Notes:
(1) During the first quarter of our fiscal
year 2019, our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), was
damaged by a fire which has caused it to be closed since the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Store #19 remains closed through July
3, 2021.
(2) We
operate a restaurant for one (1) franchisee. This unit is included in the table both as a franchised restaurant, as well as a restaurant
operated by us.
In March 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus was declared
a global pandemic and a National Public Health Emergency. The novel coronavirus pandemic and related “shelter-in-place” orders
and other governmental mandates relating thereto (collectively, “COVID-19”) adversely affected and will, in all likelihood
continue to adversely affect, our restaurant operations and financial results for the foreseeable future. Throughout the third quarter
of our fiscal year 2021, in accordance with guidance from health officials, we have offered both indoor and outdoor food and bar options
at all of our restaurants, with, among other precautions appropriate social distancing and mask requirements for all customers and employees.
Franchise
Financial Arrangement: In exchange for our providing management and related services to our franchisees and granting them the right
to use our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and “Big Daddy’s Liquors”, our franchisees
(four (4) of which are franchised to members of the family of our Chairman of the Board, officers and/or directors), are required to (i)
pay to us a royalty equal to 1% of gross package store sales and 3% of gross restaurant sales; and (ii) make advertising expenditures
equal to between 1.5% to 3% of all gross sales based upon our actual advertising costs allocated between stores, pro-rata, based upon
gross sales.
Limited Partnership
Financial Arrangement: We manage and control the operations of all restaurants owned by limited partnerships, except the Fort Lauderdale,
Florida restaurant which is owned by a related franchisee. Accordingly, the results of operations of all limited partnership owned restaurants,
except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are consolidated into our operations for accounting purposes. The results of operations
of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are accounted for by us utilizing the equity method of accounting. In general, until the investors’
cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us and our affiliates) is returned in full, the limited partnership
distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant up to 25% of the cash invested in the
limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership
distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee, with the balance distributed to the investors.
Once the investors in the limited partnership have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee is
payable to us equal to one-half (½) of cash available to the limited partnership, with the other one half (½) of available cash
distributed to the investors (including us and our affiliates). As of July 3, 2021, all limited partnerships have returned all cash invested
and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited partnership.
In addition to receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of
the service mark “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill”.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks
Ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020.
Revenues.
Total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $14,272,000 or 60.31% to $37,935,000 from
$23,663,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 due primarily to increased package liquor store and restaurant sales, increased
menu prices and the comparatively more adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 as
compared with the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. Effective December 6, 2020 and then effective April 11, 2021 we increased menu prices
for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 2.45% and 4.60% annually, respectively, to offset higher
food costs and higher overall expenses. Effective November 29, 2020 we increased menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase
to our bar revenues of approximately 1.83% annually. Prior to these increases, we previously raised menu prices in the third quarter of
our fiscal year 2019. We expect that Store #19 (2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida) will remain closed during our fiscal year
2021 due to damages caused by a fire on October 2, 2018 and accordingly do not expect to generate any revenue from it.
Restaurant
Food Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including
non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants totaled $23,484,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $14,514,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase in restaurant food sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared
to restaurant food sales during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 is attributable to menu price increases and the comparatively more
adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 as compared with the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 2021. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales (for restaurants open for
all of the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us, (excluding
Store #19 which was closed for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 due to a fire on October 2, 2018) and
eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $1,789,000 and $1,112,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and
June 27, 2020, respectively, an increase of 60.88%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company owned restaurants only was $893,000
and $547,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 63.25%. Comparable weekly restaurant
food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $896,000 and $565,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021
and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 58.58%.
Restaurant
Bar Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $5,617,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $1,630,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase in restaurant bar
sales during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 is primarily due to the comparatively more adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations
during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 as compared with the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021, offset by the 2021 Price Increases
and 2020 Price Increases. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales (for restaurants
open for all of the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us,
(excluding Store #19 which was closed for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 due to a fire on October 2, 2018),
and eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $432,000
for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and $125,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase of 245.60%. Comparable
weekly restaurant bar sales for Company owned restaurants only was $188,000 and $50,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and
June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 276.00%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants
only was $244,000 and $75,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 225.33%.
Package
Store Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $8,082,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $7,099,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase of $983,000. This increase
was primarily due to increased package liquor store traffic due to what appears to be continued increased demand for package liquor store
products resulting from COVID-19. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes nine (9) Company-owned package
liquor stores, (excluding Store #19, which was closed for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 due to a fire on October
2, 2018, but includes Store #45, which opened for business on October 10, 2019), was $622,000 and $546,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 13.92%.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating
costs and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative
expenses), for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $10,931,000 or 44.81% to $35,326,000 from $24,395,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase was primarily due to payroll and an expected general increase in food costs, offset by actions
taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We anticipate that our operating costs and expenses will continue to increase through
our fiscal year 2021 for the same reasons. Operating costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 93.12%
in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021 from 103.09% in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is calculated
by subtracting the cost of merchandise sold from sales.
Restaurant
Food Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food and bar sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased to $19,137,000
from $10,756,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated as
gross profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), was 65.76% for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 66.63%
for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. Gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales decreased during the third quarter
of our fiscal year 2021 when compared to the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020 due to higher food costs, offset among other things
by the menu price increases.
Package
Store Sales. Gross profit for package store sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased to $2,171,000 from $1,856,000
for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, due primarily to increased package liquor store traffic which we believe is due to
what appears to be continued increased demand caused by COVID-19. Our gross profit
margin, (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales), for package store sales was 26.86% for the
thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 26.14% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Payroll and Related Costs. Payroll and
related costs for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $4,635,000 or 58.57% to $12,548,000 from $7,913,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended June 27, 2020. Payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 were higher due primarily to increased
performance bonuses, increased hours and higher costs for employees such as cooks. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total
revenue was 33.08% in the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 33.44% of total revenue in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs (consisting
of percentage rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes, amortization of leasehold purchases and rent expense associated
with operating lease liabilities under ASC 842) for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $6,000 or 0.36% to $1,651,000 from
$1,645,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. The limited increase in occupancy costs was primarily due to the termination of
rent for our combination retail package liquor store and restaurant located at 5450 N. State Road 7, North Lauderdale, Florida (Store
#40), the real property and improvements of which we purchased on December 31, 2020 and the elimination of occupancy costs due to the
elimination of rent for our restaurant location which we are developing located at 14301 West Sunrise Boulevard, Sunrise, Florida (Store
#85), the real property and improvements of which we purchased on March 2, 2021. We anticipate that our occupancy costs will decrease
throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2021 for the same reason.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but not limited to advertising, insurance,
professional costs, clerical and administrative overhead) for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $1,046,000 or 24.87% to
$5,252,000 from $4,206,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage
of total revenue in the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 to 13.84% as compared to 17.77% in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. We
anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue will decrease throughout the balance
of our fiscal year 2021 due primarily to increases in total revenue when compared to the balance of our fiscal year 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation
and amortization expense for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 decreased $38,000 or 4.70% to $770,000 from $808,000 from the thirteen
weeks ended June 27, 2020. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.03% of revenue in the thirteen
weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 3.41% of revenue in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense,
net, for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $14,000 to $210,000 from $196,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Interest expense, net, increased for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 due to interest on our borrowing of $2,200,000 during the second
quarter of our fiscal year 2021 from an unrelated third party lender used to finance our purchase of the real property and improvements
located at 14301 West Sunrise Boulevard, Sunrise, Florida (Store #85) (the “$2.2 Million Borrowing”) and the borrowing by
six of our limited partnerships of an additional approximately $3.35 million of 2nd PPP Loans during the second quarter of
our fiscal year 2021. Interest expense, net, will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2021 due to (i) the $2.2 Million
Borrowing; (ii) our borrowing of $4,300,000 during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021 from an unrelated third party lender to re-finance
our mortgage loan of our property located at 13105 – 13205 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami, Florida (Store #20); and (iii) the borrowing
by certain of our limited partnerships of an additional $3.35 million of 2nd PPP Loans during the second quarter of our fiscal
year 2021, if not forgiven.
Income Taxes. Income tax for the thirteen
weeks ended July 3, 2021 was an expense of $475,000, as compared to a benefit of $53,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. Income
tax for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021 was not affected by the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans, pursuant to
the terms of the PPP Loans.
Net Income (Loss). Net income for the
thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $9,284,000 or 1,075.78% to $8,421,000 from a loss of $863,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
June 27, 2020 due primarily to the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans and increased revenue at our retail package liquor
stores and restaurants, offset by higher food costs and overall expenses. As a percentage of revenue, net income for the thirteen weeks
ended July 3, 2021 is 22.20%, as compared to (3.65%) in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Stockholders.
Net income attributable to stockholders for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $7,654,000 or 1,682.20% to $7,199,000 from
a loss of $455,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020 due primarily to the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans and
increased revenue at our retail package liquor stores and restaurants, offset by higher food costs and overall expenses. As a percentage
of revenue, net income attributable to stockholders for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021 is 18.98%, as compared to (1.92%) in
the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020.
Comparison
of Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020.
Revenues.
Total revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $18,940,000 or 22.35% to $103,672,000
from $84,732,000 for the thirty-nine ended June 27, 2020 due primarily to increased package liquor store and restaurant sales, increased
menu prices and the comparatively more adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020
as compared with the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021. We expect that Store #19 (2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida) will
remain closed during our fiscal year 2021 due to damages caused by a fire on October 2, 2018 and accordingly do not expect to generate
any revenue from it.
Restaurant
Food Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including
non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants totaled $62,501,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $51,469,000 for
the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase in restaurant food sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 as
compared to restaurant food sales during the thirty-nine ended June 27, 2020 is attributable to menu price increases and the comparatively
more adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 as compared with the thirty-nine weeks
ended July 3, 2021. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales (for restaurants
open for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us, (excluding
Store #19 which was closed for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, due to a fire on October
2, 2018) and eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was
$1,590,000 and $1,310,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 21.37%. Comparable
weekly restaurant food sales for Company owned restaurants only was $787,000 and $660,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021
and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 19.24%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned
restaurants only was $803,000 and $650,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of
23.54%.
Restaurant
Bar Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $15,110,00 for the
thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $12,836,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase in restaurant
bar sales during the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 is primarily due to menu price increases, offset by the comparatively more adverse
effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 as compared with the thirty-nine weeks ended July
3, 2021. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales (for restaurants open for the
thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, which consists of nine restaurants owned by us, (excluding Store #19 which
was closed for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 due to a fire on October 2, 2018), and
eight restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $387,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and $329,000 for
the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 17.63%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company owned
restaurants only was $165,000 and $149,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, an increase of
10.74%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $222,000 and $180,000 for
the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, an increase of 23.33%.
Package
Store Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $23,923,000 for the
thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 as compared to $18,833,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase of $5,090,000.
This increase was primarily due to increased package liquor store traffic due to what appears to be continued increased demand for package
store products caused by COVID-19 . The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes nine (9) Company-owned
package liquor stores, (excluding Store #19, which was closed for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively
due to a fire on October 2, 2018, but includes Store #45, which opened for business on October 10, 2019), was $613,000 and $483,000 for
the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 respectively, an increase of 26.92%.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating
costs and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative
expenses), for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $14,284,000 or 17.27% to $97,000,000 from $82,716,000 for the thirty-nine
weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase was primarily due to payroll and an expected general increase in food costs, offset by actions
taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We anticipate that our operating costs and expenses will continue to increase through
our fiscal year 2021 for the same reasons. Operating costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 93.56%
in the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 from 97.62% in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is calculated
by subtracting the cost of merchandise sold from sales.
Restaurant
Food Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food and bar sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased to $51,663,000
from $42,593,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated
as gross profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), was 66.57% for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and
66.24% for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. Gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales increased during the
thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 when compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 due to, among other things, menu price
increases and the comparatively more adverse effects of COVID-19 on our operations during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 as
compared with the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021, offset by higher food costs.
Package
Store Sales. Gross profit for package liquor store sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased to $6,493,000
from $5,125,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020, due primarily to increased package liquor store traffic which we
believe is due to what appears to be continues increased demand for package store products caused by COVID-19. Our
gross profit margin, (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales), for package store sales was
27.14% for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 27.21% for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Payroll and Related Costs. Payroll and
related costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $5,893,000 or 22.17% to $32,475,000 from $26,582,000 for the thirty-nine
weeks ended June 27, 2020. Payroll and related costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 were higher due primarily to increased
performance bonuses, increased hours and higher costs for employees such as cooks. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total
revenue was 31.32% in the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 31.37% of total revenue in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs (consisting
of percentage rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes, amortization of leasehold purchases and rent expense associated
with operating lease liabilities under ASC 842) for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 decreased $296,000 or 5.53% to $5,059,000
from $5,355,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in occupancy costs was primarily due to the termination of
rent for our combination retail package liquor store and restaurant located at 5450 N. State Road 7, North Lauderdale, Florida (Store
#40), the real property and improvements of which we purchased on December 31, 2020 and the elimination of occupancy costs due to the
elimination of rent for our restaurant location which we are developing located at 14301 West Sunrise Boulevard, Sunrise, Florida (Store
#85), the real property and improvements of which we purchased on March 2, 2021. We anticipate that our occupancy costs will decrease
throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but not limited to advertising, insurance,
professional costs, clerical and administrative overhead) for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $729,000 or 4.75% to
$16,088,000 from $15,359,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as
a percentage of total revenue in the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 to 15.52% as compared to 18.13% in the thirty-nine weeks ended
June 27, 2020. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of total revenue throughout
the balance of our fiscal year 2021 due primarily to increases in total revenue when compared to the balance of our fiscal year 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation
and amortization expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 decreased $135,000 or 5.53% to $2,306,000 from $2,441,000 from the
thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.22% of revenue in
the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 and 2.88% of revenue in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense,
net, for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $139,000 to $737,000 from $598,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27,
2020. Interest expense, net, increased for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 due to (i) the $2.2 Million Borrowing; and (ii) the
borrowing by six of our limited partnerships of an additional approximately $3.35 million of 2nd PPP Loans, both of which borrowings
occurred during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021. Interest expense, net, will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal
year 2021 due to (i) the $2.2 Million Borrowing; (ii) our borrowing of $4,300,000 during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021 from
an unrelated third party lender to re-finance our mortgage loan of our property located at 13105 – 13205 Biscayne Boulevard, North
Miami, Florida (Store #20); and (iii) the borrowing by certain of our limited partnerships of an additional $3.35 million of 2nd
PPP Loans during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, if not forgiven.
Income Taxes. Income tax for the thirty-nine
weeks ended July 3, 2021 was an expense of $1,004,000, as compared to a benefit of $23,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Income tax for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 was not affected by the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans, pursuant
to the terms of the PPP Loans.
Net Income. Net income for the thirty-nine
weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $13,667,000 or 924.70% to $15,145,000 from $1,478,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020
due primarily to the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans and increased revenue at our retail package liquor stores and restaurants,
offset by higher food costs and overall expenses. As a percentage of revenue, net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021
is 14.61%, as compared to 1.74% in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020.
Net Income Attributable to Stockholders.
Net income attributable to stockholders for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 increased $9,743,000 or 1,418.20% to $10,430,000
from $687,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020 due primarily to the forgiveness of debt of certain of the PPP Loans and increased
revenue at our retail package liquor stores and restaurants, offset by higher food costs and overall expenses. As a percentage of revenue,
net income attributable to stockholders for the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021 is 10.06%, as compared to 0.81% for the thirty-nine
weeks ended June 27, 2020.
New Limited Partnership Restaurants
As new restaurants open, our income from operations
will be adversely affected due to our obligation to advance pre-opening costs, including but not limited to pre-opening rent for the new
locations. During the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021, we had one new restaurant location in Sunrise, Florida in the development stage.
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered leases for two spaces adjacent to each other, to house a new “Flanigan’s
Seafood Bar and Grill” as well as a “Big Daddy’s Wine and Liquors” in a shopping center in Miramar, Florida, which
shopping center is currently under construction.
Menu Price Increases and Trends
During the third quarter of our fiscal year
2021, we increased menu prices for our food offerings (effective April 11, 2021) to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately
4.60% annually to offset higher food costs and higher overall expenses.
During the first quarter of our fiscal year
2021, we increased menu prices for our bar offerings (effective November 29, 2020) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately
1.83% annually and we increased menu prices for our food offerings (effective December 6, 2020) to target an increase to our food revenues
of approximately 2.45% annually to offset higher food costs and higher overall expenses. Prior to these increases, we previously raised
menu prices in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2019.
COVID-19 has and will continue to materially
and adversely affect our restaurant business for what may be a prolonged period of time. This damage and disruption has resulted from
events and factors that were impossible for us to predict and are beyond our control. As a result, COVID-19 has materially adversely affected
our results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 and will, in all likelihood, impact our results of operations, liquidity
and/or financial condition throughout the remainder of our fiscal year 2021. The extent to which our restaurant business may be adversely
impacted and its effect on our operations, liquidity and/or financial condition cannot be accurately predicted.
We are not actively searching for locations
for the operation of new package liquor stores, but during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered a lease to house a new
“Big Daddy’s Wine & Liquors” package liquor store in space adjacent to where we are planning a new “Flanigan’s
Seafood Bar and Grill”, restaurant in a shopping center in Miramar, Florida, which shopping center is currently under construction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our operations through cash from operations
and borrowings from third parties. As of July 3, 2021, we had cash of approximately $31,953,000, an increase of $2,031,000 from our cash
balance of $29,922,000 as of October 3, 2020. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we closed on the purchase of the real
property and improvements located at 14301 West Sunrise Boulevard, Sunrise, Florida where we are developing a “Flanigan’s
Seafood Bar and Grill” restaurant (Store #85) for $4,800,000. We financed this acquisition with a loan from an unrelated third-party
lender in the principal amount of $2.2 million and paid cash for the balance. During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we closed
on the purchase of the real property and improvements located at 5450 N. State Road 7, North Lauderdale, Florida where we operate a combination
“Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” restaurant and “Big Daddy’s Liquors” package liquor store (Store
#40) and paid $1,200,000 cash at closing. During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we, certain of the entities owning the limited
partnership stores (the “LP’s”), franchised stores (the “Franchisees”) as well as the store we manage but
do not own (the “Managed Store”) (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received loans from an unrelated
third party lender (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted March 27, 2020, in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $13.1 million (the “PPP Loans”), of which approximately: (i) $5.9 million was loaned to us; (ii) $4.1 million
was loaned to 8 of the LP’s; (iii) $2.6 million was loaned to 5 of the Franchisees; and (iv) $0.5 million was loaned to the Managed
Store. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we applied for forgiveness for all PPP Loans, including Franchisees and the
Managed Store. As of July 3, 2021, the entire amount of principal and accrued interest was forgiven under the PPP Loans. During the first
quarter of our fiscal year 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary, Flanigan’s Calusa Center, LLC, re-financed its mortgage loan with
an unrelated third party lender, increasing the principal amount borrowed from $2.72 million to $7.21 million.
During the second
quarter of our fiscal year 2021, 6 of the entities owning limited partnership stores (the “LP’s”) and the store we manage
but do not own (the “Managed Store”) (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received net amounts of
approximately $3.98 million from the 2nd PPP Loans, of which approximately: (i) $3.35 million was loaned to 6 of the LP’s
; and (ii) $0.63 million was loaned to the Managed Store.
Notwithstanding the negative
effects of COVID 19 on our operations, we believe that our current cash availability from our cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations
and borrowed funds will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021, we
did not declare or pay a cash dividend on our capital stock. During the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020, due to the negative effects
of COVID 19 on our operations, our Board of Directors cancelled a previously declared cash dividend of $.30 per share to shareholders
of record on March 20, 2020 and payable on April 3, 2020. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at our Board’s
discretion and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems
relevant.
Capital Expenditures
In addition to using cash for our operating expenses,
we use cash to fund the development and construction of new restaurants and to fund capitalized property improvements for our existing
restaurants. During the thirty-nine weeks ended July 3, 2021, we acquired property, plant and equipment and construction in progress of
$9,683,000, (of which $58,000 was for the purchase of a motor vehicle; $2,200,000 was for the purchase of real property; $14,000 was deposits
recorded in other assets and $18,000 was purchase deposits transferred to construction in process as of October 3, 2020), which amount
included $35,000 for the renovation to two (2) existing limited partnership restaurants and $70,000 for renovations to two (2) Company
owned restaurants. During the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2020, we acquired property, plant and equipment and construction in progress
of $2,171,000, (of which $96,000 was deposits recorded in other assets and $2,000 was purchase deposits transferred to construction in
process as of September 28, 2019), which amount included $263,000 for the renovation to two (2) existing limited partnership restaurants
and $429,000 for renovations to five (5) Company owned restaurants.
All
of our owned units require periodic refurbishing in order to remain competitive. We anticipate the cost of this refurbishment in our fiscal
year 2021 to be approximately $950,000, excluding construction/renovations to Store #19 (our combination package liquor store and
restaurant which is being rebuilt due to damages caused by a fire) and Store
#85 (our Sunrise, Florida restaurant location in development), which funds will be provided from operations.
Long-Term Debt
As of July 3, 2021, we had long-term debt of $20,211,000,
as compared to $26,323,000 as of October 3, 2020. Our long term debt decreased due to the forgiveness of our PPP Loan and the PPP Loans
of our limited partnerships. As of July 3, 2021, we are in compliance with the
covenants of all loans with our lenders.
As of July 3, 2021, the aggregate principal balance
owed from the financing of our property and general liability insurance policies, including the financing of our directors and officers
liability insurance policy, but excluding coverage for our franchises, (of approximately $226,000), which are not included in our consolidated
financial statements is $798,000.

Purchase Commitments
In order to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply
of baby back ribs for our restaurants, on November 9, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with our current rib supplier, whereby
we agreed to purchase approximately $6,420,000 of baby back ribs during calendar year 2021 at a fixed cost. Subsequent to the end of the

by approximately $408,000 to ensure adequate supply for our restaurants during calendar year 2022.
While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply
from this vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if needed.

Our working capital increased during our fiscal quarter
ended July 3, 2021 from our working capital for our fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2020 and our working capital as of October 3, 2020 due
to our receipt of $3.35 million from the 2nd PPP Loans.
While there can be no assurance due to, among other
things, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated decline in revenues, or both, we believe that our cash on hand, positive cash flow from
operations and borrowed funds will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations
are food, beverage and labor costs. A large number of restaurant personnel are paid at rates based upon applicable minimum wage and increases
in minimum wage directly affect labor costs. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our operating results, but this circumstance
may change in the future if food and fuel costs rise.
