NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
| Note 1 |
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2019. |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.
Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation for the current year.
While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2019.
Note 2
Revenue Recognition
When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The singular performance obligation of our customer contracts for product and machine sales is determined by each individual purchase order and the respective products ordered, with revenue being recognized at a point-in-time when the obligation under the terms of the agreement is satisfied and product control is transferred to our customer. Specifically, control transfers to our customers when the product is delivered to, installed or picked up by our customers based upon applicable shipping terms, as our customers can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the product at this point in time. The performance obligations in our customer contracts for product are generally satisfied within 30 days.
The singular performance obligation of our customer contracts for time and material repair and maintenance equipment service is the performance of the repair and maintenance with revenue being recognized at a point-in-time when the repair and maintenance is completed.
The singular performance obligation of our customer repair and maintenance equipment service contracts is the performance of the repair and maintenance with revenue being recognized over the time the service is expected to be performed. Our customers are billed for service contracts in advance of performance and therefore we have contract liability on our balance sheet.
Significant Payment Terms
In general, within our customer contracts, the purchase order identifies the product, quantity, price, pick-up allowances, payment terms and final delivery terms. Although some payment terms may be more extended, presently the majority of our payment terms are 30 days. As a result, we have used the available practical expedient and, consequently, do not adjust our revenues for the effects of a significant financing component.
Shipping
All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as revenues; therefore, we recognize revenue for shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped or when services are performed. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and our policy is to classify them as Distribution expenses.
Variable Consideration
In addition to fixed contract consideration, our contracts include some form of variable consideration, including sales discounts, trade promotions and certain other sales and consumer incentives, including rebates and coupon redemptions. In general, variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when the related revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will be no significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. We review and update our estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on historical experience. Our recorded liability for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments and trade spending was approximately $
Warranties & Returns
We provide all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty. Either stated or implied, we provide assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law. No services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to our customers.
We do not grant a general right of return. However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product. We do not estimate a right of return and related refund liability as returns of our products are rare.
Contract Balances
Our customers are billed for service contracts in advance of performance and therefore we have contract liability on our balance sheet as follows:

Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from to years. Depreciation expense was $ |
| Note 4 |
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows: |

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2020 six months: expected volatility of
During the fiscal year 2020 six month period, the Company granted
During the fiscal year 2019 six month period, the Company granted
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past months for 5 year options and years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.
| Note 6 |
We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”). We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $
In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

| Note 7 |
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting which requires that an entity recognize most leases on its balance sheet. The guidance retains a dual lease accounting model for purposes of income statement recognition, continuing the distinction between what are currently known as “capital” and “operating” leases for lessees. We adopted the guidance on September 29, 2019 using this alternate transition method, but we did not record a cumulative-effect adjustment from initially applying the standard. We elected the package of practical expedients that permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs and made an accounting policy election to exclude short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have completed the implementation of a lease accounting system to enable the preparation of financial information and have implemented relevant accounting policies and internal controls surrounding the lease accounting process. As a result of adoption, we recognized a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $ |
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to update the methodology used to measure current expected credit losses (CECL). This guidance applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and trade accounts receivable as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology to reflect CECL and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. This guidance will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements. We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers. |
Our reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income. These segments are described below.

We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
| Level 1 |
Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| Level 2 |
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| Level 3 |
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale consist primarily of investments in mutual funds, preferred stock and corporate bonds. The fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As a result, preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at March 28, 2020 are summarized as follows:

Note 14 – Leases
General Lease Description
We have operating leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year covering the rental of various facilities and equipment. Certain of these leases contain renewal options and some provide options to purchase during the lease term. Our operating leases include leases for real estate for some of our office and manufacturing facilities as well as manufacturing and non-manufacturing equipment used in our business. The remaining lease terms for these operating leases range from month to years.
We have finance leases with initial noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year covering the rental of various equipment. These leases are generally for manufacturing and non-manufacturing equipment used in our business. The remaining lease terms for these finance leases range from year to years.
Significant Assumptions and Judgments
Contract Contains a Lease
In evaluating our contracts to determine whether a contract is or contains a lease, we considered the following:
• Whether explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract; and
• Whether we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset, and we can direct how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract.
Allocation of Consideration
In determining how to allocate consideration between lease and non-lease components in a contract that was deemed to contain a lease, we used judgment and consistent application of assumptions to reasonably allocate the consideration.
Options to Extend or Terminate Leases
We have leases which contain options to extend or terminate the leases. On a lease-by-lease basis, we have determined if the extension should be considered reasonably certain to be exercised and thus a right-of-use asset and a lease liability should be recorded.
Discount Rate
The discount rate for leases, if not explicitly stated in the lease, is the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
We used the discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease liability at the date of adoption. In the development of the discount rate, we considered our incremental borrowing rate as provided by our lender which was based on cash collateral and credit risk specific to us, and our lease portfolio characteristics.
As of September 29, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate of our operating and finance leases was
Practical Expedients and Accounting Policy Elections
We elected the package of practical expedients that permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs and made an accounting policy election to exclude short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Note About Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current cash and cash equivalents balances, investments and cash expected to be provided by future operations are our primary sources of liquidity. We believe that these sources, along with our borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion. See Note 11 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.575 per share of its common stock payable on April 8, 2020, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2020.
In the three and six months ended March 28, 2020, we purchased and retired 65,648 shares of our common stock at a cost of $8,972,292. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock in fiscal year 2019. On August 4, 2017 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase and retirement of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; 318,858 shares remain to be purchased under this authorization.
In the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused an increase of $3,921,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2020 second quarter and a decrease of $394,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2019 second quarter. In the six-month period, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused an increase of $3,111,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2020 six-month period and an increase of $965,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2019 six-month period.
Our general-purpose bank credit line which expires in November 2021 provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility. The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no outstanding balances under this facility at March 28, 2020.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales decreased $4,260,000 or 2% to $272,042,000 for the three months and increased $7,025,000 or 1% to $554,939,000 for the six months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended March 30, 2019, respectively. Excluding sales from the acquisition of ICEE Distributors in October 2019 and BAMA ICEE in February 2020, sales decreased 2% for the quarter and increased about 1/3 of 1% for the six months. Sales for the first 11 weeks of our second quarter increased approximately 2% and decreased approximately 20% in the last 2 weeks of the quarter due to the slowdown in the economy.
Net Sales for the first 4 weeks of our third quarter that will end June 27, 2020 were down approximately 45% from a year ago. Although we cannot estimate whether net sales will continue to be down at the same rate for the balance of the quarter, we estimate that we may have an operating loss in the quarter which would compare to operating income of $39 million in the year ago June quarter if sales continue to be down at the same rate. Approximately 2/3 of our sales are to venues and locations that have shut down or sharply curtailed their foodservice operations so we anticipate COVID-19 will continue to have a negative impact on our business. As we have $267 million of cash and marketable securities on our balance sheet, we do not expect to have any liquidity issues, nor do we anticipate a material amount of our assets would be impaired.
FOOD SERVICE
Sales to food service customers decreased $3,735,000 or 2% in the second quarter to $171,332,000 and decreased $313,000 or 1% to $354,780,000 for the six months. For the first 11 weeks of the quarter, sales increased approximately 2% and sales decreased approximately 24% in the last 2 weeks of the quarter. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market decreased 8% to $45,660,000 in the three months and 3% to $95,601,000 in the six months. Prior to COVID-19, soft pretzel sales were strong to convenience store chains and schools in the quarter.
Frozen juices and ices sales increased 6% to $9,491,000 in the three months and were essentially the same as last year at $16,534,000 in the six months as sales to warehouse club stores were strong in the quarter.
Churro sales to food service customers were down 6% in the quarter to $14,754,000 and were up less than 1% to $31,145,000 in the six months due to the dropoff in sales due to COVID-19.
Sales of bakery products increased $5,001,000 or 6% in the second quarter and increased $7,128,000 or 4% to $185,779,000 for the six months with significant offsetting increases and decreases in sales to particular customers.
Sales of handhelds decreased $540,000 or 7% in the quarter and $2,153,000 or 13% in the six months with the decrease primarily coming from lower sales to co-pack customers.
Sales of funnel cake decreased $3,370,000 or 44%, to $4,362,000 in the quarter and $2,130,000, or 17%, to $10,562,000 in the six months due primarily to lower sales to one quick service restaurant chain that ran a limited time offer in last year’s quarter.
Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.6 million in this quarter and $4.1 million in the six months.
Operating income in our Food Service segment decreased to $7,951,000 from $19,182,000 in the quarter and decreased to $25,985,000 from $36,879,000 in the six months primarily because of lower volume and higher operating expenses throughout the quarter and a significant dropoff in sales and production due to COVID-19.
RETAIL SUPERMARKETS
Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $3,404,000 or 10% to $37,571,000 in the second quarter and increased $1,551,000 or 2% in the six months.

Biscuit sales for the second quarter were up 4% to $6,630,000 and down 4% to $13,608,000 for the six months. Sales were generally higher for all product lines as sales in the year ago periods were impacted by lost volume and placements due the price increases implemented in last year’s first quarter and because of increased sales to supermarkets generally in the last 2 weeks of the quarter due to COVID-19.
Sales of new products in the second quarter were approximately $300,000 and were approximately $400,000 for the six months.
Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment was $4,337,000 in this year’s second quarter compared to $3,039,000 in last year’s quarter, a 43% increase and increased to $6,554,000 in this year’s six months compared to $5,250,000 in last year’s six months due to higher volume and higher prices.
FROZEN BEVERAGES
Frozen beverage and related product sales decreased 6% to $63,139,000 in the second quarter and increased 5% to $133,162,000 in the six months. For the first 11 weeks of the quarter, sales increased approximately 1% and decreased approximately 38% in the last 2 weeks of the quarter. Beverages sales were down 5% to $31,895,000 in the quarter and up 5% to $67,150,000 in the six months. Excluding sales from the acquisition of ICEE Distributors in October 2019 and BAMA ICEE in February 2020, frozen beverages and related product sales decreased 10% in the quarter and were up less than 1% for the six months and beverages sales decreased 14% for the quarter and 3% for the six months. Gallon sales were down 12% in the quarter and down 6% in the six months exclusive of ICEE Distributors’ gallons. Service revenue increased 9% to $21,779,000 in the second quarter and increased 10% to $44,265,000 in the six months with sales increases and decreases spread throughout our customer base.

Our Frozen Beverage segment had an operating loss of $1,306,000 compared to operating income of $2,550,000 in last year’s quarter and operating income for the six months was $146,000 this year and $4,724,000 last year primarily as a result of lower volume due to COVID-19 and relocation costs of our ICEE’s headquarters of about $1.5 million in our second quarter and $2.3 million in the six months.
CONSOLIDATED
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 25.53% in the second quarter and 28.68% last year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.54% in the six month period this year and 28.49% last year. Gross profit percentage decreased for both periods because of lower volume in our food service and frozen beverages segments in the second quarter, product mix changes and significant dropoff in production at the end of the second quarter due to COVID-19, although gross profit as a percentage of sales was lower prior to COVID-19 for both the quarter and six months primarily because of lower volume and product mix changes.
Total operating expenses increased $3,984,000 in the second quarter and as a percentage of sales increased to 21.5% from 19.7% last year. For the first half, operating expenses increased $5,361,000 and as a percentage of sales increased to 20.7% from 19.9% last year. Marketing expenses increased to 8.8% of sales in this year’s quarter from 7.9% last year and were 8.4% in the six months compared to 7.9% of sales in last year’s six months primarily because of increased spending in our retail supermarket and frozen beverages segments and because of lower sales in the second quarter (lower denominator) . Distribution expenses were 9.1% of sales in the second quarter and 8.0% of sales in last year’s quarter and were 8.7% in this year’s six months compared to 8.4% of sales in last year’s six months primarily due to higher freight and storage costs and because of lower sales in the second quarter (lower denominator). Administrative expenses were 3.7% of sales in the second quarter compared to 3.6% of sales last year in the second quarter and were 3.6% in this year’s six months compared to 3.5% of sales in last year’s six months.
Operating income decreased $13,789,000 or 56% to $10,982,000 in the three months and decreased $14,168,000 or 30% to $32,685,000 in the first six months as a result of the aforementioned items. About $6.5 million of the decrease in operating income was in January and February primarily due to higher costs and lower volume in our foodservice segment and the $1.5 million of relocation costs in our frozen beverages segment.
We had an investment loss, net of income, of $413,000 in this year’s quarter compared to investment income of $2,782,000 in last year’s quarter. Investment income decreased to $1,373,000 from $3,822,000 in the six month periods. We had unrealized losses of $1,993,000 and $267,000 in the six months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 respectively. We had unrealized losses of $2,064,000 in the three months ended March 28, 2020 and unrealized gains of $760,000 in the three months ended March 30, 2019.
Net earnings decreased $13,045,000, or 64%, in the current three month period to $7,309,000 and decreased $13,512,000, or 36%, to 24,368,000 for the six month period this year compared to $37,880,000 for the six month period last year.
Net earnings in last year’s six months benefitted by a reduction of approximately $900,000 in tax as the provision for the one time repatriation tax as a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 was reduced as the amount recorded the year prior was an estimate. Excluding the reduction in the provision for the one time repatriation tax, our effective tax rate was 27.0% in last year’s six months. Our effective tax rate was 28.3% in this year’s six months.
There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.
