Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended August 31, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

BAB, Inc (“the Company”) has two wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”) and BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagels® (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. My Favorite Muffin Too, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was acquired on May 13, 1997 and is included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s Franchise Corporations (“Brewster’s”) was established on February 15, 1996 and is also included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s® Coffee is sold in BAB and My Favorite Muffin® (“MFM”) locations as well as through license agreements. Operations was formed on August 30, 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores. There are currently no Company-owned stores. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels® (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired on February 1, 1999, and any branded wholesale business uses this trademark.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000. The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB and MFM trade names. At August 31, 2013 the Company had 95 franchise units and 5 licensed units in operation in 25 states. 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 Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard, Kaleidoscoops, Green Beans Coffee, Sodexo and through direct home delivery of specialty muffin gift baskets and coffee. Also included in licensing fees and other income is Operation’s Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provides the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, posters, menu panels, build charts, outside window stickers and counter signs.

On August 22, 2013 the first SweetDuet Frozen Yogurt & Gourmet Muffins® (“SweetDuet”) opened in Kalamazoo, MI. It is owned by a current BAB franchisee. A second location opened in Portage, MI on September 25, 2013 to another BAB franchisee. While BAB will be offering franchises in all 50 states, its initial development focus is targeted for the Midwest, specifically Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio. As part of its introductory development plan, BAB will be donating 10% of the initial franchise fee from its first 50 SweetDuet units to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, of which BAB is a corporate sponsor. SweetDuet, as its name implies, is a fusion concept, pairing self-serve frozen yogurt with BAB’s exclusive line of My Favorite Muffin gourmet muffins, broadening the shop’s offering and therefore differentiating itself from the numerous frozen yogurt outlets already populating the market. SweetDuet shops will also include BAB’s Brewster’s Coffee and a streamlined breakfast menu. The SweetDuet concept will be included as part of Systems franchise operating and financial information.

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-K for the year ended November 30, 2012 which was filed February 22, 2013. 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. Units Open and Under Development

Units which are open or under development at August 31, 2013 are as follows:

Locations open:

Franchisees			95
Licensed			5
Under development			5
Total			105

3. Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the 3 months ended August 31,				For the 9 months ended August 31,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Numerator:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	108,260	$	63,223	$	168,342	$	340,138

Denominator:
Weighted average outstanding shares
Basic		7,263,508		7,263,508		7,263,508		7,263,508
Earnings per Share - Basic	$	0.01	$	0.01	$	0.02	$	0.05

Effect of dilutive common stock		6,172		2,426		4,372		2,278
Weighted average outstanding shares
Diluted		7,269,680		7,265,934		7,267,880		7,265,786
Earnings per share - Diluted	$	0.01	$	0.01	$	0.02	$	0.05

The Company excluded 350,400 potential shares attributable to outstanding stock options from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Long-Term Debt

The total debt balance of $125,000 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 February 28, 2013, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees. As of August 31, 2013, there were 1,031,627 stock options exercised or forfeited under the Plan.

	August 31, 2013 Options	August 31, 2013 Options
Options Outstanding at beginning of period	368,373	368,373
Granted	0	0
Forfeited	0	0
Exercised	0	0
Options Outstanding at end of period	368,373	368,373

All compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses was expensed as of November 30, 2011.

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 August 31, 2013:

Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Outstanding		Wghtd. Avg.		Wghtd. Avg.		Aggregate		Exercisable		Wghtd. Avg.		Aggregate
at 8/31/13		Remaining Life		Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value		at 8/31/13		Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value
	368,373		2.55	$	1.16	$	-		368,373	$	1.16	$	-

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 $0.80 as of the last business day of the period ended August 31, 2013. No options were exercised during the nine month period ended August 31, 2013.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142) “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests. The Company follows this guidance.

The Company tests goodwill that is not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill was tested at the end of the first quarter, February 28, 2013 and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

The impairment test performed February 28, 2013 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment has occurred.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that there are any recently issued and effective, or not yet effective, pronouncements as of August 31, 2013 that would have, or are expected to have, any significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

8. Equity

On May 7, 2013 BAB Inc. adopted a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement (“Rights Plan”) and declared a dividend distribution of one right (equivalent to one one-thousandth of a preferred share), for each outstanding share of common stock. The Rights Plan is intended to protect BAB and its stockholders from efforts to obtain control of BAB that the Board of Directors determines are not in the best interest of BAB and its stockholders. BAB issued one Right for each current share of stock outstanding at the close of business on May 13, 2013. The rights will not be exercisable unless a person or group acquires 15% (20% institutional investors) or more of BAB’s common stock.

9. Contingency

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of such proceedings or claims will have a material effect on our financial position. Except as stated below, we know of no pending or threatened proceeding or claim to which we are or will be a party.

On July 8, 2013, a judgment was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the amount of $84,000 against BAB Operations, Inc (“Operations”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and in favor of a former landlord of Operations, Alecta Real Estate USA, LLC. Operations, the subsidiary which owned Company stores, had been a tenant operating a Big Apple Bagels store in Glenview, Illinois from 1999 to 2001 when it sold the store and assigned the lease to a franchisee. The store was sold and the lease was assigned three more times over the next 10 years. In 2011, the final owner of the store closed it and defaulted on the lease. Operations, which no longer owns any Company stores, was sued for a continuing guaranty in connection with the original assignment of the lease in 2001. Operations contended that it bore no liability because of language in one of the subsequent assignments releasing it from any further liability.

On August 15, 2013, an additional judgment of $70,030 was entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County for this same matter for plaintiff’s attorney’s fees bringing the total judgment to $154,030. In September 2013 the Company filed an appeal.

The Company and its trial and appellate counsel believe that we will prevail on appeal and that it is only reasonably possible that the Court’s ruling will be upheld as it is contrary to applicable Illinois precedent. The Company believes there will be zero damages assessed based on prior favorable rulings in similar cases; accordingly, no amounts have been accrued for any potential losses in this matter.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements regarding the development of the Company's business, the markets for the Company's products, anticipated capital expenditures, and the effects of completed and proposed acquisitions, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements as is within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as set forth in this report, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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

There are 95 franchised and 5 licensed units at August 31, 2013. Units in operation at August 31, 2012 included 97 franchised and 6 licensed units. System-wide revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2013 were $27.2 million as compared to August 31, 2012 which were $28.5 million.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees and receipt of initial 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 and nontraditional channels of distribution (Kohr Bros., Kaleidoscoops, Green Beans Coffee and Sodexo). Also included in licensing fees and other income is Operation’s Sign Shop revenue. The Sign Shop provides the majority of signage, which includes but is not limited to, posters, menu panels, build charts, outside window stickers and counter signs to franchisees to provide consistency and convenience.

Royalty fees represent a 5% fee on net retail and wholesale sales of franchised units. Royalty revenues are recognized on an accrual basis using actual franchise receipts. Generally, franchisees report and remit royalties on a weekly basis. The majority of month-end receipts are recorded on an accrual basis based on actual numbers from reports received from franchisees shortly after the month-end. Estimates are utilized in certain instances where actual numbers have not been received and such estimates are based on the average of the last 10 weeks’ actual reported sales.

The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue upon the opening of a franchise store. Direct costs associated with the franchise sale are deferred until the franchise fee revenue is recognized. These costs include site approval, construction approval, commissions, blueprints and training costs.

The Company earns a licensing fee from the sale of BAB branded products, which includes coffee, cream cheese, muffin mix, scoop and bake muffin batter and par baked bagels from a third-party commercial bakery, to the franchised and licensed units.

As of August 31, 2013, the Company employed 14 full-time and 2 part-time employees at the Corporate office. The employees are responsible for corporate management and oversight, accounting, advertising and franchising. None of the Company's employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements and management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

It is the Company’s intent going forward to declare and pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis if warranted.

Cash Distribution and Dividend Policy

It is the Company’s intent that future cash distributions/dividends will be considered after reviewing profitability expectations and financing needs and will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Due to the general economic downturn and its impact on the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient earnings to pay out cash distributions/dividends. The Company will continue to analyze its ability to pay cash distributions/dividends on a quarterly basis.

The Company believes that for tax purposes the cash distribution declared in 2013 may be treated as a return of capital to stockholders depending on each stockholder’s basis or it may be treated as a dividend or a combination of the two. Determination of whether it is a cash distribution, cash dividend or combination of the two will not be made until after December 31, 2013, as the classification or combination is dependent upon the Company’s earnings and profits for tax purposes for its fiscal year ending November 30, 2013.

The Company believes execution of this policy will not have any material adverse effect on its ability to fund current operations or future capital investments.
