NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s  Annual Report on Form 10-K  for the year ended September 24, 2016 .

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2016.

Note 2

We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $609,000 and $571,000 at March 25, 2017 and September 24, 2016, respectively.

7

Note 3

Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. Depreciation expense was $9,703,000 and $8,591,000 for the three months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016, respectively, and for the six months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016 was $18,431,000 and $16,761,000, respectively.

Note 4

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

Total share-based compensation

$ 156 $ 254 $ 120 $ 98

The above compensation is net of tax benefits

$ 526 $ 283 $ 1,309 $ 957

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2017 first six months: expected volatility of 15.8%; risk-free interest rate of 2.0%; dividend rate of 1.3% and expected lives of 5 years.

During the 2017 six month period, the Company granted 158,794 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $18.84. During the 2016 six month period, the Company granted 159,170 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $13.94.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 51 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

Note 6

We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

10

Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”). We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $364,000 and $354,000 on March 25, 2017 and September 24, 2016, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 25, 2017 and September 24, 2016, respectively, the Company has $229,000 and $219,000 of accrued interest and penalties.


In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

Note 7

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition which says that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending September 2019.  Early application is permitted.  Our analysis indicates that the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements will not be material.

In January 2016,  the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to measure equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, to use the price that would be received by a seller  when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and which eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.  Under present guidance, changes in fair value of equity investments are recognized in Stockholder’s Equity.   This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ended September 2019.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We do not anticipate that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting which requires that an entity recognize most leases on its balance sheet.  The guidance retains a dual lease accounting model for purposes of income statement recognition, continuing the distinction between what are currently known as “capital” and “operating” leases for lessees.  This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ended September 2020.   We anticipate that the impact of this guidance on our financial statements will be material .

11

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the definition of a business. The updated standard provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set is not a business. If it is not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirements that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The updated guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending September 2019 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted, including for interim and annual periods in which the financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuances. We have adopted this new guidance in this March 2017 quarter and the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. This updated standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates the two-step goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an annual or interim goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and two-step goodwill impairment test. The updated guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending September 2021 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 9

We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements. We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.

Our three reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income. These segments are described below

Food Service

The primary products sold by the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros, dough enrobed handheld products and baked goods. Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; malls and shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions. Within the food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.

Retail Supermarkets

The primary products sold to the retail supermarket channel are soft pretzel products – including SUPERPRETZEL, frozen juice treats and desserts including LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars and sorbet, PHILLY SWIRL cups and sticks, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes and dough enrobed handheld products including PATIO burritos. Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.

13

Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE and PARROT ICE in the United States, Mexico and Canada. We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service and Retail Supermarkets and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment. Information regarding the operations in these three reportable segments is as follows:

Fully amortized intangible assets were removed from the above table during the current quarter for March 25, 2017 and September 24,2016.

15

Trade names of $649,000 that were classified as indefinite lived intangible assets at September 24, 2016 were reclassified to amortized intangible assets at March 25, 2017 because of our current expectation that moderately declining product sales under that trade name are likely to continue. We have assigned a finite life of five years to that trade name.

Amortized intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. Intangible assets of $16,820,000 were acquired in the three and six months ended March 25, 2017 in the Hill & Valley acquisition in our food service segment. There were no intangible assets acquired in the six months ended March 26, 2016. Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016 was $1,021,000 and $1,328,000, respectively and for the six months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016 was $2,129,000 and $2,657,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense including the estimated impact from the Hill & Valley purchase described in Note 13 for the next five fiscal years is approximately $3,900,000 in 2017, $3,500,000 in 2018, $3,400,000 in 2019, $3,200,000 in 2020 and $2,500,000 in 2021. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.6 years.

Note 11

We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale consist primarily of investments in mutual funds, preferred stock and corporate bonds.  The fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  The fair values of preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.  As a result, preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at March 25, 2017 are summarized as follows:

The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The unrealized losses of $269,000 are spread over 4 funds with total fair market value of $12.7 million. The Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock generate fixed income to call dates in 2018, 2019 and 2025 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. The mutual funds and Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions. The corporate bonds generate fixed income to maturity dates in 2017 through 2021, with $108 million maturing within 3 years. Our expectation is that we will hold the corporate bonds to their maturity dates and redeem them at our amortized cost.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current cash and cash equivalents balances and cash expected to be provided by future operations are our primary sources of liquidity. We believe that these sources, along with our borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion. See Note 11 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.42 per share of its common stock payable on April 6, 2017, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2017.

In our fiscal year ended September 24, 2016, we purchased and retired 141,700 shares of our common stock at a cost of $15,265,019. In the three and six months ended March 25, 2017 we purchased and retired 12,926 shares at a cost of $1,682,342. On November 8, 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase and retirement of an additional 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; 34,849 shares remain to be purchased under this authorization.

In the three months ended March 25, 2017 and March 26, 2016 fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused a decrease of $1,894,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2017 second quarter and an increase of $40,000 accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2016 second quarter. In the six month period, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused a decrease of $790,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2017 six month period and an increase of $680,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2016 six month period.

Our general-purpose bank credit line which expires in November 2021 provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility. The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no outstanding balances under this facility at March 25, 2017.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $16,803,000 or 7% to $246,513,000 for the three months and $19,523,000 or 4% to $472,083,000 for the six months ended March 25, 2017 compared to the three and six months ended March 26, 2016. Excluding sales of Hill & Valley, acquired December 30, 2016, sales for the three months increased $7,320,000, or 3% and sales for the six months increased $10,040,000, or 2% from last year.

21

FOOD SERVICE

Sales to food service customers increased $15,355,000 or 10% in the second quarter to $164,078,000 and increased $18,900,000 or 6% for the six months. Excluding sales of Hill & Valley, sales increased $5,872,000, or 4%, for the second quarter and $9,417,000, or 3% for the six months. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 4% to $84,487,000 in the six months with sales increases to schools, convenience stores and restaurant chains.

Frozen juices and ices sales decreased 12% to $9,693,000 in the three months and decreased 11% to $17,172,000 in the six months resulting from lower sales to warehouse club stores. We expect sales to be lower in our third quarter compared to last year by about $3 million or 16% primarily because of lower sales to one warehouse club customer; however, we expect sales to be higher in our fourth quarter compared to last year by about $3 million or 22% primarily because of higher sales to that same warehouse club customer. Churro sales to food service customers increased 7% to $14,719,000 in the second quarter and 6% to $29,157,000 in the six months with increased sales to restaurant chains and warehouse club stores.

Sales of bakery products increased $13,380,000 or 18% in the second quarter to $83,804,000 and increased $12,058,000 or 8% for the six months. Excluding sales of Hill & Valley, sales increased $3,897,000, or 6%, for the second quarter and $2,575,000, or 2% for the six months with sales increases and decreases spread across our customer base.

Sales of handhelds increased $924,000 or 13% in the quarter and $ 2,257,000 or 17% for the six months with all of the increase coming from sales to three customers in the quarter and five customers in the six months. Sales of funnel cake increased $1,066,000 or 32% in the quarter and $2,213,000 or 36% for the six months primarily due to increased sales to school food service and restaurant chains.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $9 million in this quarter and $16 million in the six months. Price increases had a marginal impact on sales in the quarter and for the six months and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and Hill & Valley sales , accounted for approximately $15 million of sales in the quarter and $ 19 million of sales in the six months.

Operating income in our Food Service segment increased from $18,520,000 to $19,636,000 in the quarter and increased from $34,422,000 to $36,690,000 in the six months. Operating income for both periods benefitted from sales increases, improved operations and lower ingredient costs. Hill & Valley contributed $144,000 to operating income in the second quarter.

RETAIL SUPERMARKETS

Sales of products to retail supermarkets decreased $1,088,000 or 4% to $25,612,000 in the second quarter and decreased $729,000 or 2% to $47,231,000 in the six months.  Soft pretzel sales for the second quarter were down 6% to $9,186,000 and were down 2% to $18,130,000 for the six months with sales decreases across customers and products. Sales of frozen juices and ices increased $284,000 or 2% to $13,191,000 in the second quarter and were up $1,071,000 to $23,042,000 for the six months led by increased sales of our WHOLEFRUIT products.    Handheld sales to retail supermarket customers decreased 2% to $3,376,000 in the quarter and decreased 7% to $6,826,000 for the six months, even though trade spending for the introduction of new products, which is a reduction of sales , was less this year by approximately $600,000 for the quarter and $800,000 for the six months.

Sales of new products in the second quarter were approximately $200,000 and were $750,000 for the six months. Price increases had a marginal impact on sales in the quarter and for the six months and net volume decreases, including new product sales as defined above and net of increased coupon costs , lowered sales by about $1.4 million in in the quarter and the six months.

Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment was $2,454,000 in this year’s quarter compared to $2,469,000 in last year’s quarter and was $3,500,000 in this year’s six months compared to $3,559,000 in last year’s six months. Lower trade spending for the introduction of new products compared to last year offset the negative factors of generally lower sales and higher coupon expenses in both periods.

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased 5% to $56,823,000 in the second quarter and increased 1% to $110,477,000 in the six month period. Beverage related sales alone were up 4% to $31,822,000 in the second quarter and were up 3% to $60,098,000 in the six month period.    Gallon sales were up 4% for the three months and were up 2% for the six month period primarily due to higher sales to movie theaters but with higher sales to other customer groups as well. Service revenue increased 4% to $17,687,000 in the second quarter and increased 3% to $35,778,000 for the six month period with sales increases and decreases spread throughout our customer base.

Sales of beverage machines, which tend to fluctuate from year to year while following no specific trend, were $7,012,000, an increase of 12% from last year’s second quarter and were $14,051,000, or 6% lower than last year, in the six month period.

Operating income in our Frozen Beverage segment decreased to $2,021,000 in this quarter and to $3,248,000 for the six months compared to $2,290,000 and $3,658,000 in last years’ periods, respectively. Higher payroll costs including higher group health insurance costs of about $208,000 and $545,000 in the quarter and six months, respectively, contributed to the lower operating income in both periods.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.54% in the three month period this year and 29.93% last year. For the six month period, gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.38% this year and 29.30% a year ago. More than 1/2 of the gross profit percentage decrease in the quarter resulted from the lower gross profit percentage of the Hill & Valley business. Higher costs in our frozen beverages business also impacted the gross margin percentage in the quarter. For the six months, the negative impact of the lower Hill & Valley gross profit percentage and higher costs in our frozen beverages business were offset by improved sales, lower ingredient costs and improved operating efficiencies in our food service segment as well as by lower trade spending for the introduction of new products compared to last year in our retail supermarkets segment.

Total operating expenses increased $3,236,000 in the second quarter and as a percentage of sales was 19.8% in both years. For the first half, operating expenses increased $4,329,000, and as a percentage of sales increased from 20.1% to 20.2%. Marketing expenses were 8.7% of sales in this year’s quarter and 8.9% last year and were 8.9% in this year’s six months compared to 8.8% of sales in last year’s six months. Distribution expenses were 7.5% of sales in this year’s quarter and were 7.6% of sales in last year’s quarter, and were 7.8% in this year’s six month period and 7.9% of sales last years’ six month period. Administrative expenses were 3.5% of sales this quarter and 3.6% for the six month period compared to 3.3% of sales last year in the second quarter and 3.4% for the six months.

Operating income increased $832,000 or 4% to $24,111,000 in the second quarter and increased $1,799,000 or 4% to $43,438,000 in the first half as a result of the aforementioned items.

Investment income increased by $198,000 and $265,000 in the second quarter and six months, respectively, primarily because last year’s quarter and six months included losses on the sales of marketable securities of $297,000 and $406,000, respectively.

Other expense for the quarter and six months this year includes $514,000 of acquisition costs for the Hill & Valley purchase.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 35.4% and 35.7% for the quarter this year and last year, respectively and 34.8% and 34.7% for the six months this year and last year, respectively.

Net earnings increased $399,000 or 3% in the current three month period to $15,987,000 and were $29,527,000 for the six months this year compared to $28,566,000 for the six month period last year, an increase of 3%.

There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.
