As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Krispy Kreme,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 mean the fiscal years ending February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, respectively.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that relate to our plans, objectives, estimates and goals. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future and projections relating to products, sales, revenues, expenditures, costs and earnings are typical of such statements, and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “objective,” “seek,” “strive” or similar words, or the negative of these words, identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to:
- the quality of Company and franchise store operations;
- our ability, and our dependence on the ability of our franchisees, to execute on our and their business plans;
- our relationships with our franchisees;
- our ability to implement our international growth strategy;
- our ability to implement our domestic small shop operating model;
- political, economic, currency and other risks associated with our international operations;
- the price and availability of raw materials needed to produce doughnut mixes and other ingredients, and the price of motor fuel;
- our relationships with wholesale customers;
- our ability to protect our trademarks and trade secrets;
- changes in customer preferences and perceptions;
- risks associated with competition;
- risks related to the food service industry, including food safety and protection of personal information;
- compliance with government regulations relating to food products and franchising;
- increased costs or other effects of new government regulations relating to healthcare benefits;
- risks associated with implementation of new technology platforms; and
- other factors discussed in Krispy Kreme’s periodic reports and other information filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3,2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”).
All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the impact of each such factor on the Company. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made.
We caution you that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the facts, results, performance or achievements we have anticipated in such forward-looking statements except as required by the federal securities laws.

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Accounting Policies
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (“KKDI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the sale of doughnuts and complementary products through Company-owned stores. The Company also derives revenue from franchise and development fees and royalties from franchisees. Additionally, the Company sells doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut-making equipment to franchisees.
Significant Accounting Policies
BASIS OF PRESENTATION.The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices described in the 2013 Form 10-K, but have not been audited. In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data as of February 3, 2013 were derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION.The financial statements include the accounts of KKDI and its subsidiaries, the most significant of which is KKDI’s principal operating subsidiary, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation.
Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which the Company does not control, and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. These entities typically are 25% to 35% owned and are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Equity Method Franchisees.”
EARNINGS PER SHARE.The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, computed using the treasury stock method. Such potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of currently unvested shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units.
The following table sets forth amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Three Months Ended |

| 2013 | | 2012 |
| (In thousands) |
Numerator: net income | $ | 7,999 | | $ | 6,026 |
Denominator: | | | | | |
Basic earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding | | 67,012 | | | 69,562 |
Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | |
Stock options and warrants | | 2,751 | | | 1,781 |
Restricted stock units | | 815 | | | 545 |
Diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares | | | | | |
outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares | | 70,578 | | | 71,888 |
Stock options and warrants with respect to 617,000 and 2.3 million shares for the three months ended May 5, 2013 and April 29, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
10
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.Accounting standards on reporting comprehensive income require that certain items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges (which are not reflected in net income) be presented as components of comprehensive income. The cumulative amounts recognized by the Company under these standards are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.

CORRECTION OF BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION ERROR. The Company’s KK Supply Chain transfers doughnut mixes and certain other goods to third-party distribution companies which, in turn, distribute such products to Company and franchise stores pursuant to distribution contracts with KK Supply Chain. The Company does not record revenues or profit on the product transfers to the distribution companies because all revenue recognition criteria are not met at that time. Revenues and profit are recorded only upon the delivery of the goods to the stores by the distribution companies (and the sales to Company shops are eliminated in consolidation). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company concluded that certain of the Company’s receivables from third-party distribution companies resulting from the product transfers had been incorrectly reported as a component of inventories, rather than as a component of receivables, in prior periods. The Company corrected this classification error as of February 3, 2013. While not material to previously issued financial statements, to enhance comparability, the Company corrected the corresponding error as of April 29 and January 29, 2012, by revising the classification of $3.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of receivables from the distribution companies previously classified as inventories to receivables. The error also affected the change in inventories and change in receivables line items in the statement of cash flows in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, but there was no effect on net cash provided by operating activities. The Company revised its statement of cash flows to adjust the increase in receivables from $261,000 to $155,000 and to adjust the decrease in inventories from $588,000 to $482,000 in first quarter of fiscal 2013. Correction of this error had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, total current assets, working capital, or total operating, investing, or financing cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance permits, but does not require, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments are Company Stores, Domestic Franchise, International Franchise and KK Supply Chain. The Company Stores segment is comprised of the stores operated by the Company. These stores sell doughnuts and complementary products through both on-premises and wholesale sales channels, although some stores serve only one of these distribution channels. The Domestic Franchise and International Franchise segments consist of the Company’s franchise operations. Under the terms of franchise agreements, domestic and international franchisees pay royalties and fees to the Company in return for the use of the Krispy Kreme name and ongoing brand and operational support. Expenses for these segments include costs to recruit new franchisees, to assist in store openings, to support franchisee operations and marketing efforts, as well as allocated corporate costs. The majority of the ingredients and materials used by Company stores are purchased from the KK Supply Chain segment, which supplies doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut making equipment to both Company and franchisee-owned stores.
11
All intercompany sales by the KK Supply Chain segment to the Company Stores segment are at prices intended to reflect an arms-length transfer price and are eliminated in consolidation. Operating income for the Company Stores segment does not include any profit earned by the KK Supply Chain segment on sales of doughnut mix and other items to the Company Stores segment; such profit is included in KK Supply Chain operating income.
The following table presents the results of operations of the Company’s operating segments for the three months ended May 5, 2013 and April 29, 2012. Segment operating income is consolidated operating income before unallocated general and administrative expenses and impairment charges and lease termination costs.

Note 3 — Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon management’s expectation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized for which payment has been deferred, or expenses which have been deducted in the Company’s tax returns but which have not yet been recognized as an expense in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax deductions or credits that will be reflected in future tax returns for which the Company has already recorded a tax benefit in its consolidated financial statements.
12
The Company establishes valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets in accordance with GAAP, which provides that such valuation allowances shall be established unless realization of the income tax benefits is more likely than not.
The valuation allowance of $9.8 million at May 5, 2013 and February 3, 2013 represents the portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss and state credit carryforwards having relatively short carryforward periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused.
The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management’s forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.
In fiscal 2008, the Company issued warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.21 per share in connection with the settlement of certain litigation. The warrants expired unexercised in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and, accordingly, the Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction related to them. Deferred tax assets at January 29, 2012 included approximately $7.2 million related to these warrants. In accordance with GAAP, such amounts were charged to common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 because common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes cumulative credits related to share-based compensation in excess of such amounts.

In addition to the foregoing notes receivable, the Company had promissory notes totaling approximately $3.2 million at May 5, 2013 and $3.3 million at February 3, 2013 representing primarily royalties and fees due to the Company which, as a result of doubt about their collection, the Company had not yet recorded as revenues. Payments were required to be made on a promissory note of approximately $220,000 of the $3.2 million balance at May 5, 2013.

Note 6 — Investments in Franchisees
As of May 5, 2013, the Company had investments in three franchisees. These investments have been made in the form of capital contributions and, in certain instances, loans evidenced by promissory notes. These investments are reflected as “Investments in equity method franchisees” in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company’s financial exposures related to franchisees in which the Company has an investment are summarized in the tables below.

The Company has guaranteed loans from third-party lenders on behalf of certain Equity Method Franchisees, primarily to assist the franchisees in obtaining financing. The loans are collateralized by certain assets of the franchisee, generally the Krispy Kreme store and related equipment. The loan guarantee amounts represent the portion of the principal amount outstanding under the related loan that is subject to the Company’s guarantee.
The Company has a 25% interest in Kremeworks, LLC (“Kremeworks”), and has guaranteed 20% of the outstanding principal balance of certain of Kremeworks’ bank indebtedness, which, as amended, matures in October 2013. The aggregate amount of such indebtedness was approximately $1.7 million at May 5, 2013.
15
Current liabilities include accruals for potential payments under loan guarantees of approximately $1.6 million at both May 5, 2013 and February 3, 2013 related to Krispy Kreme of South Florida, LLC (“KKSF”). The underlying indebtedness matured by its terms in October 2009. Such maturity had been extended on a month-to-month basis pursuant to an informal agreement between KKSF and the lender. In October 2012, KKSF received notice that the original lender had sold the loan to a new lender. The new lender has advised KKSF that the entire balance due under the loan is currently due and owing, but has not made demand for payment on KKSF. KKSF is seeking modifications of the loan agreement from the new lender to extend the maturity of the loan and, as an alternative, is seeking replacement financing from other lenders to refinance the balance of the loan. There was no liability reflected in the financial statements for the guarantee of Kremeworks’ debt because the Company did not believe it was probable that the Company would be required to perform under that guarantee. While there is no current demand on the Company to perform under either of the guarantees, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to perform and, if circumstances change from those prevailing at May 5, 2013, additional guarantee payments or provisions for guarantee payments could be required with respect to either of the guarantees, and such payments or provisions could be significant.
Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies
Except as disclosed below, the Company currently is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
Pending Litigation
K2 Asia Litigation
On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K2 Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages. The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
Colchester Security Litigation
On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company. The plaintiff seeks $2.7 million in damages. The Company denies the allegations and intends to pursue counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease. No liability has been recorded with respect to this matter because management does not believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred. In March 2013, both parties agreed to avail themselves of the Fairfax County Court’s alternate dispute resolution program, and the matter has been set for binding arbitration to commence on June 20, 2013.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
One of the Company’s lenders had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $9.2 million at May 5, 2013, all of which secure the Company’s reimbursement obligations to insurers under the Company’s self-insurance arrangements.
Note 8 — Shareholders’ Equity
Share-Based Compensation for Employees and Directors
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for share-based payment (“SBP”) awards based on their fair values. The fair value of SBP awards for which employees and directors render the requisite service necessary for the award to vest is recognized over the related vesting period.
16
The aggregate cost of SBP awards charged to earnings for the three months ended May 5, 2013 and April 29, 2012 is set forth in the following table. The Company did not realize any excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units during any of the periods.

Impairment of long-lived assets | | $ | - | | $ | - |
Lease termination costs | | | 8 | | | 31 |
Total impairment charges and lease termination costs | | $ | 8 | | $ | 31 |
The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company’s annual budgeting process. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values.
Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities are estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.
The transactions reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs are summarized as follows:

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standards for fair value measurements define fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accounting standards for fair value measurements establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
- Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
- Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the term loan is estimated based on an indicative bid price, valuation input Level 2. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their fair values at May 5, 2013 and February 3, 2013.
Note 11 — Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company mitigates this risk of nonperformance by dealing with highly rated counterparties.
Additional disclosure about the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 10.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients of its products, of which flour, sugar and shortening are the most significant. In order to bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients, from time to time the Company purchases exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, and options on such contracts, for raw materials which are ingredients of its products or which are components of such ingredients, including wheat and soybean oil. The Company is also exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of gasoline used by its delivery vehicles. To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the price of its gasoline purchases, the Company may purchase exchange-traded commodity futures contracts and options on such contracts. The difference between the cost, if any, and the fair value of commodity derivatives is reflected in earnings because the Company has not designated any of these instruments as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating commodity prices. The settlement of commodity derivative contracts is reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a cash flow from operating activities. At May 5, 2013, the Company had commodity derivatives with an aggregate contract volume of 620,000 bushels of wheat. Other than the requirement to meet minimum margin requirements with respect to the commodity derivatives, there are no collateral requirements related to such contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
All of the borrowings under the Company’s secured credit facilities bear interest at variable rates based upon either the lenders’ prime rate, the Fed funds rate or LIBOR. The interest cost of the Company’s debt may be affected by changes in these short-term interest rates and increases in those rates may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
On March 3, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract having an aggregate notional principal amount of $17.5 million. The derivative contract entitles the Company to receive from the counterparty the excess, if any, of the three-month LIBOR rate over 3.00% for each of the calendar quarters in the period beginning April 2012 and ending December 2015. The Company is accounting for this derivative contract as a cash flow hedge.

Note 12 — Acquisitions and Divestitures
Business Combination
On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the assets and operations of one of its franchisees in exchange for $915,000 cash. The acquired assets consisted principally of two Krispy Kreme stores. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows: $464,000 to property and equipment, $8,000 to other assets, and the balance of $443,000 to reacquired franchise rights. The results of operations of the acquired business have been included with those of the Company from the acquisition date.
22
Asset Divestiture
On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market to a new franchisee who was a former employee of the Company; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price of the stores and the related assets was approximately $1.1 million evidenced by a promissory note payable in installments equal to 3.5% of the stores’ sales, plus interest at 7% beginning in February 2013. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss on the refranchising transaction.
On September 27, 2012, the Company sold to one of its franchisees the leasehold interests and certain other assets, including rights under franchise agreements, for three Krispy Kreme stores operated by the franchisee. The Company acquired the leasehold interests and other assets related to the three stores from the franchisee in August 2006 for $2.9 million cash. After the Company’s acquisition of the assets, the franchisee has continued to operate the stores for its own account pursuant to an operating agreementbetween the Company and the franchisee. The aggregate purchase price of the three stores and the related assets in the September 2012 transaction was approximately $3.6 million, of which approximately $360,000 was paid in cash at closing. The balance of the purchase price was evidenced by a promissory note in the approximate amount of $3.2 million, payable in monthly installments of approximately $51,000, including interest at 8%, beginning in November 2012, and a final installment of the remaining principal balance on October 1, 2017. The carrying value of the divested assets was approximately $1.9 million. Because the initial investment made by the franchisee to acquire the assets was less than the minimum amount necessary to recognize a gain on the sale, the Company deferred recognition of the $1.7 million gain, and such deferred gain is reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of the note receivable. The Company is reporting the principal and interest payments received from the franchisee as a reduction of the carrying value of the note. At such time as the franchisee’s investment exceeds 20% of the purchase price, the Company will reconsider whether recognition of a gain on the transaction is then appropriate.

(1) | Represents the change in International Franchise same store sales computed by reconverting franchise store sales in each foreign currency to U.S. dollars at a constant rate of exchange for each period. |
(2) | Excludes sales among Company and franchise stores. |
(3) | Represents International Franchise store sales computed by reconverting International Franchise store sales for the three months ended April 29, 2012 to U.S. dollars based upon the weighted average of the exchange rates prevailing in the three months ended May 5, 2013. |
(4) | Includes sales between Company and franchise stores. |
(5) | Metrics for the three months ended May 5, 2013 and April 29, 2012 include only stores open at the respective period end. |
The change in “same store sales” is computed by dividing the aggregate on-premises sales (including fundraising sales) during the current year period for all stores which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks during the current year (but only to the extent such sales occurred in the 57th or later week of each store’s operation) by the aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable weeks in the preceding year. Once a store has been open for at least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the computation of same store sales for all subsequent periods. In the event a store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and has no sales during one or more weeks, such store’s sales for the comparable weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded from the same store sales computation. The change in same store customer count is similarly computed, but is based upon the number of retail transactions reported in the Company’s point-of-sale system.
For wholesale sales, “average weekly number of doors” represents the average number of customer locations to which product deliveries were made during a week, and “average weekly sales per door” represents the average weekly sales to each such location.
Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include sales by both Company and franchise Krispy Kreme stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing consumer demand for the Company’s products, the overall success of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. All of the Company’s royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by the Company’s domestic and international franchisees, and substantially all of KK Supply Chain’s external sales of doughnut mixes and other ingredients ultimately are determined by demand for the Company’s products at franchise stores. Accordingly, sales by the Company’s franchisees have a direct effect on the Company’s royalty and KK Supply Chain revenues, and therefore on the Company’s profitability. The Company’s consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein include sales by Company stores, sales to franchisees by the KK Supply Chain business segment, and royalties and fees received from franchise stores based on their sales, but exclude sales by franchise stores to their customers.

Adjusted Net Income
The Company has approximately $206 million of federal net operating loss carryovers, as well as loss carryovers for state income tax purposes. Until such time as the Company’s net operating loss carryovers are exhausted or expire, GAAP income tax expense is expected to substantially exceed the amount of cash income taxes payable by the Company.

The following non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures are provided to assist the reader in understanding the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

Sales at Company Stores increased to $81.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $73.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Selling price increases in the on-premises channel accounted for approximately 1.4 percentage points of the increase in sales, exclusive of the effects of higher pricing on unit volumes; such effects are difficult to measure reliably. As with all consumer products, however, higher prices may negatively affect unit volumes, which may negatively affect sales.
The following table presents sales metrics for Company stores:

On-premises sales
The components of the change in same store sales at Company stores are as follows:
| Three Months Ended |
| May 5, | | April 29, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
Change in same store sales: | | | | | | | |
Retail pricing | 3.0 | | % | | 2.6 | | % |

Other | (0.1 | ) | | | 0.1 | | |
Total | 11.4 | | % | | 2.1 | | % |
On-premises sales increased 15.0% to $40.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $35.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013, driven principally by higher customer traffic and retail price increases. The Company is developing and implementing new and enhanced marketing programs designed to increase guest visit frequency. In addition to improved marketing programs, management believes that customer traffic has been positively affected by ongoing store remodelings, an emphasis on hospitality, and continued use of creative limited time doughnut offerings. Additionally, approximately 3.0 percentage points of the on-premises sales increase reflects retail price increases implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. On February 18, 2013, the Company implemented on-premises price increases at substantially all its stores designed to help offset the rising costs of doughnut mixes, other ingredients and fuel resulting from higher commodity prices. These price increases affect items comprising approximately 70% of on-premises sales, and the average price increase on these items was approximately 5%.
Wholesale distribution
Sales to wholesale accounts increased 8.6% to $41.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $37.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013.
Sales to grocers and mass merchants increased 11.0% to $25.2 million, with a 15.8% increase in average weekly sales per door partially offset by a 4.2% decline in the average number of doors served. The Company believes that average weekly sales per door in the grocer/mass merchant channel have grown as a result of, among other things, improved customer service, introduction of additional price points, and the addition of new relatively higher volume doors. The decline in the average number of doors served in the grocery/mass merchant channel reflects the elimination of loose doughnut sales at a regional grocer, although the Company continues to sell packaged products to this customer as well as a program change with another customer to include only a select number of doors. Sales of loose unpackaged products comprised approximately 1% of sales to grocery/mass merchant customers for the three months ended May 5, 2013, with the balance comprised of sales of packaged products.
35
Convenience store sales rose 4.0% to $14.9 million, reflecting a 7.3% increase in the average weekly sales per door, partially offset by a 2.6% decline in the average number of doors served. The decline in the average number of doors served in the convenience store channel reflects a reduction in the number of stops at relatively low volume doors, as well as the loss of a regional convenience store account. Sales of loose unpackaged products comprised approximately 78% of sales to convenience store customers for the three months ended May 5, 2013, with the balance comprised of sales of packaged products.
Costs and expenses
Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased by 2.1 percentage points from the first three months of fiscal 2013 to 68.1% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014.
The cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of revenues decreased by 0.8 percentage points in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013. Price increases in the on-premises distribution channel more than offset modest increases in the cost of food, beverage and packaging. In addition, a reduction in returns in the wholesale distribution channel and a greater percentage of sales derived from on-premises customers compared to last year contributed to the improvement. The cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of sales is often greater in the wholesale distribution channel compared to the on-premises channel because average product selling prices generally are lower in the wholesale distribution channel and because of the effect of returns in the wholesale distribution channel.
KK Supply Chain has entered into contracts to purchase approximately 90% of its shortening and flour requirements, and substantially all of its estimated sugar requirements for the balance of fiscal 2014. Based upon current market forecasts, the Company expects its aggregate cost of ingredients and packaging to rise modestly over the balance of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2013, and expects to recover these higher costs through price increases or cost reduction measures. The Company’s contracts for sugar also cover substantially all of its estimated fiscal 2015 requirements.
Shop labor as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.6 percentage points from the first three months of fiscal 2013 to 16.8% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher revenues and a shift in sales mix toward on-premises sales compared to the prior year.
Delivery labor as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.4 percentage points from the first three months of fiscal 2013 to 7.7% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014, principally due to a reduction in wholesale sales as a percentage of total Company Stores sales.
Vehicle costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 6.1% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2013 to 5.4% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher sales resulting from volume increases, lower fuel costs due to a reduction in mileage as a result of account rationalization, and an increase in average weekly sales per door which generally results in reduced transportation costs per sales dollar.
Many segment operating costs are fixed or semi-fixed in nature and, accordingly, segment profit margins are sensitive to changes in sales volumes.
Depreciation expense was flat at 2.9% of sales in the first three months of fiscal 2014 and the first three months of fiscal 2013. Depreciation expense increased to $2.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $2.1 million in first three months of fiscal 2013 due to increased capital expenditures, including construction of new stores, store refurbishment efforts on existing stores and investments in information technology systems.
Other segment operating costs increased to 4.5% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from 3.6% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2013, reflecting an increase in legal costs of approximately $400,000 related principally to the litigation associated with Company’s former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) requires businesses employing fifty or more full-time equivalent employees to offer health care benefits to those full-time employees beginning in January 2014, or be subject to an annual penalty. Those benefits must be provided under a health care plan which provides a certain minimum scope of health care services. The Act limits the portion of the cost of the benefits which the Company can require employees to pay.
The Company currently employs a substantial number of persons to whom the Company does not currently provide health care benefits but who could be entitled to receive health care benefits under the Act. The Company does not know the amount by which its costs will increase assuming the above provisions of the Act are implemented in January 2014 because, among other reasons, many of the specifics relating to implementation, including certain of the specifics of the coverage required to be offered, are to be contained in regulations which have not yet been drafted. In addition, the Company does not know how many of the potentially newly-eligible employees will elect to obtain coverage under the Act.
However, based on information currently available to the Company and the Company’s analyses to-date and its current cost estimates, management currently does not expect that the aggregate incremental cost of providing health care coverage prescribed by the Act will exceed its current costs by more than approximately $5 million annually. The Company currently believes its incremental costs will be less than such amount, and may be substantially less. The Company is continuing to study and evaluate the requirements of the Act, and the Company’s estimate of the additional cost of providing benefits mandated by the Act is expected to change as the Company gains additional information and makes decisions affecting its implementation of the Act’s requirements.

Domestic Franchise revenues increased 9.0% to $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase reflects higher domestic royalty revenues resulting from an increase in sales by domestic franchise stores from $72 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $81 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Domestic Franchise same store sales rose 11.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Domestic Franchise operating expenses include costs to recruit new domestic franchisees, to assist in domestic store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of domestic franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. Domestic Franchise operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 reflect increased costs related to the addition of new personnel hired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and other costs associated with the execution of the Company’s domestic franchise expansion program. The Company expects to continue to incur additional franchise costs in connection with management’s plan to reengage in franchise expansion efforts to drive domestic franchise unit growth.
Domestic franchisees opened one store in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. On February 22, 2013, a new domestic franchisee who was a former employee of the Company acquired three Krispy Kreme stores from the Company as more fully described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. As of May 5, 2013, existing development and franchise agreements for territories in the United States provide for the development of approximately 50 additional stores through fiscal 2020. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

International Franchise royalties increased 5.4%, driven by an increase in sales by international franchise stores from $105 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $110 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Changes in the rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in which the Company’s international franchisees do business decreased sales by international franchisees measured in U.S. dollars by approximately $3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which adversely affected international royalty revenues by approximately $220,000.
International Franchise same store sales, measured on a constant currency basis to remove the effects of changing exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (“constant dollar same store sales”), fell 7.3%. The decline in International Franchise same store sales reflects, among other things, waning honeymoon effects from the large number of new stores opened internationally in recent years and the cannibalization effects on initial stores in new markets of additional store openings in those markets. “Cannibalization effect” means the tendency for new stores to become successful, in part or in whole, by “shifting” sales from existing stores in the same market. “Honeymoon effect” means the common pattern for many start-up restaurants in which a flurry of activity due to start-up publicity and natural curiosity is followed by a decline during which a steady repeat customer base develops.
Constant dollar same store sales in established markets increased 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fell 17.1% in new markets. “Established markets” means countries in which the first Krispy Kreme store opened before fiscal 2007. Sales at stores in established markets comprised approximately 51% of aggregate constant dollar same store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. While the Company considers countries in which Krispy Kreme first opened before fiscal 2007 to be established markets, franchisees in those markets continue to develop their business. Of the 490 international shops currently in operation that opened since the beginning of fiscal 2007, 207 shops are in these established markets.
International Franchise operating expenses include costs to recruit new international franchisees, to assist in international store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of international franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. International Franchise operating expenses increased to $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, principally reflecting higher personnel and personnel-related costs to support continuing and anticipated international growth, as well as a provision for potential uncollectible accounts of approximately $120,000. Management expects International Franchise operating expenses to continue to rise in the balance of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2013 due to personnel additions to support international franchise growth, as well as anticipated fiscal 2014 shop openings in new markets which typically require a greater level of franchisor support than openings in existing markets.
International franchisees opened 27 stores and closed four stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As of May 5, 2013, existing development and franchise agreements for territories outside the United States provide for the development of approximately 360 additional stores through fiscal 2019. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

KK Supply Chain revenues before intersegment sales elimination increased 11.2% in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013.
Sales of doughnut mixes rose 11.7% year-over-year in the first three months of fiscal 2014, reflecting higher unit volumes and higher selling prices resulting from an increase in raw materials costs.
Sales of other ingredients, packaging and supplies, made principally to Company and Domestic Franchise stores, rose 6.8% year-over-year in the first three months of fiscal 2014 principally due to higher selling prices and higher unit volumes reflecting higher sales at Company and franchise shops.
Equipment sales increased to $2.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $1.2 million due to increased equipment sales for new store openings and anticipated store openings, along with increased sales of replacement parts.
KK Supply Chain utilizes a fuel surcharge program to recoup additional freight costs resulting from increases in fuel costs. Charges under the program are based upon the price of diesel fuel.
KK Supply Chain cost of sales decreased to 70.6% of revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to 71.4% of revenues in the first three months of the preceding fiscal year. The cost of goods produced and purchased fell 1.1 percentage points, approximately half of which was due to lower provisions for obsolete and excess equipment inventories.
KK Supply Chain had net losses on agricultural derivative positions of $170,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to net gains of $51,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company has not designated any of its derivative positions as cash flow hedges and accordingly, changes in the market value of those positions are reflected in earnings as they occur.
Other segment operating costs include segment management, purchasing, customer service and support, laboratory and quality control costs, and research and development expenses. These costs reflect a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately $140,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013. The reduction in bad debt expense principally relates to a bad debt provision recorded in the first three months of fiscal 2013 related to a specific franchisee who filed for bankruptcy ; such bad debt was recovered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 when the franchisee’s operations were acquired by another franchisee which paid the past due amounts in connection with the acquisition of the franchise.
39
Franchisees opened 28 stores and closed four stores in the first three months of fiscal 2014. A substantial portion of KK Supply Chain’s revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
A significant portion of franchise store sales is attributable to sales by franchisees outside the United States. The Company sells doughnut mixes, either manufactured by the Company in the United States or blended by contract mix manufacturers using concentrates supplied by the Company, to all its international franchisees. Most of these franchisees purchase substantially all other ingredients, packaging and supplies through sourcing arrangements approved by the Company. Accordingly, KK Supply Chain revenues are less correlated with sales by international franchisees than with sales by domestic franchisees, which purchase substantially all of their ingredients from KK Supply Chain. Like all international businesses, the Company and its international franchisees must address the risks of international trade, including taxes, tariffs, duties and transportation costs, which can affect the franchisees’ product costs and therefore indirectly affect the pace of development. The Company, in cooperation with its international franchisees, continually seeks to mitigate the impact of these factors. For example, the Company has developed premix and concentrate doughnut mix production models, and has been continuously pursuing alternative sourcing arrangements in various markets.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $6.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 5.0% from 6.0%, respectively.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects a decrease in share-based compensation of $557,000. Share-based compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included approximately $600,000 related principally to a January 2012 grant to an executive officer who achieved retirement eligibility under the terms of the Company’s stock compensation plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Share-based payment awards to retirement eligible persons are charged to expense over the period from the grant date to the date of retirement eligibility rather than being amortized over the four-year vesting period of the awards, which has the effect of accelerating the recognition of the expense associated with awards to such persons as they approach retirement eligibility.
In addition, provisions for incentive compensation rose $400,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 include approximately $1.0 million of incentive compensation provisions to reflect fiscal 2014 operating results (with an additional charge of approximately $1.2 million included in direct operating expenses) compared to $600,000 of incentive compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (with an additional charge of approximately $600,000 included in direct operating expenses).
Impairment Charges and Lease Termination Costs
Impairment charges and lease termination costs were $8,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $31,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2013.

Impairment of long-lived assets | $ | - | | $ | - |
Lease termination costs | | 8 | | | 31 |
| $ | 8 | | $ | 31 |
The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company’s annual budgeting process. Impairment charges generally relate to Company stores expected to be closed or refranchised, as well as to stores management believes will not generate sufficient future cash flows to enable the Company to recover the carrying value of the stores’ assets, but which management has not yet decided to close. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values of these assets are estimated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, on independent appraisals and, in the case of assets the Company currently is negotiating to sell, based on the Company’s negotiations with unrelated third-party buyers.

Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities were estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.
The Company intends to refranchise certain geographic markets, expected to consist principally of, but not necessarily limited to, markets outside the Company’s traditional base in the Southeastern United States. The franchise rights and other assets in many of these markets were acquired by the Company in business combinations in prior years.
From the beginning of fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2013, the Company has refranchised a total of 11 stores and received consideration totaling $2.5 million in connection with those transactions. During this period, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $490,000 related to completed and anticipated refranchisings.
On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss on the refranchising transaction.
The Company cannot predict the likelihood of refranchising any additional stores or markets or the amount of proceeds, if any, which might be received therefrom, including the amounts which might be realized from the sale of store assets and the execution of any related franchise agreements. Asset dispositions associated with future refranchisings could result in the recognition of impairment losses on the related assets.
Interest Expense
The components of interest expense are as follows:
| Three Months Ended |
| May 5, | | April 29, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| (In thousands) |
Interest accruing on outstanding term loan indebtedness | $ | 153 | | $ | 187 |
Letter of credit and unused revolver fees | | 74 | | | 75 |
Amortization of cost of interest rate derivatives | | 19 | | | 2 |
Amortization of deferred financing costs | | 124 | | | 103 |
Other | | 67 | | | 31 |
| $ | 437 | | $ | 398 |
The decrease in interest accruing on outstanding indebtedness reflects the reduction in the principal outstanding under the Company’s term loan.
Equity in Income (Losses) of Equity Method Franchisees
The Company recorded equity in the losses of equity method franchisees of $53,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to losses of $50,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This caption represents the Company’s share of operating results of equity method franchisees which develop and operate Krispy Kreme stores.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 45.8% for the three months ended May 5, 2013 compared to 42.6% for the three months ended April 29, 2012.
41
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended May 5, 2013 includes a charge of approximately $575,000 to correct an error in accruals for uncertain tax positions that originated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. This resulted in an increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 of 3.9%. The error, which related to a previous misunderstanding of the application of the statute of limitations, and its correction were not material to the results of any period; accordingly, the error was corrected in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and prior financial statements were not restated.
The portion of the income tax provision representing taxes estimated to be payable currently was $646,000 and $231,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, consisting principally of foreign withholding taxes related to royalties and franchise fees paid to the Company by international franchisees. The current provision for income taxes also reflects adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions, including potential interest and penalties which could result from the resolution of such uncertainties.
The Company’s estimated effective income tax rate on GAAP ordinary income for fiscal 2014 is 43%. Management’s estimate of the fiscal 2014 effective income tax rate is subject to revision in subsequent quarters as additional information becomes available.
See Results of Operations – Three months ended May 5, 2013 compared to three months ended April 29, 2012 – “Adjusted Net Income” above for non-GAAP financial information disclosures and related reconciliation to GAAP measures intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.
The Company had valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets of $9.8 million at May 5, 2013 and February 3, 2013, representing the portion of such deferred tax assets which, as of such dates, management estimated would not be realized. Under GAAP, future realization of deferred tax assets is evaluated under a “more likely than not” standard. Realization of net deferred tax assets generally is dependent on generation of taxable income in future periods. From fiscal 2005 until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets equal to the entire excess of those assets over the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of those assets. Such uncertainty arose principally from the substantial losses incurred by the Company from fiscal 2005 though fiscal 2009.
The Company reported a pretax profit of $418,000 in fiscal 2010 and $8.9 million in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2012, the Company’s pretax profit increased to $30.4 million, inclusive of a $6.2 million non-recurring gain from the Company’s sale of its 30% interest in KK Mexico. After considering all relevant factors having an impact on the likelihood of future realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 management concluded that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized in future years and, in accordance with GAAP, reversed $139.6 million of the valuation allowance, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes.
Two of the most significant factors considered by management in reaching its conclusion were that the Company earned a significant pretax profit in both fiscal 2011 and 2012 and the positive trend in the Company’s earnings. In fiscal 2013, the Company’s pretax income rose to $36.3 million.
The evaluation of the amount of net deferred tax assets expected to be realized necessarily involves forecasting the amount of taxable income that will be generated in future years. In addition, because a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that are subject to expiration, the specific future periods in which taxable income is generated may have a material effect on the amount of deferred tax assets that ultimately are realized. The Company has forecasted future results using estimates management believes to be reasonable and which are based on objective verifiable evidence. The most important factor considered by management in making its forecast was the Company’s results of operations for fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013. Assuming the Company generates pretax income in each future year approximating the Company’s average pretax income over that period, management estimates that approximately $116 million of its deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods. The decrease in the amount of deferred income tax assets expected to be realized from January 29, 2012 to February 3, 2013 reflected the realization in fiscal 2013 of approximately $13 million of such assets and the loss of approximately $9.8 million of income tax benefits associated with the expiration in fiscal 2013 of warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock issued in prior years, as more fully described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2013.
The remaining valuation allowance of $9.8 million represents the portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss carryforwards having relatively short carryover periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused.
42
The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management’s forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.
As described above, in making its estimate of the amount of deferred tax assets which will be realized in future periods, the Company estimated annual future pretax income of approximately $24 million. Based on that estimate, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $9.8 million was appropriate. A 10% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have had no material effect on management’s determination of the amount of deferred tax valuation allowance. A 20% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have caused management’s determination of the appropriate valuation allowance to increase from $9.8 million to approximately $14.6 million. If the Company’s earnings remain at current levels or continue to increase, it is reasonably likely that management would conclude that its estimate of annual income in future years should increase. For example, if management concluded that a future annual earnings forecast of $34 million, which approximates fiscal 2013 pretax income measured on a 52 week basis, were appropriate, then the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance would be reduced by approximately $3 million, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes. Management believes that because estimates of future earnings are inherently subjective, and because such estimates necessarily involve forecasting many years into the future, frequent revisions to such estimates should not be expected. While the Company’s results of operations continued to improve in fiscal 2013 and exceeded management’s estimated annual pretax income for future years of $24 million described above, the Company believes that additional evidence is necessary before concluding that the level of pretax income achieved in fiscal 2013 is sustainable on a long-term basis. Management believes that such evidence should include, among other things, at least one additional year, subsequent to fiscal 2013, of pretax profits substantially in excess of $24 million before it would be appropriate for management to revise upward its estimate of future annual pretax income. Management revisited this conclusion as of May 5, 2013, and determined that such conclusion remained appropriate. As a result, absent the occurrence of some event or events not currently known, management does not anticipate adjusting its estimate of future earnings until the end of fiscal 2014, although management will continue to revisit this assessment at the end of each remaining quarter of fiscal 2014 and determine whether such conclusion remains appropriate.
Net Income
The Company reported net income of $8.0 million for the three months ended May 5, 2013 and $6.0 million for the three months ended April 29, 2012.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.
| Three Months Ended |
| May 5, | | April 29, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| (In thousands) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 14,393 | | | $ | 10,364 | |
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities | | (4,663 | ) | | | (1,312 | ) |
Net cash used for financing activities | | (1,339 | ) | | | (1,847 | ) |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 8,391 | | | $ | 7,205 | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.4 million and $10.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. Higher cash operating income accounted for a majority of the improvement. Improved operating result generated $18.0 million of operating cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recovered a cash deposit of $2.0 million related to the lease of its corporate headquarters. These cash flow improvements were partially offset by higher inventory levels related to anticipated equipment sales and to a temporary rise in certain inventories related to a change in certain ingredients. The remainder of the change in cash flows from operating activities principally reflects normal fluctuations in working capital.
43
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $4.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $1.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013.
Cash used for capital expenditures increased to $5.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $1.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013. The components of capital expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were approximately as follows:
| Three Months Ended |
| May 5, | | April 29, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| (In thousands) |
New store construction | $ | 1,395 | | $ | - |
Store remodels and betterments | | 1,261 | | | 919 |
Other store equipment, including vehicles and point-of-sale and handheld equipment | | 1,448 | | | 157 |
Corporate office remodel | | 1,058 | | | 138 |
Corporate information technology | | 75 | | | 42 |
Other | | 222 | | | 61 |
| $ | 5,459 | | $ | 1,317 |
The Company currently expects capital expenditures to range from approximately $23 million to $35 million in fiscal 2014. The Company intends to fund these capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities, from existing cash balances and, to a lesser extent, through leases.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $1.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, compared to $1.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013.
During the first three months of fiscal 2014, the Company repaid approximately $1.6 million of outstanding term loan and capitalized lease indebtedness, consisting of approximately $550,000 of scheduled principal amortization, $930,000 of prepayments from the sale of assets, and $130,000 of prepayments from the proceeds of the exercise of stock options.
During the first three months of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid approximately $545,000 of scheduled principal amortization of outstanding term loan and capitalized lease indebtedness.
On March 27, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock. Through April 29, 2012, the Company repurchased 255,000 shares at an average cost of $7.27 per share, for a total cost of $1.9 million. Approximately $1.3 million of such repurchases were settled during the first three months of fiscal 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance permits, but does not require, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes from the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the 2013 Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of May 5, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of May 5, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended May 5, 2013, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Pending Matters
Except as disclosed below, the Company currently is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
K² Asia Litigation
On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K2 Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages. The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
Colchester Security Litigation
On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company. The plaintiff seeks $2.7 million in damages. The Company denies the allegations and intends to pursue counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease. No liability has been recorded with respect to this matter because management does not believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred. In March 2013, both parties agreed to avail themselves of the Fairfax County Court’s alternate dispute resolution program, and the matter has been set for binding arbitration to commence on June 20, 2013.
