Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarter and Year to Date Periods Ended May 31, 2009 and 2008

(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 May 31, 2009, the Company had 107 franchised 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 Your All Day Bakery Cafe," featuring these products as well as a variety of specialty bagel sandwiches and related products. 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.

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, 2008 which was filed February 20, 2009. 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.

2. Stores Open and Under Development

Stores which are open or under development at May 31, 2009 are as follows:

3. (Loss)/Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings/ (loss) per share:

Earnings/loss per share - Diluted	$	0.02	$	0.02	$	(0.31	)	$	0.04

369,373 potential shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Long-Term Debt

The total debt balance of $228,516 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 reserves 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant. As of May 31, 2009, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees. As of May 31, 2009, there were 1,030,627 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

	6 Months Ended

Table of Contents

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 $5,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2009 and $14,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2008.

As of May 31, 2009, there was approximately $25,000 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 2.5 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 option terms expire in 10 years and vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period of five years.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at May 31, 2009:

Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Outstanding		Wghtd. Avg.		Wghtd. Avg.		Aggregate		Exercisable		Wghtd. Avg.		Aggregate
at 5/31/2009		Remaining Life		Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value		at 5/31/2009		Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value
	369,373		6.79	$	1.12	$	-		189,373	$	1.00	$	-

There is no computation for the aggregate intrinsic value in the table above because the outstanding options weighted average exercise price was greater than the Company’s closing stock price of $.41 as of the last business day of the period ended May 31, 2009. No options were exercised during the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

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

Following the guidelines contained in SFAS No. 142, the corporation tests goodwill and intangible assets that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill and intangible assets were tested at the end of the first fiscal quarter, February 28, 2009 and it was found that the carrying value of the goodwill and intangible assets were impaired.

An impairment test was performed at February 28, 2009 based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plans projected for expected future cash flows. Based on the computation of the discounted cash flows, it was determined that the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets exceed their carrying value by $2,399,000.

A charge of $2,399,000 was recorded against goodwill and other intangibles at February 28, 2009. Management does not believe that any further impairment exists at May 31, 2009.

7. Segment Information

The following table presents segment information for the six months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008:

Total segment assets changed for the six months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to November 30, 2008. This change represented impairment of intangible assets of $2,399,057. Trademarks and goodwill are $1,920,438 at May 31, 2009 compared to $4,306,439 at November 30, 2008. Other changes in segment assets were not significant.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 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 No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010). The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material effect on the Company’s current consolidated financial statements, but would impact any future business combinations entered into after adoption of the pronouncement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 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 No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (Company’s Fiscal 2010). The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008 the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversite Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date—that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.

Certain risks and uncertainties are wholly or partially outside the control of the Company and its management, including its ability to attract new franchisees; the continued success of current franchisees; the effects of competition on franchisees and Company-owned store results; consumer acceptance of the Company's products in new and existing markets; fluctuation in development and operating costs; brand awareness; availability and terms of capital; adverse publicity; acceptance of new product offerings; availability of locations and terms of sites for store development; food, labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulation (including increases in the minimum wage); regional economic and weather conditions; the hiring, training, and retention of skilled corporate and restaurant management; and the integration and assimilation of acquired concepts. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

The Company has 1 Company-owned store, 107 franchised and 3 licensed units at May 31, 2009. Units in operation at May 31, 2008 included 1 Company-owned store, 122 franchised and 3 licensed units. System-wide revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2009 were $19.2 million as compared to May 31, 2008 which were $22.3 million.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees, from the operation of Company-owned stores and receipt of franchise fees. Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of licensed products (My Favorite Muffin mix, Big Apple Bagels cream cheese and Brewster's coffee), and through licensing agreements (Kohr Bros. and Mrs. Fields Famous Brands).

The Company had 18 employees at the Corporate level to oversee operations of the franchise, licensed and Company-owned store operations at May 31, 2009 and 19 at May 31, 2008.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended May 31, 2009 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2008

For the three months ended May 31, 2009, the Company reported net income of $111,000 versus net income of $177,000 for the same period in 2008. Total revenue of $797,000 decreased $148,000, or 15.7%, for the three months ended May 31, 2009, as compared to total revenue of $945,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

Royalty fee revenue of $484,000, for the quarter ended May 31, 2009, decreased $74,000, or 13.3%, from the $558,000 for quarter ended May 31, 2008.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have concluded that as of the six months ended May 31, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

Table of Contents

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009.

Additionally, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
