NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

Note 1

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and Rule 10-0110-01 of Regulation S-X.S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.26, 2020.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended December 30, 2017 26, 2020 and December 24, 2016 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather. Also, approximately 2/3 of our sales are to venues and locations that have shut down or sharply curtailed their foodservice operations as a result of COVID-19 resulting in a negative impact on our business. The extent of future impacts on our business from COVID-19 is dependent on developments to control the virus which is still uncertain at this point in time.

 

While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.26, 2020.

Note 2

Revenue Recognition

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

The singular performance obligation of our customer contracts for product and machine sales is determined by each individual purchase order and the respective products ordered, with revenue being recognized at a point-in-time when the obligation under the terms of the agreement is satisfied and product control is transferred to our customer. Specifically, control transfers to our customers when the product is delivered to, installed or picked up by our customers based upon applicable shipping terms, as our customers can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the product at this point in time. The performance obligations in our customer contracts for product are generally satisfied within 30 days.

The singular performance obligation of our customer contracts for time and material repair and maintenance equipment service is the performance of the repair and maintenance with revenue being recognized at a point-in-time when the repair and maintenance is completed.

The singular performance obligation of our customer repair and maintenance equipment service contracts is the performance of the repair and maintenance with revenue being recognized over the time the service is expected to be performed. Our customers are billed for service contracts in advance of performance and therefore we have contract liability on our balance sheet.

Significant Payment Terms

In general, within our customer contracts, the purchase order identifies the product, quantity, price, pick-up allowances, payment terms and final delivery terms. Although some payment terms may be more extended, presently the majority of our payment terms are 30 days. As a result, we have used the available practical expedient and, consequently, do not adjust our revenues for the effects of a significant financing component.

Shipping

All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as revenues; therefore, we recognize revenue for shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped or when services are performed. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and our policy is to classify them as Distribution expenses.

9

Variable Consideration

In addition to fixed contract consideration, our contracts include some form of variable consideration, including sales discounts, trade promotions and certain other sales and consumer incentives, including rebates and coupon redemptions. In general, variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when the related revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will be no significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. We review and update our estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on historical experience. Our recorded liability for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments and trade spending was approximately $14.7 million at December 26, 2020 and $14.3 million at September 26, 2020.

Warranties & Returns

We provide all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty. Either stated or implied, we provide assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law. No services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to our customers.

We do not grant a general right of return. However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product. We do not estimate a right of return and related refund liability as returns of our products are rare.

Contract Balances

Our customers are billed for service contracts in advance of performance and therefore we have contract liability on our balance sheet as follows:

Disaggregation of Revenue

See Note 9 for disaggregation of our net sales by class of similar product and type of customer.

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. For the first quarter ended December 26,2020, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB in ASU 2016-13,Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires companies to recognize an allowance that reflects a current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the asset. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for this quarter. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors including the age of receivable balances, the history of losses, expectations of future credit losses and customer’s ability to pay off obligations. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $1,388,000 and $1,388,000 on December 26, 2020 and September 26, 2020, respectively.

Note 2

We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $458,000 and $359,000 at December 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.


Note 3

Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 32 to 20 years. Depreciation expense was $11,152,000$12,269,000 and $8,728,000$11,887,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2017 26, 2020 and December 24, 2016, 28, 2019, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2018 first three months: expected volatility of 16.8%; risk-free interest rate of 2.1%; dividend rate of 1.2% and expected lives of 5 years.model.

 

DuringThe Company did not grant any stock options during the fiscal year 2018 years 2021 and 2020three month period, the Company granted 1,500 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $23.14.

During the fiscal year 2017 three month period, the Company granted 300 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $15.15.-month periods, respectively.

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 5051 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

 

Note 6

We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.


 

Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”).  We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.  

 

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $379,000 $360,000 on both December 26, 2020 and $374,000 on December 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively, 26, 2020, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of December 30, 2017 26, 2020 and September 30, 2017, respectively, 26, 2020, the Company has $244,000 and $239,000$267,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

 

Net earnings for the current year quarter benefited from a $20.9 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, gain on the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities and a $2.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, reduction in income taxes related primarily to the lower corporate tax rate enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017. Net earnings were impacted by a $1.2 million, or $.06 per diluted share, provision for the one time repatriation tax required under the new tax law. Excluding the deferred tax gain and the one time repatriation tax, ourOur effective tax rate decreased to 28.6% from 34.0% in the prior year quarter reflecting the reduction in the federal statutory rate to 21% from 35% for the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2018. The gain on the remeasurement of deferred months ended December 26, 2020 was 8% primarily due to a $420,000 tax liabilities and the one time repatriationbenefit related to share based compensation. Our effective tax are preliminary estimates.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”) directing taxpayers to consider the impact of the U.S. legislation as “provisional” when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations)rate was 28.0% in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax law. In accordance with SAB 118, the estimated income tax net benefit of $21.7 million represents our best estimate based on interpretation of the U.S. legislation as we are still accumulating data to finalize the underlying calculations, or in certain cases, the U.S. Treasury is expected to issue further guidance on the application of certain provisions of the U.S. legislation. In accordance with SAB 118, the additional estimated income tax net benefit of $21.7 million is considered provisional and will be finalized before December 22, 2018.last year’s quarter.    

 


Note 7

In May 2014 and in subsequent updates, June 2016, the FASB issued guidanceASU 2016-13,Measurement of Credit Losses on revenue recognitionFinancial Instruments, which requires that wechanges the impairment model used to measure credit losses for most financial assets. We are required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amountallowance that reflects the consideration which we expectCompany’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We have performed a reviewincurred over the life of the requirements of the new revenue standardfinancial asset, including trade receivables and are in the process of reviewing customer contracts and applying the five-step model of this new guidance to each contract category we have identified and will compare the results to our current accounting practices. We plan to adopt this guidance on the first day of our fiscal 2019 year. We will apply the modified retrospective transition method, which would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts in process as of the adoption date. Under this method, we would not restate the prior financial statements presented. Therefore, this guidance would require additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the fiscal year 2019 reporting period. Our analysis indicates that the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements will not be material. held-to-maturity debt securities.

 

In January 2016, The Company adopted this guidance in the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to measure equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, to usefirst quarter of Fiscal 2021 using the price that would be received by a seller  when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and which eliminates the requirement 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 on the balance sheet.  Under present guidance, changes in fair value of equity investments are recognized in Stockholders’ Equity.   This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ended September 2019.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We do not anticipate that themodified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this new guidance willASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting which requires that an entity recognize most leases on its balance sheet.  The guidance retains a dual lease accounting modelCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements for purposes of income statement recognition, continuing the distinction between what are currently known as “capital” and “operating” leases for lessees.  This guidance is effective for our fiscal yearthree months ended SeptemberDecember 26, 2020.   While we continue to evaluate the effect of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we expect our operating leases, will be subject to the new standard. We will recognize right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets upon adoption, which will increase our total assets and liabilities. We anticipate that the impact of this guidance on our financial statements will be material.

AmortizedAmortizing intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 32 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. In last year’s fiscal year, intangible assets of $6,957,000 were acquired in an ICEE distributor acquisition in our frozen beverage segment, intangible assets of $15,760,000 were acquired in the Hill & Valley acquisition in our food service segment and intangible assets fo $576,000 were acquired in the Labriola Baking acquisition, also in our food service segment. Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended December 30, 2017 26, 2020 and December 24, 2016 28, 2019 was $819,000$679,000 and $1,108,000,$843,000, respectively.

 

Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $3,500,000$2,500,000 in 2018, $3,400,000 in 2019, $3,000,000 in 2020, $2,400,000 in 2021, and $2,300,000 in 2022.2022, $2,300,000 in 2023, $2,000,000 in 2024 and $1,400,000 in 2025. The weighted amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.810.9 years.

Note 1111

We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 


Level 2

Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

18

Marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale consist primarily of investments in mutual funds,, preferred stock and corporate bonds.  The fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  The fair values of preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.  As a result, preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock generate fixed income to call dates in 2018, 20192021 and 2025 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. The mutual funds and Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long termlong-term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions. The corporate bonds generate fixed income to maturity dates in 20172021 through 2021,2023, with $123$41 million maturing within 32 years. Our expectation is that we will hold the corporate bonds to their maturity dates and redeem them at our amortized cost.

Note 12 Changes14 – Leases

General Lease Description

We have operating leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year covering the rental of various facilities and equipment. Certain of these leases contain renewal options and some provide options to purchase during the lease term. Our operating leases include leases for real estate for some of our office and manufacturing facilities as well as manufacturing and non-manufacturing equipment used in our business. The remaining lease terms for these operating leases range from 1 month to 14 years.

We have finance leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year covering the rental of various equipment. These leases are generally for manufacturing and non-manufacturing equipment used in our business. The remaining lease terms for these finance leases range from 1 year to 5 years.

22

Significant Assumptions and Judgments 

Contract Contains a Lease

In evaluating our contracts to determine whether a contract is or contains a lease, we considered the following:

Whether explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract; and

Whether we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset, and we can direct how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract.

Allocation of Consideration

In determining how to allocate consideration between lease and non-lease components in a contract that was deemed to contain a lease, we used judgment and consistent application of assumptions to reasonably allocate the consideration.

Options to Extend or Terminate Leases

We have leases which contain options to extend or terminate the leases. On a lease-by-lease basis, we have determined if the extension should be considered reasonably certain to be exercised and thus a right-of-use asset and a lease liability should be recorded.

Discount Rate

The discount rate for leases, if not explicitly stated in the lease, is the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the componentslease payments in a similar economic environment.

We used the discount rate to calculate the present value of accumulated other comprehensive loss arethe lease liability at the date of adoption. In the development of the discount rate, we considered our incremental borrowing rate as follows:provided by our lender which was based on cash collateral and credit risk specific to us, and our lease portfolio characteristics.

As of December 26, 2020, the weighted-average discount rate of our operating and finance leases was 3.3% and 3.1%, respectively.

Subsequent Event

On January 8, 2018, Hom/Ade Foods, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of J & J Snack Foods Corp. (the “Company”), issued a Product Recall Notification for certain products marketed under the name “MARY B’s Biscuits,” which have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were manufactured by Flowers Foods, Inc. (“Flowers”), and the Company is working in coordination with Flowers and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to effectuate the recall.  We believe that Flowers, the manufacturer of the recalled product and initiator of the recall, is contractually obligated to indemnify us against all costs related to a recall triggered by defective product or governmental demand.  Although we are not able to estimate the costs related to the recall presently, we do not expect the costs to have a material impact on our financial statements.  Additionally, we  expect to be reimbursed by Flowers for our costs related to the recall. We anticipate disruption to our product supply and sales going forward.  

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
