See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 DAVE & BUSTER'S, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 5, 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" which are located in Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida. 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 period ended April 30, 1995, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is based on the assumption that 5,197,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. 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 May 5, 1996 Compared to 13 Weeks Ended April 30, 1995 Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 5, 1996 increased by 64.8% over the 13 weeks ended April 30, 1995. The increase was attributable to revenues at the Company's two new Chicago stores opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 20.7% from 20.1% in the prior comparable period. The increase in cost of revenues was a result of higher costs associated with food revenues. Operating payroll and benefits decreased to 28.7% from 29.7% in the prior comparable period. Operating payroll and benefits was lower due to cost reductions in fixed labor offset by higher variable labor costs. Other operating expenses increased to 23.5% compared to 20.9% 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 by $548,000 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 in the current period. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.6% compared to 6.4% for the comparable prior period. Depreciation and amortization expense, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 8.5% from 5.8% due to opening two new stores in the Chicago area in the fourth quarter of 1995. 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 from $1.7 million in the first 13 weeks of fiscal 1995 to $2.2 million in the first 13 weeks of fiscal 1996. This increase was due to the opening of two new stores in the Chicago area in the fourth fiscal quarter of 1995 offset by an increase in preopening costs related to the new openings. The Company has a secured revolving line of credit which permits borrowing up to a maximum of $23,500,000. At May 5, 1996, $21,000,000 was available. 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 8 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.
