NEW YORK BAGEL ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) OPERATIONS
The Company owns and franchises New York Bagel and Lots A' Bagels
restaurants that provide a wide variety of bagels that are made from
scratch, boiled and baked in the traditional "New York style."
Breakfast menu items include a wide variety of bagels and custom-
blended cream cheeses, gourmet coffees, muffins and croissants. Lunch
and dinner items include an assortment of bagel delicatessen
sandwiches, prepared salads, cookies and soft drinks. As of June 30,
1999, the Company has 25 Company-owned restaurants primarily located in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Texas and Tennessee and 17 franchised
restaurants located throughout the United States.
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are for
interim periods and consequently do not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial statements. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1998
Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 29, 1998. In the opinion of
management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which were of a
normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the interim periods. The results of the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
(3) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND STORE CLOSURES
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used (including associated
goodwill) is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to estimated future net cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest charges) expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized
is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
to sell.
For purposes of determining impairment, the Company groups long-lived
assets to be held and used at a market level due to the bakery-
satellite relationship which, in management's estimation, results in
the market level as the lowest level for which there are cash flows
that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of
assets.
During the twenty six weeks ended June 30, 1999, there were no
impairment charges or store closure charges incurred, however, the
Company successfully negotiated out of several long term lease
obligations and was able to reduce the reserves by $280,000; thus
showing a derived income for the quarter.
The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Western
Country Clubs, Inc. ("Western") whereby the Company will contribute
certain restaurant equipment and leasehold improvements of up to seven
of its restaurant locations and cash in certain instances to the joint
venture. The investment in the joint venture is being accounted for on
the "Equity Method". Western will contribute cash (up to a stipulated
amount per restaurant) to convert such restaurant locations to the new
"Atomic Burrito" concept. The Company has a 38% and 40%, respectively,
ownership interest in the joint venture entities concerning Tulsa,
Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas. Western will oversee the restaurant
conversion, the day-to-day operations and accounting matters of the
Atomic Burrito restaurants. Furthermore, Western can elect to convert
only five restaurants, instead of the aforementioned seven, by payment
of a nominal amount to the Company. The joint venture agreement also
calls for the opening of one Atomic Burrito restaurant in a location for
which the Company currently holds an option to lease. As of June 30, 1999
there was one cobranded New York Bagel and Atomic Burrito restaurant
located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one Atomic Burrito restaurant located in
Wichita, Kansas, both of which were converted from New York Bagel
restaurants. The restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma opened in late March 1999
and the net loss attributed to the Company's 38% ownership interest in the
restaurant for the twenty-six week period is $10,944. The restaurant in
Wichita, Kansas opened in late April and the net loss attributed to the
Company's 40% ownership interest in the restaurant for the twenty-six week
period is $4,671.
(4) NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE (Statement 128) which replaces the prior accounting
standard regarding computation and presentation of earnings per share.
Statement 128 requires a dual presentation of basic earnings per share
(based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding) and
diluted earnings per share which reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if contracts to issue securities (such as stock options)
were exercised. The Company adopted Statement 128 as of December 28,
1997 and, accordingly, earnings per share data for all periods
presented has been computed in accordance with Statement 128. For all
periods presented, there are no differences between net earnings (loss)
and outstanding shares utilized in the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share.
Options to purchase common stock were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the options' exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares
during such period so the effect would not be dilutive. As of June 30,
1999, there were 191,000 options outstanding at a weighted average
exercise price of $1.00, which may become dilutive in the future.

OVERVIEW
The Company's revenues are derived from sales from Company-owned
restaurants and franchise revenues, which consist of royalties from
franchised restaurant sales as well as franchise and development fees.
Franchise and development fees are initially recorded as deferred
revenue until each franchised restaurant opens, at which time these
fees are recorded as revenue.
Costs of sales include food, paper and beverage costs associated with
Company-owned restaurants. Restaurant operating expenses consist
primarily of labor costs, rent, advertising, utilities, maintenance and
insurance associated with Company-owned restaurants. General and
administrative expenses include corporate and administrative salaries,
accounting, legal and direct costs associated with franchise
operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of certain
operating statement data to total revenues, except as otherwise indicated:

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998
Total revenues decreased by $1.5 million, or 28.7%, to $3.6 million for
the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.1 million for the period ended
June 28, 1998, primarily due to the decrease in the number of operating stores
in operations.
Sales from Company-owned restaurants decreased $1.4 million, or 28.5%, to
$3.7 million for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.1 million for
the period ended June 28, 1998. The Company experienced a 5.2% decline in same
store sales during the second quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in
1998. The decline in same store sales is primarily attributed to the
following: (i) increased competition, (ii) increased development within
certain markets, and (iii) the maturation of the bagel industry. The Company
is focusing on operational issues and new product offerings. At June 30,
1999 the Company had 25 Company-owned restaurants compared to 45 restaurants
at June 28, 1998.
Franchise revenues and royalties decreased by $16,400, or 96.7%, to $600
for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $17,000 for the period ended
June 28, 1998. The overall decrease is due to the discontinuance of royalty
revenue recognition on certain franchise restaurants due to collectibility
concerns and no new franchises have been introduced since 1997. As a result
of the above activity, management expects franchise revenues to continue to
decline. There were 17 franchised restaurants as of June 30, 1999 as
compared to 32 restaurants at June 28, 1998.
Cost of sales decreased by $500,000, or 30.5%, to $1.2 million for the
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.7 million for the period ended June
28, 1998. As a percentage of Company-owned restaurant sales, cost of sales
decreased to at 33.7% for the period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 34.7%
for the period ended June 28, 1998, primarily due to the decrease in
operating stores and a concentrated effort to control cost.
Restaurant operating expenses decreased by $700,000, or 23.8%, to $2.2
million for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $2.9 million for the
period ended June 28, 1998. Such decrease is primarily due to the Company
closing under-performing restaurants. As a percentage of Company-owned
restaurant sales, restaurant operating expenses increased to 59.7% for the
period ended June 30, 1999 from 56.0% for the period ended June 28, 1998.
This increase is primarily as a result of the additional rent expense related
to the sale leaseback transactions that occurred during 1998 and 1999.
General and administrative expenses decreased $77,500 or 22.3%, to
$269,500 for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $347,000 for the
period ended June 28, 1998 primarily as a reduction in management staff.
The Company repositioned middle management area restaurant managers into
the restaurants during the third quarter of 1998.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $64,000, or 25.9%, to $183,000
for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $247,000 for the period ended
June 28, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and
amortization increased to 5.0% for the period ended June 30, 1999 from 4.8%
for the period ended June 28, 1998. This increase is directly attributable
to the reduction of sales due to the closing of certain restaurants.
In the period ended June 28, 1998, the Company closed or recorded
impairment losses on four stores in the amount of $1.1 million dollars. For
the period ended June 30, 1999, the Company successfully negotiated out of
several long term leases that had resulted in a reserve previously being set
up. The amount of these reductions was $280,000. The Company continues to
try to negotiate all of the remaining long term leases on closed locations
but there is no certainty that any additional savings can be recognized in
the future.
The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Western
Country Clubs, Inc. ("Western") whereby the Company will contribute certain
restaurant equipment and leasehold improvements of up to seven of its
restaurant locations and cash in certain instances to the joint venture.
The investment in the joint venture is being accounted for on the "Equity
Method". Western will contribute cash (up to a stipulated amount per
restaurant) to convert such restaurant locations to the new "Atomic Burrito"
concept. The Company has a 38% and a 40%, respectively, ownership interest in
the joint venture entities concerning Tulsa, Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas.
Western will oversee the restaurant conversion, the day-to-day operations and
accounting matters of the Atomic Burrito restaurants. Furthermore, Western
can elect to convert only five restaurants, instead of the aforementioned seven,
by payment of a nominal amount to the Company. The joint venture agreement
also calls for the opening of one Atomic Burrito restaurant in a location for
which the Company currently holds an option to lease. As of June 30, 1999
there was one co-branded New York Bagel and Atomic Burrito restaurant located
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one Atomic Burrito restaurant located in Wichita,
Kansas, both of which were converted from New York Bagel restaurants.
The restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma opened in late March 1999 and the net loss
attributed to the Company's 38% ownership interest in the restaurant for the
twenty-six week period is $10,944. The restaurant in Wichita, Kansas opened
in late April and the net loss attributed to the Company's 40% ownership
interest in the restaurant for the twenty-six week period is $4,671.
Net interest expense increased by $10,000, or 27.6%, to $45,000 for the
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to net interest expense of $35,000 for
the period ended June 28, 1998. The increase in interest expense is due to
the borrowings from certain shareholders that was completed in January of
this year and the increased interest rate on the existing loans.
TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
COMPARED TO TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998
Total revenues decreased by $2.3 million, or 23.7%, to $7.6 million for
the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $9.9 million for the period
ended June 28, 1998, primarily due to a decrease in the number of operating
stores in operations.
Sales from Company-owned restaurants decreased $2.3 million, or 23.1%, to
$7.6 million for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $9.9 million for
the period ended June 28, 1998. The Company experienced a 5.5% decline in
same store sales during the first twenty six weeks of 1999 compared to the
same period in 1998. The decline in same store sales is primarily attributed
to the following: (i) increased competition, (ii) increased development
within certain markets, and (iii) the maturation of the bagel industry. The
Company is focusing on operational issues and new product offerings. At June
30, 1999 the Company had 25 Company-owned restaurants compared to 45
restaurants at June 28, 1998.
Franchise revenues and royalties decreased by $81,000, or 83.6%, to
$16,000 for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $97,000 for the period
ended June 28, 1998. The overall decrease is due to the discontinuance of
royalty revenue recognition on certain franchise restaurants due to
collectibility concerns and no new franchises have been introduced since 1997.
As a result of the above activity, management expects franchise revenues to
continue to decline. There were 17 franchised restaurants as of June 30, 1999
as compared to 32 restaurants at June 28, 1998.
Cost of sales decreased by $800,000, or 23.1%, to $2.64 million for the
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $3.4 million for the period ended June
28, 1998. As a percentage of Company-owned restaurant sales, cost of sales
remained constant at 34.4% for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
same period ended June 28, 1998.
Restaurant operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 19.0%, to
$4.5 million for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.5 million
for the period ended June 28, 1998. Such decrease is primarily due to the
Company closing under-performing restaurants. As a percentage of
Company-owned restaurant sales, restaurant operating expenses increased to
58.9% for the period ended June 30, 1999 from 55.9% for the period ended
June 28, 1998. This increase is primarily as a result of the additional rent
expense related to the sale leaseback transactions that occurred during 1998
and 1999.
General and administrative expenses decreased $189,000 or 25.6%, to
$548,000 for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $737,000 for the
period ended June 28, 1998 primarily as a reduction in management staff.
The Company repositioned middle management area restaurant managers into
the restaurants during the third quarter of 1998.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $132,000, or 26.4%, to $368,000
for the period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $500,000 for the period ended
June 28, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and
amortization decreased to 4.8% for the period ended June 30, 1999 from 5.0%
for the period ended June 28, 1998. This decrease is primarily the result of
the closing of certain restaurants, the impairing of other restaurants, and
the recognition of the sale-leaseback transactions that occurred during 1998.
In the period ended June 28, 1998, the Company closed or recorded
impairment losses on four stores in the amount of $1.1 million dollars. For
the period ended June 30, 1999, the Company successfully negotiated out of
several long term leases that had resulted in a reserve previously being set
up. The amount of these reductions was $280,000. The Company continues to
try to negotiate all of the remaining long term leases on closed locations
but there is no certainty that any additional savings can be recognized in
the future.
The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Western
Country Clubs, Inc. ("Western") whereby the Company will contribute certain
restaurant equipment and leasehold improvements of up to seven of its
restaurant locations and cash in certain instances to the joint venture.
The investment in the joint venture is being accounted for on the "Equity
Method". Western will contribute cash (up to a stipulated amount per
restaurant) to convert such restaurant locations to the new "Atomic Burrito"
concept. The Company has a 38% and a 40%, respectively, ownership interest in
the joint venture entities concerning Tulsa, Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas.
Western will oversee the restaurant conversion, the day-to-day operations and
accounting matters of the Atomic Burrito restaurants. Furthermore, Western can
elect to convert only five restaurants, instead of the aforementioned seven,
by payment of a nominal amount to the Company. The joint venture agreement
also calls for the opening of one Atomic Burrito restaurant in a location for
which the Company currently holds an option to lease. As of June 30, 1999 there
was one co-branded New York Bagel and Atomic Burrito restaurant located in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one Atomic Burrito restaurant located in Wichita, Kansas,
both of which are being converted from New York Bagel restaurants. The
restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma opened in late March 1999 and the net loss
attributed to the Company's 38% ownership interest in the restaurant for the
twenty-six week period is $10,944. The restaurant in Wichita, Kansas opened
in late April and the net loss attributed to the Company's 40% ownership
interest in the restaurant for the twenty-six week period is $4,671.
Net interest expense increased by $13,000, or 18.3%, to $84,000 for the
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to net interest expense of $71,000 for
the period ended June 28, 1998. The increase in interest expense is due to
the borrowings from certain shareholders that was completed in January of
this year and the increased interest rate on the existing loans.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires capital primarily for the development of new
restaurants, maintenance of existing Company-owned restaurants and the
participation as a joint venture partner in certain Atomic Burrito
restaurants. Capital expenditures totaled $99,000 and $1.6 million for the
twenty six week periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 28, 1998, respectively.
The Company has funded its capital expenditures with proceeds from its Credit
Facility and sale-leaseback transactions discussed below and cash flows from
operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities were $(383,000)
and $625,000 for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 28, 1998,
respectively.
Based on its contemplated limited expansion plans, the Company estimates
that its capital expenditures will be less than $50,000 during the remainder
of 1999. The Company expects that proceeds from its Credit Facility,
sale-leaseback transactions and cash provided by operating activities will
provide sufficient funds to finance its capital expenditures through 1999.
The Company has incurred operating losses. While the Company is taking
corrective measures, there is no assurance that future operating losses will
not be incurred and that the Company might have to seek additional financing.
Such additional financing is not committed at this time. The Company
anticipates the need to raise additional funds through the private sale of
either equity or debt securities even though no such funds are committed.
CREDIT FACILITY. As previously disclosed in the Company's 1998 Form
10-KSB, the Company has a loan agreement with a revolving line of credit
and term loan facilities (the "Credit Facility") with NationsBank, N.A.
(the "Bank"). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets. During August 1998 the Company refinanced the Credit
Facility for an additional year, which now matures on September 1, 1999.
The note is amortized over approximately a seven year period requiring
monthly payments of principal and interest of $26,000. As of June 30,
1999, the Company had $1.7 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant
to the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 1999 the Company was not in
compliance with certain restrictive covenants contained in the Credit
Facility which require specified financial ratios. However, the Company
does not believe such noncompliance will adversely impact liquidity
although there is no assurance of such. The Company is current on all
payments due under the Credit Facility.
SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTION. During January 1999, the Company entered into
an agreement to sell and leaseback a restaurant site with an entity owned by
a then officer of the Company and a significant stockholder, both of whom are
Directors. The sale-leaseback transaction included an owned restaurant
location in which the Company sold such property to such entity for
approximately $180,000 and leased back over a 15-year period. The lease is
accounted for as an operating lease. As a result of the sale leaseback
transaction, the Company incurred a loss of $89,000 which has been deferred
for financial reporting purposes and is included within leasehold
improvements and is being amortized over the term of the lease. The Company
believes that the terms and conditions of both the real estate sale and the
related lease back were fair and reasonable and were on terms at least as
favorable as would be available from non-affiliated parties. The Company
utilized the proceeds to fund operations.
In June 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to sell and leaseback
a home used by the Company's local baker with an entity owned by two of the
officers of the Company and a significant stockholder. The Company sold such
property to such entity for approximately $36,000 and leased it back over a
5-year period. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. The Company
believes that the terms and conditions of both the real estate sale and the
related lease back were fair and reasonable and were on terms at least as
favorable as would be available from non-affiliated parties. The Company
utilized the proceeds to fund operations.
STOCKHOLDER LOANS. During January 1999, the Company borrowed $200,000
in total from four stockholders. Each note is in the principal amount of
$50,000 and bears interest at 12.75% per annum which is paid quarterly
beginning March 31, 1999. The notes are due on December 31, 1999 with
accrued interest. The notes are not secured.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM. During January 1998, the Company's Board of
Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Purchases pursuant
to the Stock Repurchase Program are to be made from time to time in the open
market or directly from stockholders at prevailing market prices. The Stock
Repurchase Program is anticipated to be funded with internally generated cash
and borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
had purchased 10,400 shares of Common Stock for $17,974. The Company
anticipates limited purchases, if any, pursuant to the Stock Repurchase
Program during fiscal 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION. Total assets at June 30, 1999 are $7.1 million as
compared to $8.0 million as of December 27, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents
have decreased by approximately $352,000 primarily due to minimal capital
expenditures and the one time payments to be released from leases on closed
restaurant locations. Property and equipment reflects an approximate $600,000
decrease due to the sale leaseback of a previously owned restaurant and the
transfer of assets to the joint venture with Atomic Burrito. Current
liabilities have decreased approximately $450,000 primarily as a result of
the Company's ability to successfully negotiate out of certain long term
leases for stores that had previously been closed; as well as the reduction
in accrued payroll liabilities as additional restaurants have closed during
the period ending June 30, 1999. Stockholders' equity has decreased $217,000
due to the net loss for the twenty six week period ended June 30, 1999.
POTENTIAL MERGER TRANSACTION
The Company has entered into a letter of intent, which was publicly
announced on May 10, 1999, whereby the Company will be acquired by Western.
However, it is anticipated that many of the terms of the letter of intent
will be modified as a result of further discussion between the Company and
Western. It is presently anticipated that the proposed acquisition will be
structured as a merger whereby the Company will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Western. The Company and Western are in the process of
negotiating the structure of the proposed merger, and the consummation of
the merger is subject to many contingencies, including, without limitation,
negotiation and execution of a definitive merger agreement, approval of the
respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Western, approval of the
respective stockholders of the Company and Western, and completion of due
diligence. There can be no assurance that the proposed acquisition will be
consummated.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company's Year 2000 issues involve (i) its restaurant point of sale
function, (ii) its outsourced payroll function, (iii) its financial/management
reporting function and (iv) its vendors.
The Company believes its point of sale equipment is Year 2000 compliant
and has been informed by the software and hardware provider that Year 2000
compliant software will be available to the Company during 1999. Also, the
Company believes that it has sufficient manual back-up procedures that the
Company could rely upon to continue operations, if required to do so. The
Company has been informed by the provider of its outsourced payroll services
that such services are Year 2000 compliant. The Company previously utilized
data processing services from an entity controlled by a director of the
Company in connection with the Company's financial/management reporting
function. The Company has installed its own data processing capabilities
during 1999. Any remaining costs of becoming Year 2000 compliant are not
expected to be material.
The Company purchases products and services from various vendors. If the
Company is not able to acquire such products and services due to any vendor's
inability to address the Year 2000 issue, the Company could incur a
disruptive effect on its business. However, the key providers of such
products and services are generally large and sophisticated entities, and the
Company does not expect to incur a material disruption to its business from
the Year 2000 issue. In November 1998, the Company circulated a
questionnaire to its large vendors to determine their status regarding
addressing the Year 2000 issue. The vendors that have responded to the
questionaire have indicated that they have addressed the issue or will do so
timely.
