Current report

During the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2024, impairment indicators were identified at our Sequoia property located in Washington, D.C. due to lower than expected operating results. Accordingly, the Company tested the recoverability of Sequoia's ROU and long-lived assets and concluded they were not recoverable. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,561,000 and $939,000 related to Sequoia's ROU and long-lived assets, respectively. The Company continued to monitor the performance of Sequoia throughout fiscal 2025 and, as a result of lower than expected operating results we tested the recoverability of its ROU and long-lived assets as of June 28, 2025. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, we recognized additional impairment charges of $2,940,000 and $1,760,000 during the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2025 related to Sequoia's ROU and long-lived assets, respectively. Given the inherent uncertainty in projecting results of restaurants, the Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets of Sequoia and several other restaurants on an ongoing basis. If expected performance is not realized, further impairment charges may be recognized in future periods, and such charges could be material.

Previous wording

The Company's agreements with the Bryant Park Corporation (the “Landlord”), (a private non-profit corporation that operates and maintains Bryant Park under agreements with the City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation) for the Bryant Park Grill & Cafe expired on April 30, 2025 and for The Porch at Bryant Park expired on March 31, 2025. In July of 2023 (for the Bryant Park Grill & Cafe) and September of 2023 (for The Porch at Bryant Park), the Company received requests for proposals (the "RFPs") from the Landlord to which we responded on October 26, 2023. The agreements offered under the RFPs for both locations were for new 10-year agreements, with one five-year renewal option. In the second quarter of 2025, the Landlord stated publicly that it had selected a new operator for the Bryant Park Grill & Caféand The Porch at Bryant Park. However, to the best of our knowledge, no agreements between the Landlord and the selected operator have received the approvals of either the City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation or the New York Public Library, both of which are required before any new lease can become effective.

Previous wording

Management has been working with outside advisors in assisting with our efforts to obtain the extensions by ensuring the RFP awards process was both fair and transparent. On March 28, 2025, we filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court (the "Court"), alleging among other things, that the bid process conducted by the Landlord was defective, failed to comply with the provisions of the agreements underlying the Landlord’s right to operate Bryant Parkand violated applicable law; that, a lease was being awarded to a lower bidder with a limited, unsuccessful track record in the hospitality business; and that the award of the Cafe lease violated our right of first lease under our lease agreements. As part of the relief sought, we are requesting that the Court declare that, under the circumstances presented, the Landlord was required to accept—and should have accepted —our submitted bids. In addition, on March 28, 2025, we also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in Court to enjoin the Landlord from commencing legal proceedings to evict the Company from the Bryant Park Grill & Caféand The Porch at Bryant Park premises. On April 24, 2025, the Court denied the motion. We have filed a notice of appeal of the ruling. On April 29, 2025, we also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department. That motion is now pending. While the Company has received a “notice to quit” the premises, no lawsuit has been commenced against the Company to terminate its tenancy.

On June 16, 2025, the Company filed an amended complaint in the New York Action, adding a cause of action for age discrimination by the Landlord in its selection of a new operator for the Bryant Park Grill & Café and The Porch at Bryant Park. On June 26, 2025, the Landlord filed counterclaims against the Company in the New York Action seeking, among other things, to eject the Company from the Bryant Park Grill & Café and The Porch at Bryant Park premises. The Company has continued to make all required use and occupancy payments for the Bryant Park Grill & Café and The Porch at Bryant Park, and will continue to make such payments.

Previous wording

Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is unable to predict the outcome of this matter at this time. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, The Bryant Park Grill & Cafeand The Porch at Bryant Park, collectively, accounted for $12.7 million and $13.6 million of our total revenues for the 26 weeks ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, respectively, which represented approximately 15.0% and 15.1% of our total revenue for such periods, respectively. The Company’s inability to extend or renew these leases on favorable terms, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest September 30. We report fiscal years under a 52/53-week format. This reporting method is used by many companies in the hospitality industry and is meant to improve year-to-year comparisons of operating results. Under this method certain years will contain 53 weeks. The periods ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 each included 13 and 26 weeks.

Previous wording

The Company has substantial fixed costs that do not decline proportionally with sales. Although our business is highly seasonal, our broader geographical reach as a result of recent acquisitions mitigates some of the risk. For instance, the second quarter of our fiscal year, consisting of the non-holiday portion of the cold weather season in New York and Washington, D.C. (January, February and March), is the poorest performing quarter; however, in recent years this has been partially offset by our locations in Florida as they experience increased results in the winter months. We generally achieve our best results during the warm weather, attributable to our extensive outdoor dining availability, particularly at Bryant Park in New York and Sequoia in Washington, D.C. (our largest restaurants) and our outdoor cafes. However, even during summer months these facilities can be adversely affected by unusually cool or rainy weather conditions. Our facilities in Las Vegas are indoor and generally operate on a more consistent basis throughout the year.
