FLANIGAN’S
ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL
3, 2010
(1)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The
accompanying financial information for the periods ended April 3, 2010 and March
28, 2009 are unaudited. Financial information as of October 3, 2009
has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information for the periods indicated have been
included. For further information regarding the Company's accounting
policies, refer to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended October 3, 2009. Operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
The
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of the nine limited partnerships
in which we act as general partner and have controlling interests. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling
interest represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the net assets
and results of operations of the nine limited partnerships.
These
financial statements include estimates relating to performance based officers’
bonuses. The estimates are reviewed periodically and the effects of
any revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are
determined to be necessary. Although these estimates are based on
management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may take in the future,
they may ultimately differ from actual results.
(2) EARNINGS
PER SHARE:
We follow
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Section
260 - “Earnings per
Share” (FASB ASC 260). This section provides for the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The data on Page
3 shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effects on
income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive common
stock equivalents. As of April 3, 2010, no stock options were
outstanding.
(3) RECLASSIFICATION:
Certain
amounts in the fiscal year 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the fiscal year 2010 presentation. The reclassifications
had no effect on consolidated net income.
(4) RECENT
ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Adopted
In
December 2007, the FASB issued changes regarding business
combinations. These changes establish principles and requirements for
how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. These changes
also establish disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature
and financial effects of the business combination. These changes were
adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and will have an
impact on our accounting for any future business acquisitions.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued changes regarding consolidation and
non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. These
changes impacted the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are
now recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a
component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly
changed the accounting for transactions with minority interest
holders. These changes were adopted by us in the first quarter of our
fiscal year 2010 and did not have a material impact on our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
8
In
March 2008, the FASB issued changes regarding derivatives and hedging to
enhance disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities. These changes were adopted by us in the first quarter of
our fiscal year 2010. As we do not currently engage in derivative transactions
or hedging activities, these changes do not have a material impact on our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued
In
February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its
authoritative guidance related to subsequent events to alleviate potential
conflicts with current United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
guidance. Effective immediately, these amendments remove the requirement that an
SEC filer disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events.
The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
The FASB
has issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) –
Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – A Scope
Clarification. This ASU clarifies that the scope of the decrease in
ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance and also clarifies
that the decrease in ownership guidance in Subtopic 810-10 does not apply to:
(a) sales of in substance real estate; and (b) conveyances of oil and gas
mineral rights, even if these transfers involve businesses. The amendments in
this ASU also expand the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a
subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. ASU 2010-02 is effective
beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after
December 15, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standard will have an effect
on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non
wholly-owned businesses acquired in the future.
In June
2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for determining whether an
entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In
addition, these changes require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise
is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced
disclosures related to an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest
entity. These changes become effective for annual periods beginning
after November 15, 2009 and will be adopted by us in our fiscal year
2011. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the adoption of these changes on consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
Accounting
standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are
not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
(5) LINE
OF CREDIT:
Under a
secured line of credit with a third party financial institution we are able to
borrow up to $2,500,000. The outstanding balance on our line of
credit bears interest at BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%, (2.498% as of April
3, 2010), with monthly payments of interest only and the unpaid principal
balance and all accrued interest was due in full on April 7, 2010. We
granted our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a
second mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment
obligations under our credit line. Subsequent to the end of the
second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the maturity date of our line of credit,
(April 7, 2010), was extended until June 5, 2010 while we negotiate a
modification of our line of credit arrangement with our
lender. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid
monthly installments of interest payments, with no borrowings or principal
payments. As of April 3, 2010, the amount outstanding under the line
of credit was $1,586,000, with a remaining availability of
$914,000.
Financed
Insurance Premiums
(i) For
the policy year beginning December 30, 2008, our property insurance is a two (2)
year policy with our insurance carrier. The two (2) year property
insurance premium is in the amount of $631,000 and is financed in full through
an unaffiliated third party lender. The finance agreement earns
interest at the rate of 5.15% per annum and is amortized over 20 months, with
monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of
$30,000. The finance agreement is secured by a security interest in
all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments
and loss payments thereof.
(ii) For
the policy year beginning December 30, 2009, our general liability insurance,
excluding limited partnerships, is a one (1) year policy with our insurance
carriers, including automobile and excess liability coverage. The one
(1) year general liability insurance premiums, including automobile and excess
liability coverage, total in the aggregate $243,000, of which $199,000 is
financed through the same unaffiliated third party lender. The
finance agreement earns interest at the rate of 2.99% per annum and is amortized
over 10 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the
amount of $20,000. The finance agreement is secured by a security
interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium,
dividend payments and loss payments thereof.
9
(iii) For
the policy year beginning December 30, 2009, our general liability insurance for
our limited partnerships is a one (1) year policy with our insurance carriers,
including excess liability coverage. The one (1) year general
liability insurance premiums, including excess liability coverage, total, in the
aggregate $205,000, of which $146,000 is financed through the same unaffiliated
third party lender. The finance agreement earns interest at the rate
of 2.99% per annum and is amortized over 11 months, with monthly payments of
principal and interest, each in the amount of $13,000. The finance
agreement is secured by a security interest in all insurance policies, all
unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments
thereof.
As of
April 3, 2010, we owe, in the aggregate, a principal balance of $466,000 to the
third party lender that financed our property and general liability insurance
policies.
(6) PURCHASE
OF FRANCHISED RESTAURANT:
Boca
Raton, Florida
During
the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we purchased from our franchisee, the
operating assets of the franchised restaurant located at 45 S. Federal Highway,
Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida for an aggregate purchase price of
$262,000 and on October 18, 2009 this restaurant began operating as a
Company-owned restaurant. The lease at this location expires on April 30,
2011. Our franchisee was unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of
the lease term. There can be no assurance that the lease term will be
extended or that we will find a suitable replacement location at reasonable
rates, if at all. Such uncertainty was factored into the purchase
price.
(7) INVESTMENT
IN REAL PROPERTY:
Hollywood,
Florida
During
the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we purchased the real property and
building where our combination restaurant and package liquor store located at
2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida, (Store #19),
operates. We paid $1,350,000 for this property, $850,000 of which we
borrowed from an unaffiliated third party, pursuant to a first
mortgage. The mortgage note bears interest at the rate of eight and
one-half (8½%) percent per annum, is amortized over fifteen (15) years with
equal monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $8,370,
with the entire principal balance and all accrued interest due in eight (8)
years.
(8) INCOME
TAXES:
We
account for our income taxes using FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires
among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates
attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and
income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss
carryforwards and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax
benefits is more likely than not.
(9) STOCK
OPTION PLANS:
We have
one stock option plan under which qualified stock options may be granted to our
officers and other employees. Under this plan, the exercise price for
the qualified stock options must be no less than 100% of the fair market value
of the Company’s Common Stock on the date the options are granted. In
general, options granted under our stock option plan expire after a five (5)
year period and generally vest no later than one (1) year from the date of
grant. As of April 3, 2010, no options to acquire shares were
outstanding. Under this plan, options to acquire an aggregate of
45,000 shares are available for grant.
10
No stock
options were granted during the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, nor were
stock options granted during the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009.
No stock
options were exercised during the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, nor were
stock options exercised during the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009.
There was
no stock option activity during the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010. During the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009, 9,350 options
expired unexercised.
(10) ACQUISITIONS:
Purchase
of Company Common Stock
Pursuant
to a discretionary plan approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on May
17, 2007, during
the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010, we did not purchase any shares of our
common stock. During
the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, we purchased 1,000 shares of our
common stock from the Joseph G. Flanigan Charitable Trust for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,000.
(11) COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
Guarantees
We
guarantee various leases for franchisees and locations sold in prior
years. Remaining rental commitments required under these leases are
approximately $1,208,000. In the event of a default under any of
these agreements, we will have the right to repossess the premises and operate
the business to recover amounts paid under the guarantee either by liquidating
assets or operating the business.
We
account for such lease guarantees in accordance with ASC Topic 460 (formerly
FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” or FIN
45). Under ASC Topic 460, we would be required to recognize the fair
value of guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, for
non-contingent guarantee obligations, and also a liability for contingent
guarantee obligations based on the probability that the guaranteed party will
not perform under the contractual terms of the guaranty agreement.
We do not
believe it is probable that we will be required to perform under the remaining
lease guarantees and therefore, no liability has been accrued in our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Litigation
From time
to time, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our
business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall” accidents, claims
under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations,
employment-related claims and claims from guests alleging illness, injury or
other food quality, health or operational concerns. To date, none of this
litigation, some of which is covered by insurance, has had a material effect on
us.
11
We own
the building where our corporate offices are located. On April 16,
2001, we filed suit against the owner of the adjacent shopping center to
determine our right to non-exclusive parking in the shopping
center. During fiscal year 2007, the appellate court affirmed and
upon re-hearing, again affirmed the granting of a summary judgment in favor of
the shopping center. The seller from whom we purchased the building
was named as a defendant in the lawsuit by the owner of the adjacent shopping
center and we filed and served a cross-complaint against the
seller. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2009, the seller
was awarded reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of
$109,000 and during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the trial court
denied our motion for re-consideration of a portion of the award. Subsequent to
the end of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid the award of
attorneys’ fees and costs. During the second quarter of our fiscal
year 2009, the seller filed suit against us for malicious
prosecution. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the
court denied the seller’s motion for punitive damages. We deny the
allegations and are vigorously defending against the allegations.
During
fiscal year 2007, we and the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in
Pinecrest, Florida filed suit against the limited partnership’s
landlord. We are the sole general partner and a 40% limited partner
in this limited partnership. We were seeking to recover the cost of
structural repairs to the business premises we paid, as we believed that these
structural repairs were the landlord’s responsibility under the
lease. The lawsuit, in addition to attempting to recover the amounts
expended by us for structural repairs also attempted to recover the rent paid by
the limited partnership while the repairs were occurring. The claim
also included a request by the limited partnership for the court to determine if
the limited partnership had the exclusive right to the use of the pylon sign in
front of the business premises. The landlord denied liability for
structural repairs to the business premises, denied any obligation to reimburse
the limited partnership for any rent paid while structural repairs occurred and
denied the limited partnership’s right to use the pylon sign. During
the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we settled the lawsuit without
recovering the cost of any structural repairs to the business premises, nor any
rent paid while the structural repairs were occurring. The
limited partnership was granted the right, for a monthly fee, to occupy the top
space on each side of the two pylon signs constructed by the landlord for the
shopping center throughout the term of the lease, including renewal options if
exercised by the limited partnership. Each party is responsible for
its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the
lawsuit. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2010, the settlement was reduced to writing and approved by the
court.
(12) SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS:
Subsequent
events have been evaluated through the date these condensed consolidated
financial statements were issued. No events, other than the events
disclosed above, required disclosure.
(13) BUSINESS
SEGMENTS:
We
operate principally in two reportable segments – package stores and
restaurants. The operation of package stores consists of retail
liquor sales and related items. Information concerning the revenues
and operating income for the thirteen weeks and twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010 and March 28, 2009, and identifiable assets for the two reportable segments
in which we operate, are shown in the following table. Operating
income is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses
relative to each segment. In computing operating income, none of the
following items have been included: interest expense, other non-operating income
and expenses and income taxes. Identifiable assets by segment are
those assets that are used in our operations in each
segment. Corporate assets are principally cash and real property,
improvements, furniture, equipment and vehicles used at our corporate
headquarters. We do not have any operations outside of the United
States and transactions between restaurants and package liquor stores are not
material.

OVERVIEW
At April

referenced in (ii) below), consisting of restaurants, package stores and
combination restaurants/package stores that we either own or have operational
control over and partial ownership in; (ii) own but do not operate one adult
entertainment club; and (iii) franchise an additional five units, consisting of
one restaurant and four combination restaurants/package stores, (one restaurant

general partner and/or have invested in; or (iii) the unit is franchised by us),
as of April 3, 2010 and as compared to March 28, 2009 and October 3,
2009. With the exception of “The Whale’s Rib”, a restaurant we
operate but do not own, all of the restaurants operate under our service mark
“Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and all of the package liquor stores operate

Notes:
(1)
During the first quarter of our 2010 fiscal year end, we purchased from a
franchisee the operating restaurant assets of the franchised restaurant located
in Boca Raton, Florida and accordingly, on October 18, 2009 the restaurant
converted from a franchised unit to a company owned restaurant.
(2) We
operate a restaurant for one (1) franchisee. This unit is included in
the table both as a franchised restaurant, as well as a restaurant operated by
us.
Franchise Financial
Arrangement: In exchange for our providing management and
related services to our franchisees and granting them the right to use our
service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and “Big Daddy’s Liquors”, our
franchisees (four of which are franchised to members of the family of our
Chairman of the Board, officers and/or directors), are required to (i) pay to us
a royalty equal to 1% of gross package sales and 3% of gross restaurant sales;
and (ii) make advertising expenditures equal to between 1.5% to 3% of all gross
sales based upon our actual advertising costs allocated between stores,
pro-rata, based upon gross sales.
15
Limited Partnership
Financial Arrangement: We manage and control the operations of
all restaurants owned by limited partnerships, except the Fort Lauderdale,
Florida restaurant which is owned and managed by a related
franchisee. Accordingly, the results of operations of all limited
partnership owned restaurants, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant
are consolidated into our operations for accounting purposes. The
results of operations of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are accounted
for by us utilizing the equity method. In general, until the
investors’ cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested
by us and our affiliates) is returned in full, the limited partnership
distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation
of the restaurant up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership,
with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of
the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the
investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee, with the
balance distributed to the investors. Once the investors in the
limited partnership have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash
invested, an annual management fee is payable to us equal to one-half (½) of
available cash to the limited partnership, with the other one half (½) of
available cash distributed to the investors (including us and our
affiliates). As of April 3, 2010, limited partnerships owning three
(3) restaurants, (Surfside, Florida, Kendall, Florida and West Miami, Florida
locations), have returned all cash invested and we receive an annual management
fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited
partnership. In addition to its receipt of distributable amounts from
the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of
the service mark “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill”.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks
Ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.
Revenues. Total
revenue for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $1,181,000 or 6.65%
to $18,938,000 from $17,757,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,
2009. This increase resulted from sales from our formerly
franchised Boca Raton, Florida restaurant ($863,000), which opened for business
as a Company owned restaurant on October 18, 2009, offset by the decrease in
franchise royalties and bookkeeping fees which otherwise would have been paid by
the former franchisee, ($32,000). Without giving effect to the
increased revenue generated by the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant becoming a
company owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, total revenue for the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 would have increased $350,000 or 1.97% to
$18,107,000 from $17,757,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,
2009.
Restaurant
Food Sales. Restaurant
revenue generated from the sale of food at restaurants (food sales) totaled
$11,950,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared to
$11,198,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The increase
in food sales resulted from sales from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, which
generated $557,000 of food sales during the thirteen weeks ended April 3,
2010. Without giving effect to the food sales generated from the Boca
Raton, Florida restaurant operating as a Company owned restaurant as opposed to
a franchise, ($557,000), food sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010,
would have increased $195,000 or 1.74% to $11,393,000 from $11,198,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. Comparable weekly food sales
(for restaurants open for all of the second quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and
2009, which consists of seven restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned
by affiliated limited partnerships) was $876,000 and $861,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an increase of
1.74%. Comparable weekly food sales for Company owned restaurants
(open for all of the second quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was
$351,000 and $336,000 for the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the
second quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, an increase of
4.46%. Comparable weekly food sales for affiliated limited
partnership owned restaurants, (open for all of the second quarter of our fiscal
years 2010 and 2009), was $525,000 and $526,000 for the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2010 and the second quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, a
decrease of 0.19%. We anticipate that food sales will continue to
increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due to, among other
things, the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant.
Restaurant
Bar Sales. Restaurant
revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants (bar
sales) totaled $3,061,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared
to $2,668,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The
increase in bar sales resulted from sales from the Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant, which generated $204,000 of bar sales during the thirteen weeks
ended April 3, 2010, as well as our new
promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of time
for business for most of our restaurants), instituted during the first quarter
of our fiscal year 2010. Without giving effect to the bar
sales generated from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant becoming a Company owned
restaurant as opposed to a franchise, ($204,000), bar sales for the thirteen
weeks ended April 3, 2010, would have increased $189,000 or 7.08% to $2,857,000
from $2,668,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,
2009. Comparable weekly bar sales (for restaurants open for all
of the second quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009, which consists of seven
restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned by affiliated limited
partnerships) was $220,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 and
$205,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009, an increase of
7.32%. Comparable weekly bar sales for Company owned
restaurants, (open for all of the second quarter of our fiscal years
2010 and 2009), was $86,000 and $81,000 for the second quarter of our fiscal
year 2010 and the second quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, an
increase of 6.17%. Comparable weekly bar sales for affiliated limited
partnership owned restaurants, (open for all of the second quarter of
our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $134,000 and $125,000 for the second
quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the second quarter of our fiscal year 2009,
respectively, an increase of 7.20%. We anticipate that bar
sales will continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010
primarily because of the bar sales from our Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant, as well as an increase in same store bar sales because of a new
promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of time
for business for most of our restaurants), instituted during the first quarter
of our fiscal year 2010.

Package
Store Sales. Revenue generated from
sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores (package store sales)
totaled $3,595,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared to
$3,515,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009, an increase of $80,000,
notwithstanding New Year’s
Eve falling in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 as opposed to the
second quarter of our fiscal year 2009 (and accordingly not included in package
store sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010, but included in package
store sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009). The weekly average of same
store package store sales, (which includes all nine (9) Company owned package
liquor stores open for all of the second quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and
2009), was $276,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared to
$270,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009, an increase of
2.22%. Package
store sales are expected to remain stable throughout the balance of our fiscal
year 2010.
Operating
Costs and Expenses. Operating costs
and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related
costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative expenses), for
the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $880,000 or 5.32% to
$17,423,000 from $16,543,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The
increase was primarily due to expenses related to the operation of our Boca
Raton, Florida restaurant of approximately $453,000 and to a lesser extent a
general increase in food costs, offset by actions taken by management to reduce
and/or control costs and expenses. We anticipate that our operating
costs and expenses will continue to increase throughout the balance of our
fiscal year 2010 due primarily to the operating costs and expenses associated
with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant and among other things, an expected
general increase in food costs, offset by a decrease in the cost of
ribs. Operating costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total
sales to approximately 92.00% in the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010 from
93.16% in the second quarter of our fiscal year 2009
Gross
Profit. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of merchandise
sold from sales.
Restaurant Food
Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food sales and bar sales for the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased to $9,919,000 from $9,210,000 for
the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. Our gross profit margin for
food sales and bar sales (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage
of restaurant food sales and bar sales), was 66.08% for the thirteen weeks ended
April 3, 2010 and 66.42% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29,
2008. This slight decrease in gross profit for food sales and bar
sales for the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to our
new restaurant bar promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a
slow period of time for business for most of our restaurants), instituted during
the first quarter of our fiscal year end 2010, offset by a decrease in the cost
of ribs during calendar year 2010. We
anticipate that our gross profit for food sales and bar sales will continue to
decrease during the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due to our new restaurant
bar promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of
time for business for most of our restaurants), offset by a decrease in the cost
of ribs during calendar year 2010.
Package Store
Sales. Gross profit for package store sales for the thirteen
weeks ended April 2, 2010 increased to $1,203,000 from $1,109,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. Our gross profit margin,
(calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package store sales),
for package store sales was 33.46% for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010
and 31.55% for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The increase
in our gross profit margin, (1.91%), was primarily due to the
purchase of "close out" and inventory reduction merchandise from wholesalers. We
anticipate the gross profit margin for package store sales to remain constant
throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 as we expect to continue
purchasing “close out” and inventory reduction merchandise from
wholesalers.
18
Payroll and
Related Costs. Payroll and related
costs for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $493,000 or 9.74% to
$5,553,000 from $5,060,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009 due
primarily to the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant being open during the thirteen
weeks ended April 3, 2010, ($245,000), offset by a reduction of our store level
management. We anticipate that our payroll and related costs will
increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the
payroll and related costs and expenses associated with our Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant. Payroll
and related costs as a percentage of total sales was 29.32% in the second
quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and 28.50% of total sales in the second quarter
of our fiscal year 2009.
Occupancy
Costs. Occupancy costs
(consisting of rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes and
amortization of leasehold purchases) for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010
increased $48,000 or 4.93% to $1,021,000 from $973,000 for the thirteen weeks
ended March 28, 2009. Our occupancy costs increased primarily due to
the occupancy cost associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset by
the elimination of rent paid for our combination restaurant and package liquor
store located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), the
real property and building of which we purchased during the first quarter of our
fiscal year 2010 and a decrease in the rent paid for our restaurant located at
1550 W. 84th
Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9) during the second quarter of our fiscal year
2010. We anticipate that our occupancy costs will increase throughout
the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the occupancy cost
associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset by the elimination of
rent paid for our combination restaurant and package liquor store located at
2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19) and a decrease in the
rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th
Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9).
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but
not limited to advertising, insurance, professional costs, clerical and
administrative overhead) for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 decreased
$83,000 or 2.41% to $3,365,000 from $3,448,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
March 28, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of total sales in the second quarter of our fiscal
year 2010 to approximately 17.77% as compared to 19.42% in the second quarter of
our fiscal year 2009. This decrease is due primarily to reduced
advertising expense and property and workers compensation insurance expenses,
offset by the selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the
operation of the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant and an overall increase in
expenses. We anticipate that throughout the balance of our
fiscal year 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses will be
consistent with our prior fiscal year, with increases attributed to the
operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant offset by decreases in
advertising and insurance expense.
Depreciation and
Amortization. Depreciation for the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 was $615,000 and $626,000
respectively. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization expense was 3.25% of revenue in the thirteen weeks ended April 3,
2010 and 3.53% of revenue in the thirteen weeks ended March 28,
2009.
Interest Expense,
Net. Interest expense,
net, for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $22,000 to $130,000
from $108,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. Interest
expense increased during the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 primarily due to
the interest paid on the mortgage associated with the purchase of our
combination restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N. University
Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), which mortgage did not exist during the
thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The interest expense and
principal balance on our line of credit were approximately equal during the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.
19
Net
Income. Net
income for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 decreased $14,000 or 2.05% to
$670,000 from $684,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,
2009. As a percentage of sales, net income for the second quarter of
our fiscal year 2010 is 3.54%, as compared to 3.85% in the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2009. The decrease in net income as a percentage of sales
(-0.31%) is primarily due to lower gross profit generated from our food sales
and bar sales, offset by higher gross profit generated from our package store
sales and improved control over expenses. During the thirteen
weeks ended March 28, 2009, we adjusted our deferred tax asset by
$122,000.
Comparison of Twenty Six
Weeks Ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.
Revenues. Total
revenue for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $2,092,000 or
6.15% to $36,102,000 from $34,010,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. This increase resulted from sales from our formerly
franchised Boca Raton, Florida restaurant ($1,493,000), which opened for
business as a Company owned restaurant on October 18, 2009, offset by the
decrease in franchise royalties and bookkeeping fees which otherwise would have
been paid by the former franchisee, ($58,000). Without giving effect
to the increased revenue generated by the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant
becoming a Company owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, ($1,493,000),
total revenue for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 would have increased
$657,000 or 1.93% to $34,667,000 from $34,010,000 for the twenty six weeks ended
March 28, 2009.
Restaurant
Food Sales. Restaurant
revenue generated from the sale of food at restaurants (food sales) totaled
$22,554,000 for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared to
$21,367,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009. The
increase in food sales resulted primarily from sales from the Boca Raton,
Florida restaurant, which generated $1,038,000 of food sales during the twenty
six weeks ended April 3, 2010. Without giving effect to the food
sales generated from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant operating as a Company
owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, ($1,038,000), food sales during the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 would have increased $149,000 or 0.70% to
$21,516,000 from $21,367,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. Comparable weekly food sales (for restaurants open for
all of the first and second quarters of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009, which
consists of seven restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned by
affiliated limited partnerships) was $828,000 and $822,000 for the twenty
six ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an increase of
0.73%. Comparable weekly food
sales for Company owned restaurants, (open for all of the first and second
quarters of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $323,000 and $314,000 for
the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an
increase of 2.87%. Comparable weekly food sales for affiliated
limited partnership owned restaurants (for restaurants open for all of the first
and second quarters of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $505,000 and
$508,000 for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009,
respectively, a decrease of 0.59%.We anticipate that food sales will
continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due to,
among other things, the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset
by a decline in same store restaurant food sales.
Restaurant
Bar Sales. Restaurant
revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants (bar
sales) totaled $5,670,000 for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 as
compared to $5,072,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. The increase in bar sales is due to sales from the Boca
Raton, Florida restaurant, which generated $353,000 of bar sales during the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, as well as our new
promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of time
for business for most of our restaurants), instituted during the first quarter
of our fiscal year 2010. Without giving effect to the bar
sales generated by the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant becoming a Company owned
restaurant as opposed to a franchise,($353,000) bar sales during the twenty six
weeks ended April 3, 2010, would have increased $245,000 or 4.83% to $5,317,000
from $5,072,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. Comparable weekly bar sales (for restaurants open for all
of the first and second quarters of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009, which
consists of seven restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned by
affiliated limited partnerships) was $204,000 for the twenty six weeks ended
April 3, 2010 and $195,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009, an
increase of 4.62%. Comparable weekly bar sales for Company owned
restaurants (open for all of the first and second quarters of our fiscal years
2010 and 2009,) was $79,000 and $75,000 for the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an increase of
5.33%. Comparable weekly bar sales for affiliated limited partnership
owned restaurants (open for all of the first and second quarters of our fiscal
years 2010 and 2009) was $125,000 and $120,000 for the twenty six weeks ended
April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an increase of
4.17%. We anticipate that bar
sales will continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010
primarily because of the bar sales from our Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant, as well as an increase in same store bar sales because of a new
promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of time
for business for most of our restaurants), instituted during the first quarter
of our fiscal year 2010.
20
Package Store
Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related
items at package stores (package store sales) totaled $7,188,000 for
the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 as compared to $6,863,000 for the
twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009, an increase of $325,000. The
weekly average of same store package store sales, (which includes all nine (9)
Company owned package liquor stores open for all of the first and second
quarters of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009) was $276,000 and $264,000 for the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, respectively, an
increase of 4.55%. Package liquor store sales are expected to remain
stable throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010.
Operating
Costs and Expenses. Operating costs
and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related
costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative expenses), for
the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $1,489,000 or 4.58% to
$33,996,000 from $32,507,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to the
operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant of approximately $805,000 and to
a lesser extent a general increase in food costs, offset by actions taken by
management to reduce and/or control costs and expenses. We anticipate
that our operating costs and expenses will continue to increase throughout the
balance of our fiscal year 2010 due primarily to the operating costs and
expenses associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant and among other
things, an expected general increase in food costs, offset by a decrease in the
cost of ribs. Operating costs and expenses decreased as a
percentage of total sales to approximately 94.17% for the twenty six weeks ended
April 3, 2010 from 95.58% for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of merchandise
sold from sales.
Restaurant Food
Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food and bar sales
for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased to $18,550,000 from
$17,551,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009. Our gross
profit margin for food sales and bar sales (calculated as gross profit reflected
as a percentage of food sales and bar sales), was 65.72% for the twenty six
weeks ended April 3, 2010 and 66.38% for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. This slight decrease in gross profit margin for food sales and
bar sales for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, (-0.66%), was primarily
due to our new restaurant bar promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to
closing, a slow period of time for business for most of our restaurants),
instituted during the first quarter of our fiscal year end 2010, offset by a
decrease in the cost of ribs during calendar year 2010. We
anticipate that our gross profit for food sales and bar sales will continue to
decrease during the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due to our new restaurant
bar promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing, a slow period of
time for business for most of our restaurants), offset by a decrease in the cost
of ribs during calendar year 2010.
Package Store
Sales. Gross profit for package store sales for the twenty six
weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased to $2,343,000 from $2,091,000 for the twenty
six weeks ended March 28, 2009. Our gross profit margin, (calculated
as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package store sales), was 32.60%
for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 compared to 30.47% for the twenty
six weeks ended March 28, 2009. The increase in our gross profit
margin, (2.13%), was primarily due to the
purchase of "close out" and inventory reduction merchandise from wholesalers. We
anticipate the gross profit margin for package store sales to remain constant
throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 as we expect to continue
purchasing “close out” and inventory reduction merchandise from
wholesalers.
21
Payroll and
Related Costs. Payroll and related
costs for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $657,000 or 6.69%
to $10,472,000 from $9,815,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009 due
primarily to the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant being open during the twenty six
weeks ended April 3, 2010, ($442,000), offset by a reduction of our store level
management. We anticipate that our payroll costs and related expenses
will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to
the payroll and related costs and expenses associated with our Boca Raton,
Florida restaurant. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of
total sales was 29.01% for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and 28.86%
of total sales for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009.
Occupancy
Costs. Occupancy costs
(consisting of rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes and
amortization of leasehold purchases) for the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010 increased $108,000 or 5.47% to $2,082,000 from $1,974,000 for the twenty
six weeks ended March 28, 2009. Our occupancy costs increased
primarily due to the occupancy cost associated with our Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant, offset by the elimination of rent paid for our combination
restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N. University Drive,
Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), the real property and building of which we
purchased during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and a decrease in the
rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th
Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9), at the start of the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2010. We anticipate that our occupancy costs will
increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the
occupancy cost associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset by the
elimination of rent paid for our combination restaurant and package liquor store
located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19) and a
decrease in the rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th
Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9).
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but
not limited to advertising, insurance, professional costs, clerical and
administrative overhead) for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 decreased
$135,000 or 1.91% to $6,923,000 from $7,058,000 for the twenty six weeks ended
March 28, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of total sales for the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010 to 19.18% as compared to 20.75% for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. This decrease is due primarily to reduced advertising expense and property
and workers compensation insurance expenses, offset by the selling, general and
administrative expenses associated with the operation of the Boca Raton, Florida
restaurant and an overall increase in expenses. We anticipate
that throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, our selling, general and
administrative expenses will be consistent with our prior fiscal year, with
increases attributed to the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant
offset by decreases in advertising and insurance expense.
Depreciation and
Amortization. Depreciation for the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 was $1,225,000 and
$1,264,000 respectively. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization expense was 3.39% of revenue in the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010 and 3.72% of revenue in the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009.
Interest Expense,
Net. Interest expense,
net, for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $8,000 to $235,000
from $227,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009. Interest
expense increased during the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 primarily due
to the interest paid on the mortgage associated with the purchase of our
combination restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N. University
Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19),which mortgage did not exist during the
twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009. The interest expense and
principal balance on our line of credit were approximately equal during the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009.
22
Net
Income. Net
income for the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased $102,000 or 11.92%
to $958,000 from $856,000 for the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009. As a percentage of sales, net income for the twenty six weeks
ended April 3, 2010 is 2.65%, as compared to 2.52% for the twenty six weeks
ended March 28, 2009. During the twenty six weeks ended March 28,
2009, we recognized interest income of $124,000 paid on claims we filed in the
liquidation proceedings of Ambassador Insurance Company in 1983 and other income
of $26,000 paid as the balance of our claims (10%) filed in the liquidation
proceedings of Ambassador Insurance Company, offset by income tax of
$44,000. We also adjusted our tax deferred asset by
$122,000. Without giving effect to the above non-recurring items
pertaining to the twenty six weeks ended March 28, 2009, our net income would
have increased $330,000 or 52.55% during the twenty six weeks ended April 3,
2010.
New
Limited Partnership Restaurants
During
the twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010 and the twenty six weeks ended March
28, 2009, we did not have a new restaurant location in the development stage and
did not recognize any pre-opening costs.
While we
currently have no new restaurants under development, if we are to open new
restaurants, our income from operations will be adversely affected due to our
obligation to fund pre-opening costs, including but not limited to pre-opening
rent for the new locations. We believe that our current cash on hand,
together with our cash availability from our line of credit and expected cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital
expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
Trends
During
the next twelve months, we expect continued increases in aggregate food sales
and bar sales as compared to prior periods primarily due to our Boca Raton,
Florida restaurant, as well as an increase in same store food sales and bar
sales because of a new promotion, (50% drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing),
instituted during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010. However,
we expect same store food sales to decline over the next twelve month period due
primarily to the current domestic and global financial crisis and increased
competition. We expect package store sales to remain
stable. We expect higher food costs and higher overall expenses,
which will adversely affect our net income. In December, 2007, we
raised menu prices to offset the higher food costs and overall
expenses. During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we raised
certain of our alcoholic drink prices. We plan to limit menu price
increases as long as possible while maintaining our high quality of food and
service and without reducing our food portions. We have limited our
advertising, but plan to attract and retain our customers by offering
promotional gift cards, but are monitoring the impact of such discounts on our
gross profit. We may be required to raise menu prices wherever
competitively possible.
Although
we have no new restaurant in development, we continue to search for new
locations to open restaurants and thereby expand our business, but we are now
looking for locations that will not require an extensive and costly
renovation. Any new locations will likely be opened using our limited
partnership ownership model.
We are
not actively searching for locations for the operation of new package liquor
stores, but if an appropriate location for a package liquor store becomes
available, we will consider it.
23
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We fund
our operations through cash from operations and borrowings under our line of
credit. As of April 3, 2010, we had cash of approximately $6,997,000,
an increase of $2,417,000 from our cash balance of $4,580,000 as of October 3,
2009. The increase in cash as of April 3, 2010 was primarily from our
operations and due to minimal demand upon our cash flow for extraordinary
items. Management believes that the Company’s current cash
availability from its line of credit and expected cash from operations will be
sufficient to fund operations and capital expenditures for at least the next
twelve months.
Cash
Flows

We have
determined that we must retain any earnings for the development and operation of
our business and accordingly, we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Capital
Expenditures
In
addition to using cash for our operating expenses, we use cash to fund the
development and construction of new restaurants and to fund capitalized property
improvements for our existing restaurants. We acquired property and
equipment of $2,058,000, (including $850,000 of which was financed, $99,000 of
which was the non-cash purchase of the assets of the franchised restaurant and
$20,000 of deposits recorded in other assets as of October 3, 2009), during the
twenty six weeks ended April 3, 2010, including $337,000 for renovations to two
(2) existing Company owned restaurants. During the twenty six weeks
ended March 28, 2009, we acquired property and equipment of $1,093,000,
(including $292,000 of deposits recorded in other assets as of September 27,
2008), including $497,000 for renovations to two (2) existing Company owned
restaurants.
All of
our owned units require periodic refurbishing in order to remain competitive. We
anticipate the cost of this refurbishment in our fiscal year 2010 to be
approximately $565,000, of which $337,000 has been spent through April 3,
2010.
Long
Term Debt
As of
April 3, 2010, we had long term debt, (including our line of credit), of
$7,562,000, as compared to $6,627,000 as of March 28, 2009, and $6,800,000 as of
October 3, 2009.
24
Under a
secured line of credit with a third party financial institution we are able to
borrow up to $2,500,000. The outstanding balance on our line of
credit bears interest at BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%, (2.498% as April 3,
2010), with monthly payments of interest only and the unpaid principal balance
and all accrued interest was due in full on April 7, 2010. We granted
our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a second
mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment
obligations under our credit line. Subsequent to the end of the
second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the maturity date of our line of credit,
(April 7, 2010), was extended until June 5, 2010 while we negotiate a
modification of our line of credit arrangement with our
lender. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid
monthly installments of interest payments, with no borrowings or principal
payments. As of April 3, 2010, the amount outstanding under the line
of credit was $1,586,000, with a remaining availability of
$914,000.
Purchase
Commitments
In order
to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for our
restaurants, on October 21, 2009, we entered into a purchase agreement with our
rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $3,200,000 of baby
back ribs during calendar year 2010 from this vendor at a fixed
cost. While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply from this
vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if
needed.
Working
Capital
The table
below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and working capital
for our fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2010, March 28, 2009 and our fiscal year
ended October 3, 2009.

Our
working capital as of April 3, 2010 increased by 75.54% from the working capital
for the fiscal quarter ending March 28, 2009 and increased by 35.84% from our
working capital for our fiscal year ending October 3, 2009. Our
working capital increased during our fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010 from our
working capital for our fiscal year ended October 3, 2009, notwithstanding our
use of approximately $525,000 in connection with our acquisition of the real
property and building where our combination restaurant and package liquor store
located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida, (Store #19)
operates.
While
there can be no assurance due to, among other things, unanticipated expenses or
unanticipated decline in revenues, or both, we believe that positive cash flow
from operations will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned
capital expenditures throughout the balance of our fiscal year
2010. We also anticipate that during our fiscal year 2010, working
capital will be affected by the payment of the balance for the purchase of a
surveillance camera system ($92,000).
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
The
primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are food, beverage and
labor costs. A large number of restaurant personnel are paid at rates
based upon applicable minimum wage and increases in minimum wage directly affect
labor costs. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our
operating results, but this circumstance may change in the future if food and
fuel costs continue to rise.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
We do not
ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes and as of
April 3, 2010 held no equity securities.
Interest
Rate Risk
At April
3, 2010, of the Company’s debt arrangements, only borrowings under our line of
credit bear interest at BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%. Increases
in interest rates may have a material affect upon results of operations,
depending upon the outstanding principal balance on our line of credit from time
to time.
At April
3, 2010, our cash resources earn interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our
return on these funds is affected by fluctuations in interest
rates.
ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Based on
evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our
management team, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls and Permitted Omission from Management’s
Assessment
Our
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no
matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility
of human error and the circumvention or overriding of
controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can only
provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the period covered by this report, we have not made any change to our internal
control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
