NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
Note 1
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported net earnings.
 
The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010.

Note 2
We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured.  We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product.  Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective.   We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors.  The allowance for doubtful receivables was $616,000 and $591,000 at June 25, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively.
 
Note 3
Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.  Licenses and rights,customer relationships and non compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years.

Note 4
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $600,000 net of tax benefits, or approximately $.03 per share for the fiscal year ending September 24, 2011.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2010 first nine months: expected volatility of 28%; risk-free interest rate of 2.14%; dividend rate of 1.2% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

During the 2010 nine month period, the Company granted 100,330 stock options.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $9.11.  No options were issued in the third quarter of 2010 or in the nine month period ended June 25, 2011.

Expected volatility for both years is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 54 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options.  We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model.  The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

Note 7
We account for our income taxes under the liability method.  Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
  
Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”).  We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.  

 
11

 
 
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $1,125,000 and $1,249,000 on June 25, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized.  We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes.  As of June 25, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively, the Company has $401,000 and $429,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

Note 8
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that amends existing disclosure requirements of fair value measurements adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 26, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption has not and will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
      
In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires that if a company presents comparative financial statements to include business combinations, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance will be effective for our second quarter of fiscal year 2012, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 
12

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which gives us the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both options, we are required to present each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2013, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to goodwill impairment testing for reporting entities with a zero or negative carrying amount.  Under the amended guidance, we must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount.  If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any.   This guidance is effective for our fiscal year 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 10
We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries.  Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements.  We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.

We have applied no aggregation criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments.  Our three reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. The Restaurant Group, operator of two BAVARIAN PRETZEL BAKERY retail stores with sales of $502,000 in the nine months ended June 25, 2011, has been included in Food Service because it no longer meets the quantitative thresholds under the guidance for reportable segments to be shown separately. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income (loss). These segments are described below.

Food Service

The primary products sold by the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros, dough enrobed handheld products and baked goods.  Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; malls and shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions.  Within the food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.

 
14

 

Retail Supermarkets

The primary products sold by the retail supermarket segment are soft pretzel products – including SUPERPRETZEL, frozen juice treats and desserts including LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars, WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes, dough enrobed handheld products and TIO PEPE’S Churros.  Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.
 
Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry, including our restaurant group, primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE, PARROT ICE and ARCTIC BLAST in the United States, Mexico and Canada.  We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service and Retail Supermarkets and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment.  In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment. Information regarding the operations in these three reportable segments is as follows:

 Amortized intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. Intangible assets of $1,532,000 were acquired in the food service and retail supermarkets segments in the three months ended June 25, 2011, in the handhelds acquisition.  Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended
June 25, 2011 and June 26 2010 was $1,127,000 and $1,149,000 respectively and for the nine months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 was $3,676,000  and $3,394,000 respectively.
 
Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $4,800,000 in 2011, $4,500,000 in 2012, and $4,400,000 in 2013 and 2014 and $4,300,000 in 2015. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.1 years.

       There were no changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the three months ended June 25, 2011.
 
Note 12
We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity.  The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
      
Level 1
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to
develop its own assumptions.

 
18

 
 
We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value.  Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.

A gain of $27,000 was recorded in the nine months ended June 25, 2011 with no gain recorded in the three months ended June 25, 2011.  We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.
 
Note 13
In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  Revenues from Parrot Ice were approximately $1.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.
 
On June 10, 2010, we acquired the assets of California Churros, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand churro.  Revenues from CALIFORNIA CHURROS were approximately $2.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.
 
In May 2011, we acquired the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods.  This business had sales of approximately $50 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers.
 
These acquisitions were and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and their operations are and will be included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

Acquisition costs of $464,000 and $534,000 for the handhelds acquisition are included in other general expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011, respectively.
 
The goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the business combinations are recorded at fair value.  To measure fair value for such assets, we use techniques including discounted expected future cash flows (Level 3 input).
 
Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current cash and cash equivalents balances and cash expected to be provided by future operations are our primary sources of liquidity.  We believe that these sources, along with our borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion.  See Note 12 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.1175 per share of its common stock payable on July 6, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2011.

In the year ended September 25, 2010, we purchased and retired 203,507 shares of our common stock at a cost of $7,768,000 under a million share buyback authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2008 leaving 210,772 as the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the share buyback authorization.

In the three months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused a decrease of $29,000   and an increase of $98,000 respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  In the nine month periods, there was a decrease of $510,000 in fiscal year 2011 and a decrease of $453,000    in fiscal year 2010.

In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  Revenues from Parrot Ice were approximately $1.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

In June 2010, we acquired the assets of California Churros, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand churro. California Churros had revenue of approximately $2.5 million in our 2010 fiscal year.

In May 2011, we acquired the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods.  This business had sales of approximately $50 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers.
 
    Our general-purpose bank credit line which expires in December 2011 provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility.  The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no outstanding balances under this facility at June 25, 2011.
 
Results of Operations

Net sales increased $16,599,000 or 9% for the three months to $206,328,000 and $28,499,000 or 6% to $524,691,000 for the nine months ended June 25, 2011 compared to the three and nine months ended June 26, 2010.

Excluding sales from the acquisition of Parrot Ice in February 2010, California Churros in June 2010 and the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods in May 2011, sales increased 4% for the three months and 3% for the nine months.

FOOD SERVICE

Sales to food service customers increased $8,740,000 or 8% in the third quarter to $121,379,000 and increased $14,910,000 or 5% for the nine months.  Excluding sales from the acquisition of California Churros and handheld sales, food service sales increased 2% for the quarter and were up 1% for the nine months. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 5% to $26,686,000 in the third quarter and increased 2% to $76,342,000 in the nine months due primarily to increased sales to chain restaurants in the third quarter. Frozen juices and ices sales increased 8% to $17,176,000 in the three months and 8% to $35,904,000 in the nine months primarily as the result of higher sales to school food service accounts.  Churro sales to food service customers increased 37% to $11,004,000 in the third quarter and were up 42% to $31,258,000 in the nine months.  Without sales from California Churros, churros sales for the quarter were down about 5% and for the nine months were essentially unchanged.

Sales of bakery products, excluding biscuit and dumpling sales and fruit and fig bar sales, increased $1,485,000 or 4% in the third quarter to $43,342,000 and increased $4,229,000 or 3% for the nine months due primarily to increased sales to private label customers.  Biscuit and dumpling sales increased 7% to $7,119,000 in the quarter and were up 4% to $26,366,000 for the nine months. Sales of fig and fruit bars decreased 11% in the third quarter to $7,619,000 and decreased 13% in the nine months to $21,389,000 with lower sales spread across many customers for many reasons.  Handheld sales to food service customers were $2,835,000 in the quarter and year to date.

Funnel cake sales decreased by $788,000 to $5,153,000 in the quarter and by $3,346,000 to $13,609,000 in the nine months with sales to one customer down $3,021,000, or 100%, in the quarter and down $7,240,000 or 69%, in the nine months.  This one customer accounted for $12.7 million of funnel cake fries in our fiscal year 2010, of which $2.2 million were in the last three months.  We anticipate no sales to this customer in the last three months of fiscal year 2011.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.3 million in the June quarter and $9.1 million in the nine months. Price increases accounted for approximately $3.5 million of sales in the June quarter and $6.1 million of sales in the nine months and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and sales resulting from the acquisition of California Churros and handheld sales, accounted for approximately $5.2 million of sales in the June quarter and $8.8 million of sales in the nine months.

Operating income in our Food Service segment decreased from $14,610,000 to $13,875,000 in the quarter and from $37,941,000 to $36,795,000 for the nine months primarily as a result of higher ingredient and packaging costs of about $5.5 million in the quarter and about $10.0 million for the nine months partially offset by higher pricing and the benefit of increased volumes.

RETAIL SUPERMARKETS

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $3,898,000 or 16% to $27,840,000 in the third quarter and were up 14% to $59,150,000 in the first nine months. Excluding handheld sales for the quarter and for the nine months, sales increased 5% for the quarter and increased 9% for the nine months. Soft pretzel sales for the third quarter were up 5% to $7,524,000 and were up 4% to $23,972,000 for the nine months on unit volume increases of 4% for the quarter and 2% for the nine months.  Sales of frozen juices and ices increased $596,000 or  3% to $17,943,000 in the third quarter and were up 11% to $33,419,000 in the first nine months on a unit volume increase of 2% in the quarter and 11% for the nine months. Coupon redemption costs, a reduction of sales, increased 7% or about $142,000 for the nine months and were up $173,000 or 23% in the quarter. Handheld sales to retail supermarket customers were $2,807,000 in the quarter and year to date.

Sales of products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.6 million in the June quarter and $2.8 million in the nine months. Price increases accounted for approximately $1.3 million of sales in the June quarter and $1.8 million of sales in the nine months and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and handheld sales and net of decreased coupon costs, accounted for approximately $2.6 million of sales in the June quarter and $5.8 million of sales in the nine months.  Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment decreased from $3,809,000 to $3,545,000 in the quarter and increased to $7,677,000 from $7,467,000 in the nine months.  Operating income in the quarter was impacted by additional trade spending of about $450,000 related to the introduction of our SUPERPRETZEL PRETZELDOGS hot dog product and by higher product costs related to ingredient and packaging cost increases.  The increase in operating income for the year was primarily the result of higher volume.
 
FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased 7% to $57,109,000 in the third quarter and increased $6,109,000 or 5% to $131,064,000 in the nine-month period.  Beverage sales alone increased 6% to $41,260,000 in the third quarter and were up 4% to $89,789,000 in the nine months. Gallon sales were up 2% for the three months and essentially unchanged for the nine months in our base ICEE business.  Service revenue increased 6% to $11,078,000   in the third quarter and 3% to $30,831,000 for the nine months.

Sales of beverage machines, which tend to fluctuate from year to year while following no specific trend, were $989,000 higher this year than last in the three month period and for the nine months, sales of machines were higher by $2,100,000. The estimated number of company owned frozen beverage dispensers was 39,300 and 37,600 at June 25, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively.  Operating income in our Frozen Beverage segment increased $1,998,000 to $9,641,000 in the quarter and for the nine months, operating income increased $551,000 primarily due to higher third quarter revenues combined with lower operating expenses in the quarter. Higher gasoline costs of approximately $475,000 and $900,000 impacted the June quarter and nine months, respectively.  We expect higher gasoline costs to impact operating income for at least the balance of our fiscal year.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 32.73% in the three month period from 34.28% last year and decreased to 31.00% in the nine month period from 32.42% a year ago.  Higher ingredient and packaging costs compared to last year of approximately $6 million for the quarter and $11 million for the nine months was primarily responsible for the decreased gross profit percentages. Ingredient and packaging costs can be extremely volatile and may be significantly different from what we are presently expecting and therefore we cannot project the impact of ingredient and packaging costs on our business going forward; however, there has been a very significant increase in the market cost of flour since June 2010 and the cost of other commodities has increased as well over the past year.  We anticipate these market cost increases will result in higher costs to the company over the remaining three months of our fiscal year 2011.  Although we have implemented price increases to defray the impact of a portion or all of these cost increases, the impact of these higher costs and increased costs in operational areas may result in lower net earnings over the remaining three months of our fiscal year 2011 compared to our fiscal year 2010.

Total operating expenses increased $1,511,000 in the third quarter but as a percentage of sales decreased about one percent to 20% in this year.  For the nine months, operating expenses increased $2,202,000, but as a percentage of sales decreased about 3/4 of one percent to 21% of sales.  Marketing expenses decreased to 9% of sales in the quarter from 10% last year and to 10% of sales from 11% of sales for the nine months.  Moderate spending decreases throughout our business and higher sales accounted for the percent of sales decrease.  Distribution expenses were 7% in both years' quarter and 8% in both years' nine months.  Administrative expenses were 3% of sales in both years' third quarter and declined slightly to 3% of sales in the nine months from 4% last year.

Other general expenses this year included about $464,000 and $534,000 of costs related to the handhelds acquisition in the three and nine months, respectively.

Operating income increased $999,000 or 4% to $27,061,000 in the third quarter and decreased $385,000 or less than one percent to $51,988,000 in the nine months as a result of the aforementioned items.

Gain on the bargain purchase of a business of $6,580,000 in the third quarter resulted from the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired in the handhelds acquisition exceeding the purchase price.

Investment income decreased by $31,000 and $182,000 in the third quarter and nine months, respectively, due to a general decline in the level of interest rates.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 31%     and 40% for the quarter this year and last year respectively; and at 34% and 40% for the nine months this year and last year respectively. Adjusting out the effect of the gain on bargain purchase of a business, the effective income tax rate has been estimated at 39% and 38% for the quarter and nine months of this year, respectively. We are estimating an effective income tax rate of between 38% and 39% for the year after adjusting out the effect of the gain on bargain purchase of a business.

Net earnings increased $7,465,000 or 47% in the current three month period to $23,326,000 and increased 22% to $39,079,000 in the nine months this year from $31,952,000 last year as a result of the aforementioned items.  Without the benefit of the gain on bargain purchase of a business, net earnings were $16,746,000 in the quarter compared to $15,861,000 last year and were $32,499,000 in the nine months compared to $31,952,000 last year.

There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.
