PREFERRED RESTAURANT BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(FORMERLY DIXIE FOODS INTERNATIONAL, INC.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

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

On June 4, 2014, the Company completed the purchase (the “Reverse Acquisition”) of KCI Investments, LLC (“KCI”), a Nevada limited liability company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. In connection with the Reverse Acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of KCI from KCI Holding I, LLC ("KCI Holding"), and an entity that, until the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, held 100% of the membership interests in KCI. Currently, all of the operations of the Company are conducted under KCI or one of KCI's subsidiaries.

KCI was formed on November 8, 2004, but did not engage in any business operations until November 2010. Currently, KCI is engaged in developing, owning and operating a multi-brand chain of restaurants, currently under two franchise brands: Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops and Papa John’s. KCI also operates and is developing various other restaurant concepts. KCI and its various subsidiaries, currently operate 17 restaurants:

·	9 franchised Capriotti's Sandwich Shops:

·	six franchised Papa John’s pizza restaurants (four of which it opened in late calendar 2014 and two of which it acquired in February 2014, and

·	two proprietary, fine casual restaurants: Elements Kitchen & Martini Bar and Social Bistro & Wine Bar.

Additionally, the Company has in various stages of development and construction eight Papa John’s all of which it anticipates opening over the next 12 months subject to access to additional capital.

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficit of $14,894,867 and an accumulated deficit of $33,377,404. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to: identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing and generate profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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

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

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Condensed Financial Statements

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

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's August 31, 2014 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Accounts Receivable

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

Inventory

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Income Taxes

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

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

At the adoption date of November 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There were 5,448,276 such shares outstanding as of May 31, 2015, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 4—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

As of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 the Company’s property and equipment consisted of the following:

NOTE 10—DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815 which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The exercise price of certain warrants granted during the period ended February 15, 2015 are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise. As a result, the Company has determined that the exercise feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the exercise feature of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.

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

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

	February 28 2015

Risk-free interest rate		0.25% – 1.52	%
Expected options life		0.21 – 4.65
Expected dividend yield		-
Expected price volatility		185% – 407	%

During the period ended May 31, 2015, the Company’s derivative liability increased from $0 to $1,067,472 in conjunction with settlement of convertible notes payable, additions of new derivative liabilities and subsequent revaluations of existing derivative liabilities.

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company's derivative liability decreased from $604,553 to $0 and recognized a gain on derivative liability of $604,553 in conjunction with settlement of convertible notes payable, additions of new derivative liabilitites and subsequent revaluations of existing derivative liabilities.

In all cases noted above, each Class B membership unit was sold for $500,000, plus for administrative costs payable to third parties. Each unit carries equal voting rights to the Class A membership units of each subsidiary. Each Class B unit is entitled to receive distributions equal to 0.5 percent to 3.0% of the value of the units held each year.

Adjudication and Redemption of Class B Membership Units

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

Denial of I-526 Petition

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

During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, Company subsidiaries issued 5 Class B membership units in exchange for total cash proceeds of $2,500,000 (not inclusive of $300,000 received for administrative fees due and payable to third parties).

The derivative was recorded at its fair value of $5,975 with the remaining proceeds of $1,000,000 being allocated between the preferred stock and host debt instrument based upon their relative fair values.

Results of Operations

Three months ended May 31, 2015 vs. May 31, 2014

Income from Restaurant Operations

Largely resulting from Revenue growth and Management’s continues to focus on tightening cost controls and selling higher margin item, the Company recognized Income from restaurant operations of $225,780 Q3-15 compared with a net loss from restaurant operations of $32,656 during Q3-14.

Revenue

During the three months ended May 31, 2015 (“Q3-15”), the Company reported Revenues of $2,185,433, up 18.1% from Revenues of $1,851,020 during the three months ended May 31, 2014 (“Q3-14”) and up 12.7% from Revenues of $1,939,412 in Q2-15, This growth resulted mainly from the impact of the PJ's Additions and two additional Capriotti's opened in 1st9-15 - more than offsetting: (i) the loss of Revenues from the four Capriotti's locations not operating during the Q3-15 but operating during the Q3-14 and (ii) lower same store sales ("SSS") growth. With regard to lower SSS, note that in the Q3-14 period, the Company utilized Groupon and other promotional efforts to gain brand awareness. These programs did generate additional sales; however, they were not profitable. Thus, the Company did not repeat these programs during Q3-15.

Food, Beverage and Packaging

Food, beverage and packaging expenses decreased to $689,944 (31.6% of Revenues) in Q3-15 from $960,394 (51.9% of Revenues) in Q3-14. This improvement, in absolute dollars and as a percentage of Revenues resulted from Management’s continued to focus on tightening cost controls and selling higher margin items.

Labor and Related

Labor and related expenses increased to $829,004 (37.9% of Revenues) in Q3-15, up from $514,259 (27.8% of Revenues) in Q3-14, largely because of the impact of labor for new locations, which must maintain minimum staffing levels during their ramp-up period, as well overall management for the Papa John’s brand. Note though that Labor and related expenses were improved from Q2-15 levels (38.8% of Revenues) due to significant reductions in payroll at the Company’s Capriotti’s locations and post-grand opening stabilization of the labor at the Company’s Papa John’s locations

Occupancy

Occupancy expenses decreased to $169,607 (7.8% of Revenues) in Q3-15, from $164,579 (8.9% of Revenues) in Q3-14, due largely to the improving performances of operating locations (all of which had high occupancy costs relative to Revenues).

Other Restaurant Expenses

Other restaurant expenses increased to $271,098 (12.4% of Revenues) in Q3-15, from $179,132 (9.7% of Revenues) in Q3-14, resulting largely from fixed costs associated with the Papa John’s locations.

General and Administrative,

The Company recorded general and administrative expenses of $2,401,136 in Q3-15 compared to $131,088 in Q3-14,. The increase from resulted largely from: (i) nonrecurring and/or noncash expenses related to fees paid in equity for professional services rendered; and (ii) the value of the vesting of options previously granted.

Depreciation

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $135,416 in Q3-15, from $239,112 in Q3-14, due to the impact on depreciation from write offs related to locations closed more than offsetting new depreciation related to new and pending restaurant openings.

Pre-opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses equaled $35,573 in Q3-15, up from $8,512 in Q3-14, but down significantly from prior quarters of fiscal 2015 as the Company did not open any new locations other than its Social Bistro in April and, thus, didn’t incur significant Pre-opening Expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Total other expenses were $143,600 in Q3-15, compared to other expense of $80,679 in Q3-14, as Interest Expenses of $874,664 were partially offset by $688,197 of Derivative Gains.

Net Loss

Revenue

During the nine months ended May 31, 2015 (“1st9-15”), the Company reported Revenues of $6,110,079, up 36.7% from Revenues of $4,468,839 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 (“1st9-14). This growth resulted mainly from the impact of the six additional Papa John's locations opened and acquired between October 2014 and February 2015 and two additional Capriotti's open during all of 1st9-15 but only partially during 1st9-14 - more than offsetting: (i) the loss of Revenues from the four Capriotti's locations not operating during the 1st9-15 but operating during the 1st9-14 and (ii) lower Same Store Sales growth ("SSS": growth of Revenues for restaurants open during the comparable periods). With regard to lower same store sales, note that in the 1st9-14 period, the Company utilized Groupon and other promotional efforts to gain brand awareness. These programs did generate additional sales; however, they were not profitable. Thus, the Company did not repeat these programs during the 1st9-15.

Food, Beverage and Packaging

Food, beverage and packaging expenses increased to $2,238,728 (36.5% of Revenues) in 1st9-15, up from $1,915,101 (42.9% of Revenues) in 1st9-14. While the total increased, it decreased as a percentage of Revenues as Management continues to focus on tightening cost controls and selling higher margin items.

Labor and Related

Occupancy

Occupancy expenses increased to $964,921 (15.8% of Revenues) in 1st9-15, up from $461,053 (10.3% of Revenues) in 1st9-14, also largely because of the burden of fixed rent and related overhead related to the new locations.

Other Restaurant Expenses

Other restaurant expenses increased to $1,435,933 (23.5% of Revenues) in 1st9-15, up from $710,601 (15.9% of Revenues) in 1st9-14, resulting largely from: significantly increased depreciation expenses and from largely nonrecurring marketing expenses related to the new locations.

Net Loss from Restaurant Operations

As a result, the Company incurred a Net loss from restaurant operations of $757,324 during the nine months ended May 31, 2015 compared to income from restaurant operations of $177,925 during the nine months ended May 31, 2014.

General and Administrative

The Company recorded general and administrative expenses of $7,022,470 in 1st9-15 compared to $1,193,936 in 1st9-14, resulting largely from: (i) nonrecurring and/or noncash expenses related to fees paid in equity for professional services rendered; and (ii) the value of the vesting of options previously granted.

Depreciation

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $341,435 in 1st9-15, down from $359,079 in 1st9-14, due to the impact on depreciation from write offs related to locations closed more than offsetting new depreciation related to new and pending restaurant openings.

Pre-opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses increased to $508,977 in 1st9-15, up from $318,072 in 1st9-14 as a result of new restaurant openings.

Other Income and Expense

Total other income and expenses were $4,283,231 in 1st9-15, up from $84,981 in 1st9-14, due to an increase in interest expenses stemming from: (i) increases in interest bearing notes to fund operations and (ii) significant noncash charges related to the value of warrants and equity granted in connection with loans and extensions and modifications thereto. This increase was offset in part by a gain on changes in derivative liabilities of $1,496,437.

Net Loss

As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $12,913,437 during the nine months ended May 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $1,878,143 during the nine months ended May 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company's working capital deficit increased $6,518,801 to $14,894,867, from a deficit of $8,376,066 at August 31, 2014. The primary reasons for the increase in the working capital deficit were: (i) increased short term debt and payables resulting from delays in receiving subscribed financings and the cost of opening new locations, and (ii) the recognition of derivative liabilities related to certain equity issuances.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,129,673 during the nine months ended May 31, 2015, largely due to the reported net loss of $12,913,437, which was partially offset by various noncash items including: Depreciation and amortization; Loss on sale of assets; Amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; Change in derivative liability, Stock issued in connection with execution of notes payable, Vesting of stock options granted and Common stock issued for services. During this period, net cash used in investing activities was $1,479,563, mostly related to the construction and acquisition of new restaurants, offset by the sale of one store for cash. Cash used in operating and investing activities was offset by $4,619,444 in Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities, which included approximately $2.1 million net proceeds from new debt (after debt repayments) and $2.5million of proceeds from the sale of Class B membership units in the Company’s EB-5-financed subsidiaries.

Recent Acquisitions

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Going Concern

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

The company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
