BAB, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarter and Year to Date Periods Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

BAB, Inc has four wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (Systems); BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”); Brewster’s Franchise Corporation (“BFC”) and My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagel (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores, including one which currently serves as the franchise training facility. BFC was established on February 15, 1996 to franchise “Brewster’s Coffee” concept coffee stores. My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was acquired on May 13, 1997. My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. franchises My Favorite Muffin (“MFM”) concept muffin stores which are included as part of the Systems franchise operating and financial information. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired on February 1, 1999. All branded wholesale business uses this trademark.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000. The Company currently operates franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB and MFM trade names. At February 28, 2011, the Company had 100 franchise units, 7 licensed units and one Company-owned store in operation in 25 states. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under licensing agreements with Mrs. Fields Famous Brands (Mrs. Fields), Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard, Braeda Cafe, Kaleidoscoops and through direct home delivery of specialty muffin gift baskets and coffee.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010 which was filed February 24, 2011. In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2. Stores Open, Licensed Units and Under Development

Company-owned store, franchised stores, licensed units and franchise units under development at February 28, 2011 are as follows:

Stores open:

Company-owned			1
Franchisees			100
Licensed			7
Under development			4
Total			112

3. Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	3 months ended February 28,
	2011		2010

Net income available to common shareholders	$	34,855	$	20,754

Weighted average outstanding shares - Basic		7,263,508		7,263,508

Earnings per Share - Basic	$	0.005	$	0.003

Effect of Dilutive common stock		1,053		-
Weighted average outstanding shares - Diluted		7,264,561		7,263,508

Earnings per Share - Diluted	$	0.005	$	0.003

360,400 and 368,373 potential shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Long-Term Debt

The total debt balance of $179,078 represents a note payable to a former stockholder that requires an annual payment of $35,000, including interest at 4.75%, due October 1 and running through 2016.

5. Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (Plan). The Plan reserves 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant. As of February 28, 2011, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees. As of February 28, 2011, there were 1,031,627 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

	3 Months Ended
	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010
	Options		Options
Options Outstanding at beginning of period		368,373		369,373
Granted		0		0
Forfeited		0		0
Exercised		0		0
Options Outstanding at end of period		368,373		368,373

The Company recorded compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Company’s stock option plan of approximately $2,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010.

As of February 28, 2011, there was approximately $7,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plan. That cost is to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 9 months.

Table of Contents

5. Stock Options (Continued)

The Company uses historical volatility of common stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options to estimate their fair value. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. To value option grants and other awards for actual and pro forma stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model. When the measurement date is certain, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant and is based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments.

The Company’s stock option terms expire in 10 years and vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period of five years.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at February 28, 2011:

Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Outstanding at 2/28/2011		Wghtd. Avg. Remaining Life		Wghtd. Avg Exercise Price.		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Exercisable at 2/28/2011		Wghtd. Avg. Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	368,373		5.05	$	1.16	$	-		188,373	$	1.00	$	-

There is no computation for the aggregate intrinsic value in the table above because the outstanding options weighted average exercise price was greater than the Company’s closing stock price of $.53 as of the last business day of the period ended February 28, 2011. No options were exercised during the quarter ended February 28, 2011.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment upon adoption of the standard and annually thereafter. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets exceeds its estimated fair value. ASC 350 requires that indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment using a one-step process, which consists of a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the intangible asset. Intangible assets are deemed to be impaired if the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value.

Following the guidelines contained in ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill and intangible assets were tested at the end of this first fiscal quarter, February 28, 2011 and it was found that the carrying value of the goodwill and intangible assets was not impaired.

The impairment test performed at February 28, 2011 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plans projected for expected future cash flows. Based on the computation of the discounted cash flows, it was determined that the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets did not exceed their carrying value.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.” This guidance requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for gross presentation of activity in level 3 which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods in those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements as of February 28, 2011 that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

9. Equity

Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities is a distribution/dividend payable in the amount of $72,635 declared February 25, 2011 payable April 5, 2011.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements regarding the development of the Company's business, the markets for the Company's products, anticipated capital expenditures, and the effects of completed and proposed acquisitions, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements as is within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as set forth in this report, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain risks and uncertainties are wholly or partially outside the control of the Company and its management, including its ability to attract new franchisees; the continued success of current franchisees; the effects of competition on franchisees and Company-owned store results; consumer acceptance of the Company's products in new and existing markets; fluctuation in development and operating costs; brand awareness; availability and terms of capital; adverse publicity; acceptance of new product offerings; availability of locations and terms of sites for store development; food, labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulation (including increases in the minimum wage); regional economic and weather conditions; the hiring, training, and retention of skilled corporate and restaurant management; and the integration and assimilation of acquired concepts. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

The Company has 1 Company-owned store, 100 franchised and 7 licensed units at February 28, 2011. Units in operation at February 28, 2010 included 1 Company-owned store, 102 franchised and 3 licensed units. System-wide revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2011 were $8.3 million as compared to February 28, 2010 which were $8.4 million.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees, from the operation of the Company-owned store and receipt of initial franchise fees. Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of licensed products (My Favorite Muffin mix, Big Apple Bagels cream cheese and Brewster's coffee), and through licensing agreements (Kohr Bros., Braeda Café, Kaleidoscoops and Mrs. Fields). Also included in licensing fees and other income is Operation’s Sign Shop revenue. The Sign Shop provides the majority of signage, which includes but is not limited to posters, menu panels, build charts, outside window stickers and counter signs to franchisees and the Company-owned store to provide consistency and convenience.

Royalty fees from franchised stores represent a 5% fee on net retail and wholesale sales of franchised units. Royalty revenues are recognized on an accrual basis using actual franchise receipts. Generally, franchisees report and remit royalties on a weekly basis. The majority of month-end receipts are recorded on an accrual basis based on actual numbers from reports received from franchisees shortly after the month-end. Estimates are utilized in certain instances where actual numbers have not been received and such estimates are based on the average of the last 10 weeks’ actual reported sales.

The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue upon the opening of a franchise store. Direct costs associated with the franchise sale are deferred until the franchise fee revenue is recognized. These costs include site approval, construction approval, commissions, blueprints and training costs.

Table of Contents

The Company earns a licensing fee from the sale of BAB branded products, which includes coffee, cream cheese, muffin mix and par baked bagels from a third-party commercial bakery to the franchised and licensed units.

As of February 28, 2011, the Company employed 23 persons, consisting of 8 working in the Company-owned store, of which 7 are part-time employees, and 13 full-time and 2 part-time employees located at the Corporate office. The employees at the Corporate office are responsible for corporate management and oversight, accounting, advertising and franchising. None of the Company's employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements and management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 versus Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

For the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company reported net income of $35,000 and $21,000, respectively. Total revenue of $720,000 increased $72,000, or 11.1%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to total revenue of $648,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010.

Royalty fee revenue of $399,000, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, decreased $9,000, or 2.2%, from $408,000 for quarter ended February 28, 2010. The Company had 100 franchise locations at February 28, 2011 as compared to 102 locations at February 28, 2010, which accounted for the decrease in royalties.

Franchise fee revenue of $84,000, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, increased $59,000 from $25,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2010. Three stores opened and three stores transferred during the first quarter 2011 compared to one store opening in 2010.

Licensing fee and other income of $142,000, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, increased $32,000, or 29.1%, from $110,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2010. Franchise settlement and franchise audit adjustment fee revenue increased $18,000 in 2011, Sign Shop revenue increased $17,000 and license fee revenue increased $2,000, offset by a decrease in rental income from the closed Lincoln facility of $5,000 compared to same period in 2010.

Company-owned store sales of $94,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, decreased $11,000, or 10.5%, from $105,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2010.

Total operating expenses of $684,000 increased $58,000, or 9.6%, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, from $626,000 in 2010. The $58,000 increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to a $57,000 increase in payroll and payroll taxes related to Christmas bonuses. Other changes included an increase in bad debt reserve of $7,000 and an increase in SG&A of $17,000, which was primarily for Sign Shop expense of $12,000 and a decrease in Marketing Fund allocations of $5,000. There were also increases in franchise development of $3,000 and rent and utilities of $2,000, offset by a reduction in professional fees of $16,000 primarily due to a decrease in legal fees and a decrease in Company-owned store expenses of $12,000 compared to the same period in 2010.

Interest income of $1,000 decreased $1,000, or 50%, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, from $2,000 for the same period in 2010. Lower interest rates resulted in the lower interest income.

Interest expense was $2,000 for quarters ended February 28, 2011 and 2010.

Net income per share, as reported for basic and diluted outstanding shares for three months ended February 28, 2011and 2010 was $0.005 and $0.003, respectively.

Cash Distribution and Dividend Policy

It is the Company’s intent that future cash distributions/dividends will be considered after reviewing profitability expectations and financing needs and will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Due to the general economic downturn and its impact on the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient earnings to pay out cash distributions/dividends. The Company will continue to analyze its ability to pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis

Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities is a distribution/dividend payable in the amount of $72,635 declared February 25, 2011 payable April 5, 2011.

The Company believes that for tax purposes the cash distribution declared in 2011 may be treated as a return of capital to stockholders depending on each stockholder’s basis or it may be treated as a dividend or a combination of the two. Determination of whether it is a cash distribution, cash dividend or combination of the two will not be determined until after December 31, 2011, as the classification or combination is dependent upon the Company’s earnings and profits for tax purposes for its fiscal year ending November 30, 2011.

The Company believes execution of this policy will not have any material adverse effects on its ability to fund current operations or future capital investments.

The Company has no financial covenants on any of its outstanding debt.
