Note 1.
|
Basis of Presentation
|
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2016. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2016. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 is derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Good Times Restaurants Inc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Good Times Drive Thru, Inc. (“Drive Thru”), BD of Colorado, LLC (“BD of Colo”), Bad Daddy’s Franchise Development, LLC (“BDFD”) and Bad Daddy’s International, LLC (“BDI”), as of March 31, 2016. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Drive Thru is engaged in the business of developing, owning, operating and franchising hamburger-oriented drive-through restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard. Most of our Good Times restaurants are located in the front-range communities of Colorado but we also have franchised restaurants in Wyoming. BD of Colo, BDI and BDFD are engaged in the business of licensing, owning and operating full service hamburger-oriented restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar.
Reclassification – Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the net income or loss.
|
Note 2.
|
Investment in Affiliate
|
On April 15, 2013, the Company executed a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of 4,800 Class A Units of BDFD, representing a 48% non-controlling voting membership interest in BDFD, for the aggregate subscription price of $750,000. The Company acquired the remaining 52% interest in BDFD on May 7, 2015. Prior to the acquisition, the Company accounted for this investment using the equity method. For the three month and six month periods ending March 31, 2015 the Company recorded net income of $12,000 and $13,000, respectively, for its share of BDFD’s operating results.

Common Stock.
|
On September 5, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1, which was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1, filed on September 23, 2014 and declared effective on September 24, 2014, and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1, filed on January 29, 2015 and declared effective on February 4, 2015. The Form S-1 was filed to register the resale by the selling stockholders named in the prospectus included in the Form S-1 of up to 2,094,236 shares of the registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-3 was filed by the Company to convert the Form S-1 into a registration statement on Form S-3.
On January 26, 2015, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which was declared effective by the SEC on March 25, 2015. The registration statement allows the Company to issue common stock from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $75 million, of which $22,688,052 has been issued.
On January 29, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 which registered for sale 2,094,236 shares of the Company’s common stock by certain selling Stockholders as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. The Amendment No. 1 was filed to update the financial information and other disclosures, among other things, including the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
On May 7, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of 2,783,810 shares of its common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $8.15 per share for net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $20.6 million. Net proceeds were used for the acquisition of BDI and to fund the remodeling and reimaging of existing Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard restaurants, for the development of new Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants, as working capital reserves and for future investment at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Note 5.

Stock-Based Compensation
|
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).
Our net loss for the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 includes $355,000 and $153,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements.
Stock Option awards
The Company measures the compensation cost associated with stock option awards by estimating the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options and stock awards granted during the six months ended March 31, 2016. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards.
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company granted a total of 22,686 non-statutory stock options and a total of 54,110 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with exercise prices between of $5.29 and $6.23 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.87 and $4.52.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted a total of 80,871 non-statutory stock options and a total of 103,955 incentive stock options all with an exercise price of $7.79 and per-share weighted average fair value of $5.85.
In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the stock option awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table:

We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.

Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
|
On July 30, 2014 Drive Thru entered into a Development Line Loan and Security Agreement with United Capital Business Lending (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan Drive Thru up to $2,100,000 (the “Loan”) and entered into a Collateral Assignment of Franchise Agreements, Management Agreement and Partnership Interests with Lender. In addition, on July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) with Lender, pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the repayment of the Loan. The Loan Agreement, Collateral Assignment, Notes (as defined below) and Guaranty Agreement are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.” As of March 31, 2016, Drive Thru had borrowed approximately $1,314,000 under the Loan Agreement, of which $1,118,000 was borrowed during the six month period ended March 31, 2015 and $0 borrowed in the six month period ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016 the outstanding balance on the note was $1,147,000. As of July 1, 2015 Drive Thru could no longer request additional draw downs.
In connection with each disbursement under the Loan Agreement, Drive Thru executed a Promissory Note (the “Notes”) in the full amount of each disbursement request. The Notes incur interest at a rate of 6.69% per annum, are repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest over 84 months, and contain other customary terms and conditions. The Notes are subject to certain prepayment fees ranging between 1% and 3% of the unpaid balance at such time if Drive Thru repays a Note in certain circumstances prior to the thirty seventh monthly installment under such Note.
The Loan Agreement and Notes associated with the Development Line Loan contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, annual covenants to maintain certain insurance coverage and to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and quick ratio.
In May 2015, in connection with the BDI purchase, the Company entered into a one-year secured promissory note bearing interest at 3.25 percent in the amount of $2,414,000. The entire note and all accrued interest were paid off subsequent to the quarter end on May 6, 2016.

Warrants
|
In connection with the public offering in August 2013 we issued 2,200,000 warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock (“A Warrants”) and an additional 2,200,000 warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our common stock (“B Warrants”). Additionally, we issued 330,000 A Warrants to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock and 330,000 B Warrants to purchase 165,000 of common stock to the underwriters in connection with the public offering. Each A Warrant was exercisable on or before August 16, 2018 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and two B Warrants were exercisable on or before May 16, 2014 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Also, in connection with the public offering we issued 154,000 representative warrants to purchase 154,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.125 to the underwriters. The representative warrants were exercisable beginning May 16, 2014 and were to expire on August 16, 2016.
In October, 2014 the Company mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of the Company’s A Warrants. Each A Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at $2.75 per share until 5:00 p.m. Colorado Time on Friday, November 14, 2014. Holders of the A Warrants are no longer entitled to exercise their warrants for common stock and have no rights. No other warrants remain outstanding.
As of September 30, 2015 we had received proceeds, net of expenses related to the exercise of the warrants, of $9,782,000. As of March 31, 2016 there are no outstanding warrants.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
|
Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist of in-the-money outstanding stock options, restricted stock grants and warrants (which were assumed to have been exercised at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period). The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options. Options and restricted stock grants for 328,080 and 345,337 shares of common stock were not included in computing diluted EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note 9.
|
Contingent Liabilities and Liquidity
|
We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sub-lessor of the lease. Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default by the franchisees, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future which could have a material effect on our future operating results.

Related Party Transactions
|
In April 2012 the Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement with Heathcote Capital LLC (Heathcote) pursuant to which they were to provide the Company with exclusive financial advisory services in connection with a possible strategic transaction. Gary J. Heller, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the principal of Heathcote. Accordingly, the agreement constitutes a related party transaction and was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On March 25, 2013, the Company and Heathcote modified this agreement to exclude any transactions involving the Maxim Group LLC and for Heathcote to continue to provide non-exclusive financial advisory services to the Company. On September 27, 2013, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities specifically related to the exercise of the outstanding warrants and the trading volume in the Company’s stock. On November 5, 2014, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities and corporate finance projects as determined by the CEO of the company. The modifications were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Total amounts paid to Heathcote were $0 and $15,000 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In April 2013 the Company entered into a management services agreement with BDFD pursuant to which the Company provided general management services as well as accounting and administrative services. Income received from the agreement by the Company was fully recognized in income and then proportionately offset by the 48% equity investment in BDFD. Total amounts received from BDFD per the management services agreement were $0 and $12,000 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In conjunction with the purchase of BDI in May 2015 the Company now owns 100% of BDFD and has fully consolidated their accounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 11.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
|
Long-Lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment, including land, property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the capitalized costs of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and the expected cash flows are based on recent historical cash flows at the restaurant level (the lowest level that cash flows can be determined).
Given the results of our impairment analysis at March 31, 2016 there are no restaurants which are impaired.
Trademarks. Trademarks have been determined to have an indefinite life. We evaluate our trademarks for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the trademarks with their carrying amount. There was no impairment required to the acquired trademarks as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Goodwill. The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise including, but not limited to, a significant decline in cash flows from store operations. Such tests could result in impairment charges. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill related to the purchase of a Good Times franchise operation on December 31, 2012 and $14,980,000 of goodwill related to the acquisition of BDI on May 7, 2015. There was no impairment required to the goodwill as of March 31, 2016.
|
Note 12.
|
Income Taxes
|
We account for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are adjusted as necessary.
The Company has significant net operating loss carry-forwards from prior years and incurred additional net operating losses during the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These losses resulted in an increase in the related deferred tax assets; however, valuation allowances were provided which reduced these deferred tax assets to zero; therefore, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized for the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 resulting in an effective income tax rate of 0% for both periods.
The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 2012 through 2015. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of March 31, 2016.

Note 13.

Non-controlling Interests
|
Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item in the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions, while changes in ownership interest that do result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary require gain or loss recognition based on the fair value on the deconsolidation date.
The equity interests of the unrelated limited partners and members are shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders’ equity section as a non-controlling interest and is adjusted each period to reflect the limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss as well as any cash distributions to the limited partners and members for the period. The limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss in the partnership is shown as non-controlling interest income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The following table summarizes the activity in non-controlling interests during the six months ended March 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (ASU 2016-02), which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The areas for simplification include income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2016-09 on its financial statements and disclosures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
This Form 10-Q contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the disclosure of risk factors in the Company’s form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Also, documents subsequently filed by us with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference may contain forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:
|
|
(I)
|
We compete with numerous well established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do. Competitors have increasingly offered selected food items and combination meals, including hamburgers, at discounted prices, and continued discounting by competitors may adversely affect revenues and profitability of Company restaurants.
|
|
|
(II)
|
We may be negatively impacted if we experience same store sales declines. Same store sales comparisons will be dependent, among other things, on the success of our advertising and promotion of new and existing menu items. No assurances can be given that such advertising and promotions will in fact be successful.
|
We may also be negatively impacted by other factors common to the restaurant industry such as: changes in consumer tastes away from red meat and fried foods; increases in the cost of food, paper, labor, health care, workers' compensation or energy; inadequate number of hourly paid employees; and/or decreases in the availability of affordable capital resources. We caution the reader that such risk factors are not exhaustive, particularly with respect to future filings. For further discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
Overview.
Good Times Restaurant Inc., through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our”) operates and franchises hamburger-oriented drive-through restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard (Good Times) and operates and franchises/licenses full service hamburger-oriented restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar (Bad Daddy’s).
We are focused on continuing to improve the profitability of Good Times and developing additional Good Times restaurants in our home state of Colorado while developing the Bad Daddy’s concept with company-owned restaurants in Colorado and North Carolina in addition to other markets in the U.S., allowing us to leverage the strength and opportunities of both brands.

Acquisition of Bad Daddy’s International, LLC.
In May 2015, we completed our acquisition of all of the membership interests in Bad Daddy’s International, LLC from five sellers. As of the date of the acquisition, BDI owned all of the member interests in four limited liability companies, each of which owned and operated a Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurant in North Carolina. In addition, BDI owned a portion of the member interests in three other limited liability companies, each of which also owned a Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurant in North Carolina. BDI owns the intellectual property associated with the Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar concept and owns 52% of the member interests in Bad Daddy’s Franchise Development, LLC (“BDFD”), which has granted franchises for the ownership and operation of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in South Carolina and Tennessee. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned the other 48% of BDFD.
The aggregate price paid by the Company for the purchase of BDI was $21,402,000, comprised of $18,988,000 payable in cash and a one-year secured promissory note bearing interest at 3.25% in the amount of $2,414,000. To finance the acquisition in May 2015, we issued an additional 2,783,810 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $8.15 per shares.
Restaurant locations.
As of March 31, 2016 we operate or franchise a total of thirty-seven Good Times restaurants, of which thirty-five are in Colorado. Two of the restaurants are in Wyoming and are “dual brand” concept restaurants operated by a franchisee of both Good Times and Taco John’s. In February 2016 one Good Times franchisee in Denver, Colorado closed its operations due to the expiration of its lease. Additionally, we operate or franchise a total of seventeen Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar locations, of which seven are in Colorado, eight are in North Carolina, one is in South Carolina and one is in Tennessee. One of the North Carolina locations, at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, is operated pursuant to a License Agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2016 we opened one new Bad Daddy’s in Colorado.

In May 2015 we opened a company-owned Good Times restaurant in Centennial, Colorado. We opened company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants in Aurora, Colorado (January 2015), Greenwood Village, Colorado (October 2015), Centennial, Colorado (December 2015), Littleton, Colorado (January 2016), Longmont, Colorado (February 2016) and Colorado Springs, Colorado (April 2016). In addition, we acquired interests in seven Bad Daddy’s restaurants from BDI in May 2015.
Results of Operations
The following presents certain historical financial information of our operations. This financial information includes results for the three month and six month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $6,604,000 or 75.8% to $15,318,000 from $8,714,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. $82,000 of the increase was attributable to the Good Times concept, $1,955,000 was attributable to the Colorado Bad Daddy’s restaurants and $4,566,000 was attributable to the acquired North Carolina Bad Daddy’s restaurants.
Good Times same store restaurant sales increased 0.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 for the restaurants that were open for the full three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Restaurants are included in same store sales after they have been open a full fifteen months. One restaurant was excluded from same store sales for a portion of the period as they were partially closed for remodeling. Sales were negatively impacted in March 2016 by a severe blizzard in Denver, Colorado which resulted in the closure of all restaurants for one day.
Good Times franchise revenues for both three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $88,000. Good Times franchise same store restaurant sales decreased 1.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 for the franchise restaurants that were open for the full periods ending March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Dual branded franchise same store restaurant sales decreased 5.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same prior year period. One franchisee in Denver, Colorado closed its operations at the end of January 2016 due to the termination of its lease.

Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus non-cash stock based compensation expense, preopening expense, non-recurring acquisition costs, GAAP rent in excess of cash rent, and non-cash disposal of assets. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.
We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other fast casual restaurants, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Our management does not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. Some of these limitations are:
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
|
|
|
·
|
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
|
|
|
·
|
stock based compensation expense is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing performance for a particular period;
|
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
|
|
|
·
|
other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
|
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Working Capital: As of March 31, 2016, we had a working capital excess of $3,399,000. Because restaurant sales are collected in cash and accounts payable for food and paper products are paid two to four weeks later, restaurant companies often operate with working capital deficits. We anticipate that decreases in our working capital may occur in the future if and when new Good Times or Bad Daddy’s restaurants are opened. We are in the process of securing a senior debt facility which we believe will provide sufficient capital to meet our development, working capital, long term debt obligations and recurring capital expenditure needs in fiscal 2016 and 2017.
Financing:
Public Offering: On May 4, 2015 we completed a public offering of 2,783,810 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The price to the public was $8.15 per share with an underwriter’s agreement at a price of $7.58 per share. The public offering resulted in net proceeds of approximately $20.6 million that we primarily used for the acquisition of Bad Daddy’s International and development of additional Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants.
We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering after the acquisition of BDI for the remodeling and reimaging of existing Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard restaurants, for the development of new Bad Daddy’s and Good Times restaurants, as working capital reserves and for future investment at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
Bad Daddy’s International Note Payable: In May 2015, in connection with the BDI purchase, the Company entered into a one-year secured promissory note bearing interest at 3.25% in the amount of $2,414,000. Subsequent to the quarter ending March 31, 2016 the outstanding promissory note, along with all accrued interest, was paid in full on May 6, 2016.
United Capital Loan: On July 30, 2014 Drive Thru entered into a Development Line Loan and Security Agreement with United Capital Business Lending (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan Drive Thru up to $2,100,000 (the “Loan”) and entered into a Collateral Assignment of Franchise Agreements, Management Agreement and Partnership Interests with Lender. In addition, on July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) with Lender, pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the repayment of the Loan. The Loan Agreement, Collateral Assignment, Notes (as defined below) and Guaranty Agreement are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.” As of March 31, 2016 the outstanding balance of the notes payable totaled $1,147,000. As of July 1, 2015 Drive Thru could no longer request additional draw downs.
In connection with each disbursement under the Loan Agreement, Drive Thru executed a Promissory Note (the “Notes”) in the full amount of each disbursement request. The Notes incur interest at a rate of 6.69% per annum, are repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest over 84 months, and contain other customary terms and conditions. The Notes are subject to certain prepayment fees ranging between 1% and 3% of the unpaid balance at such time if Drive Thru repays a Note in certain circumstances prior to the thirty seventh monthly installment under such Note.
The Loan Agreement and Notes contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, annual covenants to maintain certain insurance coverage and to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and quick ratio. At March 31, 2016 the company was in compliance with all the required covenants.
Capital Expenditures. Planned capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 2016 include normal recurring capital expenditures for existing Good Times and Bad Daddy’s restaurants, new Bad Daddy’s and Good Times restaurants and reimage and remodel costs for Good Times restaurants.
Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,931,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was the result of a net loss of $1,428,000 as well as cash and non-cash reconciling items totaling $3,359,000 (comprised of depreciation and amortization of $1,055,000, stock-based compensation expense of $355,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $609,000, an increase in deferred liabilities, related to tenant allowances, of $1,979,000, an increase in accrued liabilities of $807,000 and a net increase in other operating assets and liabilities of $228,000).
Net cash provided by operating activities was $335,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2015 was the result of a net loss of $722,000 as well as cash and non-cash reconciling items totaling $1,057,000 (comprised of depreciation and amortization of $493,000, stock-based compensation expense of $153,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $603,000, an increase in receivables of $153,000 and a net increase in other operating assets and liabilities of $39,000).
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $6,180,000 which primarily reflects the purchases of property and equipment of $6,193,000. Purchases of property and equipment comprised of the following:

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $520,000, which includes principal payments on notes payable, long term debt and capital leases of $101,000, proceeds from the sale of stock options of $15,000 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $434,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2015 was $4,164,000, which includes principal payments on notes payable, long term debt and capital leases of $44,000, borrowings on notes payable and long-term debt of $1,118,000, distributions to non-controlling interests of $117,000 and net proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options of $3,207,000.
Contingencies. We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sublessor of the lease. Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default under which we are contingently liable, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future, which could have a material effect on our future operating results.
Impact of Inflation
The total menu price increases taken at our Good Times Concept during fiscal 2015 were 3.4%, and we have taken an additional 2.9% increase in fiscal 2016. Commodity costs have generally declined in the first two quarters of fiscal 2016 compared to the same prior year periods. When combined with our menu price increases, we expect Good Times’ food and packaging costs to remain consistent with the current quarter as a percentage of sales during of the remainder of fiscal 2016. However, if we experience cost pressure on our core commodities, including beef and bacon, our food and packaging costs as a percentage of sales could be higher in fiscal 2016 than in fiscal 2015.
Seasonality
Revenues of the Company are subject to seasonal fluctuations based primarily on weather conditions adversely affecting Colorado restaurant sales in December January, February and March.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, we concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, our controls were not adequate to ensure that all liabilities related to development costs for restaurants that were currently under construction but not yet open were recorded in the proper period. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we implemented a process of analyzing each new restaurant on a project by project basis to ensure that all development costs and the related liabilities are recorded as of the end of each reporting period. This process involves using estimates to record costs incurred but not yet billed for the reporting period.
Based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this report on form 10Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Controller (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as set forth above, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

RISK FACTORS
|
We may be unable to integrate the BDI business successfully and realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
On May 7, 2015 we completed our acquisition of BDI. The acquisition of BDI involves the combination of two companies that, up until the time of our acquisition of BDI, operated as independent companies. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating business practices, cultures and operations of each business. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:
|
|
·
|
the inability to successfully combine our business with that of BDI in a manner that permits us to achieve the synergies and other benefits anticipated to result from the acquisition;
|
|
|
·
|
the challenge of integrating complex systems, operating procedures, regulatory compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets of BDI in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
|
|
|
·
|
potential unknown liabilities, liabilities that are significantly larger than we currently anticipate and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the acquisition, including cash costs to integrate the two businesses that may exceed the cash costs that we currently anticipate;
|
|
|
·
|
challenges coordinating geographically separate organizations; and
|
Accordingly, the contemplated benefits of the BDI acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
BDI has historically operated in a different geographic region from us and with which we have little familiarity.
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants have historically been concentrated in and around the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, whereas, through the date that we acquired BDI, all of our Company-operated restaurants were located in Colorado. The mid-Atlantic region is a new market for us, and our unfamiliarity with the laws, regulatory environment, and employment conditions of a different geographic region may result in our having to devote significant expense as well as time and focus from our management team to effectively operate restaurants there.
We do not have a proven track record of operating in the “small box” better burger casual dining segment.
We have historically operated in the quick service restaurant segment, while Bad Daddy’s Burger Bars operate in the “small box” better burger casual dining segment. We have operated a limited number of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants since February 2014 and thus do not have a proven track record of operating in the “small box” better burger casual dining. Realizing the contemplated benefits from expanding into a new segment of casual dining may take significant time and resources and may depend upon our ability to successfully develop familiarity in the “small box” better burger casual dining segment.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factors set forth above, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may eventually prove to materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
