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 and 204 franchised and licensed units at February 28, 2003.  Units in operation at February 24, 2002 included 6 Company-owned stores and 223 franchised and licensed units.  System-wide revenues in the three months ended February 28, 2003 were $14.1 million compared to $14.7 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), and by directly entering into licensing agreements (Mrs. Fields).  The number of license units decreased by 19 from first quarter 2003 as compared to same period 2002 because of closures of HMS in airport locations.  The Company believes that these closures had no material effect on its consolidated financial operations.

The Company continues to control expenses in payroll, occupancy and overhead costs in the corporate offices. At February 28, 2003, the Company had 22 employees at the corporate level who oversee operations of the franchise, licensed and Company-owned store operations, down from 25 at the end of the first quarter of 2002. 

Effective with the 2002 fiscal year end, the Company adopted a month-end reporting beginning November 30, 2002.  This was a change from the prior reporting adopted in 1999 of a 52-53 week reporting period ending on the last Sunday of its fiscal year in November.  The first quarter of fiscal 2003 had 90 days as compared to 91 days in 2002.

Results of Operations

Three months Ended February 28, 2003 versus Three  Months Ended February 24, 2002.

In the three months ended February 28, 2003, the Company reported income of $44,000 versus income of $13,000 for the same period in 2002.  Total revenues decreased by  $344,000 for the three months ending February 28, 2003, as compared to the three months ending February 24, 2002, due primarily to a decrease in Company-owned store revenues of $300,000, a slight decrease in royalty revenue of $48,000 and a decrease in franchise fee revenue of $68,000, offset by an increase in licensing fees and other income of $72,000.

The primary factors contributing to the decrease in revenues for Company-owned stores for first quarter 2003 as compared to same period 2002 was a $174,000 decrease in wholesale revenues as part of management's goal of eliminating sales to less profitable customers. In addition, $94,000 of first quarter 2002 revenues was from a Company-owned store sold during that period.  Licensing fee and other revenue increased by $72,000, primarily due to renegotiations  of licensing fee contracts at more favorable terms.

Royalty revenue was down slightly for the three months ending February 28, 2003, $48,000 as compared to the three months ended February 24, 2002.  Franchise fee revenues decreased by $68,000 primarily due to fewer new store openings in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to first quarter 2002. 

Food, beverage and paper costs incurred at Company-owned stores decreased $93,000 in the first quarter 2003 as compared to 2002. In the first quarter 2003 Company-owned expenses related to payroll were reduced $126,000, occupancy costs decreased $30,000 and other operating expenses decreased $62,000 as compared to same period 2002.

Because of the Company's continued emphasis on cost control and expansion of the franchise network, the Company has been profitable six consecutive quarters.  Management will continue to focus it's energies on franchising and cost control.

Interest expense remained flat from first quarter 2003 and 2002.  Interest expense should decline for the remainder of fiscal 2003 compared to 2002 as the Company continues to reduce it's debt.   Net income per share as reported for basic outstanding shares for the three months ended February 28, 2003 was $0.01 and diluted was $0.00, versus net income per share of $0.00 for the year-ago period on both a basic and diluted basis. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net cash provided by operating activities totaled $129,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2003 versus cash provided by operations of $319,000  in the year-ago period.  Cash provided from operating activities primarily represents net income of $40,000, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $110,000, and the provision for doubtful accounts of $18,000.  Sources of funds were provided by a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories of $11,000 and $10,000, respectively,  a decrease in prepaid expenses of $4,000, an increase in unexpended National Marketing Fund of $46,000, and an increase in deferred revenue of $16,000.  This is offset  principally by a decrease in accounts payable of $7,000, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $95,000 and a decrease in notes receivable of $25,000.  Investing activities provided $122,000 during the three months ended February 28, 2003, and consisted of  collection of notes receivable of $139,000,  less $17,000 spent for purchases of equipment.  In the year ago period, investing activities provided $114,000 from collection of notes receivable and proceeds from asset sales.  Cash used in financing activities was $169,000 during the three months ended February 28, 2003 due to debt repayments.  During the period ended February 24, 2002, cash used in financing activities was $148,000, also due to debt repayments.  The net increase in cash and equivalents was $82,000 in fiscal 2003 versus an increase in cash and equivalents of $285,000 in the period ended February 24, 2002.

The Company has no financial covenants on any of its outstanding debt.

 

New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations."  SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method.  Adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective for years beginning after December 15, 2001.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on December 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 142 address the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired and the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets acquired, other than in a business combination with indefinite lives, will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests.  The goodwill arising from business acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.  Other indefinite lived intangible assets including franchise contract rights, trade names and trademarks were being amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years to 20 years  prior to December 1, 2002.  These indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill are no longer being amortized, effective December 1, 2002.  Total restated expenses related to the amortization of other indefinite-lived intangible and goodwill for the three months ended February 24, 2002 was $56,104, or $0.01 per share on a basic and diluted basis.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment upon adoption of the standard and annually thereafter.  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process.  The first step is to identify a potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any.   Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets exceeds its estimated fair value.  SFAS No. 142 requires that indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment using a one-step process, which consists of a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the intangible asset.  Intangible assets are deemed to be impaired if the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value.  The Company completed its goodwill impairment assessment during the quarter ending February 28, 2003, which indicated no impairment of goodwill.  A reconciliation of previously reported net income and net income per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets is as follows:

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," effective for years beginning after June 15, 2002. Under this standard asset retirement obligations will be recognized at a discounted fair value basis and capitalized and allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operation.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, " Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective for years beginning after December 15, 2001. The new rules for long-lived assets to be disposed by sale excludes the allocation of goodwill to be tested for impairment of such assets, establishes a primary asset approach to be used for the estimation of future cash flows and allows for probability-weighted future cash flow estimation for impairment testing.  The impairment testing as of the quarter ending February 28, 2003, indicated no impairment as defined by SFAS No. 144.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure."  This Statement, which is effective for years ending after December 15, 2002 amends Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, Statement No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of  Statement No. 123 regardless of the accounting method used to account for stock-based compensation.  The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock based compensation of employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.  However, the enhanced disclosure provisions as defined by SFAS No. 148 will be effective for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2003. 

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgements, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.  The Company's most critical accounting policies are related to the following areas: revenue recognition, long-lived assets, concentrations of credit risks and valuation allowance and deferred taxes.  Details regarding the Company's use of these policies and the related estimates are described in BAB's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies that impact BAB's financial condition or results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report.  Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the 90 day evaluation period.  As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
