EACO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 1, 2009
(Unaudited)

 
Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the interim financial information instructions to Form 10-Q, and do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in accordance with GAAP, the financial position of Eaco Corporation (the “Company”) as of April 1, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, have been made (consisting of normal recurring accruals and reclassifications of assets held for sale to assets held and used). The results of operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed on April 2, 2009.

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred significant losses and had negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, and had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,197,000 at that date.  As of April 1, 2009, the Company’s working capital deficit increased to $3,061,100.  The cash balance at April 1, 2009 was $13,600.  The cash outflows through March 2010 are estimated to total approximately $1,187,000, which will generate an estimated negative cash balance of $1,184,000 in the next twelve months.

These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has taken actions to address these matters, such as receiving bridge loans as described below; however, there can be no assurance that improvement in operating results will occur or that the Company will successfully implement its plans. In the event cash flow from operations is not sufficient, it is possible that the Company may require additional sources of financing in order to maintain its current operations. These additional sources of financing may include public or private offerings of equity or debt securities. While management believes it will have access to these financing sources, no assurance can be given that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis or at all.

In each of the first three months of  2009, the Company received bridge loans from Bisco Industries (“Bisco”), an affiliated company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glen F. Ceiley, in the amount of $680,000, accruing interest at 7.5% annually.  The bridge loan agreements do not provide for regularly scheduled payments; however, any remaining outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest is due six months from the date of each note, maturing in June through August 2009.  The Company expects the loans can be extended beyond six months.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulleting (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when all of the following conditions exist: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists as in the form of a lease document; (b) delivery has occurred, or services have been provided; (c) the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company leases its properties to tenants under operating leases with terms of over one year.  Some of these leases contain scheduled rent increases. The Company records rent revenue for leases which contain scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” .

Receivables from tenants are carried net of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.  An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to meet their contractual obligations under their lease agreements.  We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant’s receivables considering the tenant’s financial condition and security deposits and current economic conditions.  An allowance for uncollectible accounts of approximately $26,300  and $53,400 as of April 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, was determined to be necessary to reduce receivables to our estimate of the amount recoverable.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted  SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. SFAS 157 was amended in February 2008 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions”, and by FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which delayed the Company’s application of SFAS 157 for nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. FAS 157 was further amended in October 2008 by FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”, which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 to assets participating in inactive markets.
 
Implementation of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position and had no effect on the Company’s existing fair-value measurement practices. However, SFAS 157 requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs the Company uses to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:
 
- 5 -

 
EACO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 1, 2009
(Unaudited)
 
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the Company, Level 1 inputs include price and marketable securities that are actively traded.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the Company, Level 2 inputs include real estate sales comparisons obtained through third-party broker quotes used in determining the fair values of the Company’s real estate properties.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs. Beginning January 1, 2009, Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Level 3 inputs include estimates of property cash flow projections used in the determining the fair value of the Company’s real estate properties.
 
Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2.  Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)  issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination: 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations beginning the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. Therefore, the Company expects to adopt SFAS 141R for any business combinations entered into beginning in 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, rather than in the liability or mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 107-1 (“FSP 107-1”) amended SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amended Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28, “Interim financial Reporting” to require disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 if a company also elects to FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Indentifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. Management is evaluating the impact this FSP will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Note 3.  Investments

Prior to the quarter ended April 2, 2008, investments consisted of trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased.  The Company holds no such investments at April 1, 2009, as the Company liquidated all of its investment holdings in the quarter ended April 2, 2008.

These securities were carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in the statement of operations as a component of other income (expense).  Gains or losses on securities sold were based on the specific identification method. The results for the quarter ended April 2, 2008 included realized gains from the sale of marketable securities of $12,400 and unrealized losses of $447,500.

A primary investment strategy used by the Company in 2008 consisted of the short-selling of securities, which resulted in obligations to purchase securities at a later date.  As of April 2, 2008, the Company had no obligation for these securities sold and not yet purchased as all of these positions were closed in the quarter ended April 2, 2008.  The Company recognized net gains on securities sold, not yet purchased of $530,800 for the quarter ended April 2, 2008.

Note 4.    Dispositions

On June 1, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party restaurant operator to lease restaurant equipment from the Company.  The agreement called for rental payments to be made to the Company of $3,000 per month, with a $30,000 lump sum payment due at the end of the agreement in May 2009.  At that time, the equipment would become the property of the lessee.  During 2008, the lessee defaulted on the terms of the lease agreement.  In the first quarter of 2009, the Company decided to not pursue any legal action against the lessee, as the Company believes that the costs of legal action would outweigh the benefits received.  The Company recorded a loss of $5,000 related to the disposition of this equipment.

On March 27, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the landlord of one of its capital leases (Fowler Property, located in Tampa, Florida). The Company provided a lump sum payment of $500,000 for the release from further obligations under such lease which resulted in a net gain of $949,300.  Payment of the $500,000 was made by Bisco, a related party, and that amount is included in due to related party in the accompanying condensed balance sheet at April 1, 2009.  The note related to this payment accrues interest at 7.5% and is due in September 2009. Concurrent with the release from the capital lease obligation,  the Company wrote-off the assets under capital lease on its books resulting in a loss on the disposition of the building and equipment of $141,400.

Note 5.    Workers’ Compensation Liability

Prior to the Asset Sale (defined below) the Company self-insured workers’ compensation losses up to certain limits.  The liability for workers’ compensation claims represents an estimate of the present value of the ultimate cost of uninsured losses which are unpaid as of the balance sheet dates.  The estimate is continually reviewed and adjustments to the Company’s estimated claim liability, if any, are reflected in current operations.  The workers’ compensation liability was approximately $3,537,000 and $3,602,000 at April 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

After the sale of substantially all of the Company’s restaurant assets (the “Asset Sale”) to Banner Buffets, LLC (“Banner”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2005, the Company terminated its self-insurance program, and no further claims were incurred after June 29, 2005.

The State of Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation (the “Division”) requires self-insured companies to pledge collateral in favor of the Division in an amount sufficient to cover the Company’s projected outstanding liability.  In compliance with this requirement, in July 2004, the Company provided the Division with a $1 million letter of credit from a bank.  The current expiration date of that letter is May 30, 2009.  Based upon the bank’s evaluation of the Company’s credit and to avoid collateralization requirements, the letter of credit is guaranteed on behalf of the Company by Bisco.  In addition, the Company pledged in favor of the Division another $2,769,500 in letters of credit from various banks with expirations in 2009. These letters of credit are collateralized by the equity the Company holds in its Sylmar property which approximates $2 million and certificates of deposit totaling $791,400, which includes accrued interest through April 1, 2009.

Note 6.    Related Party Transactions

In July 2004, the Company provided a $1 million letter of credit to help cover the Company’s projected outstanding workers’ compensation liability.  The letter of credit is guaranteed on behalf of the Company by Bisco. The cost of the letter of credit is approximately $20,000 per year, which is reimbursed by the Company to Bisco.

The Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the personal guarantor on two Company loans secured by reral estate payable to two banks (the $5,756,000 loan from Community Bank entered into in December 2007 and the $1,202,000 loan from Zion’s Bank entered into in April 2008).

The Company currently has a management agreement with Bisco, whereby Bisco provides administration and accounting services.  During the quarters ended April 1, 2009 and April 2, 2008, the Company paid Bisco approximately $36,000 and $39,000, respectively, for those services.  Such amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.  The amounts due to Bisco at April 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were approximately $64,000 and $27,000, respectively and are included in due to related party in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Throughout 2008, the Company received bridge loans from Bisco in the amount of approximately $3,041,000, including interest, of which $1,575,000 was repaid during the fiscal year 2008, $79,100 was applicable to interest.  During the quarter ended April 1, 2009, the Company received additional bridge loans from Bisco totaling $680,000.  The balance of the bridge loans was approximately $2,074,600 and $1,365,700 as of April 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Bisco’s sole shareholder and President is Glen F. Ceiley, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The bridge loans do not provide for regularly scheduled payments; however, any remaining outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 7.5% is due six months from the date of each note.  The loans have been extended by the Company beyond six months and are due as follows:  $1,365,700 due June 2009, $118,900 due July 2009, $78,700 due August 2009 and $511,300 due September 2009.

As of April 1, 2009, interest accrued on the outstanding bridge loans totals $28,000 and is presented as a component of due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Note 8.    Commitments and Contingencies

Income Taxes

The Company had no material adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits for the quarter ended April 1, 2009.

Legal Matters

In January 2009, the Company defaulted on its lease of the Fowler Property.  In March 2009, the Company reached a settlement with the owner of the Fowler Property.  See Note 4.
 
In January 2009, the Company defaulted on its lease of the Deland Property.  The Company has contacted the landlord and is still awaiting resolution on the Deland Property at this time.

The following matters related to the discontinued restaurant operations of the Company which were sold in July 2005:

In connection with the Asset Sale, a broker demanded a commission payment of $3.5 million.  The Company filed suit against the broker in an effort to expedite a resolution of the claim.  The Company agreed to place $400,000 in escrow in connection with the lawsuit.  In December 2007, a final judgment was made by the court in favor of the broker for approximately $2,317,000.  As a result of the judgment and subsequent settlement agreement (described below) between the Company and the broker, the $400,000 in escrow was returned to the Company in January 2008. On January 22, 2008, the Company and the broker, among others, entered into a written settlement agreement whereby the Company, without admitting liability, agreed to pay the broker the amount of $2,317,000 in satisfaction of the final judgment.  The settlement amount was paid in January 2008.  In March 2008, the court ruled the Company owed an additional $46,200 in reimbursements related to legal costs incurred by the broker.  That amount was paid during the quarter ended April 2, 2008 and is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed statement of operations for the quarter ended April 2, 2008.

In August 2005, the Company was sued by another broker who claimed that a commission of $749,000 was payable to him as a result of the Asset Sale.  On May 9, 2008, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the broker whereby the Company, without admitting liability, agreed to pay the broker $550,000 which was accrued for as of April 2, 2008 and included in discontinued operations in the condensed statement of operations. On May 13, 2008, payment of the settlement was made by way of a short term loan from Bisco, see Note 6, Related Party Transactions.  Such amount is included in the amount due to related party during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, to the extent that this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of the Company, please be advised that the Company's actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by management in forward-looking statements.

Such differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including intensification of price competition and entry of new competitors and products, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, inadequate capital, unexpected costs and operating deficits, increases in general and administrative costs, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this Quarterly Report or in other reports issued by the Company. In addition, the business and operations of the Company are subject to substantial risks that increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by management or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when all of the following conditions exist: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists as in the form of a lease document; (b) delivery has occurred, or services have been provided; (c) the Company’s price to the lessee is fixed or determinable; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company leases its properties to tenants under operating leases with terms of over one year.  Some of these leases contain scheduled rent increases. We record rent revenue for leases which contain scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, in accordance with  SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.”

Receivables from tenants are carried net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.  An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of any tenants to meet their contractual obligations under their lease agreements.  We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating each tenant’s receivables considering the tenant’s financial condition and security deposits, and current economic conditions.  No allowance for uncollectible accounts was determined to be necessary at April 1, 2009.

Long Lived Assets

The Company’s accounting policy for the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets is considered critical.  The Company’s policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual basis.  The recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value. There were no impairment losses recorded during the quarter ended April 1, 2009.

Workers’ Compensation Liability

The Company’s policy for estimating its workers’ compensation liability is considered critical.  The Company previously self-insured workers’ compensation claims losses up to certain limits.  The liability for workers’ compensation represents an estimate of the present value of the ultimate cost of uninsured losses which are unpaid as of the balance sheet dates.  The estimate is continually reviewed and adjustments to the Company’s estimated claim liability, if any, are reflected in current operations.  On an annual basis, the Company obtains an actuarial report which estimates its overall exposure based on historical claims and an evaluation of future claims.  The Company pursues recovery of certain claims from an insurance carrier.  Recoveries, if any, are recognized when realization is reasonably assured.

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company’s policy for recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is considered critical.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.  In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized.  In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial performance.  SFAS No. 109 further states that forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is negative evidence, such as significant decreases in operations.  As a result of the Company’s recent disposal of significant business operations, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance should be recorded against federal and state net operating losses and certain federal and state tax credits.  The utilization of these items requires sufficient taxable income.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company accounts for the results of operations of a component of an entity that has been disposed or that meets all of the “held for sale” criteria, as discontinued operations, if the component’s operations and cash flows have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.  The “held for sale” classification requires having the appropriate approvals by our management, Board of Directors and shareholders, as applicable, and meeting other criteria.  When all of these criteria are met, the component is then classified as “held for sale” and its operations are reported as discontinued operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination: 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations beginning the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. Therefore, the Company expects to adopt SFAS 141R for any business combinations entered into beginning in 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, rather than in the liability or mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008; therefore, the Company expects to adopt SFAS 160 at the beginning of 2009. Adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 107-1 (“FSP 107-1”) amended SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amended APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim financial Reporting” to require disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 if a company also elects to FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Indentifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. Management is evaluating the impact this FSP will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include the Company’s workers’ compensation liability, the depreciable lives of assets, estimated loss on or impairment of long-lived assets and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  For a full description of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed on April 2, 2009.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Quarters Ended April 1, 2009 and April 2, 2008

At April 1, 2009, the Company owned two real estate properties for restaurant use, one located in Orange Park, Florida (the “Orange Park Property”) and one in Brooksville, Florida (the “Brooksville Property”).  The Orange Park Property was vacant during the first quarter ended April 1, 2009. The Brooksville Property was occupied by a third party restaurant operator during the quarter ended April 1, 2009.  The Company is obligated for a capital lease at another location located in Deland, Florida (the “Deland Property”).  The Deland Property was vacant during the quarter ended April 1, 2009.  For the first quarter, until March 27, 2009, the Company was also obligated for a capital lease at a location located in Tampa, Florida (the “Fowler Property”).  On March 27, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the owner of that property to release the Company from obligation under that lease for a lump sum payment of $500,000.  In addition, the Company owns an income producing real estate property held for investment in Sylmar, California (the “Sylmar Property”) with two industrial tenants.

The Company experienced a decrease of $38,100 or 13% in rental revenue during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008, due to the Deland Property being vacant during the first quarter of 2009 while occupied during the first quarter of 2008.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $55,000 or 27% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized an impairment on three properties, the Deland Property, the Fowler Property and the Brooksville Property.  The impairment lowered the values of these three assets, decreasing the depreciable basis going forward.  The first quarter of 2009 is the first quarter the assets were depreciated at their new basis.

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of rent and related property insurance expense, legal and other professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased $131,200 or 30% during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008, due mainly to decreases in property taxes and rent.  At the end of fiscal 2007, the Company regained the lease obligation related to the Fowler Property from its assignee, Banner Buffet (“Banner”), who defaulted on the lease.  During the first quarter 2008, the Company was required to pay property taxes and back rent related to the default of Banner.  These expenses were not required in the first quarter of 2009.

In the quarter ended April 2, 2008, the Company liquidated all of its investment holdings.  This resulted in no gain or loss from investments in the first quarter of 2009 versus a gain of $95,700 in the first quarter of 2008.

Interest expense increased by $42,400 or 20% in the quarter ended April 1, 2009 versus the quarter ended April 2, 2008, mainly due to the financing of the Brooksville Property that occurred in the second quarter of 2008.  Interest on the loan did not begin until after the end of the first quarter of 2008.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the landlord of the Fowler Property where the landlord released the Company from all past and future obligations for a lump sum payment of $500,000.  The resulting gain on the extinguishment of the capital lease obligation for the Fowler Property of $949,300 was recognized in the first quarter of 2009.  No such debt extinguishment occurred in 2008.

The Company recognized a loss upon the disposition of the asset related to the Fowler Property of $141,400 in the first quarter of 2009.  In addition, the Company disposed of certain equipment being leased by a third party restaurant operator who defaulted on their lease obligation related to that equipment resulting in a further loss on disposition of equipment of $5,000.  No dispositions occurred in 2008.

Net income was $292,100 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net loss of $1,058,300 in the first quarter of 2008, due to the gain on the extinguishment of the debt related to the Fowler Property, decreased by the loss on the disposal of the assets for the Fowler Property.  Earnings per share for the quarter was $0.07 in 2009 compared to a loss of $0.27 in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company incurred significant losses of $1,058,300 and had negative cash flow from operations of $3,330,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and had a working capital deficit of $2,197,200 at that date.  During the quarter ended April 1, 2009, the working capital deficit increased to $3,061,100.  The cash balance at April 1, 2009 was $13,600.

The cash outflows through March 2010 are estimated to total approximately $1,187,000, which will generate an estimated negative cash balance of $1,184,700 in the next twelve months.

The Company currently has estimated equity of $4 to $7 million in its three owned properties, of which $2 million is encumbered by a standby letter of credit to the Florida Self Insurers Guaranty Association (“FSIGA”) as collateral for its workers compensation liability.  The Company has the ability to sell any or all of these properties to fund operations; however, there can be no assurance that an improvement in operating results will occur or that the Company will successfully implement its plans.

- 11 -

 
The Company will require additional funds in order to maintain its current operations.  In the past, short term funds have been provided by Bisco Industries, Inc. (“Bisco”) and management believes the Company can continue borrowing from Bisco if necessary.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Glen F. Ceiley, is the President and sole shareholder of Bisco.  In the long term, the Company expects any capital requirements to be provided through the sale or refinancing of property currently owned.  Additional sources of financing may include public or private offerings of equity or debt securities. While management believes it will have access to these financing sources, no assurance can be given that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis or at all.

The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In 2008, the Company received bridge loans from Bisco in the amount of approximately $3,040,700, of which $1,575,000 has been repaid.  Bisco’s sole shareholder and President is Glen F. Ceiley, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The note agreements do not provide for regularly scheduled payments; however, any remaining outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest is due six months from the date of the note, although the Company believes the loans can be extended through June 2009.

On January 21, 2009, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from Bisco to cover fees related to renewing the lines of credit required by FSIGA with regards to the Company’s self insured worker’s compensation program.  The loan accrues interest at 7.5% per annum and principal and interest is due no later than July 21, 2009.

On January 26, 2009, the Company borrowed an additional $60,000 from Bisco to cover operating cash flow requirements through January 2009.  The note accrues interest at 7.5% per annum and principal and interest is due no later than July 26, 2009.
 
On February 17, 2009, the Company borrowed, on a short term basis, $70,000 from Bisco to fund its operations.  The note accrues interest monthly at 7.5% per annum and principal and interest is due no later than August 17, 2009.

On March 31, 2009, the Company borrowed, on a short term basis, $500,000 from Bisco to fund the payment related to the buy out of the Fowler Property lease.  The note payable accrues interest monthly at 7.5% per annum and principal and interest is due no later than September 30, 2009.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from rental income.  Therefore, the Company has not carried significant receivables or inventories and the primary working capital requirements are lease payments, repayment of debt, legal expenses and payment on the workers’ compensation liability.

As stated above, at April 1, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,061,100 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,197,200 at December 31, 2008.  The increase was due to the borrowing required to pay the owner of the Fowler Property per the terms of the settlement agreement releasing the Company from the obligations associated with that lease, as well as additional borrowing to fund normal operating expenses.  Cash used in operating activities was $111,600 in the quarter ended April 1, 2009, compared to cash used in operating activities of $3,330,000 in the quarter ended April 2, 2008.  The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the payment of two legal settlements with two brokers in the first quarter of 2008.  No such payment occurred in 2009.

Cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the first quarter of 2009 versus $1,186,500 in the first quarter months of 2008.  During the first quarter of 2008, the Company received $400,000 of previously restricted cash in escrow related to litigation that was settled at the end of fiscal 2007.  Also, during the first quarter of 2008, the Company liquidated all of its equity holdings, including securities sold, not yet purchased resulting in a further reduction of restricted cash of $786,500.  Cash related to these securities sold, not yet purchased was considered restricted as it was required to repurchase the stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $122,900 in the first quarter of 2009 was due to the proceeds received from the related party loan from Bisco of $180,000.  The purpose of these loans was to supply the Company with operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2009.

In connection with the Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Glen Ceiley, dividends are paid quarterly when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company paid no quarterly dividends in the quarter ended April 1, 2009.  There were no accrued declared dividends as of April 1, 2009.

The Company is required to pledge collateral for its workers’ compensation self-insurance liability with FSIGA.  The Company has a total of $1.37 million pledged collateral.  Bisco provides $1 million of this collateral.  As previously mentioned, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Glen F. Ceiley, is the President and sole shareholder of Bisco.  During 2007, the Company received a demand from the Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation (the “Division”) to post further collateral in the amount of $2,781,500.  The Company pledged the amount by posting a standby letter of credit.  The letter of credit is collateralized by a certificate of deposit of $769,500 and the equity the Company holds in the Sylmar Property.  The Company may be required to increase this collateral pledge from time to time in the future, based on its workers’ compensation claim experience and various FSIGA requirements for self-insured companies.  Despite the sale of the Company’s restaurants, the workers’ compensation will remain an ongoing liability for the Company until all claims are paid, which will likely take many years.

The Company entered into a loan agreement with GE Capital for the Orange Park Property in 1996.  As of April 1, 2009, the outstanding balance due under the Company’s loan with GE Capital was $727,900.  In December 2007, the Company refinanced the Sylmar Property with Community Bank.  As of April 1, 2009, the outstanding balance due on the Community Bank loan was $5,724,200.  In April 2008, the Company completed financing of the Brooksville Property with Zions Bank.  Proceeds of the loan were used to partially repay the related party loan received from Bisco.  As of April 1, 2009, the outstanding balance due on the Zions Bank loan was $1,199,100.  The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s loans was 6.2%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the financial position, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, except for the land leases on the restaurant properties treated as operating leases.

Contractual Financial Obligations

In addition to using cash flow from operations, the Company finances its operations through the issuance of debt, and previously by entering into leases.  These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transactions, with the result that some are recorded as liabilities in the balance sheet while others are required to be disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 as filed on April 2, 2009 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included herein.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Based upon management's evaluation of those controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
 
Management, in assessing its disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended April 1, 2009, identified a lack of sufficient control in the area of financial reporting. This control weakness allowed for material errors to our financial reports to go undetected.  Please refer to the discussion below for more details regarding this material weakness and management’s remediation plans.
 
Management has identified a lack of sufficient oversight and review as well as a lack of the appropriate resources to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles as it relates to certain routine accounting transactions.
 
These material weaknesses, if not remediated, have the potential to cause material misstatements in the future, with regard to routine and complex accounting transactions.
 
The Company is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address its material weaknesses. Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:

Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment existing Company resources with new personnel or consultants that have the technical accounting capabilities to assist in the analysis, recording and reporting of routine and complex accounting transactions.
 
·
Improve period-end closing procedures by establishing a monthly hard close process by implementing a process that ensures the timely review and approval of routine and complex accounting estimates.
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management's override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in internal control.  There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal controls over financial reporting.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, effective April 2006, the accounting functions for the Company are performed by Bisco’s accounting personnel and independent contract workers pursuant to a lease and facilities agreement. Bisco is an affiliated company owned and controlled by Glen Ceiley, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
