FLANIGAN’S ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED MARCH 29, 2025 AND MARCH
30, 2024
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
information for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 is unaudited. Financial information as of September 28, 2024
has been derived from the audited financial statements of Flanigan’s Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation, together with its
subsidiaries, (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “ours” and “us” as the context
requires), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
information for the periods indicated have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer
to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 28, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of the ten limited partnerships in which we act as general
partner and have controlling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents
the limited partners’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the ten limited partnerships.
The consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures for condensed interim reporting are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates include the estimated useful
lives of tangible assets, the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, estimates relating to the calculation of incremental
borrowing rates, the length of leases associated with right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities and estimates relating to loyalty
reward programs. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in our condensed consolidated
financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current
events and actions we may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Certain amounts in the prior year Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income and segment disclosures for interim reporting have been reclassified herein to conform to the presentation
of the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 unaudited financial statements and related disclosures for interim reporting, which did not
have a material impact on our net income.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 260 - “ Earnings per Share ”. This section provides for the calculation
of basic and diluted earnings per share. The data on Page 1 shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share. As of March 29, 2025
and March 30, 2024, no stock options or other potentially dilutive securities were outstanding and, accordingly, there is no difference
in basic and diluted per share amounts.
(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Adopted
The FASB issued guidance, Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides
a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present
the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based
on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of our fiscal
year 2024; however, after performing a thorough analysis the Company concluded there was no material impact from the adoption of this
ASU.
8
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment
Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements,
primarily through requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance.
We early adopted this ASU in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2024 and this ASU affected the expense presentation of our Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and our Business Segments footnote. For further information regarding the Company’s
Business Segments, please refer to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Business Segments footnote.
Recently Issued
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to
standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective
for the Company for our fiscal year 2026 annual reporting period, with the guidance applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income
Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” which requires disclosure of disaggregated
information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 clarifying the effective date of ASU 2024-03, which will be effective for the Company for
our fiscal year 2027 annual reporting period, with guidance applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our interim and consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements
that we have not yet adopted that we believe may have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
(4) INCOME TAXES:
We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC Topic
740, “ Income Taxes ”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates
attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax
net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not. The Company’s
income tax expense computed at the statutory federal rate of 21 % differs from its effective tax rate primarily due to state income
taxes, noncontrolling interests, discrete tax expense resulting from a change in accounting principle, and income tax credits.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Master Service Agreement
During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025,
we entered into a new Master Services Agreement with our current major vendor for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2025,
with Company options for four (4) one (1) year renewal options to extend the term of the same. In this new Master Service Agreement,
as in our prior Master Service Agreements, we commit to purchase specific products through our current major vendor but are free to purchase
other products through other vendors, provided no less than 80% of our overall product needs are purchased through our current major vendor.
ERP Contract
In the third quarter of our fiscal year 2024,
we entered into an agreement with Oracle, an unrelated third-party vendor for the licensing and support of NetSuite, a cloud-based Oracle
ERP solution to replace our general ledger. The agreement is for a period of five years at a fixed rate of approximately $ 40,000 annually,
with a cap on the percentage increase to our fees for our options to extend the term of the agreement for years six and seven . We expect
the implementation of NetSuite to be complete and functional during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2025.
In the third quarter of our fiscal year 2024, we also
entered into an agreement with an unrelated third-party implementation partner for the implementation of NetSuite. The fee for its implementation
services will be approximately $ 237,000 , payable as hourly services are performed and billed. As of the end of the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2025 we have paid this implementation partner $ 230,000 .
Leases
To conduct certain of our operations, we lease restaurant
and package liquor store space in South Florida from unrelated third parties. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 47 years,
some of which include options to renew and extend the lease terms for up to an additional 24 years. We presently intend to renew some
of the extension options available to us and for purposes of computing the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities required by ASC 842,
we have incorporated into all lease terms which may be extended, an additional term of the lesser of (i) the amount of years the lease
may be extended; or (ii) 15 years.
Common area maintenance and property taxes are not
considered to be lease components.

Litigation
Our sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to “dram
shop” statutes, which allow an injured person to recover damages from an establishment that served alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated
person. If we receive a judgment substantially in excess of our insurance coverage or if we fail to maintain our insurance coverage, our
business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. We currently have no “dram
shop” claims.
From time to time, we are a party to various other
claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall”
accidents, claims under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations, employment-related claims and claims from guests
alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. It is our opinion, after consulting with legal counsel,
that all such matters are without merit or involve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition, some of which is covered by insurance,
would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(8) BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
We operate in two reportable segments –
package stores and restaurants. The operation of package stores consists of retail liquor sales and related items. The operation of restaurants
consists of restaurant food and bar sales. Operating income is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses relative
to each segment. In order to evaluate each of these two operating segments we also break out our Corporate entity which functions as a
cost center accumulating expenses that do not directly relate to the reportable segments operations. As such, our Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM) (our Chief Financial Officer) ensures that these expenses are separated in order to properly evaluate the two main reportable
segments as presented below. We have disclosed for each reportable segment the significant expense categories that are reviewed by CODM
in the tables below and there are no additional significant expenses within the expense categories presented. The key areas of focus by
CODM for allocation of resources are revenues from each reportable segment, as well as their cost of merchandise sold, payroll related
costs, and operating expenses (these figures are presented both pre-elimination and post-elimination with a line clearly distinguishing
the elimination amounts). While CODM analyzes these categories, the area of focus is period over period fluxes to determine that the right
allocation of resources is attributed to each segment in order to ensure profitability is maximized. Gross profit is not shown on the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income but is a metric that CODM uses to assess segment performance and as such is included
in the tables below. In computing operating income, none of the following items have been included: interest expense, other non-operating
income and expenses and income taxes. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in our operations in each segment.
Corporate assets are principally cash and real property, improvements, furniture, equipment and vehicles used at our corporate headquarters.
We do not have any operations outside of the United States and transactions between restaurants and package liquor stores are not material.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. CODM analyzes
each segment’s income from operations for making decisions regarding resource allocation. Information concerning the revenues and
operating income for the quarters ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and identifiable assets for the two reportable segments in
which we operate, are shown in the following tables.

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 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
as a return of capital. 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 a profit distribution. As of March 29,
2025, all limited partnerships, with the exception of the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in Sunrise, Florida (Store #85),
which opened for business in March 2022 and the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in Miramar, Florida (Store #25), which opened
for business in April 2023, 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” or “Flanigan’s”.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks Ended March 29, 2025 and March 30,
2024.
Revenues . Total revenue for the thirteen
weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $5,563,000 or 11.57% to $53,632,000 from $48,069,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024
due primarily to increased package liquor store and restaurant sales, increased menu prices and revenue generated from the opening of
our corporate owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) in March 2024. Effective February 23, 2025 we increased our menu prices
for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 0.84% annually. Effective December 4, 2024 we increased
our menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 4.90% annually and effective November
17, 2024 we increased our menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 4.14% annually
to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. Effective August 25, 2024, we increased menu prices for our bar offerings
to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 5.63% annually to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses
(collectively the “Recent Price Increases”).
Restaurant Food Sales .
Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants totaled $32,586,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended March 29, 2025 as compared to $29,356,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase in restaurant food sales
during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 as compared to restaurant food sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 is
attributable to the Recent Price Increases and restaurant food sales generated from the opening of our corporate owned restaurant in Hollywood,
Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for restaurants open for
all of the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 respectively, which consists of ten restaurants owned by us (excluding
our Hollywood, Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) and ten restaurants
owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $2,358,000 and $2,227,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024,
respectively, an increase of 5.88%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company-owned restaurants (excluding our Hollywood, Florida
location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) was $1,112,000 and $1,029,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 8.07%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for
affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $1,245,000 and $1,198,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March
30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 3.92%. We expect that restaurant food sales, including non-alcoholic beverages, for the balance
of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases.
20
Restaurant Bar Sales .
Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $8,194,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March
29, 2025 as compared to $7,740,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase in restaurant bar sales during the thirteen
weeks ended March 29, 2025 is primarily due to the Recent Price Increases and the opening of our corporate owned restaurant in Hollywood,
Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for restaurants open for
all of the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 respectively, which consists of ten restaurants owned by us (excluding
our Hollywood, Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) and ten restaurants
owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $602,000 and $593,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively,
an increase of 1.52%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company-owned restaurants only (excluding our Hollywood, Florida location
Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) was $258,000 and $252,000 for the thirteen weeks
ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 2.38%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited
partnership owned restaurants only was $344,000 and $341,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, an increase
of 0.88%. We expect that restaurant bar sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases.
Package Store Sales .
Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $12,051,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March
29, 2025 as compared to $10,140,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, an increase of $1,911,000. This increase was primarily
due to increased package liquor store traffic. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes eleven (11)
Company-owned package liquor stores was $927,000 and $780,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively,
an increase of 18.85%. We expect that package liquor store sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to increased
package liquor store traffic.
Costs and Expenses . Costs and expenses
(consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, operating expenses, occupancy costs, selling, general and administrative
expenses and depreciation and amortization), for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $4,613,000 or 10.16% to $49,997,000
from $45,384,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased payroll, an expected general
increase in food costs, costs and expenses incurred from the opening of our Company-owned restaurant in Hollywood Florida (Store #19R)
during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024, partially offset by actions taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We
anticipate that our costs and expenses will continue to increase through the balance of our fiscal year 2025. Costs and expenses decreased
as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 93.22% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 from 94.41% for the thirteen weeks
ended March 30, 2024.
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 March 29, 2025 increased to $27,415,000 from
$24,886,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated as gross
profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), increased to 67.23% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 as
compared to 67.09% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 due primarily to the Recent Price Increases, partially offset by the higher
food costs.
Package Store Sales .
Gross profit for package store sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased to $3,382,000 from $2,648,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended March 30, 2024. Our gross profit margin (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales),
for package store sales was 28.06% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 26.11% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
We anticipate that the gross profit margin for package liquor store merchandise will decrease for the balance of our fiscal year 2025
due to higher costs and a reduction in pricing of certain package store merchandise to remain competitive.
Payroll
and Related Costs. Payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $1,212,000 or 8.10% to $16,184,000
from $14,972,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. Payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 were
higher due primarily to the opening of our company owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our
fiscal year 2024 and the increase to the Florida minimum wage. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total revenue was 30.18 %
for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 31.15% of total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses (including but not
limited to utilities, insurance, cleaning, credit card fees, supplies, security, and other costs closely related to operating restaurant
and package stores) for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $674,000 or 10.56% to $7,057,000 from $6,383,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended March 30, 2024 due primarily to the opening of our company owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the
second quarter of our fiscal year 2024, inflation and otherwise to increases in expenses across all categories.

rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes, amortization of leasehold interests and rent expense associated with operating
lease liabilities under ASC 842) for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $173,000 or 8.96% to $2,103,000 from $1,930,000
for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but not limited to advertising, professional

$1,386,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total
revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 to 2.72% as compared to 2.88% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.

and amortization expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $150,000 or 14.84% to $1,161,000 from $1,011,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. This increase is driven by the opening of our company owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store
#19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.16%
of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 2.10% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.

weeks ended March 29, 2025 was an expense of $311,000, as compared to a benefit of $55,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.

in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for restaurants
open for all of the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 respectively, which consists of ten restaurants owned by
us (excluding our Hollywood, Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024)
and ten restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $2,228,000 and $2,117,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025
and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 5.24%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company-owned restaurants (excluding
our Hollywood, Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) was $993,000
and $933,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 6.43%. Comparable weekly
restaurant food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $1,236,000 and $1,184,000 for the twenty-six weeks
ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 4.39%. We expect that restaurant food sales, including non-alcoholic
beverages, for the balance of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases.
22
Restaurant Bar Sales .
Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $16,156,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March
29, 2025 as compared to $15,203,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase in restaurant bar sales during the twenty-six
weeks ended March 29, 2025 is primarily due to the Recent Price Increases and the opening of our corporate owned restaurant in Hollywood,
Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for restaurants open for
all of the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 respectively, which consists of ten restaurants owned by us (excluding
our Hollywood, Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) and ten restaurants
owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $593,000 and $583,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024,
respectively, an increase of 1.72%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company-owned restaurants only (excluding our Hollywood,
Florida location Store #19R which opened for business during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024) was $251,000 and $243,000 for
the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, an increase of 3.29%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales
for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $342,000 and $340,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and
March 30, 2024, an increase of 0.59%. We expect that restaurant bar sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to
the Recent Price Increases.
Package Store Sales .
Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $24,486,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March
29, 2025 as compared to $20,742,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024, an increase of $3,744,000. This increase was primarily
due to increased package liquor store traffic. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes eleven (11)
Company-owned package liquor stores was $942,000 and $798,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively,
an increase of 18.05%. We expect that package liquor store sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2025 will increase due to increased
package liquor store traffic.
Costs and Expenses . Costs and expenses
(consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, operating expenses, occupancy costs, selling, general and administrative
expenses and depreciation and amortization), for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $9,669,000 or 10.78% to $99,401,000
from $89,732,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased payroll, an expected general
increase in food costs, costs and expenses incurred from the opening of our Company-owned restaurant in Hollywood Florida (Store #19R)
during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024, partially offset by actions taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We
anticipate that our costs and expenses will continue to increase through the balance of our fiscal year 2025. Costs and expenses decreased
as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 95.68% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 from 96.27% for the twenty-six
weeks ended March 30, 2024.
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 twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased to $51,474,000 from
$46,873,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024. 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 66.10% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March
30, 2024, respectively.
Package Store Sales .
Gross profit for package store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased to $6,336,000 from $5,370,000 for the twenty-six
weeks ended March 30, 2024. Our gross profit margin (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales),
for package store sales was 25.88% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 25.89% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
We anticipate that the gross profit margin for package liquor store merchandise will decrease for the balance of our fiscal year 2025
due to higher costs and a reduction in pricing of certain package store merchandise to remain competitive.
Payroll
and Related Costs. Payroll and related costs for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $2,573,000 or 8.76% to $31,930,000
from $29,357,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024. Payroll and related costs for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025
were higher due primarily to the opening of our company owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter
of our fiscal year 2024 and the increase to the Florida minimum wage. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total revenue was 30.73%
for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 31.50% of total revenue for the
twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses (including but not
limited to utilities, insurance, cleaning, credit card fees, supplies, security, and other costs closely related to operating restaurant
and package stores) for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $1,314,000 or 10.69% to $13,611,000 from $12,297,000 for
the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024 due primarily to the opening of our company owned restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R)
during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024, inflation and otherwise to increases in expenses across all categories.
23
Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs (consisting of percentage
rent, common area maintenance, repairs, real property taxes, amortization of leasehold interests and rent expense associated with operating
lease liabilities under ASC 842) for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 decreased $37,000 or 0.90% to $4,057,000 from $4,094,000
for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024 partially due to the decrease in the Florida state sales tax.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (consisting of general corporate expenses, including but not limited to advertising, professional
costs, clerical and administrative overhead) for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $373,000 or 14.46% to $2,952,000
from $2,579,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024 due primarily to increased television and radio advertising costs. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 to 2.84%
as compared to 2.77% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Depreciation
and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $315,000 or 15.81%
to $2,307,000 from $1,992,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024. This increase is driven by the opening of our company owned
restaurant in Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation
and amortization expense was 2.22% of revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and 2.14% of revenue for the
twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Interest Expense, Net . Interest expense,
net, for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 decreased $32,000 to $485,000 from $517,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30,
2024.
Income Taxes. Income tax for the twenty-six
weeks ended March 29, 2025 was an expense of $346,000, as compared to a benefit of $73,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
This is primarily due to the tax expense that is anticipated based on the projected pre-tax income and permanent differences.
Net Income. Net income for the twenty-six
weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $860,000 or 27.58% to $3,978,000 from $3,118,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024 due
primarily to the Recent Price Increases and the operation of our Company-owned restaurant of Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the
twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, offset by higher food costs and overall increased expenses. As a percentage of revenue, net income
for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 is 3.83%, as compared to 3.35% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Net Income Attributable to Flanigan’s
Enterprises, Inc. Stockholders. Net income attributable to Flanigan’s Enterprises, Inc.’s stockholders for the twenty-six
weeks ended March 29, 2025 increased $694,000 or 33.84 % to $2,745,000 from $2,051,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 2024 due
primarily to the Recent Price Increases and the operation of our Company-owned restaurant of Hollywood, Florida (Store #19R) during the
twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, offset by higher food costs and overall increased expenses. As a percentage of revenue, net income
attributable to stockholders for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 is 2.64%, as compared to 2.20% for the twenty-six weeks ended
March 30, 2024.
Menu Price Increases and Trends
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, we increased our menu
prices for our bar offerings (effective February 23, 2025) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 0.84% annually
to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. During the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2024, we increased our
menu prices for our bar offerings (effective December 4, 2024) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 4.90% annually
and we increased our menu prices for our food offerings (effective November 17, 2024) to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately
4.14% annually to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. During our fiscal year 2024, we increased menu prices
for our bar offerings (effective August 25, 2024) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 5.63% annually to offset
higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. Prior to these increases we previously raised menu prices in the second quarter
of our fiscal year 2023.
24
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our operations through cash from operations
and borrowings from third parties. As of March 29, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22,973,000, an increase of
$1,571,000 from our cash balance of $21,402,000 as of September 28, 2024.
Inflation is affecting all aspects of our operations,
including but not limited to food, beverage, fuel and labor costs. Supply chain issues also contribute to inflation. Inflation is having
a material impact on our operating results.
We believe that our current cash availability from
our cash on hand and positive cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for
at least the next twelve months.
Cash Flows
The following table is a summary of our cash flows
for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024.

We did not declare or pay a cash dividend on our capital
stock during the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 or the twenty-six weeks ended March 30 2024. 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 generated from operations and borrowings to fund the development and construction of new restaurants and to fund capitalized
property improvements for our existing restaurants. During the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, we acquired property and equipment
of $1,731,000, (of which $11,000 was purchase deposits transferred to property and equipment), including $87,000 for renovations to one
(1) Company-owned package location and $43,000 for renovations to one (1) limited partnership owned restaurant. During the twenty-six
weeks ended March 30, 2024, we acquired property and equipment and construction in progress of $4,314,000, (of which $206,000 was purchase
deposits transferred to property and equipment, $715,000 was purchase deposits transferred to CIP, and $280,000 was property and equipment
in accounts payable), including $437,000 for renovations to three (3) Company-owned restaurants.
25
We anticipate the cost of refurbishment in our fiscal
year 2025 will be approximately $550,000, although capital expenditures for our refurbishing program for fiscal year 2025 may be significantly
higher.
Long-Term Debt
As of March 29, 2025, we had long-term debt (including
the current portion) of $21,247,000, as compared to $21,912,000 as of September 28, 2024.
As of March 29, 2025, we are in compliance with all
of the covenants contained in our loan agreements.
Purchase Commitments
In order to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for
our restaurants for calendar year 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement with a new rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately
$7.8 million of “2.5 & Down Baby Back Ribs” (weight range in which baby back ribs are sold) during calendar year 2025,
at a prescribed cost, which we believe is competitive.
While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply
from the new rib vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if needed.
During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025,
we entered into a new Master Services Agreement with our current major vendor for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2025,
with Company options for four (4) one (1) year renewal options to extend the term of the same. In this new Master Service Agreement,
as in our prior Master Service Agreements, we commit to purchase specific products through our current major vendor but are free to purchase
other products through other vendors, provided no less than 80% of our overall product needs are purchased through our current major vendor.
Working Capital
The table below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and
working capital for our fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025, and our fiscal year ended September 28, 2024.

from operations will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures throughout our fiscal year 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.
26
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies in
Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. “Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024.
Critical accounting estimates are those that we
believe are both significant and require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate
the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and other assumptions that
we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ
from these estimates and we might obtain different estimates if we use different assumptions or factors.
Leases
We currently lease a portion of our restaurant and
package locations under various lease agreements. Determining the probable term for each lease requires judgment by management and can
impact the classification and accounting for a lease as financing or operating, as well as the period for straight-lined rent expense
and the depreciation period for lease hold improvements. Generally, the lease term is a minimum of the noncancelable period of the
lease or the lease term inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods up to a term of 15 years. If the estimate of our reasonably certain
lease term was changed, our depreciation and rent expense could differ materially. To determine the present value of lease payments not
yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates (IBR) corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. The IBR is an estimate based
on several factors, including financial market conditions, comparable company and credit analysis as well as management judgment. If
the IBR was changed, our operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities could differ materially.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances
have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated life of our intangible and other long-lived assets and/or whether the remaining
balance of our intangible and other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. If and when such factors, events or
circumstances indicate that intangible and/or other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, we will determine
the fair value of the asset by making an estimate of expected future cash flows over the remaining lives of the respective assets and
compare that fair value with the carrying value of the assets in measuring their recoverability. In determining the expected future cash
flows, the assets will be grouped at the lowest level for which there are cash flows, at the individual store level.
Loyalty Programs
We offer loyalty programs to customers of our restaurants
and package liquor stores. The gift cards distributed as a part of our loyalty programs have expiration dates and we estimate breakage
for such gift cards. We estimate the value of breakage based on historical redemption patterns. If actual redemptions vary from assumptions
used to estimate breakage, gift card breakage income may differ from the amount recorded.
Consolidation of Limited Partnerships
As of March 29, 2025 we operate ten (10) restaurants
as general partner of the limited partnerships that own the operations of these restaurants. We expect that any expansion which takes
place in opening new restaurants will also result in us operating the restaurants as general partner. In addition to the general partnership
interest we also purchased limited partnership units ranging from 0% to 49% of the total units outstanding. As a result of these controlling
interests, we consolidate the operations of these limited partnerships with ours despite the fact that we do not own in excess of 50%
of the equity interests. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The non-controlling interests in the earnings
of these limited partnerships are removed from net income and are not included in the calculation of earnings per share.
Income Taxes
We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC Topic
740, “ Income Taxes ”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates
attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax credits
to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not. For discussion regarding our carryforwards refer to Note
10 in the consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year 2024.
27
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. Inflation is having a material impact on our operating results, especially rising food, fuel
and labor costs. We have endeavored to offset the adverse effects of cost increases by increasing our menu prices.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive
instruments for trading purposes and as of March 29, 2025 held no equity securities.
Economic Risk
The new government administration has imposed
changes in trade policy, including an increase in the use of tariffs which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by other countries, shifts
in immigration policies and international relations and changes to the overall regulation and enforcement by government agencies. We cannot
predict the timing or impact, if any, of such actions.
Interest Rate Risk
As part of our ongoing operations, we are exposed
to interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings. We use interest rate swap agreements to manage these risks. These instruments are not
used for speculative purposes but are used to modify variable rate obligations into fixed rate obligations.
At March 29, 2025, we had one variable rate instrument
outstanding that is impacted by changes in interest rates. In September 2022, we refinanced the mortgage loan encumbering the property
where our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 4 N. Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida, (Store #31) operates,
which mortgage loan is held by an unaffiliated third-party lender (the “$8.90M Loan”). The interest rate of our variable rate
debt instrument was equal to the lender’s BSBY Screen Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum. Effective November 15,
2024, the publication of BSBY was terminated and as of such date, the variable rate of interest under our debt instrument is equal to
the lender’s 1 Month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 10 basis points, as an equivalent alternative
approved by the lender.
As a means of managing our interest rate risk on
this debt instrument, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an unrelated third-party lender to convert this variable rate
debt obligation to a fixed rate. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement in September 2022 relating to the $8.90M Loan (the “$8.90M
Term Loan Swap”). The $8.90M Term Loan Swap required us to pay interest for a fifteen (15) year period at a fixed rate of 4.90%
on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $8,900,000, while receiving interest for the same period at BSBY Screen Rate –
1 Month, plus 1.50%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We had previously determined that this interest rate swap agreement
was an effective hedging agreement and we recorded changes in fair value to accumulated other comprehensive income each quarter from
the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2023 through the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025.
On November 22, 2024, we terminated the $8.90M
Term Loan Swap and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement for $8,015,601, the balance due on the $8.90M Loan,
which requires us to pay interest for twelve (12) years, ten (10) months, which is the balance of the original fifteen (15) year period
at a fixed rate of 4.90% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $8,015,601, while receiving interest for the same period
at the lender’s 1 Month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 10 basis points, at the same amortizing
notional principal amount. For the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 we recognized the $290,000 of non-cash gains, net of tax, related
to the above interest rate swap agreement as interest and other income. We determined that the new interest rate swap agreement is an
economic hedge and beginning in the second quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we recognize the changes in fair value on our interest rate
swap in interest and other income on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
During the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025,
we had approximately an aggregate principal amount of $1,296,000 of 90-day government guaranteed certificates of deposit at fixed annual
interest rates between 4.1% and 4.35%. The Company also had approximately an aggregate principal amount of $244,000 of 180-day government
guaranteed certificates of deposit at a fixed annual interest rate of 4.2%. These are classified as short-term investments and recorded
under current assets, as they are expected to mature within one year. Otherwise, at March 29, 2025, our cash resources offset our bank
charges and any excess cash resources earn interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our return on these funds is affected by fluctuations
in interest rates.
There is no assurance that interest rates will
increase or decrease over our next fiscal year or that an increase in interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.
28
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 29, 2025, an evaluation was performed
under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 29, 2025.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of our interim or annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Information technology general controls (ITGCs) were
not designed and implemented effectively to ensure (i) that access to applications and data, and the ability to make program and database
changes, were adequately restricted to appropriate personnel and (ii) that database changes were logged completely and accurately. Business
process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have
been adversely impacted. We continued the process of remediating this material weakness.
We currently do not have adequate internal controls
to ensure the timely and accurate recognition of deferred revenues associated with promotional gift cards that are provided in conjunction
with certain sales from time to time, including during holiday periods. During the course of our independent registered public accounting
firm performing its quarterly review procedures in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first
and second quarters of our fiscal year 2025, we became aware of certain errors made by management in recording revenues and deferred
revenue liabilities pertaining to the package loyalty program and the restaurant promotional gift cards, which constituted a material
weakness in our internal controls. We are currently in the process of remediating this material weakness.
The material weaknesses identified above did not
result in any material misstatements in our financial statements or disclosures, and there were no changes to previously released financial
results. However, as a result of these findings, we continued the process of remediating these material weaknesses to our controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025, we
have not made any additional changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
