- Certain information included in this Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases, in other written communications, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized officers may contain “forward-looking” statements about our current and expected performance trends, growth plans, business goals and other matters.
- Based on historical redemption rates, a portion of our gift card sales are not expected to be redeemed and will be recognized as gift card “breakage.” Estimated gift card breakage is recorded as revenue and recognized in proportion to our historical redemption pattern, unless there is a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift cards to government authorities.
- We allocate the transaction price between the goods delivered and the future goods that will be delivered, on a relative standalone selling price basis, and defer the revenues allocated to the points, less expected expirations, until such points are redeemed.
- Based on current operations, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, coupled with cash generated from operations and availability under our credit agreement will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
- Our future operating performance will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
- There can be no assurance that such allowances will be available to us on each project.
- We own substantially all of the equipment, furniture and trade fixtures in our restaurants and currently plan to do so in the future.
- We expect to fund our net capital expenditures with our current cash balance on hand, cash flows from operations and our line of credit.
