Gift card liability Second Cup has a gift card program that allows customers to prepay for future purchases by loading a dollar value onto their gift cards through cash or credit/debit cards in the cafés or online through credit cards, when and as needed. The gift card liability represents liabilities related to unused balances on the Second Cup Café Card net of estimated breakage. These balances are included as sales from franchised cafés, or as revenue of Company-operated cafés, at the time the customer redeems the amount in a café for products. The gift cards do not have an expiration date and the Company does not deduct non-usage fees from outstanding gift card balances. When the Company determines the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift cards to a relevant jurisdiction, this amount is recorded as breakage. The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical load and redemption patterns. During 2013, the Company revised its estimated breakage rate from 2% to 3% of gift card sales. Gift card breakage is recognized on a pro rata basis based on historical gift card redemption pattems commenc- ing after a reasonable period from the date of the gift card sale. Breakage is recognized in other operating expenses in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and a portion is allocated to the Co-op Fund.
