Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Quarters Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Nature of Operations
 
BAB, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000.  The Company currently operates, franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the Big Apple Bagels ("BAB"), My Favorite Muffin ("MFM") and Brewster's Coffee trade names. At February 29, 2008, the Company had 126 units in operation in 26 states, including 2 International units in United Arab Emirates. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under licensing agreements with Mrs. Fields Famous Brands (Mrs. Fields), Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard and through direct home delivery of specialty muffin gift baskets and coffee.

The BAB brand franchised and Company-owned stores feature daily baked bagels, flavored cream cheeses, premium coffees, gourmet bagel sandwiches and other related products. Licensed BAB units serve the Company's par-baked frozen bagel and related products baked daily.  BAB units are primarily concentrated in the Midwest and Western United States.  The MFM brand consists of units operating as "My Favorite Muffin," featuring a large variety of freshly baked muffins, coffees and related products, and units operating as "My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe," featuring these products as well as a variety of specialty bagel sandwiches and related products.  MFM units are primarily in the Middle Atlantic States.   Although the Company doesn't actively market Brewster's stand-alone franchises, Brewster's coffee products are sold in the Company-owned store and most franchised units.  In addition, the Company’s franchised and Company-owned stores derive income from wholesale of Jacobs Bros. Bagels, also registered as a trademark of the Company.
    
The Company has grown significantly since its initial public offering through growth in franchise units and the development of alternative distribution channels for its branded products.  The Company is leveraging on the natural synergy of distributing muffin products in existing BAB units and, alternatively, bagel products and Brewster's Coffee in existing MFM units. The Company expects to continue to realize efficiencies in servicing the combined base of BAB and MFM franchisees.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations: nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 2007 which was filed February 27, 2008.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of such interim periods and the financial position as of the end of said period. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

4.  Long-Term Debt

On June 25, 2004, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement ("Bank Agreement") with Associated Bank which provided for a term loan in the original amount of $723,700.  The term loan under the Bank Agreement was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and was being repaid in monthly installments of $21,900, including interest at a rate of 5.5 percent per annum, with final payment due July 1, 2007.  Final payment was made in July, 2007.

The current total debt balance of $251,567 represents a note payable to a former shareholder that requires an annual payment of $35,000, including interest at 4.75%, due October 1 and running through 2016.


5.  Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (Plan).  The Plan reserved 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant.  As of February 29, 2008, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees.  As of February 29, 2008, there were 1,007,627 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

    -       (40,167 )
                 
Options outstanding - end of period
    392,373       392,782  

Effective December 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method.  Under this method, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes and the Company recognizes compensation cost using a fair-value based method for all share-based payments granted after November 30, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees up through November 30, 2006 that remain unvested at that time.  Prior to December 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  The Company recorded compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Company’s stock option plan of approximately $8,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2008 and $9,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2007.

As of February 29, 2008, there was approximately $47,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plan.  That cost is to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.75 years.

The Company uses historical volatility of common stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options to estimate their fair value.  The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. To value option grants and other awards for actual and pro forma stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model. When the measurement date is certain, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant and is based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments.

The Company’s stock options expire in 10 years and vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period over five years.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at February 29, 2008:


Options Outstanding
   
Options Exercisable

Aggregate Intrinsic Value
 
  392,373       8.04     $ 1.12     $ -       173,206     $ 0.96     $ -  

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $.93 as of the last business day of the period ended February 29, 2008.  No options were exercised during the quarter ended February 29, 2008.

 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment upon adoption of the standard and annually thereafter.  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process.  The first step is to identify a potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any.   Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets exceeds its estimated fair value.  SFAS No. 142 requires that indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment using a one-step process, which consists of a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the intangible asset.  Intangible assets are deemed to be impaired if the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value.  The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter ended February 29, 2008, and it indicated no impairment of goodwill. 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

9.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.  FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law.  FIN No. 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.  Effective December 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48.  The Company files a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in various state jurisdictions.  Review of the Company’s possible tax uncertainties as of February 29, 2008 did not result in any positions requiring disclosure.  Should the Company need to record interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions or other tax authority assessments, it would classify such expenses as part of the income tax provision.  The Company has not changed any of its tax policies or adopted any new tax positions during the quarter ended February 29, 2008 and believes it has filed appropriate tax returns in all jurisdictions for which it has nexus.  This review included the Company’s net deferred income tax asset of $500,000, which management believes will be realized over future profitable years.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Effective December 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 157.  Adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Effective December 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 159.  Adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces FASB Statement No. 141.  SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010).  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010).  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
10. Subsequent Event

On April 10, 2008, the Company will pay out a $0.02 per share quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 2008.  Total dividend payment will be $145,270.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces FASB Statement No. 141.  SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010).  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010).  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.  The Company's most critical accounting policies are related to the following areas: revenue recognition, long-lived assets, concentrations of credit risks, valuation allowance and deferred taxes.  Details regarding the Company's use of these policies and the related estimates are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2008.  There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies that impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the three months ended February 29, 2008.


ITEM 3.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of February 29, 2008.  Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer confirm that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 29, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
