Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 - Business and basis of presentation:

Principles of consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. and subsidiaries include the accounts of ONE Group and its subsidiaries, Little West 12th LLC (“Little West 12th” ), One-LA, L.P. (“One LA”), Bridge Hospitality, LLC (“Bridge”), STK-LA, LLC (“STK-LA”), WSATOG (Miami), LLC (“WSATOG”), STK Miami Service, LLC (“Miami Services”), STK Miami, LLC (“STK Miami Beach”), Basement Manager, LLC (“Basement Manager”), JEC II, LLC (“JEC II”), One Marks, LLC (“One Marks”), MPD Space Events LLC (“MPD”), One 29 Park Management, LLC (“One 29 Park Management”), STK Midtown Holdings, LLC (“Midtown Holdings”), STK Midtown, LLC (“STK Midtown”), STKOUT Midtown, LLC (“STKOUT Midtown”), STK Atlanta, LLC (“STK Atlanta”), STK-Las Vegas, LLC (“STK Vegas”), Asellina Marks LLC (“Asellina Marks”), Heraea Vegas, LLC (“Heraea”), Xi Shi Las Vegas, LLC (“Xi Shi Las Vegas”), T.O.G. (UK) Limited (“TOG UK”), Hip Hospitality Limited (“Hip Hospitality UK”), T.O.G. (Aldwych) Limited (“TOG Aldwych”), CA Aldwych Limited (“CA Aldwych"), T.O.G. (Milan) S.r.l. ("TOG Milan"), BBCLV, LLC (“BBCLV”), STK DC, LLC (“STK DC”), STK Orlando, LLC ("STK Orlando"), STK Chicago, LLC ("STK Chicago"), TOG Biscayne, LLC ("TOG Biscayne"), STK Westwood, LLC ("STK Westwood"), STK Denver, LLC ("STK Denver"), STK Texas Holdings, LLC ("Texas Holdings"), STK Texas Holdings II, LLC ("Texas Holdings II"), STK Dallas, LLC ("STK Dallas"), STK Austin, LLC ("STK Austin"), STK San Diego, LLC ("STK San Diego"), STK Rooftop San Diego, LLC ("STK Rooftop San Diego"), 9401415 Canada Ltd. ("STK Toronto"), STK (Edinburgh) Limited ("STK Edinburgh"), and STK Ibiza, LLC ("STK Ibiza"). The entities are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” or “Companies,” as appropriate, and are consolidated on the basis of common ownership and control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if common stock equivalent securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Fair value measurements

The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short term nature of the financial instruments.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation in the consolidated financial statements.

Nature of business:

The Company is a hospitality company that develops and operates upscale, high-energy restaurants and lounges and provides turn-key food and beverage ("F&B") services for hospitality venues including hotels, casinos and other high-end locations in the United States and England. We opened our first restaurant in January 2004 in New York City and as of May 16, 2016, we owned and operated (under lease agreements) 12 and managed (under management agreements) 15 restaurants and lounges globally, including ten STKs in major metropolitan cities in the United States and Europe (of which seven are owned and three managed). In addition, we provide F&B services in five hotels and casinos, one of which is under a lease agreement and four of which are under separate management agreements. We generate management and incentive fee revenue from those restaurants and lounges that we manage on behalf of our F&B hospitality clients.

Unaudited interim financial information:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period or other future year. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2016.

Note 2 – Recent accounting pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 addresses the reporting of revenue by most entities and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. This update is effective in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The impact on our financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 is currently being assessed by management and management will make its determination of the impact in fiscal 2017.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The impact on our financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 is currently being assessed by management.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The impact on our financial statements of adopting ASU 2015-02 is currently being assessed by management.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. For public companies, this update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is subsequently updated by ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements," which codifies an SEC staff announcement relative to debt issuance costs for line-of-credit arrangements. The Company does not expect these updates to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The update states that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and “net realizable value.” Net realizable value is defined as the “estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.” ASU 2015-11 eliminates the guidance that entities consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin in the subsequent measurement of inventory when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis.

The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet concluded whether it will adopt ASU 2015-11 prior to the effective date.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Subtopic 740)." This ASU requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current in the statement of financial position. The provisions of ASU 2015-17 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has elected, as permitted by the standard, to early adopt ASU 2015-17 as of December 31, 2015. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10)." ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments and requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The provisions of ASU 2016-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 will require an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and includes an option for entities to early adopt. The guidance requires a retrospective cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the period of initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification, and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The transition method is either prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective, depending on the area covered in this update. The Company is still in the process of analyzing the effects of this new standard to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and related disclosures.

This second term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.0%. Our obligations under the Second Term Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.

Note 8 - Nonconsolidated variable interest entities:

GAAP provides a framework for identifying variable interest entities (VIEs) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive returns of the entity. A VIE should be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual, or other financial interest in the VIE that is considered a variable interest (a variable interest holder) has the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held investments that were evaluated against the criteria for consolidation and determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the investments because the Company lacks the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impacts their economic performance. Therefore, consolidation in the Company’s financial statements is not required. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held the following equity investments:

Note 10 – Derivative liability:

On October 16, 2013, the Company, formerly known as Committed Capital Acquisition Corporation ("Committed Capital"), closed a merger transaction (the “Merger”) with The ONE Group, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company (“ONE Group”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CCAC Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Committed Capital (“Merger Sub”), ONE Group and Samuel Goldfinger as ONE Group Representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ONE Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Committed Capital through a merger of Merger Sub with and into ONE Group, and the former members of ONE Group received shares of Committed Capital that constituted a majority of the outstanding shares of Committed Capital.

The Merger provided for up to an additional $14,100,000 of payments to the former holders of ONE Group membership interests (the "TOG Members") and to a liquidating trust (the "Liquidating Trust") established for the benefit of the TOG Members and the holders of warrants to acquire membership interests of ONE Group based on a formula as described in the Merger Agreement and which is contingent upon the exercise of outstanding Company warrants to purchase 5,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “Public Warrants”). The Company was required to make any payments on a monthly basis.

Additionally, certain ONE Group employees were entitled to receive a contingent sign-on bonus of an aggregate of approximately $900,000 upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. Any Public Warrants that were unexercised were set to expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) February 27, 2016 or (ii) the forty-fifth (45th) day following the date that the Company’s common stock closes at or above $6.25 per share for 20 out of 30 trading days commencing on February 27, 2014.

The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability based on the period of time between the balance sheet date and the exercise date and the remote possibility of exercise. The Public Warrants expired on February 27, 2016 and the remaining balance was written off during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Note 13 - Litigation:

The Company is party to claims in lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 14 - Stockholders’ equity:

The Company is authorized by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 24,989,560 and 24,972,515, outstanding shares of common stock, respectively, and no outstanding shares of preferred stock. As a result of the expiration of the Public Warrants, an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of common stock were forfeited by the Company's initial shareholders that held shares prior to the Company's initial public offering and such shares were canceled.

On January 19, 2016, the Company commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) of non-transferable subscription rights to holders of record of its common stock as of January 15, 2016 to purchase up to 1,454,545 shares of common stock. The Company granted holders of its common stock non-transferable subscription rights to purchase one share of common stock at a subscription price of $2.75 per share. Each holder received one subscription right for each 17.16861 shares of common stock owned on January 15, 2016. Each subscription right entitled its holder to purchase one share of common stock at the subscription price. The Rights Offering which closed on February 9, 2016, generated approximately $4 million in gross proceeds. The Company issued a total of 1,454,545 shares of common stock at $2.75 per share, including 632,582 shares issued to holders upon exercise of their basic subscription rights. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million following the deduction of expenses. The Company expects to utilize the net proceeds of the Rights Offering to primarily fund the planned development of future STK restaurants.

Note 15 - Stock-based compensation:

In October 2013, the board of directors approved the 2013 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may issue options, warrants, restricted stock or other stock-based awards to directors, officers, key employees and other key individuals performing services for the Company. The 2013 Plan has reserved 4,773,992 shares of common stock for issuance. All awards will be approved by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors to be established for such purpose.

The Company’s outstanding stock options have maximum contractual terms of up to ten years, principally vest on a quarterly basis ratably over five years and were granted at exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s outstanding stock options are exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant in accordance with the modified prospective method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for purposes of determining the fair value of stock options granted and recognizes compensation costs ratably over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. For restricted stock awards, the grant-date fair value is the quoted market price of the stock.

As of March 31, 2016, all 1,407,512 options outstanding were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive as the exercise price of these grants are above the average market price.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $143,967 and $178,000, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to options, respectively, in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation grants, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

A summary of the status of stock option awards and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2016 are presented below:



	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Intrinsic Value

Outstanding at December 31, 2015	1,672,578	$	5.01

Cancelled, expired, or forfeited	265,066	$	4.96
Outstanding at March 31, 2016	1,407,512	$	4.97	7.93	$	—
Exercisable at March 31, 2016	633,539	$	5.01	7.93	$	—

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of option awards vested and non-vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.86.

Note 16 - Segment reporting:

The Company operates in three segments: owned STK units ("STKs"), F&B hospitality management agreements ("F&B") and Other concepts ("Other"). We believe STKs, F&B and Other to be our reportable segments as they do not have similar economic or other characteristics to be aggregated into a single reportable segment. Our STKs segment consists of leased restaurant locations and competes in the full service dining industry. Our F&B segment consists of management agreements in which the Company operates the food and beverage services in hotels or casinos and could include an STK, which we refer to as managed STK units. We refer to owned STK units and managed STK units together as “STK units.” These management agreements generate management and incentive fees on net revenue at each location. Our Other segment includes owned non-STK leased locations.

Note 18 - Income taxes:

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $65,951 and $610,495 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 10.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 33.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The net decrease in the effective tax rate, exclusive of the discrete tax expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015. The valuation allowance was released on June 30, 2015.

Note 19 - Subsequent events:

On April 1, 2016, the Company issued 250,000 share incentive stock option to an employee. The award has an exercise price of $2.83, a term of 10 years and a vesting period of five years.

April 8, 2016, the Company issued incentive stock options and restricted stock unit awards to certain employees. The total number of stock option awards issued is 1,000,000. These awards have an exercise price of $2.73, a term of 10 years and a vesting period of five years. Stock option awards issued to certain executives also have additional vesting conditions based on stock price performance targets. The total number of restricted stock unit awards issued is 787,500. These awards have a term of 10 years and a vesting period of five years.

Overview

We are a global hospitality company that develops, owns and operates upscale, high-energy restaurants and lounges and provides turn-key food and beverage or "F&B" services for hospitality venues including hotels, casinos and other high-end locations globally. We opened our first restaurant in January 2004 in New York City and as of May 16, 2016, we owned and operated (under lease agreements) 12 and managed (under management agreements) 15 restaurants and lounges globally, including ten STKs in major metropolitan cities in the United States and Europe (of which seven are owned and three managed). In addition, we provided F&B services in five hotels and casinos, one of which is under a lease agreement and four of which are under separate management agreements. We generate management and incentive fee revenue from those restaurants and lounges that we manage on behalf of our F&B hospitality clients. The average unit volume, check average and beverage mix for STK restaurants that have been open a full twelve months at March 31, 2016 were $10.9 million, $118.32 and 39%, respectively.

In addition to operating stand-alone restaurants, we also operate turn-key F&B services at high-end hotels and casinos, which, in some cases, include upscale restaurants, such as STK. Our diversified portfolio of differentiated, high-energy F&B hospitality solutions provides landlords and owners a choice of having one or several of our concepts and/or services in their venues. These locations are typically operated under our management agreements under which we earn a management fee based on revenue and an incentive fee based on profitability of the underlying operations. We typically target F&B hospitality opportunities where we believe we can generate initially $500,000 to $750,000 of annual pre-tax income. We also own or manage a small number of other standalone restaurants and lounges.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $562,000 compared to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $1.2 million, and included income from discontinued operations of $1,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and a loss from discontinued operations of $3,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The income from discontinued operations reflects our exiting of non-strategic and underperforming units during these periods and the results of operations during the wind down period. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 included non-cash derivative income of $100,000 and derivative expense of $614,000, respectively.

On March 13, 2015, after hotel renovations and additional work required due to water damage were completed, we reopened STK Miami Beach in the new 1 Hotel & Homes (formerly known as The Perry Hotel) building located in Miami Beach, Florida. We filed a claim with our insurance carrier of approximately $1.5 million, which included claims of approximately $500,000 for property damages and approximately $1.0 million for expense reimbursement and business interruption, these claims were fully satisfied as of December 31, 2015.

Recent Developments

Rights Offering

On January 19, 2016, we commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) of non-transferable subscription rights to holders of record of our common stock as of January 15, 2016 to purchase up to 1,454,545 shares of our common stock. We granted holders of our common stock non-transferable subscription rights to purchase one share of our common stock at a subscription price of $2.75 per share. Each holder received one subscription right for each 17.16861 shares of common stock owned on January 15, 2016. Each subscription right entitled its holder to purchase one share of our common stock at the subscription price. The Rights Offering which closed on February 9, 2016, generated approximately $4 million in gross proceeds. We issued a total of 1,454,545 shares of common stock at $2.75 per share, including 632,582 shares issued to holders upon exercise of their basic subscription rights. We received net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million following the deduction of expenses. We expect to utilize the net proceeds of the Rights Offering to primarily fund the planned development of our future STK restaurants.

Expiration of Public Warrants

On February 27, 2016, our 5,750,000 Public Warrants expired. Each Public Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Our Public Warrants traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “STKSW.” As a result of the expiration of the Public Warrants, an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of common stock were forfeited by our initial stockholders that held shares prior to our initial public offering and such shares were cancelled.

Our Growth Strategies and Outlook

Our growth model is comprised of the following four primary drivers:

Expansion of STK. We have identified up to 50 additional major metropolitan markets globally where we could grow our STK brand over time. We expect to open as many as two to three STKs annually in the next three years and to target approximately 25% annual unit growth thereafter provided that we have enough capital, acceptable locations and quality restaurant managers available to support that pace of growth. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to open new STKs at the rate we currently expect or that our pipeline of planned offerings will be fully realized.

Expansion Through New F&B Hospitality Projects. We believe we are well positioned to leverage the strength of our brands and the relationships we have developed with global hospitality providers to drive the continued growth of our F&B hospitality projects, which traditionally have provided fee income with minimal capital expenditures. We continue to receive significant inbound inquiries regarding new services in new hospitality opportunities globally and to work with existing hospitality clients to identify and develop additional opportunities in their venues. Going forward, we expect to target at least one to two new F&B hospitality projects every 12 months. However, we cannot control the timing and number of acceptable opportunities that will be offered to us for our consideration.

Expand Our Non-STK Concepts and Services. We believe our existing restaurant concepts and F&B hospitality services have significant room to grow and that our presence, brand recognition and operating performance from our continuing operations provide us with the ability to expand these concepts in the North American and international markets, with near term focus on Europe and in the longer term, Asia and the Middle East.

Increase Our Operating Efficiency. In addition to expanding into new cities and hospitality venues, we intend to increase revenue and profits in our existing operations. Our long term growth model targets store sales growth of approximately 0% to 1% annually, as a result of our renewed focus on this aspect of our growth plan. We also expect operating margin improvements as our restaurants and services mature. However, there can be no assurances that any increases in same store sales or operating margins will be achieved. Furthermore, as our footprint continues to increase in scale, we expect to benefit by leveraging system-wide operating efficiencies and best practices.

Key Performance Indicators

We use the following key performance indicators in evaluating our restaurants and assessing our business:

Number of Restaurant Openings. Number of restaurant openings reflects the number of restaurants opened during a particular fiscal period. For each restaurant opening, we incur pre-opening costs, which are defined below. Typically, new restaurants open with an initial start-up period of higher than normalized sales volumes (also referred to in the restaurant industry as the “honeymoon” period), which decrease to a steady level approximately 18 months after opening. However, operating costs during this initial 18 month period are also higher than normal, resulting in restaurant operating margins that are generally lower during the start-up period of operation and increase to a steady level approximately 18 months after opening. Some new restaurants may experience a “honeymoon” period either shorter or longer than 18 months.

Average Check. Average check is calculated by dividing total restaurant sales by total entrees sold for a given time period. Our management team uses this indicator to analyze trends in customers’ preferences, effectiveness of menu changes and price increases, and per customer expenditures.

Average Comparable Unit Volume. Average comparable unit volume consists of the average sales of our comparable restaurants over a certain period of time. This measure is calculated by dividing total comparable restaurant sales in a given period by the total number of comparable restaurants in that period. This indicator assists management in measuring changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of our brand.

Comparable Unit Sales. We consider a unit to be comparable, whether owned or managed, in the first full quarter following the 18th month of operations to remove the impact of new unit openings in comparing the operations of existing units. Changes in comparable unit sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable group of units over a specified period of time. Changes in comparable sales reflect changes in customer count trends as well as changes in average check, which reflects both menu mix shifts and menu pricing. Our comparable unit base consisted of five units for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We believe that certain of our restaurants operate at or near their effective productive capacities. As a result, we may be unable to grow comparable restaurant sales at those restaurants.

Key Financial Terms and Metrics

We evaluate our business using a variety of key financial measures:

Segment reporting

We operate in three segments: owned STK units ("STKs"), food and beverage hospitality management agreements ("F&B") and Other concepts ("Other"). We believe STKs, F&B and Other to be our reportable segments as they do not have similar economic or other characteristics to be aggregated into a single reportable segment. Our STKs segment consists of leased restaurant locations and competes in the full service dining industry. Our F&B segment consists of management agreements in which we operate the F&B services in hotels, casinos and other high-end locations globally and includes an STK, which we refer to as managed STK units. We refer to owned STK units and managed STK units together as “STK units.” These management agreements generate management and incentive fees on net revenue at each location. Our Other segment includes owned non-STK leased locations.

Revenues

Owned unit net revenue. Owned unit net revenues, which includes STKs and Other segment brands, consists of food, beverage, and miscellaneous merchandise sales net of any discounts, such as management and employee meals, associated with each sale. As of March 31, 2016, beverage sales comprised 42% of STKs and Other food and beverage sales, before giving effect to any discounts, with food comprising the remaining 58%. This indicator assists management in understanding the trends in gross margins of the units.

Management and incentive fee revenue. Management and incentive fee revenue includes: (1) management fees received pursuant to management agreements with hospitality clients that are calculated based on a fixed percentage of revenues; and (2) incentive fees based on operating profitability, as defined by each agreement. We evaluate the performance of our managed properties based on sales growth, which drives our management fee, and on improvements in operating profitability margins, which along with sales growth, drives incentive fee growth.

Our primary restaurant brand is STK and we specifically look at comparable revenues from both owned and managed STKs in either a leased or F&B location in order to understand customer count trends and changes in average check as it relates to our primary restaurant brand.

Cost and expenses

Food and beverage costs. Food and beverage costs include all unit-level food and beverage costs of STKs and Other units. We measure cost of goods as a percentage of owned unit net revenues. Food and beverage costs are generally influenced by the cost of food and beverage items, menu mix and discounting activity. Purchases of beef represent approximately 30% of our current food and beverage costs.

Unit operating expenses. We measure unit operating expenses for STKs and Other units as a percentage of owned unit net revenues. Unit operating expenses include the following:

Payroll and related expenses. Payroll and related expenses consists of manager salaries, hourly staff payroll and other payroll-related items, including taxes and fringe benefits. We measure our labor cost efficiency by tracking total labor costs as a percentage of food and beverage revenues.

Occupancy. Occupancy comprises all occupancy costs, consisting of both fixed and variable portions of rent, deferred rent expense, which is a non-cash adjustment included in our Adjusted EBITDA calculation as defined below, common area maintenance charges, real estate property taxes, utilities and other related occupancy costs and is measured by tracking occupancy as a percentage of revenues.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses consists of supplies, such as paper, small wares, china, silverware and glassware, cleaning supplies and laundry and linen costs and typically tracks revenues.

Outside services. Outside services includes music and entertainment costs, such as the use of live DJ’s, promoter costs, security services, outside cleaning services at certain locations and commissions paid to event staff for banquet sales.

Repairs and maintenance. Repairs and maintenance consists of facility and computer maintenance contracts as well as general repair work to maintain the facilities. These costs will typically increase as the facility gets older.

Marketing. Marketing includes the cost of goods used specifically for complimentary purposes as well as general public relation costs related to the specific unit, but excluding any discounts such as management and employee meals. Marketing costs will typically be higher during the first 18 months of a unit’s operations.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses are comprised of all corporate overhead expenses, including payroll and related benefits, professional fees, such as legal and accounting fees, insurance and travel expenses. Certain general and administrative expenses are allocated specifically to units and are credited and include shared services such as reservations, events and marketing. General and administrative expenses are expected to grow as we grow, including payroll needed to support our growth, legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred as a public company.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization consists principally of charges related to the depreciation of fixed assets including leasehold improvements, equipment and furniture and fixtures. As we accelerate our restaurant openings, depreciation and amortization is expected to increase as a result of our increased capital expenditures.

Management and royalty fees. In certain of our units, we pay outside third parties a management fee based on a percentage of sales or a fixed fee. Historically, a majority of management fees related to one property, Tenjune, and related to the use of an outside management company to operate this lounge concept. This management agreement was terminated in February 2013. Royalty fees are paid to the 50% owner of the trademark rights to the name “Asellina” and “Cucina Asellina.”

Pre-opening expenses. Pre-opening expenses consist of costs incurred prior to opening an owned or managed STK unit in either a leased or F&B location which are comprised principally of non-cash deferred rent expense, manager salaries and relocation costs, employee payroll and related training costs for new employees and lease costs incurred prior to opening. We expect these costs to increase as we accelerate our company-owned restaurant openings, which may have a material impact on our operating results in future periods. Pre-opening expenses vary from location to location depending on a number of factors, including the proximity of our existing restaurants; the amount of rent expensed during the construction and in-restaurant training periods; the size and physical layout of each location; the number of management and hourly employees required to operate each restaurant; the relative difficulty of the restaurant staffing process; the cost of travel and lodging for different metropolitan areas; the timing of the restaurant opening; and the extent of unexpected delays, if any, in obtaining necessary licenses and permits to open the restaurant.

Equity in (income) loss of subsidiaries. This represents the income or loss that we record under the equity method for entities that are not consolidated. Included in this amount is our ownership in Bagatelle New York for which we have effective ownership of approximately 51% representing 5.23% ownership directly by us and 45.90% ownership through two of our subsidiaries.

Provision for income taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Adjustments for noncontrolling interest. This represents the allocation of net income or loss attributable to the minority interest in those of our subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, deferred rent, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, transaction costs, losses from discontinued operations, derivative income (expense) and stock based compensation. EBITDA and

Adjusted EBITDA have been presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are supplemental measures of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are more appropriate measures of operating performance, as they provide a clearer picture of our operating results by eliminating certain non-cash expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business as well as evaluate the performance of our units. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is a key metric used by management. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA, alongside other GAAP measures such as net income (loss), to measure profitability, as a key profitability target in our annual and other budgets, and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information facilitating operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company.

(1)	Deferred rent is included in unit operating expenses on the statement of income.

Adjusted Net (Loss) income. We define Adjusted Net (loss) income as Net (loss) income before discontinued operations, non-recurring gains, transaction costs, derivative expense, stock based compensation, non-cash impairment losses, and non-recurring acceleration of depreciation. Adjusted Net (loss) income has been presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted Net (loss) income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We believe that Adjusted Net (loss) income provides a clearer picture of our operating results by eliminating certain non-cash expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We use this metric to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Revenues

Owned unit net revenues. Owned unit net revenues for STKs increased $5.1 million, or 60.3%, from $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to the reopening of our STK in Miami and the opening of our STKs in Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois. Comparable owned STK unit sales increased $174,000, or 2.4% from $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Owned unit net revenues in our Other segment decreased $490,000, or 41.2%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $700,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales at Cucina Asellina in Atlanta and a decrease in revenue from off-site Super Bowl related catering events.

Management and incentive fee revenue. Management and incentive fee revenues decreased $37,000, or 1.8%, from $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in revenues from our UK operations which included a decline in currency exchange rates compared to the same period in 2015 as well as a slight decline in our incentive fee revenue for our STK in Las Vegas. This was partially offset by an increase in our management fee revenue at TOG Milan which was not in operation at March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, there was no accrual for incentive fee income from our UK operations.

Revenue generated from these restaurants, lounges, and F&B services at hospitality venues impacts both our owned unit net revenues and the amount of management and incentive fees earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, comparable unit sales of owned or managed STK increased 2.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Costs and Expenses

Food and beverage costs. Food and beverage costs for STKs increased $1.2 million, or 52.9%, from $2.2 million or 26.0% of owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $3.4 million or 24.8% of owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in food and beverage costs related primarily to the reopening of our STK in Miami and the opening of our STKs in Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois. Food revenues as a percentage of total food and beverage revenues for locations open for the entire period were approximately 59% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Food cost as a percentage of food revenues are typically higher than beverage cost as a percentage of beverage revenues.

Food and beverage costs in our Other segment decreased $141,000, or 50.2%, from $281,000 or 23.6% of other owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $140,000 or 20.0% of owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Unit operating expenses. Unit operating expenses for STKs increased $3.1 million, or 51.9%, from $6.0 million or 70.2% of owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $9.1 million or 66.5% of owned unit net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the reopening of our STK in Miami and the opening of our STKs in Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois. Unit operating costs in our Other segment decreased $871,000, or 85.7%, from $1.0 million at March 31, 2015 to $145,000 at March 31, 2016.

General and administrative. General and administrative costs increased $239,000 to $2.7 million, or 9.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was due to additional payroll related to the expansion of our corporate infrastructure to help facilitate our long-term growth in the United States and internationally as well as an increase in professional fees. General and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The year-over-year decrease was largely attributable to the leverage in our sales increases slightly offset by an increase in payroll and professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $102,000, or 24.4%, from $420,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $523,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to the reopening of the STK in Miami and the opening of our STKs in Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois, partially offset by the impairment of the fixed assets at our STK in Washington, DC.

Management and royalty fees. Management and royalty fees decreased to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $25,000 in fees for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Pre-opening expenses. Restaurant pre-opening costs decreased $175,000, or 16.2%, from $1,075,000 or 9.1% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $900,000 or 5.5% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Pre-opening costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 relate primarily to the reopening of STK Miami Beach in March 2015. There were no openings during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Pre-opening expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 related primarily to the STK that is projected to open in Orlando during the second quarter of 2016. Included in pre-opening expenses are deferred rent expense of approximately $146,000 and $574,000 at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Equity in loss of investee companies. Equity in loss of investee companies decreased by $86,000 from $169,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in income from the ownership interest in the Bagatelle unit in New York City.

Derivative income (expense). Derivative income was $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to an expense of 614,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Derivative expense represents the increase in the total fair value of the derivative liability that was related to the potential exercise of the publicly traded warrants. These warrants expired on February 27, 2016 and the remaining balance was written off.

Interest income, net of interest expense. Interest expense, net of interest income was $98,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to interest income, net interest expense of $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense was $225,000 of other expense, or 1.4% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $329,000 of other income, or 2.8% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The difference is primarily due to the recording at March 31, 2015 of an initial estimate of business interruption income of $200,000 related to water damage at STK Miami Beach incurred in December 2014.

Benefit for income taxes. Income tax benefit decreased by $545,000 to a $65,000 tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2016 from an income tax benefit of $611,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The tax expense decreased due to the change in the valuation allowance on deferred taxes at March 31, 2015, the valuation allowance was released on June 30, 2015.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes. No operations were closed during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Income from discontinued operations increased by $5,000 from a loss of $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to income of $2,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $2,000 to $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $107,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results and Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of new restaurant openings and related expenses, profitability of new restaurants compared with more mature units, increases or decreases in comparable restaurant sales, general economic conditions, changes in consumer preferences, competitive factors and changes in food costs (especially beef). In the past, we have experienced significant variability in restaurant pre-opening costs from quarter to quarter primarily due to the timing of restaurant openings. We typically incur restaurant pre-opening costs in the five months preceding a new restaurant opening. In addition, our experience to date has been that labor and direct operating and occupancy costs associated with a newly opened restaurant during the first five to nine months of operation are often materially greater than what will be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of restaurant sales. Accordingly, the number and timing of new restaurant openings in any quarter has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on quarterly restaurant pre-opening costs, labor and direct operating and occupancy costs. Our business also is subject to fluctuations due to season and adverse weather. Our results of operations have historically been impacted by seasonality. Our second and fourth quarters have traditionally had higher sales volume than other periods of the year. Severe weather may impact restaurant unit volumes in some of the markets where we operate and may have a greater impact should they occur during our higher volume months, especially the second and fourth quarters. As a result of these and other factors, our financial results for any given quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to meet our lease obligations, our working capital and capital expenditure needs and to pay principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Subject to our operating performance, which, if significantly adversely affected, would adversely affect the availability of funds, we expect to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, including costs of opening currently planned new restaurants, through cash received by us in connection with the net proceeds from our Rights Offering completed in February 2016, as well as cash provided by operations, construction allowances provided by landlords of certain locations and borrowings under our term loan agreement and equipment financing. We cannot be sure that these sources will be sufficient to finance our operations beyond that period, however, and we may seek

additional financing in the future, which may or may not be available on terms and conditions satisfactory to us, or at all. As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.2 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flows used in operating activities were $380,000, consisting of net income of $562,000, which included income from discontinued operations of $2,000 and adjustments for depreciation, amortization, deferred rent and other non-cash charges totaling $1.0 million, including a non-cash derivative income of $100,000 and a non-cash stock-based compensation of $144,000. Net cash outflow of operating assets and liabilities totaled $851,000 and included decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $620,000, inventory of $42,000, deferred revenue of $129,000 and other current assets of $104,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $11,000, due from related parties of $105,000 and an increase in other assets of $259,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash flows used in operating activities were $940,000, consisting of net loss of $1.2 million, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $3,000 and adjustments for depreciation, amortization, deferred rent and other non-cash charges totaling $2.2 million, including a non-cash derivative expense of $614,000, and a non-cash stock-based compensation of $178,000. Net cash outflow of operating assets and liabilities totaled $1.7 million and included decreases in accounts receivable of $263,000, in inventory of $196,000 and in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $755,000, and increases in prepaid expenses of $1.5 million, due from related parties of $210,000 and in other assets of $40,000.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $3.6 million, consisting primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $3.7 million, primarily related to the construction of new restaurants and general capital expenditures of existing restaurants during the period.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2.2 million, consisting primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $2.4 million, primarily related to the construction of new restaurants and general capital expenditures of existing restaurants during the period and a decrease in investments in subsidiaries of $174,000.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $3.4 million, consisting of contributions from members in conjunction with our rights offering of $3.9 million. This was partially offset by principal payments made on our term loan of $423,000 and distributions to non-controlling interest members of $59,000.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $80,000, consisting of proceeds from our credit facility of $1.9 million, offset by principal payments made on our credit facility of $1.9 million and a repayment of notes payable of $5,000. This was partially offset by distributions to non-controlling interest members of $98,000.

Capital Expenditures and Lease Arrangements

To the extent we open new restaurants, we anticipate capital expenditures in the future will increase from the amounts described in “Investing Activities” above. We typically target an average cash investment of approximately $3.8 million on average for a 10,000 square-foot STK restaurant, in each case net of landlord contributions and equipment financing and excluding pre-opening costs. In addition, some of our existing units will require some capital improvements in the future to either maintain or improve the facilities. We are also looking at opportunities to add seating or provide enclosures for outdoor space in the next 12 months for some of our units. In addition, our hospitality F&B services projects typically require limited capital investment from us. These capital expenditures will primarily be funded by cash flows from operations and equipment financing, depending upon the timing of expenditures. We typically seek to lease our restaurant locations for primary periods of 10 to 20 years under operating lease arrangements. Our rent structures vary from lease to lease, but generally provide for the payment of both minimum and contingent (percentage) rent based on sales, as well as other expenses related to the leases (for example, our pro-rata share of common area maintenance, property tax and insurance expenses). Many of our lease arrangements include the opportunity to secure tenant improvement allowances to partially offset the cost of developing and opening the related restaurants. Generally, landlords recover the cost of such allowances from increased minimum rents. However, there can be no assurance that such allowances will be available to us on each project that we select for development.

Term Loan Agreement

On December 17, 2014, we and our affiliates (the “Borrowers”) entered into a term loan agreement with BankUnited, N.A. (the “Term Loan Agreement”) to terminate its existing revolving credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”) and refinance the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the existing loans, which had a maturity date of October 31, 2015. In connection therewith, subject to certain terms and conditions, BankUnited, N.A. agreed to make a single term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in the principal amount of approximately $7.5 million, with a maturity date of December 1, 2019, a portion of which was used to pay the outstanding indebtedness under the 2011 Credit Facility. Our obligations under the Term Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.

The Term Loan is being repaid in sixty (60) consecutive equal monthly installments which commenced on January 1, 2015, with each such installment to be in the principal amount of approximately $125,000. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00%.

The Term Loan Agreement contains default provisions customary for loans of this type, including, among others, defaults related to payment failures, failure to comply with covenants, material misrepresentations, defaults under other material indebtedness, the occurrence of a “change in control,” bankruptcy and related events, material judgments, a “material adverse change,” the invalidity or revocation of any loan document or any lien on the collateral shall no longer be valid or perfected or have the same priority. If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the Term Loan, the Term Loan may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan, together with all accrued unpaid interest, may be declared immediately due and payable.

As of March 31, 2016, amounts borrowed under the Term Loan were approximately $5.6 million.

On June 2, 2015, we and our affiliates (the "Borrowers") entered into a second term loan agreement (the "Second Term Loan Agreement") with BankUnited, N.A. wherein BankUnited, N.A. agreed to make multiple advances to the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000. On April 1, 2016, we commenced payment of fifty-four (54) consecutive equal monthly installments of $111,111.11 or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the outstanding principal amount of all advances on March 31, 2016, divided by (y) fifty-four (54); provided, however, that the final principal installment shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all advances outstanding on September 1, 2020, or such earlier date on which all outstanding advances shall become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise. This second term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.0%. Our obligations under the Second Term Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The outstanding balance under the Second Term Loan Agreement at March 31, 2016 was $6.0 million. The Term Loan Agreement with BankUnited, N.A. remains outstanding.

The Term Loan Agreement and Second Term Loan Agreement contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, liens and encumbrances, indebtedness, mergers, asset sales, investments, assumptions and guaranties of indebtedness of other persons, change in nature of operations, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The financial covenants contained in these agreements require the borrowers to maintain a certain adjusted tangible net worth and a debt service coverage ratio.

We were in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the Term Loan Agreement and the Second Term Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2016 and the we believe based on current projections that the we will continue to comply with such covenants in 2016.

On June 5, 2015, we entered into a $1,000,000 Equipment Finance Agreement (the "Agreement") with Sterling National Bank. The Agreement covers certain equipment in our STKs in Orlando and Chicago. The Agreement calls for 60 monthly payments of $19,686 including interest commencing July 1, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, the amount outstanding under the Agreement was approximately $886,000 and payments of $45,000 were made for the year ended March 31, 2016.

We believe that net cash provided by anticipated operating activities, construction allowances provided by landlords of certain locations, net proceeds of the rights offering and existing available borrowings under our Term Loan Agreement and Second Term Loan Agreement will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the next 12 to 18 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 30, 2016, our chief executive officer

and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2015.

Remedial Measures

We are in the process of remediating the identified deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. However, we have not completed all of the corrective remediation actions that we believe are necessary.

We are taking appropriate and reasonable steps to make necessary improvements to our internal controls over the financial statement close and reporting process. We expect that our remediation efforts, including design, implementation and testing will continue throughout fiscal year 2016, although the material weakness will not be considered remediated until our controls are operational for a period of time, tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls

No changes in our internal controls over the financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, except for our remediation efforts described above.
