Any of these types of transactions, regardless of the particular prospect or industry, would require us to issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock, that could amount to as much as 95% or more of our outstanding voting securities following the completion of any such transaction; accordingly, investments in any such private enterprise, if available, would be much more favorable than any investment in us.


Management intends to consider a number of factors prior to making any decision as to whether to participate in any specific business endeavor, none of which may be determinative or provide any assurance of success.  These may include, but will not be limited to, as applicable, an analysis of the quality of the particular business or entity’s management personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new products or marketing concepts that any such business or company may have; the merit of any such business’ or company’s technological changes; the present financial condition, projected growth potential and available technical, financial and managerial resources of any such business or company; working capital, history of operations and future prospects; the nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of any such company’s management services and the depth of its management; the business’ or the company’s potential for further research, development or exploration; risk factors specifically related to the business’ or company’s operations; the potential for growth, expansion and profit of the business or company; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of the company or the business’ products, services, trademarks and name identification; and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly or accurately quantify or analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to specific objective criteria of an identified business or company.


Furthermore, the results of operations of any specific business or company may not necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by reason of changing market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in product emphasis, future management personnel and changes in innumerable other factors.  Also, in the case of a new business venture, or one that is in a research and development mode, the risks will be substantial, and there will be no objective criteria to examine the effectiveness, or the abilities of its management or its business objectives.  Additionally, a firm market for its products or services may yet need to be established, and with no past track record, the profitability of any such enterprise will be unproven, and cannot be predicted with any certainty.


Our Management will attempt to meet personally with management and key personnel of the business or company providing any potential business opportunity afforded to us, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of information provided and gathered, check references of management and key personnel and conduct other reasonably prudent due diligence measures calculated to ensure a reasonably thorough review of any particular business opportunity; however, due to time constraints of our management, and the lack of available funds for these purposes, these activities may be limited.


We are unable to predict the time as to when, and if we may ever actually participate in any specific business endeavor.  We anticipate that proposed business ventures will be made available to us through personal contacts of our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, professional advisors, broker dealers in securities, venture capital personnel, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals.  In certain cases, we may agree to pay a finder’s fee or to otherwise compensate the persons who submit a potential business endeavor in which we eventually participate.  Such persons may include our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of our securities or their “affiliates.”  In that event, such fees may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential venture and, accordingly, may present a conflict of interest for such individuals.  Management does not presently intend to acquire or merge with any business enterprise in which any member has a prior ownership interest.


Our directors and executive officers have not used any particular consultants, advisors or finders on a regular basis.




5




Although we currently have no plans to do so, depending on the nature and extent of services rendered, we may compensate members of management in the future for services that they may perform for us.  Because we currently have extremely limited resources, and because we are unlikely to have any significant resources until we have determined a business or enterprise to engage in, or have completed a merger or acquisition, management expects that any such compensation would take the form of an issuance of our common stock to these persons; this would have the effect of further diluting the holdings of our other stockholders.


Substantial fees are often paid in connection with the completion of all types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers, ranging from a small amount to as much as $600,000 or more.  These fees are usually divided among promoters or founders or finders, after deduction of legal, accounting and other related expenses, and it is not unusual for a portion of these fees to be paid to members of management or to principal stockholders as consideration for their agreement to retire a portion of the shares of common stock owned by them.  Management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of all or any portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed reorganization, merger or acquisition.  It is not anticipated that any such opportunity will be afforded to other stockholders or that such other stockholders will be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.  In the event that any such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential acquisition or merger by us, and accordingly, may also present a conflict of interest for such individuals.  We have no present arrangements or understandings respecting any of these types of fees or opportunities.


None of our directors, executive officers, founders or their affiliates or associates has had any negotiations with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition, reorganization, merger or other business opportunity for us; nor are there any similar arrangements with us.


Principal Products or Services and Their Markets


None; not applicable.


Distribution Methods of the Products or Services


None; not applicable.


Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service


None; not applicable.


Competitive Business Conditions and Small Business Issuers Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition


Management believes that there are literally thousands of blank check or shell companies engaged in endeavors similar to those planned to be engaged in by us; many of these companies have substantial current assets and cash reserves. Competitors also include thousands of other publicly-held companies whose business operations have proven unsuccessful, and whose only viable business opportunity is that of providing a publicly-held vehicle through which a private entity may have access to the public capital markets.  There is no reasonable way to predict our competitive position or that of any other entity in the strata of these endeavors; however, we, having limited assets and cash reserves, will no doubt be at a competitive disadvantage in competing with entities which have recently completed IPO’s, have significant cash resources and have recent operating histories when compared with the complete lack of any substantive operations by us for the past several years.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers


None; not applicable.


Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers


None; not applicable.


Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration


None; not applicable.


Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services


Because we currently produce no products or services, we are not presently subject to any governmental regulation in this regard, except applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, as outlined above, and under the heading below.  However, in the event that we engage in any business endeavor or complete any merger or acquisition transaction with an entity that engages in governed activities, we will become subject to all governmental approval requirements to which the business or the merged or acquired entity is subject.


Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business


The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the SEC in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a “Small Business Issuer,” defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25 million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the issuer’s outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25 million or more. We are now considered to be a “smaller reporting company, effective February 4, 2008, when the SEC abolished Regulation SB.


The SEC, state securities commissions and NASAA have expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it easier for a small business issuer to have access to the public capital markets.  The present laws, rules and regulations designed to promote availability to the small business issuer of these capital markets and similar laws, rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future will substantially limit the demand for blank check or shell companies like us, and may make the use of these companies obsolete.


We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors, of public companies and to strengthen auditor independence.  It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, and compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14-A.  Matters submitted to our stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14-A or 14-C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.


We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K12G3.


If we are acquired by a “non-reporting issuer” under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to the “back-door registration” requirements of the SEC that will require us to file a Current Report on Form 8-K12G3 that will include all information about such “non-reporting issuer” as would have been required to be filed by that entity had it filed a Form 10 or Form 10-SB Registration Statement with the SEC.  The SEC proposed on April 13, 2004, that any acquisition that will result in us no longer being a blank check or shell company will require us to include all information about the acquired company as would have been required to be filed by that entity had it filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC.


We are also prohibited from utilizing Form S-8 for the registration of our securities until we have not been a shell company for at least 60 days.


Under subparagraph (i) of Rule 144, no sales of “restricted securities” issued by us while we are a shell company can be publicly sold for at least one year from when we file the Form 10 information about any acquisition, reorganization or merger that results in us no longer being considered to be a shell company.


Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years


None; not applicable.


Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws


None; not applicable.  However, environmental laws, rules and regulations may have an adverse effect on any business venture viewed by us as an attractive acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate, and these factors may further limit the number of potential candidates available to us for acquisition, reorganization or merger.


Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees


None.


Reports to Security Holders


You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the SEC at their internet site www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

 

In any business venture, there are substantial risks specific to the particular enterprise which cannot be ascertained until a potential acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate has been specifically identified; however, at a minimum, our present and proposed business operations will be highly speculative, and will be subject to the same types of risks inherent in any new or unproven venture, and will include those types of risk factors outlined below, among others that cannot now be determined.


Extremely Limited Assets; No Source of Revenue.


We have virtually no assets and have had no profitable operations since inception.  We will not receive revenues until we select an industry in which to commence business or complete an acquisition, reorganization or merger, at the earliest.  We can provide no assurance that any selected or acquired business will produce any material revenues for us or our stockholders, or that any such business will operate on a profitable basis.


We are deemed to be a Shell Company Until We Adopt a Business Plan and Commence Principal Significant Operations.


The limited business operations of ours, as now contemplated, involve those of a shell company.  The only activities to be conducted by us are to manage our current limited assets and corporate standing, and to seek out and investigate the commencement or the acquisition of any viable business opportunity by purchase and exchange for our securities, or pursuant to a reorganization or merger through which our securities will be issued or exchanged.


Discretionary Use of Proceeds; Blank Check or Shell Company.


Because we are not currently engaged in any substantive business activities, as well as management’s broad discretion with respect to selecting a business or industry for commencement of operations or completing an acquisition of assets, property or a business, we are deemed to be a “blank check” or shell company.  Although management intends to apply any proceeds that we may receive through the private issuance of stock or debt to a suitable business enterprise, subject to the criteria identified above, such proceeds will not otherwise be designated for any more specific purpose.  We can provide no assurance that any use or allocation of such proceeds will allow us to achieve our business objectives.  We will comply with Rule 419 of Regulation C of the SEC if we issue stock or debt in a public offering, by depositing proceeds promptly into an escrow account or trust account that provides that the funds would not be released until we provide the purchaser of any such securities with information regarding the business combination and also receive in writing a confirmation regarding its, his or her decision to invest.


We Are Not Currently Engaged in any Substantive Business Activity, and We Have No Plans to Engage in any Such Activity in the Foreseeable Future, Except the Search for a Business or an Entity to Acquire that May Be Beneficial to Us and Our Stockholders.


When and if we will complete an acquisition is presently unknown, and will depend upon various factors, including but not limited to, funding and its availability; and if and when any potential acquisition may become available to us on terms acceptable to us.



9




We Will Seek Out Business Opportunities.


Management will seek out and investigate business opportunities through every reasonably available fashion, including personal contacts, professionals, securities broker dealers, venture capital personnel, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals; we may also advertise our availability as a vehicle to bring a company to the public market through a reverse reorganization or merger, subject to the limitations on any such advertising that are included in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the General Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.


Absence of Substantive Disclosure Relating to Prospective Acquisitions.


Because we have not yet identified any industry or assets, property or business that we may engage in or acquire, our potential investors will have virtually no substantive information upon which to base a decision of whether to invest in us.  Potential investors would have access to significantly more information if we had already identified a potential acquisition, or if the acquisition target had made an offering of its securities directly to the public.  We can provide no assurance that any investment in us will not ultimately prove to be less favorable than such a direct investment.


Unspecified Industry and Acquired Business; Unascertainable Risks.


To date, we have not identified any particular industry or business in which to concentrate our potential interests.  Accordingly, prospective investors currently have no basis to evaluate the comparative risks and merits of investing in any industry or business in which we may acquire.  To the extent that we may acquire a business in a high risk industry, we will become subject to those risks.  Similarly, if we acquire a financially unstable business or a business that is in the early stages of development, we will also become subject to the numerous risks to which those businesses are subject.  Although management intends to consider the risks inherent in any industry and business in which we may become involved, there can be no assurance that we will correctly assess such risks.


Uncertain Structure of Acquisition.


Management has had no preliminary contact or discussions regarding, and there are no present plans, proposals or arrangements to engage in or acquire any specific business, assets, property or business.  Accordingly, it is unclear whether such an acquisition would take the form of a purchase with a funding requirement as a condition precedent to closing, or an exchange of capital stock, a merger, or an asset acquisition.  However, because we have virtually no resources as of the date of this Annual Report, management expects that any such acquisition would take the form of an exchange of capital stock.


Auditors Going Concern Opinion.


The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued in connection with our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, expressed “substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern,” due to our status as a start-up and our lack of profitable operations.  See the Index to Financial Statements, Part II, Item 8.


Losses Associated With Startup.


We have not had a profitable operating history.  We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable.



10





Federal and State Restrictions on Blank Check or Shell Companies.


Federal Restrictions


Recent amendments to Form 8-K by the SEC regarding shell companies and transactions with shell companies require the filing of all information about an acquired company that would have been required to have been filed had any such company filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, along with required audited, interim and proforma financial statements, within four business days of the closing of any such transaction. These new regulations also deny the use of Form S-8 for the registration of securities of a shell company, and limit the use of this Form to a reorganized shell company until the expiration of 60 days from when any such entity is no longer considered to be a shell company.  This prohibition could further restrict opportunities for us to acquire companies that may already have stock option plans in place that cover numerous employees.  In such an instance, there may be no exemption from registration for the issuance of securities in any business combination to these employees, thereby necessitating the filing of a registration statement with the SEC to complete any such reorganization, and incurring the time and expense costs normally avoided by reverse reorganizations.


Further, recent amendments to Rule 144, adopted by the SEC and effective on February 15, 2008, codify the SEC’s prior position limiting the tradeability of certain securities of shell companies, including those issued by us in any acquisition, reorganization or merger, and further limit the tradeability of additional securities of shell companies; these proposals will further restrict the availability of opportunities for us to acquire any business or enterprise that wants to utilize us as a means of going public.  See the heading “Restrictions on Sales of “Restricted Securities,” Part II, Item 5, for a discussion of the general requirements of Rule 144 and the limitations of the Rule with respect to shell companies.


If we publicly offer any securities as a condition to the closing of any acquisition, merger or reorganization while we are a blank check or shell company, we will have to fully comply with Rule 419 of the SEC and deposit all funds in escrow pending advice about the proposed transaction to our stockholders, fully disclosing all information required by Regulation 14 of the SEC and seeking the vote and agreement of investment of those stockholders to whom such securities were offered; if no response is received from these stockholders within 45 days thereafter, or if any elect not to invest following advice about the proposed transaction, all funds held in escrow must be promptly returned to any such stockholder.  All securities issued in any such offering will likewise be deposited in escrow, pending satisfaction of the foregoing conditions.  The foregoing is only a brief summary of Rule 419.  We do not anticipate making any public offerings of our securities that would come within the context of an offering described in Rule 419.


All of these laws, rules and regulations could severely restrict us from completing the acquisition of any business or any merger or reorganization for the following reasons, among others:


§

The time and expense in complying with any of the foregoing could be prohibitive and eliminate the reasons  for a reverse reorganization.


§

Management or others who own or receive shares may demand registration rights for these shares, and the acquisition candidate may refuse to grant them by reason of the time, cost and expense; or because the filing of any such registration statement may be integrated with planned financing options that could prohibit or interfere with such options or such registration statement.


§

Demands for cash in lieu of securities could be too high a cost of dilution to the acquisition candidate, especially when taking into account the dilution that results from the shareholdings that are retained by our shareholders.




11




§

These costs and expenses, if agreed upon, would no doubt further dilute our shareholders, as any acquisition candidate may not be willing to leave as many shares with our shareholders in any such transaction.


§

Finders and parties who may introduce acquisition candidates would no doubt be unwilling to introduce any such candidates to us if shares issued to them were not granted registration rights, which would substantially restrict our ability to attract such potential candidates.


State Restrictions


A total of 34 states prohibit or substantially restrict the registration and sale of blank check or shell companies within their borders.  We intend to comply fully with all state securities laws, and plan to take the steps necessary to ensure that any future offering of our securities is limited to those states in which such offerings are allowed.  However, while we have no substantive business operations and are deemed to be a blank check or shell company, these legal restrictions may have a material adverse impact on our ability to raise capital, because potential purchasers of our securities must be residents of states that permit the purchase of such securities.  These restrictions may also limit or prohibit stockholders from reselling shares of common stock within the borders of regulating states.


By regulation or policy statement, some states place various restrictions on the sale or resale of equity securities of blank check or shell companies.  These restrictions include, but are not limited to, heightened disclosure requirements, exclusion from “manual listing” registration exemptions for secondary trading privileges and outright prohibition of public offerings of such companies.


In most jurisdictions, blank check and shell companies are not eligible for participation in the Small Corporate Offering Registration (“SCOR”) program, which permits an issuer to notify the SEC of certain offerings registered in such states by filing a Form D under Regulation D of the SEC.  All states (with the exception of Alabama, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York) have adopted some form of SCOR.  States participating in the SCOR program also allow applications for registration of securities by qualification via filing of a Form U-7 with the states’ securities commissions. Nevertheless, we do not anticipate making any SCOR offering or other public offering in the foreseeable future, even in any jurisdiction where we may be eligible for participation in SCOR, despite our status as a blank check or shell company.


The net effect of the above-referenced laws, rules and regulations will be to place significant restrictions on our ability to register, offer and sell and/or to develop a secondary market for shares of our common stock in virtually every jurisdiction in the United States.  These restrictions should cease once and if we acquire a venture by purchase, reorganization or merger, so long as the business operations succeeded to involve sufficient activities of a specific nature.


Management to Devote Insignificant Time to Activities of Our Company.


Members of our management are not required to devote their full time to our affairs.  Because of their time commitments, as well as the fact that we have no business operations, the members of our management currently devote one hour a week to our activities, and will continue to do so until such time as we have identified a suitable acquisition target, or have determined to engage in a particular business or industry and have commenced such operations.



12




No Market for Common Stock; No Market for Shares.


Although our shares of common stock are currently quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “JVEX,” there is currently no established market for such shares; and there can be no assurance that such a market will ever develop or be maintained.  Any market price for shares of our common stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant effect.  In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies.  These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock in any market that may develop.  Sales of “restricted securities” under Rule 144 may also have an adverse effect on any market that may develop.  See Part II, Item 5.


Risks of “Penny Stock.”


Our common stock may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the SEC.  Penny stocks are stocks (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ- listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years); or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years); or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the SEC require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account.  Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.”


Moreover, Rule 15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any “penny stock” to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his, her or its financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor, and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.  Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.


There Has Been No “Established Public Market” for Our Common Stock Since Inception.


At such time as we identify a business opportunity or complete a merger or acquisition transaction, if at all, we may attempt to qualify for quotation on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.  However, at least initially, any trading in our common stock is conducted on the OTCBB market.

Our stock is thinly traded and we do not have an established market. For any market that develops for our common stock, the sale of “restricted securities” (common stock) pursuant to Rule 144 of the SEC by our current stockholders or any other persons to whom any such securities may be issued in the future may have a substantial adverse impact on any such public market, along with sales made pursuant to registration statements filed respecting shares of any of our presently issued or future issued shares.  See  “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities,” in this Part II, Item 5, below.


Holders


We currently have 50 shareholders not including an indeterminate number who may hold shares in “street name.”

Dividends


We have never paid dividends on our common stock.  The Board of Directors presently intends to pursue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in our operations and to finance expansion of our business.  Any declaration and payment of dividends in the future, of which there can be no assurance, will be determined by our Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. There are presently no dividends which are accrued or owing with respect to our outstanding stock. No assurance can be given that dividends will ever be declared or paid on our common stock in the future.

We issued all of these securities to persons who were “accredited investors,” as defined under Rule 501 or “sophisticated” as defined under Rule 506, who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in our company. Each had prior access to all material information about us. Mr. Trimble also had a prior relationship with Java. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the SEC.  Section 18 of the Securities Act preempts state registration requirements of private sales to “accredited investors.”  


Resales of the shares listed in table above by Globe Energy Technologies and Mr. Trimble must be made through an available exemption such as Rule 144 or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act in “routine trading transactions,” because their public sales, if any, must be made pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the SEC or an available registration exemption like Rule 144, that will require a minimum holding period of one year from when we file the Form 8-K12G information about any acquisition, reorganization or merger that results in us no longer being considered to be a shell company, among other conditions.  Any person who acquires any of these securities in a private transaction may be subject to the same resale requirements. (See below for a general discussion on Rule 144).

The following is an excerpt from Rule 144(i) regarding resales of securities of shell companies:


“(i)

Unavailability to securities of issuers with no or nominal operations and no or nominal non-cash assets.


(1)

This section is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer defined below:


(i)

An issuer, other than a business combination related shell company, as defined in §230.405, or an asset-backed issuer, as defined in Item 1101(b) of Regulation AB (§229.1101(b) of this chapter), that has:




16




(A)

No or nominal operations; and


(B)

Either:


(1)   No or nominal assets;


(2)   Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or


(3)   Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets; or


(ii)

An issuer that has been at any time previously an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i).


(2)

Notwithstanding paragraph (i)(1), if the issuer of the securities previously had been an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) but has ceased to be an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i); is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issue was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports (§249.308 of this chapter); and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i), then those securities may be sold subject to the requirements of this section after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the Commission.


(3)

The term “Form 10 information” means the information that is required by Form 10 or Form 20-F (§249.220f of this chapter), as applicable to the issuer of the securities, to register under the Exchange Act each class of securities being sold under this rule.  The issuer may provide the Form 10 information in any filing of the issuer with the Commission.  The Form 10 information is deemed filed when the initial filing is made with the Commission.”


Securities of a shell company cannot be publicly sold under Rule 144 in the absence of compliance with this subparagraph, though the SEC has implied that these restrictions would not be enforced respecting securities issued by a shell company while it was not determined to be a shell company.


Section 4(1) of the Securities Act


Since we are a shell company as defined in subparagraph (i) of Rule 144, our shares of common stock cannot be publicly resold under Rule 144 until we comply with the requirements outlined above under the heading “Shell Companies.”  Until those requirements have been satisfied, any resales of our shares of common stock must be made in compliance with the provisions of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided in Section 4(1) thereof, applicable to persons other than “an issuer, underwriter or a dealer.”  That will require that such shares of common stock be sold in “routine trading transactions,” which would include compliance with substantially all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of its availability; and such resales may be limited to our non-affiliates.  It is the position of the SEC that the Section 4(1) exemption is not available for the resale of any securities of an issuer that is or was a shell company, by directors, executive officers, promoters or founders or their transferees.  See NASD Regulation, Inc., CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter, 1990-2000 Decisions, Paragraph No. 77,681, the so-called “Worm-Wulff Letter.”

ITEM 7:     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.


Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements


When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”  “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect the Java’s future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position.  Persons reviewing this report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Such factors are discussed further below under “Trends and Uncertainties”, and also include general economic factors and conditions that may directly or indirectly impact our financial condition or results of operations.

General


Java Express, Inc. was incorporated on December 14, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of selling coffee and other related items to the general public from retail coffee shop locations. We were unsuccessful in establishing retail coffee shop locations and on September 29, 2004 acquired 100% ownership in K-Com Business Coaching Corp., a Utah Corporation.  We discontinued our efforts to establish a coffee shop business and began focusing on developing K-Com’s existing business coaching operations. In January 30, 2006, we dissolved K-Com Business Coaching Services and all of its assets and liabilities were absorbed Java Express and are reflected in our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006.  Although we generated limited revenues from our coaching business, we were not successful in establishing significant operations. We had no revenues from the coaching business in each of the last two fiscal years and we are now a “shell company”.


Plan of Operation


Our plan of operation for the next 12 months is to: (i) consider guidelines of industries in which we may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in the business of any selected industry; and (iii) to commence such operations through funding and/or the acquisition of a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected.


During the next 12 months, our only foreseeable cash requirements will relate to maintaining our good standing or to the payment of our Securities and Exchange filing expenses and associated legal fees, accounting fees and costs incident to reviewing or verifying information about any potential business venture, any of which may be advanced by management or principal stockholders as loans to us.  There is no agreement that management will advance these funds.  Because we have not determined any business or industry in which our operations will be commenced, and we have not identified any prospective venture as of the date of this Annual Report, it is impossible to predict the amount of any such loan.  Any such loan will be on terms no less favorable to us than would be available from a commercial lender in an arm’s length transaction.  As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not actively begun to seek any such venture.  No advance or loan from any affiliate will be required to be repaid as a condition to any agreement with future acquisition partners.


When and if a business is commenced or an acquisition is made is presently unknown, and will depend upon various factors, including but not limited to, funding and its availability; and if and when any potential acquisition may become available to us at terms acceptable to us.  The estimated costs associated with reviewing and verifying information about a potential business venture would be mainly for due diligence and the legal process, and could cost between $5,000 and $25,000.  These funds will either be required to be loaned by management or raised in private offerings; we cannot assure you that we can raise these funds, if needed.

At March 31, 2008 our total current assets were $23,627 and consisted of cash and cash equivalents; we had no fixed assets.  As of March 31, 2007 our fixed assets were valued at $7,535 net of accumulated depreciation of $10,365 and consisted of equipment; these fixed assets were exchanged for consulting services during the current year and valued at $5,345 at the time of the exchange.


Liabilities at March 31, 2007 totaled $3,230, and consisted of accounts payable.  Related party notes payable and a related party accounts payable were paid on March 11, 2008 as further discussed below under “Funding through Convertible Notes” and “Funding through Services.”


Acquisition of Subsidiary through Issuance of Common Stock


We funded the acquisition of our subsidiary through the issuance of common stock.  On September 29, 2004 the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock for the 100% purchase of K-Com Business Coaching. The shares were issued in a private transaction without registration in reliance of the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No broker was involved and no commissions were paid on the transaction.


Funding Through Convertible Notes


We have consistently funded operations in the last three years through loans from both related and non-related parties as evidenced by various convertible notes listed below. As of our year ended March 31, 2008, all of the notes listed in the table are paid as discussed in the footnotes to the table.

(1)   The Shannon Kirch Convertible Note:  was for $143,700, had an imputed interest rate of 6% and was past due on December 31, 2005. The note was renegotiated once to increase the conversion period to December 31, 2007 and the conversion price to $0.10 per share.  The note was renegotiated a second time to increase the conversion period to December 31, 2008.


Shannon Kirch sold her note to third party for $143,700.  The note, which had interest of $32,135, was compromised to $0.05 per share and converted by the holder into 3,518,700 shares of our common stock on March 11, 2008.  The shareholder purchased an additional 1,100,000 shares in a private placement in conjunction with this acquisition. The shareholder, Globe Energy Technologies, LLC, is now a 49.7% shareholder and is controlled by Mark Burdge, a director of Java since that same date.


(2)  The Kelly Trimble Notes:   Mr. Trimble loaned us funds during the last three fiscal years which were the subject of seven convertible notes due on various dates between December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2008 and aggregated $44,784 in principal with $3,338 in interest.  The conversion rate on the notes was $0.10 per share.  On March 11, 2008, we compromised the conversion rate to $0.05 per share and converted the note into 962,440 shares of our common stock.  Kelly Trimble now owns 1,912,430 shares of our common stock or 16.95% of our outstanding shares.





20




(3) We also received a loan of $5,458.05 from John Chris Kirch under a convertible note due and payable on December 31, 2007.  The note was convertible at his option any time after December 31, 2007 but no later than December 31, 2008 at the “bid” price of our shares or into 54,580 shares of our stock in the event there is no bid.  The note was satisfied on March 11, 2008.


All of the above notes were payable on demand and convertible at the holder’s option within various time parameters.  At the date the notes were entered into we had no determinable value of our stock and thus there was no determinable value for the conversion options.  Two of the notes had stated interest of 6% and interest was imputed at 6% for all of the other notes.  The notes carried a conversion rate of $0.10 per share absent a market for our shares. The conversion rate on these notes was compromised to $0.05 per share at the time they were converted by reason of:


§

The convertible notes were in default;

§

We did not have the funds to pay the convertible notes;

§

We wished to repay notes;

§

We are a “shell company” as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; and

§

There are new resale restrictions under Rule 144 regarding shares of companies that are classified as “shell companies.”


Funding through Services


We were provided services by Lance Musicant who served as an officer and director from inception through his resignation on June 1, 2006.  Mr. Musicant performed services valued at $29,000 during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and was still owed $25,000 through the first three quarters of this fiscal year.  On March 11, 2006, Lance Musicant agreed to accept  $19,000 as payment in full of the debt.


Funding through Private Placement


On March 11, 2008, we authorized the private offering of a maximum of 1,100,000 shares or our common stock that are “restricted securities.” These shares were sold to Globe Energy Technoligies LLC (who had acquired the $143,700 convertible note discussed above) at $0.05 per share, for proceeds of $55,000. No commissions were paid.  A $25,000 debt to our former president was satisfied for $19,000 with these funds as well as a $5,458 convertible note.  The balance of the proceeds are held in escrow and will be used to pay legal fees associated with the offering of $5,000 and as working capital.


Funding Future Acquisitions and Operations


Our ability to fund our operations and future acquisitions is discussed above under “Plan of Operations.”


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


None.
