On March 16, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets and operations of a Real Urban Barbeque restaurant in Vernon Hills, Illinois from Real Urban Barbeque VH LLC.  The contract purchase price of the restaurant was approximately $45,000, exclusive of closing costs plus the assumption of the lease, gift card and certain other liabilities. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were considered to be immaterial and were provisionally recorded at estimated fair values based on information available, including an ROU asset and offsetting liability of approximately $714,000.  

On February 11, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Granite City Food & Brewery Ltd. (“Granite City”) to acquire certain assets associated with Granite City restaurants in connection with the Chapter 11 filing of Granite City.  The Granite City Acquisition was approved by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing on February 21, 2020.  The purchase price for the assets purchased was $3,650,000 plus certain assumed liabilities including gift card liability and cure costs.  On March 9, 2020, the Company closed the Granite City Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowing under its existing loan agreement with Choice Bank.  

The Granite City Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and, accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of these operations from the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were provisionally recorded at estimated fair values based on information available as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
