NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared from the records of the California Culinary Academy, Inc. (the "Academy") without audit and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 31, 1997, and the interim results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The balance sheet at June 30, 1997, presented herein, has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Academy for the fiscal year then ended. Accounting policies followed by the Academy are described in Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted for the purposes of the interim condensed financial statements. The interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements including notes thereto, for the year ended June 30, 1997. The results of operations for the three months presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. NOTE 2 -- PREFERRED STOCK During March 1996 and July 1996, the Board of Directors and shareholders, respectively, authorized the Academy to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series to be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of Preferred Stock was filed with the California Secretary of State in August 1996. On August 23, 1996, the Academy became legally authorized to issue up to 700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On the same date, the entire issue of Convertible Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,000 automatically converted to 254,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The preferred stock was recorded net of $447,000 of issuance costs. The non-redeemable Series A Preferred Stock into which the Notes converted provides for quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 7.5% per share from the date of first issuance, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, with a liquidation preference of $5.50 per share, plus accrued dividends. Although the Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting, in the event the Academy fails to pay a quarterly dividend, a meeting of the Board of Directors can be called at which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect one-third of the Academy's Board of Directors. Upon payment of the missed dividend(s), the right to elect one- 6 third of the Board will be rescinded. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the Academy's Common Stock at the conversion price of $5.50 per share. After February 23, 1997, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert automatically if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $8.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. Certain provisions for price protection are set forth in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, but in no event will the conversion price be less than $3.50. The Academy granted certain registration rights to the holders of the Convertible Notes (and subsequently, the Preferred shareholders). Certain penalties were payable to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock if the Academy did not use its best efforts to file a registration statement to register for resale the Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock conversion right with an effective date not later than November 23, 1996. Such registration statement was declared effective on April 15, 1997. Penalties payable to the Series A Preferred shareholders were accrued as of June 30, 1997 and paid in July 1997. A total of 6,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and $35,000 in cash was distributed in connection with this penalty. During the three months and 6 months ended December 31, 1997, certain Series A Preferred Stock shareholders elected to convert approximately 165,000 and 73,000 shares into Common Stock, respectively. NOTE 3 -- MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT On July 21, 1997 the Academy entered into a master lease agreement for a 68 room hotel in San Francisco. This lease commenced on September 1, 1997 and expires August 31, 2012, and requires initial monthly payments of $27,083 with a step rent clause increasing payments to 33,333 by the end of the lease. The master lease also requires payment of a pro-rata share of common area maintenance. NOTE 4 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On December 15, 1997, the Chairman of the Board and another member of the Board elected to exercise approximately 108,000 and 15,000 vested stock options respectively. In exchange, as permitted by the Academy's 1992 Stock Option Plan, each director delivered to the Academy a promissory note for the value of the stock options in the amount of approximately $465,000 and $62,000, respectively. The notes bear an interest rate of 9.5% and are due no later than June 30, 1998. NOTE 5 -- ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY On October 3, 1997 the Academy purchased for approximately $1,900,000 a 70 room residential hotel adjacent to the Academy's main campus in San Francisco to provide student housing. In connection with this purchase, the Academy issued a promissory note of $1,200,000 with principal and interest payments due monthly. The initial monthly payment of $10,434 will commence on December 1, 1997. The note bears interest at a variable rate based on the LIBOR index rate plus 4.15% (9.75% as of October 3, 1997) and mature on November 1, 2007. 7 NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The components of basic and diluted earning per share are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- ------ ------- ------- Net Income ($132) $125 ($293) $171 Less: preferred stock dividends (6) (27) (21) (37) Less: convertible note interest expense (9) (9) -------- ------ ------- ------- Income available to common shareholders (138) 89 (314) 125 Weighted average shares outstanding 3,636 3,229 3,581 3,229 -------- ------ ------- ------- BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE ($0.04) $0.03 ($0.09) $0.04 -------- ------ ------- ------- -------- ------ ------- ------- EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES Add: preferred stock dividends 6 27 21 37 Add: convertible note interest expense 0 9 0 9 -------- ------ ------- ------- Income available to common shareholders (132) 125 (293) 171 Weighted average shares outstanding 3,636 3,229 3,581 3,229 Add: Stock options and warrants 137 136 Add: convertible preferred stock 254 205 -------- ------ ------- ------- Weighted average shares outstanding 3,636 3,620 3,581 3,570 -------- ------ ------- ------- DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE ($0.04) $0.03 ($0.09) $0.04 -------- ------ ------- ------- -------- ------ ------- ------- 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. The Academy's revenues are derived primarily from culinary arts education as well as restaurant, retail and media operations. Culinary arts education primarily consists of the AOS Program, the B&P Certificate program, the College of Food Basic Professional Culinary Skills Program, and weekend professional skills program offerings. The AOS Program enrolls students on a two-week cycle. The program can accommodate up to 25 students per class. The 30-week B&P Program enrolls classes on a five week cycle typically ranging in size from 15 to 20 students with five classes enrolled as of December 31, 1997. The College of Food programs commenced October 14, 1996 at the Academy's prototype facility in Salinas, California. As of December 31, 1997, approximately 52 students are enrolled in the Basic Professional Culinary Skills program in Salinas. The College of Food enrolls students every three to four weeks. Weekend professional programs are currently offered every eight or fourteen weeks. As of December 31, 1997, the Academy has 35 students enrolled in various weekend professional programs. Consumer education consists of programs oriented to a part-time audience. The course length and content address the interests of food industry professionals, home cooks and career changers. These courses include single topic classes and various three or four class series current topics and basic skills. Restaurant and retail operations include two restaurants and a private dining room which is generally open to the public seven days per week, banquet services generally offered seven days per week and a small on-site retail shop offering student-prepared foods, beverages, cookbooks, video tapes, kitchen wares and selected clothing. Media operations primarily consist of the marketing of the Cooking at the Academy television series and cookbook royalties. Certain expenses such as food costs and costs of goods sold related to both educational services and retail restaurant operations. Revenues from the Academy's AOS Program and the B&P Program rely exclusively on enrollments in those programs. Tuition is initially recorded as deferred revenue at the commencement of each enrollment period and recognized over the length of program as students complete course work required for graduation. The Academy has available housing for students enrolled in the AOS and B&P programs. In July 1997, the Academy entered into a master lease of a 68-room hotel in San Francisco, approximately one block from the main campus, to provide student housing. In October 1997, the Academy purchased for approximately $1,900,000 a hotel building in San Francisco, across the street from its main campus, which it intends to use for student housing. Management 9 believes available student housing will have a favorable impact on new student enrollments and student retention rates. The Academy believes that manageable growth is achievable through the addition of extension campuses offering selected courses from the AOS Program at training facilities such as its College of Food at Salinas, California and by the addition of contract training programs offered to the food industry. While management believes that this strategy will enable it to significantly increase revenues by providing additional educational and training resources to the food industry, there can be no assurance that management will be able to successfully implement such a strategy. Except for historical information contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. Forward-looking statements contained in this Report involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in this Report and the Academy's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Academy undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The primary risks and uncertainties that could affect future results include, without limitation, (i) the event of a net loss of $999,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 from which there can be no assurance that the recent efforts will be successful in achieving profitable operations, or if achieved, that profitability can be sustained in future periods; (ii) the inability of management to successfully implement and manage the Academy's new growth strategy of adding more remote training facilities and new programs to be offered to the foodservice industry; (iii) uncertainties associated with overhauling the structure of the A.O.S. degree program enrollment process and the inability of the Academy to make appropriate adjustments in a timely manner; (iv) the increased competition from both for-profit and non-profit culinary arts education institutions; (v) the continued dependence on financial aid programs to fund a majority of Academy's students' education, thereby providing a significant portion of the Academy's revenues, together with the uncertainty that budgetary constraints or other factors in the future could impact the availability and amount of both public and private sources of financial aid; (vi) increase of the Academy's cohort default rate, the percentage of Academy students who have defaulted on repayment of government student loans, which could in the future impair or limit the Academy's participation in government financial aid programs; and (vii) the possibility that regulatory agencies that directly or indirectly impact aspects of the Academy's business could revise regulations in such a way that the Academy would not be able to comply with new regulations in a timely manner. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Academy undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be 10 made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Culinary arts education revenue increased 6.9% to $3,231,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $3,022,000 reported in the same period last year. Culinary arts education revenue increased 8.0% to $6,514,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $6,032,000 reported in the same period last year. The increase in culinary arts education revenue is due primarily to a 16.8% increase in student enrollment in certificate and degree programs as of December 31, 1997; offset by a reduction in consumer education revenues as a result of the discontinuation of the program during the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Restaurant & catering and other revenue increased 24.0% to $951,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $767,000 in the same period last year. Restaurant & catering and other revenue increased 24.7% to $1,603 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $1,286 in the same period last year. The increase is due primarily to increase banquet and catering activity in the Academy's two restaurants. COST OF SALES Food and beverage cost increased 10.8% to $460,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $415,000 reported in the same period last year. Food and beverage cost increased 12.7% to $886,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $786,000 reported in the same period last year. Food and beverage cost increased in dollar amounts as the Academy incurred higher costs primarily associated with an increase in culinary arts education revenue and restaurant and catering revenue. The increase in food and beverage cost as a percent of related culinary arts education and restaurant revenue is consistent with the comparable periods last year. Other costs decreased 2.0% to $390,000 for the quarter ended December 3, 1997 from $398,000 reported in the same period last year. Other costs increased 10.0% to $802,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $729,000 for the same period last year. The decrease for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 is attributed to lower cost of merchandise associated with decreased merchandise sales in the Academy's retail store; offset by increased decoration and entertainment expenses associated with the increased restaurant revenue. The increase for the six months ended December 31, 1997 is due primarily to student program supplies costs as a result of increased enrollment levels and increased decoration and entertainment expenses associated with the increased restaurant revenue. OPERATING EXPENSES Occupancy cost increased 19.5% to $514,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $430,000 for the same period last year. Occupancy cost increased 9.5% to $958,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $875,000 in the same period last year. The increase is 11 due primarily to the lease of a 68 room residential hotel in September 1997 and the purchase of a 70 room residential hotel on October 1997; offset by reduction in rent for the Academy's main campus facility as a result of lease renegotiation completed in May 1997. Depreciation and amortization decreased 5.7% to $282,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $299,000 for the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization decreased 2.3% to $551,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $564,000 for the same period last year. The decrease is due primarily to lower expense as a result of the renegotiated lease for the Academy's main campus facility offset by the depreciation expense associated with the purchase of a 70 room residential hotel and continued investment to improve kitchen facilities and information systems. Compensation and benefits cost increased 28.7% to $1,684,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $1,308,000 for the same period last year. Compensation and benefits cost increased 25.2% to $3,305,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $2,639,000 for the same period last year. The increase is due primarily to addition of faculty as a result of the increase in student enrollments; addition of staff in the College of Food to support increase enrollment and the opening of a second campus in San Diego in February 1998; addition of administrative and marketing staff to support growth in enrollments and revenue; and normal cost increases for wages. Outside services cost increased 0.6% to $181,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $180,000 for same period last year. Outside services cost increased 27.5% to $385,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $302,000 for same period last year. The increase is due primarily to increased board of directors fees begun in June 1997 and retention of consultants to assist with documentation of new education programs and filing with Federal Department of Education and State regulatory agencies. Advertising and promotion cost increased 77.1% to $209,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $118,000 for the same period last year. Advertising and promotion cost increased 48.1% to $394,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $266,000 for the same period last year. The increase is due primarily to additional expenditures for convention and conferences attended to promote enrollments; and the sponsorship of a week-end street fair at the San Francisco campus to celebrate the Academy's twentieth anniversary. Legal and other cost increased 36.8% to $617,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $451,000 for the same period last year. Legal and other cost increased 35.9% to $1,204,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $886,000 for the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to legal representation and settlement costs related to a wrongful termination lawsuit, which was settled in September 1997. INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments and interest expense incurred on a $1,200,000 promissory note issued in connection with the Academy's purchase of a 70 room residential hotel in October 1997 12 INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT) The Academy has provided for federal and state income taxes at 20% for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 and compared to a effective tax rate of 40% for the same comparable periods last year. The decrease in effective tax rate is the result of net operating losses incurred through December 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Academy financed its growth from the issuance of equity securities in private and public transactions, borrowings from related parties, lease and debt financing obligations and through cash flow provided by operations. At December 31, 1997, the Academy's principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $1,293,000 and net accounts receivable of $3,397,000 compared to $2,308,000 and $2,847,000 as of June 30, 1997, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due primarily to the Academy's using cash and cash flow from operations to fund capital expenditures and the acquisition of a hotel to be used for student housing. The increase in net accounts receivable is due primarily to increased enrollments. The Academy has long-term obligations of $1,324,000 and working capital of $534,000 at December 31, 1997 compared to $148,000 and $1,066,000 as of June 30, 1997, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, the Academy had $1,200,000 outstanding loans with banks. As of June 30, 1997, the Academy had no outstanding term loans with banks and $50,000 in other term loans. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings There are various legal claims and lawsuits pending by and against the Academy that, in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, are not expected to have in any material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Academy.
