Note 1. Description of Business

 

ARC Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in April 2000. The Company’s business is focused primarily on the development of the Dick’s Wings & Grill® franchise (“Dick’s Wings”) and Fat Patty’s® concept (“Fat Patty’s”) and the acquisition of financial interests in other restaurant brands. The Dick’s Wings concept is currently comprised of its traditional Dick’s Wings restaurants and non-traditional units like the Dick’s Wings concession stands that the Company has at TIAA Bank Field (formerly EverBank Field) and Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The Fat Patty’s concept is currently comprised of its traditional Fat Patty’s restaurants.

 

On August 30, 2018, the Company closed upon an asset purchase agreement for Fat Patty’s. Fat Patty’s is comprised of four company-owned restaurants located at 1442 Winchester Avenue, Ashland, Kentucky 41101, 5156 WV 34, Hurricane, West Virginia 25526, 3401 Rt. 60 East, Barboursville, West Virginia 25504, and 1935 Third Avenue, Huntington, West Virginia 25702 (collectively, the “Fat Patty’s Restaurants”). A description of the Company’s acquisition of Fat Patty’s is set forth herein under Note 4. – Acquisition of Fat Patty’s.

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Tilted Kilt Eatery and Pub® restaurant franchise (“Tilted Kilt”). The Tilted Kilt franchise is comprised of 26 restaurants operating in 13 states, of which two were company owned and operated and the remaining 24 were franchise locations. A description of the transaction is set forth herein under Note 5. Agreement to Acquire Tilted Kilt.

 

At September 30, 2019, the Company had 20 Dick’s Wings restaurants and nine Dick’s Wings concession stands. Of the 20 restaurants, 16 were located in Florida and four were located in Georgia. The Company’s concession stands were also located in Florida. Four of the Company’s restaurants were owned by the Company, and the remaining 16 restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees. The Company’s concession stands were also owned by the Company. In addition, the Company had four Fat Patty’s restaurants at September 30, 2019. Of the four restaurants, three were located in West Virginia and one was located in Kentucky. All four of the restaurants were owned by the Company.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnotes disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Notwithstanding this, the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information presented as of December 31, 2018 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent quarter or full fiscal year.

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is provided to assist the reader in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes thereto are representations of the Company’s management. The Company’s management is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Restatement

 

The Company has restated its previously issued condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018. The impact of the restatement is more specifically described herein under Note 20. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The company concluded that facts existed that created an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2016. The Company generated net income of $344,740 and cash flows from operations of $248,345 during the year ended December 31, 2017. While the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,784,844 at December 31, 2018 and a net loss of $282,483 during the year ended December 31, 2018, it generated cash flows from operations of $478,238 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The improvement in cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2017 was due primarily to the Company’s acquisition of two Company-owned Dick’s Wings restaurants in December 2016. The improvement in cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2018 was due primarily to the Company’s acquisition of Fat Patty’s in August 2018.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

While the Company generated a net loss of $1,303,318 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and had a working capital deficit of $4,100,874 at September 30, 2019, the Company generated cash flow from operating activities of $565,856 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and received continued financial support from related parties during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. As a result of these factors, the Company concluded that the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern had been alleviated as of September 30, 2019.

 

Segment Disclosure

 

The Company has both Company-owned restaurants and franchised restaurants, all of which operate in the full-service casual dining industry in the United States. Pursuant to the standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who comprises the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker function for the purposes of ASC 280, concluded that the Company has two segments for reporting purposes, which are Company-owned restaurants and franchise operations.

 

Other Receivables

 

Other receivables was comprised primarily of receipts from credit card sales by Company-owned Fat Patty’s restaurants that occurred after the Company completed the acquisition of Fat Patty’s that were held by the former owner of Fat Patty’s, all of which are expected to be collected in full by the Company during the next 12 months.

 

Intangible Assets, Net

 

The Company acquired various intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Fat Patty’s. The intangible assets were comprised of a tradename and a non-compete agreement. The Company amortizes the non-compete agreement on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is five years. The tradename has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization but tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company recognized $942 and $2,826 of amortization expense for the non-compete agreement during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.

 

Other Payables

 

Other payables was comprised primarily of accounts payable owed to the former owner of Fat Patty’s for alcohol and other items purchased by him in connection with the operation of the concept.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from two primary sources: (a) retail sales at company-operated restaurants; and (b) franchise revenue, which consists of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchised restaurants, funds contributed by franchisees to the Company’s general advertising fund, and initial and renewal franchise license fees.

Revenue From Company-Owned Restaurants

 

Revenue from company-owned restaurants is primarily recognized as customers pay for products at the point of sale. The Company reports Company-owned restaurant revenues net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

 

Revenue From Franchised Restaurants

 

The Company grants individual restaurant franchises to operators in exchange for initial franchise license fees and continuing royalty payments.

 

Initial and renewal franchise license fees are payable by the franchisee upon a new restaurant opening or renewal of an existing franchise agreement. Under franchise agreements, the Company provides franchisees with: (a) a franchise license, which includes a non-exclusive license to our intellectual property for the duration of the franchise agreement and where the Company manages a marketing or co-op advertising fund, advertising and promotion management; (b) pre-opening services, such as training and inspections; and (c) ongoing services, such as development of training materials and menu items and restaurant monitoring and inspections. The services that the Company provides are highly interrelated and dependent on the franchise license so the Company does not consider the services to be individually distinct and therefore accounts for them as a single performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied by providing a right to use the Company’s intellectual property over the term of each franchise agreement. Accordingly, initial and renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreement.

 

The Company’s performance obligation under area development agreements generally consists of an obligation to grant exclusive development rights for a particular geographic region over a stated term. These development rights are not distinct from franchise agreements and are creditable towards the initial franchise license fee, so upfront fees paid by franchisees for exclusive development rights are deferred and allocated to the appropriate franchise restaurant when the franchise agreement is executed.

 

Franchise royalty revenues represents sales-based royalties that are related entirely to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement. Continuing franchise royalty revenues are based on a percentage of monthly sales and are recognized on the accrual basis as franchise sales occur. In certain circumstances, the Company may reduce or waive franchise license fees and/or the franchise royalty percentage for a period of time.

 

Franchises contributions to the Company’s general advertising funds are calculated as a percentage of monthly sales. Contributions to the fund generally represent sales-based or fixed monthly fee amounts that are related entirely to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are recognized as franchise sales occur.

ASC Topic 606

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASC 606 provides a single framework in which revenue is required to be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new guidance effective the first day of fiscal year 2018, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initially adopting the guidance was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018.

 

Franchise Fees

 

ASC 606 impacted the timing of recognition of franchise fees. Under previous guidance, these fees were typically recognized upon the opening of restaurants. Under ASC 606, the fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the individual franchise agreements. The effect of the required deferral of fees received in a given year will be mitigated by the recognition of revenue from fees retrospectively deferred from prior years. The Company recognized $4,718 and $11,968 of deferred franchise fees as income during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and recognized $7,250 and $45,264 of deferred franchise fees as income during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s deferred franchised fees was $103,266 at September 30, 2019.

 

Advertising Funds

 

ASC 606 also impacted the accounting for transactions related to the Company’s general advertising fund. Under previous guidance, franchisee contributions to and expenditures by the fund were not included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Under ASC 606, the Company records contributions to and expenditures by the fund as revenue and expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized contributions to and expenditures by the fund of $33,255 and $97,123 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and recognized contributions to and expenditures by the fund of $46,816 and $145,076 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

Gift Card Funds

 

Additionally, ASC 606 impacted the accounting for transactions related to the Company’s gift card program. Under previous guidance, estimated breakage income on gift cards was deferred until it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance would be redeemed. Under ASC 606, breakage income on gift cards is recognized as gift cards are utilized. The effect of this change on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was negligible.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”), which modified and superseded the guidance under ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC Topic 840”). The FASB subsequently issued several other Accounting Standards Updates, including ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-12, which among other things provide for a practical expedient related to the recognition of the cumulative effect on retained earnings resulting from the adoption of the pronouncements.

 

ASC Topic 842 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for in the same manner as operating leases under ASC Topic 840.

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 applying the modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, are presented under Topic 842, while prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company recognized $3,832,779 and $3,832,286 of additional assets and liabilities, respectively, in connection with its operating leases upon the adoption of ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company did not recognize any additional assets or liabilities in connection with its financing lease upon the adoption of ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract based on whether an identified asset exists and whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the benefit of the assets and to control its use over the full term of the agreement. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, none of our leases provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate considering both the revolving credit rates and a credit notching approach to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. There are no material residual value guarantees and no restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements. Certain of the Company’s leases include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days or another measure of usage and are not included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

 

The Company elected the package of practical expedients available for implementation, which allows for the following:

 

  An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;
     
  An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and
     
  An entity need not reassess initial indirect costs for any existing leases.

 

Furthermore, the Company elected the optional transition method to make January 1, 2019 the initial application date of the standard. This package of practical expedients allows entities to account for their existing leases for the remainder of their respective lease terms following the previous accounting guidance.

 

The Company also elected to adopt the optional transition practical expedient provided in ASU 2018-01 to not evaluate under ASC Topic 842 for existing or expired land easements prior to the application date to determine if they meet the definition of a lease.

 

The impact of ASC Topic 842 is more specifically described herein under Note 12. Leases.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards is fixed at the grant date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company’s operations or that no material effect is expected on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Note 3. Net (Loss) / Income Per Share

 

The Company calculates basic and diluted net (loss) / income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net (loss) / income per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period and is calculated by dividing the reported net (loss) / income for the applicable period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net (loss) / income per share is calculated by dividing the reported net (loss) / income for the applicable period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, as adjusted to give effect to the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding at the end of the applicable period.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) / income per share:

Note 4. Acquisition of Fat Patty’s

 

On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with CSA, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“CSA”), CSA Investments, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company (“CSA Investments”), CSA of Teays Valley, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“CSA Teays Valley”), CSA, Inc. of Ashland, a Kentucky corporation (“CSA Ashland”), Fat Patty’s, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company (“FPLLC”), and Clint Artrip, an individual (“Artrip”; together with CSA, CSA Investments, CSA Teays Valley, and CSA Ashland, FPLLC, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the assets associated with Fat Patty’s (the “Fat Patty’s Acquisition”). The Company agreed to pay the Sellers $12,352,000 for the assets, of which $12,000,000 was to be paid to the Sellers at closing, $40,000 was to be paid to the Sellers within 10 days after the closing and the remaining $312,000 will be paid to the Sellers on the first anniversary of the closing. The closing of the Fat Patty’s Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2018, however, as discussed below, the Company entered into a separate related agreement with a third party that resulted in a direct transfer of the Properties (as defined below) from the Sellers to the third party. Accordingly, in substance, the Company only acquired the net assets detailed below for a purchase price of $852,000.

In connection with the Fat Patty’s Acquisition, the Company entered into a secured convertible promissory note with Seenu G. Kasturi on August 30, 2018 pursuant to which the Company borrowed $622,929 from Mr. Kasturi to help finance the Fat Patty’s Acquisition. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable by the Company in full on the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of the note, or (ii) the date that Mr. Kasturi demands repayment in full by providing written notice thereof to the Company. Interest accrues at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and is payable in full on the maturity date. Mr. Kasturi has the right, at any time during the term of the note and from time to time, to convert all of any portion of the outstanding principal of the note, together with accrued and unpaid interest payable thereon, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $1.36 per share. The note is secured by all of the assets of the Company.

 

Also on August 3, 2018, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Store Capital”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of the real property acquired in the Fat Patty’s Acquisition to Store Capital (the “Property Acquisition”). The real property consists of the four properties upon which the restaurants acquired in the Asset Acquisition are located (collectively, the “Properties”). Store Capital agreed to pay the Company $11,500,000 for the Properties at closing. Title to the Properties was transferred directly from the applicable Sellers to Store Capital, and the purchase price for the Properties was paid by Store Capital directly to Sellers. Accordingly, the Company never took title to, or ownership of, the Properties. As a result, the ultimate purchase price paid by the Company was $852,000, which was the difference between the $12,352,000 purchase price for the assets that the Company agreed to pay to the Sellers and the $11,500,000 purchase price for the Properties that was paid by Store Capital. The closing of the Property Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2018.

 

In connection with the Property Acquisition, the Company entered into a master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) with Store Capital on August 30, 2018 pursuant to which the Company leased each of the Properties from Store Capital. The initial term of the lease expires on August 31, 2038. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for four additional successive periods of five years each. The aggregate base annual rent is $876,875 and is subject to annual increases commencing September 1, 2019 in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 1.75%, or (ii) 1.25 times the change in the Consumer Price Index. The Company is responsible for all costs and obligations relating to the Properties.

 

The acquisition of Fat Patty’s was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the Company considered the acquirer of Fat Patty’s. In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been measured at fair value based on a report issued by a third-party valuation firm with the remaining purchase price, if any, recorded as goodwill.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value, where applicable, of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) has been applied, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is an exit price and is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The Company incurred $82,929 of acquisition-related transaction costs. Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. Accordingly, the Company recognized $82,929 of acquisition-related transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2018. The acquisition-related transaction costs were recorded in general and administrative expenses.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were comprised of the following:

 

Cash  $7,100 
Inventory   91,424 
Intangible assets   788,840 
Equipment   614,295 
Total assets acquired   1,501,659 
      
Gift card liabilities   (24,707)
Total liabilities assumed   (24,707)
      
Gain on bargain purchase   (624,952)
Net assets acquired with note payable and deferred compensation liability  $852,000 

 

The estimates of fair values recorded are Level 3 inputs that have been determined by management based upon various market and income analyses and recent asset appraisals. The Company made certain adjustments to the amounts initially allocated to intangible assets and gift card liabilities after evaluating additional information that was present on the date the acquisition was completed.

 

The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $1,476,952 exceeded the purchase price of Fat Patty’s by $624,952. Consequently, the Company reassessed the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and concluded that the valuation procedures and resulting measures were appropriate. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $624,952 during the year ended December 31, 2018 in connection with the acquisition. The Sellers of Fat Patty’s received cash without any earnouts or indemnification holdbacks, which was the primary motivation for the sale of Fat Patty’s. This was the primary reason the acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase. The gain was recorded in the other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The following table summarizes certain financial information for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 contained in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and certain unaudited pro forma financial information for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 as if the acquisition of Fat Patty’s had occurred on January 1, 2018:

Note 8. Intangible Assets

 

The Company acquired various intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Fat Patty’s. Intangible assets include a tradename valued at $770,000 and a non-compete agreement valued at $18,840 for a total of $788,840 on August 30, 2018, which is the date the acquisition of Fat Patty’s was completed. The Company amortizes the non-compete agreement on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is five years. The tradename has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization but tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company recognized $2,275 of amortization expense on the non-compete agreement during the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Company had total intangible assets of $786,565 at December 31, 2018.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

 

On December 19, 2016, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Seediv, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Seediv”), from Seenu G. Kasturi for $600,000 and an earn-out payment. Seediv is the owner and operator of the Dick’s Wings & Grill restaurant located at 100 Marketside Avenue, Suite 301, in the Nocatee development in Ponte Vedra, Florida (the “Nocatee Restaurant”) and the Dick’s Wings & Grill restaurant located at 6055 Youngerman Circle in Argyle Village in Jacksonville, Florida (the “Youngerman Circle Restaurant”; together with the Nocatee Restaurant, the “Nocatee and Youngerman Circle Restaurants”).

 

In connection with the acquisition of Seediv, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration in the form of an earn-out payment. The Company determined that the fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration was estimated to be $20,897 at the acquisition date. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted approach derived from earn-out criteria estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the earn-out criteria. The measurement was based upon significant inputs not observable in the market, including internal projections and an analysis of the target markets. The resultant probability-weighted contingent consideration was discounted using a discount rate based upon the weighted-average cost of capital.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company calculated the earnout payment in accordance with the provisions of the membership interest purchase agreement and determined that the earnout payment was $199,682. The Company recognized additional Seediv compensation expense in the amount of $178,785 during the year ended December 31, 2017 in connection with the earnout payment and the liability for the contingent consideration was increased by $178,785 to $199,682 at December 31, 2017. The Company made payments in the amount of $144,326 to Mr. Kasturi with respect to the earnout payment during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company did not make any payments to Mr. Kasturi during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Accordingly, the outstanding balance of contingent consideration was $55,356 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The following table presents the contingent consideration recorded by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Seediv within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
September 30, 2019  $   $55,356   $ 
December 31, 2018  $   $55,356   $ 

 

The earnout payment was to be calculated based on the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the Nocatee and Youngerman Circle Restaurants during the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the EBITDA for the Nocatee and Youngerman Circle Restaurants was utilized to compute the ending contingent consideration liability. As a result, the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration represented a Level 2 fair value measurement at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 because it was based on other significant observable inputs.

 

The Company’s other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and ad fund receivables, notes receivable, operating and financing lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The estimated fair values of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts and ad fund receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable (and the related beneficial conversion feature associated with the notes payable) approximate their respective carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the financing and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities approximated their respective carrying amounts as the interest rate used in calculating the right-of-use-assets and liabilities approximated the interest rate on the outstanding debt.

Note 11. Debt Obligations

 

In September 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Blue Victory Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Blue Victory”), pursuant to which Blue Victory agreed to extend a revolving line of credit facility to the Company for up to $1,000,000. In March 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the loan agreement with Blue Victory to reduce the maximum amount of funds available under the credit facility from $1,000,000 to $50,000. The credit facility is unsecured, accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the fifth anniversary of the loan agreement or the occurrence of an event of default. The outstanding principal balance of the credit facility and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon are payable in full on the termination date. All loan requests are subject to approval by Blue Victory. Loans may be prepaid by the Company without penalty and borrowed again at any time prior to the termination date. Blue Victory has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal of the credit facility, together with accrued interest payable thereon, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to: (i) the closing price of the common stock on the date immediately preceding the conversion date if the common stock is then listed on the OTCQB or a national securities exchange, (ii) the average of the most recent bid and ask prices on the date immediately preceding the conversion date if the common stock is then listed on any of the tiers of the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or (iii) in all other cases, the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the Company and Blue Victory. The Company did not borrow any funds under the credit facility during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, and there was no principal outstanding under the credit facility at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

These judgments, together with accrued interest of $2,369 thereon, resulted in a total loss from legal proceedings of $197,116 during the year ended December 25, 2011. The Company had not paid any part of the judgment or the accrued interest thereon. As a result, the loss was reflected in settlement agreements payable at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2016, Santander Bank informed the Company that certain assets of Ritz Aviation had been sold for $82,642 and that the proceeds from the sale were applied towards the balance of the damages being sought, resulting in an outstanding balance of damages sought of $111,539. The outstanding balance of damages sought was reflected in accrued legal contingency at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Interest expense in the amount of $1,974 and $5,856 accrued on the outstanding balance of the accrued legal contingency during the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Note 19. Segment Reporting

 

The Company has two reportable segments, which are Company-owned restaurants and franchise operations.

 

Company-Owned Restaurants

 

Company-owned restaurants consist of several brands that are aggregated into one reportable segment because of the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the nature of the regulatory environment, and store level profit margin for each of the brands are similar. The brands are Dick’s Wings and Grill and Fat Patty’s. All Company-owned restaurants are casual dining restaurants. There were a total of eight and nine company-owned restaurants at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Franchise Operations

 

The Company only offers franchises for the Dick’s Wings brand. All franchised restaurants are casual dining restaurants. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Dick’s Wings brand and system of restaurants. The Company enters into franchise agreements with franchisees to build and operate restaurants using the Dicks Wings brand within a defined geographic area. The agreements have a 10-year term and can be renewed for one additional 10-year term.

 

In exchange for royalty payments, advertising funds, franchise fees and area development fees, the Company provides the franchisees with the use of its Dick’s Wings trademarks and Dick’s Wings system, which includes uniform operating procedures, standards for consistency and quality of products, technical knowledge, and procedures for accounting, inventory control and management. The Company also provides franchisees with assistance with site selection, prototypical architectural plans, interior and exterior design and layout, training, marketing and sales techniques, and restaurant openings. Franchisees generally remit royalty payments weekly for the prior week’s sales. Franchise fees and area development fees are paid upon the signing of the related franchise agreements.

 

Franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in compliance with their franchise agreements, which includes adherence to operating and quality control standards, procedures and specifications established by the Company. Franchisees are evaluated regularly by the Company for compliance with their franchise agreements through the use of periodic, unannounced, on-site inspections and standard evaluation reports.

 

The Company is not required to provide loans, leases, or guarantees to franchisees or the franchisees’ employees and vendors. If a franchisee becomes financially distressed, the Company is not required to provide financial assistance. If financial distress leads to insolvency of the franchisee or the filing of a petition by or against the franchisee under bankruptcy laws, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the franchise at fair value as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the Company.

 

There were a total of 16 and 17 franchised restaurants at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 20. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company is restating its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 to correct an error related to the manner by which it recorded $92,638 and $204,378, respectively, of food discounts provided to customers and complimentary meals provided to employees. The Company recorded each of these items as an increase to restaurant operating costs – other operating expenses rather than as a reduction to restaurant sales on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result, restaurant sales and restaurant operating costs – other operating expenses were each overstated by $92,638 and $204,378 during the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 for the sole purpose of reducing restaurant sales and restaurant operating costs – other operating expenses by $92,638 and $204,378, respectively.

On October 11, 2019, the Company and ARC WingHouse, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ARC WingHouse”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Soaring Wings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Soaring Wings”), Soaring Wings HQ, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Soaring Wings HQ”), Soaring Wings Advertising, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Soaring Wings Advertising”), Soaring Wings IP, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Soaring Wings IP”), and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Soaring Wings that own and operate all of the Restaurants (as defined below) (the “WH Operating Entities”).

The closing of the Acquisition occurred on October 11, 2019 (the “Closing Date”).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Sellers are the owners and operators of the WingHouse Bar and Grill restaurant concept (the “WingHouse Concept”), which is comprised of 24 WingHouse Bar and Grill restaurants (the “Restaurants”). Purchasers agreed to pay the Sellers a total of $18,000,000 as adjusted pursuant to a working capital adjustment (the “Purchase Price”), and to assume, satisfy and discharge certain assumed liabilities. On the Closing Date, ARC WingHouse paid $11,000,000 to the Sellers and delivered to Sellers a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Purchaser Note”). The Purchaser Note accrues interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum. The Purchaser Note is due and payable in a single payment on the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the first anniversary of the date of the Purchaser Note, (ii) the merger or sale of substantially all the membership interest or assets of ARC WingHouse, and (iii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ARC WingHouse. In addition, ARC WingHouse delivered to SW WH Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SW WH Holdings”), an equity interest in ARC WingHouse representing a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in ARC WingHouse (the “Equity Interest”). The Company also agreed to deliver to Soaring Wings shares (the “ARC Stock”) of the Company’s common stock on each of the first three anniversaries of the Closing Date. The number of shares of common stock to be delivered on each anniversary will be equal to the quotient of $1,000,000 divided by the following per share prices: (i) $1.40 per share of common stock on the first anniversary, (ii) 2.00 per share of common stock on the second anniversary, and (iii) $3.00 per share of common stock on the third anniversary (collectively, the “ARC Stock Consideration”). The per share price of the ARC Stock Consideration will be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization. If the ARC Stock is not listed and quoted for trading on the NYSE, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market or NASDAQ Capital Market on any of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Closing (the first such anniversary referred to as a “Listing Failure Anniversary”), then ARC WingHouse will pay $1,000,000 cash to Soaring Wings on the Listing Failure Anniversary and each anniversary of the Closing after a Listing Failure Anniversary (if any), ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to deliver the ARC Stock Consideration to Soaring Wings on the Listing Failure Anniversary and each anniversary thereafter, ending on the 3rd anniversary (the “Contingent Cash Consideration”). Notwithstanding the existence of a Listing Failure Anniversary, Soaring Wings may, in its sole discretion, elect to receive ARC Stock on the Listing Failure Anniversary and/or any anniversary after the Listing Failure Anniversary in lieu of a $1,000,000 cash payment by providing ARC WingHouse with written notice no less than 30 days before the Listing Failure Anniversary or subsequent anniversary, as applicable. The ARC Stock Consideration is subject to the terms of a Put Agreement (as defined below), and Sellers were granted customary piggy-back registration rights with respect to the ARC Stock Consideration.

For the purposes hereof, “Put Deadline” means the later of (y) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (z) 12 months following the date on which the Company provides written notice to Soaring Wings that: (i) it has indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full the Loan (as defined below), (ii) Soaring Wings is not restricted from exercising its rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, or otherwise, and (iii) the Company has legally sufficient funds to pay the Put Payment in full.

All of the financial information presented herein has been revised to reflect the restatement of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 as more fully described in Note 20. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Overview

 

We were formed in April 2000 to develop the Dick’s Wings restaurant franchise, and are the owner, operator and franchisor of the Dick’s Wings brand of restaurants. Our Dick’s Wings franchise is currently comprised of 20 restaurants and three concession stands located in the States of Florida and Georgia. Dick’s Wings offers a variety of boldly-flavored menu items highlighted by our Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings spun in our signature sauces and seasonings. We offer our customers a casual, family-fun restaurant environment designed to appeal to both families and sports fans alike. At Dick’s Wings, we strive to provide our customers with a unique and enjoyable experience from first bite to last call.

 

On August 30, 2018, we acquired the Fat Patty’s restaurant concept (“Fat Patty’s”). Fat Patty’s is comprised of four restaurants located in West Virginia and Kentucky. Fat Patty’s offers a variety of specialty burgers and sandwiches, wings, appetizers, salads, wraps, and steak and chicken dinners in a family friendly, sports-oriented environment designed to appeal to a mix of families, students, professors, locals, and visitors. A description of the transaction is set forth herein under Note 4. Acquisition of Fat Patty’s in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 30, 2018, we entered into an agreement to acquire the Tilted Kilt Eatery and Pub® restaurant franchise (“Tilted Kilt”). The Tilted Kilt franchise is currently comprised of 26 restaurants located in 13 states, of which two are company owned and operated and the remaining 24 are franchise locations. It offers dinner entrees, traditional pub food, hamburgers, and salads made with fresh, quality ingredients, accompanied by full bar service, served up by uniquely kilt-clad wait staff in a lively, Celtic-themed atmosphere with numerous large screen televisions featuring sports programming. A description of the transaction is set forth herein under Note 5. Agreement to Acquire Tilted Kilt in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 C:

On October 11, 2019, we acquired the WingHouse Bar & Grill restaurant concept (“WingHouse”). WingHouse is currently comprised of 24 restaurants located in Florida, all of which are company owned and operated. It offers a variety of chicken wings, appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches & wraps, tacos, seafood options and desserts. A description of the transaction is set forth herein under Note 21. Subsequent Events in our condensed consolidated financial statements

 

Strategy

 

Our plan is to grow our company into a diversified restaurant holding company operating a portfolio of premium restaurant brands. We intend to focus on developing brands that offer a variety of high-quality food and beverages in a distinctive, casual, high-energy atmosphere in a diverse set of markets across the United States.

 

The first major component of our growth strategy is the continued development and expansion of our Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse brands. Key elements of our strategy include strengthening the brands, developing new menu items, lowering our costs, improving our operations and service, driving customer satisfaction, and opening new restaurants in new and existing markets in the United States. We believe there are meaningful opportunities to grow the number of Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants in the United States and have implemented a rigorous and disciplined approach to increasing the number of company-owned and franchised restaurants. In our existing markets, we plan to continue to open new restaurants until a market is penetrated to a point that will enable us to gain marketing, operational, cost and other efficiencies. In new markets, we plan to open several restaurants at a time to quickly build brand awareness.

 

The other major component of our growth strategy is the acquisition of controlling and non-controlling financial interests in other restaurant brands offering us product and geographic diversification, like our recent acquisitions of Fat Patty’s and WingHouse and our proposed acquisition of Tilted Kilt. We plan to complete, and are actively seeking, potential mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic initiatives through which we can acquire or develop additional restaurant brands. We are seeking brands offering proprietary menu items that emphasize the preparation of food with high quality ingredients, as well as unique recipes and special seasonings to provide appealing, tasty, convenient and attractive food at competitive prices. As we acquire complementary brands, we intend to develop a scalable infrastructure that will help us expand our margins as we execute upon our growth strategy. Benefits of this infrastructure may include centralized support services for all of our brands, including marketing, menu development, human resources, legal, accounting and information systems. Additional benefits may include the ability to cost effectively employ advertising and marketing agencies for all of our brands, and efficiencies associated with being able to utilize a single distribution model for all of our restaurants. Accordingly, this structure should enable us to leverage our scale and share best practices across key functional areas that are common to all of our brands.

Outlook

 

We expect our revenue to increase during the next 12 months as we generate sales through our company-owned restaurants, continue to improve the operations of our existing Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants and open new Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants. We also expect our revenue to increase as a result of our pending acquisition of Tilted Kilt and as we acquire additional interests in other restaurant brands and potentially non-restaurant brands and assets. We expect to begin generating net income during the next 12 months as we generate increasing revenue from operations through our new and existing company-owned and franchised restaurants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we complete additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other brands through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives, such as our recently completed acquisitions of Fat Patty’s and WingHouse and our pending acquisition of Tilted Kilt, our financial results will include and reflect the financial results of the target entities. Accordingly, the completion of any such transactions in the future may have a substantial beneficial or negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Revenue

 

Revenue consists primarily of proceeds from the sale of food and beverage products by our company-owned restaurants and concession stands, and royalty payments, franchise fees and ad fund fees that we receive from our franchisees. Revenue increased $1,682,580 to $4,042,644 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $2,360,064 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $1,682,580 was due to an increase of $1,698,784 for sales of food and beverage products by our company-owned restaurants, partially offset by a decrease of $16,204 for franchise and other revenue. The increase in sales of food and beverage products was attributable to increases of $1,073,691 for sales of food and beverages at the restaurants we acquired through our acquisition of Fat Patty’s and $625,093 for sales of food and beverages at our other company-owned restaurants and concession stands. We expect revenue to increase during the next 12 months as we improve the operations of our existing Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants and open new Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants. We expect revenue to increase further as a result of our pending acquisition of Tilted Kilt and as we acquire additional interests in other restaurant brands and potentially non-restaurant brands and assets.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses consist of restaurant operating costs, professional fees, employee compensation expense, and general and administrative expenses.

Restaurant Operating Costs. Restaurant operating costs consist of cost of sales, labor, occupancy and other operating expenses that we incur in connection with the operation of our Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse company-owned restaurants and concession stands.

We expect our restaurant operating costs to increase during the next 12 months as we open new Dick’s Wings, Fat Patty’s and WingHouse restaurants.

Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of fees paid to attorneys, independent accountants, investment banks and placement agents, technology consultants and other professionals and consultants.

The decrease of $319,780 was due primarily to decreases of $244,598 for stock compensation paid to investment banks and other firms and $24,683 for legal fees. We expect our professional fees to continue to increase during the next 12 months as we incur increased legal, accounting, investment banking, technology and consulting fees in connection with the general expansion of our business and operations and our compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Employee Compensation Expense. Employee compensation expense consists of salaries, hourly wages, bonuses and other cash compensation, equity-based compensation and employee benefits paid or granted to our executive officers and non-restaurant employees, and the related payroll taxes.

The increase of $238,496 was due primarily to an increase of $135,334 for salaries paid to executive officers and other non-restaurant employees and $53,819 for stock compensation expense.

The increase of $28,429 was due primarily to an increase of $40,326 for marketing and advertising expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $21,900 for investor relations expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to increase during the next 12 months as we incur increasing expenses for our ad fund, marketing and advertising, investor relations, travel, rent, office supplies, insurance and other miscellaneous items associated with the general growth of our business and operations.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense consists of the interest that we record under the master lease agreement that we entered into with Store Capital on August 30, 2018 in connection with the acquisition of Fat Patty’s, our outstanding debt obligations, and our outstanding settlement agreements payable and accrued legal contingencies. Interest expense increased $136,953 to $211,211 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $74,258 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $136,953 was due primarily to an increase of $116,768 for interest that we recognized under our master lease agreement with Store Capital. We expect interest expense to continue to increase during the next 12 months due to the debt we incurred in connection with our acquisition of WingHouse.

 

Gain on Bargain Purchase Option

 

Gain on bargain purchase option consists of the gain that we recognized in connection with the acquisition of Fat Patty’s on August 30, 2018. The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $1,477,193 exceeded the purchase price of Fat Patty’s by $624,952. As a result, we recognized a gain of $624,952 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. We did not recognize any gain on bargain purchase option during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. We do not expect to recognize any additional gains on bargain purchase options during the next 12 months. A description of the bargain purchase option is set forth herein under Note 4 – Acquisition of Fat Patty’s in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss

 

We generated a net loss of $597,514 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income of $97,467 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The difference of $694,981 was due primarily to increases of $1,687,942 for restaurant operating costs, $238,496 for employee compensation expense and $136,953 for interest expense, and a decrease of $624,952 for gain on bargain purchase option. This was partially offset by an increase of $1,682,580 for revenue and a decrease of $319,780 for professional fees. We expect to begin generating net income during the next 12 months as we generate increasing revenue from operations through our new and existing company-owned and franchised restaurants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we complete additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other brands through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives, such as our recently completed acquisitions of Fat Patty’s and WingHouse and our pending acquisition of Tilted Kilt, our financial results will include and reflect the financial results of the target entities. Accordingly, the completion of any such transactions in the future may have a substantial beneficial or negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased $8,156,617 to $12,820,432 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $4,663,815 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $8,156,617 was due to an increase of $8,278,361 for sales of food and beverage products by our company-owned restaurants, partially offset by a decrease of $121,744 for franchise and other revenue. The increase in sales of food and beverage products was attributable to increases of $6,102,663 for sales of food and beverages at the restaurants we acquired through our acquisition of Fat Patty’s and $2,175,698 for sales of food and beverages at our other company-owned restaurants and concession stands.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Restaurant Operating Costs. Restaurant operating costs increased $8,049,446 to $11,510,555 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3,461,109 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. Restaurant operating costs consisted of $4,447,133 for cost of sales, $4,103,557 for labor expenses, $432,463 for occupancy expenses, and $2,527,402 for other operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Restaurant operating costs consisted of $1,360,529 for cost of sales, $1,222,554 for labor expenses, $171,048 for occupancy expenses, and $706,978 for other operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $8,049,446 was due to increases of $3,235,465 associated with the operation of the restaurants that we acquired through our acquisition of Fat Patty’s and $4,813,981 associated with the operation of our other company-owned restaurants and concession stands.

 

Professional Fees. Professional fees decreased $170,139 to $443,984 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $614,123 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The decrease of $170,139 was due primarily to decreases of $233,453 for stock compensation paid to investment banks and other firms and $68,560 for consulting fees, partially offset by an increase of $142,436 for legal and accounting fees.

 

Employee Compensation Expense. Employee compensation expense increased $559,020 to $973,944 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $414,924 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $559,020 was due primarily to an increase of $360,885 for salaries paid to executive officers and other non-restaurant employees and $115,422 for stock compensation expense.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $158,886 to $878,919 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $720,033 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Interest expense increased $530,866 to $615,997 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $85,131 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $530,866 was due primarily to an increase of $471,229 for interest that we recognized under our master lease agreement with Store Capital.

 

Income From Insurance Proceeds

 

Income from insurance proceeds consists of the insurance proceeds that we received for equipment and other assets that were damaged or destroyed in the fire that occurred on March 25, 2019 at our Fat Patty’s restaurant located at 5156 State Route 34 in Hurricane, West Virginia. We received insurance proceeds in the amount of $766,109 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, of which $181,588 was for equipment and other assets that were damaged or destroyed in the fire. We did not receive any insurance proceeds during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. We expect to receive additional insurance proceeds in connection with the fire that occurred at this restaurant during the next 12 months. A description of the fire is set forth herein under Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies – Teay’s Valley Fire in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Gain on Bargain Purchase Option

 

We recognized a gain of $624,952 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. We did not recognize any gain on bargain purchase option during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. We do not expect to recognize any additional gains on bargain purchase options during the next 12 months. A description of the bargain purchase option is set forth herein under Note 4 – Acquisition of Fat Patty’s in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss

 

We generated a net loss of $1,303,318 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income of $89,550 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The difference of $1,392,868 was due primarily to increases of $8,049,446 for restaurant operating costs, $559,020 for employee compensation expense and $530,866 for interest expense, partially offset by increases of $8,156,617 for revenue.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through cash generated by our operations, private sales of equity securities and the use of short- and long-term debt.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $565,856 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $235,787 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $330,069 was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a decrease in other receivables. This was partially offset by increases in operating expenses.

 

 C:

Net cash used by investing activities was $382,335 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $343,785 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $38,550 for net cash used by investing activities was due primarily to an increase of $250,293 for purchases of fixed assets, partially offset by an increase of $100,000 for insurance recoveries for impaired fixed assets and a decrease of $144,326 for contingent consideration.

 

Net cash used by financing activities was $297,569 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $19,736 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The difference of $317,305 was due to increases of $1,513,884 for repayments of notes payable to related parties, $196,337 for payments on our operating lease liability and $128,234 for payments on our financing lease liability. This was partially offset by an increase of $1,434,476 for proceeds from the issuance of notes payable to related parties and a decrease of $86,674 for payments on our capital lease obligation.

 

Our primary sources of capital since January 1, 2018 are set forth below.

 

We entered into an unsecured loan with Blue Victory Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, during the year ended December 31, 2017. The amount of principal outstanding under the loan was $30,503 at December 31, 2017. We borrowed $277,707 and repaid $71,877 under the loan during the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the amount of principal outstanding under the loan was $236,333 at December 31, 2018. We borrowed $1,540,886 and repaid $1,513,884 under the loan during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Accordingly, the amount of principal outstanding under the loan was $263,335 at September 30, 2019.

 

On August 30, 2018, we entered into a secured convertible promissory note with Seenu G. Kasturi pursuant to which we borrowed $622,929 to help finance the acquisition of Fat Patty’s, all of which was outstanding at September 30, 2019. A description of the note is set forth herein under Note 4. Acquisition of Fat Patty’s in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

To date, our capital needs have been met through cash generated by our operations, sales of our equity securities and the use of short- and long-term debt to fund our operations, including funds that we have borrowed from related parties. We have used these sources of capital to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses that we have incurred to date. These costs and expenses have been comprised primarily of the restaurant operating costs, professional fees, employee compensation expenses, and general and administrative expenses discussed above. We intend to continue to rely upon each of these sources as well as cash generated by WingHouse to fund our operations and expansion efforts, including additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other restaurant brands, during the next 12 months.

 

We can provide no assurance that these sources of capital will be adequate to fund our operations and expansion efforts during the next 12 months. If these sources of capital are not adequate, we will need to obtain additional capital through alternative sources of financing. We may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of short- and long-term debt. If we raise additional funds by issuing shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in the event the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring dividends. In addition, any equity securities or debt that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.

 

 C: 
 57 
   

 

We have not made arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions and our operating performance. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of any proposed future financing transactions unattractive to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, or if such capital cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, we may not be able to pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, take advantage of future acquisition opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated events, or otherwise execute upon our business plan. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and, in the extreme case, cause us to discontinue our operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
