Footnotes to the Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2008 and 2007
Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of JJ&R Ventures, Inc. (the Company), contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2008, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and from the Date of Inception, March 2, 2007 to June 30, 2007, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and from the Date of Inception, March 2. 2007 to June 30, 2007. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is derived from the Companys audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
Description of business
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 2, 2007. The principal activities of the Company, from the beginning of the development stage, have been organizational matters and the sale of stock. The Company was formed to provide child education services.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Note B: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
6
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, of this statement on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, or (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the financial impact of SFAS 141(R) on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, or ARB 51, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement also amends certain of ARB 51s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS 141(R). In addition, SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. The provisions of SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are currently assessing the financial impact of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
Note C: Income taxes
The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components: current tax benefit of $18,643 resulting from a net loss before income taxes, and deferred tax expenses of $18,643 from a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforward will expire in 2027.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized. At the time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction would result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer required.
Note D: Sale of stock
During the month of January, 2008, escrow closed on funds raised through an IPO in 2007. From the offering, the Company raised $114,550 on the sale of 1,145,500 at $0.10 per share.
Note E: Related Party Transactions
During the period ending March 31, 2008, the Company repaid a $3,000 loan from one of its shareholders, plus $194 in accrued interest. The company has not borrowed any additional funds from shareholders or related parties as of June 30, 2008.
7
During the six month period June 30, 2008, the company paid $23,100 in management fees to a related party for the management of day-to-day operations. The board of directors had authorized up to $24,000 to the same related party to be paid for day to day management fees.
Note F Note Payable

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT NOTICE
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, estimate or continue or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.
Description of Business.
General
We were formed as a Nevada corporation on March 2, 2007 as JJ&R Ventures, Inc. We are in the business of developing and marketing educational book series, consisting of books, presentations, and flash cards focusing on healthy nutrition information for children. Our goal is to promote our books and educational materials by also developing educational programs for kids and parents throughout the United States. The educational programs will start with our Whats in My Food? series designed to help kids to see the value of eating healthy.
Our business
JJ&R is in the business of developing childrens books, flash cards, and other learning materials on most urgent and popular subjects for sale to the general public.
Initially, we plan on focusing primarily on the subject of healthy eating habits for kids. Childhood obesity is a very hot topic discussed daily in the news media. We believe that our initial product, Whats in My Food? will attract the attention of parents and early education specialists and will help us enter the competitive market of childrens books and educational materials. Whats in My Food series of books and flash cards address what we believe to be a current gap in health and living section of childrens literature and are designed to teach the kids and their parents how to make good choices for healthy living and interactions with others through stories as seen through the eyes of a child. The book is currently designed to be up to 30 pages long, in paper back and in full color. We believe that a competitive bright styling of the book and other related materials will initially appeal to the kids and attract their interest, and will fit in with the standards of most book stores.
Our second line of products, currently under development, is foreign language learning materials. JJ&R is developing foreign language flash cards, printed on a solid gloss paper stock for the durability and ease of use. Parents and early education professionals will be able to introduce young learners to multiple languages through repetitive use of our flash cards, with each card showing a word in English, Spanish and sign language. Each card will also include a picture to visually connect with the word and help the child hold it in the long term memory bank.
9
Our revenues will be derived from sales of our educational products. We also plan on organizing seminars designed to attract children and their parents and put them in touch with the professionals specializing in the subject matter covered by the seminar. For example, for our Whats in My Food series seminars, we may invite local pediatricians, nutritionists and diet specialists to give lectures to local kids and their parents on the values of good eating. The seminars will be free to the attendants, but fee-based to the presenters since the seminars will be a valuable way for these professionals to attract new clients. JJ&R will be actively marketing its products both to the attendants and the presenters, providing for a good cross-marketing opportunity. However, since we have no experience in seminar organization, our revenues are difficult to predict from period to period. We intend to target preschools, elementary schools, home school groups & after school programs and need to cultivate a significant base of users in order to generate a ratable flow of sales and revenue. We do not believe that any single customer will be our major revenue stream.
Our reputation and positive feedback is dependent on our ability to meet customers expectations and delivering informative and quality materials. It is critical that our quality of product meets customers expectations in order for us to attract repeat business. We intend to demonstrate to our customers that we have quality products and that we keep up with the subjects that are most interesting and current.
The pricing structure of our products may inhibit our ability to be profitable. We have researched the existing market for our products and have made a reasonable estimate with respect to the pricing structure required to attract business. Unfortunately, at this time our management is less experienced in this area than many of our competitors. We may find that while keeping our pricing competitive, we experience more labor hours than our competitors would on a given product, and thus may show less of a profit margin on sales.
Our strategy
Our purpose is to be the leading content developer and distributor of childrens books and learning materials in popular areas possibly underserved by the industry. Customer centricity will be a defining value in everything we do. In order to accomplish our purpose, we have implemented a strategy that includes:
Publishing of our existing book and learning materials Whats in My Food? series and commencing initial
marketing. Once our materials are published we can proceed with the marketing efforts though the self-
publishing group, hands-on presentations to schools and other educational facilities, book signings, and the
companys website.
Improved subject selection and innovation capabilities. Achieving the necessary steps for us to grow may
require significant improvements to our subject selection and innovation structure and external delivery platforms.
Once our core business of product marketing is established, we intend to develop enhanced technology platforms
capable of streaming video, interactive e-learning, distributed e-learning and Web advertising to compliment our
basic paper product sales.
Enhanced core offerings. Our overall brand strategy will be redefined and redirected once new subjects become
dominating in the media. Currently, we believe that weve identified a major subject on the publics mind,
childhood obesity. We believe that as parents strive to keep their children healthy, they will see value in teaching
the kids good eating skills instead of just providing the food. JJ&R looks to address the growing market of health
oriented parents and to maximize marketing effectiveness by publishing and selling childrens books and learning
materials on the subject. Further, we intend to develop new interactive and online distributed content for all
brands.
Increased lifetime customer value. We also intend to continually enhance the customer experience and increase
the lifetime value of each client in order to retain customers, attract new customers and generate additional
revenues. We intend to accomplish this in part by offering additional materials and subjects for the customer to
choose from, thus encouraging the customer to come back to our line of products when looking for good reading
and educational materials for their kids.
10
Marketing strategy
Our sales and marketing efforts are focused on strengthening our name and building our reputation as an innovative and quality provider of childrens books and learning materials. We intend to establish our initial users via existing relationships that we have and will develop with self-publishing marketing companies, local parents, schools, and other early education professionals.
We will submit a link to our website to other websites offering childrens books and learning materials. To improve our chances of attracting repeat customers we are planning on adding new products and coming out with new subjects complimenting our materials.
We believe that initially we will be able to operate at near capacity in the near future from customers that will be referred by our existing contacts.
We believe that our clients will find the values and benefits of our services to be superior to their other options. We plan to provide our customers with:

Expanded channel reach. Through strategic partnerships, alliances and new business models, we may be able to generate new revenues without incurring significant additional marketing or administrative costs. We intend to identify potential partnerships and alliances that can result in increased revenues. We will research underserved market segments and changes in the childrens books market that will provide insights to reach new market segments. We will evaluate complementary business possibilities, including potentially entering whole-sale and commission-based internet marketing venues.
·
We also plan to gradually expand our subject offerings and geographical markets. We are currently developing two core educational subjects and learning programs which we will market nationwide through the Internet, but also locally through hands-on presentations and seminars with our test-market being mainly in Northern California. Our seminar attendants will be initially invited to attend free introductory workshops related to a specific educational subject which can be hosted by our President and CEO, also the book author, or a local pediatrician or nutritionist and held at a local school. The subject, date and location of the training session can be advertised in local newspapers, on our Website, through fliers posted at local schools, and through direct mailings to schools and parents. At the free informational workshop, the attendants may purchase our books and reference materials on the subject discussed, and may elect to receive further information about books and learning materials on other subjects we offer.
Competition
The market for childrens books and learning materials is highly competitive. Additionally, since more and more attention is being brought to the subject of childhood obesity, there have been an increasing number of businesses that cater to the same audience as us. We expect that this will continue to be the trend in this product niche. Some of our competitors include DiscoveryToys®, Kazoo Toys, S&S Educational Toys, Teachme2.com, Joonglee.com, as well as others.
Many of these businesses have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and managerial resources than we do. There are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. While we regard our educational materials, products and future trademarks as proprietary and rely primarily on federal statutory and common law protections to protect our interests in these materials, some of our proprietary materials may contain commonly used terms and do not afford us significant trademark protection that would preclude or inhibit competitors from designing materials with similar features as our products. We expect that we will continue to face additional competition from new entrants into the market in the future.
Our business is in an evolving industry and we may not be able to keep up with the market for our products. If we do not keep pace with changing trends and customer preferences, our current products may become obsolete or unmarketable.

Governmental Regulation
Although we intend to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we are in compliance or that we will be able to comply with all future laws and regulations. Additional federal or state legislation, or changes in regulatory implementation, may limit our activities in the future or significantly increase the cost of regulatory compliance. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, criminal sanctions or civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, or seizures, could be imposed on us. This could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Several proposals have been made at the U.S. state and local level that would impose additional taxes on the sale of goods and services through the Internet. These proposals, if adopted, could substantially impair the growth of e-commerce, and could diminish our opportunity to derive financial benefit from our activities. In December 2004, the U.S. federal government enacted legislation extending the moratorium on states and other local authorities imposing access or discriminatory taxes on the Internet through November 2007. This moratorium does not prohibit federal, state, or local authorities from collecting taxes on our income or from collecting taxes that are due under existing tax rules. In conjunction with the Streamlined Sales Tax Project, the U.S. Congress continues to consider overriding the Supreme Courts Quill decision, which limits the ability of state governments to require sellers outside of their own state to collect and remit sales taxes on goods purchased by in-state residents. An overturning of the Quill decision would harm our users and our business.
Current Status
Our book Whats in My Food is now being edited and revised. The next step will be to illustrate the book and initiate promotional set up. We believe it will take a minimum of six months for publication.
Employees
At the present time Deborah Flores is our only employee as well as our sole officer and director and a major shareholder. Mrs. Flores will devote such time as required to actively market and further develop our services and software products. At present, we expect Mrs. Flores will devote at least 30 hours per week to our business. We expect to contract the services of a web hosting company and use their central server for our web site needs. We do not anticipate hiring any additional employees until such time as additional staff is required to support our operations.
Description of Property
We currently do not maintain a store front or an office and all our operations are conducted from the home office provided by our officer and director Deborah Flores at no cost. We do not have any written agreement regarding our office space. Our address is 251 Jeanell Dr., Suite 3, Carson City, NV 89703. Our telephone number is 831-393-1396. We anticipate this situation will be maintained for at least the next twelve months. The facility meets our current needs, however should we expand in the future, we may have to relocate. If we have to relocate, we will seek office space at or below then prevailing rates.

The registration statement was declared effective on June 27, 2007. The Company closed its offering on January 2, 2008 and had raised a total of $114,550 through the sale of 1,145,500 shares of common stock.
In the past we have relied on advances from our president or shareholders to cover our operating costs. Management anticipates that have sufficient capital to meet our needs through the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our need for capital may change dramatically if we acquire an interest in a business opportunity during that period.
At present, we have no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of any business venture, and there can be no assurance that we will identify a business venture suitable for acquisition in the future. Further, we cannot assure that we will be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that we will be able to profitably manage any business venture we acquire. Should we require additional capital, we may seek additional advances from officers, sell common stock or find other forms of debt financing.
