DIXIE FOODS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Dixie Foods International, Inc. (the “Company”; OTCQB:”DIXI”) was formed in May 2010 as Dixie Foods, International, Inc. to operate a specialty food business for salad dressing, sauces and condiments.  The Company was organized and still operates under the laws of the State of Florida. In November, 2014, the Company changed its name to “Preferred Restaurant Brands” and is in process of effecting that change with FINRA, the SEC and other regulatory authorities.  The fiscal year end for the Company and all of its subsidiaries is August 31. The Company has aggregated its operations into one reportable segment.

 

On June 4, 2014, the Company completed the purchase (the “Reverse Acquisition”) of KCI Investments, LLC (“KCI”).   In connection with the Reverse Acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of KCI from KCI Holding I, LLC ("KCI Holding"), and an entity that, until the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, held 100% of the membership interests in KCI.

 

KCI Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, was formed on November 8, 2004, but did not engage in any business operations until November 2010.  Currently, KCI is engaged in developing, owning and operating a multi-brand chain of restaurants, currently under two franchise brands: Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops and Papa John’s.  KCI also owns and operates various other restaurant concepts.  KCI and its various subsidiaries, currently operate 17 restaurants: 12, franchised Capriotti's Sandwich Shops; four franchised Papa John’s pizza restaurants, and Elements Kitchen & Martini Bar.  Additionally, the Company has in various stages of development and construction: four Capriottis; eight Papa John’s; a new restaurant concept, and the Italian Steakhouse, all of which it anticipates opening over the next 12 months subject to access to additional capital.

 

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $10,582,341 and an accumulated deficit of $24,696,243. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to: identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing and generate profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining debt and/or equity capital from existing and/or new investors and/or creditors sufficient to meet its ongoing operating expenses, pending transactions and growth plans. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Condensed Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at November 30, 2014 and for all periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's August 31, 2014 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from undeposited funds from the Company’s credit card processor, third party gift card distributors, payroll-related tax receivables, vendor rebates and receivables arising from the normal course of business from catering sales. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable based on a specific review of account balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recoverability is considered remote.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory (consisting principally of food, beverages and supplies), is valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Certain key ingredients bread, meats vegetables, cheeses and beverages are purchased from a small number of suppliers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes ("Topic 740"), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

8
 

 

Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

 

At the adoption date of November 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There were 1,177,322 such shares outstanding as of November 30, 2014, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements. Management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. 

 

NOTE 4—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

As of November 30, 2014 and August 31, 2014 the Company’s property and equipment consisted of the following:

Secured Borrowings

 

On August 11, 2014, the Company entered into three financing arrangements with a third party for a combined principal amount of $470,000.  The terms of the arrangement require the Company to pay the $470,000 principal balance plus an additional $169,200 for total remittance of $639,200.  The terms of repayment require the Company to remit to the lender 24 percent of all future receivables arising from credit card, debit card and prepaid transactions until such time as the total remittance is paid in full.  This borrowing is secured by the assets of the Company.

 

The additional $169,200 will be recognized as interest expense over the estimated term of the agreement.  The term is not fixed due to the variable repayment terms; however, management currently estimates such term to be approximately 11 months. The ending principal balance of these borrowings at November 30, 2014 and August 31, 2013 was $400,346 and $611,621, respectively.

The additional $83,450 will be recognized as interest expense over the estimated term of the agreement.  The term is not fixed due to the variable repayment terms, however management currently estimates such term to be approximately 11 months. The ending principal balance of these borrowings at November 30, 2014 was $254,435.

 

NOTE 8—CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

As of November 30, 2014 and August 31, 2014 the Company’s convertible notes payable consisted of the following:

 

   November 30,   August 31, 
   2014   2014 
Convertible note payable bearing interest at 10.0% per annum, originated April 23, 2012, original maturity date of April 23, 2017. The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at $1.00 per share.  $500,000   $500,000 
           
Convertible note payable bearing interest at 9.0% per annum, originated July 25, 2013, original maturity date of July 25, 2018. The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at $1.50 per share.   50,000    50,000 
           
Convertible note payable bearing interest at the market interest rate plus 6.0% per annum, originated May 1, 2012, original maturity date of May 1, 2015. The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.30 per share.   300,000    300,000 
           
Total notes payable  $850,000   $850,000 
Less: current portion    300,000    300,000 
           
Long-term convertible notes payable   $550,000   $550,000

The total initial beneficial conversion feature recorded for the convertible notes equaled $150,000 on December 15, 2011 which had been fully amortization to interest expense as of the beginning of the periods presented.

NOTE 9—DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815 which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The exercise price of certain warrants granted during the period ended November 30, 2014 are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise. As a result, the Company has determined that the exercise feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the exercise feature of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.

 

ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as items of other income or expense. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with these warrants.

 

At origination and subsequent revaluations, the Company valued the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes options pricing model under the following assumptions:

 

    

November 30,
2014

 
      
Risk-free interest rate   1.45% – 1.49% 
Expected options life   4.87 – 5.00 
Expected dividend yield   - 
Expected price volatility   523% – 538% 

 

During the period ended November 30, 2014, the Company’s derivative liability remained constant at $526,316 and recognized no gain or loss on derivative liability in conjunction with settlement of convertible notes payable, additions of new derivative liabilities and subsequent revaluations of existing derivative liabilities.

 

NOTE 10—CLASS B MEMBERSHIP UNITS

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, KCI Restaurant I, LLC (“Restaurant I”), KCI Restaurant II, LLC (“Restaurant II”), PRB I, LLC (“PRB I”) and PRB II, LLC (“PRB II”) are authorized to issue up to 2 Class B membership units with no par value each, of which 5 and 2 units were issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2014 and August 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Each Class B membership unit was sold for $500,000, plus $60,000 for administrative costs payable to third parties. Each unit carries equal voting rights to the Class A membership units of each subsidiary. Each Class B unit is entitled to receive distributions equal to 0.5 percent of the value of the units held each year.

 

Adjudication and Redemption of Class B Membership Units

 

The Class B membership units are linked to approval of an EB-5 Visa, which requires a foreign investor to invest $1,000,000 (or at least $500,000 in a "Targeted Employment Area" - high unemployment or rural area), in projects that create at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers.  The terms of the instrument state that the Class B membership units have a five-year life but that, once adjudication is reached in the EB-5 Visa approval process, the managing member of the LLC may, in its sole discretion, elect to have the Company purchase, for fair market value, the unit holders Class B Units at any time following an offer by such member to sell his or her Class B Units. This election is optional on the part of the managing member and member has no rights to cause the managing member or the Company to repurchase or redeem such member’s Class B unit. As such, the units (1) are not mandatorily redeemable, (2) are redeemable at the sole discretion of the Company and (3) not redeemable at the sole option of the unit holder and the redemption must be agreed to by Company.

 

13
 

 

Denial of I-526 Petition

 

If the member’s I-526 Petition is denied with respect to that member’s investment in the company, and the member has not been previously expelled from the company, the member has the right, within fifteen days following the date of the I-526 Denial, to request that the company cancel that member’s entire interest in the Company and which time the Company will return the member’s capital contribution and administrative fee, without interest. As such and as the Class B units are not entitled to the distribution of profits and losses, the redeemable value of the membership interest are presented in the mezzanine section of the balance until such time as the I-526 petition is successfully approved after they value of the shares will be moved into permanent equity. No adjustments for noncontrolling interests have been made.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2014, Company subsidiaries issued three (3) Class B membership units in exchange for total cash proceeds of $1,680,000 (inclusive of $180,000 received for administrative fees due and payable to third parties).

 

During the year ended August 31, 2014, Company subsidiaries issued two (2) Class B membership units in exchange for total cash proceeds of $1,120,000 (inclusive of $60,000 received for administrative fees due and payable to third parties).

Food, Beverage And Packaging (“COGS”) increased slightly in Q1-15 vs. Q1-14 (36% of Net Sales vs. 35.2%), resulting largely from the impact of groupon sales and opening promotions. Labor and related expenses were higher (32.6% vs. 27.2%), largely because of the impact of labor for new locations, which must maintain minimum staffing levels during their ramp-up period, especially during grand opening promotions. Occupancy expenses decreased (to 14% from 14.4%) as increasing revenues in existing stores reduced the burden of fixed rent and related overhead. Other operating expenses increased significantly (to 31.4% from 17.7%), resulting largely from: significantly increased depreciation expenses and from marketing expenses of approximately 9% of Net Sales. The Company, through December 2014, invested heavily in various marketing and promotional efforts to build its brands.

 

As a result, the Company incurred a Net Loss from Restaurant Operations of $277,461 during the three months ended November 30, 2014. This loss included approximately $175,000 of Depreciation charged to Restaurant Operations and more than to $119,000 in marketing and advertising-related expenses (6.0% of Net Sales).

 

The Company recorded $2,620,445 of other expenses (including General and administrative; Depreciation and amortization, Salary and wages, Royalty and franchise fees, and Pre-opening costs), up nearly $1.8 million from Q1-14. This increase resulted largely from: (i) more than $860,000 of nonrecurring and/or noncash expenses related to fees paid in equity for services rendered; (ii) the value of the vesting of options previously granted, which totaled approximately $818,000; (iii) increased corporate overhead related to the new restaurant opened and pending openings, and (iv) pre-opening expenses related to the new restaurant openings.

 

Including Interest expenses totaling $1,344,379, the Company recorded a Net Loss of $4,242,276 during Q1-15. Interest expenses included more than $430,000 of amortization of original issue discounts and stock issued for loan modifications.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended November 30, 2014, the Company's working capital deficit increased $2,216,275 to $10,592,341 from a deficit of $8,376,066 at August 31, 2014. The primary reasons for the increase in the working capital deficit were: (i) increased short term debt and payables resulting from delays in receiving subscribed financings and the cost of opening new locations and (ii) the recognition of derivative liabilities related to certain equity issuances.

 

During this same period, stockholders’ equity decreased $3,081,725 at November 30, 2014. The decrease in stockholders’ equity is due to the recorded losses.

 

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,021,359 during the three months ended November 30, 2014, of which more than a $1.1 million increase in payables and approximately $2.1 million was various noncash charges (Depreciation and amortization, Amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, Change in derivative liability, Stock and warrants granted for loan modifications, and Stock issued in connection with execution of notes payable) partially offset the Net Loss. During this period, the Company spent $950,755 on capital expenditures – all related to the construction of new restaurants. During Q1-15, cash was used by our loss from operations and offset by: $1,990,402 in proceeds from debt and equity issuances, net of principal repayments.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the valuation of our assets and contingencies. We believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our financial statements are based on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern we would experience additional losses from the write-down of assets.

 

Going Concern

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to: identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing and generate profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
