1. Basis of Presentation

BAB, Inc. (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 omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations: nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 25, 2001 which was filed February 25, 2002.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain items in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in our current fiscal year 2002.

2. Stores Open and Under Development

Stores which have been opened at August 25, 2002 are as follows:

Stores opened:
     Company-owned 6
     Franchisee-owned 175
     Licensed 34
     Under Development 10
     ----
     Total 225

 

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 similar 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 $9,000 and $204,000 and were recorded as current assets as of August 25, 2002 and August 26, 2001, respectively.  The remaining assets held for sale on August 25, 2002 consisted of equipment only.  The remaining assets held for sale on August 26, 2001 represented four stores and some equipment.

6. Acquisitions and Dispositions

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 is within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as set forth in this report, the Company's Annual Report  on Form 10-KSB and other reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 6 Company-owned stores, 209 franchised and licensed units, and 10 franchise units under development at August 25, 2002.  Units in operation at August 26, 2001 included 9 Company-owned stores, 220 franchised and licensed units, and 5 franchise units under development.  System-wide revenues in the nine months ended August 26, 2002 were $47 million compared to $50 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. In addition, the Company wrote down and reserved $1,044,000 of franchise-related receivables pertaining to closed stores during 1999. Of the 13 identified stores,  1 was closed in fiscal 1999, 7 were closed or sold during fiscal 2000, 3 were closed or sold during fiscal 2001 and 1 was sold during the first quarter of 2002.  The remaining store is incurring insignificant losses and is cash flow positive and thus it may be retained.

The Company continues to control expenses in payroll, occupancy and overhead costs in the corporate offices. At August 25, 2002, the Company had 22 employees at the corporate level who oversee operations of the franchise, licensed and Company-owned store operations, down from 26 at the end of the third quarter of 2001. 

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended August 25, 2002 versus Three  Months Ended August 26, 2001.

In the three months ended August 25, 2002, the Company reported income of $68,000, versus a loss for the same quarter fiscal 2001 of ($564,000).   Total revenues decreased 15% to $2,021,000 in the third quarter 2002 from $2,388,000 in the prior year quarter.  Net sales by Company stores totaled $957,000 during the third quarter 2002 compared to $1,477,000 in the third quarter 2001. 

The decrease in total revenues of $367,000 from third quarter 2001 to third quarter 2002 is primarily due to a $520,000 decrease in Company-owned store revenues, a slight decrease in royalty revenue of $69,000 which is offset by an increase in licensing and other fees of $169,000,which included a loss on Company-owned stores of $113,000 in fiscal 2001, and an increase in franchise and area development fees of $53,000. 

The decrease in revenue from Company-owned stores from the third quarter 2001 to the third quarter 2002 is primarily due to the decrease in the number of  Company-owned stores in operation during the same quarter 2002 and 2001.    Company-owned store cost of sales and payrolls were down in the third quarter 2002 by $213,000 and $240,000, respectively.  Cost of sales as a percentage of Company-owned store sales revenue was 31% for third quarter 2002 as compared to 34% for the same period 2001.  Company-owned store payrolls were 38% of company-owned store revenues for third quarter 2002 as compared to 41% for the same period in 2001.

 

Nine Months Ended August 25, 2002 versus Nine  Months Ended August 26, 2001.

In the nine months ended August 25, 2002 the Company reported income of $132,000 versus a loss of ($1,270,000) for the same period in 2001.  Total revenues decreased by  $1,791,000 for the nine months ending August 25,  2002 as compared to the nine months ending August 26, 2001 due primarily to a decrease in Company-owned store revenues of $1,919,000, a slight decrease in royalty revenue of $19,000 and licensing fees and other income of $7,000, offset by an increase in franchise fee revenue of $154,000. 

The decrease in revenue from Company-owned stores for the nine months ending August 25, 2002  compared to the same period 2001 is primarily due to a decrease in the number of Company-owned stores.  The decrease in revenue relating to closed or sold stores for the nine months of fiscal 2002 is $1,440,000.  In addition, wholesale revenues decreased by $337,000 as the Company eliminated sales to less profitable customers.  Same store revenues were down approximately $142,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period 2001.

Royalty revenue and license fees and other income remained relatively flat for the nine months ending August 25, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended August 26, 2001.  Franchise fee revenues increased in the first nine months ending fiscal 2002 as compared to same period 2001 by $154,000 due to the increase in the number of franchise locations opened in this period versus the same period 2001.  In fiscal 2002, 10 new franchise locations were opened as compared to 6 for the same period 2001.

The Company's continued emphasis on cost control and conversion of Company-owned stores to franchises resulted in a decrease in most expenses.  Expenses for corporate payroll, advertising and promotion, travel, insurance and professional fees have all been reduced in aggregate by $510,000, or 24%, for the nine months ending August 25, 2002 as compared to August 26, 2001.  Another area that management has taken a more active role during fiscal 2002 is accounts receivable.  This has resulted in a reduction of bad debt expense of $199,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, as compared to the same period 2001.  Overall, operating expenses have declined to $6,072,000 for the nine months of fiscal 2002 as compared to $8,963,000 for the same period 2001.

Interest expense decreased to $127,000 from $193,000, or 34%, from the year ago period as the Company continues to benefit from lower financing costs due to prime rate cuts and debt repayments.  Interest expense should continue to decline as the Company continues to reduce it's debt.   Net income per share for the nine months ended August 25, 2002 was $0.06 versus a loss per share of $(0.57) for the year-ago period on both a basic and fully diluted basis. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net cash provided by operating activities totaled $828,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2002 versus cash used by operations of $306,000  in the year-ago period.  Cash provided from operating activities primarily represents net income of $132,000, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $547,000, the provision for doubtful accounts of $60,000 and the loss on sale of stores of $53,000.  Sources of funds were provided by a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories of $144,000 and $22,000, respectively, a decrease in NMF receivables (net of liabilities) of $124,000, an increase in accrued liabilities of $12,000 and an increase in deferred revenue of $52,000.  This is offset for uses of funds principally by a decrease in accounts payable of $132,000, an increase in prepaid expenses of $83,000,  and an increase in notes receivable of $103,000.  Investing activities provided $98,000 during the nine months ended August 25, 2002, and consisted of  collection of notes receivable of $72,000, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $89,000, less $63,000 for purchases of equipment.  In the year ago period, investing activities provided $672,000 from collection of notes receivable and proceeds from asset sales.  Cash used in financing activities was $497,000 during the nine months ended August 25, 2002 due to debt repayments.  During the period ended August 26, 2001, cash used in financing activities was $310,000, also due to debt repayments.  The net increase in cash and equivalents was $429,000 in fiscal 2002 versus an increase in cash and equivalents of $57,000 in the period ended August 26, 2001.
