NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 30, 201728, 2019

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information for the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 201728, 2019 and December 31, 201629, 2018 are unaudited. Financial information as of September 30, 201728, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated have been included. For further information regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.28, 2019. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of the eight limited partnerships in which we act as general partner and have controlling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the eight limited partnerships.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates relating to performance based officers’ bonuses. The estimates are reviewed periodically and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may take in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates relating to the calculation of incremental borrowing rates and length of leases associated with right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE:

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 260 - “Earnings per Share”. This section provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The data on Page 32 shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. As of December 30, 201728, 2019 and December 31, 2016,29, 2018, no stock options were outstanding.

(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Adopted

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred TaxesEffective October 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). ASU 2015-17The new guidance requires that all deferred tax liabilities and tax assetslease arrangements be classified as non-current in a classifiedpresented on the lessee’s balance sheet rather than separating such deferred taxes into currentby recording a right-of-use asset and non-current amounts, as is requireda lease liability equal to the present value of the related future minimum lease payments. We adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $27.8 million and a lease liability of $27.8 million.

(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:(Continued)

Adopted(Continued)

We elected the transition package of practical expedients, under current guidance. ASU 2015-17 is effectivewhich the Company does not have to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases, or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for fiscal years,any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be applied either prospectivelyany existing leases. In addition, we made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or retrospectively.The adoptionless from the balance sheet. This standard had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of this new guidanceIncome due to the escalations of rent in the extensions but did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(3)   RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

(Continued)

Issued

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”.  This ASU addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, “StatementCondensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows”, and other Topics. ASU 2016-15 is effectiveFlows. See Note 6 for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not expectfurther disclosures resulting from the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC Topic 840.  ASU 2016-02 is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet.  ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief.  We are currently assessing the adoption date and the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements and related disclosures.Recently Issued

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)There are no recently issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. The new standard was originally effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal for a one year deferral of the effective date. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effectpronouncements that ASU 2014-09 willwe have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.adopted.

(4) INCOME TAXES:

We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not.

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”) was signed into law, reducing the corporate income tax rate to 21%. Our accounting for the impact of The Act is complete. Consequently, we have recorded a decrease of approximately $268,000 to our net deferred tax asset with a corresponding adjustment to deferred income tax expense for the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2017.

(5) DEBT:

Litigation

From time

Our sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to time,“dram shop” statutes, which allow an injured person to recover damages from an establishment that served alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person. If we receive a judgment substantially in excess of our insurance coverage or if we fail to maintain our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. We currently have no “dram shop” claims.

We are a defendant in litigationparty to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall” accidents, dram shop claims, claims under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations, employment-related claims and claims from guests alleging illness, injurybusiness. It is our opinion, after consulting with legal counsel, that all such matters are without merit or other food quality, health or operational concerns. To date, none of this litigation, some of which is covered by insurance, has hadinvolve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on us.

We are not actively searching for locations for the operation of new package liquor stores, but when our attempt to expand “The Whale’s Rib” restaurant concept in Miami, Florida was abandoned, we decided that the space we had targeted for the “The Whales Rib” would be ideal for the operation of a package liquor store and during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2018, we are currently preparing the spacereceived governmental approval to operate a package liquor store.store at that location. The new package liquor store (Store #45) opened for business in October, 2019.

Purchase of Limited Partnership Interest

During the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2017, we purchased from one limited partner (who is not an officer, director or family member of officers or directors) a limited partnership interest of 0.21% in a limited partnership which owns a restaurant, for a purchase price of $1,600. During28, 2019 and the thirteen weeks ended December 31, 2016,29, 2018, we did not purchase any limited partnership interests.

Working Capital

The table below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and working capital for our fiscal quarters ended December 30, 2017,28, 2019, December 31, 201629, 2018 and our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.28, 2019.

Our working capital increased during our fiscal quarter ended December 30, 201728, 2019 from our working capital for our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 201629, 2018 and our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 primarily28, 2019 due to the $3,500,000 we borrowed againstcash received from the re-financing by our Linewholly owned subsidiary, Flanigan’s Calusa Center, LLC, of Credit priora mortgage loan, increasing the principal amount from $2.72 million to the Credit Line converting$7.21 million, offset by $327,000 due to the Term Loan. We plan to use certainour adoption of the borrowed funds to complete the renovation of our restaurant located at 13205 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami, Florida (Store #20R) and to construct a new building on a parcel of real property which we own which is adjacent to the real property where our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida, (Store #19) operates into which we plan to re-locate our package liquor store and to renovate and expand the restaurant into the former package liquor store space.ASC 842.

While there can be no assurance due to, among other things, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated decline in revenues, or both, we believe that our cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations and funds borrowed on our term loan will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures throughout our fiscal year 2018.2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are food, beverage and labor costs. A large number of restaurant personnel are paid at rates based upon applicable minimum wage and increases in minimum wage directly affect labor costs. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our operating results, but this circumstance may change in the future if food and fuel costs continue to rise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes and as of December 30, 201728, 2019 held no equity securities.

Interest Rate Risk

As part of our ongoing operations, we are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings. As more fully described in Note 914 “Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017,28, 2019, we use interest rate swap agreements to manage these risks. These instruments are not used for speculative purposes but are used to modify variable rate obligations into fixed rate obligations.

At December 30, 2017,28, 2019, we had threetwo variable rate debt instruments outstanding that are impacted by changes in interest rates. In November, 2011, we financed our purchase of the real property and two building shopping center in Miami, Florida, with a $4,500,000 mortgage loan (the “$4.5M Mortgage Loan”). In January, 2013, we refinanced the mortgage loan encumbering the property where our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 4 N. Federal Highway, Hallandale, Florida, (Store #31) operates, which mortgage loan is held by an unaffiliated third party lender (the “$1.405M Loan”). In December, 2016, we closed on a secured revolving line of credit which entitled us to borrow, from time to time through December 28, 2017, up to $5,500,000 (the “Credit Line”), which on December 28, 2017 converted to a term loan (the “Term Loan”).

As a means of managing our interest rate risk on these debt instruments, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with our unrelated third party lender to convert these variable rate debt obligations to fixed rates. We are currently party to the following three (3)two (2) interest rate swap agreements:

(i)        The first interest rate swap agreement entered into in November, 2011 by our wholly owned subsidiary, Flanigan’s Calusa Center, LLC, relates to the $4.5 million Mortgage Loan (the “$4.5M Mortgage Loan Swap”). The $4.5M Mortgage Loan Swap requires us to pay interest for an eight (8) year period at a fixed rate of 4.51% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $3,750,000, while receiving interest for the same period at LIBOR – 1 Month, plus 2.25%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We determined that at December 30, 2017, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material;

(ii)        The second interest rate swap agreement entered into in January, 2013 relates to the $1.405M Loan (the “$1.405M Term Loan Swap”). The $1.405M Term Loan Swap requires us to pay interest for a twenty (20) year period at a fixed rate of 4.35% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $1,405,000, while receiving interest for the same period at LIBOR – 1 Month, plus 2.25%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We determined that at December 30, 2017,28, 2019, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material; and

(iii)(ii)        The thirdsecond interest rate swap agreement entered into in December, 2016 and became effective December 28, 2017, relates to the Term Loan (the “Term Loan Swap”). The Term Loan Swap requires us to pay interest for a five (5) year period at a fixed rate of 4.61% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $5,500,000, while receiving interest for the same period at LIBOR – 1 Month, plus 2.25%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We determined that at December 30, 2017,28, 2019, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material

At December 30, 2017,28, 2019, our cash resources earn interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our return on these funds is affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

There is no assurance that interest rates will increase or decrease over our next fiscal year or that an increase will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.
