NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
TO BE HELD MAY 23, 2011
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
This proxy statement is furnished to shareholders by the Board of Directors of BAB, Inc. (the "Company") for solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 23, 2010, in the Conference Center located at 540 Lake Cook Road (within the Corporate 500 Centre complex), Deerfield, IL 60015, and all adjournments thereof for the purposes set forth.  The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any other matters that may or could properly come before the Meeting.
 
Shareholders may revoke proxies before exercise by submitting a later dated proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Unless a shareholder gives contrary instructions on the proxy card, proxies will be voted at the Meeting (i) for the election of the nominees named herein and on the proxy card to the Board of Directors; (ii) for the appointment of Sassetti LLC as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company; and (iii) in the discretion of the proxy holder as to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy are being mailed to the shareholders of the Company on or about April 15, 2011.
 
Please read the proxy carefully. You will find additional information about the Company in the most recent 10-K enclosed, which includes the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2010.
 
The Company will make arrangements with brokerage houses, other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of the shares and will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing. To ensure adequate representation of shares at the Meeting, officers, agents and employees of the Company may communicate with shareholders, banks, brokerage houses and others by telephone, facsimile, or in person to request that proxies be furnished. All expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation will be borne by the Company.

 
RECORD DATE AND VOTING
 
 
The Board of Directors has fixed April 1, 2011 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were outstanding 7,263,508 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, which is the only outstanding class of stock of the Company. All matters being voted upon by the shareholders require a majority vote of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy, except for election of directors, which is by plurality vote in the event of more nominees than positions (i.e. the four nominees receiving the highest number of votes would be elected).
 
The presence at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares voted as abstentions and broker non-votes on any matter (or a "withheld authority" vote as to directors) will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to such matter, but will not be deemed to have been voted in favor of such matter. "Broker non-votes" are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner and the broker indicates that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on that matter.
 
BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR election of each nominee for director named herein, and FOR ratification of the appointment of Sassetti LLC as independent registered public accounting firm. It is intended that proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted FOR each nominee and FOR each such other proposals unless otherwise directed by the shareholder submitting the proxy.


PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth as of April 1, 2011, the record and beneficial ownership of Common Stock held by (i) each person who is known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Company; (ii) each current director; (iii) each "named executive officer" (as defined in Regulation S-B, item 402 under the Securities Act of 1933); and (iv) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. Securities reported as "beneficially owned" include those for which the named persons may exercise voting power or investment power, alone or with others. Voting power and investment power are not shared with others unless so stated. The number and percent of shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by each such person as of April 1, 2011, includes the number of shares which such person has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days after such date.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits personal liability for breach of fiduciary duty by its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Delaware Law"). Such Certificate eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company and its shareholders for damages occasioned by breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability based on breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company, liability for acts or omissions not made in good faith, liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, liability based on payments of improper dividends, liability based on violation of state securities laws and liability for acts occurring prior to the date such provision was added. Any amendment to or repeal of such provisions in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
 
In addition to Delaware Law, the Company's Bylaws provide that officers and directors of the Company have the right to indemnification from the Company for liability arising out of certain actions to the fullest extent permissible by law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to such indemnification provisions, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.


SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers and directors were met for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010.
 
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
The following information relates to certain relationships and transactions between the Company and related parties, including officers and directors of the Company. It is the Company's policy that it will not enter into any transactions with officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock, or any entity controlled by or under common control with any such person, on terms less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and all such transactions require the consent of the majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors.
 
No aforementioned transactions were entered into during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010.


Audit Committee
 
The following is a report of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee consists of two members, who are both independent directors.  The two independent directors comply with the definition of "independent directors" as required by current law and regulations. The Audit Committee has adopted a written Audit Charter.  See Appendix I in this document for the Charter in its entirety.

PURPOSE

The primary function of the Audit Committee (Committee) is to assist the Board of Directors (Board) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information to be provided by the Company to any governmental body or the public, reviewing the Company’s systems of accounting internal control and reviewing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes.  The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

 
§
Be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (independent auditors) engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report on financial statements and on internal control over financial reporting (as required), or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company.  The independent auditors report directly to the Committee.

 
§
Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

 
§
Engage independent counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary to carry out its duties.

 
§
Monitor the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system and recommend changes to the Board.

While the Committee shall have the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it shall not be the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, or to determine whether the Company’s financial statements are complete, accurate or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  These are the responsibilities of the Company’s management.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the specific activities enumerated in Section IV of this Charter.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual meeting of the shareholders and shall serve until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified.

III.
MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet at least four times annually which typically would be prior to issuance of the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements to the public.  The Committee can meet more often as circumstances dictate.  Meetings may be executed by conference calls and/or via email of correspondence to/from the Company’s management and independent auditors.  The Committee may ask members of management or others to attend the meetings and provide pertinent information as necessary.
