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.

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.

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.

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.

New Limited Partnership Restaurants

 

As new restaurants open, our income from operations will be adversely affected due to our obligation to fundadvance pre-opening costs, including but not limited to pre-opening rent for the new locations.

have advanced $480,000 through December 28, 2019. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered leases for two spaces adjacent to each other, to house a new “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” as well as a “Big Daddy’s Wine and Liquors” in a shopping center in Miramar, Florida, which shopping center is currently under construction as well as lease.

 

Menu Price Increases and Trends

 

Effective September 3, 2017June 16, 2019 we increased menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 4.9%6.2% annually and effective September 16, 2017June 23, 2019 we increased menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 4.0%3.4% annually to offset higher food costs and higher overall expenses. The last timePrior to these increases, we increasedpreviously raised menu prices was in the secondfourth quarter of our fiscal year 2016.2017. During the next twelve months, if demand for our restaurant and bar offerings remainsremain substantially similar to the demand during our fiscal year 2017,2019, (including a lack of restaurant and bar sales from Store #19 which we expect will be closed for our entire fiscal year 2020), of which there can be no assurance, we expect that restaurant and bar sales in our restaurants as well as gross profit for food and bar operations (including a lack of restaurant and bar sales from Store #19 which we expect will be closed for our entire fiscal year 2020) should increase as a result of the 2019 Price Increases, offset partially by higher food costs.

As of the end of our fiscal year 2017 we abandoned our attempt to expand “The Whale’s Rib” restaurant concept that we manage in Deerfield Beach, Florida through the opening of a new restaurant in Miami, Florida due to our inability to get all necessary governmental approvals.additional restaurants.

 

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. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered a lease to house a new “Big Daddy’s Wine & Liquors” package liquor store in space adjacent to where we are planning a new “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill”, restaurant in a to be constructed shopping center in Miramar, Florida.

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”).

Index

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.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
