    Reported revenue increased 20% to $2,107,968 for the second quarter of
    2013 from $1,752,947 for the same quarter of 2012.

--  17% increase in System-wide Sales
    System-wide sales revenue (include licensed cafe) increased 17% to
    $2,333,256 for the second quarter of 2013 from $1,991,520 for the same
    quarter of 2012.

--  25% increase in Gross Profit
    Gross profit increased 25% to $1,420,477 for the second quarter of 2013
    from $1,137,926 for the same quarter of 2012. SPoT's gross margin
    percentage increased to 67% of revenue for the second quarter of 2013
    from 65% for the same quarter of 2012.

--  33% COGS
    Cost of sales was $687,491 and represents 33% of revenue for the second
    quarter of 2013. It's in- line with the increased sales and higher gross
    margins.

--  Positive Cafe-level EBITDA
    On a cash basis, SPoT achieved positive Cafe-level EBITDA of $304,544
    for the second quarter of 2013, represents a significant increase
    compared to a negative EBITDA of $11,007 for the same quarter of 2012.
    The Company reported consolidated net loss of $784,697 for the second
    quarter of 2013. Other than non-cash expenses of $208,690, the key
    driver behind the net loss during the second quarter is a $530,809 non-
    cash charge for the write-off of the carrying value of leasehold
    improvements due to the discontinued operations of the non-performing
    Spot Park Place cafe and the termination of its lease.

--  25% increase in Commercial Accounts Sales
    Commercial accounts sales increased 25% to $57,470 for the second
    quarter of 2013 from $46,037 for the same quarter of 2012.

In May of 2013, the Company discontinued operations at the SPoT Park Place cafe. Upon extensive review of the cafe's performance by SPoT's management, it was determined that slower than anticipated condominium development in the surrounding community and the corresponding lack of a critical mass of residents necessitated the closure of that location. As a result of the termination of leased space for Spot Park Place cafe, the company took a non-cash charge of $530,809 for the write-off of the carrying value of leasehold improvements for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The net loss of $501,951 is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

SPoT Will Benefit From the Following Key Factors For the Remainder Of 2013

1.  Increasing gross margins
2.  Escalating purchasing power
3.  Major sales and distribution agreement with American Natural
4.  Ongoing realization of monthly fixed operational cost savings of $20,000
5.  Benefit of full year of operation for SPoT Hertel, SPoT Transit and SPoT
    Saratoga Springs
6.  Expansion of coffee roasting operations

"We are extremely pleased with the position of Company at this time. We have successfully begun our first sales and distribution agreement and have closed a highly unprofitable cafe location," said Mr. Anton Ayoub, President of SPoT Coffee, commenting on the Company's operations. "The systems and cost saving measures implemented over the last several quarters can now be seen positively impacting gross margins and lowering fixed cost at the head office level. I believe that these savings will continue in perpetuity, allowing the Company to realize profitability at the corporate level."
