(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE:

 

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 260 - “Earnings per Share”.

(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

Adopted

 

Effective October 1,September 29, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The new guidance requires that lease arrangements be presented on the lessee’s balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a 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 which the Company does not have to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases, or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition, we made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet. This standard had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income due to the escalations of rent in the extensions but did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 6 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

 

Recently Issued

 

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted.adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial statements.

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.

Litigation

Our sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to “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 party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of our business. It is our opinion, after consulting with legal counsel, that all such matters are without merit or involve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

(7) CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

The novel coronavirus pandemic and related “shelter-in-place” orders and other governmental mandates (“COVID 19”) has adversely affected and will, in all likelihood continue to adversely affect our restaurant operations and financial results for the foreseeable future. Due to COVID-19, from mid-March 2020 through mid-May 2020, we ceased dine-in service at all of our restaurants, limiting service to take-out and delivery only, ceased the sale of alcoholic beverages at our restaurants and implemented reduced hours at our retail package liquor stores. Since mid-May 2020, there has been a gradual elimination of restrictions on our restaurant operations, permitting us to, among other things, operate at up to 50% capacity (depending on the location of the restaurant), but with no bar service and increased operating hours at our package liquor stores. Due to COVID 19, we implemented (i) certain cost cutting measures including material layoffs at our restaurants and reduced corporate personnel salaries; and (ii) a number of changes to our operations such as the establishment of an in-house delivery service and an adjustment to our traditional staffing model to meet customer demand.

Table of Contents

As of March 28, 2020, 525 restaurant personnel were laid off, representing total annualized salary savings of approximately $1.04 million. In addition, the salaries of all our non-executive corporate office personnel were reduced by 20%, the base salaries of our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer were each reduced by 50% and our Chief Executive Officer has waived his base salary. Since mid-May, 2020 and due to our receipt of loans from an unrelated third party lender pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted March 27, 2020, we have reversed most cost cutting measures, including reinstating employees laid off at our restaurants in anticipation of resuming dine-in service and restoring corporate personnel salaries.

As of March 28, 2020, we are in compliance with the debt covenants of our loans with our lender, but have no line of credit or other availability for borrowing.

We do not believe COVID-19 has had a material adverse effect on our access to supplies or labor, although there can be no assurance that there will not be a significant adverse impact on our supply chain or access to labor in the future. We are actively monitoring our food suppliers to determine how they are managing their operations to mitigate supply flow and food safety risks. To ensure we mitigate potential supply availability risk, we are building additional inventory backstock levels when appropriate and we have also identified alternative supply sources in key product categories including but not limited to food, sanitation and safety supplies.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we, certain of the entities owning the limited partnership stores (the “LP’s”), franchised stores (the “Franchisees”) as well as the store we manage but do not own (the “Managed Store”), (collectively, the “Borrowers”), (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received PPP loans, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $13.1 million (the “PPP Loans”), of which approximately: (i) $5.9 million was loaned to us ; (ii) $4.1 million was loaned to 8 of the LP’s ; (iii) $2.6 million was loaned to 5 of the Franchisees; and (iv) $0.5 million was loaned to the Managed Store.

The PPP Loans, which are in the form of Notes issued by each of the Borrowers, mature two years from the date of funding (dates ranging from May 5, 2022 to May 11, 2022) and bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing approximately six months from the date of issuance of the Notes (dates ranging from April 30, 2020 to May 6, 2020). The Notes may be prepaid by the applicable Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loans will be available to the respective Borrower to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, including rent and interest on mortgages and other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the proceeds of the PPP Loans are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Borrowers will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

With respect to any portion of any of the PPP Loans that is not forgiven under the terms of the PPP, such amounts will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the applicable PPP Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors.

(8) BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

 

We operate principally in two reportable segments – package stores and restaurants. The operation of package stores consists of retail liquor sales and related items. Information concerning the revenues and operating income for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended DecemberMarch 28, 20192020 and December 29, 2018,March 30, 2019, and identifiable assets for the two reportable segments in which we operate, are shown in the following table. Operating income is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses relative to each segment. In computing operating income, none of the following items have been included: interest expense, other non-operating income and expenses and income taxes. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets are principally cash and real property, improvements, furniture, equipment and vehicles used at our corporate headquarters. We do not have any operations outside of the United States and transactions between restaurants and package liquor stores are not material.

Notes:

(1) During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019, our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19) was damaged by a fire which has caused it to be closed since the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Revenues and expenses from Store #19 for the time Store #19 was open during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019 (two (2) days) are immaterial, with the exception of payroll. Store #19 remains closed through December 28, 2019.closed.

(2) During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, our new package liquor store located at 12776 N. Kendal Drive, Miami, Florida (Store #45) opened for business.

(3)We operate a restaurant for one (1) franchisee. This unit is included in the table both as a franchised restaurant, as well as a restaurant operated by us.

The novel coronavirus pandemic and related “shelter-in-place” orders and other governmental mandates (“COVID 19”) has adversely affected and will, in all likelihood continue to adversely affect our restaurant operations and financial results for the foreseeable future. Due to COVID-19, from mid-March 2020 through mid-May 2020, we ceased dine-in service at all of our restaurants, limiting service to take-out and delivery only, ceased the sale of alcoholic beverages at our restaurants and implemented reduced hours at our retail package liquor stores. Since mid-May 2020, there has been a gradual elimination of restrictions on our restaurant operations, permitting us to, among other things, operate at up to 50% capacity (depending on the location of the restaurant), but with no bar service and increased operating hours at our package liquor stores.

Due to COVID 19, we implemented (i) certain cost cutting measures including material layoffs at our restaurants and reduced corporate personnel salaries; and (ii) a number of changes to our operations such as the establishment of an in-house delivery service and an adjustment to our traditional staffing model to meet customer demand. We have been in regular contact with our suppliers and while to date we have not experienced significant disruptions in our supply chain, we could see future disruptions should the impacts of COVID 19 extend for a considerable amount of time. To support our employees, we have implemented work from home support, increased sanitization of high touch, high traffic areas in our restaurants, retail package liquor stores and corporate offices, provided personal protective equipment for our employees and increased the frequency of personal hygiene practices. As of March 28, 2020, 525 restaurant personnel were laid off, representing total annualized salary savings of approximately $1.04 million, the salaries of all our non-executive corporate office personnel were reduced by 20% and the base salaries of our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer were each reduced by 50% and our Chief Executive Officer waived his base salary. Since mid-May, 2020 and due to our receipt of the PPP Loans, we have reversed most cost cutting measures, including reinstating employees laid off at our restaurants in anticipation of resuming dine-in service and restoring corporate personnel and executive salaries.

 

Franchise Financial Arrangement: In exchange for our providing management and related services to our franchisees and granting them the right to use our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and “Big Daddy’s Liquors”, our franchisees (four of which are franchised to members of the family of our Chairman of the Board, officers and/or directors), are required to (i) pay to us a royalty equal to 1% of gross package store sales and 3% of gross restaurant sales; and (ii) make advertising expenditures equal to between 1.5% to 3% of all gross sales based upon our actual advertising costs allocated between stores, pro-rata, based upon gross sales.

 

Limited Partnership Financial Arrangement: We manage and control the operations of all restaurants owned by limited partnerships, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant which is owned by a related franchisee. Accordingly, the results of operations of all limited partnership owned restaurants, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are consolidated into our operations for accounting purposes. The results of operations of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are accounted for by us utilizing the equity method of accounting. In general, until the investors’ cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us and our affiliates) is returned in full, the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee, with the balance distributed to the investors. Once the investors in the limited partnership have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee is payable to us equal to one-half (½) of cash available to the limited partnership, with the other one half (½) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us and our affiliates). As of DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, all limited partnerships have returned all cash invested and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited partnership. In addition to receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of the service mark “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill”.

The increase in total revenue was due primarily to: (i) the cessation of dine-in service and alcohol sales at our restaurants (limiting service to take-out and delivery of food only) and reduced operating hours of our retail package liquor stores not taking place until mid-March 2020 and thereby not adversely affecting our results for the entire quarter; (ii) increased restaurant traffic prior to mid-March 2020; (iii) the 2019 Price Increases (defined below); and (iv) increased menu prices.package liquor store sales offset by the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations. Effective June 16, 2019 we increased certain menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our total bar revenues of approximately 6.2% annually and effective June 23, 2019 we increased certain menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our total food revenues of approximately 3.4% annually, (the “2019 Price Increases”).We anticipateexpect that total revenue for the balance of our fiscal year 2020 will increasedecrease due to increased restaurant traffic and the 2019 Price Increases.our operations being adversely impacted by COVID 19. We expect that Store #19 will remain closed during the balance of our fiscal year 2020 and accordingly do not expect to generate any revenue from it.

Comparison of Twenty Six Weeks Ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019.

Revenues.Total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 increased $3,439,000 or 5.97% to $61,069,000 from $57,630,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. The increase in total revenue was due primarily to (i) the cessation of dine-in service and alcohol sales at our restaurants (limiting service to take-out and delivery of food only) and reduced operating hours of our retail package liquor stores not taking place until mid-March 2020 and thereby not adversely affecting our results for the entire twenty-six weeks; (ii) increased restaurant traffic prior to mid-March 2020; (iii) the 2019 Price Increases; and (iv) increased package liquor store sales, offset by the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations. We expect that total revenue for the balance of our fiscal year 2020 will decrease due to the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations. We expect that Store #19 will remain closed during the balance of our fiscal year 2020 and accordingly do not expect to generate any revenue from it.

Restaurant Food Sales.Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants (food sales) totaled $36,955,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to $35,047,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. The increase in restaurant food sales for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to restaurant food salesduring the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019 is primarily due to increased traffic prior to mid-March 2020, and the 2019 Price Increases, offset by the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales (for restaurants open for all of the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us, (excluding Store #19which was closed for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 due to a fire on October 2, 2018)and eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $1,410,000 and $1,348,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively, an increase of 4.60%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company owned restaurants only was $717,000 and $681,000 for the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, respectively, an increase of 5.29%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $693,000 and $667,000 for the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, respectively, an increase of 3.90%.We expect that restaurant food sales, including non-alcoholic beverages, for the balance of our fiscal year 2020 will decrease significantly due to the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations.

Restaurant Bar Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages, (bar sales), at restaurants totaled $11,206,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to $11,068,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. The increase in restaurant bar sales during the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to restaurant bar sales during the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019 is primarily due to increased restaurant traffic prior to mid-March 2020, and the 2019 Price Increases, offset by the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales (for restaurants open for all of the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us, (excluding Store #19which was closed for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 due to a fire on October 2, 2018),and eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $431,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and $426,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019, an increase of 1.17%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company owned restaurants only was

$198,000 and $194,000 for the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, respectively, an increase of 2.06%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $233,000 and $232,000 for the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2020 and the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2019, respectively, an increase of 0.43%.We expect that restaurant bar sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2020 will decrease due to the negative effects of COVID 19 on our operations.

Package Store Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $11,734,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to $10,227,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019, an increase of $1,507,000. This increase was primarily due to increased package liquor store traffic (i) despite COVID 19; and because of the opening of our new retail package liquor store (Store #45) located in Kendall, Florida during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes eight (8) Company owned package liquor stores, (excluding Store #19, which was closed for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 due to a fire on October 2, 2018 and also excluding Store #45, which opened for business on October 10, 2019), was $426,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 as compared to $393,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019, an increase of 8.40%. We expect package liquor store sales to continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2020 due to what appears to be an increased demand for package liquor store products resulting from COVID-19 and the opening of our new package liquor store located in Kendall, Florida during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative expenses), for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 increased $3,236,000 or 5.87% to $58,321,000 from $55,085,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an expected general increase in food costs, offset by our implementation of the Cost Cutting Measures. . We expect our operating costs and expenses will decrease for the balance of our fiscal year 2020 due to our implementation of the Cost Cutting Measures. Operating costs and expenses increased as a percentage of total sales to approximately 95.58% in the twenty-six quarter of our fiscal year 2020 from 92.91% in the twenty-six quarter of our fiscal year 2019.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of merchandise sold from sales.

Restaurant Food Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food and bar sales for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 increased to $31,837,000 from $30,073,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), was 66.11% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and 65.21% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. We expect that our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales will decrease during the balance of our fiscal year 2020 due to the negative effects of COVID 19 on our restaurant bar operations, the higher gross margin item and higher food costs.

Package Store Sales. Gross profit for package liquor store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 increased to $3,269,000 from $2,741,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019, due primarily to increased package liquor store traffic which we believe has been caused by COVID-19 and the opening of our new retail package liquor store (Store #45) located in Kendall, Florida during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020.Our gross profit margin, (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales), for package store sales was 27.86% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and 26.80% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2019. We anticipate that the gross profit margin for package store merchandise will decrease during our fiscal year 2020 due to higher costs and a reduction in pricing of certain package store merchandise to be more competitive.

Higher payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020 were primarily due to higher restaurant sales, which require additional payroll and related costs for employees such as cooks, bartenders and servers, and payroll for our new package liquor store in Kendall, Florida. We anticipate that, until our restaurant operations are restored to pre-COVID 19 levels, of which there can be no assurance, payroll and related costs will be less than our costs from 2019. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total sales was 30.57% in the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2020 and 30.65% of total sales in the twenty- six weeks ended March 30, 2019.

We anticipate that our occupancy costs will increase throughout our fiscal year 2020 due primarily to the rent we are required to pay pursuant to the newly acquired lease agreement for our new restaurant in development to be located in Sunrise, Florida and our adoption of ASC 842.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

New Limited Partnership Restaurants

 

As new restaurants open, our income from operations will be adversely affected due to our obligation to advance pre-opening costs, including but not limited to pre-opening rent for the new locations. During the first quarter of our fiscal yearthirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020, we had one new restaurant location in Sunrise, Florida in the development stage and have advanced $480,000$646,000 through DecemberMarch 28, 2019.2020. 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.construction.

 

Menu Price Increases and Trends

 

Effective June 16, 2019 we increased menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 6.2% annually and effective June 23, 2019 we increased menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 3.4% annually to offset higher food costs and higher overall expenses. Prior to these increases, we previously raised menu prices in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2017. During the next twelve months, if demand for

COVID-19 has and will continue to materially and adversely affect our restaurant business for what may be a prolonged period of time. This damage and bar offerings remain substantially similardisruption has resulted from events and factors that were impossible for us to the demand duringpredict and are beyond our fiscal year 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 ascontrol. As a result, and despite experiencing increased sales and traffic at certain of the 2019 Price Increases, offset partially by higher food costs. We anticipate that our package liquor store sales will continue to increase, primarily due tostores, COVID-19 has materially adversely affected our recently opened (October, 2019) package liquor store in Kendall, Florida, (excluding package liquor store sales from Store #19, which we expect will be closedresults of operations for our entire fiscal yearthe thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020, due to the Store #19 Closure), while gross profit margin for package liquor store salesand will, in all likelihood, decrease.

In addition toimpact our results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition for the rebuildingremainder of Store #19, which was closed in October 2018 due to a fire, we have a new “Flanigan’s Seafood Barfiscal year 2020 and Grill” restaurant in Sunrise, Florida in the development stage.

We continue to search for new locations to open additional restaurants.

its effect on our operations, liquidity and/or financial condition cannot be accurately predicted.

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 received governmental approval to operate a package liquor store at that location. The new package liquor store (Store #45) located in Kendall, Florida 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.Florida, which shopping center is currently under construction.

During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary, Flanigan’s Calusa Center, LLC, re-financed its mortgage loan with an unrelated third party lender, increasing the principal amount borrowed from $2.72 million to $7.21 million. We

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we, as well as certain of the entities owning the limited partnership stores (the “LP’s”), franchised stores (the “Franchisees”) as well as the store we manage but do not own (the “Managed Store”) (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received loans from an unrelated third party lender (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted March 27, 2020, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $13.1 million (the “PPP Loans”), of which approximately: (i) $5.9 million was loaned to us ; (ii) $4.1 million was loaned to 8 of the LP’s ; (iii) $2.6 million was loaned to 5 of the Franchisees; and (iv) $0.5 million was loaned to the Managed Store.

The PPP Loans, which are in the form of Notes issued by each of the Borrowers, mature two years from the date of funding (dates ranging from May 5, 2022 to May 11, 2022) and bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing approximately six months from the date of issuance of the Notes (dates ranging from April 30, 2020 to May 6, 2020). The Notes may be prepaid by the applicable Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loans will be available to the respective Borrower to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, including rent and interest on mortgages and other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the proceeds of the PPP Loans are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Borrowers will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

With respect to any portion of any of the PPP Loans that is not forgiven under the terms of the PPP, such amounts will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the applicable PPP Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors.

Our working capital increased during our fiscal quarter ended DecemberMarch 28, 20192020 from our working capital for our fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2018March 30, 2019 and our fiscal year ended September 28, 2019 due to the cash received from the re-financing by our wholly owned subsidiary, Flanigan’s Calusa Center, LLC, of a mortgage loan, increasing the principal amount from $2.72 million to $7.21 million, offset by $327,000$648,000 due to our adoption of 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 onavailable from our term loanborrowings will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures throughout our fiscal year 2020.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company doesWe do 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.

We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes and as of DecemberMarch 28, 20192020 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 14 “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 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 DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, we had two variable rate debt instruments outstanding that are impacted by changes in interest rates. 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 two (2) interest rate swap agreements:

 

(i)        The first 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 DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material; and

 

(ii)        The second 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 DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material

 

At DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, 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.

 

As of DecemberMarch 28, 2019,2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) .
