AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Ark Restaurants Corp. (the "Company"), without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments and the change in accounting principle referred to below) necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 30, 1995 and results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995. The results of operations for the periods ended December 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 2. INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during each period; common stock equivalents consist of dilutive stock options. For the period ended December 30, 1995 no effect has been given to outstanding options since the effect was not material. For the period ended December 31, 1994 fully diluted net income per common share and common share equivalent is not shown since the effect is not material. 4 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES Net sales at restaurants and bars owned by the Company increased 14.5% in the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995 from the comparable period ended December 31, 1994. The increase in net sales for the 13-week period was due primarily to sales from restaurants which the Company did not operate in the comparable period last year (Bryant Park Grill, Ernie's and the Columbus Bakery). Same store sales decreased by 4.8% in the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995 and such decrease was most pronounced in the smaller restaurants. COSTS AND EXPENSES The Company's cost of sales consists only of food and beverage costs at restaurants and bars owned by the Company. For the 13-week periods ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remained constant at approximately 27.7%. Operating expenses of the Company, consisting of restaurant payroll, occupancy and other expenses at restaurants and bars owned by the Company, as a percentage of net sales for the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995, increased to 68.4% from 65.5% last year. Restaurant payroll as a percentage of net sales was 36.7% as compared to 35.9% last year principally due to the 4.8 % decrease in same store sales. Occupancy expenses and depreciation and amortization remained constant at approximately 15.4% while all other operating expenses, consisting mainly of supplies, maintenance, credit card processing fees, and advertising increased to 16.2% from 14.4% last year. This change in other operating expenses was principally due to increased maintenance and supply expenditures at several of the Company's smaller restaurants and expenses incurred in the opening of the Company's second bakery (Columbus Bakery). General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 5.4% for the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995 as compared to 6.7% last year. If net sales at managed restaurants and bars were included in consolidated net sales, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales would have been 4.7% as compared to 5.8% last year. Net income of the Company for the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995, was $25,000 as compared to $291,000 last year. During the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995 the Company managed six restaurants owned by third parties. Net sales of managed restaurants were $2,633,000 during the 13-week period ended December 30, 1995 as compared to $2,510,000 last year. Net sales of these managed restaurants are not included in consolidated net sales. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes reflects Federal income taxes calculated on a consolidated basis and state and local income taxes calculated by each New York subsidiary on a non consolidated basis. Most of the 5 restaurants owned or managed by the Company are owned or managed by a separate subsidiary. For state and local income tax purposes, the losses incurred by a subsidiary may only be used to offset that subsidiary's income with the exception of the restaurants which operate in the District of Columbia. Accordingly, the Company's overall effective tax rate has varied depending on the level of losses incurred at individual subsidiaries. As a result of the enactment of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Company is entitled, commencing January 1, 1994, to a tax credit based on the amount of FICA taxes paid by the Company with respect to the tip income of restaurant service personnel. The Company estimates that this credit will be in excess of $300,000 for the current fiscal year. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL The Company's primary source of capital is cash provided by operations and funds available from the $4,250,000 revolving credit agreement with its main bank. The Company utilizes capital primarily to fund the cost of developing and opening new restaurants and acquiring existing restaurants. At December 30, 1995 the Company had a working capital deficit of $75,000 as compared to working capital of $41,000, at September 30, 1995. The restaurant business does not require the maintenance of significant inventories or the financing of receivables. Thus the Company is able to operate with minimal and even negative working capital. The Company's existing Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility with its main bank enables the Company to borrow up to $4,250,000 until December 31, 1996 at which time outstanding loans may be converted into term loans payable in 36 monthly installments through December 31, 1999 At December 30, 1995 the Company had $3,000,000 of debt outstanding under this agreement. In connection with this agreement, the Company also has a $1,750,000 Letter of Credit Facility. At December 30, 1995 the Company had delivered $1,231,000 in irrevocable letters of credit in lieu of lease security deposits. The Company has signed letters of intent with respect to extensive restaurant facilities to be operated by the Company in a new resort casino under construction in Las Vegas, Nevada (See Restaurant Expansion below). The Company expects that its capital commitments for these facilities will be between $8,000,000 and $9,000,000 which the Company intends to finance principally through a new financing facility with its main bank and, to a lesser extent, through cash from operations. The Company has a commitment letter from the bank which would amend the Company's existing revolving credit facility to provide for an increase in the amount the Company may borrow on a revolving credit basis to $11,000,000. The proposed revolving credit facility includes a $5,000,000 facility for working capital purposes at the Company's existing restaurants. The proposed credit facility also includes a $6,000,000 facility for use in the construction of and as working capital for the Las Vegas restaurants. The two working capital facilities will each have two year terms at the end of which they will convert into two year term loans. The $5,000,000 facility will convert 6 into a two year self-amortizing term loan. The $6,000,000 facility will convert into a two year loan amortizing $5,000,000 over the two year period with the balance of $1,000,000 paid at maturity. The bank commitment also contemplates a four year $2,000,000 letter of credit facility (replacing the prior $1,750,000 facility) for use in lieu of lease security deposits and a one year (extendible for an additional six months) $3,000,000 letter of credit facility to be used to assure construction of the Las Vegas restaurants. Although the Company is not currently committed to any other projects, the Company is exploring additional opportunities for expansion of its business. Additional expansion may require additional external financing. RESTAURANT EXPANSION AND RENOVATION The Company has signed letters of intent with New York, New York Hotel & Casino, a joint venture between Primadonna Resorts, Inc. and MGM Grand, Inc. to design, build and operate a group of restaurants in the 2,100 room Las Vegas resort casino which is scheduled to open in December 1996. Under the terms of the letters of intent, the Company will build a 450-seat America restaurant, a 150-seat steakhouse and a group of small fast food restaurants in a food court with a New York theme. The steakhouse will be operated under the name "Gallaghers" under a license agreement from the owner of the New York restaurant of that name. In addition, the company will operate the hotel's room service, its banquet facilities and its employee cafeteria. The transaction is subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements. 7 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
