BAB Holdings, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial activity of BAB Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Holdings"), an Illinois corporation incorporated on November 25, 1992, and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries, BAB Operations, Inc. ("Operations"), BAB Systems, Inc. ("Systems"), Brewster's Franchise Corporation ("BFC") and My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. ("MFM"). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise "Big Apple Bagels" specialty bagel retail stores. Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores, including one which currently serves as the franchise training facility. BFC was established on February 15,1996, to franchise "Brewster's Coffee" concept retail coffee stores. MFM was acquired on May 13, 1997. MFM franchises and operates "My Favorite Muffin" specialty muffin retail stores. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period. These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature and did not have a material impact on the financial statements presented. 2. Stores Open and Under Development Stores which have been opened and unopened stores for which an agreement has been executed and franchise or area development fees collected at February 28, 1998 are as follows: Stores opened: Company-owned 27 Franchisee-owned 185 Licensed 53 --- 265 Unopened franchised stores for which an agreement has been sold: Franchise agreement 22 Area development agreement 25 --- 47 --- Total 312 === 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions In January 1998, the Company sold one store located in Lincoln, Nebraska to a franchisee in exchange for $30,000 and a $177,000 note receivable which bears interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly until March 1, 2003 when the remaining unpaid principal balance is due in full. During 1997, the Company acquired and sold several stores. Stores purchased are operated as Company-owned units for a period of time prior to resale as a franchised unit. In January 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of JBI, and affiliate, franchisees of the Company, operating a total of four stores in southern California. The total purchase price paid was $770,000, including $120,000 related to a noncompetition agreement with the former owners of JBI. In October 1997, management closed one of the stores and it closed the remaining three stores in January 1998. All of the long-lived assets associated with this purchase were considered impaired as of November 30, 1997. See Note 4. In May 1997, the Company acquired MFM. At the time of acquisition, MFM had 5 company-owned and 60 franchised units in operation and its 1996 revenues exceeded $2.7 million. The Company acquired MFM by exchanging 432,608 shares of the Company's Common Stock, restricted as to transfer until January 1, 1999, and $259,000 in cash in exchange for 150 shares of MFM stock. The Company assumed all assets, including approximately $143,000 in cash, and liabilities of MFM. The Company borrowed approximately $356,000 on its credit facility to repay MFM bank debt and other borrowings assumed in the acquisition. 4. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closures As a result of operating losses incurred during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997, management identified seven Company-owned stores as impaired and recorded a provision for impairment of long-lived assets and store closures of approximately $1,837,000, including a reserve for closed store operating leases and other store closing costs of approximately $504,000. One store was closed by November 30, 1997 and the remaining six stores were closed by February 28, 1998. Operating losses incurred by these six stores during the three months ended February 28, 1998 totaled approximately $90,000 and are included in results of Company-owned store operations. At February 28, 1998, the reserve for closed store operating leases and other store closing costs is approximately $425,000. 5. Preferred Stock - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock In April 1997, the Company completed the sale of 87,710 shares of $25.00 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") in a private placement to institutional investors. The Preferred Stock carries an 8% annual dividend payable in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of common stock; provided that during a Conversion Suspension Period (defined below), dividends will accrue at a rate of 15% per annum. Dividends are payable only when shares are converted to shares of common stock. The holders have no voting rights and have a liquidation preference of $25.00, plus accrued dividends, out of assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders. Commencing August 1, 1997 through July 31, 1999, subject to certain extensions, the shareholders may elect to convert each preferred stock share into that number of common shares determined by dividing the $25 purchase price by the lesser of $5.64 or 85% of the average closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. In addition, if the Company engages in an underwritten public offering, for any holder who has given notice of participation in such offering, the conversion rate shall be 85% of the public offering price, if less than the amount calculated in the immediately preceding sentence. A Conversion Suspension Period takes effect if the closing bid price of the common stock is less than $2.325 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Conversion Suspension Period continues until the first trading day thereafter that the closing bid price for the common stock has exceeded $2.325 for 30 consecutive trading days; provided, however, that a Conversion Suspension Period shall not continue for more than sixty (60) days in any period of 365 days. The Company is not required to recognize or accept any conversion of Preferred Stock during a Conversion Suspension Period. During any Conversion Suspension Period, the Company, at its option, may redeem any or all of the Preferred Stock by payment to the holders of $28.75 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company entered into a sixty day Conversion Suspension Period during November 1997. Preferred dividends of approximately $51,000 accumulated during the quarter ended February 28, 1998. During fiscal 1997, 9,000 shares of Preferred Stock, plus dividends accrued thereon, were converted into 110,342 shares of common stock. In January 1998, 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock, plus dividends accrued thereon, were converted into 32,672 shares of common stock. 6. Line of Credit Agreement In April 1997, the Company entered a $2 million line of credit agreement with a bank expiring on December 31, 1998. Maximum borrowing under the line is limited to a borrowing base of 80% of accounts receivable under 90 days and 40% of equipment costs. Interest is payable monthly at prime plus one percent (currently 9.5%), with principal due upon the maturity of the note. At February 28, 1998, the Company had borrowed $1,995,000 on the line of credit and the balance is classified as a current liability. The Company is currently in the process of renewing the line of credit with the bank and transferring a portion of the borrowings to a secured note payable. In February 1998, the Company fell below the compensating cash balance requirement of $250,000 and obtained a waiver from the bank to lower the requirement to $150,000 for 60 days expiring April 25, 1998. Management has implemented a plan to increase the cash balance with improved cash flow resulting from store closures, proceeds from the sale of stores and other assets, reduction in general and administrative expenses and increased collection efforts. The Company is currently in compliance of the $250,000 compensating cash balance covenant and management believes it will remain in compliance for the foreseeable future. 7. (Loss) Earnings per Share In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share: 	THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1998 1997 ------------------- Numerator: Net (loss) income $(132,959) $25,325 Preferred stock dividend accumulated ( 50,696) - ------------------- Numerator for basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share --(loss) income attributable to common shareholders $(183,655) $25,325 =================== Denominator: Denominator for basic (loss) earnings per share -- weighted average shares 7,723,610 7,143,069 Effect of dilutive securities: Underwriters warrant - 97,722 Options issued in connection with acquisitions - 22,903 Options issued under Directors Plan and Incentive Plan - 11,249 ------------------- Denominator for diluted (loss) earnings per share -- weighted average shares 7,723,610 7,274,943 =================== Basic (loss) earnings per share $ (0.02) $ - =================== Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (0.02) $ - =================== Options to purchase 298,000 shares of common stock at varying prices are outstanding at February 28, 1998 under the Company's 1995 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (the Incentive Plan) and the 1995 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan). Also outstanding during the period ended February 28, 1998 was a warrant sold in connection with the Company's initial public offering to the underwriter to purchase 255,000 shares of common stock at $3.20 per share. Additionally, in connection with various acquisitions during 1996 and 1997, the Company issued options to purchase 658,000 shares of common stock issuable at varying exercise prices ranging from $4.00 per share to $8.00 per share. Further, warrants issued to each preferred shareholder of the Preferred Stock were outstanding to purchase 175,420 shares of common stock at $2.35 per share. Finally, common shares are issuable pursuant to the terms of the Company's convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 5.) The exercise of options and warrants outstanding or conversion of convertible securities outstanding during the quarter ended February 28, 1998 is not assumed as the result is antidilutive to the reported loss per share. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 	 	 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements regarding the development of the Company's business, the markets for the Company's products, anticipated capital expenditures, and the effects of completed and proposed acquisitions, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Certain risks and uncertainties are outside the control of the Company and its management including its ability to attract new franchisees, the continued success of current franchisees, the effects of competition on franchisee and Company-owned store results and consumer acceptance of the Company's products in new and existing markets. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. General - ------- From its inception in November 1992, the Company has grown to 27 Company-owned and 238 franchised and licensed units at February 28, 1998. System-wide revenues in the quarter ended February 28, 1998 approached $20 million, a 74% increase from the year-ago quarter. This rapid expansion, which includes significant increases in Company-owned store revenues and related expenses and the May 1997 acquisition of MFM, significantly affects the comparability of results of operations of the Company in several ways. The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the operation of Company- owned stores, initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees. Additionally, the Company has significantly increased revenue derived from the sale of licensed products as a result of purchasing trademarks (Brewster's), licensing contracts (Host Marriott) and by directly entering licensing agreements (Choice Picks Food Courts, Oberweis Dairy and Mrs. Fields Cookies). Additionally, the Company has generated other revenue through the sale of Company-owned units to franchisees of the Company. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, management identified certain under- performing stores which were operating at a loss and which, based on the estimated future cash flows, were considered to be impaired. Four of the seven stores which were considered to be impaired were located in the Southern California market. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition of Costs to Exit an Activity", management recorded a provision for impairment of assets and store closures which totaled approximately $1,837,000. One store was closed during fiscal 1997 and the remaining units were closed during the first quarter of 1998. The six stores incurred operating losses of approximately $90,000 during the three months ended February 28, 1998. Management has successfully completed negotiations to terminate its obligations under three of the seven non- cancelable lease obligations and anticipates that the remainder will be completed during fiscal 1998. Management believes that the reserves established for closed store operating leases and other store closing costs at November 30, 1997 are sufficient and that the store closings will result in improved profitability and cash flow from store operations. Results of Operations - --------------------- Three Months Ended February 28, 1998 versus Three Months Ended February 28, 1997 Total revenues increased 34% to $3,730,000 in the first quarter 1998 from $2,774,000 in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in Company-owned store revenues which were $620,000 greater than that generated in the year-ago quarter. The Company ended the quarter with 27 Company-owned units as compared to 22 at February 28, 1997. Royalty fees from franchised stores increased to $788,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $406,000 in the year-ago quarter principally due to the addition of the 60 MFM franchised units in May 1997. This 94% increase in royalty revenues is a result of the increase in the number of franchised store open for operation -- 185 at February 28, 1998 versus 107 at February 28, 1997, an increase of 73%. Franchise and area development fee revenue remained relatively flat from the year-ago period. Finally, licensing fees and other income increased 67% from the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as the Company continued to develop various nontraditional channels of distribution, including commissions received on the sale of Brewster's Coffee to its franchisees and licensees, fees paid by Host Marriott licensed units based on retail sales, and commissions received from a third party commercial baker on sales of par-baked Big Apple Bagels to all licensed units. Costs associated with Company-owned store operations increased relative to sales in the first quarter 1998 versus 1997 -- 96% of store sales in 1998 versus 92% in 1997. Management attributes this increase to the results of operations of stores which were closed during the first quarter. Company- owned stores which were closed during the first quarter of 1998 generated operating losses of over $90,000 and required significant attention of management, a cost which is not factored into this amount. Management believes that the closure of the Southern California and other unprofitable stores will result in a continued improvement in the profitability of Company- owned store operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $391,000 to $1,501,000. Payroll-related expenses increased by $133,000 and represent 43% of the total increase in administrative overhead. This is attributable to the overall increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of MFM. While payroll costs have increased over the year-ago quarter, the Company has decreased its headcount at the corporate headquarters from its fiscal year-end of November 30, 1997 from 54 to 40 at February 28, 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased by 35% due to the significant increase in Company-owned store depreciation and amortization and the amortization of intangible assets acquired including goodwill, franchise contract and other contract rights, non-competition agreements, and trademarks acquired in the Company's various acquisitions. Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased 66% due to the increase in office space at the corporate headquarters as well as insurance and other expenses associated with the support of the increased corporate headcount. Loss from operations was $105,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 versus income from operations of $5,000 generated in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Excluding losses generated from stores closed during the quarter, the loss from operations is $14,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 1998. While there was no significant change in interest income generated between the two quarters, interest expense increased by $47,000 as a result of the borrowings on the Company's credit facility. The net loss totaled $133,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 1998 versus net income of $25,000 in the year-ago quarter. Preferred dividends on the Preferred Stock of $51,000 were accumulated during the first quarter of 1998. The Preferred Stock was issued in April 1997. Net loss per share for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 was $0.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis. The Company's earnings per share for the year-ago quarter was less than $0.01. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- During the three months ended February 28, 1998, cash used in operating activities was $370,000 as compared with $116,000 provided by operating activities during the comparable last year period. Cash used in operating activities was attributable an to increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable. Investing activities provided $90,000 during the first quarter 1998 and is primarily attributable to the collection of a note receivable from a franchisee. Cash used for investing activities during the first quarter 1997 totaled $1,456,000 of which $997,000 was used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment related to new Company-owned store construction. Financing activities during the first quarter 1998 totaled $328,000 and primarily represented additional borrowings made on the Company's Credit Facility to fund cash used in operating activities. Financing activities used $8,000 in the year-ago quarter. At February 28, 1998, the Company had borrowed $1,995,000 on the Credit Facility which is due on December 31, 1998 and the balance is classified as a current liability. The Company is currently in the process of renewing the line of credit with the bank and transferring a portion of the borrowings to a secured note payable. In February 1998, the Company fell below the compensating cash balance requirement of $250,000 and obtained a waiver from the bank to lower the requirement to $150,000 for 60 days expiring on April 25, 1998. Management believes that the closure of underperforming stores, the results of the negotiations of four of the seven closed store operating leases, commitments obtained on the sale of equipment at closed stores, increased collection efforts and reductions in headcount at the corporate headquarters have positively impacted the conditions necessary for improved cash flow from operations. Additionally, management believes that the Company will continue to remain in compliance with covenants on its Credit Facility and will successfully negotiate a renewal or restructuring of the Credit Facility on terms favorable to the Company. PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On April 16, 1996, the Company filed an arbitration action against a franchisee alleging breach of its franchise agreement for refusal to submit required sales reports and pay royalty fees and contributions to the national marketing fund. The franchisee filed suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company and its officers and directors on April 19, 1996. The franchisee alleged that the Company misrepresented the initial investment required to establish a store and made untrue and unauthorized earnings claims in violation of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act. Plaintiffs sought rescission of the franchise agreement, damages of $600,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $6,000,000. On May 28, 1996, management filed a motion to stay litigation in order to compel the plaintiffs to have their claims heard in arbitration as required by the provisions of the franchise agreement. The hearing was held over seven days and resulted in an award in favor of the Company. In January 1998, the Company was awarded all past due royalty fees and amounts owed to the national marketing fund plus accrued interest thereon and the franchisees counterclaim was rejected. The Company is in the process of enforcing the award in court. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES None. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None. ITEM 4.
