Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

BAB, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000.  After an affirmative vote of the shareholders of BAB Holdings, Inc., (Holdings), Holdings was merged into the Company on November 1, 2000.  The combined companies then merged with Planet Zanett, Inc. (PZ) on November 1, 2000.  On November 13, 2000, the Company was spun off from PZ to the former shareholders of Holdings. ("Spin off")

For presentation purposes, the financial statements are reported as if the Company was the controlling entity during the period covered in this report.  The Company has four wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Operations, Inc. (Operations); BAB Systems, Inc. (Systems); Brewster's Franchise Corporation (BFC); and My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. (MFM). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise "Big Apple Bagels" specialty bagel retail stores.   Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned  "Big Apple Bagels"   concept stores, including one which currently serves as the franchise training facility. BFC was established on February 15, 1996, to franchise "Brewster's Coffee" concept coffee stores.  MFM, a New Jersey corporation, was acquired on May 13, 1997.  MFM franchises "My Favorite Muffin" concept muffin stores.  The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels (Jacobs Bros.) were acquired on February 1, 1999.  The company continues to operate three stores with the Jacobs Bros. name.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.   These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period.  These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature and did not have a material impact on the financial statements presented.

 

2. Stores Open and Under Development

Stores which have been opened at May 27, 2001 are as follows:

Stores opened:
     Company-owned 12
     Franchisee-owned 165
     Licensed 58
----
     Total 235

 

3. Special Charge

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company made the decision to refranchise certain Company-owned stores, in order to concentrate on franchising and marketing and building equity in the branding of its trademarked names and products.  The Company-owned stores, which were to be converted to franchised units were written down to fair value based upon actual selling prices or, if not sold prior to year-end, upon management's judgment based upon the previous sale of such assets.  Management's judgment is inherent in the estimated fair value determinations and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.  The estimated fair value of the remaining assets to be sold totaled $ 537,031as of May 27, 2001, and $1,191,236 as of May 28, 2000, and was recorded as a current asset.  The remaining assets held for sale on May 27, 2001, represented four stores and some equipment.  

 

4. Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan

On May 25, 2001, the Company adopted and received shareholder approval for the BAB, Inc. 2001 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which permits issuance of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and stock options to employees and non-employee officers, directors and agents of the Company.  The Plan reserves 275,000 shares of Common Stock for grant and provides that the term of each award be determined by the Board or a committee of the Board.  Under terms of the Plan, options granted may be either nonqualified or incentive stock options.   Incentive stock options must be exercisable at not less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant (110% of fair market value if the options are owned by a 10% or greater shareholder) and may be granted only to employees.  The Plan will terminate on May 25, 2011, unless terminated sooner by action of the Board.  No shares issued as of May 27, 2001.      

 

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the first half of 2001, the Company sold two stores, that were not part of the restructuring described in Note 3 above, at a gain.  During the first half of fiscal 2000, the Company sold six stores identified as part of the restructuring described in Note 3 above.  The stores were sold at or near their estimated fair market value as determined in the fourth quarter of 1999.   Consequently, the sale of the stores had no material impact on earnings. The Company-owned stores were converted to franchised units.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements regarding the development of the Company's business, the markets for the Company's products, anticipated capital expenditures, and the effects of completed and proposed acquisitions, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).  Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Certain risks and uncertainties are wholly or partially outside the control of the Company and its management, including its ability to attract new franchisees; the continued success of current franchisees; the effects of competition on franchisee and Company-owned store results; consumer acceptance of the Company's products in new and existing markets; fluctuation in development and operating costs; brand awareness; availability and terms of capital; adverse publicity; acceptance of new product offerings; availability of locations and terms of sites for store development; food, labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulation (including increases in the minimum wage; regional economic and weather conditions; the hiring, training, and retention of skilled corporate and restaurant management; and the integration and assimilation of acquired concepts.  Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

The Company was started in  November 1992, and now includes 12 Company-owned stores and 223 franchised and licensed units at May 27, 2001.  Units in operation at May 28, 2000,  included 18 Company-owned stores and 229 franchised and licensed units.  System-wide revenues in the six months of fiscal 2001 reached $32.2 million compared to $37.5 million in the year ago period.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the operation of Company-owned stores, initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees.  Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of licensed products as a result of purchasing trademarks (My Favorite Muffin and Brewster's) and licensing contracts (licenses with HMS Host), and by directly entering into licensing agreements (Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard and Mrs. Fields Famous Brands ).

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, management identified 13 under-performing stores which were operating at a loss and which, based on the estimated future cash flows, were considered to be impaired.  In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition of Costs to Exit an Activity," management recorded a provision for impairment of assets and store closures which totaled approximately $1,600,000.  Approximately $1,236,000 represented a non cash write-down of property and equipment, $113,000 was related to the write down of intangible assets and the remainder represented a reserve for severance and other costs.  One store was closed and one store was sold during fiscal 1999 while seven stores were sold during fiscal 2000.  The remaining stores are expected to be disposed of in fiscal 2001.  In addition the Company wrote down and reserved $1,044,000 of franchise-related receivables pertaining to closed stores during 1999.

With the decrease in franchise and licensed operations from the year ago period, the Company has decreased its payroll costs in the corporate office.  At May 27, 2001 the Company had 27 employees in the corporate office to oversee the franchise, licensed and Company-owned store operations, down from 32 at May 28, 2000.   In addition, due to the drop in Company-owned operations from 18 at May 28, 2000, to 12 at May 27, 2001, the Company lowered it's store payroll by $482,300, or 16%.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, net of depreciation and amortization, were slightly lower in 2001 than in 2000.  The Company believes it is in a position to leverage selling, general and administrative expenses against increased revenues anticipated in the second half of fiscal 2001.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended May 27, 2001 versus Three Months Ended May 28, 2000.

Total revenues decreased 15% to $2,885,000 in the second quarter 2001 from $3,401,000 in the prior year quarter.  Net sales by Company stores totaled $1,804,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $2,323,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.  The change in Company store sales relates to the number of stores in operation.  The  number of Company stores in operation during the full three months ended May 27, 2001, was 12, with  2 additional stores open for varying portions of the three month period.  For the three months ended May 28, 2000, there were 18 stores in operation for the full three months and 2 additional stores open for varying portions of the three month period.  Royalties and licensing fees decreased slightly to $974,000 for the three months ended May 27, 2001, from $1,046,000 the year-ago period.  Finally, franchise and area development fee revenue increased by $76,000 from the year-ago period due to the timing of store openings.   Costs associated with Company-owned store operations decreased by $15% compared to the year ago period.   Stores identified as part of the restructuring program contributed a combined loss of ($12,000) for the quarter ended May 27, 2001.  On an absolute basis, selling, general and administrative expenses net of depreciation and amortization  were $11,000 lower in 2001 than in 2000.  Loss  from operations was ($270,000) in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 versus a loss of ($127,000) generated in the prior year period.  Interest expense decreased to $65,000 from $86,000 in the year ago period as the Company continued to reduce its debt and benefited from lower interest rates.  Net loss was ($208,000) in the quarter ended May 27, 2001, versus a loss of ($195,000) in the year-ago quarter.  Net loss per share for the quarter ended May 27, 2001 was ($0.09) versus a loss per share for the year-ago quarter of ($0.09) on both a basic and diluted basis. 

Six Months Ended May 27, 2001 versus Six Months Ended May 28, 2000

Total revenues decreased 20% to $5,530,000 in the first half of fiscal 2001 from $6,903,000 in the prior year period.  Net sales at Company-owned  stores totaled $3,526,000 during the first half of fiscal 2001 compared to $4,588,000 in the first half of fiscal 2000.  The change in Company store sales relates to the number of stores in operation.  The number of Company stores in operation during the full six months ended May 27, 2001, was 12, with  2 additional stores open for varying portions of the six month period.  For the six months ended May 28, 2000, there were 18 stores in operation for six months and 6 additional stores open for varying portions of the six month period.  Royalties are 14% lower in 2001 due in part to the lower number of franchised stores in operation for the six months of 2001 versus fiscal 2000.   Licensing fees and other income increased $16,000 from the year-ago period.   Finally, franchise and area development fee revenue decreased $108,000 from the year-ago period because of the timing of store openings and international deals.   Costs associated with Company-owned store operations decreased by $618,000 in concert with the decrease in store operations in the first half of fiscal 2001 versus the first half of fiscal 2000.  Stores that have been identified as part of the restructuring program contributed a combined loss of ($50,000) for the most recent six month period.  On an absolute basis, selling, general and administrative expenses net of depreciation and amortization declined slightly in 2001 versus 2000.  Loss  from operations was ($729,000) in the first six months of fiscal 2001 versus a loss of ($40,000) generated in the prior year period.  Interest expense decreased to $134,000 from $168,000 in the year ago period as the Company decreased its debt and benefited from lower interest rates.  Net loss was ($706,000) in the six months ended May 27, 2001, versus a net loss of ($174,000) in the year-ago period.   Net loss per share for the six months ended May 27, 2001 was ($0.32) versus a loss per share for the year-ago period of ($0.08) on both a basic and diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net cash provided by operating activities totaled $169,000 during the first six months of fiscal 2001.  Cash provided represents the net loss, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $441,000 and for the provision for doubtful accounts of $127,590.  Accounts receivable decreased $232,263, inventories decreased $ 81,000 and prepaid and other assets decreased $147,000.  Accrued liabilities decreased $127,000, as did accounts payable and other liabilities by $96,000.   The net cash provided  in operating activities in the year-ago quarter totaled $152,000.  Investing activities provided $142,000 during the six months ended May 27, 2001, and consisted of sales of Company stores and collection of notes receivable.  In the year ago period, investing activities provided $631,000 also due to the sales of Company stores and collection of notes receivable.  Cash used in financing activities was $152,000 during the six months ended May 27, 2001 and relates to repayments of debt.  During the period ended May 28, 2000, cash used in financing activities was $448,000 and was also due to debt repayments.   The net increase in cash and equivalents was $159,000 in fiscal 2001 versus an increase of cash and cash equivalents of $335,000 in the period ended May 28, 2000.
