GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1.                 Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month period ended December 31, 2014. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2015. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Good Times Restaurants Inc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Good Times Drive Thru, Inc. (“Drive Thru”) and BD of Colorado, LLC (“BD of Colo”), as of December 31, 2014. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Drive Thru is engaged in the business of developing, owning, operating and franchising hamburger-oriented drive-through restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard.  Most of our Good Times restaurants are located in the front-range communities of Colorado but we also have franchised restaurants in Wyoming. BD of Colo is engaged in the business of developing, owning and operating full service hamburger-oriented restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar.
 
Reclassification – Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Such reclassifications had no effect on the net income or loss.
 
Note 2.                 Recent Developments
 
During fiscal 2014, BD of Colo opened two Bad Daddy’s restaurants in the Denver metropolitan area and a third opened in early January 2015.  We are negotiating additional Bad Daddy’s leases for development in 2015 and 2016.
 
In November, 2014 Drive Thru opened a new Good Times restaurant in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and closed on the purchase of land in December 2014 for the development of an additional Good Times restaurant in Aurora, Colorado expected to open in the spring of 2015.
 
During fiscal 2014, our liquidity and equity significantly increased from the exercise of approximately 97% of the Series B warrants and approximately 50% of the Series A warrants.  As of December 31, 2014 a total of 2,450,100 Series A Warrants, representing 97% of the outstanding Series A Warrants and 100% of the 154,000 Underwriter Warrants, were exercised by the holders.  Total proceeds from all warrants exercised, net of expenses related to the exercise of the warrants, were $9,796,900, including $3,233,000 during the three month period ending December 31, 2014. In connection with the exercise of all warrants we issued a total of 3,791,749 shares of our common stock.
 
In October, 2014 the Company mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of the Company’s A Warrants.  Each A Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at $2.75 per share until 5:00 p.m. Colorado Time on Friday, November 14, 2014.  Holders of the A Warrants are no longer entitled to exercise their warrants for common stock and have no rights, except to receive the redemption price of $.01 per A Warrant, upon surrender of their Series A Warrants.  No other warrants remain outstanding.
 
On January 26, 2015, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  When declared effective by the SEC, the registration statement will allow the Company to issue common stock from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $75 million.  After the shelf registration statement becomes effective, Good Times may offer and sell securities covered by the registration statement through one or more methods of distribution, subject to market conditions and Good Times’ capital needs. The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to completion of the offering.  The terms of any securities offered under the registration statement, and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting therefrom, will be established at the times of the offerings and will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC at the times of the offerings.

On January 29, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 which registered for sale 2,094,236 shares of the Company’s common stock by certain selling Stockholders as further described in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.  The Amendment No. 1 was filed to update the financial information and other disclosures, among other things, including the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
 
As reported on form 8-K, on July 30, 2014 Drive Thru entered into a Development Line Loan and Security Agreement with United Capital Business Lending (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan Drive Thru up to $2,100,000 (the “Loan”) and entered into a Collateral Assignment of Franchise Agreements, Management Agreement and Partnership Interests with Lender.   As of December 31, 2014, Drive Thru had borrowed approximately $597,000 under the Loan Agreement.  In addition, on July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) with Lender, pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the repayment of the Loan.  The Loan Agreement, Collateral Assignment, Notes (as defined below) and Guaranty Agreement are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”
 
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Drive Thru may use up to $750,000 of the Loan to purchase a Point of Sale System and up to $1,350,000 of the Loan for the development of three new Good Times restaurants.  Drive Thru may request disbursements under the Loan Agreement for development costs of Good Times restaurants on or before July 1, 2015.  In connection with each disbursement under the Loan Agreement, Drive Thru shall execute a Promissory Note (the “Notes”) in the full amount of each disbursement request.  The Notes incur interest at a rate of 6.69% per annum, are repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest over 84 months, and contain other customary terms and conditions.  The Notes are subject to certain prepayment fees ranging between 1% and 3% of the unpaid balance at such time if Drive Thru repays a Note in certain circumstances prior to the thirty seventh monthly installment under such Note.
 
The Loan Agreement and Notes contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, annual covenants to maintain certain insurance coverage and to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and quick ratio.
 
Note 3.                 Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).
 
Our net loss for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 includes $67,000 and $32,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements.
 
Stock Option awards
 
The Company measures the compensation cost associated with stock option awards by estimating the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options and stock awards granted during fiscal 2014. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2013 the Company granted 89,500 incentive stock options from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with an exercise price of $2.48 and a per-share weighted average fair value of $2.12.
 
In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the stock option awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table:
 
 
Fiscal 2014
Incentive Stock Options
Expected term (years)
6.5
Expected volatility
112.11%
Risk-free interest rate
1.94%
Expected dividends
0
 
We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.

    181,245     $5.20     5.5  
 
As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and exercisable options was $1,600,000 and $685,000, respectively. Only options whose exercise price is below the current market price of the underlying stock are included in the intrinsic value calculation.
 
As of December 31, 2014, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $198,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.92 years.
 
Restricted Stock Grants
 
During the fiscal year 2014, the Company issued 123,840 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and executive officers from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended. The shares were issued with a grant date fair market value of $3.23 which is equal to the closing price of the stock on the date of the grants. The restricted stock grant vests three years following the grant date.

Note 4.                 Warrants
 
In connection with the public offering in August 2013 we issued 2,200,000 warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock (“A Warrants”) and an additional 2,200,000 warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our common stock (“B Warrants”). Additionally we issued 330,000 A warrants to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock and 330,000 B warrants to purchase 165,000 of common stock to the underwriters in connection with the public offering. Each A Warrant is exercisable on or before August 16, 2018 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and two B Warrants were exercisable on or before May 16, 2014 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Also, in connection with the public offering we issued 154,000 representative warrants to purchase 154,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.125 to the underwriters. The representative warrants were exercisable beginning May 16, 2014 and expire on August 16, 2016.
 
As of December 31, 2014 we had received proceeds, net of expenses related to the exercise of the warrants, of $9,796,900, including $3,233,000 during the three month period ending December 31, 2014. A summary of warrant activity for the three months ended December 31, 2014 is presented in the following table:

Note 5.                 Preferred Stock
 
On March 28, 2014, Small Island Investments Limited converted all 355,451 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, into 710,902 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.  The effects of the conversion are to eliminate the Company’s payment of dividends on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and to eliminate the possible need for the Company to redeem the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for a cash payment.
 
Note 6.                 Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist of in-the-money outstanding stock options and warrants (which were assumed to have been exercised at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period). The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options. Options for 381,166 and 407,237 shares of common stock, and warrants for 79,900 and 3,795,000 shares of common stock, were not included in computing diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive.
 
Note 7.                 Contingent Liabilities and Liquidity
 
We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees.  We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sublessor of the lease.  Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default by the franchisees, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future which could have a material effect on our future operating results.
 
Note 8.                 Related Party Transactions
 
In April, 2012 the Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement with Heathcote Capital LLC (Heathcote) pursuant to which they were to provide the Company with exclusive financial advisory services in connection with a possible strategic transaction. Gary J. Heller, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the principal of Heathcote.  Accordingly, the agreement constitutes a related party transaction and was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On March 25, 2013, the Company and Heathcote modified this agreement to exclude any transactions involving the Maxim Group LLC and for Heathcote to continue to provide non-exclusive financial advisory services to the Company. On September 27, 2013, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities specifically related to the exercise of the outstanding warrants and the trading volume in the Company’s stock and other corporate finance projects as determined by the CEO of the company. On November 5, 2014, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities and corporate finance projects as determined by the CEO of the company. The modifications were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Total amounts paid to Heathcote were $10,000 and $30,000 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
In April 2013 the Company entered into a management services agreement with BDFD pursuant to which the Company will provide general management services as well as accounting and administrative services. Income received from the agreement by the Company is fully recognized in income and then proportionately offset by the 48% equity investment in BDFD. Total amounts received from BDFD per the management services agreement were $6,000 in each of the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. In addition to the management services the Company performed scope of work services and total amounts received from BDFD for these services were $0 and $18,000 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 9.                 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
We review our long-lived assets for impairment, including land, property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the capitalized costs of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and the expected cash flows are based on recent historical cash flows at the restaurant level (the lowest level that cash flows can be determined).
 
Given the results of our impairment analysis at December 31, 2014 there are no restaurants which are impaired.
 
Goodwill
 
The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise including, but not limited to, a significant decline in cash flows from store operations. Such tests could result in impairment charges. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill related to the purchase of a franchise operation on December 31, 2012. There was no impairment required to the acquired goodwill as of December 31, 2014.
 
Note 10.                      Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are adjusted as necessary.
 
The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 2011 through 2014. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of December 31, 2014.
 
Note 11.                 Non-controlling Interests
 
Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item in the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions, while changes in ownership interest that do result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary require gain or loss recognition in net income based on the fair value on the deconsolidation date.
 
Note 12.                 Investment in Affiliate
 
On April 15, 2013, the Company executed a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of 4,800 Class A Units of Bad Daddy’s Franchise Development, LLC (BDFD), representing a 48% non-controlling voting membership interest in BDFD, for the aggregate subscription price of $750,000.  The subscription price was payable in two equal installments. The first $375,000 installment was paid on the date of execution of the Subscription Agreement and the remaining $375,000 installment was paid in December 2013.
 
The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method. For the three month periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded net income of $1,000 and a net loss of ($72,000), respectively, for its share of BDFD’s operating results.  The carrying value at December 31, 2014 was $503,000, which is represented as Investment in Affiliate in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 13.                 Subsequent Events
 
On January 26, 2015 we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  When declared effective by the SEC, the registration statement will allow the Company to issue common stock from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $75 million.  After the shelf registration statement becomes effective, Good Times may offer and sell securities covered by the registration statement through one or more methods of distribution, subject to market conditions and Good Times’ capital needs. The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to completion of the offering.  The terms of any securities offered under the registration statement, and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting therefrom, will be established at the times of the offerings and will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC at the times of the offerings.
 
On January 29, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 which registered for sale 2,094,236 shares of the Company’s common stock by certain selling Stockholders as further described in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.  The Amendment No. 1 was filed to update the financial information and other disclosures, among other things, including the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
 
Note 14.                 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed all significant recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to our operations or that no material effect is expected on our consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
 
Note 15.                 Segment Information
 
All of our Good Times Burgers and Frozen Custard restaurants (Good Times) compete in the quick-service drive-through dining industry while our Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants (Bad Daddy’s) compete in the full-service upscale casual dining industry. We believe that providing this additional financial information for each of our brands will provide a better understanding of our overall operating results. Income (loss) from operations represents revenues less restaurant operating costs and expenses, directly allocable general and administrative expenses, and other restaurant-level expenses directly associated with each brand including depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs and losses or gains on disposal of property and equipment. Unallocated corporate capital expenditures are presented below as reconciling items to the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
General
 
This Form 10-Q contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the disclosure of risk factors in the Company’s form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.  Also, documents subsequently filed by us with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference may contain forward-looking statements.  We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:
 
 
(I)
We compete with numerous well established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do.  Competitors have increasingly offered selected food items and combination meals, including hamburgers, at discounted prices, and continued discounting by competitors may adversely affect revenues and profitability of Company restaurants.
 
 
(II)
We may be negatively impacted if we experience same store sales declines.  Same store sales comparisons will be dependent, among other things, on the success of our advertising and promotion of new and existing menu items.  No assurances can be given that such advertising and promotions will in fact be successful.
 
We may also be negatively impacted by other factors common to the restaurant industry such as: changes in consumer tastes away from red meat and fried foods; increases in the cost of food, paper, labor, health care, workers' compensation or energy; inadequate number of hourly paid employees; and/or decreases in the availability of affordable capital resources.  We caution the reader that such risk factors are not exhaustive, particularly with respect to future filings. For further discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
 
Good Times Restaurant Locations
 
We currently operate or franchise a total of thirty-seven Good Times restaurants, of which thirty-five are in the Denver, Colorado greater metropolitan area. Two of these restaurants are “dual brand”, operated pursuant to a Dual Brand Test Agreement with Taco John’s International in Wyoming.

Fiscal 2014: In December 2013 a Good Times franchisee closed a low volume restaurant in Lakewood, Colorado. In May 2014 a franchisee terminated its Good Times franchise agreement in the test dual brand concept and has stopped selling Good Times products at its North Dakota location.
 
Fiscal 2015: In November 2014 we opened a new company-owned Good Times restaurant in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and we have a new Good Times company-owned restaurant currently under construction in Aurora, Colorado, which is expected to open in April 2015.
 
Bad Daddy’s Restaurant Locations
 
We currently operate three Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in the Denver, Colorado greater metropolitan area, one of which opened in February 2014, the second in late July 2014 and the third opened in early January 2015.
 
The following presents certain historical financial information of our operations.  This financial information includes results for the three month periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
Good Times restaurants:
 
Same store sales at our Good Times restaurants increased 14.6% for fiscal 2014, and have increased 8% in the first three months of fiscal 2015. These results reflect the continuation of the positive momentum we have experienced since fiscal 2011.
 
Our outlook for fiscal 2015 for Good Times is cautiously optimistic based on the last three years of positive sales trends, however our sales trends are influenced by many factors. We are continuing to manage our marketing communications to balance growth in customer traffic and the average customer expenditure.  We opened one new Good Times restaurant in November 2014 and closed on the purchase of land for one restaurant in December 2014 that is anticipated to open in April 2015.
 
Bad Daddy’s restaurants:
 
We currently operate three Bad Daddy’s restaurants in the Denver, Colorado greater metropolitan area. We have several more locations in various stages of negotiation for development in fiscal 2015 and 2016.  Our first location in Colorado continues to be negatively impacted by significant construction in the immediate trade area and is the lowest average weekly sales restaurant in the Bad Daddy’s system.  We anticipate that sales will continue to be negatively impacted until late spring or summer of 2015.  Our second location in Colorado opened on July 28, 2014 and continues to be the highest average weekly sales restaurant in the Bad Daddy’s system as of the date of this filing. Our third location in Colorado opened in early January 2015 and during the three weeks it was open in January 2015 was the second highest average weekly sales restaurant in the Bad Daddy’s system.
 
Net Revenues
 
Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased $1,944,000 or 32.9% to $7,855,000 from $5,911,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, of which $693,000 came from the Good Times concept.
 
Good Times same store restaurant sales increased 8% during the three months ended December 31, 2014 for the restaurants that were open for the full three month periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Restaurants are included in same store sales after they have been open a full fifteen months. Restaurant sales increased $221,000 due to one new company-owned restaurant that opened in November 2014
 
Good Times franchise revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased $7,000 to $89,000 from $82,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to an increase in franchise royalties. Same store Good Times franchise restaurant sales increased 5.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2014 for the franchise restaurants that were open for the full periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Dual branded franchise restaurant sales decreased 8.5% during the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the closure of one dual branded restaurant in April 2014.
 
Bad Daddy’s restaurant sales were $1,251,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 for the two Bad Daddy’s restaurants that were open during the period.
 
Restaurant Operating Costs
 
Good Times restaurant operating costs as a percent of restaurant sales were 88.8% during the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 87.3% in the same prior year period.

Restaurant-level costs for the period ended December 31,
2014
    88.8 %
 
Food and Packaging Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 food and packaging costs increased $810,000 to $2,749,000 (35.4% of restaurant sales) from $1,939,000 (33.3% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 food and packaging costs for our Good Times concept increased $401,000 to $2,340,000 (35.9% of restaurant sales) from $1,939,000 (33.3% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
In fiscal 2014 our total weighted food and packaging costs related to our Good Times concept increased approximately 13% compared to fiscal 2013.  The total menu price increases taken during fiscal 2014 were 4.4% and we took an additional 1% menu price increase in October 2014.  Subsequent to December 31, 2014 we took an additional 1.6% menu price increase.  We experienced unprecedented cost increases in beef and bacon from January to September 2014, with beef and bacon prices increasing approximately 38% and 29%, respectively.  We have experienced some moderation in commodity costs at the end of our first fiscal quarter of 2015 and when combined with our menu price increase, we expect Good Times’ food and packaging costs to decline as a percentage of sales during our second fiscal quarter. However, we anticipate continued cost pressure on several core commodities, including beef, and expect our food and packaging costs as a percentage of sales to be higher in fiscal 2015 than in fiscal 2014.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 food and packaging costs for our Bad Daddy’s concept were $409,000 or 32.7% of restaurant sales.
 
Payroll and Other Employee Benefit Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 our payroll and other employee benefit costs increased $675,000 to $2,657,000 (34.2% of restaurant sales) from $1,982,000 (34% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 our payroll and other employee benefit costs for our Good Times concept increased $133,000 to $2,115,000 (32.5% of restaurant sales) from $1,982,000 (34% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period. Of the $133,000 increase in payroll and other employee benefit costs $76,000 is attributable to the new company-owned restaurant opened in November 2014, the remaining increase of $57,000 is the result of increased same store sales compared to the same prior year period. Due to the semi-variable nature of payroll and other employee benefit costs these costs will decrease as a percentage of restaurant sales as restaurant sales increase.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 payroll and other employee benefit costs for our Bad Daddy’s concept were $542,000 (43.3% of restaurant sales). Payroll and other employee benefit costs are abnormally high due to the lower opening sales volume in our first location and the inclusion of costs related to training and regional management. We anticipate that these costs as a percentage of restaurant sales will decline as sales increase and additional locations are opened in fiscal 2015.

Occupancy and Other Operating Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 our occupancy and other operating costs increased $310,000 to $1,338,000 (17.2% of restaurant sales) from $1,027,000 (17.6% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 our occupancy and other operating costs for our Good Times concept increased $84,000 to $1,110,000 (17.0% of restaurant sales) from $1,026,000 (17.6% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
The increase for the Good Times concept in the three month period ending December 31, 2014 is partially attributable to the opening of one new company-owned restaurant in November 2014. We also experienced increases in rent, property taxes, utilities, restaurant repairs and bank credit card fees compared to the same prior year periods. Due to the fixed nature of occupancy costs they will decrease as a percentage of restaurant sales as restaurant sales increase.
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2014 occupancy and other operating costs for our Bad Daddy’s concept were $228,000 or 18% of restaurant sales.
 
Preopening Costs
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2014 our new store preopening costs increased $89,000 to $237,000 from $148,000 compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2014 new store preopening costs for our Good Times concept were $64,000 and are related to the new company-owned restaurant that opened in November 2014.
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2014 our new store preopening costs for our Bad Daddy’s concept increased $25,000 to $173,000 from $148,000 compared to the same prior year period. All of the preopening costs are related to the initial Bad Daddy’s restaurants being developed by BD of Colo.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, our depreciation and amortization increased $78,000 to $221,000 (2.8% of restaurant sales) from $143,000 (2.5% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, our depreciation and amortization for our Good Times concept increased $16,000 to $158,000 (2.4% of restaurant sales) from $142,000 (2.4% of restaurant sales) compared to the same prior year period.
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2014 depreciation and amortization for our Bad Daddy’s concept was $63,000.
 
General and Administrative Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, general and administrative costs increased $211,000 to $719,000 (9.2% of total revenues) from $508,000 (8.6% of total revenues) for the same prior year period.
 
The increase for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 was mainly attributable to a $118,000 increase in payroll and employee benefit costs and stock based compensation expense as well as increases in rent, directors’ fees, professional services and financial relations costs.
 
Advertising Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 advertising costs increased $43,000 to $277,000 (3.6% of restaurant sales) from $234,000 (4% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period.
 
Advertising costs for our Good Times concept consists primarily of contributions made to the advertising materials fund and regional advertising cooperative based on a percentage of restaurant sales. The percentage contribution for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 remained the same as the prior year period.
 
Advertising costs of $14,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 are attributable to our Bad Daddy’s concept and consisted primarily of menu development and printing costs.
 
Franchise Costs
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, franchise costs increased $4,000 to $26,000 (.4% of Good Times total revenues) from $22,000 (.3% of Good Times total revenues) for the same prior year period.

Gain on Sale of Assets
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our gain on the sale of restaurant assets was $6,000.
 
Gain or Loss from Operations
 
We had a consolidated loss from operations of ($363,000) in the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a consolidated loss from operations of ($86,000) for the same prior year period.
 
Our Good Times concept had a loss from operations of ($96,000) in the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared to income from operations of $110,000 in the same prior year period.
 
The decrease in income from operations for the Good Times concept for the three month period is due primarily to the matters discussed in the "Restaurant Operating Costs", "General and Administrative Costs", “Preopening costs” and “Franchise Costs” sections of Item 2 above.
 
Our Bad Daddy’s concept had a loss from operations of ($267,000) in the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared to a loss from operations of ($196,000) in the same prior year period. The losses were due to matters discussed in the "Restaurant Operating Costs" and "General and Administrative Costs" and “Preopening costs” sections of Item 2 above.
 
Affiliate Investment Income (Loss)
 
The net loss or income from affiliate investment activities consists of the Company’s share of net income or loss of its affiliates as they occur. The Company’s net investment income for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 was $1,000 compared to a loss of ($72,000) in the same prior year period. The income and loss from investment activities is related to our 48% ownership in the Bad Daddy’s Franchise Development, LLC. The prior year loss was primarily a result of initial costs of developing the Bad Daddy’s franchise program.
 
Net Income or Loss
 
The net loss was ($361,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of ($159,000) for the same prior year period.
 
The change from the three month period ended December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to the change in our loss from operations for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014, offset by a decrease in our affiliate investment loss.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Working Capital: As of December 31, 2014, we had a working capital excess of $9,442,000. Because restaurant sales are collected in cash and accounts payable for food and paper products are paid two to four weeks later, restaurant companies often operate with working capital deficits. We anticipate that decreases in our working capital may occur in the future if and when new Good Times or Bad Daddy’s restaurants are opened.  We believe that we will have sufficient capital to meet our working capital, long term debt obligations and recurring capital expenditure needs in fiscal 2015 and beyond.
 
Financing:
 
Public Offering: On August 21, 2013 we completed a public offering of 2,200,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock (“A Warrants”) and additional warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our common stock (“B Warrants”) with a per unit purchase price of $2.50. One share of common stock was sold together with one A Warrant, with each A Warrant being exercisable on or before August 16, 2018 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, and together with one B Warrant, with two B Warrants being exercisable on or before May 16, 2014 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Additionally we issued 330,000 A warrants to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock and 330,000 B warrants to purchase 165,000 of common stock to the underwriters in connection with the public offering with the same terms as the A and B warrants sold in the offering. Also in connection with the public offering we issued 154,000 representative warrants to purchase 154,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $3.125 to the underwriters. The representative warrants were exercisable beginning May 16, 2014 and expire on August 16, 2016. As of December 31, 2014 we had received $9,797,000 in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants, there were no longer any warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014.
 
We intend to use the net proceeds for the remodeling and reimaging of existing Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard restaurants; for the development of new Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants through BD of Colorado LLC; as working capital reserves and for future investment at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $1,139,000 which reflects $375,000 paid to BDFD for our affiliate investment and $768,000 in purchases of property and equipment.

Contingencies
 
We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees.  We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sublessor of the lease.  Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default under which we are contingently liable, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future, which could have a material effect on our future operating results.
 
Impact of Inflation
 
The total menu price increases taken during fiscal 2014 were 4.4%, we took an additional 1% menu price increase in October 2014 and a 1.6% increase in January 2015. We experienced unprecedented cost increases in beef and bacon from January to September 2014, with beef and bacon prices increasing approximately 38% and 29%, respectively.  We have experienced some moderation in commodity costs at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2015. We anticipate continued cost pressure on several core commodities, including beef, and expect our food and packaging costs as a percentage of sales to be higher in fiscal 2015 than in fiscal 2014.
