BAB, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended February 28, 201 5 and 201 4

(Unaudited)

Note 1 . N ature of Operations

BAB, Inc. (“the Company”) has two wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”) and BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagels® (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. My Favorite Muffin (“MFM”), was acquired in 1997 and is included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s Coffee (“Brewster’s”), was established in 1996 and the coffee is sold in BAB and MFM locations as well as through license agreements. SweetDuet® (“SD”) frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores of which there are currently none. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels® (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired on February 1, 1999, and any branded wholesale business uses this trademark.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000.  The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB and MFM and SD trade names. At February 28, 2015, the Company had 84 franchise units and 5 licensed units in operation in 26 states. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under licensing agreements with Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard, Kaleidoscoops and Green Beans Coffee. Also, included in licensing fees and other income is Operations Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provides the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, menu panels, build charts, interior and exterior signage and point of purchase materials.

The BAB franchised brand consists of units operating as “Big Apple Bagels®,” featuring daily baked bagels, flavored cream cheeses, premium coffees, gourmet bagel sandwiches and other related products. Licensed BAB units serve the Company's frozen bagel and related products baked daily.  BAB units are primarily concentrated in the Midwest and Western United States. The MFM brand consists of units operating as "My Favorite Muffin®," featuring a large variety of freshly baked muffins, coffees and related products, and units operating as "My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe," featuring these products as well as a variety of specialty bagel sandwiches and related products.  The SweetDuet Frozen Yogurt & Gourmet Muffins® brand is a fusion concept, pairing self-serve frozen yogurt with MFM’s exclusive line of My Favorite Muffin gourmet muffins. SD frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Although the Company doesn't actively market Brewster's stand-alone franchises, Brewster's coffee products are sold in most franchised units.

The Company is leveraging on the natural synergy of distributing muffin products in existing BAB units and, alternatively, bagel products and Brewster's Coffee in existing MFM units. The Company expects to continue to realize efficiencies in servicing the combined base of BAB and MFM franchisees.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2014 which was filed February 23, 2015.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim period presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of such interim period and the financial position as of the end of said period. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The Company excluded 257,500 and 350,400 potential shares attributable to outstanding stock options from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4.  Long-Term Debt

The total debt balance of $65,311 represents a note payable to a former shareholder that requires an annual payment of $35,000, including interest at 4.75%, due October 1 and running through 2016.

7

5.  Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (Plan). The Plan reserved and has issued 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant. As of February 28, 2015, there were 1,142,500 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

For the three months ended February 28,

Exercised

Outstanding at end of year

257,500 360,400

To value option grants and other awards for stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model. When the measurement date is certain, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant and is based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments.

The Company’s stock option terms expire in ten years and vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period of five years.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at February 28, 2015:

Options Outstanding

Exercise Price

Intrinsic Value

257,500 1.50 $ 1.24 $ - 257,500 $ 1.24 $ -

There is no computation for the aggregate intrinsic value in the table above because the outstanding options weighted average exercise price was greater than the Company’s closing stock price of $0.75 as of the last business day of the period ended February 28, 2015. There were 56,900 unexercised options that expired and no options exercised during the three month period ended February 28, 2015.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests. The Company follows this guidance.

The Company tests goodwill that is not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill was tested at the end of the first quarter, February 28, 2015 and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

The impairment test performed February 28, 2015 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment has occurred.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2014-09 establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. The standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 for fiscal year ending November 30, 2019 and the Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance might have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements as of February 28, 2015 that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

8. Stockholder’s Equity

On March 2, 2015 the Board of Directors declared a $0.01 cash distribution/dividend to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2015, payable April 10, 2015.

The Board of Directors declared a cash distribution/dividend on December 3, 2014 of $0.02 which consisted of a $0.01 quarterly and a $0.01 special cash distribution/dividend per share paid on January 6, 2015.

On June 18, 2014 an amendment to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement was filed appointing American Stock Transfer Company LLC as successor to Illinois Stock Transfer Company. All original rights and provisions remain unchanged.

9. Contingenc ies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of such proceedings or claims will have a material effect on our financial position. Except as stated below, we know of no pending or threatened proceeding or claim to which we are or will be a party.

The Company has previously reported that on July 8, 2013, a judgment was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the amount of $84,000 against BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAB, Inc., and in favor of a former landlord of Operations, Alecta Real Estate USA, LLC.  Operations, the subsidiary which owned Company stores, had been a tenant operating a Big Apple Bagels store in Glenview, Illinois from 1999 to 2001 when it sold the store and assigned the lease to a franchisee.  The store was sold and the lease was assigned three more times over the next 10 years. In 2011, the final owner of the store closed it and defaulted on the lease.  Operations, which no longer owns any Company stores, was sued for a continuing guaranty in connection with the original assignment of the lease in 2001.

On August 15, 2013, an additional judgment of $70,030 was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County for this same matter for plaintiff’s attorney’s fees bringing the total judgment to $154,030.  In September 2013 the Company filed an appeal.  A bond was required and posted by BAB, Inc. for an amount equal to 150% of the judgment.

On March 23, 2015 the Appellate Court found in favor of the plaintiff and against Operations, affirming the trial court’s judgment in the amount of $154,030 plus post-judgment interest and attorney fees incurred on the appeal.

BAB has reserved the amount of the judgment plus statutory interest and additional legal fees totaling $243,000 as an expense in the first quarter financial statements of 2015.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements regarding the development of the Company's business, the markets for the Company's products, anticipated capital expenditures, and the effects of completed and proposed acquisitions, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements as is within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as set forth in this report, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain risks and uncertainties are wholly or partially outside the control of the Company and its management, including its ability to attract new franchisees; the continued success of current franchisees; the effects of competition on franchisee s and consumer acceptance of the Company's products in new and existing markets; fluctuation in development and operating costs; brand awareness; availability and terms of capital; adverse publicity; acceptance of new product offerings; availability of locations and terms of sites for store development; food, labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulation (including increases in the minimum wag e); regional economic and weather conditions; the hiring, training, and retention of skilled corporate and restaurant management; and the integration and assimilation of acquired concepts. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

There are 84 franchised and 5 licensed units at February 28, 2015 compared to 95 franchised and 5 licensed units February 28, 2014.  System-wide revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2015 were $8.0 million as compared to February 28, 2014 which were $8.1 million.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees and receipt of initial franchise fees.  Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of licensed products (My Favorite Muffin mix, Big Apple Bagels cream cheese and Brewster's coffee), and through licensing and nontraditional channels of distribution (Kohr Bros., Kaleidoscoops and Green Beans Coffee). Also included in licensing fees and other income is Operation’s Sign Shop revenue. The Sign Shop provides the majority of signage, which includes but is not limited to, posters, menu panels, outside window stickers and counter signs to franchisees to provide consistency and convenience.

Royalty fees represent a 5% fee on net retail and wholesale sales of franchised units. Royalty revenues are recognized on an accrual basis using actual franchise receipts. Generally, franchisees report and remit royalties on a weekly basis. The majority of month-end receipts are recorded on an accrual basis based on actual numbers from reports received from franchisees shortly after the month-end. Estimates are utilized in certain instances where actual numbers have not been received and such estimates are based on the average of the last 10 weeks’ actual reported sales.

The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue upon the opening of a franchise store or upon the signing of a master franchise agreement. Direct costs associated with the franchise sale are deferred until the franchise fee revenue is recognized.  These costs include site approval, construction approval, commissions, blueprints and training costs.

In 2014 a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) was entered into with a Dubai based organization which includes ten Middle East Countries. The MFA is for $200,000, is nonrefundable and represents full payment for the MFA and the first fifteen owned by the Master Franchisee (“MF”), and/or franchised locations. There was an initial payment of $100,000 paid upon execution of the agreement, $50,000 is due upon the opening of the first BAB location or 12 months after execution of the agreement and $50,000 is due upon opening of the second location or eighteen months after execution of the agreement. MF owned BAB locations will pay a 3% royalty and service fee on gross sales. All BAB locations under the MFA operated by a franchisee will pay BAB Systems 50% of the current royalty and service fee payable to the MF. The first Big Apple Bagels location, which is owned by the MF, is currently under development.

The $10,000 decrease in 2015 expenses compared to 2014 same period was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $8,000, a decrease in franchise development of $14,000, Sign Shop cost of goods decreased $7,000, offset by an $8,000 increase in payroll because of higher employee Christmas bonuses in fiscal 2015, a $3,000 increase in advertising and promotion and a $9,000 increase for employee benefits which included an employee 401K contribution accrual.

The Company used $145,000 and $218,000 for cash distribution/dividend payments during the three month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

On March 2, 2015 the Board of Directors declared a $0.01 cash distribution/dividend to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2015, payable April 10, 2015. Although there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to pay cash distributions/dividends in the future, it is the Company’s intent that future cash distributions/dividends will be considered based on profitability expectations and financing needs and will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. It is the Company’s intent going forward to declare and pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis if warranted.

The Company believes execution of its cash distribution/dividend policy will not have any material adverse effects on its cash or its ability to fund current operations or future capital investments.

The Company has no financial covenants on its outstanding debt.

Cash Distribution and Dividend Policy

It is the Company’s intent that future cash distributions/dividends will be considered after reviewing profitability expectations and financing needs and will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Due to the general economic downturn and its impact on the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient earnings to pay out cash distributions/dividends. The Company will continue to analyze its ability to pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis.

The Company believes that for tax purposes the cash distributions declared in 2015 may be treated as a return of capital to stockholders depending on each stockholder’s basis or it may be treated as a dividend or a combination of the two. Determination of whether it is a cash distribution, cash dividend or combination of the two will not be made until after December 31, 2015, as the classification or combination is dependent upon the Company’s earnings and profits for tax purposes for its fiscal year ending November 30, 2015.

The Company believes execution of this policy will not have any material adverse effect on its ability to fund current operations or future capital investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2014-09 establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. The standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 for fiscal year ending November 30, 2019 and the Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance might have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements as of February 28, 2015 that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.  The Company's most critical accounting policies are related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance.  Details regarding the Company's use of these policies and the related estimates are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2015.  There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies that impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the three months ended February 28, 2015.

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of such proceedings or claims will have a material effect on our financial position. Except as stated below, we know of no pending or threatened proceeding or claim to which we are or will be a party.

The Company has previously reported that on July 8, 2013, a judgment was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the amount of $84,000 against BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAB, Inc., and in favor of a former landlord of Operations, Alecta Real Estate USA, LLC.  Operations, the subsidiary which owned Company stores, had been a tenant operating a Big Apple Bagels store in Glenview, Illinois from 1999 to 2001 when it sold the store and assigned the lease to a franchisee.  The store was sold and the lease was assigned three more times over the next 10 years. In 2011, the final owner of the store closed it and defaulted on the lease.  Operations, which no longer owns any Company stores, was sued for a continuing guaranty in connection with the original assignment of the lease in 2001.

On August 15, 2013, an additional judgment of $70,030 was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County for this same matter for plaintiff’s attorney’s fees which were contractually payable to the prevailing party, bringing the total judgment to $154,030.  In September 2013 the Company filed an appeal.

On March 23, 2015 the Appellate Court found in favor of the plaintiff and against Operations, affirming the trial court’s judgment in the amount of $154,030 plus post-judgment interest and attorneys fees incurred on the appeal.

BAB has reserved the amount of the judgment plus statutory interest and additional legal fees as an expense in the first quarter financial statements of 2015.
