Javalution to Engage Auditing Firm to Prepare for Move to Fully Reporting Public Company

SAN DIEGO, July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Javalution Coffee Company (JCOF-PK), which merged this week with Youngevity® Essential Life Sciences, announced today that it will be engaging an auditing firm to take steps toward making the company a fully-reporting public entity.

"Our goal is to be a fully transparent public company that files quarterly documents as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission," said Youngevity CEO, Steve Wallach, who added that the company will officially engage the auditing firm within the next week. 

Youngevity merged with Miami-based Javalution on July 11. As previously announced, Javalution will be reincorporating from Florida to Delaware and upon completion is expected to change its name to AL Global, but not change its current stock symbol. 

"As we said when we announced our merger with Javalution, we intend to accelerate our aggressive growth strategy and be a dynamic and innovative force in the consumer cloud," said Wallach.  "As we grow and take these major steps, we want our shareholders to be well-informed about our plans and our progress. A fully-reporting, transparent public entity is the kind of company we want to be as we execute our growth plan over the years ahead."

Wallach said that once the audit is completed over the next several months, he will have a better idea which stock exchange is most appropriate for the company. "Regardless of whether the appropriate exchange ends up being NASDAQ, AMEX or OTC-BB, our goal is the same, and that is to be fully reporting on the best exchange we qualify for, so our shareholders have all the information they need to follow our progress in detail."  He added, "The previously announced 2 for 1 reverse split has been filed and should take place in the next 2 weeks or so. We do not have any plans for additional reverse share splits."
