CAUTIONIONARYCAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS

AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of BT Brands, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). Forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.

 

While the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders are cautioned such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report. Such factors may include, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and regulatory developments (1) related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which include risks and uncertainties related to the current unknown duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of governmental regulations that have been, and may in the future be, imposed in response to the pandemic including regulations which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to operate as an “essential business,” potential changes in consumer behavior and dining patterns, which could impact patronage at the Company’s restaurants, the potential effects of government stimulus packages, the deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States, which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending and (2) those discussed and described in the Company’s 20192020 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2020.March 11, 2021. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, nor can the Company predict, in many cases, all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report speak only as of the date of this quarterly report, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.

In the course of its business, theThe Company may be a party to claims and legal or regulatory actions arising from the conduct of its business. The Company is not aware of any significant asserted or potential claims which could impact its financial position

NOTE 7 – Covid-19 AND EMERGENCY LOAN RELIEF

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (‘Covid-19”) a global pandemic. Covid-19 has had a significant adverse impact on the United States economy. While we have experienced some product shortages and some labor shortages, we have continued to operate all of our locations on a drive-through basis only with some limited hours and closing access to both the walk-up window and any indoor seating. Indoor seating is only available in our Dairy Queen and one other location. At this time, it is impossible to predict the ultimate impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results and financial condition as the situation and regulations surrounding government response to the pandemic are constantly changing.

On May 1, 2020, the Company received funding in connection with “Small Business Loans” under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time (the “PPP”). Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Notes dated May 1, 2020, by BTND and BTNDDQ, L.L.C. in favor of Northview Bank. BTND borrowed $418,900 original principal amount, and BTNDDQ, L.L.C. borrowed $41,500 original principal amount. Both PPP loans were funded on May 1, 2020. The PPP Loans bear interest at 1% per annum and mature in two years from the date of disbursement of funds. Interest and principal payments under the PPP Loans will be deferred for a period of six months. Under certain circumstances, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven, however, there can be no assurance that any portion of the PPP Loans will be forgiven and that BTND and BTNDDQ, L.L.C. would not be required to repay the PPP Loans in full. The PPP Loan contains certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the borrower’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses, require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any creditor of the borrower, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect the borrower’s ability to repay the PPP Loan and limit the ability of the borrower to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

On April 29, 2020, BTNDDQ, L.L.C. also borrowed $27,500 at no interest under the Minnesota Small Business Emergency Loan Program from Central Minnesota Development Corporation. This loan is interest free and under certain conditions up to 50% of the loan may be forgiven, BTNDDQ, L.L.C., initially, is required to make 18 monthly payments of $458.33 beginning December 15, 2020, following the initial 18 months, in the event the note does not qualify for loan forgiveness, it will be repaid in equal installments over an additional 36 months.position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of BT Brands, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019.January 3, 2021.

 

OverviewIntroduction

 

We own and operate ten fast food restaurants, including nine Burger Time restaurants and one Dairy Queen restaurant, all of which are in the North Central region of the United States. Our Burger Time restaurants feature a wide variety of burgers and other affordably priced foods such as chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, sides and soft drinks. Our Dairy Queen restaurant offers the established Dairy Queen menu consisting of burgers, chicken, sides, ice cream and other desserts, and a wide array of beverages. Our revenues are derived from the sale of food and beverages at our restaurants.

 

Our Burger Time operating principles include: (i) offering bigger burgers and more value for the money; (ii) offering a limited menu to permit attention to quality and speed of preparation; (iii) providing fast service by way of single and double drive-thru designs and a point-of-sale system that expedites the ordering and preparation process; and (iv) great tasting quality food made fresh to order at a fair price. Our primary strategy is to serve the drive-thru and take-out segment of the quick-service restaurant industry.

 

Operationally, we take several steps to maintain efficiency, including maintaining inventory of approximately $5,000 to $15,000 per store at any given time (which also has the advantage of allowing for frequent deliveries of fresh food). Historically, our Burger Time investment model targeted an average total cash investment of between $325,000 and $535,000. Real estate and finance costs vary materially by location but, assuming the average investment figure applies, the amount allocated to the purchase of real estate would be approximately $225,000.

Our average customer transaction increased by approximately 4% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to 2020 and currently is approximately $11.50. This recent increase is principally because of a menu price increase implemented in the middle of 2020. Our sales trends are influenced by many factors and the environment remains challenging for smaller restaurant chains as competition from the major fast-food hamburger-focused business is intense.

BusinessMaterial Trends - Effects of COVID-19and Uncertainties

 

There are industry trends which may have an impact on our business. These trends principally relate to the rapidly changing area of technology and food delivery. The major companies in the restaurant industry have rapidly adopted and developed applications for the smart phone and mobile delivery, have aggressively expanded drive-through operations and have developed loyalty programs and data base marketing supported by a robust technology platform. We expect these trends to continue as restaurants aggressively complete for customers. Further, the major industry participants have continued to strategically discount prices through promotions such as a “dollar menu.” We expect these significant trends will continue.

The cost of food has increased over the last two years, and we expect to see continued inflationary pressure in the remainder of 2021. Beef costs were stable in 2020 and recently have increased by approximately 4% per pound following an increase of approximately 5% in 2019. Given the competitive nature of the fast-food burger restaurant industry, it may be difficult to raise menu prices to fully cover future cost increases. During 2020 and continuing into 2021, a significant increase in business volume contributed to improved profit margins. Additional margin improvements may have to be made through operational improvements, equipment advances and increased volumes to help offset any food cost increases, due to the competitive state of the restaurant industry.

Labor is a critical factor in operating our stores. In most areas where we operate our restaurants, there historically has been a shortage of suitable labor and recently, securing staff for restaurant has become more challenging. This has resulted in higher wages as the competition for employees intensifies, not only in the restaurant industry, but in practically all retail and service industries. It is crucial for the Company to develop and maintain programs to attract and retain quality employees.

Increases in the federally and state mandated minimum wage may also impact our operations. A variety of proposals have been made to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and state and local governments have, in some cases, implemented minimum wage rates. In North Dakota, the minimum wage is set at the federally mandated minimum wage of $7.25 per hour and the rates are annually adjusted to reflect any increase in cost of living. South Dakota has established a minimum wage of $9.10 per hour which is annually adjusted to increase with the cost of living. Minnesota’s minimum-wage rate for small employers, such as us, is $8.04 per hour. Our hourly employees earn a wage of on average of approximately $12 to $13 per hour. An increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour would adversely impact our profit margins.

Since March 2020, we have faced the World Health Organization declaredeffects of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)COVID-19 and its more recent variants as a global pandemic. This contagious virus,pandemic which has continued to spread,been both unpredictable and persistent, The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. Itglobally and has also disrupted the normal operations offlow the US economy. Our stores have, for the most part, remained open for drive-through business during the last year, however, many businesses experienced a disruption of normal operations. More recently, food service businesses, including ours. ours, have faced challenges in attracting and hiring workers and it is possible the labor shortages may become more acute in the busier summer months.

In response2020 extending through early 2021, many states, including Minnesota, mandated limited public gatherings to this outbreak, many statehalt or delay the spread of disease. Under these emergency orders, essential services remained open, including, but not limited to gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and local authoritiesdelivery restaurants, banks, hospitals, and laundromats. Under the directions limiting public gatherings, regulators generally allowed drive-through restaurant services to remain open. To date, our restaurants have mandated the temporary closure of non-essential businesses and dine-in restaurant activity. Whileremained open although we have curtailed hours at some stores and have experienced some product shortages, for now,temporary restaurant closures while locations have been cleaned and employees tested. Thus far, we have continuedbeen able to operate allreopen after two or three days. Local, regional or national governments may, at any time, implement directives that limit or order our business to close or take other measures intended to mitigate the spread of our locations ondisease. Further, some customers may choose to remain in self-imposed isolation and avoid public gathering places.

While a drive-through basis only eliminating accessprogram to the walk-up service window and any indoor seating whichvaccinate a majority of Americans is only available at our Dairy Queen location and one other location. Also, most of our locations have outdoor picnic table seating for usecurrently in nicer summer weather, and in, most cases, these dining areas have been closed.

The conditions may influence restaurant customer traffic and our ability to adequately staff our restaurants, receive deliveries on a timely basis or perform functions at the corporate level. Further, such conditions could impact the availability of the menu items we offer and the ability of suppliers to deliver such products. We also may be adversely affected if jurisdictions in which we have restaurants impose mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures or impose restrictions on operations. Even if such measures are not implemented, the perceived risk of infection or significant health risk may adversely affect our business. We expect to continue as a going concern.to navigate an unprecedented time for our business and industry.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief,As the restrictions on behavior eased with approved vaccines being distributed and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020, providing provisions aid small businesses through programs administered, byall the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relatingstates in which we operate have lifted mandatory mask mandates and we expect that, in most respects, restaurant industry operations will return to payroll tax creditspre-pandemic norms. Our restaurants may revert to more typical pre-pandemic operations and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax creditsrevenues which may result in sales declines from recent levels.

Future conditions may influence restaurant customer traffic and our ability to adequately staff our restaurants, receive deliveries on a timely basis or perform functions at the corporate level. Further, such conditions could impact the availability of the menu items we offer and the ability of suppliers to deliver such products. We also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs. The loan may be forgivenadversely affected if jurisdictions in which we have restaurants impose mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures or impose restrictions on operations.

Growth Strategy and Outlook

 

We are seeking to increase value for our shareholders in the foodservice industry. We expect to pursue the acquisition ofOur principal strategy comprises acquiring multi-unit restaurant concepts and individual restaurant properties at attractive multiples of earnings. Once acquired,Though we will operate the business or businesses with a shared central management organization. Assuming we are successful in acquiring an operating business, following the acquisition, we expectdo not currently plan to pursue growth strategies to both expand the number of locations and to increase comparable store sales and profits.

Our business plan is to grow through acquisitions in the foodservice industry. In addition,do so, under certain circumstances, we may develop additional Burger Time locations through the acquisition and conversion of existing properties. We also expect to identify and complete acquisitionsOther key elements of existing restaurant units and multi-unit chains which could be operated and expanded through the addition of new locations. Ourour growth strategy is predicated upon (i) building or acquiring new restaurants, (ii) growing comparable restaurantencompass increasing same store sales and profits, and (iii) quickly and cost-effectively scaling our growth while leveraging our corporate services.introducing a campaign to boost brand awareness.

Expansion Through Acquisitions

 

We intend to make strategic and opportunistic acquisitions that provide an entrance into targeted restaurant segments and geographic areas. Restaurant businesses become available for acquisition frequently and we believe that we will have opportunitiesmay be able to purchase either individual restaurant properties or multi-unit businesses at prices providing an attractive return on our investment. Alternatively, we may acquire new restaurant businesses.operating assets where a franchise program of the acquired foodservice business is concluded by management to be the most appropriate growth plan. We intend to follow a disciplined strategy of evaluating acquisition opportunities that seek to determineensure and enable the accretive and efficient acquisition and integration of additional restaurant concepts. Successful execution of our acquisition strategy will allow us to diversify our operations both into other dining concepts and geographic locations.

In evaluating potential acquisitions, we may consider the following characteristics, among others that management considers relevant to each distinct opportunity:

·

the value proposition offered by acquisition targets when comparing the purchase price to the potential return on our investment;

·

established, recognized brands within their geographic footprint;

·

steady cash flow;

·

track records of long-term operating performance;

·

sustainable operating results;

·

geographic diversification; and

·

growth potential.

Assuming we are successful in markets meeting our demographic, real estate and investment criteria. Our abilityacquiring new businesses, we will operate the business or businesses with a shared central management organization. Following the acquisition, we expect to successfully evaluate an acquisition opportunity andpursue a growth plan to understand the competitive landscape of a new market will be critical in making a successful acquisition. Additionally, our ability to identify, recruit and hire both salaried and hourly staff will impact our ability to expand as will changes in the legal environment, including increases to the minimum wage, which could impact our ability to expand into certain areas. Further, we believe that there has been an oversaturation of restaurants in certain areas which could decrease the number of marketslocations and to increase comparable store sales and profits, as described below. We anticipate that by leveraging our management services platform, we will be able to achieve post-acquisition cost benefits by reducing the corporate overhead of the acquired business. If we acquire one or more restaurant chains or individual units in close proximity to each other, we believe the concentration of operations will provide economic synergies with respect to management functions, marketing and advertising, supply chain assistance, staff training and operational oversight.

Future Development of Additional Burger Time Restaurants

We may, in certain circumstances, consider developing additional Burger Time location. Conditions which might give rise to developing additional Burger Time locations include the opportunity to acquire and convert a property that previously had operated as a fast-food establishment at a highly attractive price in a location that fits naturally within Burger Time’s geographic footprint so that we believemay share service expenses, including advertising costs.

If we elect to open additional Burger Time restaurants, we expect that development of these restaurants will, based on our experience, require a minimum six to nine months after opening, to achieve the targeted restaurant-level sales and operating margins. In a case where we open a restaurant in new and untested markets, achieving targeted sales may take longer since the local population will not be attractive to expand into. Even if we can acquire restaurants, thefamiliar with our brand and building brand awareness takes time. How quickly new restaurants achieve their targeted sales and operating margin depends on many factors, including the level of consumer familiarity with our Company,brand, as well as the availability of experienced managers and other staff. However, every restaurant has a unique opening sales pattern, and this pattern is difficult to predict.

Increase Same-Store Sales

Same-store sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base. We intend to deploy a multi-faceted same-store sales growth strategy to optimize restaurant performance. We will be subjectapply techniques proven in the restaurant industry to various risks, some of which, including factors impactingincrease same store sales at our customers, suchBurger Time restaurants and at our acquired properties and to develop new approaches that reflect our corporate character and restaurant composition. We expect to utilize customer feedback and analyze sales data to introduce, test and hone existing and new menu items. In addition, we will investigate utilizing public relations and experiential marketing to engage customers. We expect that our strategies to increase same-store sales will evolve as declining economic conditions, are entirely outwe acquire new restaurant concepts in new markets.

Increase Brand Awareness

We appreciate that increasing brand awareness is important to the growth of our control.Company. We will develop and implement forward-looking branding strategies both for our Burger Time concept and for any businesses that we acquire. We will seek to quicklyleverage social media and cost-effectively scaleemploy targeted digital advertising to expand the reach of our growth by leveragingbrands and drive traffic to our generalstores. In addition, we intend to develop mobile applications that will allow consumers to find restaurants, order online and administrative costs.earn rewards. We will deploy internet advertising to match specific menu items targeted to specific demographic groups. We will deploy cross-over ads with radio and social media interacting with each other. We expect that our branding initiatives will evolve as we consummate acquisitions of restaurant concepts that appeal to distinct consumer markets in differing geographic areas.

 

Our ability to acquire or open new restaurants is predicated on the availability of capital for such purposes. We cannot be certain that capital will be available to us on acceptable terms if at all.

Net Revenues:

 

Net sales for Fiscal 2020fiscal second quarter of 2021 decreased $74,403 or 5.4%$13,655 to $1,303,430$2,382,683 from $1,377,833$2,396,338 in Fiscal 2019. The decreasefiscal 2020. Sales in sales was principally the result2021 have continued to be strong. We have held most of the West St. Paul location being closed for approximately seven weeksgains realized during the period of significant dining restrictions resulting in a favorable impact on drive-through locations. This continuing trend has led to an increase in consumers choosing Burger Time as a result of a fire in the location, and the effects of weather conditions during the period.meal alternative.

 

Restaurant unit sales for the 13-week period ranged from a low of $99,384 (excluding West St. Paul)approximately $154,000 to a high of $185,500approximately $312,500 and average sales for each Burger Time unit during the period was approximately $146,000$237,200 in 2020 declining2021 essentially unchanged from $154,000the same period in 2019.2020.

 

Costs of Sales - food and paper:

 

Cost of sales - food and paper for Fiscal 2020second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased as a percentage of sales slightly to $540,100 (41.4%38.1% of restaurant sales from 37.3% of restaurant sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. This increase was the net result of inflationary pressures of certain items, a favorable six-month verbal fixed price arrangement on the price of ground beef patties at $2.51 per pound which more recently has increased to $2.61 per pound, offset by the impact of a price increase taken at the end of second quarter in 2020 fully realized in 2021.

Restaurant Operating Costs:

Restaurant operating costs (which refer to all the costs associated with the operation of our restaurants, but do not include general and administrative costs, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization) as a percent of restaurant sales increased to 76.6% of sales in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 from 74.4% in similar period of fiscal 2020. This was due to the net effect of the higher cost incurred for personal protection equipment, the impact of the 2020 price increase, offset by tighter labor markets and the matters discussed in the “Cost of Sales,” “Labor Costs,” “Occupancy and Other Operating Cost” sections below.

Labor Costs

For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, labor and benefits costs increased slightly by $10,529 to $621,227 and increased as a percentage of sales to 26.1% of restaurant sales from 25.5%of restaurant sales in fiscal 2020. The increase in the percentage was the result of tighter labor markets leading to higher hourly wage costs offset by the leveraging of existing staffing. Payroll costs are semi-variable in nature, meaning that they do not decrease proportionally to decreases in revenue, thus they increase as a percentage of restaurant sales when there is a decrease in restaurant sales.

Occupancy and Other Operating Expenses

For the second fiscal quarter of 2021, occupancy and other expenses increased $14,430 to $295,978 (12.4% of sales) in 2021 from 11.6% of sales in similar period in 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense:

For second fiscal quarter of 2021, depreciation and amortization increased $12,458 to $58,558 (2.5% of sales) from $560,271 (40.7%$46,100 (1.9% of sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

General and Administrative Costs

General and administrative costs decreased $1,303 from $116,947 (4.9% of sales) to $115,644 (4.9% of sales) in the second fiscal quarter of 2021.

Income from Operations

The income from operations for the 13 week-period was $382,516 in fiscal 2021 compared to an income from operations of $350,156 in similar period in 2020. The increase in the percentage of income from operations to 16.0% in fiscal 2021 compared to 14.6% fiscal 2020 was principally the result of a $100,000 impairment charge in the 2020 period to reduce the carrying value of property held for sale and the matters discussed in the “Net Revenues” and “Restaurant Operating Costs” sections above.

Restaurant-level EBITDA:

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses restaurant-level EBITDA, which is not a measure defined by GAAP. This non-GAAP operating measure is useful to both management and, we believe, to investors because it represents one means of gauging the overall profitability of our recurring and controllable core restaurant operations. This measure is not, however, indicative of our overall results, nor does restaurant-level profit accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders, primarily due to the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-level EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, which is calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the reconciliations to operating income set forth below should be carefully evaluated.

18

Table of Contents

We define restaurant-level EBITDA as operating income before pre-opening costs, if any, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. General and administrative costs are excluded as they are generally not specifically identifiable to restaurant specific costs. Depreciation and amortization and impairment charges are excluded because they are not ongoing controllable cash expenses, and they are not related to the health of ongoing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared onSince March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a going concern basis.positive impact of the Company’s sales and liquidity. For the period ending March 29,2020,26 weeks ended July 4, 2021, the Company incurred a net lossearned an after-tax profit of $116,244. Cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $81,438 in 2020 from a negative $25,640 in fiscal 2019 principally as a result of increases in vendor accounts payable.$347,440. On March 29, 2020,July 4, 2021, the Company had $310,134$1,720,917 in cash and working capital deficit of $535,201$898,303 an increase of $65,875$526,610 from January 3, 2021. The is partially the result of Company completing a refinancing of the mortgages covering all its Burger Time properties including approximately $185,000 of current maturities of long-term debt from the year-end deficit of $468,326.Company’s which was included in the long-term refinancing. In the 13-week period ending July 4, 2021, the Company continued to benefit from excellent results and positive operating cash flow even as government restriction on dining requirement were eased.

 

The coronavirus (“Covid-19”) global pandemic is significantly harmingCOVID-19, and its variants, including what has been described as the fast-spreading “Delta” variant, likely will to continue to have a significant impact on the United States economy. Many businesses have closed, and many citizens are subject to “shelter at home” governmental orders. At this time, all of our units continue to operate, however, itIt is impossibledifficult to predict either the near-term effects or the ultimate impact of the Covid-19COVID-19 pandemic or the impact of governmental responses on the United States economy in general, and specifically the impact on the quick service drive-through segment of the food service industry and on Company’s operating results and financial condition as the situation is rapidly evolving. A cash flow forecast for the next 12 months prepared by management has been adjusted to reflect recent offers by banks, in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including the Company’s principal lenders, Northview Bank and Bremer Bank, to abate all loan payments for the next three months. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27,

In May 2020, and additional avenues of relief may be available to small businesses through programs administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Given the absence of any funding alternatives, the Company applied for and was grantedreceived pandemic-related loans totaling $487,900. Included in that amount was $460,400 borrowed under the Small Business Administration PayrollAdministration’s Paycheck Protection Program.Program (“PPP”). Under the terms of the program, the loans were forgiven in 2021. The SBA’s forgiveness of the PPP is accounted for as a “grant” and $466,400 was reflected as “Other Income” in the second quarter of 2020. Also, in May 2020, the Company expects to use these funds to meet payroll expenses. The Company’s BTNDDQ, L.L.C. subsidiary also received aborrowed $27,500 no-interest loan from a State ofat no interest under the Minnesota Small Business Emergency loan program.Loan Program which under certain circumstance, may become a grant.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and general corporate needs, as well as to invest in or acquire businesses that are synergistic with or complimentary to our business. Our operations do not require significant working capital, and, like many restaurant companies, we generally operate with negative working capital. We anticipate that working capital deficits may be incurred in the future and possibly increase. Our primary sources of liquidity and cash flows are operating cash flows and cash on hand. We use this to service debt and to maintain our stores to operate in an efficient manner, and to increase our working capital. Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we collect cash from sales from our customers at the point of sale, or within a few days from our credit card processor, and in general, payments to our vendors are not due for thirty days.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Operating cash flow in 2020 included $466,758 of “other income” in operating cash flow which did not reoccur in 2021 contributing to a decline in cash flow from operations in the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020. As a result of the strong sales increase over the prior year, we generated $496,251 in cash flow for operations in the 26-week period ending July 4, 2021. The winter months have historically been seasonally the slowest part of the Company’s business generating a lower level of cash flow in comparison to the balance of the year.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

In 2020 through the second quarter of 2021 the Company expectshas focused on its primary business and building its working capital reserves.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

A significant portion of the Company’s cash flow is allocated to have sufficient cash assetsservice the Company’s debt.

Contractual Obligati

As of July 4, 2021, we had $3,268,000 in contractual obligations relating principally to meetamounts due under mortgages on the real property on which are stores are situated. Our monthly required payment is approximately $24,000. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company refinanced most of its obligationsoutstanding mortgage debt with a new lender lowering its nominal interest cost from 4.75% to 3.45% fixed for the next twelve months. No adjustments have been made relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

We are subject to volatility in food costs as a result of market risk associated with commodity prices. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. We do not enter into pricing agreements with any of our suppliers to manage these risks. Beef is our largest single food purchase and the price we pay for beef fluctuates weekly based on beef commodity prices. We do not currently manage this risk with commodity future and option contracts. A ten percent increase in the cost of beef would result in approximately $98,000$175,000 of additional food costs for the Company annually.

 

Seasonality and Inflation

 

Seasonal factors and the timing of holidays cause our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Our revenue per restaurant is typically slightly lower in the first and fourth quarters due to holiday closures and the impact of cold weather at all our locations. Adverse weather conditions may also affect customer traffic, especially in the first and fourth quarters, when customers do not use our outdoor seating areas, which impacts the use of these areas and may adversely affect our revenue.

 

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income during the 2019 or 2018 fiscalrecent years. Increases in food, labor or other operating costs could adversely affect the Company’s operations. In the past, however, the Company generally has been able to increase menu prices or modify its operating procedures to substantially offset increases in its operating costs.

 

The cost of construction has also increased in recent history. We expect that costs to construct new restaurants in our existing and contiguous markets will be more expensive than several years ago, but we expect to achieve higher restaurant sales volumes and/or margin improvements to offset these or addition construction cost increases. Construction cost increases could have an adverse effect on our business and operations, particularly for new restaurant development.

 

Our business is subject to a wide range of federal, state and local regulations, which are subject to change in ways we cannot now anticipate. We are uncertain as to the effect, if any, that changes in the regulatory environment may have on our Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There has been no impact to our financial statements and our results of operations and financial condition as the result of the adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements, see “Part I, Item 1, Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of operating results and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

 

Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our financial statements and involve subjective or complex judgments by management. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact us in the future, actual results may be materially different from the estimates.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

 

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, we are also eligible for and intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30 of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we had total annual gross revenue of $1 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering.

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the supervisionSecurities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the participationobjective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our principalmanagement, including our chief executive officer and principalchief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded thatJuly 4, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective asat a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules, regulations and forms of the end of the period coveredSEC, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated by this quarterly report.

The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and thatcommunicated to our management, isincluding our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.disclosure.
