NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2010
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
EACO Corporation (hereinafter alternatively referred to as EACO, the Company, we, us, and
our) was organized under the laws of the State of Florida in September l985. From the inception
of the Company through June 2005, the Companys business consisted of operating restaurants in the
State of Florida. On June 29, 2005, the Company sold all of its operating restaurants (the Asset
Sale) including sixteen restaurant businesses, premises, equipment and other assets used in
restaurant operations. The Asset Sale was made pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
February 22, 2005. The only remaining activity of the restaurant operations relates to the
workers compensation claim liability, which is presented as liabilities of discontinued operations
on the Companys balance sheets. The Companys continuing operations principally consist of
managing four rental properties held for investment located in Florida and California.
EACO filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Florida, effective March 23, 2010 (the Effective Time), to effect a 1-for-25 reverse split of
its outstanding common stock (the Reverse Split). As of the Effective Time, each outstanding
share of EACO common stock automatically converted into four one-hundredth (0.04) of a share of
common stock. Unless otherwise noted, the number of common shares and per share calculations in
this quarterly report reflect the effect of the reverse split. See Note 8, Subsequent Events, for
further discussion.
Fiscal Year
On September 29, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Companys fiscal year end to
August 31. Prior to that, the fiscal year was the fifty-two or fifty-three week period ending on
the Wednesday nearest to December 31. The Company reported the decision to change its fiscal year
end to August 31 in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
October 5, 2009 and filed its transition report on Form 10-K for the eight month transition period
ended August 31, 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include collectability of rent receivables,
impairment evaluation of properties, workers compensation liability, the depreciable lives of
assets and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations
have been included.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for
presentation of interim financial information. Therefore, the condensed interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Transition Report
F-6
Table of Contents
on Form 10-K for the eight month period ended August 31, 2009. Amounts related to disclosure of
August 31, 2009 balances within these condensed financial statements were derived from the audited
financial statements as of August 31, 2009.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASC) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the
requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated
in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial
statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of
U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an
entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were
issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or
available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the
SECs literature. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010)
except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for
interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Accounting Standards Update ASC No. 2009-01, Amendments based on Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the Codification). The Codification became the single
source of authoritative GAAP in the United States, other than rules and interpretive releases
issued by the SEC. The Codification reorganized GAAP into a topical format that eliminates the
previous GAAP hierarchy and instead established two levels of guidance authoritative and
nonauthoritative. All non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature that was not included in the
Codification became nonauthoritative. The adoption of the Codification did not change previous
GAAP, but rather simplified user access to all authoritative literature related to a particular
accounting topic in one place. Accordingly, the adoption had no impact on the companys financial
position and results of operations. All prior references to previous GAAP in the companys
consolidated financial statements were updated for the new references under the Codification.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (previously SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)). This
guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional guidance to companies
involved with variable interest entities (VIEs) and by requiring additional disclosures about a
companys involvement in variable interest entities. This guidance is generally effective for
annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual
reporting period. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial statements when
implemented.
Note 3. Real Estate Properties
In May 2009, the Company was sued by the landlord of the Deland Property. In the suit, the
landlord claimed damages related to the capital lease for rent not paid by the Company, plus
penalties and interest. On July 31, 2009, the landlord and the Company agreed to a settlement on
the Deland Property and the related capital lease. For a total sum of $2,123,000 and payment of
$22,500 in closing costs the landlord agreed to sell the Deland Property to the Company and release
the Company from any further obligations under the lease. The agreement required a non-refundable
deposit of $200,000 to be paid five days after the signing of the agreement, with the remaining
$1,945,500 due sixty days after the signing of the agreement. The purchase of the property was
completed on September 29, 2009. Payments related to both the $200,000 deposit and final
$1,945,500 payment were borrowed by the Company from Bisco Industries (Bisco), an affiliated
entity wholly owned by the Companys majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, Glenn F.
Ceiley, (CEO), under separate note agreements. The notes accrue interest at 7.5% per annum and
are due in April 2010 and June 2010.
The settlement resulted in the extinguishments of the capital lease obligation of approximately
$1,561,500 and the liability for past due rents of $232,700, and the difference between the
settlement amount and the amounts paid on the liabilities noted above was capitalized as additional
Deland property value in the amount of $351,300. Of the $351,300, $193,200 was allocated to
building and $158,100 was allocated to the land.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
During the six months ended February 28, 2010, the Company received bridge loans from Bisco in the
amount of $2,423,000 and the Company accrued interest on these bridge loans of approximately
$168,600, respectively. The balance of the bridge loans was approximately $5,152,400 and
$2,560,800 as of February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively. Biscos sole shareholder and
President is Glen F. Ceiley, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, majority shareholder and
Chairman of the Board. The bridge loans do not provide for regularly scheduled payments; however,
any remaining outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 7.5% is due
six months from the date of each note. The loans have been extended by the Company beyond six
months and are due between April 2010 and June 2010.
As of February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, interest accrued on the outstanding bridge loans was
$220,700 and $52,100 and is presented as a component of due to related party on the accompanying
condensed balance sheets.
The Company currently has a management agreement with Bisco, which provides administration and
accounting services. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2010, the Company incurred
approximately $38,600, and $75,400, respectively, for those services. During the three and six
months ended February 28, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $15,200 and $42,500,
respectively, for those services. Such amounts are included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying statements of operations. The amounts due to Bisco for these services and
others at February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009 were $302,500 and $162,700, respectively, and are
included in due to related party in the accompanying balance sheets.
Note 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The following is a quarterly reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations for net loss from continuing operations

For the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, there were 40,000 and 41,000,
respectively, potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding stock options and convertible
preferred stock that have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per common share
due to their anti-dilutive effect and therefore the weighted average basic and diluted common
shares outstanding are the same..
Note 6. Liabilities of Discontinued Operations
The liabilities of discontinued operations consist of the estimated liabilities associated with the
Companys former self insured workers compensation program. The liabilities of discontinued
operations were $3,184,900 and $3,321,900 at February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively.
The State of Florida Division of Workers Compensation (the Division) requires self-insured
companies to pledge collateral in favor of the Division in an amount sufficient to cover the
projected outstanding liability. In compliance with this requirement, in July 2004 the Company
provided the Division with a $1 million letter of credit (LOC) from a bank with an expiration
date of May 30, 2009. In May 2009, the LOC was renewed for one year with an expiration date of
May 30, 2010. Based upon the banks evaluation of the Companys credit and to avoid
collateralization requirements, the LOC is guaranteed on behalf of the Company by Bisco. In
addition, the Company pledged letters of credit totaling $2,769,500 to the Division expiring in
December 2010 to meet the Divisions collateral requirement of $3,769,500. The December 2010 LOCs
are secured by a certificate of deposit of $769,500 and the Companys Sylmar Property.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Income Taxes
The Company had no material adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits during the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010.
Legal Matters
In May 2009, the Company was sued by the landlord of the Deland Property. In the suit, the
landlord claimed damages related to the capital lease for rent not paid by the Company, plus
penalties and interest. On July 31, 2009, the landlord and the Company agreed to a settlement on
the Deland Property and the related lease. See Note 3 above for further discussion.
Long Term Debt Covenant Violation
The GE Capital loan is secured by the Companys Orange Park Property. The Community Bank loan is
secured by the Sylmar Property and a personal guarantee of the Companys CEO. The Zions Bank loan
is secured by the Companys Brooksville Property.
The loan from Zions Bank requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants and
ratios measured annually beginning with the 12-month period ended December 31, 2008, as defined in
the loan agreement. As of February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance
with one covenant of the loan agreement. The defaulted covenant prohibited EACO from incurring any
additional debt during the loan measurement period. The Company violated this covenant through
borrowings from Bisco to fund operations throughout the course of fiscal 2009 and the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010. Zions Bank has not granted the Company a waiver regarding these
defaults. Although Zions Bank has not accelerated payment of the loan, the full amount due under
the mortgage is reported as a current liability in the accompanying February 28, 2010 and August
31, 2009 balance sheets. Zions Bank has indicated they will not take any action regarding the
breach; however, they reserve any and all rights they have under the mortgage agreement.
Violation of the Zion Bank debt covenant triggered a cross default provision with the GE
Capital and Community Bank loans. As a result and because the Company did not obtain waivers from
those creditors, such loans have been classified as current liabilities as of February 28, 2010 and
August 31, 2009.
As of February 28, 2010, the Company was current on the payments of principal and interest
required by the debt agreements described above. Management believes that the possibility of
foreclosure of any of the properties which collateralize such debt is remote. Should the properties
be foreclosed upon, the Company risks losing all of its related revenue stream.
Lease Obligations
As a result of the purchase of the Deland property the Company no longer has capital or operating
lease obligations. See Note 3 above for further discussion.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
Deland Property Tenant
On March 1, 2010, the Company leased the Deland, Florida Property to a restaurant tenant. The lease
has a term of seven years with one three year option. The rent is $15,200 per month and increases
by 2.6% per year starting in year 3. The Company receives only the rental payment and is
responsible for all other lease costs, including utilities and taxes. The tenant has a purchase
option on the property anytime in the first five years for $1.9 million.

Reverse Split of EACO Common Stock
EACO filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Florida, effective March 23, 2010 (the Effective Time), to effect a 1-for-25 reverse split of
its outstanding common stock (the Reverse Split). As of the Effective Time, each outstanding
share of EACO common stock automatically converted into four one-hundredth (0.04) of a share of
common stock. No fractional shares were issued upon such automatic conversion of the common
stock. If any fractional share of common stock would have been delivered upon such conversion to any
shareholder, such shareholder was paid an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of such fractional share as of the Effective Time, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of EACO. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, 3,910,264 shares (pre-reverse
split) of common stock were outstanding; upon the Effective Time, such shares converted into
approximately 156,410 shares (post-reverse split) of common stock.
The Reverse Split did not affect the number or par value of the authorized shares of common stock,
which remain at 8,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. As a result, the
Reverse Split effectively increased the proportion of authorized shares which are unissued relative
to those which are issued. In addition, the Reverse Split did not affect the number or par value of
the authorized shares of preferred stock of EACO, which remain at 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 40,000 shares are designated Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock. However, the Reverse Split increased the conversion price of the
outstanding Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock from $0.90 to $22.50, and reduced the
number of shares of common stock into which the outstanding shares of preferred stock may be
converted, from 1,000,000 shares to 40,000 shares (not including any accrued dividends on such
shares which may be converted).
Merger with Bisco Industries, Inc.
During the eight months ended August 31, 2009, the Company engaged financial advisors to evaluate
alternative strategies to increase shareholder value, including a merger with Bisco Industries,
Inc. (Bisco), an affiliated entity wholly owned by the Companys majority stockholder and Chief
Executive Officer, Glenn F. Ceiley, (CEO). Bisco is a distributor of electronic components and
fasteners with 37 sales offices and six distribution centers located throughout the United States
and Canada. Bisco supplies parts used in the manufacture of products in a broad range of
industries, including the aerospace, circuit board, communication, computer, fabrication,
instrumentation, industrial equipment and marine industries.
On March 24, 2010, EACO completed the acquisition of Bisco. The acquisition of Bisco (the
Acquisition) was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 22, 2009
by and among EACO, Bisco Acquisition Corp., Bisco and Glen F. Ceiley (the Agreement). Pursuant to
the Agreement, Bisco Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of EACO, was merged with and into
Bisco; Bisco was the surviving corporation in the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
EACO.
In connection with the Acquisition, EACO issued an aggregate of 4,705,669 shares of its common
stock (the Merger Shares) to the sole shareholder of Bisco in exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of Bisco. 36,000 shares of the Merger Shares will be held in escrow by EACO for
twelve months as security for the indemnification obligations of the former Bisco shareholder to
EACO as set forth in the Agreement.
Biscos sole shareholder was Glen F. Ceiley. After the Acquisition and the issuance to him of the
Merger Shares, Mr. Ceiley owns 98.9% of the outstanding common stock of EACO. Mr. Ceiley also owns
36,000 shares of the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of EACO. In addition, under a
management agreement with EACO, Bisco handles the day to day operations of EACO and provides
administration and accounting services through a steering committee. The steering committee
consists of Mr. Ceiley and certain senior executives of Bisco.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of February 28, 2010 presented below
reflects the merger and related events as if they had been consummated on February 28, 2010. Such
financial statement combines the historical EACO and Bisco balance sheets as of February 28, 2010.
The unaudited historical balance sheet of Bisco as of February 28, 2010 has been prepared in
conformity with GAAP in all material respects. Such pro forma financial information is presented
for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or necessarily be indicative of
the financial condition that would have been achieved if the merger had been completed as of the
date indicated, and should not be taken as representative of the future financial condition of the
combined entities.
Preparation of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet required management to make certain
judgments and estimates to determine the pro forma adjustments such as the estimated utilization of
EACO net operating loss carry forwards (NOL).

and resulting recognition of other deferred tax assets and liabilities; however, the ultimate
realization of the NOLs is dependent upon final determination from the Companys tax advisors
that the merger constituted a tax free reorganization and the NOLs will not be limited as a
result of the merger.
The pro forma balance sheet does not reflect any cost savings or operating synergies that may
result from the merger or the expenses required to achieve any such cost savings or operating
synergies.

The above unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared in accordance with
GAAP (ASC 805-50, Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control) and Article 11 of SEC
Regulation S-X in all material respects. GAAP specifies that in a combination of entities under
common control, the entity which receives the assets or the equity interests shall initially
recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts at the date of transfer
(as-if pooling-of-interests accounting). Mr. Glen Ceiley is the sole shareholder of Bisco and a
63% shareholder of EACO and as a result has majority voting control over Bisco and EACO; and both
entities are deemed to be under common control.
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the unaudited
Bisco consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2010 was developed utilizing the same
accounting policies to the extent applicable applied on a basis consistent with those used in
preparing the Companys historical financial statements.
The above unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the following pro
forma adjustments:
(A) Adjustment to eliminate intercompany receivable/loan balances between Bisco and EACO.
(B) Adjustment to recognize the NOL deferred tax asset of EACO (assuming reversal of the
existing 100% valuation allowance against such asset) and the impact of realizing certain other
deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities). The legal form of the transaction is an
acquisition of Bisco by EACO through an exchange of shares, and therefore the Internal Revenue Code
Section 382 change-of-ownership limitations are not expected to apply. Management expects to be
able to utilize the Companys NOLs to offset future taxable income of Bisco. The ultimate
realization of the NOLs is dependent upon final determination from the Companys tax advisors
that the merger constituted a tax free reorganization and the NOLs will not be limited as a
result of the merger.
(C) Adjustment to reduce current income tax liability resulting from the use of the
Companys NOLs (see pro forma adjustment B).
(D) Adjustment to reflect the exchange of all outstanding shares of Bisco common stock
for 4,705,669 shares of EACO common stock.

of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology
such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, may,
plan, possible, project, should, will and similar words or expressions. These
forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding our anticipated
revenue, expenses, profits, capital needs, and the expected
benefits of the acquisition of Bisco. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and
projections and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual

in general and administrative costs, our success in selling properties listed for sale, and the
risks set forth in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this report or identified from time to
time in our other filings with the SEC and in public announcements. You should not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake
no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, including
to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. The inclusion of forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report should
not be regarded as a representation by management or any other person that the objectives or plans
of the Company will be achieved.

Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company leases its properties to tenants under operating leases with terms exceeding one
year. Some of these leases contain scheduled rent increases. We record rent revenue for leases
which contain scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, in
accordance with ASC 840-20-25.
Receivables are carried net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables. An allowance is
maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of any tenant to meet their
contractual obligations under their lease agreements. We determine the adequacy of this allowance
by continually evaluating individual tenants receivables considering the tenants financial
condition and security deposits, and current economic conditions. There was no allowance for
uncollectible accounts necessary to reduce receivables to our estimate of the amount recoverable as
of February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Companys accounting policy for the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets is
considered critical. The Companys policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual
basis. The recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of each
asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such
assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. During the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010, the Company did not record an impairment charge on its rental
property assets. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2009, the Company performed an
impairment review and determined that three of the four Florida properties, Fowler, Deland and
Brooksville, were impaired and required a $2.1 million reduction in the carrying value of the
assets.
Liabilities of Discontinued Operations
The Companys policy for estimating liabilities of its discontinued operations is considered
critical. This item consists of the Companys self-insured workers compensation program. The
Company self-insures workers compensation claims losses up to certain limits. The liability for
workers compensation represents an estimate of the present value of the ultimate cost of uninsured
losses which are unpaid as of the balance sheet dates. The estimate is continually reviewed and
adjustments to the Companys estimated claim liability, if any, are reflected in discontinued
operations. At fiscal year end, the Company obtains an actuarial report which estimates its
overall exposure based on historical claims and an evaluation of future claims. An actuarial
evaluation was last obtained by the Company as of August 31, 2009. The Company pursues recovery of
certain claims from an insurance carrier. Recoveries, if any, are recognized when realization is
reasonably assured.
Deferred Tax Assets
The Companys policy for recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax is considered
critical. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not
these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or when future
deductibility is uncertain. In accordance with ASC 740-10-30, the Company records net deferred tax
assets to the extent management believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In
making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence,
including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income (if
any), tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. ASC 740-10-30 further states that
forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is negative
evidence such as cumulative losses and/or significant decreases in operations. As a result of the
Companys disposal of significant business operations, management concluded that a valuation
allowance should be recorded against certain federal and state tax credits. The utilization of
these credits requires sufficient taxable income after consideration of net operating loss
utilization.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include the
Companys workers compensation liability, the depreciable lives of assets, allowance against
F-14

accounts receivable, estimated loss on or impairment of long-lived assets and the valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a
full description of the Companys critical accounting policies, see Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Transition Report on
Form 10-K for the eight months ended August 31, 2009 as filed with the SEC on December 23, 2009.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended February 28, 2010 and 2009
At February 28, 2010, the Company owned three real estate properties for restaurant use, one
located in Orange Park, Florida (the Orange Park Property), one in Brooksville, Florida (the
Brooksville Property) and the third located in Deland, Florida (the Deland Property), which was
purchased during the three months ended November 30, 2009. The Orange Park Property was vacant
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2010. The Brooksville Property was occupied by
a third party restaurant operator during the three and six months ended February 28, 2010. The
Deland Property was vacant during the three and six months ended February 28, 2010. In July 2009,
the Company reached an agreement with the owner of that property to release the Company from their
lease obligation and sell the property to the Company for a combined amount of $2,145,500
($2,123,000 settlement amount and $22,500 closing costs). In addition, the Company owns an income
producing real estate property held for investment in Sylmar, California (the Sylmar Property)
with two industrial tenants.
The settlement resulted in the extinguishments of the capital lease obligation of approximately
$1,561,500 and the liability for past due rents of $232,700, and the difference between the
settlement amount and the amounts paid on the liabilities noted above was capitalized as additional
Deland property value in the amount of $351,300. Of the $351,300, $193,200 was allocated to
building and $158,100 was allocated to the land.
The Company experienced an increase of $18,800 or 8.3% in rental income in the three months ended
February 28, 2010 versus 2009 due to the rent escalators in the lease agreements substantially all
coming from the lease of the Sylmar property. The Company experienced a decrease of $10,200 or 2.1%
in rental income during six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to six months ended February
28, 2009, due to the loss of the tenants in the Deland and Fowler Properties, which occurred in
February 2009 and December 2008, respectively. This was slightly reduced by the rent increases at
the Sylmar property previously mentioned.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $41,000 or 87% in the three months ended February
28, 2010 versus 2009 due to a change in the estimate of the economic life of certain properties in
the second quarter of 2009, and depreciation was reduced.. Depreciation and amortization decreased
by $27,200 or 12.1% in the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to the six months ended
February 28, 2009 due to the settlement reached with the Fowler Property landlord in April 2009
which removed the capital lease asset from the Companys accounts subsequent to the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2009. This was slightly offset by the increase in depreciation and
amortization in the three month period ended February 28, 2010 as previously mentioned.
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of rent and related property insurance expense,
legal and other professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased $250,600 or 41%
and $363,100 or 35.5% in the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 versus 2009,
respectively, due mainly to a decrease in commissions recognized in 2009 from the Fowler Property
and Deland Property, as well as a decrease in bad debt expense incurred in the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 for two nonperforming tenants. There was no bad debt expense in the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010 and in the six months ended February 28, 2009. Further, the Company
incurred an increase of $159,500 in the workers compensation expense in the second quarter of 2009
derived from an updated actuarial valuation.
In the latter half of fiscal 2008, the real estate market in Florida declined considerably. In
addition, the general economic climate in the United States has caused consumers to decrease
discretionary spending, adversely affecting the restaurant industries. These two situations
combined with vacancies at three of the Companys four Florida properties triggered an impairment
analysis by management of the Companys owned real estate properties and capital lease holdings in
the State of Florida: the Deland Property, Fowler Property, Brooksville Property and Orange Park
Property. Based upon the appraisals received, the Company recorded impairment charges of
approximately $2,057,800 with regard to the Fowler Property, the Deland Property and the
Brooksville Property in the three and six months ended February 28, 2009. There was no such
impairment in the three and six months ended February 28, 2010.
The gain upon the termination of the sublease contracts of $791,000 and $827,500 in the three and
six months ended February 28, 2009 is a result of the default and subsequent eviction of subtenants
in the Fowler and Deland properties. Both the tenants of the Fowler Property and the Deland
Property were evicted at the beginning of 2009. The Company
F-16
Table of Contents
negotiated a settlement of the capital lease it held at the Fowler Property. No such transaction
occurred during the three and six months ended February 28, 2010.
Net interest expense decreased $62,300 or 22.8% and $106,000 or 19.8% in the three and six months
ended February 28, 2010 versus 2009 respectively, mainly due to the settlement reached with the
owner of the Fowler Property in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, resulting in no capital lease
payments, including interest, paid subsequent to the first quarter 2009 on that property.
Net loss was $434,200 or $2.78 per share and $838,900 or $5.30 per share in the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010 versus $1,996,700 or $12.77 per share and $2,560,300 or $16.37 per
share in the three and six months ended February 28, 2009. This decrease in net loss for both the
three and six month periods is due mainly to the impairment expense incurred in 2009 offset
somewhat by the gain on the termination of sublease contracts, also in 2009. Further, the company
reduced its general and administrative expenses in 2010, while the Company incurred increased
workers compensation expense and commissions in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Throughout the six months ended February 28, 2010, the Company received bridge loans from Bisco
totaling approximately $2,423,000 respectively. The bridge loans were made pursuant to note
agreements that accrue interest at an annual rate of 7.5%. The note agreements do not provide for
regularly scheduled payments; however, all outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest is
due six months from the date of each note. The loans are due by the Company through June 2010.
Due to the reassignment of two leased properties to the Company and loss on the Companys lawsuit
with two brokers, working capital requirements have been significant.
In December 2007, the Company exercised the purchase option under the lease agreement with CNL
American Property, the landlord, for the purchase of the Brooksville Property. The purchase price
was approximately $2,027,000 and was paid in cash. During 2008, the Company financed the
Brooksville Property with Zions Bank receiving cash of approximately $1,200,000 and a mortgage for
that amount. The mortgage is for 20 years at an annual interest rate of 6.65%. Proceeds from the
financing were used to repay a portion of the amounts borrowed from Bisco. The outstanding balance
of the loan at February 28, 2010 was $1,178,100. As of the Companys fiscal year end of August 31,
2009 and as of the three and six months ended February 28, 2010, the Company was not in compliance
with one covenant of the loan agreement. Zions Bank has not granted the Company a waiver
regarding that default. As such, while Zions Bank has not accelerated the loan, the full amount
due under the mortgage is being shown as current on the accompanying balance sheet. Zions Bank
has indicated they will not take any action regarding the breach; however, they reserve any and all
rights they have under the mortgage agreement.
Violation of the Zions Bank covenant triggered a cross default provision with the GE Capital and
Community Bank loans and, as a result, because the Company did not obtain waivers from creditors,
such loans have been classified as current liabilities as of February 28, 2010.
In July 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the landlord of the Deland
Property. For the sum of $2,123,000 settlement amount and payment of $22,500 in closing costs, the
landlord agreed to sell the property to the Company and release the Company from all past and
future liabilities related to the lease. The Company paid $200,000 in July 2009 and the remainder
in September 2009.
In October 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement with GE Capital for one restaurant
property owned by the Company. The loan requires monthly principal and interest payments totaling
$10,400. Interest is at the thirty-day LIBOR rate +3.75% (minimum interest rates of 7.34%). The
loan is due December 2016. As of February 28, 2010 the outstanding balance due under the Companys
loan with GE Capital was $663,300.
The Company also assumed a loan in the amount of $1,800,000 with Citizens Bank of California in
connection with the Sylmar Property purchase in November 2005. On November 9, 2007, the Company
completed the refinance of the Sylmar Property in exchange for a note in the amount of $5,875,000
from Community Bank. Of this amount, $1,752,000 was used

to payoff the assumed loan from Citizens Bank, $4,088,900 was received in cash, and $34,100
represented fees paid for refinancing. The loan agreement requires the Company to comply with
certain financial covenants and ratios measured annually beginning with the 12-month period ended
December 31, 2007. The Company was not in compliance with its loan covenants as of February 28,
2010 and August 31, 2009. As of, February 28, 2010 the outstanding balance due on the loan to
Community Bank, collateralized by the Sylmar Property, was $5,606,800
The Company is required to pledge collateral for its workers compensation self insurance liability
with the Florida Self Insurers Guaranty Association (FSIGA). The Company decreased this
collateral by $369,500 during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and had a total of $3,769,500
pledged collateral at February 28, 2010. Bisco provides $1 million of this collateral. The
Company may be required to increase this collateral pledge from time to time in the future, based
on its workers compensation claim experience and various FSIGA requirements for self-insured
companies. Despite the sale of the Companys restaurants, workers compensation will remain an
ongoing liability for the Company until all claims are paid, which will likely take many years.
In June 2004, the Company sold 145,833 shares of its common stock (the Common Stock) directly to
Bisco Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan for a total cash purchase price of
$175,000. In September 2004, the Company sold 36,000 shares of the Companys newly authorized
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) to the Companys Chairman
at a price of $25 per share, for a total cash purchase price of $900,000. Preferred stock
dividends cumulate whether or not declared but are paid quarterly when declared by the Companys
Board of Directors. The Company declared no preferred stock dividends during the three and six
months ended February 28, 2010. As of February 28, 2010, there was $76,400 of cumulative undeclared
dividends.
Cash used in operating activities was $914,000 for the six months ended February 28, 2010. This
developed from a net loss of $800,700 partially offset by somewhat be depreciation and amortization
of $197,300. Other operating activities that increased the use of cash were an increase in other
assets of $46,900 and a decrease in accounts payable of $97,300, and decreases in accrued
liabilities and workers compensation liability of $53,800 and $137,000, respectively. For the six
months ended February 28, 2009, the use of cash developed from a net loss of $2,522,100, offset
somewhat be depreciation and amortization of $224,500 and a non-cash impairment expense of
$2,057,800. Other operating activities that reduced the use of cash were a decrease in prepaid
expenses and other assets of $58,900 and $335,900, respectively and an increase in accounts payable
of $128,100, offset somewhat by decreases in deferred rent and a deposit liability of $47,800 and
$64,400 respectively
Cash used in investing activities was $151,300 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 which was
from the purchase of the Deland Property. Cash produced from investing activities of $363,200 in
the six months ended February 28, 2009 was from the release of restricted cash.
Cash produced from financing activities was $1,059,000 for the six months ended February 28, 2010
and was from the issuance of related party debt of $2,731,500 offset by the extinguishment of debt
of $1,561,900 and the repayment of long term debt of $110,600. Cash produced in the six months
ended February 28, 2009 of $155,100 was mainly from the proceeds of related party debt of $234,500
offset by the repayment of long term debt of $58,900 and the payment of preferred dividends of
$19,100.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or
future effect on the financial position, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital
expenditures, except for the land leases on the restaurant properties treated as operating leases.
Contractual Financial Obligations
In addition to using cash flow from operations, the Company finances its operations through the
issuance of debt, and previously by entering into leases. These financial obligations are recorded
in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transactions, with the result that
some are recorded as liabilities in the balance sheet while others are required to be disclosed in
the Notes to the financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Transition Report on Form 10-K for the eight
months ended August 31, 2009 and in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act) and is not required to provide the information required under this
item.
Item 4(T). | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as the Companys principal financial
officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2010 in alerting
management to material information regarding the Companys financial statements and disclosure
obligations in order to allow the Company to meet its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act
in a timely manner. This evaluation is based, in part, on similar findings as discussed in detail
in Item 9(A)T in the Companys Transition Report on Form 10-K for the eight months ended August 31,
2009.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in internal
control over financial reporting in the three months ended February 28, 2010 that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are discussed below. Other risks are
presented elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Transition
Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business,
financial condition and operating results. If any of the following risks, or any other risks not
described below, actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could
be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for shares of our common stock may decline,
and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We are not in compliance with one of our loan covenants that has or may have triggered cross
defaults of two other loan agreements and gives our creditors the right to foreclose on our income
producing real property; any such foreclosure would have a material adverse impact on our business
and results of operations.
We are currently in violation of a debt covenant with Zions Bank that has or may have triggered
cross defaults under the loan documents with two of our other creditors, GE Capital and Community
Bank. As of February 28, 2010, the total amount owed to these three creditors was approximately
$7.5 million, and such loans were secured by certain of our real properties. Although none of these
creditors have accelerated their loans, we have not obtained waivers from these creditors. As a
result, such creditors may seek to enforce their remedies under their loan agreements, which could
include, among other things, acceleration of the scheduled maturity dates (which range from the
year 2016 to 2033) of such indebtedness and/or foreclosure on our real estate, either of which
would result in the loss or significant decline in our revenues and assets.
The loss of any of our three tenants and the geographic concentration of our commercial real estate
property could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
During the three months and six months ended February 28, 2010, three tenants comprised all of our
rental revenue, and our largest tenant represented approximately 52% of our rental revenue for such
period. The loss of any one of these tenants could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operations. In addition, all of our rental properties are in either Florida or California,
where the commercial real estate markets in such regions have been depressed and have experienced
significant declines in rental rates and real estate values. Our real properties in Deland and
Orange Park (in the state of Florida) are currently vacant, and we cannot assure you that we will
be able to lease or sell these properties on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, which
could adversely impact our results of operations.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
