TABLE OF CONTENTS

Note 1.Nature1. Nature of Operations

BAB, Inc. (“the Company”) has three wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”), BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”) and BAB Investments, IncInc. (“Investments”). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagels® (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. My Favorite Muffin®Muffin (“MFM”), was acquired in 1997 and is included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s® CoffeeBrewster’s (“Brewster’s”) was established in 1996 and the coffee is sold in BAB and MFM locations as well as through license agreements. SweetDuetlocations. SweetDuet® (“SD”) frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Operations was formed on August 30,in 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores of which there are currently none. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels®Bagels (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired on February 1,in 1999, and any branded wholesale business uses this trademark. Investments was incorporated September 9,in 2009 to be used for the purpose of acquisitions. To date there have been no acquisitions.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000.  The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB, and MFM and SD trade names. At May 31, 2018,2019, the Company had 8073 franchise units and 36 licensed units in operation in 23 states and the United Arab Emirates. There are 3 units under development. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under a licensing agreement with Green Beans Coffee. Also, included in licensing fees and other income is Operations Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provided the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, menu panels, build charts, interior and exterior signage and point of purchase materials. Beginning December 2017, a majority of franchise signage and point of sale materials is being outsourced to a printer that will be able to provide consistency and convenience to the franchisees. Outsourcing signage will not have a material effect on revenues or net income.

The BAB franchised brand consists of units operating as “Big Apple Bagels,Bagels®,” featuring daily baked bagels, flavored cream cheeses, premium coffees, gourmet bagel sandwiches and other related products. Licensed BAB units serve the Company's frozen bagel and related products baked daily. BAB units are primarily concentrated in the Midwest and Western United States.  The MFM brand consists of units operating as "My“My Favorite Muffin" Gourmet Muffin Bakery™” (“MFM Bakery”), featuring a large variety of freshly baked muffins coffees and related products,coffees and units operating as "My“My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe®,"Your All Day Bakery Café®” (“MFM Cafe”) featuring these products as well as a variety of specialty bagel sandwiches and related products.  The SweetDuet Frozen Yogurt & Gourmet Muffins® brandSweetDuet® is a fusion concept, pairingbranded self-serve frozen yogurt with MFM’s exclusive line of My Favorite Muffin gourmet muffins. SD frozen yogurtthat can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location.  Although the Company doesn't actively market Brewster's stand-alone franchises, Brewster's coffee products are sold in most franchised units.     

The Company is leveraging on the natural synergy of distributing muffin products in existing BAB units and, alternatively, bagel products and Brewster's Coffee in existing MFM units. The Company expects to continue to realize efficiencies in servicing the combined base of BAB and MFM franchisees.

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 U.S. 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-K for the year ended November 30, 20172018 which was filed February 26, 2018.25, 2019.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim period presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of such interim period 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.

2. UnitsSummary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BAB, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

Receivables are carried at original invoice amount less estimates for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts and by using historical collection experience. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding 90 days past the due date. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received. Certain receivables have been converted to unsecured interest-bearing notes.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are 3 to 7 years for property and equipment and 10 years, or term of lease if less, for leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred. All advertising and promotion costs were related to the Company’s franchise operations.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) under ASC 260 “Earnings per Share.” Basic net earnings are divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year to calculate basic net earnings per common share. Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated to give effect to the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in the issuance of additional common shares.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Leases

The company accounts for leases under ASC 842. Lease arrangements are determined at the inception of the contract. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current and long-term operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have elected certain practical expedients available under the guidance, including a package of practical expedients which allow us to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs. We have also elected to not recast its comparative periods. The comparative periods will follow the guidance of ASC 840, while the current period will follow the guidance of the new ASC 842.

For certain equipment leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) and has since issued various amendments which provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on Topic 606. This guidance establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new guidance effective the first day of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and applied Topic 606 to those contracts which were not completed as of December 1, 2018.

The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the beginning of fiscal 2019. In performing its analysis, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price.  Comparative information from prior year periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods under “Revenue Recognition” (“Topic 605”). Refer to Note 3 for further disclosure of the impact of the new guidance.

Liabilities

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The new guidance creates an exception under ASC 405-20, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities, to derecognize financial liabilities related to certain prepaid stored-value products using a revenue-like breakage model. In general, these liabilities may be extinguished proportionately in earnings as redemptions occur, or when redemption is remote if issuers are not entitled to the unredeemed stored value. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 1, 2018 in connection with its adoption of Topic 606, utilizing the modified retrospective method. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosure of the impact of the new guidance.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Statement of Cash Flows

 In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this new guidance on December 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method, and restated the cash flow statement for the prior period presented.

The chart below shows the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the consolidated statements of cash flows as of May 31, 2019 and May 31, 2018 were as follows:

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted Topic 606 on December 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and recorded an increase to opening accumulated deficit of $84,000. The adoption of this standard update resulted in no tax impact. The Company adopted Topic 606 only for contracts with remaining performance obligations as of December 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective transition method. Comparative information from prior year periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods under Topic 605.

The adoption changed the timing of recognition of initial franchise fees, development fees, the reporting of advertising fund contributions and related expenditures, as well as timing of the recognition of gift card breakage.  

The cumulative effects of the changes made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 1, 2018, for the adoption of Topic 606 were as follows:

3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

The following table presents disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018:

Franchise and related revenue

The Company sells individual franchises. The franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay an initial, non-refundable fee prior to opening the respective location(s), and continuing royalty fees on a weekly basis based upon a percentage of franchisee net sales. The initial term of franchise agreements are typically 10 years.  Subject to the Company’s approval, a franchisee may generally renew the franchise agreement upon its expiration.  If approved, a franchisee may transfer a franchise agreement to a new or existing franchisee, at which point a transfer fee is typically paid by the current owner which then terminates that franchise agreement. A franchise agreement is signed with the new franchisee with no franchise fee required. If a contract is terminated prior to its term, it is a breach of contract and a penalty is assessed based on a formula reviewed and approved by management. Revenue generated from a contract breach is termed settlement income by the Company and included in licensing fees and other income.

Under the terms of our franchise agreements, the Company typically promises to provide franchise rights, pre-opening services such as blueprints, operational materials, planning and functional training courses, and ongoing services, such as management of the marketing fund.  Under ASC 605, initial franchise fees paid by franchisees for each arrangement were deferred until the store opened and were recognized as revenue in their entirety on that date. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company determined that certain pre-opening activities, and the franchise rights and related ongoing services, represented two separate performance obligations. The franchise fee revenue has been allocated to the two separate performance obligations using a residual approach. The Company has estimated the value of performance obligations related to certain pre-opening activities deemed to be distinct based on cost plus an applicable margin, and assigned the remaining amount of the initial franchise fee to the franchise rights and ongoing services. Revenue allocated to preopening activities is recognized when (or as) these services are performed. Revenue allocated to franchise rights and ongoing services is deferred until the store opens, and recognized on a straight line basis over the duration of the agreement, as this ensures that revenue recognition aligns with the customer’s access to the franchise right.

Royalty income is recognized during the respective franchise agreement based on the royalties earned each period as the underlying franchise store sales occur. Adoption of ASC 606 will not change when the royalty revenue is recognized, this new guidance did not impact the recognition of royalty income.

There are two items involving revenue recognition of contracts that require us to make subjective judgments: the determination of which performance obligations are distinct within the context of the overall contract and the estimated stand alone selling price of each obligation. In instances where our contract includes significant customization or modification services, the customization and modification services are generally combined and recorded as one distinct performance obligation.

3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

Gift Card Breakage Revenue

The Company sells gift cards to its customers in its retail stores and through its Corporate office. The Company’s gift cards do not have an expiration date and are not redeemable for cash except where required by law. Revenue from gift cards is recognized upon redemption in exchange for product and reported within franchisee store revenue and the royalty and marketing fees are paid and shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Until redemption, outstanding customer balances are recorded as a liability. An obligation is recorded at the time of sale of the gift card and it is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Previously, under Topic 605, the Company recognized revenue from gift cards on an annual basis in the first quarter per a management policy that was formulated based on when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer was remote (also referred to as “breakage”) and the Company determined that it did not have a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. The Company determined the gift card breakage amount based upon its historical redemption patterns. Gift card breakage revenue was previously included in licensing fees and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes gift card breakage proportional to actual gift card redemptions on a quarterly basis and it is included in licensing fees and other revenue. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the breakage rate and will be reassessed each quarter.

Nontraditional and rebate revenue

As part of the Company’s franchise agreements, the franchisee purchases products and supplies from designated vendors.  The Company may receive various fees and rebates from the vendors and distributors on product purchases by franchisees.  In addition, the Company may collect various initial fees, and those fees are classified as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and straight lined over the life of the contract as deferred revenue in the balance sheet. The Company does not possess control of the products prior to their transfer to the franchisee and products are delivered to franchisees directly from the vendor or their distributors. Under adoption of ASC 606 the revenue recognition will not change, the Company will recognize the rebates as franchisees purchase products and supplies from vendors or distributors and will recognize the initial fees over the contract life and the fees will be reported as licensing fees and other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Marketing Fund

Franchise agreements require the franchisee to pay continuing marketing fees on a weekly basis, based on a percentage of franchisees sales. Marketing fees are not paid on franchise wholesale sales. The balance sheet includes marketing fund cash, which is the restricted cash, accounts receivable and unexpended marketing fund contributions. Under Topic 606, the Company has determined that although the marketing fees are not separate performance obligations distinct from the underlying franchise right, the Company acts as the principal as it is primarily responsible for the fulfillment and control of the marketing services. As a result, the Company records marketing fees in revenues and related marketing fund expenditures in expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company historically presented the net activities of the marketing fund within the balance sheet in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. While this reclassification will impact the gross amount of reported revenue and expenses the amounts will be offsetting, and there will be no impact on net income.   

3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

Contract balances

Information about contract balances subject to ASC 606 is as follows:

Accounts receivable represent weekly royalty payments and monthly vendor rebate payments that represent billed and unbilled receivables due as of May 31, 2019 and December 1, 2018. The balance of contract liabilities includes franchise fees, license fees and vendor payments that have ongoing contract rights and the fees are being straight lined over the contract life. Contract liabilities also include marketing fund balances and gift card liability balances.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations (franchise agreements and license fee agreement):

The Company has elected to apply certain practical expedients as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligations that are a part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less; (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient; and (iii) variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation, and the terms of that variable consideration relate specifically to our efforts to transfer the distinct service, or to a specific outcome from transferring the distinct service. As such, sales-based royalty and marketing income, as well as gift card breakage revenue, is not included in the above transaction price chart. Additionally, the Company has applied the transition practical expedient that allows the Company to omit the above disclosures for the fiscal year November 30, 2018.

3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606

The adoption changed the timing of recognition of initial franchise fees, the reporting of advertising fund contributions and related expenditures, as well as timing of the recognition of gift card breakage.  

In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the following tables summarize the effects of the new standard on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations for the six months ended May 31, 2019.

4. Units Open and Under Development

Units which are open or under development at May 31, 20182019 are as follows:

3.5. Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

There were no dilutive securities in the three months or six months ended May 31, 2018 or 2017.

46. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests. The Company follows this guidance.

TheFollowing the guidelines contained in ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets that isare not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. The Company has elected to conduct its annual test during the first quarter. During the quarter ended February 28, 2018,2019, management qualitatively assessed goodwill to determine whether testing was necessary. Factors that management considers in this assessment include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance (both current and projected), changes in management and strategy, and changes in the composition and carrying amounts of net assets. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is then performed. Based on a qualitative evaluation, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired at May 31, 2018,2019, and a quantitative assessment was not considered necessary.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2014-09 establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. The standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements.

The standard requires that the transaction price received from customers be allocated to each separate and distinct performance obligation. The transaction price attributable to each separate and distinct performance obligation is then recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. We have evaluated franchise fees and have determined that under the new standard the franchise fee is not separate and distinct from the overall franchise right. Franchise fees received will be recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement, typically 10 years.  The Company is still evaluating the financial impact that this change will have on our financial statements.

We have evaluated the impact of our franchise contributions to and subsequent expenditures from our marketing fund. We act as an agent in regard to these franchisee contributions and expenditures and as such we do not currently include them in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We have determined we are the principal in these arrangements and under the new standard we will include them as revenue and expense items.  The Company is still evaluating the specific effect of this change. We believe it will have a material impact on our gross amount of reported revenues and expenses but we do not expect a significant impact on our net income.  The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 for fiscal year ending November 30, 2019.

7. Lease Commitments

The Company rents its office under an operating lease which requires it to pay base rent, real estate taxes, insurance and general repairs and maintenance. A lease was signed in June of 2018, effective October 1, 2018, expiring on March 31, 2024 with an option to renew for a 5 year period. A six month rent abatement and tenant allowance was provided in the lease, with any unused portion to be applied to base rent and the unused portion has not yet been determined. The renewal option and tenant allowance have not been included in the measurement of the lease liability.

Monthly rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 were $20,900 and $22,500, respectively. Rent expense for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 was $40,500 and $44,800, respectively. At May 31, 2019 the remaining lease term was 58 months. The operating lease is included in the balance sheet at the present value of the lease payments at a 5.25% discount rate. The discount rate was considered to be an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Gross future minimum annual rental commitments as of May 31, 2019, are as follows:

58. Recent Accounting Pronouncements(continued)

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new standard for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is planning on early adoption of this standard at the commencement of the new lease beginning October 1, 2018. The Company will classify the new office lease as an operating lease. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 is expected to increase the Company’s total assets and liabilities by approximately $500,000 based on a discounted calculation of the future lease payments, as of October 1, 2018. A discount rate of 4% is used for the present value calculation of the future lease payments. The Company expects the impact on the results of its operations to equal the amortization of the asset, net of the present value discount, on a straight line basis over the lease term.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-04, Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The amendments in the ASU are designed to provide guidance and eliminate diversity in the accounting for derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities. Typically, a prepaid stored-value product liability is to be derecognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. This is when the likelihood of the product holder exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. This estimate shall be updated at the end of each reporting period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including the interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements as of May 31, 20182019 that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

6.9. Stockholder’s Equity

The Board of Directors declared a cash distribution/dividend onOn March 15, June 7 and September 7, 2017 of $0.01 per share, paid April 20, July 13, and October 13, 2017, respectively. On December 5, 2017, a $0.01 quarterly and a $0.01 special cash distribution/dividend per share was declared and paid on January 12, 2018. March 7, 2018,2019, the Board of Directors declared a $0.01 per share quarterly cash distribution/dividend to shareholders of record as of March 27, 2018,29, 2019 and paid April 13, 2018.18, 2019.

On June 4, 2018 the Board of Directors declared5, 2019, a $0.01 quarterly cash distribution/dividend per share was declared to shareholders of record as of June 19, 2018, payable21, 2019 to be paid on July 6, 2018.10, 2019.

On May 6, 2013, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of BAB, Inc. adopted a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement (“Rights Plan”)authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (equivalent to one one-thousandth of a preferred share), for each outstanding share of the common stock. The Rights Plan is intended to protect BAB, Inc. and its stockholders from efforts to obtain controlstock of BAB, Inc. that the Boardto stockholders of Directors determines are not in the best interest of BAB, Inc. and its stockholders. BAB, Inc. issued one Right for each current share of stock outstandingrecord at the close of business on May 13, 2013. The rights will not be exercisable unless a person or group acquires 15% (20% institutional investors) or more of BAB, Inc.’s common stock (“trigger event”). Should a trigger event occur, eachEach right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.90 per one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The complete terms of the Rights will expireare set forth in three yearsa Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, between the Company and IST Shareholder Services, as rights agent.

The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 15% (or 20% in the datecase of declaration.certain institutional investors who report their holdings on Schedule 13G) or more of the Common Shares without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights may be to render more difficult a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by the Board. However, neither the Rights Agreement nor the Rights should interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board.

Full details about the Rights Plan are contained in a Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2013.
