See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 DAVE & BUSTER'S, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 3, 1996 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dave & Buster's, Inc. (the "Company") and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. The primary business of the Company is the ownership and operation of restaurant/entertainment complexes (a "Complex") under the name "Dave & Buster's". NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive options outstanding during the period. For the periods ended October 29, 1995 the weighted average number of shares outstanding is based on the assumption that 5,197,000 shares of common stock were outstanding prior to the completion in of a public offering of common stock for 2,070,000 shares. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are not materially different for the interim periods presented. NOTE 4: CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, based on discussions with and advice of legal counsel, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company. 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Results of Operations - 13 Weeks Ended November 3, 1996 Compared to 13 Weeks Ended October 29, 1995 Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 1996 increased by 71.2% over the 13 weeks ended October 29, 1995. The increase in revenues was attributable to the Chicago locations which the Company opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 and the Hollywood, Florida location which opened in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996. Eight stores were operating for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 1996 as compared to five for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 1995. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 20.8% from 20.4% in the prior comparable period. The increase in cost of revenues was a result of a shift in revenue mix toward more food and beverage revenues. Operating payroll and benefits decreased to 28.2% from 30.4% in the prior comparable period. Operating payroll and benefits was lower due to decreased variable labor costs. Other operating expenses decreased to 22.5% compared to 23.3% in the prior comparable period. Other operating expenses were lower as a percentage of revenue in 1996 due to improved costs controls. General and administrative costs, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 6.1% compared to 9.7% for the comparable prior period. The percentage decrease is attributable to the leverage from increased revenues, lower operating costs and gain on sale of equipment. Depreciation and amortization and preopening costs amortization, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 10.7% from 7.2% due to opening two locations in the Chicago market in the fourth quarter of 1995 and one location in Hollywood, Florida in the first quarter of 1996. Results of Operations - 39 Weeks Ended November 3, 1996 Compared to 39 Weeks Ended October 29, 1995 Total revenues for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 1996 increased by 71.5% over the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1995. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the Chicago locations which the Company opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 and the Hollywood, Florida location which opened in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 20.6% from 20.5% in the prior comparable period. Operating payroll and benefits decreased to 28.9% from 29.8% in the prior comparable period due to decreased variable labor costs. Other operating expenses increased to 22.8% compared to 22.6% in the prior comparable period. Other operating expenses were lower in 1995 due to a one time credit for rent related charges. General and administrative costs increased $986,000 over the prior comparable period as a result of increased administrative payroll and related costs for new personnel and additional costs resulting from the Company operating as a public company. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.3% compared to 8.1% for the comparable prior period. The percentage decrease is attributable to the leverage from increased revenues. Depreciation and amortization and preopening costs amortization, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 9.7% from 6.6% due to opening two new locations in the Chicago market in the fourth quarter of 1995 and one location in Hollywood, Florida in the first quarter of 1996. 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Prior to June 29, 1995, the Company financed its capital expenditures and operations through cash flows from operations and advances from Edison Brothers. Subsequent to June 29, 1995, the Company has financed its capital expenditures and operations through cash flows from operations, draws under a line of credit agreement and a common stock offering. Cash flows from operations increased to $8.2 million in the first 39 weeks of fiscal 1996 from $4.7 million in the first 39 weeks of fiscal 1995. This increase was due to the opening of one new store in Hollywood, Florida in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 and two new locations in the Chicago market in the fourth quarter of 1995. The Company has a secured revolving line of credit which permits borrowing up to a maximum of $23,500,000. At the prime interest rate (8.25% at November 3, 1996). The line of credit is secured by various assets including land, buildings and personal property. At November 3, 1996, $14,500,000 was available. The line matures in September 1998. The line of credit has certain covenants which include financial covenants requiring debt to equity, tangible net worth, and current debt maturity levels. In 1995, the Company completed a public offering of common stock for the sale of 2,070,000 shares at $15.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $28,653,000, after deducting related offering costs. The Company's plan is to open two new stores in fiscal 1996. One store opened in South Florida, in the Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale market on April 25, 1996. The other store in the White Flint Mall, North Bethesda, Maryland market will open later in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1997, the Company's goal is to open three new stores. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $24.0 million and $31.0 million for 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company intends to finance this development with cash flow from operations and the unused portion of the revolving line of credit described above.
