Item 1. BUSINESS
General
Food Concepts, Inc., the Company, formerly known as Granite, Ltd. and then Savon Coffee, Inc. was incorporated under the law of the State of Nevada on June 16, 1982.
The Company was founded to provide gourmet and specialty coffees to consumers. Food Concepts is a roaster, packer and seller of roasted coffees and produces over 70 flavored coffees. It distributes it's products through sales representatives advertising specialty companies and the United States Army. In addition, the Company sells orders obtained directly from customers such as restaurants, coffee houses and retailers.
The Company has approximately 700 accounts and a market that is very diversified. Two customers account for more than 10 percent of the Company's present revenues. They are Christmas Tree Shop and Anron Coffee and Tea, Inc.
The Company purchases its coffee beans through coffee importers and agents. The principal sources for such raw materials are South America, Central America and Africa as well as any other areas where coffee beans are grown and exported. It is the Company's opinion that sources of raw materials while their prices do fluctuate are plentiful on the world market. The Company faces a great deal of competition within this area especially over the last three years due to the immense growth of the coffee market of wholesale and retail.
The Company however has been able to compete successfully by offering very competitive prices and service to its customers.
The Company presently employs seven individuals, two in management, one clerical and four warehouse personnel. The Company considers their labor relations to be excellent and none of the persons presently employed are represented by organized labor.
Food Concepts owns the registered intellectual property right charters listed as follows:
"Coffee Lovers Six Pack" (registered mark number 151,553,926, said mark having been registered with United States Patent Office and the mark was issued on August 29, 1989 and is valid for 20 years).
"Coffee Lovers Coffee" (registered mark number 1,673566 registered in the United States Patent Office and issued on January 28, 1992 and valid for 10 year s). The above marks have been registered in applicable states where necessary.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Company presently leases 6800 square feet of warehouse and office space at 6601 Lyons Road, Suite C-12, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073. The term of said lease is for five years and two months commencing the 12th day of February, 1996. The rent for the first 26 months is fixed and the remaining 36 months is subject to a formula which is provided in the lease. Included within the warehouse facilities are coffee roasters and packaging equipment to prepackage and customize the packaging seventy flavored coffees.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Coffee House Holding Company has filed a law suit against Savon Coffee in the amount of $7,524 plus a percentage of gross profit for not fulfilling an agreement to purchase coffee exclusively from Coffee House Holding. This action was instituted against Savon Coffee, Inc. on March 16, 1994 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, for not fulfilling an agreement to purchase coffee exclusively from Coffee Holding Company. The Company expects to be successful in this matter.
On July 3, 1996, the Company commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida bearing docket number 96-09431-11 entitled Food Concepts, Inc. vs. Lasorda's Dug Out, Inc., a Florida corporation, et al.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AS A RESULT OF OPERATIONS.
Liquidity and capital resources
OPERATIONS. The operating entities of the company, Savon Coffee, Inc. and Palm Beach Coffee, Inc., represents 100 percent of the total revenue of the Company with Savon contributing 80 percent and Palm Beach 20 percent. The cost of operating both companies is similar and neither one results in any disparate expense to the Company. The Company, Food Concepts, Inc., which evolved from Savon Coffee, Inc. was originally founded by its now president and vice president Herbert Glaubman and Francis Resnick respectively in August of 1986. The Company was originally located at 5197 Northwest 15th Street, Margate, Florida. The Company has maintained various locations from August 1986 through 1993 during which time the Company was a development stage enterprise funded primarily by the founders. On October 27, 1995 the Company by virtue of a reorganization agreement wherein Granite, Ltd., a publically traded Nevada corporation, acquired Savon Coffee, Inc. which subsequently changed its name to Food Concepts, Inc. became a public company trading its stock on the OTC bulletin board.
The Company does not presently have any specific plan or arrangement for alternate financing and there is no assurance that any will be available to the Company. The Company is presently indebted to the First Union Bank in the approximate amount of $14,000. Said note is secured by the inventory and equipment of the Company. The Company does not now have any specific need to arrange for additional credit lines.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, a large amount of inventory is necessary. The Company presently roasts and ships approximately 70 different types of flavored coffees. This in and of itself necessitates a large inventory. In addition, substantial inventory is also necessary as the Company is dependent upon foreign growers for coffee beans. Management sees no detriment to the maintaining of a large inventory as it pertains to their cash flow and working capital.
ACQUISITIONS
On October 27, 1995, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Savon Coffee, Inc. whose principal business consists of manufacture and direct sales distributing of Gourmet Coffee, for 20,000,000 shares (pre-split) of common stock.
On January 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Palm Beach Gourmet Coffee, Inc., whose principal business is direct sales of Gourmet Coffee, in exchange for 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
