NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (“DRH” or the “Company”) was formed on September 25, 2006. DRH and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMC Group, Inc, (“AMC”), AMC Wings, Inc. (“WINGS”), and AMC Burgers, Inc. (“BURGERS”), develop, own, and operate, as well as render management and advertising services for, Buffalo Wild Wings (“BWW”) restaurants located throughout Michigan and Florida and the Company’s own restaurant concept, Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries (“Bagger Dave’s”), as detailed below.
The following organizational chart outlines the corporate structure of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned by the Company. A brief textual description of the entities follows the organizational chart. DRH is incorporated in the State of Nevada. All other entities are incorporated or organized in the State of Michigan.
(FLOW CHART)
AMC was formed on March 28, 2007 and serves as the operational and administrative center for the Company. AMC renders management and advertising services to WINGS and its subsidiaries and to BURGERS and its subsidiaries. Prior to the February 1, 2010 acquisition (see Note 2 for details), AMC also rendered management and advertising services to nine BWW restaurants affiliated with the Company through common ownership and management control. Services rendered by AMC include marketing, restaurant operations, restaurant management consultation, hiring and training of management and staff, and other management services reasonably required in the ordinary course of restaurant operations.

WINGS was formed on March 12, 2007 and serves as a holding company for its BWW restaurants. WINGS, through its subsidiaries, holds 17 BWW restaurants that are currently in operation. The Company also executed franchise agreements with Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. (“BWWI”) to open two more restaurants, one in Chesterfield Township, Michigan and the other in Ft. Myers, Florida. The Company is currently negotiating another franchise agreement for a BWW restaurant in Traverse City, Michigan, as was recently announced in a July 27, 2010 press release. The Company anticipates having this franchise agreement executed by the end of August 2010. These restaurants will be held by AMC Chesterfield, Inc., AMC Ft. Myers, Inc., and AMC Traverse City, Inc., respectively.
The Company is economically dependent on retaining its franchise rights with BWWI. Each of the franchise agreements has a specific initial term expiration date ranging from October 10, 2010 through June 3, 2030, depending on the date that each was executed and its initial term. The franchise agreements are renewable at the option of the franchisor and are generally renewable if the franchisee has complied with the franchise agreement. Each of the franchise agreements has a specific expiration date, when factoring in any applicable renewals, ranging from January 29, 2019 through June 3, 2045. The Company is in compliance with the terms of these agreements at June 27, 2010. The Company is under contract with BWWI to facilitate another 19 franchise agreements by 2017. The Company held an option to purchase the nine affiliated restaurants that were managed by AMC, which it exercised on February 1, 2010 (see Note 2 for details).
BURGERS was formed on March 12, 2007 to own the Company’s Bagger Dave’s restaurants, a full-service, ultra-casual dining concept developed by the Company. BURGERS’ subsidiaries, Berkley Burgers, Inc, Ann Arbor Burgers, Inc., and Troy Burgers, Inc., own restaurants currently in operation in Berkley, Ann Arbor, and Novi, Michigan, respectively. The Company is expanding its Bagger Dave’s concept to Brighton, Michigan, as was recently announced in an August 10, 2010 press release. BURGERS also has a wholly-owned subsidiary named Bagger Dave’s Franchising Corporation that was formed to act as the franchisor for the Bagger Dave’s concept. We have filed for rights to franchise in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, but have not yet franchised any Bagger Dave’s restaurants.
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”). The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB standards, like FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, are no longer being issued by the FASB. For further discussion of the ASC, refer to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” section of this note.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements as of June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 27, 2010 and June 30, 2009, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information as of June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 27, 2010 and June 30, 2009 is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.
The financial information as of December 27, 2009 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2009, which is included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements.

Table of Contents

The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 27, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 26, 2010.
Principles of Consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRH and its subsidiaries, AMC, WINGS and its subsidiaries, and BURGERS and its subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements also include the account balances of the nine recently acquired, affiliated restaurants resulting from the February 1, 2010 acquisition, as they are now subsidiaries of WINGS (refer to Note 2 for details).
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Fiscal Year
During 2009, the Company changed its fiscal year to utilize an accounting period that ends on the last Sunday in December. Consequently, fiscal year 2009 ended on December 27, 2009, comprising 51 weeks and three days. Prior to 2009, the Company reported on a calendar-year basis and, accordingly, fiscal year 2008 ended on December 31, 2008, comprising 52 weeks and one day. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q is for the six-month period ended June 27, 2010, comprising 26 weeks.
Segment Reporting
Reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services, are managed separately because each business requires different executional strategies, cater to different clients’ needs, and are subject to regular review by our chief operating decision-maker.
While DRH may be viewed as having two reporting segments, one as a restaurant operator and the other as a franchisor, the Company has determined it does not meet the quantitative or materiality thresholds to be considered separately reportable. As such, there are no separately reportable business segments at June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks. The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company, at times throughout the year, may, in the ordinary course of business, maintain cash balances in excess of federally-insured limits. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to any unusual risks on such deposits.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from food and beverage sales are recognized and generally collected at the point of sale. As a result of the February 1, 2010 acquisition, management and advertising fees are no longer recognized (refer to Note 2 for details).
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Balances that are outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off with a corresponding charge to bad debt expense. The balances at June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, respectively, relate principally to management and advertising fees charged to and intercompany transactions with the related BWW restaurants that were managed by AMC and arose in the ordinary course of business (refer to Note 5 for details) prior to the February 1, 2010 acquisition. Refer to Note 2 for details on the recent acquisition, which essentially eliminated management and advertising fees revenue. Management does not believe any allowances for doubtful accounts are necessary at June 27, 2010 or December 27, 2009.

Accounting for Gift Cards
The Company records the net increase or decrease in BWW gift card sales versus gift card redemptions to the gift card liability account on a monthly basis. The gift card processor deducts gift card sales dollars from each restaurant’s bank account weekly and deposits gift card redemption dollars weekly. Under this centralized system, any breakage would be recorded by Blazin Wings, Inc., a subsidiary of BWWI, and be subject to the breakage laws in the state of Minnesota, where Blazin Wings, Inc. is located.
The Company records the net increase or decrease in Bagger Dave’s gift card sales versus gift card redemptions to the gift card liability account on a monthly basis. Michigan law states that gift cards cannot expire and any post-sale fees cannot be assessed until five years after the date of gift card purchase by the consumer. There is no breakage attributable to Bagger Dave’s restaurants for the Company to record for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The liability is included in accrued liabilities in the interim consolidated balance sheets. As of June 27, 2010, the Company’s gift card liability was approximately $3,062, compared to approximately $30,067 at December 27, 2009.
Lease Accounting
Certain operating leases provide for minimum annual payments that increase over the life of the lease. The aggregate minimum annual payments are expensed on a straight-line basis beginning when we take possession of the property and extending over the term of the related lease. The amount by which straight-line rent exceeds actual lease payment requirements in the early years of the lease is accrued as deferred rent liability and reduced in later years when the actual cash payment requirements exceed the straight-line expense. The Company also accounts, in its straight-line computation, for the effect of any “rental holidays” or “tenant incentives”.
Inventory
Inventory, which consists mainly of food and beverage products, is accounted for at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out method of inventory valuation.
Prepaid, Intangible, and Other Assets
Prepaid assets consist principally of prepaid insurance and are recognized ratably, as operating expense, over the period covered by the unexpired premium. Amortizable intangible assets consist principally of franchise fees, trademarks, and loan fees and are deferred and amortized to operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related underlying agreements based on the following:
     
Franchise fees   10 to 20 years
Trademarks   15 years
Loan fees   2 to 7 years (loan term)
Liquor licenses, also a component of intangible assets, are deemed to have an indefinite life and, accordingly, are not amortized. Management annually reviews these assets to determine whether carrying values have been impaired. During the period ended June 27, 2010, no impairments relating to intangible assets with finite or infinite lives were recognized.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and renewals are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed. Management annually reviews these assets to determine whether carrying values have been impaired.
The Company capitalizes, as restaurant construction in progress, costs incurred in connection with the design, build out, and furnishing of its restaurants. Such costs consist principally of leasehold improvements, directly related costs such as architectural and design fees, construction period interest (when applicable), and equipment, furniture, and fixtures not yet placed in service.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation on equipment and furniture and fixtures is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years. Restaurant leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the related improvement, whichever is shorter. Restaurant construction in progress is not amortized or depreciated until the related assets are placed into service.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $560,737 for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and $389,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Advertising expense was $1,046,475 for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and $847,566 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs are those costs associated with opening new restaurants and will vary based on the number of new locations opening and under construction. These costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening costs for the three months ended June 27, 2010 were $111,921 and $131,277 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 27, 2010, pre-opening costs were $217,179 and $133,078 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are calculated under the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires a dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share on the face of the income statement. “Diluted” reflects the potential dilution of all common stock equivalents except in cases where the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Concentration Risks
Approximately 80% and 79% of food and beverage sales came from restaurants located in Michigan during the six months ended June 27, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements with a bank to fix interest rates on a portion of the Company’s portfolio of variable rate debt, which reduces exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use any other types of derivative financial instruments to hedge such exposures, nor does it use derivatives for speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

On May 5, 2010, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a $15 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with RBS Citizens, N.A., a national banking association (“RBS”), as further described in Notes 2 and 6. The Credit Facility consists of a $6 million loan in the form of a development line of credit and a $9 million senior secured term loan with a fixed-rate swap arrangement. In conjunction with the Credit Facility, the existing swap agreements were terminated, resulting in a notional principal amount reduction of $214,074 and a termination fee of $19,176. The termination fee was recorded as interest expense for the three- and six-month period ended June 27, 2010.
The Company’s interest rate swap liabilities at December 27, 2009 were treated as a fair value hedge. By contrast, the Company has elected to account for the new interest rate swap using cash flow hedge accounting. Under the cash flow hedge method, the effective portion of the derivative is marked to fair value, based on third-party valuation models, as a component of comprehensive income.
The Company records the fair value of its interest rate swaps on the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities, depending on the fair value of the swaps. The notional value of interest rate swap agreements in place at June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009 was $8,914,220 and $3,013,271, respectively. The expiration dates of these agreements are consistent with debt instruments as described in Note 6.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 165 (“SFAS No. 165” or “ASC 855-10”), Subsequent Events. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS No. 165 provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 855-10 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS Number 168 (“SFAS No. 168” or “ASC 105-10”), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS No. 168 establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. ASC 105-10 was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 105-10 on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in its financial statements and in its significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in these interim consolidated financial statements by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to require new disclosures related to transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The additional disclosure requirements are effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The additional disclosure requirements did not have any financial impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
2. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
Acquisition of Nine Affiliated BWW Restaurants
On February 1, 2010, the Company, through its WINGS subsidiary, acquired nine affiliated BWW restaurants it previously managed (“Affiliates Acquisition”). Under the terms of the agreements, the purchase price for each of the affiliated restaurants was determined by multiplying each restaurant’s average annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the previous three (3) fiscal years (2007, 2008, and 2009) by two, and subtracting the long-term debt of the respective restaurant. Two of the affiliated restaurants did not have a positive purchase price under the above formula. As a result, the purchase price for those restaurants was set at $1.00 per membership interest percentage. The total purchase price for these nine restaurants was $3,134,790. The Affiliates Acquisition was approved by resolution of the disinterested directors of the Company, who determined that the Affiliates Acquisition terms were at least as favorable as those that could be obtained through arms-length negotiations with an unrelated party. The Company paid the purchase price for each of the affiliated restaurants to each selling shareholder by issuing an unsecured promissory note for the pro-rata value of the equity interest in the affiliated restaurants. The promissory notes bear interest at 6% per year, mature on February 1, 2016, and are payable in quarterly installments, with principal and interest fully amortized over six years.
In accordance with FASB ASC 805-50, Business Combinations: Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control, the Company accounted for the Affiliates Acquisition, a transaction between entities under common control, as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period (i.e., December 27, 2009). Further, prior years amounts also have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information while the entities were under common control.
Execution of $15 Million Comprehensive Credit Facility
As introduced above, on May 5, 2010, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a $15 million Credit Facility with RBS. The Credit Facility consists of a $6 million development line of credit (“DLOC”) and a $9 million senior secured term loan (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). The Credit Facility is secured by a senior lien on all Company assets.
The Company plans to use the DLOC to increase its number of BWW franchise restaurant locations in the states of Michigan and Florida and to develop additional Bagger Dave’s restaurant locations. The DLOC is for a term of 18 months (the “Draw Period”) and amounts borrowed bear interest at 4% over LIBOR as adjusted monthly. During the Draw Period, the Company may make interest-only payments on the amounts borrowed. The Company may convert amounts borrowed during the Draw Period into one or more term loans bearing interest at 4% over LIBOR as adjusted monthly, with principal and interest amortized over seven years and with a maturity date of May 5, 2017. Any amounts borrowed by the Company during the Draw Period that are not converted into a term loan by November 5, 2011, will automatically be converted to a term loan on the same terms as outlined above. The DLOC includes a carrying cost of .25% per year of any available but undrawn amounts, payable quarterly.

The Company used approximately $8.7 million of the Senior Secured Term Loan to repay substantially all of its outstanding senior debt and early repayment fees owed to unrelated parties and the remaining $0.3 million was used for working capital. The Senior Secured Term Loan is for a term of seven years and, through a fixed-rate swap arrangement, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.10%. Principal and interest payments are amortized over seven years, with monthly payments of approximately $120,000.
Purchase of Building in Brandon, Florida
On June 24, 2010, MCA Enterprises Brandon, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRH, completed the purchase of its previously-leased BWW location at 2055 Badlands Drive, Brandon, FL 33511 (the “Brandon Property”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) dated March 25, 2010, between MCA Brandon Enterprises, Inc. and Florida Wings Group, LLC. The Brandon Property includes 2.01 useable acres of land and is improved by a free-standing, 6,600 square foot BWW restaurant built in 2004. On April 28, 2010, the land and building appraised at $2.6 million. The Company has operated a BWW restaurant at the Brandon Property since June 2004. The total purchase price of the Brandon Property was $2,573,062, exclusive of additional fees, taxes, due diligence, and closing costs. The purchase price was paid through a combination of commercial financing, seller financing, and working capital. Specifically, the Company caused MCA Brandon Enterprises, Inc. to enter into a Real Estate Loan Agreement (the “Real Estate Loan Agreement”) and a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and a Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) with Florida Wings Group, LLC.
The Real Estate Loan Agreement provides for a loan in the total principal amount of $1,150,000, matures on June 23, 2030, and requires equal monthly payments of interest and principal amortized over 25 years. The outstanding amounts borrowed under the Real Estate Loan Agreement bear interest at an initial rate of 6.72% per year. The interest rate will adjust to the U.S. Treasury Securities Rate plus 4% on June 23, 2017, and on the same date every seven years thereafter. After each adjustment date, the interest rate remains fixed until the next adjustment date. The Real Estate Loan Agreement is secured by a senior mortgage on the Brandon Property; the corporate guaranties of the Company, WINGS, and AMC; and the personal guaranty of T. Michael Ansley, President, CEO, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and a principal shareholder of the Company.
The Bridge Loan Agreement provides for a short-term bridge loan in the total principal amount of $920,000, matures on April 23, 2011 and requires interest-only payments until maturity. The outstanding amounts borrowed under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, adjusted daily, equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 3%. The Bridge Loan Agreement is secured by a junior mortgage on the Brandon Property; the corporate guaranties of the Company, WINGS, and AMC Group; and the personal guaranty of T. Michael Ansley.
The Company obtained a Section 504 Authorization for Debenture Guaranty issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) on April 1, 2010. The parties anticipate that the Bridge Loan Agreement will be replaced by a Section 504 loan from the SBA as soon as the necessary paperwork has been completed. This process is expected to take approximately 90 — 120 days. The Section 504 loan will bear a fixed interest rate of 4.93% for its 20-year duration.
The Promissory Note is in the principal amount of $245,754, matures on August 1, 2013, is amortized over 15 years, and requires monthly principal and interest installments of $2,209 with the balance due at maturity. The outstanding amounts borrowed under the Promissory Note bear interest at 7% per annum. The Promissory Note is unsecured.
The remainder of the purchase price for the Brandon Property was financed using the Company’s working capital.

The Company is a guarantor of debt of two entities that are affiliated through common ownership and management control. Under the terms of the guarantees, the Company’s maximum liability is equal to the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest. There are currently no separate agreements that provide recourse for the Company to recover any amounts from third parties should the Company be required to pay any amounts or otherwise perform under the guarantees, and there are no assets held either as collateral or by third parties, that, under the guarantees, the Company could liquidate to recover all or a portion of any amounts required to be paid under the guarantees. The event or circumstance that would require the Company to perform under the guarantees is an “event of default”, which is defined in the related note agreements principally as a) default of any liability, obligation, or covenant with a bank, including failure to pay, b) failure to maintain adequate collateral security value, or c) default of any material liability or obligation to another party. As of June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation of the related entity was $1,932,993 and 2,938,000, respectively. The Company’s guarantees extend for the full term of the debt agreements, which expire in 2019. This amount is also the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees. As noted above, the Company and the related entity for which it has provided the guarantees operate under common ownership and management control and, in accordance with FASB ASC 460 (“ASC 460”), Guarantees, the initial recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 460 do not apply. At June 27, 2010, payments on the debt obligations were current.
Long-term debt (refer to Note 6 for details) contains two promissory notes in the amount of $100,000 each, along with accrued interest, due to two of DRH’s stockholders. The notes commenced in January 2009, bear interest at a rate of 3.2% per annum, and are being repaid in monthly installments of approximately $4,444 each over a two-year period.
Current debt (refer to Note 6 for details) also includes a promissory note to a DRH stockholder in the amount of $250,000. The note is a demand note that does not require principal or interest payments. Interest is accrued at 8% per annum and is compounded quarterly. The Company has 180 days from the date of demand to pay the principal and accrued interest.
Refer to Note 9 for related party operating lease transactions.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of the following obligations:
                 
    June 27     December 27  
    2010     2009  
Senior Secured Term Loan to a bank secured by a senior lien on all company assets. Scheduled monthly principal and interest payments are approximately $120,000 through maturity in May 2017. Interest is charged based on a swap arrangement designed to yield a fixed annual rate of 7.10%.

Interest expense was $518,143 and $171,155 (including related party interest expense of $52,581 for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and $13,971 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; refer to Note 5 for further details) for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Interest expense was $687,876 and $351,203 (including related party interest expense of $61,220 for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and $24,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2009; refer to Note 5 for further details) for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The above agreements contain various customary financial covenants generally based on the performance of the specific borrowing entity and other related entities. The more significant covenants consist of a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a maximum lease adjusted leverage ratio, both of which we are in compliance with as of June 27, 2010.
7. CAPITAL STOCK (INCLUDING PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS)
On July 30, 2007, DRH granted options for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company. These options vest ratably over a three-year period and expire six years from issuance. Once vested, the options can be exercised at a price of $2.50 per share. Stock option expense of $8,078 and $8,077, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was recognized during the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations and as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity to reflect the fair value of shares vested as of June 27, 2010. The fair value of unvested shares, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, is $2,743 as of June 27, 2010. The fair value of the unvested shares will be amortized ratably over the remaining vesting term. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years, a risk-free rate of return represented by the U.S. Treasury Bond rate and volatility factor of 0 based on the concept of minimum value as defined in FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. A dividend yield of 0% was used because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the reasonably foreseeable future.
In October 2009, one member of the Board of Directors exercised 6,000 vested options at a price of $2.50 per share. Consequently, at June 27, 2010, 144,000 shares of authorized common stock are reserved for issuance to provide for the exercise of the Company’s stock options.
On November 30, 2006, pursuant to a private placement, DRH issued warrants to purchase 800,000 common shares at a purchase price of $1 per share. These warrants vested over a three-year period from the issuance date and expired on November 30, 2009. The fair value of these warrants, which totaled approximately $145,000 as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was recognized as an offering cost in 2006. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years, a risk-free rate of return represented by the U.S. Treasury Bond rate and volatility factor of 0 based on the concept of minimum value as defined in FASB ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. A dividend yield of 0% was used because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the reasonably foreseeable future. An extension of time to exercise warrants until December 31, 2009 was approved by resolution of the disinterested directors of the Company. As of June 27, 2010, all 800,000 warrants were exercised at the option price of $1 per share.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company expects the deferred tax assets to be fully realizable within the next several years.

If deemed necessary by management, the Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Management continually reviews realizability of deferred tax assets and the Company recognizes these benefits only as reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will be realized.
The Company expects to use net operating loss and general business tax credit carry-forwards before its 20-year expiration. A significant amount of net operating loss carry forwards were used when the Company purchased nine affiliated restaurants, which were previously managed by DRH. Net operating loss carry forwards of $273,141 and $1,956,042 will expire in 2029 and 2028, respectively. General business tax credits of $70,000, $86,678, $59,722 and $46,144 will expire in 2030, 2029, 2028 and 2027, respectively.
The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense. There are no accrued interest amounts or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 27, 2010.
In July 2007, the State of Michigan signed into law the Michigan Business Tax Act (“MBTA”), replacing the Michigan Single Business Tax, with a business income tax and a modified gross receipts tax. This new tax took effect January 1, 2008 and, because the MBTA is based on or derived from income-based measures, the provisions of ASC 740 apply as of the enactment date. The law, as amended, established a deduction to the business income tax base if temporary differences associated with certain assets results in a net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2007 (the year of enactment of this new tax). This deduction has a carry-forward period to at least tax year 2029. This benefit amounts to $33,762.
The Company is a member of a unitary group with other parties related by common ownership according to the provisions of the MBTA. This group will file a single tax return for all members. An allocation of the current and deferred Michigan business tax incurred by the unitary group has been made based on an estimate of Michigan business tax attributable to the Company and has been reflected as state income tax expense in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements consistent with the provisions of ASC 740.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.

10. CAPITAL LEASES
Starting January 2009 through February 2010, the Company entered into agreements to sell and immediately lease back various equipment and furniture at its Flint BWW, Port Huron BWW, and Novi Bagger Dave’s locations, respectively. These leases required between 36 and 48 monthly payments of approximately $29,787 combined, including applicable taxes, with options to purchase the assets under lease for a range of $1 to $100 at the conclusion of the lease. These transactions, prior to the Credit Facility, were reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements as capital leases with a combined asset values recorded at their combined purchase price of $1,108,780 and depreciated as purchased furniture and equipment, and the lease obligations included in long-term debt at its present value. As a result of the Senior Secured Term Loan of the Credit Facility (refer to Note 2 for details), these lease obligations were paid in full, along with applicable prepayment penalties.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Prior to February 1, 2010, the Company had management service agreements in place with nine BWW restaurants located in Michigan and Florida. These management service agreements contained options that allowed WINGS to purchase each restaurant for a price equal to a factor of twice the average EBITDA of the restaurant for the previous three fiscal years (2007, 2008, and 2009) less long-term debt. These options were exercised by the subsidiary on February 1, 2010, six months prior to the expiration of the options and in line with the Company’s strategic plan (refer to Note 2 for details).
The Company assumed, from a related entity, an “Area Development Agreement” with BWWI in which the Company undertakes to open 23 BWW restaurants within their designated “development territory”, as defined by the agreement, by October 1, 2016. On December 12, 2008, this agreement was amended adding nine additional restaurants and extending the date of fulfillment to March 1, 2017. Failure to develop restaurants in accordance with the schedule detailed in the agreement could lead to potential penalties of $50,000 for each undeveloped restaurant, payment of the initial franchise fees for each undeveloped restaurant, and loss of rights to development territory. As of June 27, 2010, of the 38 restaurants required to be opened, 17 of these restaurants, including six that were in operation prior to the initial Area Development Agreement, had been opened for business.
The Company is required to pay BWWI royalties (5% of net sales) and advertising fund contributions (3% of net sales) for the term of the individual franchise agreements. The Company incurred $491,898 and $496,369 in royalty expense for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company incurred $994,728 and $994,976 in royalty expense for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Advertising fund contribution expenses were $296,556 and $293,674 for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Advertising fund contribution expenses were $612,620 and $619,313 for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The Company is required by its various BWWI franchise agreements to modernize the restaurants during the term of the agreements. The individual agreements generally require improvements between the fifth year and the tenth year to meet the most current design model that BWWI has approved. The modernization costs can range from approximately $50,000 to approximately $500,000 depending on the individual restaurant’s needs.
The Company is subject to ordinary, routine, legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. While unfavorable outcomes could have adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, management believes that the Company is adequately insured and does not believe that any pending or threatened proceedings would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
12. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS INFORMATION
Other Cash Flows Information
Cash paid for interest was $518,143 and $171,155 during the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Cash paid for interest was $687,876 and $351,203 during the six months ended June 27, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Supplemental Schedule of Non-Cash Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities
Capital expenditures of $250,000 were funded by capital lease borrowing during the six months ended June 27, 2010.
The Company issued promissory notes totaling $3,134,790 to the sellers to fund the February 1, 2010 Affiliates Acquisition.
The $9 million Senior Secured Term Loan of the new Credit Facility paid off $8,577,071 of existing debt.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, our financial instruments consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The fair value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximates its carrying value, due to its short-term nature. Also, the fair value of notes payable — related party approximates carrying value due to its short-term maturities. As of June 27, 2010, our total debt, less related party debt, was approximately $11.9 million and had a fair value of approximately $8.9 million. As of December 27, 2009, our total debt was approximately $8.5 million and had a fair value of approximately $8.7 million. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate debt using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
There was no impact for adoption of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), to the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009. ASC 820 requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
   
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
   
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Interest rate swaps held by the Company for risk management purposes are not actively traded. The Company measures the fair value using broker quotes which are generally based on market observable inputs including yield curves and the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The interest rate swaps discussed in Notes 1 and 6 fall into the Level 2 category under the guidance of ASC 820. The fair market value of the interest rate swaps as of June 27, 2010 was a liability of $404,921, which is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 27, 2009 was a liability of $213,604. Unrealized loss associated with interest rate swap positions in existence at June 27, 2010, which are reflected in the statement of stockholders’ (deficit) equity, totaled $404,921 for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and are included in comprehensive (loss) income.

Effective July 29, 2010, the Company exercised an option, with BWWI, to renew its Anker, Inc. franchise agreement.
On August 10, 2010, the Company announced the expansion of its Bagger Dave’s concept to the Brighton, Michigan area. The new Bagger Dave’s restaurant is anticipated to open by the end of the year.
The Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through August 10, 2010, the date the interim consolidated financial statements were issued.
15. RESTATEMENTS
The restated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1 (“Restated Financial Statements”) restate the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2010 (“Original Quarterly Financial Statements”), which were filed with the SEC on August 10, 2010 (the “Original Filing”).
On February 1, 2010, the Company completed the Affiliates Acquisition. The Original Quarterly Financial Statements included the activity from the Affiliates Acquisition commencing as of February 1, 2010. However, upon re-evaluation of the Original Quarterly Financial Statements in light of FASB ASC 805-50, Business Combinations: Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control, the Company has determined that the Affiliates Acquisition, as a transaction between entities under common control, should have been accounted for as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period (i.e., December 28, 2009). Further, financial statements and financial information presented in the Original Quarterly Financial Statements for prior years should also have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information while the entities were under common control. The Company’s Restated Financial Statements include the activity of the acquired affiliates for the full 2009 and 2010 years.
In addition, the Company incorrectly incorporated the acquired entities’ landlord allowance balance (recorded as deferred revenue per accounting standards) as a temporary difference for book versus tax rent in the Original Quarterly Financial Statements. In accordance with FASB 740-10-25, Income Taxes, only the amortization of the landlord allowance is a temporary difference. The Company’s Restated Financial Statements includes only the amortization of the landlord allowance as a temporary difference.

Lastly, the Company miscalculated the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three- and six-month period ended June 27, 2010.  No other financial statement line items were affected by this miscalculation.  The Company’s Restated Financial Statements reflect this correction.

OVERVIEW
DRH is a leading Buffalo Wild Wings® (“BWW”) franchisee that is rapidly expanding through organic growth and acquisitions. It operates 17 BWW restaurants; 12 in Michigan and five in Florida. DRH also created its own unique, full-service restaurant concept: Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries® (“Bagger Dave’s”), which falls within the full-service, ultra-casual dining segment and was launched in January 2008. As of June 27, 2010, we owned and operated three Bagger Dave’s® restaurants in Southeast Michigan with the most recent store opening in February 2010. We also have Franchise Disclosure Documents approved and filed in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio for our Bagger Dave’s concept.

ACQUISITION OF NINE AFFILIATED BWW RESTAURANTS
On February 1, 2010, the Company acquired nine affiliated BWW restaurants (“the Affiliates Acquisition”) in Michigan and Florida. The Affiliates Acquisition was valued at $3.1 million. The Company financed the Affiliates Acquisition through the issuance of subordinated promissory notes to the sellers totaling $3,134,790. The notes are amortized over six years and bear interest at 6% per year (refer to Note 2 in the notes to interim consolidated financial statements for further details).
The Affiliates Acquisition consisted of BWW Michigan stores in Sterling Heights, Fenton, Novi, Clinton Township, Ferndale, and Warren and Florida stores in Brandon, Fish Hawk Ranch, and Sarasota. The stores range in age from four to 10 years. The Affiliates Acquisition allows us to fully capture the potential economic benefits associated with these nine BWW stores in 2010 and beyond.
EXECUTION OF $15 MILLION COMPREHENSIVE CREDIT FACILITY
On May 5, 2010, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a $15 million Credit Facility with RBS Citizens, N.A., a national banking association. The Credit Facility consists of a $6 million development line of credit and a $9 million senior secured term loan. Refer to Note 2 in the notes to interim consolidated financial statements for further details.
PURCHASE OF BUILDING IN BRANDON, FLORIDA
On June 24, 2010, MCA Enterprises Brandon, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMC Wings, Inc., completed the purchase of its previously-leased BWW location at 2055 Badlands Drive, Brandon, FL 33511 pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 25, 2010, between MCA Brandon Enterprises, Inc. and Florida Wings Group, LLC. Refer to Note 2 in the notes to interim consolidated financial statements for further details.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended June 27, 2010 and for the six months ended June 27, 2010, revenue was generated from the operations of 17 BWW restaurants and three Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries (“Bagger Dave’s”) restaurants (with the newest location in Novi, MI recently opened in February 2010). For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue was generated from the operations of 15 BWW restaurants and two Bagger Dave’s restaurants.

Compensation costs increased 14.5%, or $430,361, for the three months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, compensation costs increased from 28.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 31.8% for the three months ended June 27, 2010. This increase as a percentage of revenue is attributed to labor inefficiencies associated with new store openings.
Food and beverage costs decreased by $157,243, or 4.8%, for the three months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, food and beverage costs decreased from 31.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 29.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in food cost as a percentage of revenue is primarily a result of the decrease in fresh, bone-in chicken wing prices.
General and administrative costs increased by 16.1%, or $366,707, for the three months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, the general and administrative costs increased from 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 24.7% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 primarily due to an increase in overall advertising, higher repair and maintenance charges and loan termination fees. These increases were partially offset by economies of scale recognized for professional services and restaurant-specific supplies. In addition, as a result of a tax cost segregation study, we were able to ultimately decrease personal property taxes due to the allocation of certain capital assets into lower tax brackets.
Pre-opening costs decreased by 14.7% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to fewer restaurants undergoing a construction phase during the current three-month period. As a percentage of revenue, pre-opening costs decreased from 1.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 1.0% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 for the same reason.
Occupancy costs decreased by 20.6% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, occupancy costs for the three months ended June 27, 2010 were 5.4% compared with occupancy costs of 6.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due the Brandon Property transaction, which provided a one-time reversal of accrued rent in the amount of $213,466 (refer to Note 2 for further details on the real estate transaction and Note 1, under Lease Accounting, for further details on accrued rent).

In addition, as a result of a tax cost segregation study, we were able to ultimately decrease personal property taxes due to the allocation of certain capital assets into lower tax brackets.
Pre-opening costs increased by 63.2% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, pre-opening costs increased from 0.6% to 1.0% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the six months ended June 27, 2010 as a result of two restaurants undergoing a construction phase during the current six-month period versus one restaurant undergoing a construction phase during the first half of 2009.
Occupancy costs decreased by 7.7% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, occupancy costs for the six months ended June 27, 2010 were 6.2% compared with occupancy costs of 6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due the Brandon Property transaction, which provided a one-time reversal of accrued rent in the amount of $213,466 (refer to Note 2 for further details on the real estate transaction and Note 1, under Lease Accounting, for further details on accrued rent). This decrease was partially offset by the addition of rent for two newly-opened restaurants.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 21.3% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization costs increased to from 4.9% to 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. This is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization that is recorded for the new restaurant locations.
INTEREST AND TAXES
For the three months and six months ended June 27, 2010, interest expense was $518,413 and $687,876, respectively, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, when interest expense of $171,155 and $351,203, respectively. For both of the current-year periods, the increase was primarily due to the one-time charge of $301,430 in the second quarter of 2010 related to pre-payment penalties on refinanced debt (see Note 2 for further details).
For the three months and six months ended June 27, 2010, we booked an income tax benefit of $244,463 and $121,887, respectively, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, when income tax provisions of $26,668 and $68,429, respectively, were recorded. The 2010 quarterly tax benefits primarily resulted from amounts we were able to recognize for net operating loss carry forwards, deferred rent expense, start-up costs, and tax credit carry forwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES; EXPANSION PLANS
Our current consolidated interim cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 27, 2010 was $1,581,377 compared with $2,085,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. On May 5, 2010, DRH entered into a new credit facility with Charter One, a division of RBS Citizens, N.A. This debt facility refinanced all existing senior debt originally used to finance the building of our existing stores over the years as well as made available a $6 million development line of credit for future borrowings. We intend to fund up to 70% of future restaurants with our $6.0 million development line of credit and all remaining capital requirements from operational cash flow. The $9.0 million refinance of existing debt will free up approximately $1.0 million in cash flow for the first 12 months due to a lower fixed interest rate and the re-amortization of debt (see Note 2 and our 8-K filing of May 10, 2010 for further details on our Credit Facility).
In 2010, we anticipate drawing on the new development line of credit for the following new restaurants:

The estimated cost of construction is approximately $950,000. We anticipate borrowing up to 70% of the necessary funds and paying the remaining balance through cash from operations.
 
   
Ft. Myers, FL — BWW — construction is scheduled to begin in August 2010 with an anticipated opening date in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
   
Brighton, MI — Bagger Dave’s — construction is scheduled to begin in September with an anticipated opening dated in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for new restaurant construction, remodeling of existing restaurants, and other general business needs. Total capital expenditures for the year are expected to be approximately $7.5 million, of which approximately $4.5 million is for new restaurant construction, $2.5 million is for real estate (see Note 2 for further details), and $0.5 million is for existing store renovations, which includes upgrades to audio/visual.

We believe that reinvesting in existing stores is an important factor to maintaining the overall experience for our guests. Depending on the age of the existing stores, upgrades range from $50 thousand on the interior to $500 thousand for a full remodel of the restaurant. Stores are typically upgraded after approximately five years of operation and fully remodeled after approximately 10 years of operation.
Despite the new development line of credit, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to draw on this facility for new store openings due to covenant restrictions. Management believes that emphasis on prime locations is now more critical than ever to create stronger store openings and earlier positive cash flows to decrease our dependency on third-party financing.
Our new Credit Facility has debt covenants that have to be met on a quarterly basis. As of June 27, 2010, we are in compliance with all of them.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company assumed, from a related entity, an “Area Development Agreement” with BWW to open 23 BWW restaurants by October 1, 2016 within the designated “development territory”, as defined by the agreement. Failure to develop restaurants in accordance with the schedule detailed in the agreement could lead to potential penalties of $50,000 for each undeveloped restaurant and loss of rights to the development territory. On December 10, 2008, DRH, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMC Wings, Inc., entered into an amendment to the Area Development Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with BWW. The Amended Agreement expanded our exclusive franchise territory in Michigan and extended, by one year, the time frame for completion of our obligations under the initial terms of the Area Development Agreement.
The Amended Agreement includes the right to develop nine additional BWW restaurants, which increases the total number of BWW restaurants we have a right to develop to 32. Under the Amended Agreement, we paid Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc., as Franchisor, a development fee of $31,250. Franchise fees for the nine additional restaurants will be $12,500 each. We have until November 1, 2017 to complete our development obligations under the Amended Agreement. As of June 27, 2010, 11 of these restaurants had been opened for business under the Amended Agreement and 31 remain. Another six restaurants were opened prior to the Area Development Agreement which, assuming that we are successful at fulfilling our Area Development Agreement, will bring DRH’s total BWW restaurant count to 38 by November 1, 2017.
The Company is a guarantor of debt of two entities that are affiliated through common ownership and management control. Under the terms of the guarantees, the Company’s maximum liability is equal to the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest. There are currently no separate agreements that provide recourse for the Company to recover any amounts from third parties should the Company be required to pay any amounts or otherwise perform under the guarantees, and there are no assets held either as collateral or by third parties, that, under the guarantees, the Company could liquidate to recover all or a portion of any amounts required to be paid under the guarantees. The event or circumstance that would require the Company to perform under the guarantees is an “event of default”, which is defined in the related note agreements principally as a) default of any liability, obligation, or covenant with a bank, including failure to pay, b) failure to maintain adequate collateral security value, or c) default of any material liability or obligation to another party. As of June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation of the related entity was $1,932,993 and 2,938,000, respectively. The Company’s guarantees extend for the full term of the debt agreements, which expire in 2019. This amount is also the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees. As noted above, the Company and the related entity for which it has provided the guarantees operate under common ownership and management control and, in accordance with FASB ASC 460 (“ASC 460”), Guarantees, the initial recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 460 do not apply. At June 27, 2010, payments on the debt obligations were current.
The Company is required by its various BWWI franchise agreements to modernize the restaurants during the term of the agreement. The individual agreements generally require improvements between the fifth year and the tenth year to meet the most current design model that BWWI has approved. The modernization costs can range from approximately $50,000 to approximately $500,000 depending on the individual restaurant’s needs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We frequently reevaluate these significant factors and make adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.
The Company believes the following accounting policies represent critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. We discuss our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements, including those policies that do not require management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates.
FASB Codification Discussion
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Over the years, the FASB and other designated GAAP-setting bodies have issued standards in the form of FASB Statements, Interpretations, FASB Staff Positions, EITF consensuses, AICPA Statements of Position, etc. One standard that applies to our business is FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases. That standard, originally issued in 1976, has been interpreted and amended many times over the years.
The FASB recognized the complexity of its standard-setting process and embarked on a revised process in 2004 that culminated in the release, on July 1, 2009, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,™ sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. To the Company, this means instead of following the leasing rules in Statement No. 13, we will follow the guidance in Topic 840, Leases. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than Statement No. 13, etc. The above change was made effective by the FASB for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. We have updated references to GAAP in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to reflect the guidance in the Codification.
Property and Equipment
We record all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and we select useful lives that reflect the actual economic lives of the underlying assets. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the related lease term. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method for consolidated financial statement purposes. We capitalize improvements and expense repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. We are often required to exercise judgment in our decision whether to capitalize an asset or expense an expenditure that is for maintenance and repairs. Our judgments may produce materially different amounts of repair and maintenance or depreciation expense if different assumptions were used.
We perform an asset impairment analysis, on an annual basis, of property and equipment related to our restaurant locations. We also perform these tests when we experience a “triggering” event such as a major change in a location’s operating environment, or other event that might impact our ability to recover our asset investment. This process requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a high degree of judgment. Our analysis indicated that we did not need to record any impairment charges during the three months ended June 27, 2010 and the six months ended June 27, 2010. As such, none were recorded. If these assumptions or circumstances change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Deferred Tax Assets
The Company records deferred tax assets for the value of benefits expected to be realized from the utilization of state and federal net operating loss carry forwards. We periodically review these assets for realizability based upon expected taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions. To the extent we believe some portion of the benefit may not be realizable, an estimate of the unrealized portion is made and an allowance is recorded. At June 27, 2010, we had no valuation allowance, as we believe we will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. This belief is principally based upon the Company’s exercise option to purchase the nine affiliated restaurants it previously managed, which happened on February 1, 2010. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of any net operating loss carry forwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining recorded deferred tax assets will be realized. If the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is significantly different from our expectations, the value of its deferred tax assets could be materially overstated.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in the area of accounting for the acquisition of affiliated restaurants under common control and income taxes associated therewith, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 27, 2010.
For certain additional information regarding the restatements of certain of the Company’s historical financial results and the material weakness identified by management, see Note 15 of the accompanying Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements included herewith.
Changes in Internal Control. On April 22, 2010, the Company retained a controller with public accounting expertise to strengthen its internal accounting team. In addition, the Board of Directors elected the controller to serve in the capacity of Chief Compliance Officer. The Company believes that adding a controller with public accounting expertise will improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Additionally, as a result of the identification of the issues that led to the restatements, and the related reassessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, as of September 26, 2010, there have been subsequent changes in our controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the following have been implemented:
   
During the 3rd Quarter of 2010, the Company adopted an internal policy requiring written documentation of the accounting methods applied to significant accounting transactions and the rationale for selecting such methods.
   
During the 3rd Quarter of 2010, the Company adopted an internal policy requiring the review, by a third-party subject matter expert, of material and complex transactions, such as the Affiliates Acquisition that we completed on February 1, 2010.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Occasionally, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims arising from personal injuries, contract claims, dram shop claims, employment-related claims, and claims from guests or employees alleging injury, illness, or other food quality, health, or operational concerns.

We have insured and continue to insure against most of these types of claims. A judgment on any claim not covered by or in excess of our insurance coverage could materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
