1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
BurgerFi International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“BurgerFi,” or the “Company,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”), is a multi-brand restaurant company that develops, markets and acquires fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurant concepts around the world, including corporate-owned stores and franchises located in the United States, Puerto Rico and Saudi Arabia. On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired (the “Anthony's acquisition”) 100% of the outstanding shares of Hot Air, Inc. (“Hot Air”). Hot Air, through its subsidiaries, owns the business of operating upscale casual dining restaurants in the specialty pizza and wings segment under the name “Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings” (“Anthony's”).
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 183 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants of the 2 following brands:
BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 122 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as of June 30, 2022, offering burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more.
Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a pizza and wing brand that operated 61 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of June 30, 2022. The concept is centered around a coal fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
As of June 30, 2022, the Company operated on a calendar year-end. Anthony's uses a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year-end and its fiscal year ends on the Monday closest to December 31. Differences arising from the different fiscal year-ends were not deemed material for the period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year presentation to conform to the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, results from operations and cash flows of BurgerFi International, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has considered the effect of (1) warrants outstanding to purchase 15,063,800 shares of common stock and (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, (3) 1,620,869 shares of restricted stock unit grants in the calculation of income per share, and (4) the impact of any dividends associated with our redeemable preferred stock.

New Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and disclose certain information about the leasing arrangements. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance, which includes allowing the Company to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard as of the first day of fiscal year 2022 using the modified retrospective approach without restating comparative periods. See Note 13. Leases for further disclosures upon adoption.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | Goodwill, gross | | Accumulated Impairment Loss | | Goodwill, net |
BurgerFi | | $ | 123,981 | | | $ | (123,981) | | | $ | — | |
Anthony's | | 80,684 | | | (37,663) | | | 43,021 | |
Total | | $ | 204,665 | | | $ | (161,644) | | | $ | 43,021 | |
| | | | | | |
The Company conducts its goodwill impairment test annually in December, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company evaluates it's goodwill based on its 2 reporting units, Anthony's and BurgerFi. As a result of a significant sustained decline in the Company’s share price and market capitalization during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company conducted its impairment test as of June 30, 2022. The impairment test was conducted in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) for the reporting units' goodwill.
ASC 350 requires goodwill and other indefinite lived assets to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting units with its carrying amounts. The fair value of the reporting units were estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the ASC 350 analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, etc. for the reporting units under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach.
As a result of the ASC 350 analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $55.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to write down the remaining carrying value of goodwill for the BurgerFi brand by $17.5 million and the carrying value of goodwill for the Anthony's brand by $37.7 million. The non-cash impairment loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations under the caption “goodwill impairment” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

5. Acquisitions
On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interests of Hot Air.
The allocation of the excess purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to revision when the Company receives final information. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, become available, but will not exceed twelve months from the date of acquisition.
0We had $0.2 million in adjustments to goodwill since December 31, 2021, which were made to reflect the facts and circumstances in existence as of the date of closing of the Anthony's acquisition (the “Anthony's Closing Date”) and include updates to estimates of provisional amounts recorded for certain accruals and receivables as of the Anthony's Closing Date. The accounting for the Anthony's acquisition is considered provisional because certain aspects of the purchase price allocation including the valuation of certain acquired tax assets and accruals have not been finalized.

Contingencies
Eric Gilbert v. BurgerFi International, Inc., Ophir Sternberg, et al. (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, Case No. 2022-0185- , filed on February 25, 2022). Mr. Gilbert filed a class action lawsuit against BurgerFi International, Inc. and each of the members of the Board of Directors alleging that the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws improperly contains a provision restricting written consents by the stockholders. Mr. Gilbert sought an amendment to the bylaws, as well as attorney’ fees and costs. On March 23, 2022, BurgerFi made conforming amendments to its bylaws to remove the provision restricting written consents by the stockholders. On March 24, 2022, Mr. Gilbert filed and the Court entered an order voluntarily dismissing the action as moot and retaining jurisdiction to determine Mr. Gilbert’s application for award of attorney’s fees and expenses. At this stage, it is difficult to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of potential loss. Based on the information known to date, the Company’s potential liability appears to be reasonably possible, but the amount or range of potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated.
Corey Winograd v BurgerFi International, LLC (Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 502019-CA015256, filed December 1, 2019). Corey Winograd, the former chief executive officer of the Company, filed this suit against BurgerFi for certain alleged breaches of an employment agreement, claiming damages in excess of $15 million. BurgerFi filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on February 13, 2020. On May 20, 2020, the motion to dismiss was heard, which was granted in part and denied in part. The portion of the complaint not dismissed was answered by BurgerFi with affirmative defenses raised on July 7, 2020. Mr. Winograd served various discovery requests (including notices of non-party subpoenas) on July 9, 2020 as well as a motion to strike BurgerFi’s affirmative defenses on July 16, 2020. BurgerFi filed objections to the non-party subpoenas on July 20, 2020. On September 11, 2020, BurgerFi filed a motion to dismiss and certain claims were dismissed by the court. Mr. Winograd filed an amended complaint on August 31, 2021, which BurgerFi answered on September 30, 2021. In December 2021, Mr. Winograd filed a motion for summary judgment, which the Court denied on February 8, 2022. In February 2022, Mr. Winograd filed another motion for summary judgment, which the Court denied on May 25, 2022. During March and April of 2022, Mr. Winograd deposed several witnesses. On August 8, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement whereby a former shareholder of the Company, pursuant to the terms of that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2020, by and among OPES Acquisition Corp., BurgerFi International LLC, and certain other parties thereto, paid Mr. Winograd directly to settle this matter on behalf of the Company and such former shareholder.

(Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, index No. 654907/2021, filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a 7-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease.

Lion Point Capital Allegation. Beginning March 9, 2021 through June 22, 2022, the Company received letters from counsel to Lion Point Capital, LLC, a stockholder of the Company (“Lion Point”), alleging that the Company failed to timely register Lion Point’s shares in violation of the registration rights agreement to which Lion Point is a party, which allegedly resulted in losses in excess of $26 million. The Company responded to each claim denying that any breach had occurred or that Lion Point incurred any damages caused by the delay in the filing of the registration statement registering Lion Point's shares. We believe that all claims are meritless, and we plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the cases described above, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.
John Rosatti, as Trustee of the John Rosatti Revocable Trust U/A/D 08/27/2001 (the “JR Trust”) v. BurgerFi International, Inc. (Circuit Court for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Florida, File No. 146578749). On March 28, 2022, the JR Trust filed a suit against BurgerFi alleging that the JR Trust suffered losses in excess of $10 million relating to BurgerFi’s alleged failure to timely file a registration statement. The parties attended a mediation on August 9, 2022 but were unable to resolve the suit. The Company believes this case is without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Burger Guys of Dania Pointe, et. al. v. BFI, LLC (Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 50-2021-CA -006501-XXXX-MB, filed May 21, 2021). In response to a demand letter issued by BurgerFi to Gino Gargiulo, a former franchisee, demanding that Mr. Gargiulo pay the balance owed under an asset purchase agreement wherein BurgerFi sold the Dania Beach, Florida BurgerFi location to Mr. Gargiulo, Mr. Gargiulo filed suit against BurgerFi claiming, in addition to other matters, that no further monies are owed under the asset purchase agreement and alleges that BurgerFi is responsible for one of Gargiulo’s former failed franchises in Sunny Isles, Florida, losses he has allegedly sustained at his Dania Beach location, as well as reimbursement of expenses in connection with his marketing company. Mr. Gargiulo seeks damages in excess of $2 million in the aggregate. The parties attended mediation on January 20, 2022, but it ended in an impasse. Mr. Gargiulo amended his complaint in April 2022, which, among other matters, amended the defendant parties. In May 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and a motion to stay discovery, both of which are pending with the Court. We believe that all claims are meritless, and we plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the cases described above, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.
All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al (Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties are attending mediation to attempt to resolve the dispute. We believe that all claims are meritless, and we plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the cases described above, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Employment Related Matters
In July 2021, the Company received a demand letter from the attorney of one of our now former hourly restaurant employees. The letter alleges that the former employee was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The demand letters claim that we discriminated and retaliated against the former employee based on her gender and age and also alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, negligent training, and negligent supervision. The claimant alleges damages of more than $0.8 million.
In November 2021, a former employee filed suit alleging that she was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The lawsuit claims that we discriminated and retaliated against her and alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress, retaliation, and battery. The claimant alleges damages of $0.3 million.
In February 2020, a former employee filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC alleging age discrimination. In June 2021, the claimant filed a demand for arbitration. The parties agreed to mediate the matter before commencing the arbitration proceedings but were unable to resolve the case. A final hearing is scheduled to take place in May 2022. In July 2022, the parties agreed to settle the matter, and the Company paid a nominal amount after insurance coverage.
While we believe that all claims of the above-mentioned Employment Related Claims, which are covered under the Company’s insurance policies, are meritless, and we plan to defend these allegations, it is reasonably possible that the Company may ultimately be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants, which could be up to $1.1 million or more in aggregate compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
General Liability and Other Claims.
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise during the normal course of business, including landlord disputes, slip and fall cases, and various food related matters. While we intend to vigorously defend these matters, it is reasonably possible that the Company may be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Credit Agreement
The Company has a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks that provides up to $71.8 million in financing (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which terminates on June 15, 2024, provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $57.8 million term loan, a $4 million revolving loan, and a $10 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) provided by a related party which is a significant stockholder. The terms of the Credit Agreement require the Company to repay the principal of the term loan in quarterly installments with the balance due at the maturity date.
The loan and revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and incurs cash interest on outstanding amounts at 4.75% per annum through June 15, 2023 and 6.75% from June 16, 2023 through maturity. Pursuant to the terms of an amendment to the Credit Agreement effective as of March 9, 2022, certain of the covenants of the Credit Agreement were amended, and the Company, together with the other borrower and the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, agreed to pay incremental deferred interest of 2% per annum, in the event that the obligations under the Credit Agreement are not repaid on or prior to June 15, 2023; provided, however, that if no event of default has occurred and is continuing then (1) no incremental deferred interest will be due if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (2) only 50% of the incremental deferred interest will be owed if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid from and after January 1, 2023 and on or prior to March 31, 2023.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.2 million and $4.3 million. Included within interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is amortization of debt issuance costs in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.3 million and the amortization of related party note debt discount in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.3 million.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was de minimis.
9. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company concluded that it has a recent history of losses and has recognized a valuation allowance against the balance of its existing deferred tax assets.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.55% and 0.60%, respectively, differing from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, and the difference is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.3% and 48.7%, respectively. The tax returns for years 2018-2022 may be selected for examination by taxing authorities.

11. Fair Value Measurements
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, and other available information. The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, net, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.
The following tables summarize the fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
| | | | | | | | | | | |

The fair value of the preferred stock was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The expected future redemption payment was forecasted based on the contractual PIK (payment in kind) interest and estimated redemption date of December 31, 2024.
The fair value of the related party note is determined based on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at our incremental borrowing rates.
The fair value of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is determined based on third-party market appraisals. The fair value of our warrant liability is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the private placement warrants, private warrants, and working capital warrants was determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $3.23 on June 30, 2022 and $5.67 on December 31, 2021 and was estimated using a Dynamic Black-Scholes model. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price, risk free interest rate and volatility assumptions. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.38 and $0.75 on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The input variables for the Black-Scholes are noted in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.95 | % | | 1.11 | % |
Expected life in years | 3.47 | | 3.96 |
Expected volatility | 57.0 | % | | 41.8 | % |
Expected dividend yield | — | % | | — | % |
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include our long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets that we performed impairment testing for. In determining fair value, we used an income-based approach. As a number of assumptions and estimates were involved that are largely unobservable, they are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include revenue growth rates, royalties, gross margins, and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations.

13. Leases
On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”). Prior period amounts were not revised and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, the accounting standard then in effect.
Upon transition, on January 1, 2022, we recorded the following increases (decreases) to the respective line items on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Long-term operating lease liability | 49,149 | |
Long-term finance lease liability | 712 | |
The Company currently leases all of its corporate-owned restaurants, corporate offices, and certain equipment. The Company evaluates contracts entered into to determine whether the contract involves the use of property or equipment and evaluates whether it controls the use of the asset, which is determined by assessing whether all economic benefits from the use of the asset is obtained, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Once the Company has identified a lease, the lease is accounted for under the requirements of ASC 842.
Upon the possession of a leased asset, the Company determines its classification as an operating or finance lease. The Company's real estate leases are classified as operating leases, and the Company's equipment leases are classified as finance leases. Generally, the real estate leases have initial terms ranging from 10 years to 15 years and typically include 2 five-year renewal options. Renewal options are generally not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at commencement date that the Company would exercise the options to extend the lease. The real estate leases typically provide for fixed minimum rent payments or variable rent payments based on a percentage of monthly sales or annual changes to the Consumer Price Index. Fixed minimum rent payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date the Company takes possession of the leased property. Lease expense incurred before a corporate-owned store opens is recorded in pre-opening costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Once a corporate-owned store opens, the straight-line lease expense is recorded in occupancy and related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Many of the leases also require the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in occupancy and related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Overview
BurgerFi International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“BurgerFi” or the “Company,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a leading multi-brand restaurant company that develops, markets and acquires fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurant concepts around the world, including corporate-owned stores and franchises. On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired (the “Anthony’s acquisition”) 100% of the outstanding shares of Hot Air, Inc. ("Hot Air"). Hot Air, through its subsidiaries, owns the business of operating upscale casual dining restaurants in the specialty pizza and wings segment under the name “Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings” (“Anthony's”). The results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Anthony's is included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. As of June 30, 2022, we were the owner and franchisor of the two following brands:
BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium “better burger” experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi’s chef-driven menu offerings and eco-friendly restaurant design drive our brand communication. It offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more. Originally founded in 2011 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, the purpose was simple – “RedeFining” the way the world eats burgers by providing an upscale burger offering, at a fast-casual price point. BurgerFi is committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that promises fresh food of transparent quality. Since its inception, BurgerFi has grown to 122 BurgerFi locations, and as of June 30, 2022, was comprised of 25 corporate-owned restaurants and 97 franchised restaurants in two countries including 22 states within the United States, as well as Puerto Rico.
BurgerFi was named “Best Fast Casual Restaurant” in USA Today’s 10Best 2022 Readers Choice Awards for the second consecutive year, QSR Magazine's Breakout Brand of 2020, Fast Casual's 2021 #1 Brand of the Year and included in Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Private Companies List. In 2021, Consumer Report’s Chain Reaction Report praised BurgerFi for serving “no antibiotic beef” across all its restaurants, and Consumer Reports awarded BurgerFi an “A-Grade Angus Beef” rating for the third consecutive year.
Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a premium pizza and wing brand operating 61 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of June 30, 2022. Anthony’s prides itself on serving fresh, never frozen, high-quality ingredients. The concept is centered around a 900-degree coal fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads. The restaurants also feature a deep wine and craft beer selection to round out the menu. The pizzas are prepared using a unique coal fired oven to quickly seal in natural flavors while creating a lightly charred crust. Anthony’s provides a differentiated offering among its casual dining peers driven by its coal fired oven, which enables the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients with quicker ticket times.
Since its inception in 2002, the Anthony’s brand has grown to 61 corporate-owned locations, as of June 30, 2022, primarily along the East coast and has restaurants in eight states, including Florida (28), Pennsylvania (12), New Jersey (8), New York (5), Massachusetts (4), Delaware (2), Maryland (1), and Rhode Island (1).
Anthony’s was named “The Best Pizza Chain in America” by USA Today's Great American Bites and “Top 3 Best Major Pizza Chain” by Mashed in 2021.
Beyond our current brand portfolio, we intend to acquire other restaurant concepts that will allow us to grow and also offer additional food categories. In evaluating potential acquisitions, we specifically seek concepts with, among others, the following characteristics:
•established, recognized brands;
•long-term, sustainable operating performance;
•consistent cash flows; and
•growth potential, both geographically and through co-branding initiatives across our portfolio.
Intending to leverage our developing management platform, we expect to achieve cost synergies post-acquisition by reducing the corporate overhead of the acquired company. We also plan to grow the top line revenues of newly acquired brands through support from our management and systems platform, franchising, marketing and advertising, supply chain assistance, site selection analysis, staff training and operational oversight and support.
Segments
We have two operating and reportable segments: BurgerFi and Anthony’s. Our business generates revenue from the following sources: restaurant sales, royalty and other fees, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchised restaurants and paid by franchisees, and franchise fees, consisting primarily of licensing fees paid by franchisees, and royalty - brand development and co-op, consisting of royalties collected for advertising and related costs.
Significant Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus designated COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our corporate-owned restaurants are located. While the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have partially subsided, its effects vary by region, and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to disrupt economic conditions and business activities, particularly as new outbreaks and variants of COVID-19 arise. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent and emerging variants, could affect our business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and the continued emergence of new strains of COVID-19.
We believe that we have taken appropriate steps to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and our business model has, thus far, proven resilient. We continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and to the extent that future business activities are adversely affected by the pandemic, we intend to take appropriate actions designed to mitigate these impacts. We continue to adapt to the changing operational and economic environment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our top priority has been to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners, and we continue to monitor evolving health guidelines and respond to changes as appropriate. Notwithstanding moderation of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental and other restrictions, we may continue to experience negative effects on our business and operations from possible longer-term changes in consumer and customer behavior and/or from negative economic conditions, including recent inflationary effects on labor and food costs, supply chain disruptions and availability of labor.
We did not experience any material supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19 to date however, there can be no assurance that we will not experience supply chain challenges in the future.
We have implemented price increases in an effort to mitigate the inflationary effects of food and labor costs; however, we cannot predict the long-term impact of these negative economic conditions on our restaurant profitability. Although we have experienced some recovery since the initial impact of COVID-19 and are able to meet our obligations as they become due with our cash flow from operations, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. We may take additional mitigation actions in the future such as raising additional financing, reducing capital spending, raising prices, or modifying our operating strategies. Some of these measures may have an adverse impact on our business.

Systemwide Restaurant Sales
Systemwide restaurant sales are not revenues to the Company, however the Company records royalty revenue based as a percentage of systemwide restaurant sales. Systemwide restaurant sales is presented as informational data in order to understand the aggregation of franchised stores sales, ghost kitchen and corporate-owned store sales performance. Systemwide restaurant sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens and corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Systemwide restaurant same store sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens, and corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. See definition below for same store sales.
Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales
Corporate-owned restaurant sales represent the sales generated only by corporate-owned restaurants. Corporate-owned restaurant sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Corporate-owned restaurant same store sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. These measures highlight the performance of existing corporate-owned restaurants.
Franchise Restaurant Sales
Franchise restaurant sales represent the sales generated only by franchisee-owned restaurants and are not recorded as revenue, however, the royalties based on a percentage of these franchise restaurant sales are recorded as revenue. Franchise restaurant sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Franchise restaurant same store sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. These measures highlight the performance of existing franchised restaurants.
Same Store Sales
We use the measure of same store sales to evaluate the performance of our store base, which excludes the impact of new stores and closed stores, in both periods under comparison. We include a restaurant in the calculation of same store sales once it has been in operation after 14 months. A restaurant that is temporarily closed (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), is included in the same store sales computation. A restaurant that is closed permanently, such as upon termination of the lease, or other permanent closure, is immediately removed from the same store sales computation. Our calculation of same store sales may not be comparable to others in the industry.
Digital Channel Percentage of Systemwide Sales
We use the measure of digital channel percentage of systemwide sales to evaluate the performance of our investments made in our digital platform and partnerships with third party delivery partners. We believe our digital platform capabilities are a vital element to continuing to serve our customers and will continue to be a differentiator for the Company as compared to some of our competitors. Digital channel as percentages of systemwide sales are indicative of the sales placed through our digital platforms and the percentage of those digital sales when compared to total sales at all our franchised and corporate-owned restaurants.
Unless otherwise stated, “Systemwide Restaurant Sales”, “Systemwide Sales Growth”, and “Same Store Sales” are presented on a systemwide basis, which means they include franchise restaurants and corporate-owned restaurants. Franchise restaurant sales represent sales at all franchise restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and brand royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales.
By providing these key metrics, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Refer below for reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
As appropriate, we supplement our reported U.S. GAAP financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before goodwill impairment, the gain or loss on change in value of warrant liability, interest expense (which includes non-cash interest on preferred stock and interest accretion on related party notes), income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, pre-opening costs, store closure costs, legal settlements, and merger, acquisition and integration costs and PPP loan gain.
We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe that this adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.
We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. This financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or an alternative measure of, reported net (loss) income, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure and the provided reconciliation thereto. We believe this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when viewed together with our U.S. GAAP results and the related reconciliation, provides a
more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Below is a reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment:

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and COVID-19
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of June 30, 2022, we maintained a cash balance of approximately $15.7 million.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are generally not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new restaurants, remodels and maintenance, as well as
investments in our digital and corporate infrastructure. We estimate our capital expenditures will be approximately $2 million for the year ending December 31, 2022.
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus designated COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our corporate-owned restaurants are located. While the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have partially subsided, its effects vary by region, and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to disrupt economic conditions and business activities, particularly as new outbreaks and variants of COVID-19 arise. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent and emerging variants, could affect our business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and the continued emergence of new strains of COVID-19.
We have implemented price increases to mitigate the inflationary effects of food and labor costs, however we cannot predict the long-term impact of these negative economic conditions on our restaurant profitability. Although we have experienced some recovery since the initial impact of COVID-19 and are able to meet our obligations as they become due with our cash flow from operations, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. In addition, we continue to monitor the spread of new variants, including the pandemic’s emergence of variants.
We are currently able to pay our obligations as they become due for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future, with our cash flow generated from operations and our cash on hand balance of $15.7 million. Should federal, state or municipal government authorities impose mandatory restrictions in excess of what they currently are, we believe that our current cash balance will allow us the liquidity to meet our commitments as they become due.
The following table presents the summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended |
(in thousands) | June 30, 2022 | | June 30, 2021 |
Net cash (used in) provided by: | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 3,888 | | | $ | 1,254 | |
Investing activities | (31) | | | (3,839) | |
Financing activities | (2,999) | | | (3,041) | |
Net decrease in cash | $ | 858 | | | $ | (5,626) | |
Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $3.9 million. The cash flows used in operating activities resulted from a net loss of $73.9 million, which was primarily related to goodwill impairment of $55.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $9.2 million, share-based compensation of $8.3 million, non-cash interest of $2.3 million, and gain on change in value of warrant liability of $1.3 million. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net liability increase of approximately $4.6 million, which was mainly due to a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $0.03 million related to the purchase of property and equipment of $1.1 million offset by the proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $1.0 million.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $3.0 million, which were primarily related to principal payments on borrowings of approximately $1.7 million and tax payments relating to vesting of restricted stock of approximately $1.1 million.
Credit Agreement
The Company has a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks providing up to $71.8 million in financing (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which terminates on June 15, 2024, provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $57.8 million term loan, a $4 million revolving loan, and a $10 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) provided by a related party and a significant stockholder. Pursuant to the terms of an amendment to the Credit Agreement effective as of March 9, 2022, certain of the covenants were amended, such that the Company, together with the other borrowers and the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, agreed to pay incremental deferred interest of 2% per annum, in the event that the Credit Agreement is not repaid on or prior to June 15, 2023; provided, however, that if no event of default has occurred and is continuing then (1) no incremental deferred interest will be due if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (2) only 50% of the incremental deferred interest will be owed if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid from and after January 1, 2023 and on or prior to March 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about items that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Except as described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered on this Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continued were effective as of June 30, 2022, as the material weakness described below has been remediated.
Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the 2021 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021. In the evaluation, management identified a material weakness to the design and implementation of controls over the accounting for income taxes. Specifically, management did not maintain controls over the Company’s assessment of its ability to realize historical deferred tax assets on its acquired businesses in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company’s tax provision controls were not designed to detect certain errors and omissions in calculating the impact of certain transactions on the income tax provision during the period.
In connection with the material weakness as it relates to the accounting for income taxes that was identified as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, management re-evaluated the effectiveness of such controls as of June 30, 2022 and concluded that such controls were operating effectively as of June 30, 2022. The remediation of the material weakness constituted (1) expanded review processes for the Company’s assessment of its ability to realize historical deferred tax assets on its acquired businesses in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company’s tax provision controls and (2) the utilization of additional third-party professionals and consultants regarding income tax matters.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
