Consolidated Condensed Notes to Financial Statements July 2, 2000 (1) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse, Inc. in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The financial statements for the three and six months ended July 2, 2000 include the results of operations for the joint venture described in Big Buck's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. The unaudited balance sheet as of July 2, 2000 and the unaudited statements of operations and cash flows for the three and the six months ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the respective interim periods and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read, or have access to, the audited financial statements and notes in Big Buck's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the January 2, 2000 audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim financial statements except for the disclosures below. It is suggested that these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Big Buck's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. 5 ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS VARIOUS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 21E OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE THAT, IN MAKING ANY SUCH STATEMENT, OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE BASED ON REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS, ANY SUCH STATEMENT MAY BE INFLUENCED BY FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL OUTCOMES AND RESULTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROJECTED. WHEN USED IN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION, THE WORDS "ANTICIPATES," "BELIEVES," "EXPECTS," "INTENDS," "PLANS," "ESTIMATES" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, AS THEY RELATE TO US OR OUR MANAGEMENT, ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, CERTAIN OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, ARE SET FORTH AT EXHIBIT 99 TO OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB, FILED ON MARCH 31, 2000, UNDER THE CAPTION "CAUTIONARY STATEMENT." OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN, OR IMPLIED BY, FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT ANY OF THE EVENTS ANTICIPATED BY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WILL OCCUR OR, IF ANY OF THEM DO OCCUR, WHAT IMPACT THEY WILL HAVE ON US. WE CAUTION YOU TO KEEP IN MIND THE CAUTIONS AND RISKS DESCRIBED IN OUR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT AND TO REFRAIN FROM ATTRIBUTING UNDUE CERTAINTY TO ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE OF THE DOCUMENT IN WHICH THEY APPEAR. OVERVIEW Big Buck develops and operates microbrewery/restaurants under the name "Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse." Big Buck currently operates one unit in each of the following cities in Michigan: Gaylord, Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills. Big Buck plans to open a fourth unit in Grapevine, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Scheduled to open later this year, this unit will be operated by Buck & Bass, L.P. pursuant to a joint venture agreement between Big Buck and Bass Pro Outdoor World, L.P., a premier retailer of outdoor sports equipment. Future revenue and profits will depend upon various factors, including market acceptance of the Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse concept and general economic conditions. Big Buck's present sources of revenue are the Gaylord, Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills units. Big Buck cannot assure you that it will successfully implement its expansion plans, in which case Big Buck will continue to depend on the revenue from the existing units. Big Buck also faces all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the expansion and development of a new business. Furthermore, to the extent that Big Buck's expansion strategy is successful, it must manage the transition to multiple site, higher volume operations, control increased overhead expenses and hire additional personnel. Big Buck's sales and results of operations are expected to fluctuate based on seasonal patterns. Big Buck anticipates that its highest earnings will occur in the second and third quarters. Quarterly results in the future are likely to be substantially affected by the timing of new unit openings. Because of the seasonality of Big Buck's business and the impact of new unit openings, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year. 6 QUARTERS ENDED JULY 2, 2000 AND JULY 4, 1999 The following table is derived from Big Buck's statements of operations and expresses the results from operations as a percent of total revenue: Three Three Six Six Months Months Months Months Ended Ended Ended Ended July 2, July 4, July 2, July 4, 2000 1999 2000 1999 --------------- -------------- -------------- --------------- REVENUE: Restaurant sales 97.4% 96.1% 97.6% 96.2% Wholesale beer and gift shop sales 2.6 3.9 2.4 3.8 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ Total revenue 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ COST AND EXPENSES: Cost of sales 33.4 33.1 32.9 32.8 Restaurant salaries and benefits 32.0 31.3 30.4 30.7 Operating expenses 22.8 19.4 22.0 19.3 Depreciation and amortization 5.4 6.2 5.3 6.2 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ Total costs and expenses 93.7 90.0 90.7 89.0 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ Restaurant operating income 6.3 10.0 9.3 11.0 Preopening expenses 1.3 3.0 0.6 3.5 General and administrative expenses 10.0 12.4 10.4 14.3 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ LOSS FROM OPERATIONS (4.9) (5.4) (1.7) (6.8) OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Interest expense (10.7) (6.4) (10.3) (6.5) Interest income and other 3.8 0.2 (2.4) 0.1 ------------ --------- ---------- ------------ Total other income (expense) (14.5) (6.2) (12.7) (6.4) Minority interest share of joint venture 0.3 - 0.1 - NET LOSS (19.2)% (11.6)% (14.3)% (13.1)% ============ ========= ========== ============ 7 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 2, 2000 AND JULY 4, 1999 REVENUE Revenue increased 7.2% to $3,489,034 in second quarter 2000 from $3,255,415 in second quarter 1999 and increased 9.0% to $7,129,807 for the first six months of 2000 from $6,542,085 for the first six months of 1999. The increases were due to increased marketing efforts and unit level promotions during the first and second quarters of 2000. COST OF SALES Cost of sales, which consists of food, merchandise and brewery supplies, increased 8.1% to $1,165,479 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and increased 9.3% to $2,346,456 for the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. The increases were due mainly to higher revenue. As a percentage of revenue, costs of sales increased to 33.4% in second quarter 2000 compared to 33.1% in second quarter 1999, and increased to 32.9% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 32.8% for the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, the increases were the result of a higher percentage of the sales mix coming from food, which has a higher cost than beer and wine. RESTAURANT SALARIES AND BENEFITS Restaurant salaries and benefits, which consist of restaurant management and hourly employee wages and benefits, payroll taxes and workers' compensation insurance, increased 9.6% to $1,117,884 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and increased 8.0% to $2,170,888 for the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. The increases were due to higher staffing needs for hourly employees in existing units as a result of higher sales volume. As a percentage of revenue, restaurant salaries and benefits increased to 32.0% for second quarter 2000 compared to 31.3% for second quarter 1999, and decreased to 30.4% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 30.7% for the same period in 1999. The increase for the second quarter was due to the added costs of hiring, training new staff and retaining existing staff in a tighter labor market. The decrease for the first six months of 2000 was the result of higher revenue and improved fixed labor efficiency. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses, which include supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, advertising and occupancy costs, increased 26.0% to $794,303 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and increased 24.1% to $1,565,864 for the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased to 22.8% in second quarter 2000 as compared to 19.4% for second quarter 1999, and increased to 22.0% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 19.3% for the same period in 1999. The increases were due to the additional expenses of unit level promotions and marketing for the purposes of increasing revenue and building customer loyalty. PREOPENING EXPENSES Preopening expenses consist of expenses incurred prior to the opening of a new unit, including but not limited to wages and benefits, relocation costs, supplies, advertising expenses and training costs. Preopening expenses for the Grapevine unit were $46,332 for second quarter 2000 compared to $98,892 for second quarter 1999. Preopening expenses for the Grapevine unit were $46,332 for first six months of 2000 compared to $226,043 for the first six months of 1999. The decreases were due to Big Buck's redetermination that most of the management staff for the Grapevine unit will come from existing units and hourly staff for the unit will be hired and trained in third quarter 2000. 8 GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses decreased 13.4% to $347,547 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and decreased 20.2% to $744,459 for the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 10.0% in second quarter 2000 compared to 12.3% for second quarter 1999, and decreased to 10.4% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 14.3% for the same period in 1999. The decreases reflected management's focus on reducing corporate overhead costs, including the elimination of certain corporate positions and the implementation of a salary reduction for corporate staff, as well as decreased professional fees and higher sales volume. DEPRECIATION Depreciation expense decreased $12,120 to $189,969 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and decreased $24,201 to $379,977 for the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation decreased to 5.4% in second quarter 1999 as compared to 6.2% for the same period in 1999, and decreased to 5.3% for the first six months of 2000 from 6.2% for the first six months of 1999. The decreases in depreciation as a percentage of revenue reflected the increase in sales volume. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased 80% to $372,488 in second quarter 2000 compared to second quarter 1999, and increased 73.8% to $734,187 for the first six months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, interest expense increased to 10.7% for second quarter 2000 compared to 6.4% for second quarter 1999, and increased to 10.3% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 6.5% for the same period in 1999. The increases reflected the additional interest expense on the outstanding convertible subordinate promissory notes. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE Other income and expense includes interest income, miscellaneous income and amortization expense. Other expenses increased $138,581 during second quarter 2000 as compared to second quarter 1999, and increased $178,207 during the first six months of 2000 as compared to the first six months of 1999. The increases were primarily the result of the amortization of costs from the Wayne County Employees' Retirement System ("WCERS") financing and warrants issued during 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Big Buck used $300,753 in cash for the first six months of 2000 for operating activities and generated $419,342 from operating activities for the first six months of 1999. At July 2, 2000, Big Buck had a working capital deficit of $3,162,833. In order to fund operations in the short-term, Big Buck intends to use cash provided by the operations of its three existing units. During first quarter 2000, Big Buck generated $195,000 in net proceeds from the private placement of $200,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated promissory notes. In February 2000, Big Buck generated $7,017,000 in net proceeds from the private placement of $7,500,000 principal amount of convertible secured promissory notes to WCERS. The NBD Bank and Crestmark Bank notes, aggregating $2,945,000 were repaid with the net proceeds from the WCERS financing. Since inception, Big Buck's principal capital requirements have been the funding of (a) its operations and promotion of the Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse format and (b) the construction of units and the acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment for such units. Total capital expenditures for the Gaylord, Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills units were approximately $6.2 million, $3.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively. 9 In September 1999, Bass Pro declared the limited partnership agreement of Buck & Bass, L.P. and the commercial sublease agreement for the Grapevine site to be breached and in default due to among other things, Big Buck's failure to make its required capital contribution. In February 2000, Big Buck obtained financing from WCERS which enabled it (a) to repay NBD Bank and Crestmark Bank in full and (b) to make all required capital contributions and satisfy all subcontractors' liens and claims in connection with the Grapevine unit. In March 2000, Big Buck and Bass Pro agreed in writing to the reinstatement of the limited partnership agreement and the sublease. Big Buck spent approximately $2.6 million during the first six months of 2000 for construction and equipment for the Grapevine unit. As of July 2, 2000, Big Buck had contributed approximately $3.9 million to the limited partnership which will own and operate the Grapevine unit. Big Buck may be required to contribute up to an additional $2.0 million, upon ten business days' notice, to complete construction of the Grapevine unit. Big Buck has available approximately $1.0 million from the WCERS financing to fund the construction of the Grapevine unit. Big Buck plans to seek short-term debt financing to cover any required capital contribution in excess of available cash. Additionally, the Buck & Bass limited partnership agreement allows for leasing of equipment for the facility, not to exceed $1.5 million. Big Buck anticipates that it will be able to meet the contribution requirements of the agreement. However, if funds are not available when required by the joint venture, Big Buck may be in material default under the joint venture agreement. A material default by Big Buck under the joint venture agreement entitles Bass Pro to purchase Big Buck's interest in the joint venture at 40% of book value, thereby eliminating Big Buck's interest in the Grapevine unit. Further, Bass Pro has the right to purchase up to 15% of Big Buck's interest in the joint venture, at 100% of Big Buck's original cost, within 24 months of the opening of the Grapevine unit; provided, however, that Big Buck's interest in the joint venture may not be reduced below 51%. Big Buck granted the following security interests to WCERS in connection with the February 2000 financing: (a) a pledge of Big Buck's limited partnership interest in Buck & Bass, L.P., (b) a pledge of Big Buck's shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of BBBP Management Company, (c) a security interest, assignment or mortgage, as applicable, in Big Buck's interest in all assets (now or hereafter owned), ownership interest, licenses, and permits, including, without limitation, a mortgage encumbering the Gaylord site and Auburn Hills, site. Big Buck also agreed in connection with such financing that it would not create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any indebtedness, except for indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business not to exceed at any time more than $1.5 million in the aggregate. Any such indebtedness, not in the ordinary course of business or in excess of $1.5 million, requires the approval of WCERS, except that WCERS will approve any indebtedness incurred to repay Big Buck's obligation to WCERS so long as such payment does not materially and adversely affect WCERS. Big Buck also granted to WCERS a right of first refusal pursuant to which WCERS may, for so long as the convertible note is outstanding or WCERS owns more that 15% of Big Buck's common stock, elect to purchase securities offered by Big Buck, within 45 days of the receipt of notice by WCERS, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as are offered to a third party. Big Buck will be required to repay approximately $1.6 million in principal to WCERS in October 2000. To fund the maturity of this debt, Big Buck will be required to obtain additional financing. Big Buck expects to conduct a sale-leaseback of its Gaylord unit to facilitate the repayment of this indebtedness. However, no assurance can be given that Big Buck will be able to obtain financing through this or any other means. If Big Buck fails to obtain funds which would permit the repayment of this note, WCERS, as noted above, would be able to foreclose upon Big Buck's assets. This would materially adversely affect Big Buck's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Big Buck expects that it will continue to require significant capital resources to fund new unit development and construction. The development of any additional units will require Big Buck to obtain additional financing. The amount of financing required for new units depends on the definitive locations, site conditions, construction costs and size and type of units to be built. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to Big Buck, or at all. Without such financing, Big Buck's development plans will be slower than planned or even unachievable. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits 27 Financial Data Schedule (b) Reports on Form 8-K The registrant filed the following Current Report on Form 8-K during the quarter ended July 2, 2000: Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 26, 2000, relating to the extension of the expiration date of the registrant's Class A Warrants from June 13, 2000 to December 13, 2001. 11 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
