FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
We, Famous Daves of America, Inc. (Famous Daves or the Company), were incorporated in Minnesota on March 14, 1994. We develop, own, operate and franchise restaurants under the name Famous Daves. As of July 3, 2011, there were 181 Famous Daves restaurants operating in 37 states, including 52 company-owned restaurants and 129 franchise-operated restaurants. An additional 65 franchise restaurants were committed to be developed through signed area development agreements as of July 3, 2011.
We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules and Regulations. These unaudited financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of Famous Daves and its subsidiaries as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 and for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010. The information furnished in these financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011 as filed with the SEC.
Due to the seasonality of our business, revenue and operating results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current years presentation.
(2) Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS equals net income divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all additional common stock equivalents, such as stock options, when dilutive.
Following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(3) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts Receivable, Net We provide an allowance for uncollectible accounts on accounts receivable based on historical losses and existing economic conditions, when relevant. We provide for a general bad debt reserve for franchise receivables due to increases in days sales outstanding and deterioration in general economic market conditions. This general reserve is based on the aging of receivables meeting specified criteria and is adjusted each quarter based on past due receivable balances. Additionally, we have periodically established a specific reserve on certain receivables as necessary. Any changes to the reserve are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was approximately $59,000 and $80,000 at July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, respectively. Accounts receivable are written off when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable balances written off have not exceeded allowances provided. We believe all accounts receivable in excess of the allowance are fully collectible. If accounts receivable in excess of provided allowances are determined uncollectible, they are charged to expense in the period that determination is made. Outstanding past due accounts receivable are subject to a monthly interest charge on unpaid balances which is recorded as interest income in our consolidated statements of operations. In assessing recoverability of these receivables, we make judgments regarding the financial condition of the franchisees based primarily on past and current payment trends, as well as other variables, including annual financial information, which the franchisees are required to submit to us, as well as other variances.
(4) Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund and Restricted Cash
We have a system-wide Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund, to which company-owned restaurants, in addition to franchise-operated restaurants on which franchise agreements were signed after December 17, 2003, are required to contribute a percentage of net sales, currently 0.75%, for use in public relations and marketing development efforts throughout the system. The assets held by this fund are considered restricted. Accordingly, we reflect the cash related to this fund in restricted cash and reflect the liability in accounts payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011. As of July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, we had approximately $213,000 and $94,000 in this fund, respectively.
(5) Credit Facility, Long-Term Debt and Debt Covenants
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively known as the Borrower) currently have a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the Lender). The Credit Agreement was amended on July 5, 2011 and will expire on July 5, 2016, and contains a $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the Facility) with an opportunity, subject to the Company meeting identified covenants and elections, to increase the commitment to $50.0 million, and a term loan (the Term Loan).
Principal amounts outstanding under the Facility bear interest either at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or at a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined in the agreement as the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (0.25% at July 3, 2011) plus 0.75% or Wells Fargos prime rate (3.25% at July 3, 2011). The applicable margin will depend on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of the previous quarter and will range from 1.50% to 2.25% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and from -0.00% to +0.75% for Base Rate Loans. Unused portions of the Facility will be subject to an unused Facility fee which will be equal to either 0.25% or 0.375% of the unused portion, depending on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio. Our rate for the unused portion of the Facility as of July 3, 2011, was 0.375%. An increase option exercise fee will apply to increased amounts between $30.0 and $50.0 million. Our current weighted average interest rate for the credit facility for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was 2.75%.

Table of Contents
FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Borrower with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates of the Borrower, among others. The Facility also includes various financial covenants that have maximum target capital expenditures, cash flow ratios, and adjusted leverage ratios. If the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, an additional covenant applies that limits the maximum royalty receivable aged past 30 days. In addition, capital expenditure limits include permitted stock repurchase limits (limited to $10.0 million in aggregate during any 12 month period, and $30.0 million in aggregate during the term of the agreement) beginning with the recent amendment of July 5, 2011.
The July amendment to the Credit Agreement accelerated the maturity date of the Term loan, which now matures on July 5, 2016. Principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan bear interest at the same rate as the Facility. The weighted average interest rate of the Term Loan for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was 2.70%. As required by the July Credit Agreement amendment, the Company is now required to make minimum annual amortization payments of 10.0% of the principal balance of the Term Loan.
The Credit Agreement currently provides for up to $3.0 million in letters of credit to be used by the Company, with any amounts outstanding reducing our availability for general corporate purchases, and also allows for the termination of the Facility by the Borrower without penalty at any time. At July 3, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the Facility and the Term Loan was $10.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and we had approximately $779,000 in letters of credit for real estate locations. We were in compliance with all covenants as of July 3, 2011.
We expect to use any borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general working capital purchases as needed. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has granted the Lender a security interest in all current and future personal property of the Borrower.

Performance Shares
As of July 3, 2011, we had three performance share programs in progress. All of these performance share awards qualify for equity-based treatment as required under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Stock Compensation. Accordingly, we recognize compensation cost for these share-based awards based on their fair value, which is the closing stock price at the date of grant over the requisite service period (i.e. fixed treatment). Participants in each performance share program are entitled to receive a specified number of shares of the common stock (Performance Shares) based upon our achieving a specified percentage of the cumulative total of the earnings per share goals established by our compensation committee for each fiscal year within a three-year performance period (the Cumulative EPS Goal). In the second and third year of any performance share program, the estimated attainment percentage is based on the forecasted earnings per share for that program. For the 2009 and 2010 programs, the attainment percentages were estimated at 100.0%. In the first year of any program, we estimate the attainment rate to be 100.0%. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Stock Compensation, we have recorded compensation net of the estimated non-attainment rates. We will continue to evaluate the need to adjust the attainment percentages in future periods.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we issued 24,632 shares upon satisfaction of conditions under the

2008 performance share program, representing the achievement of approximately 91.2% of the target payout for this program. Recipients elected to forfeit 8,412 of those shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations, resulting in a net issuance of 16,220 shares.
For each of the three programs currently in progress, if the Company achieves at least 80% of the Cumulative EPS Goal, then each recipient will be entitled to receive a percentage of the Target number of Performance Shares granted that is equal to the percentage of the Cumulative EPS Goal achieved, up to 100%. The maximum share payout a recipient will be entitled to receive is 100% of the Target number of Performance Shares granted if the Cumulative EPS Goal is met.
At July 3, 2011, the following performance share programs were in progress:

Board of Directors Compensation
We compensate our independent board members with cash, and are expensing it over the term of their previous board service from May 2010 to April 2011 and their current board service from May 2011 to April 2012. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, total cash compensation expense for our board was approximately $100,000 related to board service from April June. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, there was approximately $16,000 of stock-based compensation expense for the one-time grants for Lisa A. Kro and Wallace B. Doolin. In total, board of director cash compensation and stock-based compensation expense for the board of directors during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $116,000.
For the six months ended July 3, 2011, total cash compensation expense for our board was approximately $196,000 related to board service January June. Additionally, during the same time period, there was approximately $32,000 of stock-based compensation expense for one-time grants of restricted stock previously awarded to Lisa A. Kro and Wallace B. Doolin. In total, board of director cash compensation and stock-based compensation expense for the board of directors during the six months ended of fiscal 2011 was approximately $228,000.
On May 5, 2009 and September 29, 2009 one-time 25,000 share restricted stock grants were issued to Lisa A. Kro and Wallace B.

Common Share Repurchases
On November 4, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of our common stock in both the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. During the first six months of fiscal 2011, we repurchased 259,509 shares, under this program for approximately $2.7 million at an average market price per share of $10.26, excluding commissions. Since the program was authorized in November 2010, we have repurchased 433,609 shares for approximately $4.5 million at an average market price per share of $10.28, excluding commissions.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which gives eligible employees the option to purchase Common Stock (total purchases in a year may not exceed 10 percent of an employees current year compensation) at 100 percent of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the end of each calendar quarter. There were approximately 1,291 and 1,718 shares purchased, respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $9.98 and $8.00 during the second quarter of 2011 and second quarter of 2010, respectively. For the six months

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, there were approximately 2,439 shares and 3,188 shares purchased, respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $9.89 and $8.18, respectively. For the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 the Company recognized no expense related to the stock purchase plan due to it being non-compensatory as defined by IRS Section 423.
(9) Retirement Savings Plans
401(k) Plan
We have a pre-tax salary reduction/profit-sharing plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. In fiscal 2011, we will match 25.0%, and in fiscal 2010, we matched 25.0%, of the employees contribution up to 4.0% of their earnings. Employee contributions were approximately $127,000 and $124,000 for the second quarter of fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. The employer match was $19,000 for the second quarter of fiscal years 2011 and 2010. For the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, eligible participants contributed approximately $293,000 and $286,000, respectively, to the plan and the Company provided matching funds of approximately $43,000 and $44,000, respectively. There were discretionary contributions to the Plan of $10,000 and $11,000, respectively, during the first six months of fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective as of February 25, 2005 (the Deferred Compensation Plan). Eligible participants are those employees who are at the director level and above and who are selected by the Company to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants must complete a deferral election each year to indicate the level of compensation (salary, bonus and commissions) they wish to have deferred for the coming year. This deferral election is irrevocable except to the extent permitted by the Deferred Compensation Plan Administrator, and the Regulations promulgated by the IRS. During fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, we are matching 25% of the first 4.0% contributed and paying a declared interest rate of 6.0% on balances outstanding. The Board of Directors administers the Deferred Compensation Plan and may change the rate or any other aspects of the Deferred Compensation Plan at any time.
Deferral periods are limited to the earlier of termination of employment or not less than three calendar years following the end of the applicable plan year. Extensions of the deferral period for a minimum of five years are allowed provided an election for extension is made at least one year before the first payment affected by the change. Payments can be in a lump sum or in equal payments over a two-, five- or ten-year period, plus interest from the commencement date.
The Deferred Compensation Plan assets are kept in an unsecured account that has no trust fund. In the event of bankruptcy, participants entitled to future payments under the Deferred Compensation Plan would have no greater rights than that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company and the Deferred Compensation Plan confers no legal rights for interest or claim on any specific assets of the Company. Benefits provided by the Deferred Compensation Plan are not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), because the pension insurance provisions of ERISA do not apply to the Deferred Compensation Plan.
For the quarter ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, eligible participants contributed approximately $27,000 and $18,000 to the Deferred Compensation Plan, respectively, and the Company provided matching funds and interest of approximately $16,000 and $12,000, respectively. For the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, eligible participants contributed approximately $74,000 and $44,000, respectively, to the Deferred Compensation Plan and the Company provided matching funds and interest of approximately $32,000 and $28,000, respectively.

(10) Asset Impairment and Estimated Lease Termination and Other Closing Costs
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Property, Plant, and Equipment, we evaluate restaurant sites and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of restaurant sites to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the restaurant site to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis. If a restaurant is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the restaurant site exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the best information available including estimated future cash flows, expected growth rates in comparable restaurant sales, remaining lease terms and other factors. If these assumptions change in the future, we may be required to take additional impairment charges for the related assets. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Restaurant sites that are operating but have been previously impaired are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Following is a summary of these events during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

operating cash flows of the restaurants over their remaining service life using a discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model, which reflects our own judgment. According to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the fair value was determined by using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and was approximately $179,000.
(12) Acquisition of Seven Restaurants in New York and New Jersey
On March 3, 2010, the Company purchased the assets of seven of nine Famous Daves restaurants located in New York and New Jersey previously owned and operated by a Famous Daves franchisee, North Country BBQ Ventures, Inc. Famous Daves of America, Inc. continues to operate the restaurants. Of the two restaurants that were not acquired; one was subsequently closed and the other was purchased out of bankruptcy by another buyer who assumed the existing franchise agreement.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the results of operations of the Company assuming the acquisition of the seven restaurants described above occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2010 as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Business Combinations. Pro forma results were based on the previous owners unaudited financial statement which is permitted under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for business that did not meet the significant subsidiary criteria. These results were then adjusted for the impact of certain acquisition-related items, such as: additional amortization of identified intangible assets, additional depreciation expense of property and equipment recorded at fair value, increased interest expense on acquisition debt, inclusion of transaction-related charges and related income tax effects.
The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2010, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
OVERVIEW
Famous Daves of America, Inc. was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in March 1994 and opened its first restaurant in Minneapolis in June 1995. As of July 3, 2011, there were 181 Famous Daves restaurants operating in 37 states, including 52 company-owned restaurants and 129 franchise-operated restaurants. An additional 65 franchise restaurants were in various stages of development as of July 3, 2011.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31st. Our fiscal year is generally 52 weeks; however, it periodically consists of 53 weeks. The fiscal years ending January 1, 2012 (fiscal 2011) and January 2, 2011 (fiscal 2010) are both 52 week fiscal years.
Revenue
Our revenue consists of restaurant sales, franchise-related revenue, and licensing and other revenue. Our franchise-related revenue is comprised of area development fees, initial franchise fees, and continuing royalty payments. Our area development fee consists of a one-time, non-refundable payment equal to $10,000 per restaurant in consideration for the services we perform in preparation of executing each area development agreement. Substantially all of these services, which include but are not limited to conducting market and trade area analysis, a meeting with Famous Daves Executive Team, and performing potential franchise background investigation, are completed prior to our execution of the area development agreement and receipt of the corresponding area development fee. As a result, we recognize this fee in full upon receipt. Our initial, non-refundable, franchise fee typically ranges from $30,000 to $40,000 per restaurant, of which $5,000 is recognized immediately when a franchise agreement is signed, reflecting the commission earned and expenses incurred related to the sale. The remaining non-refundable fee of $25,000 to $35,000 is included in deferred franchise fees and is recognized as revenue when we have performed substantially all of our obligations, which generally occurs upon the franchise entering into a lease agreement for the restaurant(s). The franchise agreement represents a separate and distinct earnings process from the area development agreements. Franchisees are also required to pay us a monthly royalty equal to a percentage of their net sales, which has historically varied from 4% to 5%. In general, new franchises pay us a monthly royalty of 5% of their net sales.
Because of the continuing difficult economic environment and scarcity of capital for development, we offered a reduced royalty rate for twelve months from date of opening for franchisees that opened restaurants during 2010 and 2009. We have modified and extended this growth incentive program for fiscal 2011. The modification offers new and existing franchisees reduced levels of franchise royalties, based on a sliding scale, for new restaurants opened during 2011. All franchise restaurants opened in the first and second quarters will pay a reduced royalty of 2.5% and 3%, respectively, for the remainder of 2011. Opening in the third quarter qualifies for a reduced royalty of 4% for the remainder of 2011. Any openings in the fourth quarter and beyond would be at the 5% royalty rate.
Costs and Expenses
Restaurant costs and expenses include food and beverage costs, labor and benefits costs, operating expenses which include occupancy costs, repair and maintenance costs, supplies, advertising and promotion, and restaurant depreciation and amortization. Certain of these costs and expenses are variable and will increase or decrease with sales volume. The primary fixed costs are corporate and restaurant management salaries and occupancy costs. Our experience is that when a new restaurant opens, it incurs higher than normal levels of labor and food costs until operations stabilize, usually during the first three to four months of operation. As restaurant management and staff gain experience following a restaurants opening, labor scheduling, food cost management and operating expense control typically improve to levels similar to those at our more established restaurants.

FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include all corporate and administrative functions that provide an infrastructure to support existing operations and support future growth. Salaries, bonuses, team member benefits, legal fees, accounting fees, consulting fees, travel, rent and general insurance are major items in this category. Additionally, we record expense for Managers In Training (MITs) in this category for approximately six weeks prior to a restaurant opening. We also provide franchise services for which the revenue is included in other revenue and the expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.

The Rib Team netted a loss of $30,000 and $34,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, respectively. Our Rib Team travels around the country introducing people to our brand of barbeque, building brand awareness. |
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011.
Results of Operations Three and six months ended July 3, 2011 compared to three and six months ended July 4, 2010.
Total Revenue
Total revenue of approximately $41.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased approximately $541,000, or 1.3%, from total revenue of $40.7 million in the comparable quarter in fiscal 2010. For the six months ended July 3, 2011, total revenue of approximately $78.4 million increased approximately $5.0 million, or 6.9% over revenue of approximately $73.3 million, for the six months ended July 4, 2010.

Restaurant Sales, net
Restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were approximately $36.5 million, compared to approximately $36.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2010, reflecting a 0.8% increase. Restaurant sales for the six months ended July 3, 2011 were approximately $69.2 million compared to approximately $64.6 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010, reflecting a 7.2% increase.
Our restaurant sales for the second quarter of 2011 reflect the addition of our Bel Air, Maryland location, which opened in August of 2010, partially offset by a comparable sales decrease of 1.2%. The decrease in comparable sales reflected a negative impact equal to approximately 90 basis points primarily from the year over year shift in the Easter holiday, from first quarter 2010 to second quarter 2011, and a one day shift of the 4th of July holiday from second quarter in 2010 to third quarter in 2011. Additionally, comparable sales for the second quarter of 2011 included a weighted average price increase of approximately 2.0%. Of the 1.2% second quarter comparable sales decline, on a weighted basis, dine-in represented 1.7%. This decline was partially offset by increased off premise sales of 0.5%. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, off-premise sales were 32.5% of total sales, with catering representing 10.9% and To-Go representing 21.6%. This compares to off-premise sales of 32.0% for the prior years second quarter.
Franchise-Related Revenue
Franchise-related revenue consists of royalty revenue and franchise fees, which include initial franchise fees and area development fees. Franchise-related revenue was approximately $4.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, franchise royalties increased by approximately 4.0%, reflecting a net four additional franchise restaurants year over year, partially offset by a comparable sales decline of 1.6%. Nine new franchise-operated restaurants opened since the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and five restaurants closed. There were 129 franchise-operated restaurants open at July 3, 2011 compared to 125 franchise-operated restaurants open at July 4, 2010.
Franchise-related revenue was approximately $8.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011 compared to approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended July 4, 2010, primarily reflecting a year-over-year increase in royalty revenue of 2.6% for the six month timeframe.
Licensing and Other Revenue
Licensing revenue includes royalties from a retail line of business, including sauces, rubs, marinades and seasonings. Other revenue includes opening assistance and training we provide to our franchise partners. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the licensing royalty revenue was approximately $250,000 compared to approximately $235,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2010. Licensing royalty revenue was approximately $424,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2011 as compared to $377,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2010.
Other revenue for the fiscal 2011 second quarter was approximately $25,000 compared to $37,000 for the comparable prior year quarter. Other revenue for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was approximately $131,000 compared to approximately $79,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2010.
Same Store Net Sales
It is our policy to include in our same store net sales base, restaurants that are open year round and have been open at least 24 months. Same store net sales for company-owned restaurants for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased 1.2%, compared to fiscal 2010s second quarter increase of 0.6%. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and the second quarter of fiscal 2010, there were 51 and 42 restaurants, respectively, included in this base. Same store net sales for company-owned restaurants open at least 24 months for the six

months ended July 3, 2011 increased 0.9%, compared to fiscal 2010s six months ended July 4, 2010 decrease of 1.4%. For the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, there were 44 and 41 restaurants, respectively, included in the company-owned comparable sales base.
Same store net sales for franchise-operated restaurants for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased 1.6%, compared to a decrease of 0.6% for the prior year comparable period. For the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010, there were 107 and 99 restaurants, respectively, included in the franchise-operated comparable sales base.
Same store net sales on a 24 month basis for franchise-operated restaurants for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 decreased 0.7% and 1.7%, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, there were 103 and 96 restaurants, respectively, included in the franchise-operated 24 month comparable sales base.

Food and Beverage Costs
Food and beverage costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were approximately $10.6 million or 29.1% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $10.6 million or 29.3% of net restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As a percentage of dine-in sales, our adult beverage sales at our company-owned restaurants were 8.7% and 8.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.
- 19 -
Table of Contents
FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Food and beverage costs for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were approximately $20.3 million or 29.3% of net restaurant sales compared to approximately $18.9 million or 29.3% of net restaurant sales for the comparable period of fiscal 2010.
Approximately 85% of our food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases are on contract. Pork, chicken, and brisket represent approximately 53% of our total purchases. We are protected on our pork contract throughout 2011, which equates to an approximate 2.3% increase over 2010s pricing. Similar to 2010s strategy, we are evaluating an option to extend our contract and blend in a price increase this year in an effort to minimize expected cost increases in fiscal 2012. We will make a final determination on this extension during the third quarter. Our chicken contracts are firm through the remainder of 2011 at a price increase of approximately 4.9% over fiscal 2010. Our brisket contract extends through December of 2011 at a net cost increase of 4.9% from fiscal 2010s pricing. We continue to execute shorter term contracts until we can lock in an acceptable longer-term price. Lastly, we anticipate an approximate 1.4% year over year increase for the remainder of our contracts, which includes hamburger, seafood, and other key items, such as, our sauces, seasonings, cooking oil, and corn muffin mix.
All combined for fiscal 2011, we are currently anticipating an approximate 2.6% increase in total food costs. The Company has several initiatives to combat these cost increases, such as, continued optimization of our freight distribution network. Additionally, we are taking advantage of early-pay discounts with our food distributor and have continued to aggressively manage our secondary supplier program for key items on our menu. Finally, we took price of 1% in January and in mid-August our new menu will reflect an additional 2.0% price increase on selected items.
Due to the current and expected price increases in the commodity markets, partially offset by the cost savings initiatives mentioned above, we are updating our previous guidance and now anticipate an approximate 25 30 basis point decrease in our food and beverage costs, as a percent of net sales, year over year.
Labor and Benefits Costs
Labor and benefits costs for the second quarter ended July 3, 2011 were approximately $11.1 million or 30.5% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $11.0 million or 30.4% of net restaurant sales for the three months ended July 4, 2010. Labor and benefits for the six months ended July 3, 2011 were approximately $21.6 million or 31.1% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $20.3 million or 31.4% of net restaurant sales for the six months ended July 4, 2010.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, labor and benefits costs as a percentage of net restaurant sales, were 10 basis points unfavorable to the prior year. This increase is due to higher direct labor costs and increased manager labor due to operating at our full manager matrix. These increases were partially offset by lower employee benefit costs, year over year. We are affirming our previous guidance and still expect labor and benefits costs as a percentage of restaurant sales to be approximately 15 20 basis points higher than fiscal 2010s percentage.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were approximately $10.0 million or 27.3% of net restaurant sales, compared to operating expenses of approximately $9.6 million or 26.6% of net restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Operating expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2011 were approximately $19.0 million or 27.5% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $17.2 million or 26.7% of net restaurant sales for the six months ended July 4, 2010.
This year over year increase was primarily related to higher supply and utility costs. Additionally, we have realized higher credit card processing costs due to increased interchange fees. Advertising expense is still expected to be approximately 3.5% of net sales for 2011, including a 0.75% contribution to the National Ad Fund.

FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
We are updating our previous guidance and now anticipate operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales for the full 2011 fiscal year to be approximately 45 50 basis points higher than during fiscal 2010s, when operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 27.5%. This increase is due to continued pressure from utility costs and credit card fees, in addition to a loss of leverage from second quarter restaurant sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2011 was approximately $1.4 million or 3.3% of total revenue compared to $1.4 million, or 3.4% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 was approximately $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and was 3.5% and 3.6%, respectively, of total revenue.
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses consist of labor, food, utilities, training and rent costs incurred prior to the opening of a restaurant. Included in pre-opening costs is pre-opening rent for approximately 16 weeks prior to opening but this will vary based on lease terms. During the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, we had $45,000 and $54,000, respectively, of pre-opening expenses consisting of pre-opening rent and other pre-opening expenses. During the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, we had $45,000 and $81,000, respectively.
We will be opening two company-owned restaurants in fiscal 2011, Falls Church, Virginia and Eden Prairie, Minnesota, in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. We now anticipate pre-opening expenses for 2011 to be approximately $567,000, including pre-opening rent, for the two restaurants and an-as-yet to be determined company-owned restaurant opening in early 2012.
Asset Impairment and Estimated Lease Termination and Other Closing Costs
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Property, Plant, and Equipment, we evaluate restaurant sites and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of restaurant sites to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the restaurant site to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis. If a restaurant is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the restaurant assets exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the best information available including estimated future cash flows, expected growth rates in comparable restaurant sales, remaining lease terms and other factors. If these assumptions change in the future, we may be required to take additional impairment charges for the related assets. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Restaurant sites that are operating but have been previously impaired are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Following is a summary of these events during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were approximately $4.2 million or 10.2% of total revenue, compared to approximately $3.9 million or 9.6% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. This year over year increase was anticipated, and was due to additional head count deemed necessary to support our guest experience initiatives and our franchise system. General and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue, excluding bonus, stock-based compensation, and board of directors cash compensation, were 9.1% for the second quarter of 2011 and 8.8% for the second quarter of 2010, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2011, respectively, were approximately $8.5 million or 10.9% of total revenue compared to approximately $7.7 million or 10.5% of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2010.
For the second quarter, board of director cash and stock-based compensation expense was $423,000 compared to stock-based compensation expense of $340,000 for the second quarter of 2010. This year over year change reflects a higher stock price in 2011. We are expecting stock-based and board of director cash compensation to be approximately $1.7 million in fiscal 2011, as follows (in thousands):

Interest Expense
Interest expense was approximately $281,000 or 0.7% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to approximately $262,000 or 0.6% of total revenue for the comparable time frame of fiscal 2010. This category includes interest expense for notes payable, financing lease obligations, our line of credit, and a company match and interest for deferrals made under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
Interest expense was approximately $560,000 or 0.7% of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and approximately $562,000 or 0.8% of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2010. We now expect interest expense, as a percent of total revenue, to be favorable, by 5 10 basis points to fiscal 2010s percentage, due to lower debt levels partially offset by slightly higher interest rates.
Interest Income
Interest income was approximately $7,000 and $20,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. Interest income was approximately $13,000 and $59,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. Interest income reflects interest received on short-term cash and cash equivalent balances.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the second quarter of 2011, we recorded an estimated provision for income taxes of approximately $1.2 million or 34.0% of income before income taxes, compared to a tax provision of approximately $1.3 million or 34.7% of income before income taxes, for the second quarter of 2010. We estimate an effective tax rate of approximately 34.0% for fiscal 2011. For the six months ended July 3, 2011, our tax provision was approximately $1.8 million, or 34.0% of income before income taxes, compared to the prior year comparable period of approximately $2.8 million, or 34.5% of income before income taxes.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share
Net income for the three months ended July 3, 2011 was approximately $2.4 million, or $0.30 per basic share and $0.29 per diluted share on approximately 8,012,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding and 8,183,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Net income for the three months ended July 4, 2010 was approximately $2.5 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share on approximately 8,649,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding and 8,810,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, respectively.
Net income for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was approximately $3.6 million, or $0.44 per basic share and $0.43 per diluted share on approximately 8,065,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding and approximately 8,243,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Net income for the six months ended July 4, 2010 was approximately $5.2 million, or $0.59 per basic share and $0.58 per diluted share on approximately 8,824,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding and approximately 8,986,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was approximately $2.3 million at July 3, 2011 and approximately $2.7 million at January 2, 2011.
Our current ratio, which measures our immediate short-term liquidity, was 0.82 at July 3, 2011 and 0.81 at January 2, 2011. The current ratio is computed by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. The change in our ratio was primarily due to increases in our prepaid expenses relating to our estimated income tax

payments made during the quarter. As is true with most restaurant companies, we often operate in a negative working capital environment due to the fact that we receive cash up front from customers and then pay our vendors on a delayed basis.
Net cash provided by operating activities through the second quarter of 2011 was approximately $6.5 million and reflects net income of approximately $3.6 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.8 million, stock-based compensation of $649,000, and an increase in accounts payable of $684,000. These net increases were partially offset by an approximate $578,000 decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $532,000 decrease in accrued compensation and benefits.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 4, 2010 was approximately $6.4 million. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net income of approximately $5.2 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.7 million, stock-based compensation of $632,000, an increase in deferred taxes of approximately $764,000 and an increase in other current liabilities of $781,000. These net increases were partially offset by an approximate $2.3 million gain on the acquisition of seven restaurants and an approximate $733,000 decrease in accrued compensation and benefits.
Net cash used for investing activities was approximately $1.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and $8.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, we used approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on capital expenditures for our existing restaurants and for other infrastructure projects. Additionally, we used approximately $6.8 million for the acquisition of seven restaurants in New York and New Jersey.
We still expect total 2011 capital expenditures to be approximately $5.5 million, reflecting continued investments in our existing restaurants, including several significant remodeling projects, as well as, the conversion costs for two new company-owned restaurants, and continued investments in corporate infrastructure systems.
Net cash used for financing activities was approximately $5.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $727,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2010. During the first six months of 2011, we had draws of $13.8 million on our line of credit and had repayments of $16.4 million. During the six months of 2011, we also used approximately $2.7 million to repurchase 259,509 shares at an average price of $10.26, excluding commissions, under our current share repurchase program. During the six months ended July 4, 2010, we had draws of $8.5 million on our line of credit and had repayments of $9.5 million. In addition, we borrowed $6.8 million of long-term debt to finance the acquisition of the New York and New Jersey restaurants. During the six months of 2010, we also used approximately $4.9 million to repurchase approximately 654,000 shares at an average price of $7.51, excluding commissions under our previous share repurchase program.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively known as the Borrower) currently have a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the Lender). The Credit Agreement was amended on July 5, 2011 and will expire on July 5, 2016, and contains a $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the Facility) with an opportunity, subject to the Company meeting identified covenants and elections, to increase the commitment to $50.0 million, and a term loan (the Term Loan).
Principal amounts outstanding under the Facility bear interest either at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or at a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined in the agreement as the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (0.25% at July 3, 2011) plus 0.75% or Wells Fargos prime rate (3.25% at July 3, 2011). The applicable margin will depend on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of the previous quarter and will range from 1.50% to 2.25% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and from -0.00% to +0.75% for Base Rate Loans. Unused portions of the Facility will be subject to an unused Facility fee which will
- 24 -
Table of Contents
FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
be equal to either 0.25% or 0.375% of the unused portion, depending on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio. Our rate for the unused portion of the Facility as of July 3, 2011, was 0.375%. An increase option exercise fee will apply to increased amounts between $30.0 and $50.0 million. Our current weighted average interest rate for the credit facility for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was 2.75%.
The Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Borrower with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates of the Borrower, among others. The Facility also includes various financial covenants that have maximum target capital expenditures, cash flow ratios, and adjusted leverage ratios. If the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, an additional covenant applies that limits the maximum royalty receivable aged past 30 days. In addition, capital expenditure limits include permitted stock repurchase limits (limited to $10.0 million in aggregate during any 12 month period, and $30.0 million in aggregate during the term of the agreement) beginning with the recent amendment of July 5, 2011.
The July amendment to the Credit Agreement accelerated the maturity date of the Term loan, which now matures on July 5, 2016. Principal amounts outstanding under the Term loan bear interest at the same rate as the Facility. The weighted average interest rate of the Term Loan for the six months ended July 3, 2011 was 2.70%. As required by the July Credit Agreement amendment, the Company is now required to make minimum annual amortization payments of 10.0% of the principal balance of the Term Loan.
The Credit Agreement currently provides for up to $3.0 million in letters of credit to be used by the Company, with any amounts outstanding reducing our availability for general corporate purchases, and also allows for the termination of the Facility by the Borrower without penalty at any time. At July 3, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the Facility and the Term Loan was $10.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and we had approximately $779,000 in letters of credit for real estate locations. We were in compliance with all covenants as of July 3, 2011.
We expect to use any borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general working capital purchases as needed. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has granted the Lender a security interest in all current and future personal property of the Borrower.
Contractual Obligations
Primarily, as a result of the recent amendment to our Credit Agreement, we have included the following updated Contractual Obligations Table in this Form 10-Q. This table reflects the extension of the Facility to July 5, 2016 and the accelerated amortization and change in the due date of the Term Loan to July 5, 2016.

Forward-Looking Information
Famous Daves makes written and oral statements from time to time, including statements contained in this Form 10-Q regarding its business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of managements plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases will likely result, anticipates, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, estimates, projects, believes, expects, intends, target, goal, plans, objective, should or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, written or oral presentations made by our officers or other representatives to analysts, shareholders, investors, news organizations, and others, and discussions with our management and other Company representatives. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. We do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement which may be made by us or on our behalf.
In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be made by us or on our behalf.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt. Our Company includes as unrestriced cash and cash equivalents investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Our Companys unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the short maturities of these instruments. We have no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments in our cash and cash equivalents. Our total outstanding long-term debt as of July 3, 2011 was approximately $20.6 million, including our line of credit, our term loan with Wells Fargo and financing lease obligations. The terms of our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender are discussed above under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Some of the food products purchased by us are affected by commodity pricing and are, therefore, subject to price volatility caused by weather, production problems, delivery difficulties and other factors that are outside our control. To control this risk in part, we have fixed-priced purchase commitments for food from vendors. In addition, we believe that substantially all of our food is available from several sources, which helps to control food commodity risks. We have secondary source suppliers for certain items and in 2011 we have continued to make this a key area of focus in order to protect the supply chain and to ensure a more fair and competitive pricing environment. We believe we have the ability to increase menu prices, or vary the menu options offered, if needed, in response to a food product price increase.
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period coverage by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
