FURR'S/BISHOP'S, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Furr's/Bishop's, Incorporated (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation,
operates cafeterias and a buffet restaurant through its subsidiary Cafeteria
Operators, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its
subsidiaries, the "Partnership"). The financial statements presented herein
are the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Furr's/Bishop's, Incorporated and its majority owned subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
accounts of the Company after elimination of all material intercompany and
interpartnership accounts and transactions, and in the opinion of management
include all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation. Certain expenditures benefitting more than one period are
charged to operations on a percentage of sales or on a pro rata basis over the
52-53 week fiscal year. Certain amounts have been reclassified in the
statements of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 1996 to
conform to the classifications used in the financial statements for the period
ended September 30, 1997.
The results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30,
1997 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 30, 1997.
NOTE B: Income Tax
During the thirty-nine week period ended September 30, 1997, the Company
had a net loss for income tax purposes. The resulting tax benefit from the net
operating loss has been offset by an increase in the tax valuation allowance.
NOTE C: Special Charges
The loss from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 includes
special charges of $7,560. The results of operations included a charge of
$4,800 for the liability for the indemnification of litigation settlement costs
and reasonable expenses related to a suit filed by Michael J. Levenson. Also
included is $1,563 for the write down of assets and adjustments to closed store
reserves of units previously closed and for two units to be closed, and $1,197
to recognize the write down of certain assets.
Page 9
<PAGE>
For the quarter ended April 1, 1997, the Company recognized net special
charges of $2,431, including a charge of $1,888 for the writedown of assets and
adjustments to closed store reserves, a charge of $1,835 to recognize the write
down of certain assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, No.121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets"
("SFAS121"), and a credit of $1,292 related to the settlement of a lawsuit
previously filed against the Company by the Internal Revenue Service.
The income from operations for the quarter ended October 1, 1996 includes
net special credits of $535, including a credit of $709 for the proceeds
received from the sale of certain trademarks and the termination of a trademark
royalty agreement and the modification and extension of a lease related to the
Company's former El Paso Bar-B-Que restaurants and a charge of $174 related to
the former President and Chief Executive Officer and the search for a
replacement.
For the quarter ended July 2, 1996, the Company recognized net special
credits of $603, including $699 for the insurance proceeds received related to
a fire loss incurred in 1994 and a charge of $96 related to a consulting
agreement with the former President and Chief Executive Officer.
NOTE D: Commitments and Contingencies
In July 1997, the Company reached a settlement of the litigation filed by
Michael J. Levenson, the former Chairman of the Board, and others. The
settlement involved a payment by the Company to the plaintiffs of a net amount
of approximately $275. All settling defendants, including the Company and its
subsidiaries, received mutual releases with respect to all matters alleged in
the litigation. The Company is required to indemnify certain of the defendants
originally named in the litigation for certain settlement costs and reasonable
expenses they incurred in connection with the litigation, and estimates the
total cost of such indemnification will be $4,800.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thirteen Weeks Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
October 1, 1996
Results of operations. Sales for the third fiscal quarter of 1997 were
$49.4 million, a decrease of $577 thousand from the same quarter of 1996.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 1997 was $6.1 million compared to
operating income of $2.3 million in the comparable period in the prior year.
The operating results of the third quarter of 1997 included net special charges
of $7.6 million while the same period of the prior year included net special
credits of $535 thousand. The net loss for the third quarter of 1997 was $6.2
million compared to net income of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 1996.
Sales. Restaurant sales in comparable units were 1.43% higher in the third
quarter of 1997 than the same quarter of 1996. Sales for the third fiscal
quarter were $1.3 million lower than the same period of the prior year due to
there being a net of three fewer units included in operating results. Sales by
Page 10
<PAGE>
Dynamic Foods to third parties was $550 thousand lower in the third quarter of
1997 than the third quarter of the prior year.
Cost of sales. Excluding depreciation, cost of sales was 30.1% of sales
for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to 31.6% for the same quarter of
1996. The decrease in the percentage of sales was the result of changes in
pricing, menu mix and lower product costs.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expense was higher in the aggregate by $305 thousand in the third
quarter of 1997 as compared to 1996 due to increases in some expense categories
being partially offset by there being fewer units included in the operating
results. The change in SG&A expense included an increase of $398 thousand in
marketing expense, and decreases of $224 thousand in hourly wages and $193
thousand in utility expenses.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was
higher by $304 thousand in the third quarter of 1997 due primarily to higher
depreciation on newly acquired property, plant and equipment, along with the
use of shorter depreciation periods.
Special Charges. The loss from operations for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 includes special charges of $7.6 million. The results of operations
included a charge of $4.8 million for the liability for the indemnification of
litigation settlement costs and reasonable expenses related to a suit filed by
Michael J. Levenson. Also included is $1.6 million for the write down of
assets and adjustments to closed store reserves of units previously closed and
for two units to be closed, and $1.2 million to recognize the write down of
certain assets. The results of operations for the third quarter of the prior
year includes net special credits of $603 thousand, including $699 thousand for
insurance proceeds related to a fire loss and a charge of $96 thousand related
to a consulting agreement with the former President and Chief Executive
Officer.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $78 thousand in the third quarter
of 1997, which was slightly higher than the comparable period in the prior
year. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15,
the restructured debt was recorded at the sum of all future principal and
interest payments and there is no recognition of interest expense thereon.
Thirty-nine Weeks Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Thirty-nine Weeks ended
October 1, 1996
Results of operations. Sales for the first thirty-nine weeks ended
September 30, 1997 were $146.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million from the
same period of 1996. The operating loss for the thirty-nine week period of
1997 was $6.3 million compared to income of $7.7 million in the comparable
period in the prior year. The operating results of the thirty-nine week period
of 1997 included special charges of $10.0 million while the prior year
included net special credits of $1.1 million . The net loss for the period in
1997 was $6.5 million compared to income of $7.5 million in the same period of
1996. During the first quarter of 1997, sales were negatively impacted by
severe winter weather and by including fewer units in the operating results.
Page 11
<PAGE>
Sales. Restaurant sales in comparable units were 0.1% higher in the
thirty-nine weeks of 1997 than the same period of 1996. Sales for the period
were $780 thousand lower than the prior year due to there being a net of three
fewer units included in operating results. Sales by Dynamic Foods to third
parties were $1.7 million lower in the first thirty-nine weeks of 1997 than the
prior year.
Cost of sales. Excluding depreciation, cost of sales was 30.2% of sales
for the first thirty-nine weeks of 1997 as compared to 31.2% for the same
period of 1996. The decrease in the percentage of sales was the result of
changes in pricing, menu mix and lower product costs.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense was higher in the aggregate by $1.3 million in the first thirty-nine
weeks of 1997 as compared to 1996 due to increases in some expense categories
being partially offset by there being fewer units included in the operating
results. The change in SG&A expense included an increase of $1.4 million in
marketing expense, a decrease of $467 thousand in salaries, wages and related
benefits and a decrease of $410 thousand in utility expense.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was
higher by $1.1 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 1997 due primarily to
higher depreciation on newly acquired property, plant and equipment, along with
the use of shorter depreciation periods.
Special Charges. The loss from operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 30, 1997 includes net special charges of $10.0 million. The results
of operations includes a charge of $4.8 million for the liability for
indemnification of litigation settlement costs and reasonable expenses related
to a suit filed by Michael J. Levenson, a charge for $3.5 million for the write
down of assets and adjustments to closed store reserves of units previously
closed and for three units to be closed, a charge of $3.0 million for the write
down of certain assets and a credit of $1.3 million related to the settlement
of a lawsuit previously filed against the Company by the Internal Revenue
Service.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 1996, the Company recognized net
special credits of $1.1 million, including $699 thousand from the insurance
proceeds received related to a five loss incurred in 1994 and $709 thousand for
the termination of a trademark royalty agreement and the modification and
extension of a related lease, and a charge of $270 thousand related to a
consulting agreement with the Chairman of the Board and the search for a new
President and Chief Executive Officer.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $212 thousand in the thirty-nine
weeks in 1997, which was slightly higher than the comparable period in the
prior year. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
15, the restructured debt was recorded at the sum of all future principal and
interest payments and there is no recognition of interest expense thereon.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF
FURR'S/BISHOP'S, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1997, cash provided by
operating activities of the Company was $9.6 million compared to $13.1 million
in the same period of 1996. The Company made capital expenditures of $4.0
million during the first thirty-nine weeks of 1997 compared to $7.2 million
during the same period of 1996. Cash, temporary investments and marketable
securities were $3.0 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $2.2 million at
October 1, 1996. The current ratio of the Company was .38:1 at September 30,
1997 compared to .38:1 at October 1, 1996 and .41:1 at December 31, 1996.
The Company's total assets at September 30, 1997 aggregated $66.0 million,
following the net special charges of $10.0 million, compared to $78.9 million
at October 1, 1996 and $75.2 million at December 31, 1996.
The Company's restaurants are a cash business. Funds available from cash
sales are not needed to finance receivables and are not generally needed
immediately to pay for food, supplies and certain other expenses of the
restaurants. Therefore, the business and operations of the Company have not
historically required proportionately large amounts of working capital, which
is generally common among similar restaurant companies.
Total scheduled maturities of long-term debt of the Company and its
subsidiaries over the next five fiscal years are: $5.5 million in 1998, $5.5
million in 1999, $5.5 million in 2000 and $52.7 million in 2001.
The Partnership has outstanding $69.1 million of 12% Notes due December 31,
2001, which includes $23.4 million of interest to maturity. Under the terms of
the indenture covering the 12% Notes, a semi-annual cash interest payment of
approximately $2.7 million is due on each March 31 and September 30. The
obligations of the Partnership under the 12% Notes are secured by a security
interest in and a lien on all of the personal property of the Partnership and
mortgages on all fee and leasehold properties of the Partnership (to the extent
such properties are mortgageable).
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"),
which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock for both
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management of the
Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 128 in fiscal
year 1997 to have a material impact.
In July 1997, the Company reached a settlement of the litigation filed by
Michael J. Levenson, the former Chairman of the Board, and others. The
settlement involved a payment by the Company to the plaintiffs of a net amount
of approximately $275 thousand. All settling defendants, including the Company
and its subsidiaries, received mutual releases with respect to all matters
alleged in the litigation. The Company is required to indemnify certain of the
defendants originally named in the litigation for certain settlement costs and
reasonable expenses they incurred in connection with the litigation, and
estimates the total cost of such indemnification will be $4.8 million.
