Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business
Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC (“TRH”, the “Company”, “we”), a Delaware limited liability company, is principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development, and franchising of the Twin Peaks Restaurant brands. As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company operated 26 company-operated locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas, and franchised 54 and 53 restaurants, respectively located in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Mexico.
On March 29, 2019, Garnett Station Partners, LLC, and associated affiliates and co-investors, formed Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC which, through other wholly owned subsidiaries acquired 100% of the shares of the Company (the 2019 Acquisition).
On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Twin Peaks Buyer LLC (“Twin Peaks”) for a total purchase price of $300.0 million, comprised of $222.1 million in net cash, a note payable in the amount of $10.4 million and 2,847,393 shares of the Company’s Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Twin Peaks Acquisition”).
COVID-19
Beginning in January 2020, there has been an outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19” or “virus”), which has been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization. As of the date of these financial statements, substantially all locations are no longer subject to reduced store hours or capacity limits. The length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the financial impact from COVID-19 on the Company, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 will impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.
It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company applied for and received approximately $12.9 million for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program on April 22, 2020. See Note 7 – Note Payable for details surrounding PPP loans.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 13, 2021, the results of operations for the twenty-four weeks ended June 13, 2021 and June 14, 2020, and cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 13, 2021 and June 14, 2020. The results for the twenty-four weeks ended June 13, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2020
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC includes the accounts of Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC and its subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52 - 53 week reporting period, which ends each year on the last Sunday of December. The fiscal year ended December 27, 2020 consisted of 52 weeks. The Company’s fiscal second quarter ended June 13, 2021 and June 14, 2020, respectively both consisting of 24 weeks each.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 – This level consists of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 – This level consists of unadjusted quoted prices other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – This level consists of unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximate their respective fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities or expected settlement dates of these instruments.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In addition to the $65,000,000 variable rate loan with Comvest Capital, the Company entered into an interest rate agreement with Regions Bank, effective August 2, 2019, fixing the interest rate at 1.9%. This interest rate protection product, commonly called a swap, provides the Company with the assurance of a floating interest rate of 2.229750% during the term of the bank loan. This swap agreement is re-measured to fair value each reporting period to provide a current value of the interest rate protection product as if the loan were to be repaid at that point in time.
As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company had a liability of $355,387 and $468,793 related to this agreement. This liability was classified as a level 2 fair value measurement as all significant inputs are based on quoted market prices of investments that are not actively traded and for which certain significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as benchmark interest rates and yield curves and/or securities indices.
There were no investment assets or liabilities classified within level 1 or 3 at or during the twenty-four weeks ended June 13, 2021 and year ended December 27, 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments in highly liquid instruments, purchased with maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with federally insured financial institutions that may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses from such accounts, and management considers the risk to be minimal. At December 27, 2020 and July 13, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
In conjunction with the self-insurance related letter of credit, the Company maintains a $5,000,000 cash collateral account. See note 7 – Note Payable.
11 |
Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company made a Specified Matters Payment, as per the 2019 Acquistion the purchase agreement, of $10,000,000 to cover insurance retentions/deductibles on open claims at the acquisition date, see Note 8. This payment is held in a Regions bank account held by purchaser and is disbursed based on the examination of legal liabilities that meet the intended criteria of the designated account. In relation to the Restricted Cash, a Restricted Liability has been created to in the same amount to represent future potential outflows.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of Franchise royalties and are analyzed for collectability periodically by management and are carried at net realizable value. The Company continuously evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated by management and is adjusted for those trade accounts receivable for which collection is uncertain. Accounts receivables are written-off when deemed uncollectible. At June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020 there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of food and drink products, which are valued at the lower of cost, determined principally on the first-in, first-out method “FIFO”, or net realizable value.
Investment in Joint Venture (JV)
Investment in JV is accounted for under the Equity Method per ASC 323 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASC 323) which provides guidance on the criteria for determining whether you have an investment that qualifies for the equity method of accounting and how to account for the investment under US GAAP. Equity method investments are recorded as assets on the balance sheet at their initial cost and adjusted each reporting period by the investor through the income statement. As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, Investment in JV consisted of a secured convertible promissory note and is considered immaterial to these financial statements.
Leases
The Company reviews all leases for capital or operating classification at their inception. Within the provisions of certain leases, there are rent holidays and escalations in payments over the base lease term, as well as renewal periods. The effects of the holidays and escalations have been reflected in rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Differences between amounts paid and amounts expensed are recorded as deferred rent. The lease term commences on the date when the Company has the right to control the use of the leased property. Certain leases also include contingent rent provisions based on sales levels, which are accrued at the point in time the Company determines that it is probable such sales levels will be achieved.
Tenant improvement allowance incentives may be available to partially offset the cost of developing and opening the related restaurants, pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease. Tenant improvement allowances can take the form of cash payments upon the opening of the related restaurants, full or partial credits against minimum or percentage rents otherwise payable by the Company or a combination thereof. All tenant improvement allowances received by the Company are recorded as a deferred lease incentive and amortized over the term of the lease.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on equipment is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the assets to operations over their estimated service lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements | 15 years or lease terms | |
Furniture and equipment | 3 years | |
Restaurant equipment | 5 years | |
Office equipment | 3 years |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of the existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its’ carrying value.
If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Goodwill
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount (a triggering event). Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, a quantitative test is necessary, and the Company would perform a one-step impairment test comparing the fair value of the entity with its carrying value. The excess carrying value over fair value, if any, would represent the impairment loss.
In testing goodwill for impairment, Management has the option first to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired, or the reporting unit can bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test by comparing the carrying amount, including goodwill, of the entity with its fair value. Management did not note any triggering events as of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020 and determined that no impairment has occurred. The goodwill impairment loss, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of an entity, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value. Any subsequent increase in goodwill value is not recognized. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value.

Intangible Assets
Trademarks represent the value of expected future royalty income associated with the ownership of the Company’s brand. Other non-amortizable intangible assets consist of the liquor licenses. Trademarks and the liquor licenses acquired at acquisition are not amortized. Instead, they are tested for impairment annually or upon a triggering event unless it is subsequently determined that the intangible asset has a finite useful life. At each reporting period, trademarks and other non-amortizable intangible assets are assessed to determine if any changes in facts or circumstances require a re-evaluation of the estimated value. Impairment tests for trademarks include comparing the fair value of the respective reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company uses a methodology in conducting these impairment assessments, which includes cash flow analyses that the Company believes are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants would use. Where applicable, an appropriate discount rate is used that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the projected cash flows.
Other intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and periodically reviewed for impairment should indicators of possible impairment arise. Amortizable intangible assets consist of favorable leases and franchise agreements, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over six and twenty-one years; respectively, which is representative of the economic benefits the Company expects to receive from the respective agreements.
Management’s annual impairment test for indefinite lived intangibles is performed annually in the third quarter, and Management has determined that no impairment occurred. In addition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount for an asset may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates, for impairment, the carrying value of acquired definite lived intangible assets by comparing the carrying value to the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the intangible assets. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, a loss is recorded in the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, goodwill, and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if an impairment is indicated by its carrying value not being recoverable through undiscounted cash flows. Impairment is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset, generally estimated using discounted cash flows. There was no impairment recorded for the fiscal periods ended June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020.

Insurance
We self-insure a significant portion of expected losses under its general liability programs. Accrued liabilities have been recorded based on estimates of the ultimate costs to settle incurred claims, both reported and not yet reported. These recorded estimated liabilities, which are included in Other accruals line item in Note 5 – Accrued Liabilities, are based upon the aggregate of the expected liability for reported claims and the estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported, based on historical claims experience adjusted as necessary based upon management’s reasoned judgment.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs include costs associated with the opening and organizing of new stores or conversion of existing stores, including the cost of feasibility studies, pre-opening rent, training, recruiting, and traveling for employees engaged in such pre-opening activities. All such costs are expensed as incurred.
Sales Tax
Sales taxes collected from guests are excluded from revenues. The obligation is included in accrued liabilities until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $3,325,146 and $2,367,674 for the twenty-four weeks ended June 13, 2021 and June 14, 2020.
Revenue Recognition
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standards update outlines a single comprehensive model for an entity to utilize to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods and services. The ASU and all subsequently issued clarifying ASUs replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in US GAAP. The ASU also required expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company elected to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption to those contracts which were entered into subsequent to the Date of Acquisition and not completed as of that day.

Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company derives its revenues from area development, franchise, royalty and marketing fees from each franchise partner. The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers through the following steps:
● | Identification of the contract with a customer | |

The Company has entered into area development agreements with its franchise partners whereby they will open varying numbers of Twin Peaks restaurants within a designated geographic area over the next one to eight years following their respective agreement dates. Area development fees required to be paid are upfront, non-refundable fees which serve as a prepayment for all or a portion of the initial franchise fee for each location to be opened under the area development agreement. The area development fees are recognized ratably over the term of the related franchise agreement beginning at the opening date of the franchise location. Additionally, the Company receives upfront, non-refundable initial franchise fees (when not fully satisfied by the fee paid under the area development agreement) that are recognized ratably over the term of the related franchise agreement beginning at the opening date of the franchise location.
The Company receives variable sales-based royalty fees from the franchisee at the rate of 5% of gross sales, payable on a weekly basis. Royalty fees are recognized in the period in which the related sales occur.
The Company receives variable sales-based marketing fees from the franchisee at the rate of 2.5% of gross sales, payable on a weekly basis. Marketing fees are recognized in the period in which the related sales occur.
The Company receives rebate income from purchases from vendors which is recorded in other revenue. Rebate income is recognized as purchases are made by franchise owners from vendors and rebates are earned.
The Company’s agreements generally do not include any significant financing components.
Performance Obligations
The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations as the franchise partner utilizes the franchise right and as services are rendered each month. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is satisfied over time.
Royalty and marketing fees are recognized over time using the “sales-based royalty” exception, which states that revenue will be recognized at the later of when the subsequent sales occur or when the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of the performance obligation to which the royalty relates occurs.
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) for executed agreements includes deferred revenue yet to be recognized from area development and initial franchise fees. The Company recognized $150 and $100 thousand in revenue for the twenty-four weeks ending June 13, 2021 and June 14, 2020, respectively. As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company’s remaining performance obligations approximated $2.3 million and $2.5 million, of which approximately 6% will be recognized over the next twelve months and the remaining 94% thereafter.
In this balance, the Company does not include the value of unsatisfied performance obligations related to those agreements for which it recognizes revenue at the amount for which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Additionally, this balance does not include revenue related to performance obligations that are part of an agreement with an original expected duration of one year or less. Lastly, this balance does not include variable consideration recognized using the sales-based royalty exception.

As part of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company has elected the following practical expedients provided for in the standard.
1) | The Company is excluding from its transaction price all sales and similar taxes collected from its customers. | |
2) | The portfolio approach has been elected by the Company as it expects any effects of adoption would not be materially different in application at the portfolio level compared with the application at an individual agreement level. | |
3) | The Company has elected the “right to invoice” expedient which states that for performance obligations satisfied over time, if an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, the entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. | |
4) | The Company has elected not to disclose information about its remaining performance obligations for any agreement that has an original expected duration of one year or less. | |
5) | The Company has elected not to disclose information about its remaining performance obligations for variable consideration that is a sales-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property. | |
6) | The Company has elected to disclose rebates in the “Other Revenue” line. Rebates are based on volume purchases with the specified vendors. |
The Company records food and beverage revenues from company-owned stores upon sale to the customer. Neither the type of service sold, nor the location of sale significantly impacts the nature, amount, timing, or uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.
The Company records a liability in the period in which a gift card is sold. As gift cards are redeemed, the liability is reduced. When gift cards are redeemed at a franchisee-operated restaurant, the revenue and related administrative costs are recognized by the franchisee. The Company recognizes revenue and related administrative costs when gift cards are redeemed at Company-operated restaurants. The gift card breakage approximates 20% and has been immaterial to date.
The company does not currently incur direct incremental costs to obtain new Franchise Agreements.
Deferred Development and Franchise Fees
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting within the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies performance obligations at contract inception so that it can monitor and account for the obligations over the life of the contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price in a contract allocated to products and services not yet transferred to the customer. As of June 13, 2021, and December 27, 2020 the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $2.6 and $2.5 million.

Income Taxes
The Company is a limited liability company and is not required to pay federal income tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax expense has been recorded in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The Company’s federal taxable income or loss has been included in the member’s respective income tax return. The Company is subject to state income taxes as applicable.
The Company applies FASB ASC 740-10 - Income Taxes in establishing standards for accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions with the presumption of audit detection and applies a “more likely than not” standard to evaluate the recognition of tax benefits or provisions. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefits or provisions to record in the financial statements. First, the Company determines whether any amount may be recognized and then determines how much of a tax benefit or provision should be recognized. As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company has no uncertain tax positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For nonpublic entities, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted for tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”), which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”), which clarifies the treatment of certain credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”), which provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2019-11”), which provides guidance around how to report expected recoveries. ASU 2016-13, ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 (collectively, “ASC 326”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The standard requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, deferring the effective date of this standards update to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, which permitted private entities that have not yet issued their financial statements or made financial statements available for issuance as of June 3, 2020 to adopt Topic 842 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

7. Notes Payable
At the Date of Acquisition, the Company paid off its existing debt agreements and entered into a new debt facility (the “Credit Agreement”) to facilitate the acquisition. As of December 29, 2019 the Credit Agreement provide for, among other things, (a) a term loan with a commitment of $64,350,000 (Term Loan), (b) a revolver of $12,000,000 (Revolver), and (c) development line of credit (DLOC) of $23,000,000, all of which are due March 29, 2024.
On March 10, 2020, the Company borrowed from the DLOC in the amount of $3,500,000 consisting of LIBOR loans with an interest period of six months. The Company received the borrowing on March 13, 2020. On March 16, 2020, the Company borrowed from the revolver in the amount of $12,000,000 consisting of LIBOR loans with an interest period of six months. The Company received the borrowing on March 19,2020.
On October 8, 2020 the Company Amended the Credit Agreement to obtain a waiver of debt covenants that were unable to be maintained due to the impact of Covid-19 on operations. The amendment adjusted the leverage to EBITDA ratios, increased the interest rate, and reduced the DLOC capacity to $12,000,000. At the execution of the Amendment the Company repaid the $12,000,000 outstanding on the Revolver.
As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020 the DLOC Commitment of $3,500,000 and the term loan of $62,400,000 and $63,050,000 were outstanding, respectively.
Interest on all borrowings under the Credit Agreement is paid monthly . The Credit Agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus 7.5% (amended from 5.75%, and will reduce in accordance with meeting certain leverage ratios back to 5.75%) with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $325,000. The DLOC draw period ends on October 15, 2021 and payments commence on January 1, 2022. The revolver has no required payments.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The agreement requires, among other things, maintenance by the Company of minimum levels of leverage to EBITDA ratio. As of June 13, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
In conjunction with the Credit Agreement borrowings, $1,327,500 in transaction fees were capitalized as deferred financing costs, to be amortized over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest method.

In conjunction with the letter of credit, the Company maintains a $5,000,000 cash collateral account with the issuing bank which is included in cash on the balance sheet as of June 13, 2021.
Paycheck Protection Program
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.
It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19.
The Company applied for and received approximately $12.9 million for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program on April 22, 2020. Prior to December 27, 2020 the Company applied for forgiveness of $12.2 million of the loan and repaid $0.7 million of the loan related to a location that was permanently closed post-Covid and therefore not eligible for forgiveness. The PPP loan carries an interest rate of 1.00%. The Company accrued interest of $84,877 in fiscal year 2020 but no interest payments were required in fiscal year 2020. The PPP loan has a two-year repayment schedule for any unforgiven amounts, no principal payments were required in fiscal year 2020.
The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The PPP loan is subject to any new guidance and new requirements released by the Department of the Treasury who has indicated that all companies that have received funds in excess of $2.0 million will be subject to a government (SBA) audit to further ensure PPP loans are limited to eligible borrowers in need. See subsequent events footnote for more. During the quarter ended June 13, 2021, all remaining PPP loans totaling $12.2m were forgiven. The Company recorded the derecognition of this liability as of the forgiveness dates. A corresponding gain on PPP loan forgiveness has been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations recorded in Other income.

12. Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2021, FAT Brands, Inc. completed its previously announced acquisition from Twin Peaks Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”) of Twin Peaks and its subsidiaries, which franchise and operate a chain of sports lodge restaurants. FAT Brands Inc. acquired Twin Peaks Holdings, LLC. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries including Twin Restaurant Holding, LLC. FAT Brands Inc. completed the issuance and sale in a private offering through its special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary, FAT Brands Twin Peaks I, LLC (the “Issuer”), of an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 of Series 2021-1 Fixed Rate Secured Notes (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used by the Company to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Twin Peaks Buyer, LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “Twin Peaks”) in the transaction. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the Company contributed to the Issuer 100% of its ownership interest in Twin Peaks Buyer, LLC, including all of its subsidiaries and operations, pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated October 1, 2021.
The purchase price for the acquisition was 300,000,000, paid for by the Company in the form of $222,1,500,000 in cash, $10,350,000 Note Payable and 2,847,393 shares of the Company’s Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Consideration”). The Company agreed to register for resale the Preferred Stock Consideration and maintain the effectiveness of such registration for up to six years. The Seller has agreed to a lock-up period following the Closing with respect to the Preferred Stock Consideration, during which time the Seller may not offer, sell or transfer any interest in such shares. The lock-up provisions restrict sales until March 31, 2022 for 1,793,858 shares (the “Initial Put/Call Shares”) and September 30, 2022 for the remaining 1,053,535 shares (the “Secondary Put/Call Shares”), subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Put/Call Agreement (as defined below).
