DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (“DRH”) is a fast-growing restaurant company operating two complementary concepts: Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burger Tavern ® (“Bagger Dave’s”) and Buffalo Wild Wings® (“BWW”). As the creator, developer, and operator of Bagger Dave’s and one of the largest franchisees of BWW, we provide a unique guest experience in a casual and inviting environment. We are committed to providing value to our guests through offering generous portions of flavorful food in an upbeat and entertaining atmosphere. We believe Bagger Dave’s and DRH-owned BWW are uniquely-positioned restaurant brands designed to maximize appeal to our guests. Both restaurant concepts offer competitive price points and a family-friendly atmosphere, which we believe enables consistent performance through economic cycles. We were incorporated in 2006 and are headquartered in the Detroit metropolitan area. As of June 30, 2013, we have 48 locations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri. Of these restaurants, 47 are corporate-owned and one is franchised by a third party.
Our roots can be traced to 1999, when our founder, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, T. Michael Ansley, opened his first BWW restaurant in Sterling Heights, Michigan. By late 2004, Mr. Ansley and his business partners owned and operated seven BWW franchised restaurants and formed AMC Group, LLC as an operating center for those locations. In 2006, DRH was formed and several entities, including AMC Group, LLC, were reorganized to provide the framework and financial flexibility to grow as a franchisee of BWW and to develop and grow our Bagger Dave’s concept. In 2008, DRH became public by completing a self-underwritten initial public offering for approximately $735,000 and 140,000 shares. We subsequently completed an underwritten, follow-on offering on April 23, 2013 of 6.9 million shares with net proceeds of $32.0 million.
Mr. Ansley has received various awards from Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. (“BWLD”), including awards for highest annual restaurant sales and operator of the year. In September 2007, Mr. Ansley was awarded Franchisee of the Year by the International Franchise Association (“IFA”). The IFA’s membership consists of over 12,600 franchisee members and over 1,100 franchisor members.
Today, DRH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), which includes AMC Group, Inc. (“AMC”), AMC Wings, Inc. (“WINGS”), and AMC Burgers, Inc. (“BURGERS”), own and operate Bagger Dave's and DRH-owned BWW restaurants located throughout Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
DRH originated the Bagger Dave’s concept, with our first restaurant opening in January 2008 in Berkley, Michigan. Currently, there are 11 corporate-owned Bagger Dave’s in Michigan, two corporate-owned Bagger Dave’s in Indiana, and one franchised location in Missouri. The Company plans to operate approximately 50 Bagger Dave’s corporate-owned locations by the end of 2017.
DRH is also one of the largest BWW franchisees and currently operates 35 DRH-owned BWW restaurants (17 in Michigan, 10 in Florida, four in Illinois, and four in Indiana), including the nation’s largest BWW, based on square footage, in downtown Detroit, Michigan. We remain on track to fulfill our area development agreement (“ADA”) with BWLD. Per the ADA with BWLD, we expect to operate 47 DRH-owned BWW by the end of 2017. DRH also has the rights to develop another location in Indiana, which was acquired in the September 2012 acquisition. See Note 2 for details.
The following organizational chart outlines the current corporate structure of DRH. A brief textual description of the entities follows the organizational chart. DRH is incorporated in Nevada.
AMC was formed on March 28, 2007 and serves as our operational and administrative center. AMC renders management, operational support, and advertising services to WINGS and its subsidiaries and BURGERS and its subsidiaries. Services rendered by AMC include marketing, restaurant operations, restaurant management consultation, hiring and training of management and staff, and other management services reasonably required in the ordinary course of restaurant operations.
WINGS was formed on March 12, 2007 and serves as a holding company for our DRH-owned BWW restaurants. We are economically dependent on retaining our franchise rights with BWLD. The franchise agreements have specific initial term expiration dates ranging from January 28, 2014 through May 7, 2033, depending on the date each was executed and the duration of its initial term. The franchise agreements are renewable at the option of the franchisor and are generally renewable if the franchisee has complied with the franchise agreement. When factoring in any applicable renewals, the franchise agreements have specific expiration dates ranging from January 27, 2019 through May 3, 2048. We believe we are currently in compliance with the terms of these agreements.
BURGERS was formed on March 12, 2007 and serves as a holding company for our Bagger Dave’s restaurants. Bagger Dave’s Franchising Corporation, a subsidiary of BURGERS, was formed to act as the franchisor for the Bagger Dave’s concept and has rights to franchise in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. We do not intend to pursue significant franchise development at this time.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
We consolidate all variable interest entities (“VIE”) where we are the primary beneficiary. For VIE, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIE. The primary beneficiary of VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. Prior to our acquisition of 100.0% of its membership interests on September 25, 2012, we consolidated Ansley Group, LLC as a VIE because we leased and maintained substantially all of its assets to operate our Clinton Township, Michigan BWW restaurant and we guaranteed all of its debt. See Note 2 for details.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial information as of June 30, 2013 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.
The financial information as of December 30, 2012 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, which is included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements.
The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 29, 2013.
Fiscal Year
The Company utilizes a 52- or 53-week accounting period that ends on the last Sunday in December. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q is for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, each comprising 13 weeks.
Concentration Risks
Approximately 61.0% and 75.0% of the Company's revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, are generated from food and beverage sales from restaurants located in Michigan.
Investments
The Company’s investment securities are classified as available for sale. Investments classified as available for sale are available to be sold in the future in response to the Company’s liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, tax strategies, and asset-liability management strategies, among other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity, net of deferred taxes and, accordingly, have no effect on net income. Realized gains or losses on sale of investments are determined on the basis of specific costs of the investments. Dividend income is recognized when declared and interest income is recognized when earned. Discount or premium on debt securities purchased at other than par value are amortized using the effective yield method. See Note 3 for details.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements with a bank to fix interest rates on a portion of the Company’s portfolio of variable rate debt, which reduces exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use any other types of derivative financial instruments to hedge such exposures, nor does it use derivatives for speculative purposes.
Prior to the debt restructure on April 2, 2012 (see Note 7 for details), the interest rate swap agreements did not qualify for hedge accounting. As such, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the swap agreements in change in fair value of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of income. The interest rate swap agreements associated with the Company’s current debt agreements do qualify for hedge accounting. As such, the Company records the change in the fair value of its swap agreements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company records the fair value of its interest rate swaps on the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities depending on the fair value of the swaps. See Note 7 and Note 14 for additional information on the interest rate swap agreements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We reviewed all significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to our operations or that no material effect is expected on our consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.
2. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
On September 25, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Crown Wings, Inc., Brewsters, Inc., Valpo Wings, Inc., Buffaloville Wings, Inc., and Hammond Wings, Inc., each an Indiana corporation, and Homewood Wings, Inc., Cal City Wings, Inc., Lansing Wings, Inc., and Lincoln Park Wings, Inc., each an Illinois corporation (collectively, the “Indiana and Illinois Entities”). The purchase price for the acquisition was $14.7 million. The acquired assets consist of four BWW restaurants operating in Indiana and four operating in Illinois along with the right to develop a fifth BWW restaurant in Indiana.
On September 25, 2012, the Company also acquired 100.0% of the membership interests in the Ansley Group, LLC for approximately $2.5 million. The purchase was approved by the Company's disinterested directors who determined that the purchase price was fair to the Company based upon an independent appraisal. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has acquired full ownership rights in the Clinton Township BWW restaurant. The Ansley Group, LLC was owned by T. Michael Ansley and Thomas D. Ansley. T. Michael Ansley is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, and CEO and a principal shareholder of the Company. This allowed us to unwind the Ansley Group VIE accounting treatment and eliminate the related non-controlling interest in the fourth quarter of 2012.
On April 23, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten, follow-on equity offering of 6.9 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share to the public. The net proceeds to DRH from the offering were $32.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 17, 2013. Refer to the follow-on offering (Form S-1/A) filed on April 15, 2013 for additional information.
The Company invested $12.7 million, using proceeds from the follow-on offering, in highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of less than one year. These are temporary investments while the Company looks to invest them in growth opportunities for new store openings. These investments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes and are classified as available-for-sale. We invested with a strategy focused on principal preservation. Changes in interest rates affect the investment income we earn on our marketable securities and, therefore, impact our cash flows and results of operations. See Note 3 for additional information.
3. INVESTMENTS
Investments consist of available-for-sale securities that are carried at fair value. Available-for-sale securities are classified as current assets based upon our intent and ability to use any and all of the securities as necessary to satisfy the operational requirements of our business. Based on the call date of the investments all securities have maturities of one year or less. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary.
The cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value of available-for-sale securities by type are as follows:

On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into a $24.0 million senior secured credit facility with RBS Citizens, N.A. (“RBS”) (“April 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which consisted of a $16.0 million term loan, a $7.0 million development line of credit, and a $1.0 million revolving line of credit. The April 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility was for a term of seven years and bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus a LIBOR margin (as defined in the agreement), which ranged from 2.5% to 3.4%, depending on the Company’s lease adjusted leverage ratio. Principal and interest payments on the April 2012 term loan were to be amortized over seven years, with monthly principal payments of approximately $191,000 plus accrued interest. The April 2012 term loan was paid off in conjunction with the September 2012 credit facility discussed below.
On September 25, 2012, the Company entered into a $37.0 million senior secured credit facility with RBS (the “September 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The September 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $37.0 million term loan (“September 2012 Term Loan”), a $10.0 million development line of credit, and a $1.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company used approximately $15.2 million of the September 2012 Term Loan to refinance existing outstanding debt with RBS and used approximately $3.3 million of the September 2012 Term Loan to refinance and term out the outstanding balance of the existing development line of credit loan between the Company and RBS. Additionally, on September 25, 2012, approximately $14.7 million of the September 2012 Term Loan was used to complete the acquisition of the Indiana and Illinois Entities (with rights to develop another restaurant in Indiana) and approximately $2.5 million of the September 2012 Term Loan was used to purchase 100.0% of the membership interests in the Ansley Group, LLC. The remaining balance of the September 2012 Term Loan, approximately $1.3 million, was used to pay the fees, costs, and expenses associated with either the above acquisitions or arising in connection with the closing of the loans constituting the September 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The September 2012 Term Loan was for a period of five years. Payments of principal were based upon an 84-month straight-line amortization schedule, with monthly principal payments of $440,476 plus accrued interest. The interest rate for the September 2012 Term Loan was LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 2.5% to 3.7%, depending on the lease adjusted leverage ratio defined in the terms of the agreement. The entire remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest on the September 2012 Term Loan was due and payable on the maturity date of September 25, 2017. Borrowings under the September 2012 Senior Secured Credit Facility were restructured as part of the April 2013 credit facility discussed below.
On April 15, 2013, the Company entered into a $63.0 million senior secured credit facility with RBS (the “April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a $46.0 million term loan (the “April 2013 Term Loan”), a $15.0 million development line of credit (the “April 2013 DLOC”), and a $2.0 million revolving line of credit (the “April 2013 RLOC”) for $2.0 million. The Company immediately used approximately $34.0 million of the April 2013 Term Loan to refinance existing outstanding debt with RBS, approximately $10.0 million of the April 2013 Term Loan to refinance and term out the outstanding balance of the existing development line of credit loan between the Company and RBS, and approximately $800,000 of the April 2013 Term Loan to refinance and term out the outstanding balance of the existing revolving line of credit loan between the Company and RBS. The remaining balance of the April 2013 Term Loan, approximately $1.2 million, was used for working capital as well as to pay the fees, costs, and expenses arising in connection with the closing of the April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The April 2013 Term Loan is for a period of five years. Payments of principal are based upon a 60-month straight-line amortization schedule, with monthly principal payments of $547,619 plus accrued interest. The entire remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest on the April 2013 Term Loan is due and payable on its maturity date of April 15, 2018. The April 2013 DLOC is for a term of two years and is convertible upon maturity into a term note. The April 2013 RLOC is for a term of two years. Amounts borrowed under the April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 2.5% to 3.4%, depending on the lease adjusted leverage ratio defined in the terms of the agreement. On May 15, 2013, the Company paid down $10.0 million on its April 2013 Term Loan in satisfaction of its post-offering requirement to RBS to utilize up to 40.0% of the offering proceeds for such purpose.
Based on the long-term debt terms that existed at June 30, 2013, the scheduled principal maturities for the next five years succeeding June 30, 2013 and thereafter are summarized as follows:
Year | Amount | |||
2014 | $ | 6,902,803 | ||
2015 | 7,179,078 | |||
2016 | 7,181,902 | |||
2017 | 7,185,269 | |||
2018 | 10,193,193 | |||
Thereafter | 1,603,557 | |||
Total | $ | 40,245,802 |
Interest expense was $585,637 and $253,103 (including related party interest expense of $0 and $10,593) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively. Interest expense was $1.1 million and $565,644 (including related party interest expense of $0 and $52,724) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively.
The above agreements contain various customary financial covenants generally based on the performance of the specific borrowing entity and other related entities. The more significant covenants consist of a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a maximum lease adjusted leverage ratio, both of which we are in compliance with as of June 30, 2013.
At June 30, 2013, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements to fix a portion of the interest rates on its variable rate. Both of the swap agreements were entered into in 2012 and qualify for hedge accounting. The swap agreements have a combined notional amount of $18.4 million at June 30, 2013, which will amortize to zero by April 2019. Under the swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4% (notional amount of $13.1 million) and 0.9% (notional amount of $5.3 million) and receives interest at the one-month LIBOR. The fair value of these swap agreements was $150,381 and $430,751 at June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. Since these swap agreements qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
On July 8, 2013, the Company entered into a $15.0 million interest rate swap agreement to fix the unhedged variable rate debt. The inception date of the swap agreement is July 8, 2013, with an effective date of December 2, 2013 and a notional amount of $15.0 million which amortizes to zero at maturity on April 2, 2018. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.41% and receives interest at the one-month LIBOR. Because this swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting, DRH will record the change in fair value as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
8. CAPITAL STOCK (INCLUDING PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS)
In 2011, the Company established the Stock Incentive Plan of 2011 (“Stock Incentive Plan”) to attract and retain directors, consultants, and team members and to more fully align their interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders through the opportunity for increased stock ownership. The plan permits the grant and award of 750,000 shares of common stock by way of stock options and/or restricted stock. Stock options must be awarded at exercise prices at least equal to or greater than 100.0% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options will expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant, with vesting terms to be defined at grant date, ranging from a vesting schedule based on performance to a vesting schedule that extends over a period of time as selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) or other committee as determined by the Board of Directors. The Committee also determines the grant, issuance, retention, and vesting timing and conditions of awards of restricted stock. The Committee may place limitations, such as continued employment, passage of time, and/or performance measures, on restricted stock. Awards of restricted stock may not provide for vesting or settlement in full of restricted stock over a period of less than one year from the date the award is made. The Stock Incentive Plan was approved by our shareholders on May 26, 2011.
During fiscal years 2011 through 2013, restricted shares were issued to certain team members at a weighted-average grant date fair value between $3.10 and $7.00, respectively. Restricted shares are granted with a per share purchase price at 100.0% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense will be recognized over the expected vesting period in an amount equal to the fair market value of such awards on the date of grant.
The following table presents the restricted shares transactions as of June 30, 2013:
Number of Restricted Stock Shares | ||||
Unvested, December 30, 2012 | 54,900 | |||
Granted | 145,375 | |||
Vested | (13,167 | ) | ||
Expired/Forfeited | (47,899 | ) | ||
Unvested, June 30, 2013 | 139,209 |
The following table presents the restricted shares transactions as of June 24, 2012:
Number of Restricted Stock Shares | ||||
Unvested, December 25, 2011 | 60,800 | |||
Granted | 20,000 | |||
Vested | - | |||
Expired/Forfeited | (11,000 | ) | ||
Unvested, June 24, 2012 | 69,800 |
Under the Stock Incentive Plan, there are 597,625 shares available for future awards at June 30, 2013.
On July 30, 2007, DRH granted options for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. These options vested ratably over a three-year period and were set to expire six years from issuance. At June 30, 2013, all 150,000 options were fully vested and were exercised either through cash or cashless exercise at a price of $2.50 per share.
On July 31, 2010, prior to the Stock Incentive Plan, DRH granted options for the purchase of 210,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company. These options vest ratably over a three-year period and expire six years from issuance. Once vested, the options can be exercised at a price of $2.50 per share. Consequently, at June 30, 2013, 210,000 shares of authorized common stock are reserved for issuance to provide for the exercise of these options.
Stock-based compensation of $56,053 and $53,815 was recognized, during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, and $135,105 and $106,948 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, as compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations and as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity to reflect the fair value of shares vested. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of unvested shares is $0 and $87,926 as of June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the unvested shares was amortized ratably over the vesting term and, as of June 30, 2013, the amount is been fully vested. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years and a risk-free rate of return represented by the U.S. 5-year Treasury Bond rate and volatility factor based on guidance as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718,Compensation–Stock Compensation. A dividend yield of 0.0% was used because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the reasonably foreseeable future.
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.0001. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2013. Any preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, dividend limitations, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption shall be set forth and adopted by a Board of Directors' resolution prior to issuance of any series of preferred stock.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company expects the deferred tax assets to be fully realizable within the next several years. Significant components of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:
June 30 2013 | December 30 2012 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 1,605,421 | $ | 1,665,744 | ||||

Tax depreciation in excess of book | 3,166,008 | 3,126,596 | ||||||
Net deferred income tax asset | $ | 741,956 | $ | 846,746 |
If deemed necessary by management, the Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 ("ASC 740"),Income Taxes. Management continually reviews the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized and the Company recognizes these benefits only as reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will be realized.
The Company expects to use net operating loss and general business tax credit carryforwards before its 20-year expiration. A significant amount of net operating loss carry forwards were used when the Company purchased nine affiliated restaurants in 2010, which were previously managed by DRH. Federal net operating loss carry forwards of $4.7 million will expire between 2029 and 2034. General business tax credits of $1.8 million will expire between 2028 and 2034.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740 regarding the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. There are no amounts recorded on the Company's consolidated financial statements for uncertain positions. The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense. There are no accrued interest amounts or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013.
The Company is a member of a unitary group with other parties related by common ownership according to the provisions of the Michigan Business Tax Act. This group will file a single tax return for all members. An allocation of the current and deferred Michigan business tax incurred by the unitary group has been made based on an estimate of Michigan business tax attributable to the Company and has been reflected as state income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consistent with the provisions of ASC 740.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.
10. OPERATING LEASES (INCLUDING RELATED PARTY)
Lease terms range from four to 15 years, generally include renewal options, and frequently require us to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other operating costs. Some restaurant leases provide for contingent rental payments based on sales thresholds.
Total rent expense was $1.3 million and $733,124 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively (of which $18,755 and $23,358, respectively, were paid to a related party). Total rent expense was $2.5 million and $1.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively (of which $37,574 and $46,717, respectively, were paid to a related party).
Scheduled future minimum lease payments for each of the five years and thereafter for non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year at June 30, 2013 are summarized as follows:
Year | Amount | |||

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company assumed, from a related entity, an ADA with BWLD in which the Company undertakes to open 23 BWW restaurants within its designated "development territory", as defined by the agreement, by October 1, 2016. On December 12, 2008, this agreement was amended, adding nine additional restaurants and extending the date of fulfillment to March 1, 2017. Failure to develop restaurants in accordance with the schedule detailed in the agreement could lead to potential penalties of up to $50,000 for each undeveloped restaurant, payment of the initial franchise fees for each undeveloped restaurant, and loss of rights to development territory. As of June 30, 2013, of the 32 restaurants required to be opened under the ADA, 21 of these restaurants had been opened for business. The remaining 11 restaurants under the ADA agreement, along with an additional franchise agreement in Indiana, suggest that the Company will operate 47 BWW restaurants by 2017.
The Company is required to pay BWLD royalties (5.0% of net sales) and advertising fund contributions (3.0% of net sales globally and 0.5% of net sales for certain cities) for the term of the individual franchise agreements. The Company incurred $1.2 million and $728,432 in royalty expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 and $2.4 million and $1.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively. Advertising fund contribution expenses were $780,659 on and $443,780 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 and $1.6 million and $905,440 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively.
The Company is required, by its various BWLD franchise agreements, to modernize the restaurants during the term of the agreements. The individual agreements generally require improvements between the fifth and tenth year to meet the most current design model that BWLD has approved. The modernization costs can range from approximately $50,000 to approximately $500,000, depending on the individual restaurants’ needs.
In 2011, we launched a defined contribution 401(k) plan whereby eligible team members may contribute pre-tax wages in accordance with the provisions of the plan. We match 100.0% of the first 3.0% and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of contributions made by eligible team members. Matching contributions of approximately $59,547 and $65,232 were made by us during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, and $120,246 and $130,137 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively.
The Company is subject to ordinary and routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims, and threatened litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. While unfavorable outcomes could have adverse effects on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition, management believes that the Company is adequately insured and does not believe that any pending or threatened proceedings would adversely impact the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Therefore, no separate reserve has been established for these types of legal proceedings.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The guidance for fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:
● | Level 1 | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; |
● | Level 2 | Inputs, other than level 1 inputs, either directly or indirectly observable; and |
● | Level 3 | Unobservable inputs developed using internal estimates and assumptions (there is little or no market data) which reflect those that market participants would use. |
As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, our financial instruments consisted of cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, accounts payable, interest rate swaps, and debt. The fair value of cash equivalents (Level 1), accounts payable, and short-term debt (Level 2) approximates their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined based on valuation models, which utilize quoted interest rate curves to calculate the forward value and then discount the forward values to the present period. The Company measures the fair value using broker quotes which are generally based on market observable inputs including yield curves and the value associated with counterparty credit risk. Our interest rate swaps are classified as a Level 2 measurement as these securities are not actively traded in the market, but are observable based on transactions associated with bank loans with similar terms and maturities.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio are based on prices provided by a third party pricing service and a third party investment manager. The prices provided by these services are based on quoted market prices, when available, non-binding broker quotes, or matrix pricing. The third party pricing service and the third party investment manager provide a single price or quote per security and the Company has not historically adjusted security prices. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the third party pricing service and the third party investment manager, and has controls in place to validate that amounts provided represent fair values. Our investments are classified as a Level 2 measurement as these securities are not actively traded in the market, but are observable based on the quoted prices provided by our Portfolio managers.
As of June 30, 2013, our total debt was approximately $40.2 million, which approximated fair value as the vast majority of this debt was entered into in April 2013 at market rates. As of December 30, 2012, our total debt was approximately $44.6 million and approximated fair value as the vast majority of this debt was entered into in September 2012 at market rates. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate debt using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (Level 2).
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, respectively.
The following table presents the fair values for those assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013:

OVERVIEW
Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (“DRH”) is a fast-growing restaurant company operating two complementary concepts: Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burger Tavern ® (“Bagger Dave’s”) and Buffalo Wild Wings® (“BWW”). As the creator, developer, and operator of Bagger Dave’s and one of the largest franchisees of BWW, we provide a unique guest experience in a casual and inviting environment. We are committed to providing value to our guests through offering generous portions of flavorful food in an upbeat and entertaining atmosphere. We believe Bagger Dave’s and DRH-owned BWW are uniquely-positioned restaurant brands designed to maximize appeal to our guests. Both restaurant concepts offer competitive price points and a family-friendly atmosphere, which we believe enables consistent performance through economic cycles. We were incorporated in 2006 and are headquartered in the Detroit metropolitan area. As of June 30, 2013, we have 48 locations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri. Of these restaurants, 47 are corporate-owned and one is franchised by a third party.
Our roots can be traced to 1999, when our founder, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, T. Michael Ansley, opened his first BWW restaurant in Sterling Heights, Michigan. By late 2004, Mr. Ansley and his business partners owned and operated seven BWW franchised restaurants and formed AMC Group, LLC as an operating center for those locations. In 2006, DRH was formed and several entities, including AMC Group, LLC, were reorganized to provide the framework and financial flexibility to grow as a franchisee of BWW and to develop and grow our Bagger Dave’s concept. In 2008, DRH became public by completing a self-underwritten initial public offering for approximately $735,000 and 140,000 shares. We subsequently completed an underwritten, follow-on offering on April 23, 2013 of 6.9 million shares with net proceeds of $32.0 million.
Mr. Ansley has received various awards from Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. (“BWLD”), including awards for highest annual restaurant sales and operator of the year. In September 2007, Mr. Ansley was awarded Franchisee of the Year by the International Franchise Association (“IFA”). The IFA’s membership consists of over 12,600 franchisee members and over 1,100 franchisor members.
Today, DRH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), which includes AMC Group, Inc. (“AMC”), AMC Wings, Inc. (“WINGS”), and AMC Burgers, Inc. (“BURGERS”), own and operate Bagger Dave's and DRH-owned BWW restaurants located throughout Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
DRH originated the Bagger Dave’s concept, with our first restaurant opening in January 2008 in Berkley, Michigan. Currently, there are 11 corporate-owned Bagger Dave’s in Michigan, two corporate-owned Bagger Dave’s in Indiana, and one franchised location in Missouri. The Company plans to operate approximately 50 Bagger Dave’s corporate-owned locations by the end of 2017.
DRH is also one of the largest BWW franchisees and currently operates 35 DRH-owned BWW restaurants (17 in Michigan, 10 in Florida, four in Illinois, and four in Indiana), including the nation’s largest BWW, based on square footage, in downtown Detroit, Michigan. We remain on track to fulfill our area development agreement (“ADA”) with BWLD. Per the ADA with BWLD, we expect to operate 47 DRH-owned BWW by the end of 2017. DRH also has the rights to develop another location in Indiana, which was acquired in the September 2012 acquisition.
RESTAURANT OPENINGS
The following table outlines the restaurant unit information for the years indicated as of June 30, 2013. "Corporate-owned restaurants" reflects the number of restaurants owned and operated by DRH for each year. From our inception in 2006, we managed, but did not own, nine BWW restaurants that we subsequently acquired in February 2010. Comparative results for 2009, 2008, and 2007 are a consolidation of owned and managed restaurants based on the accounting of an acquisition of entities under common control.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 ("Second Quarter 2013"), and six months ended June 30, 2013 (“Year to Date 2013”), revenue was generated from the operations of 35 BWW restaurants (one BWW restaurant opened in April 2013 and another one in May 2013) and 12 Bagger Dave’s restaurants (one Bagger Dave’s restaurant opened in May 2013). For the three months ended June 24, 2012 ("Second Quarter 2012") and the six months ended June 24, 2012 (“Year to Date 2012”), revenue was generated from the operations of 22 BWW restaurants and seven Bagger Dave’s restaurants (one of which opened in May 2012). Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing and number of new restaurant openings and related expenses, increases or decreases in same store sales, changes in commodity prices, general economic conditions, and seasonal fluctuations. As a result, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Revenue for Second Quarter 2013 was $27.0 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 61.2%, over the $16.7 million of revenue generated during Second Quarter 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to two factors. First, approximately $8.8 million of the increase was attributable to revenues generated from the opening of 10 DRH-owned restaurants (five Bagger Dave’s restaurants and five BWW restaurants) and the acquisition of eight BWW restaurants in September 2012. Second, the remaining $1.4 million increase was related to a 6.7% increase in same store sales for 30 BWW and six Bagger Dave’s restaurants.
Our positive same-store-sales are a result of many factors. Factors contributing to both our BWW and BD concepts include the improving economy in Michigan, the favorable results of local sports teams, overall customer awareness, increased customer satisfaction due to increased market penetration, continued improvement of the overall guest experience, and price increases, which we frequently review to offset inflationary pressures. Our BWW restaurants also benefit from increased national advertising.
Food, beverage, and packaging costs increased by $2.8 million, or 53.0%, to $8.0 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $5.2 million in Second Quarter 2012. The increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Food, beverage, and packaging costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.7% in Second Quarter 2013 from 31.2% in Second Quarter 2012 primarily due to lower chicken wing prices, partially offset by lower wing-per-pound yields. Average cost per pound for bone-in chicken wings was $1.61 in Second Quarter 2013 compared to $1.90 in Second Quarter 2012.
Compensation costs increased by $2.6 million, or 61.6%, to $6.9 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $4.3 million in Second Quarter 2012. The increase was primarily due more restaurants being operated in 2013. Compensation costs as a percentage of sales was 25.5% for both Second Quarter 2013 and Second Quarter 2012.
Occupancy increased by $660,499, or 72.5%, to $1.6 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $910,598 in Second Quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Occupancy as a percentage of sales increased to 5.8% in Second Quarter 2013 from 5.4% in Second Quarter 2012 due to higher lease rates associated with the acquisition in September 2012 and the new restaurants opened after Second Quarter 2012. We believe the higher lease rates are reflective on an overall strengthening of commercial real estate in our markets.
Other operating costs increased by $2.0 million, or 59.6%, to $5.4 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $3.4 million in Second Quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Other operating costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.9% in Second Quarter 2013 from 20.1% in Second Quarter 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by $528,283, or 36.5%, to $2.0 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $1.4 million in Second Quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to increased marketing and advertising expense consistent with our increase in sales, hiring of personnel critical to our growth, and expenses associated with uplisting to the NASDAQ stock exchange. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.3% in Second Quarter 2013 from 8.7% in Second Quarter 2012.
Pre-opening costs increased by $585,183, or 267.7%, to $803,798 in Second Quarter 2013 from $218,615 in Second Quarter 2012. The difference in pre-opening costs was due to the timing and overall cost to build and open new restaurants. The Company opened three new restaurants and was in the construction phase of seven additional restaurants during the Second Quarter 2013 compared to one opening and five under construction in Second Quarter 2012. Pre-opening costs as a percentage of sales increased to 3.0% in Second Quarter 2013 from 1.3% in Second Quarter 2012.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $856,192, or 89.4%, to $1.8 million in Second Quarter 2013 from $957,357 in Second Quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales increased to 6.7% in Second Quarter 2013 from 5.7% in Second Quarter 2012.
Loss on disposal of property and equipment increased by $19,064, or 288.7%, to $25,667 in Second Quarter 2012 from $6,603 in Second Quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to non-recurring property and equipment disposals in the current year. Loss on disposal of property and equipment as a percentage of sales increased to 0.1% in Second Quarter 2013 from 0.0% in Second Quarter 2012.

Revenue for Year to Date 2013 was $54.0 million, an increase of $19.6 million or 56.7% over the $34.5 million of revenue generated during Year to Date 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to two factors. First, approximately $17.5 million of the increase was attributable to revenues generated from the opening of 10 DRH-owned restaurants (five Bagger Dave’s restaurants and five BWW restaurants) and the acquisition of eight BWW restaurants in September 2012. Second, the remaining $2.1 million increase was related to a 5.1% increase in same store sales for 30 BWW and six Bagger Dave’s restaurants.
Food, beverage, and packaging costs increased by $5.8 million or 54.3% to $16.6 million in Year to Date 2013 from $10.7 million in Year to Date 2012. The increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Food, beverage, and packaging costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 30.7% in Year to Date 2013 from 31.2% in Year to Date 2012 due to lower chicken wing prices, partially offset by lower wing-per-pound yields. Average cost per pound for bone-in chicken wings was $1.86 in Year to Date 2013 compared to $1.91 in Year to Date 2012.
Compensation cost increased by $5.3 million or 60.8% to $13.9 million in Year to Date 2013 from $8.7 million in Year to Date 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Compensation as a percentage of sales increased to 25.8% in Year to Date 2013 from 25.1% in Year to Date 2012, primarily due to inefficiencies from newer locations and integration of the September 2012 acquired locations in the first quarter of 2013.
Occupancy cost increased by $1.3 million or 70.0% to $3.1 million in Year to Date 2013 from $1.8 million in Year to Date 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Occupancy cost as a percentage of sales increased to 5.7% in Year to Date 2013 from 5.3% in Year to Date 2012 due to higher lease rates associated with the acquisition in September 2012 and the new restaurants opened after Second Quarter 2012. We believe the higher lease rates are reflective of an overall strengthening of commercial real estate in our markets.
Other operating costs increased by $3.9 million or 57.3% to $10.7 million in Year to Date 2013 from $6.8 million in Year to Date 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Other operating costs as a percentage of sales was 19.7% in both Year to Date 2013 and Year to Date 2012.
General and administrative cost increased by $777,895 or 28.6% to $3.5 million in Year to Date 2013 from $2.7 million in Year to Date 2012. This increase was primarily due to increased marketing and advertising expense consistent with our increase in sales, hiring of personnel critical to our growth, and expenses associated with uplisting to the NASDAQ stock exchange. General and administrative cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 6.5% in Year to Date 2013 from 7.9% in Year to Date 2012.
Pre-opening cost increased by $1.1 million or 424.1% to $1.4 million in Year to Date 2013 from $266,486 in Year to Date 2012. The increase in pre-opening costs was due to the timing and overall cost to build and open new restaurants during the period. The Company opened three new restaurants and is in the construction phase on six additional restaurants during Year to Date 2013 compared with opening only one restaurant in Year to Date 2012 and being in the construction phase on five restaurants during Year to Date 2012. Pre-opening cost as a percentage of sales increased to 2.6% in Year to Date 2013 from 0.8% in Year to Date 2012.
Depreciation and amortization cost increased by $1.5 million or 79.7% to $3.5 million in Year to Date 2013 from $1.9 million in Year to Date 2012. This increase was primarily due to more restaurants being operated in 2013. Depreciation and amortization cost as a percentage of sales increased to 6.4% in Year to Date 2013 from 5.6% in Year to Date 2012.
Loss on disposal of property and equipment increased by $54,138 or 819.9% to $60,741 in Year to Date 2013 from $6,603 in Year to Date 2012. This decrease was primarily due to non-recurring property and equipment disposals in the current year. Loss on disposal of property and equipment as a percentage of sales increased to 0.1% in Year to Date 2013 from 0.0% in Year to Date 2012.
INTEREST AND TAXES
Interest expense was $585,637 and $253,103 during Second Quarter 2013 and Second Quarter 2012, respectively. Interest expense was $1.1 million and $565,644 during Year to Date 2013 and Year to Date 2012, respectively. The increase is associated with the $63.0 million senior secured credit facility with RBS Citizens, N.A. (the “April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which was effective on April 15, 2013 and includes a write-off of loan fees for $76,408. Additionally, increased borrowings for new restaurant development in 2013 was a contributing factor.
For Second Quarter 2013, we booked an income tax benefit of $35,190 compared to Second Quarter 2012 when an income tax provision of $86,155 was recorded. The effective tax rate of income before taxes was 111.5% for Second Quarter 2013 versus 212.2% for Second Quarter 2012. The Second Quarter 2013 income tax benefit primarily relates to the pre-tax loss incurred in Second Quarter 2013 versus income in Second Quarter 2012 and return to provision adjustments made during Second Quarter 2013. For Year to Date 2013, we booked an income tax provision of $66,630 compared to Year to Date 2012 when an income tax provision of $335,545 was recorded. The effective tax rate of income before taxes was 21.6% for Year to Date 2013 vs. 34.4% for Year to Date 2012.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES; EXPANSION PLANS
On April 15, 2013, the Company entered into a $63.0 million senior secured term loan (“April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which includes a $46.0 million term loan (the “April 2013 Term Loan”), $15.0 million development line of credit, and $2.0 million revolving line of credit. The April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by a senior lien on all the Company’s assets. The Company used approximately $44.8 million of the April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility to repay substantially all of the Company’s outstanding debt. The April 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility is for a term of five years and bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin (as defined in the agreement) which ranges between 2.5% and 3.4%, depending on the Company’s lease adjusted leverage ratio. On May 15, 2013, the Company paid down $10.0 million on the $46.0 million April 2013 Term Loan in satisfaction of its post-offering requirement to RBS Citizens, N.A to utilize up to 40.0% of the offering proceeds for such purpose. We plan to continue to fund up to 80.0% of the construction and start-up costs of new Bagger Dave’s and DRH-owned BWW restaurants with our development line of credit.
On April 23, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten, follow-on equity offering of 6.9 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share to the public. The net proceeds to DRH from the offering were $32.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 17, 2013. Refer to the follow-on offering (Form S-1/A) filed on April 15, 2013 for additional information.
We believe that the cash flow from operations and the proceeds from the registered offering will be sufficient to meet our operational funding, development, and obligations for at least the next 12 months.
Cash flow from operations for Year to Date 2013 was $2.1 million compared with $2.7 million for Year to Date 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of net earnings adjusted for non-cash expenses and a decrease in accounts payable.
For 2013, we estimate capital expenditures up to $29.0 million. Approximately 50.0% is for 2013 new store openings (seven Bagger Dave’s and three DRH-owned BWW restaurants); 25.0% for real estate (including the purchase of land and construction of buildings) associated with new restaurant openings; 15.0% for restaurant remodels, upgrades, relocations and other general corporate purposes; and 10.0% for new store openings scheduled for early 2014.
Opening new restaurants, including real estate investments, is our primary use of capital and is estimated to be over 80.0% of our capital expenditures in 2013. Our 2013 new restaurant development plan currently includes the following locations, where we have either entered into a lease agreement or purchased real estate. Most of these locations are currently under construction.
Opening new restaurants is the Company’s primary use of capital and is critical to its growth. Our completed and planned new construction for 2013 includes:
● | Lapeer, Michigan (DRH-owned BWW) – opened in April 2013 |
● | Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (DRH-owned BWW) – opened in May 2013 |
● | Grand Rapids, Michigan (Bagger Dave’s) – opened in May 2013 |
● | Avon, Indiana (Bagger Dave’s) –opened in July 2013 |
● | Traverse City, Michigan (Bagger Dave’s) – scheduled to open in Q3 2013 |
● | Detroit, Michigan (Bagger Dave’s) – scheduled to open in Q4 2013 |
● | Terre Haute, Indiana (Bagger Dave’s) – scheduled to open in Q4 2013 |
● | Indianapolis (Greenwood), Indiana (Bagger Dave’s) – scheduled to open in Q4 2013 |
● | Woodhaven, Michigan (Bagger Dave’s) – scheduled to open in Q4 2013 |
● | Gaylord, Michigan (DRH-owned BWW) – scheduled to open in Q4 2013 |
Although investments in new restaurants are an integral part of our strategic and capital expenditures plan, we also believe that reinvesting in existing restaurants is an important factor and necessary to maintain the overall positive dining experience for our guests. Depending on the age of the existing restaurants, upgrades range from $50,000 (for minor interior refreshes) to $500,000 (for a full remodel of the restaurant). Restaurants are typically upgraded after approximately five years of operation and fully remodeled after approximately 10 years of operation.
Mandatory Upgrades
We had one mandatory remodel of an existing DRH-owned BWW restaurant, which was completed in 2013 and funded with cash from operations.
Discretionary Upgrades
In fiscal year 2013, the Company will invest additional capital to provide minor upgrades to a number of its existing locations, all of which will be funded by cash from operations. These improvements primarily consist of audio/visual equipment upgrades, patio upgrades, and point-of-sale system upgrades.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies that may be identified during this process.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Occasionally, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims arising from personal injuries, contract claims, dram shop claims, employment-related claims, and claims from guests or employees alleging injury, illness, or other food quality, health, or operational concerns. To date, none of these types of litigation, most of which are entirely or predominantly covered by insurance, has had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We have insured and continue to insure against most of these types of claims. A judgment on any claim not covered by or in excess of our insurance coverage could materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
