BAB, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarter and Year to Date Periods Ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

BAB, Inc has four wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”); BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”); Brewster’s Franchise Corporation (“BFC”) and My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagel (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores, of which there are none at this time. BFC was established on February 15, 1996 to franchise “Brewster’s Coffee” concept coffee stores. My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was acquired on May 13, 1997. My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc. franchises My Favorite Muffin (“MFM”) concept muffin stores which are included as part of the Systems franchise operating and financial information. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired on February 1, 1999. All branded wholesale business transacted by franchisees use this trademark.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000. The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB and MFM trade names. At February 29, 2012, the Company had 101 franchise units and 7 licensed units in operation in 25 states. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including to Mrs. Fields Famous Brands (Mrs. Fields), Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard, Braeda Cafe, Kaleidoscoops, Green Beans Coffee, Sodexo and through direct home delivery of specialty muffin gift baskets and coffee.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2011 which was filed February 24, 2012. In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2. Locations Open and Under Development

Locations which are open or under development at February 29, 2012 are as follows:

Locations open:

Franchisees			101
Licensed			7
Under development			2
Total			110

3. (Loss)/Earnings per Share

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

	For the 3 months ended
	February 29, 2012		February 28, 2011
Numerator:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	9,821	$	34,855

Denominator:
Weighted average outstanding shares
Basic		7,263,508		7,263,508
Earnings per Share - Basic	$	0.001	$	0.005

Effect of dilutive common stock		2,401		1,053
Weighted average outstanding shares
Diluted		7,265,909		7,264,561
Earnings per share - Diluted	$	0.001	$	0.005

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 350,400 and 360,400 potential shares attributable to outstanding stock options for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Long-Term Debt

The total debt balance of $152,585 represents a note payable to a former shareholder that requires an annual payment of $35,000, including interest at 4.75%, due October 1 and running through 2016.

5. Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (Plan). The Plan reserves 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant. As of February 29, 2012, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees. As of February 29, 2012, there were 1,031,627 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

	3 Months Ended
	February 29, 2012		February 28, 2011
	Options		Options
Options Outstanding at beginning of period		368,373		368,373
Granted		0		0
Forfeited		0		0
Exercised		0		0
Options Outstanding at end of period		368,373		368,373

All compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses were expensed as of November 30, 2011, therefore; there is no share-based compensation costs for February 29, 2012 but there was approximately $2,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2011.

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

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

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at February 29, 2012:

Options Outstanding				Options Exercisable
Outstanding at 2/29/2012	Wghtd. Avg. Remaining Life	Wghtd. Avg. Exercise Price	Aggregate Intrinsic Value	Exercisable at 2/29/2012	Wghtd. Avg. Exercise Price	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
368,373	4.05	$ 1.16	$ -	368,373	$ 1.16	$ -

There is no computation for the aggregate intrinsic value in the table above because the outstanding options weighted average exercise price was greater than the Company’s closing stock price of $0.60 as of the last business day of the period ended February 29, 2012. No options were exercised during the quarter ended February 29, 2012.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142) “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests. The Company follows this guidance.

The Company tests goodwill that is not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill was tested at the end of the first quarter, February 29, 2012 and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

The impairment test performed February 29, 2012 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment was needed. An impairment test was performed at February 28, 2011 and based on the computation using discounted cash flows, it was also determined that no impairment occurred.

7. Segment Information

The following table presents segment information for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011:

	Net Revenues				Operating Income
	2012		2011		2012			2011
Company Store Operations	$	-	$	129,359	$	-		$	(40,594	)
Franchise Operations and Licensing Fees		567,492		590,253		246,585			275,943
	$	567,492	$	719,612	$	246,585		$	235,349
Corporate Expenses						(235,658	)		(199,457	)
Interest Income, Net of Interest Expense						(1,106	)		(1,037	)
Net Income before provision for taxes						9,821			34,855
Current tax expense						-			-
Net Income					$	9,821		$	34,855

Segment assets changed for the Company-owned store segment at November 30, 2011, as the Company-owned location was converted to a franchise location. The franchise operating and licensing fee segment assets were substantially unchanged for the three months ended February 29, 2012 as compared to February 28, 2011.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes that adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The new guidance is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by permitting an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test that exists currently. The guidance includes a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. ASU 2011-08 is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes that adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective, or not yet effective, pronouncements as of February 29, 2012 that would have, or are expected to have, any significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

9. Equity

Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities is a cash distribution/dividend payable in the amount of $72,635 declared February 27, 2012 and payable April 9, 2012.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

General

There are 101 franchised and 7 licensed units at February 29, 2012. Units in operation at February 28, 2011 included 1 Company-owned store, 100 franchised and 7 licensed units. System-wide revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2012 were $9.0 million as compared to February 28, 2011 which were $8.3 million.

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

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

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

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

As of February 29, 2012, the Company employed 14 full-time and 4 part-time employees at the Corporate office. The employees are responsible for corporate management and oversight, accounting, advertising and franchising. None of the Company's employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements and management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended February 29, 2012 versus Three Months Ended February 28, 2011

For the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company reported net income of $10,000 and $35,000, respectively. Total revenue of $567,000 decreased $153,000, or 21.3%, for the three months ended February 29, 2012, as compared to total revenue of $720,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2011.

Royalty fee revenue of $443,000, for the quarter ended February 29, 2012, increased $44,000, or 11.0%, from the $399,000 for quarter ended February 28, 2011. The Company had 101 franchise locations at February 29, 2012 and 100 at February 28, 2011. The increase in royalty revenue is primarily due to one additional location, a mild Midwest winter and the slowly improving economy for the fast food industry.

Franchise fee revenue of $5,000, for the quarter ended February 29, 2012, decreased $79,000, or 94.0%, compared to $84,000 in the same three month period last year. There was one transfer in the third quarter 2012 versus three store openings and three transfers in the same period in 2011.

Licensing fee and other income of $120,000, for the quarter ended February 29, 2012, decreased $22,000, or 15.5%, from $142,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2011. Franchise settlement and audit adjustment revenues decreased $19,000 and Sign Shop revenue decreased $16,000, offset by an increase in licensing revenue of $13,000 in 2012 compared to same period in 2011.

The one Company-owned store became a franchisee on November 30, 2011. There were no Company-owned store sales for first quarter 2012 versus $94,000 for same period in 2011.

Total operating expenses of $557,000 decreased $127,000, or 18.6%, for the quarter ended February 29, 2012, from $684,000 in 2011. The decrease in total operating expenses in 2012 as compared to same period 2011 was primarily due to an $18,000 decrease in occupancy expense because of an unused construction credit applied to rent in the first quarter 2012 for the Corporate location, a decrease of $5,000 in advertising and promotion expense, a $29,000 decrease in other SG&A that included an $8,000 decrease in general office expenses, a $5,000 decrease in bad debt expense, an $8,000 decrease in Sign Shop expenses and an $8,000 decrease for franchise development because no stores were opened in the first quarter 2012. Company-owned store expense decreased $100,000 because there was no Company-owned store in the first quarter of 2012.

It is the Company’s intent going forward to declare and pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis if warranted. On February 27, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a $0.01 per share quarterly cash distribution/dividend. The cash distribution was paid April 9, 2012 to shareholders of record as of March 19, 2012.

Cash Distribution and Dividend Policy

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

The Company believes that for tax purposes the cash distribution declared in 2012 may be treated as a return of capital to stockholders depending on each stockholder’s basis or it may be treated as a dividend or a combination of the two. Determination of whether it is a cash distribution, cash dividend or combination of the two will not be made until after December 31, 2012, as the classification or combination is dependent upon the Company’s earnings and profits for tax purposes for its fiscal year ending November 30, 2012.

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

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