The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Organic To Go Food Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

Organization and Business - Organic Holding Company, Inc., d/b/a Organic To Go, whose name was changed to Organic To Go, Inc. effective February 27, 2007, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Organic To Go Food Corporation and was incorporated in the state of Delaware in February 2004. We provide convenient cafés which prepare and serve "grab and go" lunch, dinner, and breakfast foods and beverages prepared using organic ingredients, whenever possible. We also distribute our products through delivery, catering and select wholesale accounts. In October 2006, we expanded our catering operations in the California area by acquiring the assets of a catering operation headquartered in Los Angeles, California. In March 2007, we expanded our catering operations by acquiring the assets of a catering operation located in Seattle, Washington, and in July, September and October 2007 we further expanded our operations by acquiring the assets of six retail and catering stores in San Diego, California. In February 2007, we completed a reverse merger with SP Holding Corporation, a public shell company. At December 31, 2007, we operated five stores in Washington and eighteen stores in California, with central kitchens in each market.

Management believes we have the opportunity to capture increasing market share in all three of our business channels: Delivery/Catering, Retail, and Wholesale "grab & go" convenience foods, by providing customers with delicious, healthy, wholesome and organic food choices. Management is focused in the near and long term on the challenges and risks that we face in expanding our business. These include our ability to obtain retail, catering and wholesale locations, building a sufficient infrastructure to support our expansion, and obtaining a customer base and margin improvement sufficient to achieve and sustain profitability.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity - Since our inception, we have funded operations and business development and growth through debt and equity financings. In this regard, during 2006, we raised approximately $8.1 million pursuant to sales of debt and equity securities in connection with our private placement and subordinated debt offerings. Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, proceeds of approximately $6.9 million were received from the sale of equity securities in connection with our merger with SP Holding Corporation and concurrent private placement, and approximately $5.3 million of notes payable were converted into shares of common stock. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, proceeds of approximately $6.7 million were received from the sale of debt and equity securities. In October 2007, we closed a private placement offering and issued approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company were approximately $5.7 million. In January 2008, we closed a private placement offering and issued approximately 1.4 million shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company were approximately $2.0 million. Also, in February 2008, we closed a private placement offering and issued approximately 7.1 million shares of common stock, a warrant to purchase approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock and a conditional warrant to purchase shares of common stock, which may only be exercised under certain circumstances. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company were $10.0 million. Our management intends to continue to be engaged in additional fund-raising activities to fund future capital expenditures, potential acquisitions of businesses, and provide additional working capital.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions are evaluated. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors believed reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following accounting policies are considered the more critical to aid in understanding and evaluating our results of operations and financial condition.

Use of Estimates - In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of inventories, valuation of equity related instruments issued, and valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.

Inventory - Inventory, which consists primarily of food, beverages and packaging products, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, our management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current inventory levels.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of long-lived assets would be recognized in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.

Intangible Assets - In connection with acquisitions in 2006 and 2007 of certain assets of catering businesses and other retail store locations we acquired certain identifiable intangible assets including customer-based intangibles. These acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141. Amounts allocated to intangible assets were identified by management and have been valued on a number of factors. The estimate of useful lives of each intangible asset was based on an analysis by management of all pertinent factors. Management selected an estimated useful life of two years for each identifiable intangible asset.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized at the point of sale at retail locations or upon delivery of products for delivery and wholesale transactions.


Cost of Sales - Cost of sales includes the cost of food, beverages and paper products.

Income Taxes - We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. We continue to provide a full valuation allowance in order to reduce our net deferred tax asset to zero, inasmuch as our management has not determined that realization of deferred tax assets is more likely than not. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and change during the period in net deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Stock-based Compensation - In December 2004, the FASB released SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R sets forth the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise, or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method, which requires recording an expense over the requisite service period for the fair value of all options or warrants granted to employees and consultants. We adopted SFAS 123R effective beginning January 1, 2006.

Results of Operations

Sales - Sales for 2007 increased approximately 65%, to $15.9 million, as compared with $9.7 million for 2006. Retail sales were $7.1 million during 2007, an increase of approximately 37% over $5.2 million during the comparative prior year. Retail sales comprised 45% of total sales in 2007 compared to 54% of total sales in 2006. The increase in retail sales is primarily a result of the addition of eleven new Retail Cafés that were opened or acquired during 2007. In 2007, we ended the year with 23 Retail Cafés as compared with 12 at the end of 2006.

Delivery/Catering sales were $6.6 million during 2007, an increase of $3.3 million, or approximately 100% over $3.3 million during 2006. Delivery/Catering sales comprised 41% of total sales in 2007 as compared with 34% for the prior year. The increase in delivery/catering sales during 2007 is attributable to the acquisition of catering businesses in Seattle and San Diego in addition to increased business volume in all delivery/catering operations.

Wholesale sales were $2.2 million during 2007, an increase of $1.1 million, as compared with $1.1 million during 2006. Wholesale sales comprised 14% of total sales in the 2007 period as compared with 12% in 2006. The increase in wholesale sales is due to our entrance in the San Diego market and increased business volume in existing markets.

Cost of Sales - Cost of sales includes the cost of food and paper products. Cost of sales for 2007 increased approximately 51%, to $7.4 million, as compared with $4.9 million for 2006. Cost of sales for 2007 was approximately 46% as a percent of sales as compared with 50% during the comparative prior year period. During 2007, we were able to negotiate lower costs on our food and paper products and reduce the amount of food waste and spoilage.

Gross Profit - Gross profit increased approximately 78%, to $8.5 million for 2007, as compared with $4.8 million for 2006. Gross profit for 2007 was approximately 54% of sales as compared with 50% during 2006. In addition to negotiating lower costs on our food and paper products and reducing the amount of food waste and spoilage, we also increased retail and wholesale prices during the year to improve our gross margin.


Operating Expenses - Operating expenses for 2007 increased approximately 53%, to $16.1 million, as compared with $10.5 million for 2006. Operating expenses are comprised primarily of labor, and, to a lesser extent, occupancy, utilities, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased in 2007 as compared with 2006, primarily due to increased labor and related costs as a result of continued growth since the prior year, including the acquisition of two catering businesses, increasing the number of Retail Cafés from 12 in 2006 to 23 in 2007, and preparing for future growth. During 2007, we recorded $498,000 in non-recurring, one-time expenses, including significant upfront expenses to research and open locations in San Diego, the first new geographic territory since the acquisition of Briazz in 2005.

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expense for 2007 increased to $4.0 million as compared with $1.2 million during 2006, due primarily to amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the catering and retail business acquisitions in the latter part of 2006 and throughout 2007. Depreciation and amortization for 2007 were approximately 25% of sales as compared with 12% during 2006.

Loss from Operations - Loss from operations during 2007 increased to approximately $11.5 million as compared with $6.9 million during 2006. The increase in loss from operations over the prior year is the result of an increase in gross profit of $3.7 million being offset by a $5.6 million increase in operating expenses, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million

Interest Expense, Net - Interest expense, net for 2007, decreased to $691,000 as compared with $1.1 million for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in debt from July 2006 through March 2007, prior to $5.3 million of debt being converted into equity in March 2007.

Net Loss - Net loss in 2007 increased to approximately $12.1 million as compared with $8.0 million in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As planned, we have funded operations through financing activities consisting primarily of private placements of debt and equity securities. Our management intends to raise additional debt and equity financing to fund future expansion and capital expenditures, operations and to provide additional working capital. During 2006, we raised approximately $8.1 million pursuant to sales of debt and equity securities in connection with our 2006 private placement and subordinated debt offerings. Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, proceeds of approximately $6.9 million were received from the sale of equity securities in connection with our merger with SP Holding Corporation and concurrent private placement, and approximately $5.3 million of notes payable were converted into shares of common stock. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, proceeds of approximately $6.7 million were received from the sales of debt and equity securities. In October 2007, we closed a private placement offering and issued approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by us were approximately $5.7 million. In January and February 2008, proceeds of approximately $12.0 million were received from the sales of equity securities. We intend to continue to be engaged in additional fund-raising activities to fund future capital expenditures, potential acquisitions of businesses, and provide additional working capital.

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $9.7 million in 2007 and $6.0 million in 2006. The increase in cash used by operating activities was due primarily to the increase in net loss as adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense.


Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $7.2 million and $1.2 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Uses of cash flow for investing activities in 2007 primarily related to capital expenditures associated with business expansion for the acquisition of store and kitchen fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately$16.7 million and $7.8 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of net cash provided in 2007 was due to an increase in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of common stock in private placements.

On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (with select accredited investors related to the sale of common stock of the Company and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. We closed the private placement on January 25, 2008, and issued an aggregate of 1,428,572 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 642,858 shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by us were approximately $2.0 million. Each share was sold at $1.40 per share. The warrants expire five (5) years from the date of issue and may be exercised at $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The private placement was conducted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

On February 19, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with W.Health L.P., relating to the sale of (i) our common stock, (ii) an unconditional warrant to purchase common stock and (iii) a conditional warrant to purchase common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold and issued to W.Health L.P. 7,142,857 shares of common stock at a price of $1.40 per share, for a total purchase price of $10.0 million.

The unconditional warrant provides W.Health L.P. the right to purchase 4,285,715 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The unconditional warrant is exercisable at any time through February 27, 2013 and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

The conditional warrant is exercisable only under certain circumstances, including (i) our failure to become listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or the American Stock Exchange on or before February 27, 2011, (ii) our failure to maintain listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market or the American Stock Market for certain specified time periods or (iii) if we are acquired by or merge with another unaffiliated entity for consideration to the Company of an amount equal to or less than $2.50 per share before February 27, 2013 (each, an "Exercise Event"). Upon the occurrence of an Exercise Event, the W.Health L.P. will have the right to purchase such number of shares of common stock, calculated as of the initial date of exercise, equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis, taking into account such issuance, using the treasury method, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The conditional warrant will expire upon the occurrence of certain specific events, but in any event, no later than February 27, 2013. The conditional warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis.

In connection with the sale of common stock to W.Health, L.P., we entered into registration rights agreements, which require us to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and cause to be made effective, initial registration statements covering the resale of the common stock and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants within specified time periods

Subsequent to December 31, 2007, we entered into new leases for computer hardware and software, furniture, fixtures and equipment in our cafés, which provide for additional minimum future lease payments over their three-year terms of approximately $1.0 million including interest.
