Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of RARE Hospitality International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the quarters ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Company records revenue for normal recurring sales upon the performance of services. Revenue from the sale of franchises is recognized as income when substantially all of the Company’s material obligations under the franchise agreement have been performed. Continuing royalties, which are a percentage of net sales of franchised restaurants, are accrued as income when earned.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Sunday in each calendar year. Each of the four fiscal quarters is typically made up of 13 weeks; however, since fiscal 2006 was a 53-week period, the first quarter of 2006 contained 14 operating weeks compared to 13 operating weeks in the first quarter of 2007 and the first six months of 2006 contained 27 weeks compared to 26 in the first six months of 2007.

The Company completed the sale of the Bugaboo Creek Steak House business on June 21, 2007. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the results of operations relating to the Bugaboo Creek Steak House business are presented as discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are primarily comprised of fixed assets and accrued liabilities, respectively. Financial results for Bugaboo Creek Steak House for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of options granted in the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2007 was approximately $108,000 and $3.6 million, respectively. The fair value of options granted in the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2006 was approximately $98,000 and $6.0 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of options exercised in the quarters ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 was approximately $491,000 and $2.5 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of options exercised in the six months ended July 1, 2007


and July 2, 2006 was approximately $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively. As of July 1, 2007, the total intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was approximately $21.9 million for each. Intrinsic value is the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the respective trading day and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of options exercised.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The total number of performance-based restricted stock units granted in the first six months of 2007 was 68,749 compared to 71,732 for the first six months of 2006. Amounts expensed under this plan are periodically adjusted to reflect the most current projection of management’s estimate of the revenue and adjusted earnings per share to be achieved as compared to the respective targets. In the second quarter of 2007, the expense accrual was reduced based upon updated revenue and adjusted earnings per share projections resulting in net credits for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2007 of approximately ($245,000) and ($18,000), respectively, compared to expense of $137,000 and $229,000, respectively for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2006.

 

3. Long-Term Debt

As of July 1, 2007, no borrowings were outstanding under the Company’s $100.0 million revolving credit agreement, and the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants. Interest expense is reported net of $191,000 and $129,000 of interest income for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $433,000 and $302,000 for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest capitalized in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 was $189,000 and $255,000, respectively, and was $443,000 and $480,000 for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.


4. Income Taxes

Income tax expense on continuing restaurant operations for the first six months of 2007 has been recorded based on an estimated 32.44% effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full 2007 fiscal year plus a valuation allowance of $175,000 related to certain tax benefits recorded in the prior year for Bugaboo Creek that will not be realized. The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% to pre-tax earnings primarily due to employee FICA tip tax credits (a reduction in income tax expense) partially offset by state income taxes. The effective tax benefit rate used related to the Bugaboo Creek impairment charge under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 is the federal statutory rate of 35%.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

As of July 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $4.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits including approximately $1.3 million of interest and penalties, which are included in other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits increased during the second quarter of 2007 from approximately $4.3 million (including approximately $1.2 million of interest and penalties) as of April 1, 2007. The entire balance of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Any interest and/or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as income tax expense.

Management does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statutes of limitations within 12 months from the date of this Form 10-Q. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state tax examinations for years prior to 2003.

* Per share amounts do not necessarily sum due to rounding.


Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the applicable period and includes the dilutive effect of stock options or non-vested stock. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding shares, which computes total proceeds to the Company as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

For the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2007, antidilutive share-based compensation awards for 1,475,705 and 1,354,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2006, antidilutive share-based compensation awards for 1,005,773 shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. The common shares that would be issued if the Convertible Senior Notes were converted are antidilutive.

 

6. Comprehensive Income

For the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, there was no difference between the Company’s net earnings and comprehensive income.
