NOTE A - 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 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 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.
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 br oad 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.
NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dinewise, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and SEC rules for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2006, filed on Form 10-KSB on March 29, 2007. In our opinion, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results. All such adjustments are of a normal and rec urring nature. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 30, 2007.
Fiscal year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December. The Company's 2007 first fiscal quarter consisted of the thirteen-week period, which began on January 1, 2007 and ended on April 1, 2007. The Company's 2006 first fiscal quarter consisted of the thirteen-week period, which began on December 26, 2005 and ended on March 26, 2006.

NOTE C – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 $302 and $386 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 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 31, 2006, 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 31, 2006, 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 then subsequently remitted to the local tax office, as required.
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 April 1, 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.
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 propert y 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
7
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 April 1, 2007 a nd 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 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. Based upon an independent valuation report, 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. Based upon an independent valuation report, 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 April 1, 2007 the unamortized debt discount was $1,559. In the event the convertible debentures or Debenture 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 recogni zed as interest expense and charged to operations. In addition, the change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives during the three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006 resulted in income of $227 and $0, respectively, and was reflected in interest 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.
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 notes, respectively. In the first quarter of 2007, amortization expense was $19 and $13, respectively. In the event the Convertible 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 April 1, 2007, unamortized deferred finance charges were $319 and 197, respectively.
8
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.
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.
Concentration risk
The Company purchased approximately 70% and 88% of its food products from one vendor during the three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006, respectively. 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 . There were no options granted prior to fiscal 2006. In the three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006, as a resu lt of the adoption of SFAS No.123R, the Company recorded share-based compensation for options attributable to employees, officers, directors and consultants of $35 and $0, respectively. As a result of the lack of trading volume in the Company’s common stock during the year, the Company utilized a valuation specialist to determine market value for use in the above calculation.
NOTE D- RECENTLY ADOPTED AND NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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. On that date, we had no uncertain tax positions. 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 New York (2002-2005) and North Carolina (2003-2005).

NOTE E- 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 has commenced attracting new customers through multi-channel media which include catalogues, e-commerce, strategic alliances and exhibit marketing 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 new financial institution. Accordingly, under the new business model, the Company no longer participates in the collection of accounts receivable. This is now outsourced to this new financial institution as discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The balance of accrued restructuring charges consisted of the following:
| | |
| April 1, 2007 | December 31, 2006 |
Accrued future and past minimum payments under current and delinquent lease obligations | $ 901 | $901 |
Break fee under renegotiation of lease (See Note H) | 225 | 250 |
| $1,126 | $1,151 |
In connection with the restructuring activities noted above, the Company stopped paying various vendors who were providing goods and services to the Company (although the related liabilities are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet). The Company may, from time to time, be in negotiations with vendors to pay a reduced amount; when the Company reaches an agreement with the vendor the Company may record forgiveness of debt income. As of April 1, 2007, $793 related to delinquent lease obligations.
NOTE F- ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses consist of the following as of April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006:
| | | |
| April 1, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 |
Accrued restructuring charges | $1,126 | | $1,151 |
Payroll and health benefits | 158 | | 179 |
Professional fees | 221 | | 137 |
Other | 182 | | 121 |
| $1,687 | | $1,588 |
Accrued expenses include the long-term portion of the break fee associated with the re-negotiation of the Company’s capital lease. At April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the long-term portion of the break fee was $125 and $150, respectively.
NOTE G- LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net (loss) income per common share amounts (basic EPS) are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding any potential dilution. Net (loss) income 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 quarters ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 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.
10
Common stock equivalents not included in EPS are as follows :
| | | |
| Three months ended |
| 4/1/07 | | 3/26/06 |
Stock options | 2,600,000 | | - |
Stock warrants | 200,000 | | 50,000 |
Convertible Debt #1 (1) | 10,101,010 | | - |
Convertible Debt #2 (2) | 7,431,373 | | |
Total | 20,332,383 | | 50,000 |
|

NOTE I- 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"). $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 t he Company.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the Company issued to the Investors Warrants to purchase 5,050,505 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share. The Warrants may be exercised for a period of seven years and the exercise price is subject to antidilution provisions.
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 on 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 will be made by the Company commencing on 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 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 as a result of the variable nature of the conversion price formula of the convertible debentures. Based upon an independent valuation report, 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 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, using the effective interest method, and charged to interest expense until fully amortized in July 2011 and March 2009, respectively. As of April 1, 2007 the unamortized debt discount was $1,559. In the event the Convertible Debentures are reduced in full or in part, either by Company prepayment s 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 charge to operations. In addition, the change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives during the three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006 resulted in income of $227 and $0 respectively and was reflected in interest 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data)
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This management’s 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 will consist of a fifty-two week period which began on January 1, 2007 and ends 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 $302 and $386 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006, respectively. Although we accept product returns, historical returns have been insignificant.
13
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, we no longer offer these warranty arrangements. As of December 31, 2006 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 31, 2006, 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 then subsequently remitted to the local tax office, as required.
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 April 1, 2007 an d 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.
Debt discount and Derivative liability
As a result of the Company entering 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") 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. Based upon an independent valuation report, 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. Based upon an independent valuation report, the value of these embedded derivatives was $477 at February 16, 2007. These amounts were bifurcated from the convertible debentures 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 April 1, 2007 the unamortized debt discount was $1,559. In the event the convertible 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 three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006 resulted in income of $227 and $0, respectively, and was reflected in interest 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.

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 compliments. 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 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.
Consists of interest expense paid on our 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.
Three Months Ended April 1, 2007 Compared To Three Months Ended March 26, 2006
Revenue
Revenue decreased to $2,687 for the three months ended April 1, 2007 as compared to $2,828 for the three months ended March 26, 2006. The decline in revenue of $141, or 5.0%, resulted primarily from a reduction in direct telemarketing food sales with the focus of new sales, 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 up to 36 months. As a result, service revenues related to warranty arrangements were $0 in 2007 as compared to $26 in 2006. Direct telemarketing food sales were $1,878 in 2007 as compared to $2,454 in 2006 and houseware sales were $197 in 2007 as compared to $267 in 2006. Sales from our DineWise® branded product line were $612 i n 2007 as compared to $81 in 2006. This increase of $531 or 655.6% is the result of a second quarter 2006 relaunch of the DineWise® brand, inclusive of a catalog mailing to a circulation of approximately 210,000 consumers in the first quarter of 2007, which is an increase over the fourth quarter 2006 circulation of approximately 188,000, as well as increased 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 continued planned increases in its catalog circulations during 2007 as it strives to continue improving its DineWise® sales and its brand awareness. During the four quarters of 2006, DineWise® branded sales increased from $81, to $166, to $279, to $541 in the fourth quarter of 2006 (14 weeks). In the first quarter of 2007, sales were $612 for this 13 week period, or a 13.1% increase, as compared to the prior quarter ended December 31, 2006, a 14 week period. When comparing the first quarter of 2007 to a pro-rata 13 week December 2006 quarter of $502, the percentage increase was 21.9%. All remaining quarters for 2007 are 13 week quarters.
15
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $96 to $1,344 for the three months ended April 1, 2007 as compared to $1,440 for the prior year period. This reduction was primarily due to the above mentioned reduction in sales. Gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 50.0% in 2007 as compared to 49.1% in 2006.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased $106 to $1,513 in 2007 as compared to $1,619 in 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of a change in estimate in accounting for sales taxes of $209 and lower delivery expenses, primarily related to the decline in sales, of $84 ($302 in 2007 and $386 in 2006) and reductions in other operating expenses, offset, in part by, increased marketing expenses on our Dinewise® branded products of $107 ($418 in 2007 and $311 in 2006), increased investor relations awareness and mergers and acquisition consulting of $58 ($58 in 2007 and $0 in 2006), increased stock compensation expense of $35 ($35 in 2007 and $0 in 2006) and increased other professional fees of $24.
Interest Expense
Interest (income) expense, net was ($53) and $0, for the three months ended April 1, 2007 and March 26, 2006, respectively. This is the result of interest expense of $93 incurred on our $2,500 and $1,750 Convertible 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 $6. In addition, the Company incurred amortization expense in the amount of $53 as a result of amortizing the debt discount, and mark to market income of $227 as a result of the decrease in the value of the embedded derivative liability for the period. In addition, the Company amortized $32 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, 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 April 1, 2007 the unamortized portion of the deferred finance costs and debt discount were $516 and $1,559, respectively.
Income Taxes
In 2007 and 2006 we recorded income tax expenses of $2 and $1, 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 three months ended April 1, 2007, net loss was ($119) as compared to a net loss of ($232) for the three months ended March 26, 2006. The decrease in the net loss in 2007 was primarily due to mark to market income of $227 as a result of a decrease in the value of the embedded derivative liability for the period, offset, in part by, increased marketing expenses on our new DineWise® brand, increased interest expense related to our convertible debentures, and other increased consulting and investor relations initiatives.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of April 1, 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 $2.5 million Convertible Debentures issued on July 14, 2006, interest and principal payments on our $1.750 million Convertible 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:
16
Future minimum operating lease payments, adjusted for a lease amendment, as of April 1, 2007, interest payments on our $2.5 million Convertible Debentures at 10% per annum, interest and principal payments on our $1.750 million Convertible 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):
| | | | | |
Year |

Total |
| | | | | |
2007 | $ 91 | $ 364 | $125 | $ 11 | $ 591 |
2008 | 125 | 440 | 530 | 14 | 1,109 |
2009 | 128 | 286 | 1,095 | 14 | 1,523 |
2010 | 132 | 250 | - | 14 | �� 396 |

Thereafter | 296 | - | - | - | 296 |
| $908 | $1,475 | $1,750 | $63 | $4,196 |
The $2.5 million Convertible Debentures issued on July 14, 2006 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 April 1, 2007, we had a cash balance of $1,866 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 April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of ($393) and ($1,510), respectively. Included in our accrued expenses at April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are net restructuring charges of $1,126 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 will pay monthly interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at a rate per annum equal to 14%, commencing on 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 amo unt outstanding under the Debenture will be made by the Company commencing on 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 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. As a result of the Company’s cash balances, and its past experience to raise capital to fund its operations, most recently on February 16, 2007, we believe that we have the resources to meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months. The Company will continue to monitor its operating performance and determine if and when necessary to raise additional funds to execute its business plan in the future. At April 1, 2007 we had $4,246 in Convertible Debt outstanding. We currently have no off -balance sheet financing arrangements.
17
For the three months ended April 1, 2007, cash used in operations was $693, as compared to cash used in operations of $305 for the three months ended March 26, 2006. This was primarily attributable to a net loss for the period, adjusted for non-cash items of ($194), decreased taxes payable of $207, increased accounts receivable of $112, increased deferred finance costs of $210 associated with its convertible debenture financings, decreased accounts payable of $34, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $29 and decreased deferred revenue of $13, offset, in part, by increased accrued expenses of $99 and decreased inventory of $7. 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 three months ended April 1, 2007 the Company made investments in property and equipment in the amount of $2.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner.
