TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT CORP.
1. | Basis of Presentation and Description of Business |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements in its 2004 Form 10-K. The results of the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 27, 2005.
2. | Restatement of Financial Statements |
Following a review of lease accounting and leasehold amortization polices, we determined that it was appropriate to adjust certain of our prior financial statements. As a result, we have restated all of our historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2004. Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, we recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term, with the term commencing on the initial date of the lease agreement. We also used only the initial non-cancelable lease term in the determination of capital leases. We amortized our leasehold improvements and other long-lived assets on those properties over a period that included both the initial non-cancelable lease term and all option periods provided for in the lease (or the useful life of the assets, if shorter). Additionally, tenant allowances received from the lessor were recorded as a reduction of the related leasehold improvements. We now have restated our financial statements to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years). The expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years), is also being utilized in the determination of capital leases. Additionally, the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements for amortization purposes was reduced from twenty years to fifteen years, or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is less. The lease term commences on the date when we have full access to the property. Lease expenses from the date we have full access to the property to the completion of construction are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Tenant allowances are being recorded as accrued rent when received and included as a reduction in the straight-line rent calculation described above. We also had one lease reclassified from operating to capital as a result of these adjustments.
The impact of these adjustments on the condensed consolidated income statements and cash flows for the first quarter of 2004 is shown in the tables below. The Restatement decreased reported diluted net earnings per share by $0.01 in the first quarter of 2004. The Restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported cash balances, sales or same-restaurant sales or on our compliance with any covenant under our credit facility or other debt instruments.

3. | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation |
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Companys common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Companys policy is to grant stock options with grant prices equal to the fair value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant. Proceeds from the exercise of common stock options issued to officers, directors and key employees under the Companys stock option plans are credited to common stock to the extent of par value and to additional paid-in capital for the excess.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123, which also requires the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value of that Statement. The fair value method for these options were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.9% to 5.3%; no dividend yields; volatility factor ranging from 0.281 to 0.853; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. The Companys pro forma information is as follows:

4. | Stock Options |
During the twelve week period ended March 22, 2005, the Company granted to certain key employees stock options for 89,000 shares of Common Stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.84 per share and options to purchase 35,877 shares were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.13 per share pursuant to its 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.
5. | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. The number of weighted averaged shares outstanding for the twelve week periods ended March 22, 2005 and March 23, 2004 were 9,961,247 and 9,850,512, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outsanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at an average price during the reporting period. The number of shares resulting from this computation of diluted earnings per share for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 and March 23, 2004 were 10,392,639 and 10,442,063, respectively.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Anaysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
As of March 22, 2005, the Company owned and operated 77 restaurants under the Fox and Hound Smokehouse & Tavern, Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille, and Fox and Hound Pub & Grille (Fox and Hound), Baileys Smokehouse & Tavern, Baileys Sports Grille and Baileys Pub & Grille (Baileys) brand names. The Companys restaurants offer a broad menu of mid-priced appetizers, entrees, and desserts served in generous portions. In addition, each location features a full-service bar and offers a wide selection of major domestic, imported and specialty beers. Each restaurant emphasizes a high energy environment. Most have multiple billiard tables with satellite and cable coverage of a variety of sporting events and music videos. In addition to our food, the Company believes that customers are attracted to the elegant yet comfortable atmosphere of dark wood interiors, polished brass, embroidered chairs and booths, and etched glass. The Fox and Hound and Baileys restaurants share identical design and operational principles and menus. As of March 22, 2005, the Company owned and operated 59 Fox and Hound restaurants and 18 Baileys restaurants located in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio,
-7-
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. As of March 23, 2004, the Company owned and operated 50 Fox and Hound restaurants and 16 Baileys restaurants.
The components of the Companys net sales are food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other (principally billiard table rental fees). For the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 34.4% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were 58.4% of total sales and entertainment and other were 7.2% of total sales. For the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 33.8% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were 59.0% of total sales and entertainment and other were 7.2% of total sales.
The components of the Companys cost of sales primarily include direct costs of food, non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages. These costs are generally variable and will fluctuate with changes in sales volume and sales mix.
Components of restaurant operating expenses include operating payroll and fringe benefits, and occupancy, maintenance and utilities. All but one of the Companys locations are leased and provide for a minimum annual rent, with some leases calling for additional rent based on sales volume at the particular location in excess of specified minimum sales levels.
Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation and amortization of capital expenditures for restaurants.
Preopening costs include labor costs, costs of hiring and training personnel and certain other costs relating to opening new restaurants.
General and administrative expenses include all corporate and administrative functions that support existing operations and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. Management, supervisory and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, information systems, training, rent and office supplies as well as accounting services fees are major items of costs in this category.
In calculating comparable restaurant sales, the Company includes a restaurant in the comparable restaurant base after it has been in operation for 18 full months. As of March 22, 2005, there were 60 restaurants in the comparable restaurant base. Annualized average weekly sales are computed by dividing net sales during the period by the number of store operating weeks and multiplying the result by 52.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated (i) the percentages which certain items included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations bear to net sales, and (ii) other selected operating data. The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending the last Tuesday in December. Fiscal years 2005 and 2004 consist of 52 weeks. Fiscal quarters consist of three accounting periods of 12 weeks each and a final period of 16 or 17 weeks.

Twelve Weeks Ended March 22, 2005 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended March 23, 2004
Net sales increased $5,508,000 (16.3%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $39,355,000 from $33,847,000 for the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004. This increase was due to a 16.4% increase in store weeks (907 versus 779) as a result of 11 restaurants opening since March 23, 2004 and a relatively flat annualized average weekly sales for units open during the entire period. Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.6% for the quarter ended March 22, 2005.
Costs of sales increased $1,286,000 (14.1%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $10,402,000 from $9,116,000 in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 26.5% from 26.9%. This decrease is principally attributable to an increase in menu prices during the quarter.
Restaurant operating expenses increased $3,021,000 (17.8%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $20,004,0000 from $16,983,000 in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 50.8% from 50.2%. This increase as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to higher occupancy costs on new units and higher utility expense.
Depreciation and amortization increased $361,000 (20.8%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $2,096,000 from $1,735,000 in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004, and increased as a percentage of sales to 5.3% from 5.1%. This increase in expense is due to additional depreciation on 11 restaurants opened since March 23, 2004.
Preopening costs decreased $39,000 (9.0%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $393,000 from $432,000 in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004. These costs are attributable to two units that opened during the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 and partial preopening expenses for three restaurants which have yet to open. Two restaurants were opened in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004.
General and administrative expenses increased $273,000 (15.6%) for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 to $2,018,000 from $1,745,000 in the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004, and remained consistent as a percentage of net sales at 5.1%.
Interest expense was $49,000 for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 and $52,000 for the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004. This decrease is due to a lower average balance which was partially offset by a higher average interest rate applicable to the revolving note payable in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year.
The effective income tax rate was 32.0% for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2005 and 30.3% for the twelve weeks ended March 23, 2004. The increase is primarily due to the impact of the credit for social security taxes paid on tips in excess of minimum wage relative to the amount of estimated annual income before income taxes.
Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation
The timing of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly results. The Company expects seasonality to be a factor in the results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors affecting the Companys operations include food, liquor and labor costs. A large number of the Companys restaurant personnel are tipped employees who are paid at the federal subminimum wage level; therefore, future subminimum wage changes will have a significant effect on labor costs. As costs of food and labor have increased, the Company has historically been able to offset these increases through economies of scale, improved operating procedures and menu price changes; however, short-term fluctuations in raw product pricing may have an impact on the Companys costs of food. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As is customary in the restaurant industry, the Company operates with negative working capital. Negative working capital increased $893,000 to $7,129,000 as of March 22, 2005 from $6,236,000 as of December 28, 2004. This increase is attributable primarily to payments on the line of credit and cost of purchases of property and equipment in excess of cash provided by operations. Cash decreased $112,000 to $700,000 at March 22, 2005 compared to the balance of $812,000 at December 28, 2004. The Company does not have significant receivables or inventory and receives trade credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies. Because funds

available from cash sales are not needed immediately to pay for food and supplies, or to finance inventory, they may be considered as a source of financing for noncurrent capital expenditures.
On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Intrust Bank, N.A. (the Line of Credit) which provides for a line of credit of $20,000,000 subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the past fifty-two weeks and the amount of capital lease obligations on personal property. The Line of Credit is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. The Line of Credit requires monthly payments of interest only until November 1, 2006, at which time equal monthly installments of principal and interest are required as necessary to fully amortize the outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a period of four years. Interest is accrued at 1/2% below the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the Line of Credit are being used for restaurant development. As of March 22, 2005 the Company had borrowed $1,445,000 under the Line of Credit. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants.
Cash flows from operations were $5,851,000 in the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2005 compared to $3,977,000 in the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2004. Purchases of property and equipment were $3,839,000 in the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2005 compared to $3,752,000 in the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2004. Net payments on the revolving note payable to bank were $2,235,000 for the 12 week period ending March 22, 2005 compared to $300,000 for the 12 weeks ending March 23, 2004.
The Company intends to open ten to twelve new locations in fiscal year 2005 and twelve to fifteen new locations in fiscal year 2006. At March 22, 2005, two units had been opened in fiscal 2005, five units were under construction, contracts had been executed on four additional sites, and contract negotiations had begun on one additional site. The Company is currently evaluating locations in markets familiar to its management team. However, the number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon the ability of the Company to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases. The Company expects to expend approximately $22 to $25 million to open new locations over the next twelve months.
The Company believes the funds available from the Line of Credit and its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in the Companys operating plans, the acceleration or modification of the Companys expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, stock repurchases, potential acquisitions or other events will not cause the Company to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated, prevent the Company from achieving the goals of its expansion strategy or prevent any newly opened locations from operating profitably. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

Item 4. Procedures and Controls
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company has implemented additional review procedures over the selection and monitoring of appropriate assumptions and factors affecting lease and depreciation accounting to remediate the material weakness identified in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K/A for the period ending December 28, 2004 related to the Companys selection, monitoring and review of factors and assumptions affecting lease and depreciation accounting. There were no other significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
