     As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Krispy Kreme,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 mean the fiscal years ending February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, respectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that relate to our plans, objectives, estimates and goals. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future and projections relating to products, sales, revenues, expenditures, costs and earnings are typical of such statements, and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “forecast,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “objective,” “seek,” “strive” or similar words, or the negative of these words, identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to:

• the quality of Company and franchise store operations;
   
• our ability, and our dependence on the ability of our franchisees, to execute on our and their business plans;
   
• our relationships with our franchisees;
   
• our ability to implement our international growth strategy;
   
• our ability to implement our domestic small shop operating model;
   
• political, economic, currency and other risks associated with our international operations;
   
• the price and availability of raw materials needed to produce doughnut mixes and other ingredients, and the price of motor fuel;
   
• our relationships with wholesale customers;
   
• our ability to protect our trademarks and trade secrets;
   
• changes in customer preferences and perceptions;
   
• risks associated with competition;
   
• risks related to the food service industry, including food safety and protection of personal information;
   
• compliance with government regulations relating to food products and franchising;
   
• increased costs or other effects of new government regulations relating to healthcare benefits;
   
• risks associated with implementation of new technology platforms; and
   
• other factors discussed in Krispy Kreme’s periodic reports and other information filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the impact of each such factor on the Company. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made.

We caution you that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the facts, results, performance or achievements we have anticipated in such forward-looking statements except as required by the federal securities laws.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Accounting Policies

     Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (“KKDI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the sale of doughnuts and complementary products through Company-owned stores. The Company also derives revenue from franchise and development fees and royalties from franchisees. Additionally, the Company sells doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut-making equipment to franchisees.

Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices described in the 2013 Form 10-K, but have not been audited. In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data as of February 3, 2013 were derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The financial statements include the accounts of KKDI and its subsidiaries, the most significant of which is KKDI’s principal operating subsidiary, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation.

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which the Company does not control, and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. These entities are 25% to 35% owned and are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Equity Method Franchisees.”

EARNINGS PER SHARE. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, computed using the treasury stock method. Such potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of currently unvested restricted stock units.

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

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	November 3,		October 28,		November 3,		October 28,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(In thousands)
Numerator: net income	$	6,780	$	5,044	$	19,496	$	15,999
Denominator:
Basic earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding		67,543		66,668		67,274		67,897
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and warrants		3,173		1,719		2,948		1,663
Restricted stock units		790		416		836		481
Diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares
outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares		71,506		68,803		71,058		70,041

The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not necessarily equal earnings per share for the year to date.

Stock options and warrants with respect to 33,000 and 3.1 million shares for the three months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

10

     Stock options and warrants with respect to 309,000 and 3.2 million shares for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively, as well as 58,000 unvested restricted stock units for the nine months ended October 28, 2012, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. Accounting standards on reporting comprehensive income require that certain items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and certain mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges (which are not reflected in net income) be presented as components of comprehensive income. The cumulative amounts recognized by the Company under these standards are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.

CORRECTION OF BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION ERROR. The Company’s KK Supply Chain transfers doughnut mixes and certain other goods to third-party distribution companies which, in turn, distribute such products to Company and franchise stores pursuant to distribution contracts with KK Supply Chain. The Company does not record revenues or profit on the product transfers to the distribution companies because all revenue recognition criteria are not met at that time. Revenues and profit are recorded only upon the delivery of the goods to the stores by the distribution companies (and the sales to Company shops are eliminated in consolidation). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company concluded that certain of the Company’s receivables from third-party distribution companies resulting from the product transfers had been incorrectly reported as a component of inventories, rather than as a component of receivables, in prior periods. The Company corrected this classification error as of February 3, 2013. While not material to previously issued financial statements, to enhance comparability, the Company corrected the corresponding error as of October 28, 2012 and January 29, 2012, by revising the classification of $4.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of receivables from the distribution companies previously classified as inventories to receivables. The error also affected the change in inventories and change in receivables line items in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 28, 2012, but there was no effect on net cash provided by operating activities. The Company revised its statement of cash flows to adjust the increase in receivables from $1.5 million to $2.0 million and to adjust the increase in inventories from $169,000 to a decrease in inventories of $314,000 for the nine months ended October 28, 2012. Correction of this error had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, total current assets, working capital, or total operating, investing, or financing cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued an update to its accounting guidance which requires unrecognized tax benefits to be netted with net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards in the consolidated balance sheet if specific criteria are met. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance permits, but does not require, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Segment Information

     The Company’s reportable segments are Company Stores, Domestic Franchise, International Franchise and KK Supply Chain. The Company Stores segment is comprised of the stores operated by the Company. These stores sell doughnuts and complementary products through both on-premises and wholesale sales channels, although some stores serve only one of these distribution channels. The Domestic Franchise and International Franchise segments consist of the Company’s franchise operations. Under the terms of franchise agreements, domestic and international franchisees pay royalties and fees to the Company in return for the use of the Krispy Kreme name and ongoing brand and operational support. Expenses for these segments include costs to recruit new franchisees, to assist in store openings, to support franchisee operations and marketing efforts, as well as allocated corporate costs. The majority of the ingredients and materials used by Company stores are purchased from the KK Supply Chain segment, which supplies doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut making equipment to both Company and franchisee-owned stores.

All intercompany sales by the KK Supply Chain segment to the Company Stores segment are at prices intended to reflect an arms-length transfer price and are eliminated in consolidation. Operating income for the Company Stores segment does not include any profit earned by the KK Supply Chain segment on sales of doughnut mix and other items to the Company Stores segment; such profit is included in KK Supply Chain operating income.

The following table presents the results of operations of the Company’s operating segments for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012. Segment operating income is consolidated operating income before unallocated general and administrative expenses and impairment charges and lease termination costs.

Note 3 — Income Taxes

     The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon management’s expectation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized for which payment has been deferred, or expenses which have been deducted in the Company’s tax returns but which have not yet been recognized as an expense in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax deductions or credits that will be reflected in future tax returns for which the Company has already recorded a tax benefit in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company establishes valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets in accordance with GAAP, which provides that such valuation allowances shall be established unless realization of the income tax benefits is more likely than not.

The valuation allowance of $9.5 million at November 3, 2013 and $9.8 million at February 3, 2013 represents the portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss and state credit carryforwards having relatively short carryforward periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the North Carolina state legislature enacted a prospective reduction in the corporate income tax rate, which caused the Company to revalue its deferred income tax assets to reflect the lower income tax rate. Such revaluation reduced the Company’s deferred tax assets by approximately $1.0 million. Because a portion of the deferred tax assets were already subject to a valuation allowance, the revaluation of the assets resulted in a reduction in the necessary valuation allowance of approximately $315,000. The effect of the legislation was therefore to reduce the Company’s net deferred tax assets by approximately $685,000; such amount was included in income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management’s forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.

In fiscal 2008, the Company issued warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.21 per share in connection with the settlement of certain litigation. The warrants expired unexercised in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and, accordingly, the Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction related to them. Deferred tax assets at January 29, 2012 included approximately $7.2 million related to these warrants. In accordance with GAAP, such amounts were charged to common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 because common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes cumulative credits related to share-based compensation in excess of such amounts.

Notes receivable at November 3, 2013 and February 3, 2013 includes approximately $2.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the sale of certain leasehold interests to a franchisee. The amount at February 3, 2013 is net of a deferred gain of $1.7 million. The gain previously deferred was recognized in income in the three months ended November 3, 2013. This transaction is described under “Asset Divestitures” in Note 13.

In addition to the foregoing notes receivable, the Company had promissory notes totaling approximately $2.9 million at November 3, 2013 and $3.3 million at February 3, 2013 representing principally royalties and fees due to the Company which, as a result of doubt about their collection, the Company has not yet recorded as revenues. During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013, the Company collected $10,000 and $370,000, respectively, related to these promissory notes and recorded such collections in revenues as received.

In addition to the $2.9 million accrued but unrecognized royalties and fees at November 3, 2013, the Company is owed approximately $1.6 million from a franchisee for reimbursement to the Company for payments made by the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 pursuant to the Company’s guarantee of certain of the franchisee’s indebtedness. Such amount is not reflected as an asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at November 3, 2013. See Note 6, “Investments in Franchisees”.

Note 6 — Investments in Franchisees

     As of November 3, 2013, the Company had investments in three franchisees. These investments have been made in the form of capital contributions and, in certain instances, loans evidenced by promissory notes. These investments are reflected as “Investments in equity method franchisees” in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s financial exposures related to franchisees in which the Company has an investment are summarized in the tables below.

The Company guaranteed loans from third-party lenders on behalf of Kremeworks, LLC (“Kremeworks”) and Krispy Kreme of South Florida, LLC (“KKSF”) to assist the franchisees in obtaining financing. The loans are collateralized by certain assets of the franchisee, generally the Krispy Kreme store and related equipment. The loan guarantee amounts represent the portion of the principal amount outstanding under the related loan that is subject to the Company’s guarantee.

The Company has guaranteed 20% of the outstanding principal balance of certain of Kremeworks’ bank indebtedness, which, as amended, matures in October 2014. The aggregate amount of such indebtedness was approximately $800,000 at November 3, 2013.

15

Current liabilities at February 3, 2013 included an accrual of $1.6 million for potential payments under a loan guarantee related to KKSF, representing the amount the Company estimated it was likely to pay under such guarantee. KKSF failed to repay the indebtedness upon its maturity in October 2009; however, the lender did not immediately exercise its right to call the loan, and KKSF continued to make payments pursuant to an informal forbearance agreement with the lender. In October 2012, KKSF received notice that the original lender had sold the loan to a new lender, who thereafter advised KKSF that the entire balance due under the loan was due and owing, but made no demand for payment on KKSF or the Company. KKSF then entered into refinancing negotiations with the new lender, while continuing to make payments on the loan. Such negotiations were unsuccessful, and in October 2013 the new lender made demand on KKSF to retire the loan in full and on the Company to perform under its guarantee. On November 1, 2013, the Company made a loan of approximately $1.6 million to KKSF, the proceeds of which KKSF used to retire the debt in full, including accrued interest and lender expenses. Such amount was charged against the guarantee liabilities accrual, and the remaining balance of the accrual of approximately $30,000 was credited to other non-operating income. The amount advanced to KKSF pursuant to the Company’s guarantee is evidenced by a promissory note payable to the Company by KKSF, which is secured by a mortgage on real property at KKSF’s most significant operating location as well as other KKSF assets, and which is guaranteed by KKSF’s 65% majority owner; such collateral is substantially the same as that held by the prior lenders. The loan is payable in 36 monthly installments, including interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.0%. In light of the uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the note, including KKSF’s failure to repay the indebtedness when due in 2009, failure to refinance the indebtedness with either of the prior lenders, and the lender ultimately demanding payment of the debt, the Company intends to record payments on the note in non-operating earnings as they are received until such time as the Company concludes that the collectibility of some or all of the balance of the note is reasonably assured.

     The Company does not believe that it will be required to perform under the Kremeworks guarantee.

   2013 Revolving Credit Facility

On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $40 million revolving secured credit facility (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) which matures in July 2018. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. No borrowings were made on the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility on the closing date, and the Company repaid the $21.7 million remaining balance of the 2011 Term Loan and terminated the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities described below. The Company recorded a pretax charge of approximately $967,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to write off the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the terminated facility and to reflect the termination of a related interest rate hedge.

Interest on borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility is payable either at LIBOR or the Base Rate (which is the greatest of the prime rate, the Fed funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%), in each case plus the Applicable Percentage. The Applicable Percentage for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.15%, and for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.15%, in each case depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of November 3, 2013, the Applicable Margin was 1.25%.

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility contains provisions which permit the Company to obtain letters of credit, issuance of which constitutes usage of the lending commitments and reduces the amount available for cash borrowings. At closing, $9.2 million of letters of credit were issued under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to replace letters of credit issued under the terminated credit facilities, all of which secure the Company’s reimbursement obligations to insurers under the Company’s self-insurance programs.

The Company is required to pay a fee equal to the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR-based loans on the outstanding amount of letters of credit. There also is a fee on the unused portion of the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility lending commitment, ranging from 0.15% to 0.35%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The leverage ratio is required to be not greater than 2.25 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio is required to be not less than 1.3 to 1.0.

As of November 3, 2013, the Company’s leverage ratio was 0.2 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.5 to 1.0.

16

       The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter by Consolidated EBITDA for the Reference Period (each consisting of the four most recent fiscal quarters). For this purpose, debt includes not only indebtedness reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, but also, among other things, the amount of undrawn letters of credit, the principal balance of indebtedness of third parties to the extent such indebtedness is guaranteed by the Company, and any amounts reasonably expected to be paid with respect to any other guaranty obligations. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated for each Reference Period by dividing (a) the sum of (i) Consolidated EBITDA, plus (ii) Cash Lease Payments, minus (iii) cash income taxes, minus (iv) unfinanced capital expenditures, minus (v) purchases, redemptions, retirements, and cash dividend payments or other distributions in respect of the Company’s common stock in excess of certain amounts, and minus (vi) the purchase price of all acquisitions of all or substantially all of the assets of any Krispy Kreme store or franchisee shops by (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges.

       “Consolidated EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure and is defined in the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to mean, for each Reference Period, generally, consolidated net income or loss, exclusive of unrealized gains and losses on hedging instruments, gains or losses on asset dispositions, and provisions for payments on guarantee obligations, plus the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, rent expense and lease termination costs, and certain non-cash charges; and minus the sum of non-cash credits, interest income, Cash Lease Payments, and payments on guaranty obligations in excess of $1 million during the Reference Period or $3 million in the aggregate.

       “Cash Lease Payments” means the sum of cash paid or required to be paid for obligations under operating leases for real property and equipment (net of sublease income), lease payments on closed stores (but excluding payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases), and cash payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases to the extent the aggregate amount of such payments exceeds $1.5 million during a Reference Period or $5.0 million in the aggregate.

       “Consolidated Fixed Charges” means the sum of cash interest expense, Cash Lease Payments, and scheduled principal payments of indebtedness.

       The operation of the restrictive financial covenants described above may limit the amount the Company may borrow under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. The restrictive covenants did not limit the Company’s ability to borrow the full $30.8 million of unused credit under the 2013 Revolving Credit Agreement as of November 3, 2013.

       The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also contains covenants which, among other things, generally limit (with certain exceptions): liquidations, mergers, and consolidations; the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees); the incurrence additional liens; the sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or transfer of assets; certain investments; dividends and stock redemptions or repurchases in excess of certain amounts; transactions with affiliates; engaging in materially different lines of business; certain sale-leaseback transactions; and other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also prohibits the transfer of cash or other assets to the Parent Company, whether by dividend, loan or otherwise, but provides for exceptions to enable the Parent Company to pay taxes, directors’ fees and operating expenses, as well as exceptions to permit dividends in respect of the Company’s common stock and stock redemptions and repurchases, to the extent permitted by the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility.

       The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of $5 million, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of $5 million and the occurrence of a change of control.

       Borrowings and issuances of letters of credit under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of usual and customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.

   2011 Secured Credit Facilities

       On January 28, 2011, the Company entered into secured credit facilities (the “2011 Secured Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $25 million revolving credit line (the “2011 Revolver”) and a $35 million term loan (the “2011 Term Loan”), each of which were scheduled to mature in January 2016. The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. On July 12, 2013, the 2011 Term Loan was paid in full and the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were terminated.

       Interest on borrowings under the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities was payable either at LIBOR or the Base Rate (which is the greatest of the prime rate, the Fed funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%), in each case plus the Applicable Percentage. The Applicable Percentage for LIBOR loans ranged from 2.25% to 3.00%, and for Base Rate loans ranged from 1.25% to 2.00%, in each case depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

17

       On March 3, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract having an aggregate notional principal amount of $17.5 million. The derivative contract entitled the Company to receive from the counterparty the excess, if any, of the three-month LIBOR rate over 3.00% for each of the calendar quarters in the period beginning April 2012 and ending December 2015. The Company accounted for this derivative contract as a cash flow hedge. The contract was terminated in July 2013 following the retirement in full of the 2011 Term Loan; the $516,000 unrealized loss on the contract previously included in AOCI was reclassified to “Loss on refinancing of debt” in the consolidated statement of income because the hedged forecasted transaction (interest on the 2011 Term Loan) will not occur.

       The 2011 Revolver contained provisions which permitted the Company to obtain letters of credit, issuance of which constituted usage of the lending commitments and reduced the amount available for cash borrowings.

       The Company was required to pay a fee equal to the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR-based loans on the outstanding amount of letters of credit, as well as a fronting fee of 0.125% of the amount of such letter of credit. There also was a fee on the unused portion of the 2011 Revolver lending commitment ranging from 0.35% to 0.65%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

       The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities required the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. For fiscal 2014, the leverage ratio was required to be not greater than 2.5 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was required to be not less than 1.2 to 1.0.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

       Except as disclosed below, the Company currently is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Pending Litigation

   K² Asia Litigation

       On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K² Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages. The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. On July 26, 2013, the Superior Court dismissed the Philippines-based defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the plaintiffs have noticed an appeal of that decision.

   Colchester Security Litigation

       On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company. The plaintiff sought $2.7 million in damages. The Company denied the allegations and pursued counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease. In June and July 2013, the parties tried the case to a judge pro tem pursuant to the Fairfax County Court’s alternate dispute resolution program. Oral argument on the post-trial briefs occurred in October 2013.

       In late November 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company with respect to some of the claims by the former landlord, and reserved judgment on an additional claim pending further argument. All of the Company’s counterclaims were denied. Accordingly, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million related to this matter. Such charge increased the lease termination accrual for this lease to an aggregate of $1.9 million, representing the amount of the damages awarded and an estimate of plaintiff’s attorney’s fees. Subsequently, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord on all issues for an amount approximating the aggregate accrual, and such settlement currently is being documented.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

       The Company’s primary bank had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $9.2 million at November 3, 2013, all of which secure the Company’s reimbursement obligations to insurers under the Company’s self-insurance arrangements.

Note 9 — Shareholders’ Equity

Share-Based Compensation for Employees and Directors

       The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for share-based payment (“SBP”) awards based on their fair values. The fair value of SBP awards for which employees and directors render the requisite service necessary for the award to vest is recognized over the related vesting period.

       The aggregate cost of SBP awards charged to earnings for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012 is set forth in the following table. The Company did not realize any excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock units during any of the periods.

Repurchases of Common Stock

       On July 11, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's common stock.

       In fiscal 2013, pursuant to the authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors, from March 27, 2012 through June 28, 2012, the Company repurchased $20 million of its common stock.

       The Company generally permits holders of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards to satisfy their obligations to reimburse the Company for the minimum required statutory withholding taxes arising from the vesting of such awards by surrendering vested common shares in lieu of reimbursing the Company in cash.

       The following table summarizes repurchases of common stock for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012:

       The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company’s annual budgeting process. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values.

       Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities are estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.

       In late November, 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company in its dispute with the landlord of a former Company commissary in Lorton, Virginia. The Company subsequently agreed to settle the matter with the former landlord, as more fully described in Note 8, and the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended November 3, 2013 related to the resolution of the matter.

       The transactions reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

       Included in the lease termination accrual at November 3, 2013 was $2.0 million expected to be paid within one year.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

       The accounting standards for fair value measurements define fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

20

The accounting standards for fair value measurements establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
    
• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
   
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

       The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 3, 2013 and February 3, 2013.

       The fair value of the interest rate derivative at February 3, 2013 was estimated based on an indicative bid price. There were no outstanding interest rate derivatives at November 3, 2013.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

       There were no material nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded during the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012.

       The fair value of the 2011 Term Loan (included within long-term debt) at February 3, 2013 was estimated based on an indicative bid price, valuation input Level 2. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their fair values at November 3, 2013 and February 3, 2013.

Note 12 — Derivative Instruments

       The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.

       The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company mitigates this risk of nonperformance by dealing with highly rated counterparties.

       Additional disclosure about the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 11.

Commodity Price Risk

       The Company is exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients of its products, of which flour, sugar and shortening are the most significant. In order to bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients, from time to time the Company purchases exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, and options on such contracts, for raw materials which are ingredients of its products or which are components of such ingredients, including wheat and soybean oil. The Company is also exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of gasoline used by its delivery vehicles. To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the price of its gasoline purchases, the Company may purchase exchange-traded commodity futures contracts and options on such contracts. The difference between the cost, if any, and the fair value of commodity derivatives is reflected in earnings because the Company has not designated any of these instruments as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating commodity prices. The settlement of commodity derivative contracts is reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a cash flow from operating activities. At November 3, 2013, the Company had commodity derivatives with an aggregate contract volume of 770,000 bushels of wheat. Other than the requirement to meet minimum margin requirements with respect to the commodity derivatives, there are no collateral requirements related to such contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

       On March 3, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract having an aggregate notional principal amount of $17.5 million. The derivative contract entitled the Company to receive from the counterparty the excess, if any, of the three-month LIBOR rate over 3.00% for each of the calendar quarters in the period beginning April 2012 and ending December 2015. The Company accounted for this derivative contract as a cash flow hedge. The contract was terminated in July 2013 following the retirement in full of the 2011 Term Loan; the $516,000 unrealized loss on the contract previously included in AOCI was reclassified to “Loss on refinancing of debt” in the consolidated statement of income because the hedged forecasted transaction (interest on the 2011 Term Loan) would not occur.

Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

   Business Combination

     On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the assets and operations of one of its franchisees in exchange for $915,000 cash. The acquired assets consisted principally of two Krispy Kreme stores. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows: $464,000 to property and equipment, $8,000 to other assets, and the balance of $443,000 to reacquired franchise rights. The results of operations of the acquired business have been included with those of the Company from the acquisition date. The acquired business’s revenues and earnings for periods subsequent to the acquisition are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2012 on a pro forma basis assuming the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of those periods are not materially different from the Company’s historical results of operations and, accordingly, have been omitted.

24

   Asset Divestitures

     On July 11, 2013, the Company refranchised three Company-owned stores in the Dallas market to a new franchisee. The aggregate purchase price for the assets was $681,000 cash. The three stores had total sales of approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 2013, of which approximately 45% represented wholesales sales. The franchise agreements with the new franchisee do not include wholesale sales rights. The Company Stores segment recorded a gain of $876,000 on the refranchising transaction, which is included in direct operating expenses. The gain includes approximately $462,000 related to the sale of equipment, and approximately $414,000 related to the reversal of accrued rent expense related to a store lease assigned to the franchisee where the Company has been relieved of the primary lease obligation. The Company leased the other two stores, which the Company owns, to the franchisee. In connection with the refranchising, the Company executed a development agreement with the franchisee to develop 15 additional Krispy Kreme locations in the market through fiscal 2019.

On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market to a new franchisee who was a former employee of the Company; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price of the assets was approximately $1.1 million, evidenced by a 7% promissory note payable in installments equal to 3.5% of the stores’ sales beginning in February 2013. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss on this refranchising transaction.

On September 27, 2012, the Company sold to one of its franchisees the leasehold interests and certain other assets, including rights under franchise agreements, of three Krispy Kreme stores operated by the franchisee. The Company acquired the leasehold interests and other assets related to the three stores from the franchisee in August 2006 for $2.9 million cash. After the Company’s acquisition of the assets, the franchisee continued to operate the stores for its own account pursuant to an operating agreement between the Company and the franchisee. The aggregate purchase price of the three stores and the related assets in the September 2012 transaction was approximately $3.6 million, of which approximately $360,000 was paid in cash at closing. The balance of the purchase price was evidenced by a promissory note in the approximate amount of $3.2 million, payable in monthly installments of approximately $51,000, including interest, beginning in November 2012, and a final installment of the remaining principal balance on October 1, 2017. The carrying value of the divested assets was approximately $1.9 million. Because the initial investment made by the franchisee to acquire the assets was less than the 20% minimum amount of the purchase price required by GAAP to recognize a gain on the sale, the Company deferred recognition of the $1.7 million gain, and such deferred gain was reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of the note receivable. Subsequently, the Company reported the principal and interest payments received from the franchisee as a reduction of the carrying value of the note. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the cumulative investment made by the franchisee to acquire the assets first exceeded the required 20% of the purchase price and, accordingly, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $1.7 million, which is included as a reduction in direct operating expenses of the Domestic Franchise segment. In addition, coincident with the recognition of the deferred gain, the Company recognized approximately $210,000 of interest income for interest payments received from the franchisee which initially were reported as a reduction in the carrying value of the note.

(1)	Represents the change in International Franchise same store sales computed by reconverting franchise store sales in each foreign currency to U.S. dollars at a constant rate of exchange for each period.
(2)	Excludes sales among Company and franchise stores.
(3)	Represents International Franchise store sales computed by reconverting International Franchise store sales for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2012 to U.S. dollars based upon the weighted average of the exchange rates prevailing in the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013.
(4)	Includes sales between Company and franchise stores.
(5)	Metrics for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012 include only stores open at the respective period end.

      The change in “same store sales” is computed by dividing the aggregate on-premises sales (including fundraising sales) during the current year period for all stores which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks during the current year (but only to the extent such sales occurred in the 57^th or later week of each store’s operation) by the aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable weeks in the preceding year. Once a store has been open for at least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the computation of same store sales for all subsequent periods. In the event a store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and has no sales during one or more weeks, such store’s sales for the comparable weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded from the same store sales computation. The change in same store customer count is similarly computed, but is based upon the number of retail transactions reported in the Company’s point-of-sale system.

For wholesale sales, “average weekly number of doors” represents the average number of customer locations to which product deliveries were made during a week, and “average weekly sales per door” represents the average weekly sales to each such location.

Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include sales by both Company and franchise Krispy Kreme stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing consumer demand for the Company’s products, the overall success of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. All of the Company’s royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by the Company’s domestic and international franchisees, and substantially all of KK Supply Chain’s external sales of doughnut mixes and other ingredients ultimately are determined by demand for the Company’s products at franchise stores. Accordingly, sales by the Company’s franchisees have a direct effect on the Company’s royalty and KK Supply Chain revenues, and therefore on the Company’s profitability. The Company’s consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein include sales by Company stores, sales to franchisees by the KK Supply Chain business segment, and royalties and fees received from franchise stores based on their sales, but exclude sales by franchise stores to their customers.

The following table sets forth data about the number of systemwide stores as of November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012.

   Adjusted Net Income

     As of February 3, 2013, the Company had approximately $206 million of federal net operating loss carryovers, as well as loss carryovers for state income tax purposes. Until such time as the Company’s net operating loss carryovers are exhausted or expire, GAAP income tax expense is expected to substantially exceed the amount of cash income taxes payable by the Company.

The following non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures are provided to assist the reader in understanding the effects of the above facts and transactions on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial information is intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

     Sales at Company Stores increased 3.3% to $74.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $72.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Selling price increases in the on-premises channel accounted for approximately 1.5 percentage points of the increase in sales, exclusive of the effects of higher pricing on unit volumes; such effects are difficult to measure reliably. As with all consumer products, however, higher prices may negatively affect unit volumes, which may negatively affect sales.

     The following table presents sales metrics for Company stores:

   On-premises sales

     The components of the change in same store sales at Company stores are as follows:

	Three Months Ended

	2013			2012
Change in same store sales:
Retail pricing	3.3		%	0.0		%

Customer count	1.1			7.1
Other	0.7			0.0
Total	3.7		%	6.8		%

On-premises sales increased 5.4% to $37.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, driven principally by retail price increases and higher customer traffic. Approximately 3.1 percentage points of the sales increase reflects retail price increases implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. On February 18, 2013, the Company implemented on-premises price increases at substantially all of its stores. These price increases affected items comprising approximately 70% of on-premises sales, and the average price increase on these items was approximately 5%. The Company is developing and implementing new and enhanced marketing programs designed to increase guest visit frequency. In addition to improved marketing programs, management believes that customer traffic has been positively affected by ongoing store remodelings, an emphasis on hospitality, and continued use of creative limited time doughnut offerings.

   Wholesale distribution

Sales to wholesale accounts increased 1.3% to $37.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, driven principally by higher unit volumes.

     Sales to grocers and mass merchants were flat at $22.6 million, with a 10.0% increase in average weekly sales per door partially offset by an 8.8% decline in the average number of doors served. The Company believes that average weekly sales per door in the grocery/mass merchant channel have grown as a result of, among other things, improved customer service, introduction of additional price points, and the addition of new relatively higher volume doors. The decline in the average number of doors served in the grocery/mass merchant channel reflects the reduction in the number of doors served as a result of refranchising stores in the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas markets, the elimination of loose doughnut sales at a regional grocer, although the Company continues to sell packaged products to this customer, as well as a program change with another customer to include only a limited number of doors. Sales of packaged products comprise substantially all of the Company’s sales to grocers and mass merchants.

37

     Sales to convenience stores rose 3.2% to $14.2 million, reflecting a 3.6% increase in the average weekly sales per door and a 0.8% increase in the average number of doors served. The average number of doors served in the convenience store channel rose slightly despite a reduction in the number of doors served as a result of refranchising stores in the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas markets. Sales of loose unpackaged products comprised approximately 80% of sales to convenience store customers for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, with the balance comprised of sales of packaged products.

   Costs and expenses

Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.3 percentage points from the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to 69.9% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of revenues increased 0.8 percentage points to 38.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase reflects, among other things, a slight shift in product mix toward relatively higher cost limited time product offerings.

KK Supply Chain, which sells doughnut mixes, other ingredients and supplies to Company and franchise stores, has entered into contracts to purchase all its estimated shortening, flour and sugar requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2014. The Company expects its aggregate cost of doughnut mixes, shortening, sugar and packaging in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 to be similar to its costs in the third quarter. For fiscal 2015, KK Supply Chain has entered into contracts to purchase over half of its flour requirements, approximately 40% of its shortening requirements, and substantially all of its estimated sugar requirements. Based upon current market forecasts, the Company expects its ingredient and packaging costs in fiscal 2015 to be similar to fiscal 2014.

Delivery labor as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.2 percentage points from the third quarter of fiscal 2013 principally due the reduction in wholesale sales as a percentage of total Company Stores sales.

Vehicle costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 6.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to 5.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, reflecting lower fuel costs, a reduction in mileage as a result of account rationalization, an increase in average weekly sales per door which generally results in reduced transportation costs per sales dollar, and a reduction in wholesale sales as a percentage of total Company Stores sales.

Depreciation expense increased to 3.0% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 2.6% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to increased capital expenditures, including construction of new stores, store refurbishment efforts on existing stores and investments in information technology systems.

Other store level operating expenses decreased to 6.4% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 7.2% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company realized a gain of approximately $275,000 on the disposal of a closed store, which reduced other store level operating expenses as a percentage of revenues by approximately 0.3%.

Many segment operating costs are fixed or semi-fixed in nature and, accordingly, segment profit margins are sensitive to changes in sales volumes.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) requires large employers to offer health care benefits to all full-time employees or face a potential penalties. To avoid these potential penalties, the health benefits that are offered must provide a minimum level of coverage, and there is a limit to the amount that employees can be charged for the coverage. The penalties, also known as the “employer mandate,” associated with the Act have been delayed generally from January 2014 to January 2015.

The Company employs a substantial number of persons to whom the Company does not currently provide health care benefits but who the Company expects will be entitled to receive health care benefits under the Act. The Company does not know the amount by which its costs will increase assuming the above provisions of the Act are implemented because, among other reasons, the Company does not know how many of the potentially newly-eligible employees will elect to obtain coverage under the Act. In addition, certain regulatory guidance which could have an effect on the Company’s incremental costs associated with the Act has not been issued.

However, based on information available to the Company and the Company’s analyses to-date and its current cost estimates, management currently does not expect that the aggregate incremental cost associated with the Act will exceed its current costs by more than $5 million annually. The Company currently believes its incremental costs are likely to be less than such amount, and may be substantially less. The Company is continuing to study and evaluate the requirements of the Act, and the Company’s estimate of the additional costs associated with it is expected to change as the Company gains additional information and makes decisions regarding the Act’s requirements.

In addition, the Company is implementing benefit cost reduction actions designed to mitigate the costs imposed on the Company by the Act. The Company’s goal is to prevent the Act’s requirements from having a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

     Domestic Franchise revenues increased 21.1% to $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase reflects higher domestic royalty revenues resulting from an increase in sales by domestic franchise stores from $69 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to $78 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Approximately $2.7 million of the increase in sales is the result of refranchising Company stores. Domestic Franchise same store sales rose 10.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The increase in other Domestic Franchise revenues principally reflects rental income charged to two franchisees for stores leased or subleased to the franchisees in connection with the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas refranchising transactions in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively.

Domestic Franchise segment operating expenses include costs to recruit new domestic franchisees, to assist in domestic store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of domestic franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. Domestic Franchise operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 reflect increased costs related to the addition of new personnel in fiscal 2013 and other costs associated with the execution of the Company’s domestic franchise expansion program.

Domestic Franchise segment operating expenses for the three months ended November 3, 2013 reflect a gain of $1.7 million on the sale of leasehold interests to a franchisee that occurred in September 2012. Recognition of such gain previously was deferred because the franchisee’s initial and continuing investment was less than the 20% of the purchase price required by GAAP to permit recognition of a gain on the transaction. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the franchisee’s initial and continuing investment first exceeded 20% of the purchase price and, accordingly, the Company recognized the previously deferred gain. See “Asset Divestitures” in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

Domestic franchisees opened five stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Additionally, the Company executed a development agreement with a new franchisee in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 to develop four Krispy Kreme locations in the Alaska market through fiscal 2016. As of November 3, 2013, development agreements for territories in the United States provide for the development of approximately 65 additional stores through fiscal 2020. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

     International Franchise royalties increased 4.2%, driven by an increase in sales by international franchise stores from $104 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to $108 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Changes in the rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in which the Company’s international franchisees do business decreased sales by international franchisees measured in U.S. dollars by approximately $5.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, which adversely affected international royalty revenues by approximately $350,000. Excluding the effects of exchange rates, sales by international franchisees rose 9.8%.

International Franchise same store sales, measured on a constant currency basis to eliminate the effects of changing exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (“constant dollar same store sales”), fell 3.1%. The decline in International Franchise same store sales reflects, among other things, waning honeymoon effects from the large number of new stores opened internationally in recent years and the cannibalization effects on initial stores in new markets of additional store openings in those markets. “Cannibalization effect” means the tendency for new stores to become successful, in part or in whole, by “shifting” sales from existing stores in the same market. “Honeymoon effect” means the common pattern for many start-up restaurants in which a flurry of activity due to start-up publicity and natural curiosity is followed by a decline during which a steady repeat customer base develops.

Constant dollar same store sales in established markets rose 2.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fell 8.5% in new markets. “Established markets” means countries in which the first Krispy Kreme store opened before fiscal 2007. Sales at stores in established markets comprised 53% of aggregate constant dollar same store sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. While the Company considers countries in which Krispy Kreme first opened before fiscal 2007 to be established markets, franchisees in those markets continue to develop their business. Of the 521 international shops currently in operation that opened since the beginning of fiscal 2007, 224 shops are in these established markets.

International Franchise operating expenses include costs to recruit new international franchisees, to assist in international store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of international franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. International Franchise operating expenses increased to $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, principally reflecting higher personnel and personnel-related costs and other costs to support continuing and anticipated international growth. Management expects International Franchise operating expenses to continue to rise in the remainder of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2013 due to personnel additions to support international franchise growth, as well as anticipated fiscal 2014 shop openings in new markets which typically require a greater level of franchisor support than openings in existing markets. The increase in the operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was partially offset by a credit in bad debt expense of approximately $170,000 resulting principally from recoveries of accounts previously written off. A net credit in bad debt expense should not be expected to recur frequently.

International franchisees opened 24 stores and closed seven stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Additionally, the Company executed a development agreement in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with a new franchisee to develop 25 Krispy Kreme locations in South America in major cities throughout Colombia through fiscal 2019. As of November 3, 2013, development agreements for territories outside the United States provide for the development of approximately 350 additional stores through fiscal 2019. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

Sales of doughnut mixes rose 10.8% year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher unit volumes reflecting higher sales at Company and franchise shops and higher selling prices.

Sales of other ingredients, packaging and supplies, which are made principally to Company and Domestic Franchise stores, rose 6.9% year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher unit volumes reflecting higher sales at Company and franchise shops. The greater increase in sales of doughnut mixes compared to sales of other ingredients, packaging and supplies reflects, among other things, process and equipment innovations by the Company that have reduced consumption of certain ingredients.

Equipment sales increased to $3.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $2.3 million principally due to an increased level of store openings and increased sales of replacement parts.

KK Supply Chain utilizes a fuel surcharge program to recoup additional freight costs resulting from increases in fuel costs. Charges under the program are based upon the excess, if any, of the price of diesel fuel over a pre-established base level, with the base level generally adjusted annually.

KK Supply Chain cost of sales decreased to 71.7% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 72.4% of revenues in the third quarter of the preceding fiscal year. The cost of goods produced and purchased fell 0.6 percentage points, approximately half of which was due to lower provisions for obsolete and excess equipment inventories.

Distribution costs as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.8 percentage points to 6.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, principally reflecting economies of scale.

Other segment operating costs include segment management, purchasing, customer service and support, laboratory and quality control costs, and research and development expenses. Other segment operating costs as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.3 percentage points to 5.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, principally reflecting economies of scale.

     Franchisees opened 29 stores and closed seven stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. A substantial portion of KK Supply Chain’s revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

A significant portion of franchise store sales is attributable to sales by franchisees outside the United States. The Company sells doughnut mixes, either manufactured by the Company in the United States or blended by contract mix manufacturers using concentrates supplied by the Company, to all its international franchisees. Most of these franchisees purchase substantially all other ingredients, packaging and supplies through sourcing arrangements approved by the Company. Accordingly, KK Supply Chain revenues are less correlated with sales by international franchisees than with sales by domestic franchisees, which purchase substantially all of their ingredients from KK Supply Chain. Like all international businesses, the Company and its international franchisees must address the risks of international trade, including taxes, tariffs, duties and transportation costs, which can affect the franchisees’ product costs and therefore indirectly affect the pace of development. The Company, in cooperation with its international franchisees, continually seeks to mitigate the impact of these factors. For example, the Company has developed premix and concentrate doughnut mix production models, and has been continuously pursuing alternative sourcing arrangements in various markets.

   General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $5.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, and as a percentage of total revenues increased to 5.0% from 4.7%. General and administrative expenses include costs of approximately $410,000 and $240,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the selection and implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system.

   Impairment Charges and Lease Termination Costs

Impairment charges and lease termination costs were $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $216,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company’s annual budgeting process. Impairment charges generally relate to Company stores expected to be closed or refranchised, as well as to stores management believes will not generate sufficient future cash flows to enable the Company to recover the carrying value of the stores’ assets, but which management has not yet decided to close. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values of these assets are estimated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, on independent appraisals and, in the case of assets the Company currently is negotiating to sell, based on the Company’s negotiations with unrelated third-party buyers.

Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities were estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.

In late November, 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company in its dispute with the landlord of a former Company commissary in Lorton, Virginia. The Company subsequently agreed to settle the matter with the former landlord as more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein, and the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended November 3, 2013 related to the resolution of the matter.

     The Company intends to refranchise additional geographic markets, expected to consist principally of, but not necessarily limited to, markets outside the Company’s traditional base in the Southeastern United States. The franchise rights and other assets in many of these markets were acquired by the Company in business combinations in prior years.

From fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2013, the Company refranchised a total of 11 stores and received consideration totaling $2.5 million in connection with those transactions. During this period, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $490,000 related to completed and anticipated refranchisings.

On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9.0 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss on the refranchising transaction. On July 11, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Dallas market. The three stores had total sales of approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 2013. The Company realized a gain of $876,000 on the refranchising transaction, which is included in the results of operations of the Company Stores segment.

The Company cannot predict the likelihood of refranchising any additional stores or markets or the amount of proceeds, if any, which might be received therefrom, including the amounts which might be realized from the sale of store assets and the execution of any related franchise agreements. Asset dispositions associated with future refranchisings could result in the recognition of impairment losses on the related assets.

   Interest Income

Interest income increased to $341,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $14,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, principally due to the recognition of previously deferred interest income on a note received from a franchisee as part of the consideration for its purchase of leasehold interests from the Company. A total of $250,000 in interest income on the note receivable was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, of which $140,000 accrued in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 and $70,000 accrued in fiscal 2013. See “Asset Divestitures” in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

   Equity in Income (Losses) of Equity Method Franchisees

The Company recorded equity in the losses of equity method franchisees of $61,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to losses of $47,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. This caption represents the Company’s share of operating results of equity method franchisees which develop and operate Krispy Kreme stores.

   Provision for Income Taxes

     The Company’s effective tax rate was 43% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. The portion of the income tax provision representing taxes estimated to be payable currently was $726,000 and $530,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, consisting principally of foreign withholding taxes related to royalties and franchise fees paid to the Company by international franchisees. The current provision for income taxes also reflects adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions, including potential interest and penalties which could result from the resolution of such uncertainties.

The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate on GAAP ordinary income for fiscal 2014 is 43%. Management’s estimate of the fiscal 2014 effective income tax rate is subject to revision in the fourth quarter as additional information becomes available.

See “Results of Operations – Three months ended November 3, 2013 compared to three months ended October 28, 2012 – Adjusted Net Income” above for non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

The Company had valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets of $9.5 million at November 3, 2013 and $9.8 million at February 3, 2013, representing the portion of such deferred tax assets which, as of such dates, management estimated would not be realized. Under GAAP, future realization of deferred tax assets is evaluated under a “more likely than not” standard. Realization of net deferred tax assets generally is dependent on generation of taxable income in future periods. From fiscal 2005 until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets equal to the entire excess of those assets over the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of those assets. Such uncertainty arose principally from the substantial losses incurred by the Company from fiscal 2005 though fiscal 2009.

The Company reported a pretax profit of $418,000 in fiscal 2010 and $8.9 million in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2012, the Company’s pretax profit increased to $30.4 million, inclusive of a $6.2 million non-recurring gain from the Company’s sale of its 30% interest in KK Mexico. After considering all relevant factors having an impact on the likelihood of future realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 management concluded that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized in future years and, in accordance with GAAP, reversed $139.6 million of the valuation allowance, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes.

Two of the most significant factors considered by management in reaching its conclusion were that the Company earned a significant pretax profit in both fiscal 2011 and 2012 and the positive trend in the Company’s earnings. In fiscal 2013, the Company’s pretax income rose to $36.3 million.

The evaluation of the amount of net deferred tax assets expected to be realized necessarily involves forecasting the amount of taxable income that will be generated in future years. In addition, because a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards that are subject to expiration, the specific future periods in which taxable income is generated may have a material effect on the amount of deferred tax assets that ultimately are realized. The Company has forecasted future results using estimates management believes to be reasonable and which are based on objective verifiable evidence. The most important factor considered by management in making its forecast was the Company’s results of operations for fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013. Assuming the Company generates pretax income of $24 million in each future year, which approximates the Company’s average pretax income in fiscal 2011 through 2013, management estimates that approximately $116 million of its deferred tax assets will be realized in periods after fiscal 2013. The decrease in the amount of deferred income tax assets expected to be realized from January 29, 2012 to February 3, 2013 reflected the realization in fiscal 2013 of approximately $13 million of such assets and the loss of approximately $9.8 million of income tax benefits associated with the expiration in fiscal 2013 of warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock issued in prior years, as more fully described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2013.

The remaining valuation allowance of $9.5 million represents the portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss carryforwards having relatively short carryover periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused.

The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management’s forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.

44

     As described above, in making its estimate of the amount of deferred tax assets which will be realized in future periods, the Company estimated annual future pretax income of approximately $24 million. Based on that estimate, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $9.5 million was appropriate. A 10% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have had no material effect on management’s determination of the amount of deferred tax valuation allowance. A 20% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have caused management’s determination of the appropriate valuation allowance to increase from $9.5 million to approximately $14.3 million. If the Company’s earnings remain at current levels or continue to increase, it is reasonably likely that management would conclude that its estimate of annual income in future years should increase. For example, if management concluded that a future annual earnings forecast of $34 million, which approximates fiscal 2013 pretax income measured on a 52-week basis, were appropriate, then the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance would be reduced by approximately $3 million, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes. Management believes that because estimates of future earnings are inherently subjective, and because such estimates necessarily involve forecasting many years into the future, frequent revisions to such estimates should not be expected. While the Company’s results of operations continued to improve in fiscal 2013 and exceeded management’s estimated annual pretax income for future years of $24 million described above, the Company believes that additional evidence is necessary before concluding that the level of pretax income achieved in fiscal 2013 is sustainable on a long-term basis. Management believes that such evidence should include, among other things, at least one additional year, subsequent to fiscal 2013, of pretax profits substantially in excess of $24 million before it would be appropriate for management to revise upward its estimate of future annual pretax income. Management revisited this conclusion as of November 3, 2013, and determined that such conclusion remained appropriate. If the Company’s favorable operating results are sustained in the fourth quarter, and sufficient other evidence considered necessary to support realizability of additional deferred tax assets is present, then management could conclude that a reversal of some portion of the valuation allowance may be appropriate at that time. The Company cannot presently predict whether a reversal will occur, or how much of the current $9.5 million valuation allowance could potentially be reversed if future conditions warrant. Any potential reversal will have no effect on the Company’s cash flows.

Net Income

The Company reported net income of $6.8 million for the three months ended November 3, 2013 and $5.0 million for the three months ended October 28, 2012.

Nine months ended November 3, 2013 compared to nine months ended October 28, 2012

   Overview

Total revenues rose by 9.4% to $347.6 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 compared to $317.7 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2012. Consolidated operating income increased to $37.5 million from $29.3 million, and consolidated net income was $19.5 million compared to $16.0 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively.

   Adjusted Net Income

     As of February 3, 2013, the Company had approximately $206 million of federal net operating loss carryovers, as well as loss carryovers for state income tax purposes. Until such time as the Company’s net operating loss carryovers are exhausted or expire, GAAP income tax expense is expected to substantially exceed the amount of cash income taxes payable by the Company.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $967,000 related to the refinancing of its secured credit facilities, consisting of the writeoff of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Company’s term loan, which was retired in full, and the termination of an interest rate hedge related to the term loan. Charges of this nature are not expected to recur on a regular basis.

The following non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures are provided to assist the reader in understanding the effects of the above facts and transactions on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial information is intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

     A reconciliation of Company Stores segment sales from the nine months ended October 28, 2012 to the nine months ended November 3, 2013 follows:

	On-Premises			Wholesale			Total

Sales for the nine months ended November 3, 2013	$	114,140		$	118,356		$	232,496

     Sales at Company Stores increased 8.1% to $232.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from $215.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Selling price increases in the on-premises channel accounted for approximately 1.5 percentage points of the increase in sales, exclusive of the effects of higher pricing on unit volumes; such effects are difficult to measure reliably. As with all consumer products, however, higher prices may negatively affect unit volumes, which may negatively affect sales.

The following table presents sales metrics for Company stores:

	Nine Months Ended
	November 3,				October 28,
	2013				2012
On-premises:
Change in same store sales		8.4		%		4.7		%
Change in same store customer count (retail sales only)		6.5		%		5.3		%
Average guest check (retail sales only)	$	7.52			$	7.33

Change in average weekly sales per door		5.7		%		9.3		%

On-premises sales

The components of the change in same store sales at Company stores are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	November 3,			October 28,
	2013			2012
Change in same store sales:
Retail pricing	3.3		%	0.9		%
Guest check average (exclusive of the effects of pricing)	(0.8	)		(0.8	)
Customer count	5.6			4.6
Other	0.3			0.0
Total	8.4		%	4.7		%

On-premises sales increased 11.4% to $114.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, driven principally by higher customer traffic and retail price increases. Approximately 3.2 percentage points of the sales increase reflects retail price increases implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. On February 18, 2013, the Company implemented on-premises price increases at substantially all of its stores designed to help offset the rising costs of doughnut mixes, other ingredients and fuel resulting from higher commodity prices. These price increases affect items comprising approximately 70% of on-premises sales, and the average price increase on these items was approximately 5%. The Company is developing and implementing new and enhanced marketing programs designed to increase guest visit frequency. In addition to improved marketing programs, management believes that customer traffic has been positively affected by ongoing store remodelings, an emphasis on hospitality, and continued use of creative limited time doughnut offerings.

   Wholesale sales

     Sales to wholesale accounts increased 5.0% to $118.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, driven principally by higher unit volumes.

Sales to grocers and mass merchants increased 5.1% to $71.8 million, with a 12.0% increase in average weekly sales per door partially offset by a 6.1% decline in the average number of doors served. The Company believes that average weekly sales per door in the grocery/mass merchant channel have grown as a result of, among other things, improved customer service, introduction of additional price points, and the addition of new relatively higher volume doors. The decline in the average number of doors served in the grocery/mass merchant channel reflects the reduction in the number of doors served as a result of refranchising stores in the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas markets, the elimination of loose doughnut sales at a regional grocer, although the Company continues to sell packaged products to this customer, as well as a program change with another customer to include only a limited number of doors. Sales of packaged products comprise substantially all of the Company’s sales to grocers and mass merchants.

Sales to convenience stores rose 4.6% to $43.8 million, reflecting a 5.7% increase in the average weekly sales per door, partially offset by a 0.4% decline in the average number of doors served. The slight decline in the average number of doors served in the convenience store channel reflects the reduction of doors associated with the refranchising of stores in the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas markets, a reduction in the number of stops at relatively low volume doors and the loss of a regional convenience store account in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Sales of loose unpackaged products comprised approximately 80% of sales to convenience store customers for the nine months ended November 3, 2013, with the balance comprised of sales of packaged products.

   Costs and expenses

Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased by 0.8 percentage points from the first nine months of fiscal 2013 to 70.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

The cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of revenues remained unchanged at 37.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Price increases in the on-premises distribution channel more than offset increases in the cost of food, beverage and packaging. In addition, a reduction in returns in the wholesale distribution channel and a greater percentage of sales derived from on-premises customers compared to last year resulted in a reduction of the cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of revenues. The cost of food, beverage and packaging as a percentage of sales is often greater in the wholesale distribution channel compared to the on-premises channel because average product selling prices generally are lower in the wholesale distribution channel and because of the effect of returns in the wholesale distribution channel. These reductions were offset by a slight shift in product mix toward relatively higher cost limited time product offerings.

KK Supply Chain, which sells doughnut mixes, other ingredients and supplies to Company and franchise stores, has entered into contracts to purchase all its estimated shortening, flour and sugar requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2014. The Company expects its aggregate cost of doughnut mixes, shortening, sugar and packaging in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 to be similar to the third quarter. For fiscal 2015, KK Supply Chain has entered into contracts to purchase over half of its flour requirements, approximately 40% of its shortening requirements, and substantially all of its estimated sugar requirements. Based upon current market forecasts, the Company expects its ingredient and packaging costs in fiscal 2015 to be similar to fiscal 2014.

Delivery labor as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.3 percentage points from the first nine months of fiscal 2013 to 7.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 due to a reduction in wholesale sales as a percentage of total Company Stores sales.

Vehicle costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 6.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 to 5.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher revenues, lower fuel costs, a reduction in mileage as a result of account rationalization, an increase in average weekly sales per door which generally results in reduced transportation costs per sales dollar, and a reduction in wholesale sales as a percentage of total Company Stores sales.

The Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation, vehicle and general liability claims, but maintains stop-loss coverage for individual claims exceeding certain amounts. The Company provides for claims under these self-insured programs using actuarial methods as described in the 2013 Form 10-K, and periodically updates actuarial valuations of its self-insurance reserves. Such periodic actuarial valuations result in changes over time in the estimated amounts which ultimately will be paid for claims under these programs to reflect the Company’s actual claims experience for each policy year as well as trends in claims experience over multiple years. Such claims, particularly workers’ compensation claims, often are paid over a number of years following the year in which the insured events occur, and the estimated ultimate cost of each year’s claims accordingly is adjusted over time as additional information becomes available. As a result of the Company’s periodic update of its actuarial valuation, the Company recorded favorable adjustments to its self-insurance claims liabilities related to prior policy years of approximately $550,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and $370,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The $550,000 favorable adjustment recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 includes a favorable adjustment relating to workers’ compensation liability claims of approximately $390,000 included in employee benefits, a favorable adjustment relating to vehicle liability claims of approximately $50,000 included in vehicle costs, and a favorable adjustment relating to general liability claims of approximately $110,000 included in other operating costs. The $370,000 favorable adjustment recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 includes an unfavorable adjustment relating to workers’ compensation liability claims of approximately $20,000, a favorable adjustment relating to vehicle liability claims of approximately $210,000, and a favorable adjustment relating to general liability claims of approximately $180,000.

       Depreciation expense increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to 2.9% of revenues from 2.8% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 due to increased capital expenditures, including construction of new stores, store refurbishment efforts on existing stores and investments in information technology systems.

       During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company refranchised three stores in the Dallas market to a new franchisee as more fully described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $876,000 on the refranchising transaction.

       Other store level operating expenses decreased to 6.5% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from 6.8% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company realized a gain of approximately $275,000 on the disposal of a closed store.

       Other segment operating expense increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to 4.7% of revenues from 4.2% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. These costs include approximately $770,000 and $220,000 in legal costs in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, related to the litigation associated with the Company’s former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. The increase in other segment operating costs also reflects an increase in personnel costs to support anticipated Company Stores shop openings.

       Many segment operating costs are fixed or semi-fixed in nature and, accordingly, segment profit margins are sensitive to changes in sales volumes.

       The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) requires large employers to offer health care benefits to all full-time employees or face a potential penalties. To avoid these potential penalties, the health benefits that are offered must provide a minimum level of coverage, and there is a limit to the amount that employees can be charged for the coverage. The penalties, also known as the “employer mandate,” associated with the Act have been delayed generally from January 2014 to January 2015.

       The Company employs a substantial number of persons to whom the Company does not currently provide health care benefits but who the Company expects will be entitled to receive health care benefits under the Act. The Company does not know the amount by which its costs will increase assuming the above provisions of the Act are implemented because, among other reasons, the Company does not know how many of the potentially newly-eligible employees will elect to obtain coverage under the Act. In addition, certain regulatory guidance which could have an effect on the Company’s incremental costs associated with the Act has not been issued.

       However, based on information available to the Company and the Company’s analyses to-date and its current cost estimates, management currently does not expect that the aggregate incremental cost associated with the Act will exceed its current costs by more than $5 million annually. The Company currently believes its incremental costs are likely to be less than such amount, and may be substantially less. The Company is continuing to study and evaluate the requirements of the Act, and the Company’s estimate of the additional costs associated with it is expected to change as the Company gains additional information and makes decisions regarding the Act’s requirements.

       In addition, the Company is implementing benefit cost reduction actions designed to mitigate the costs imposed on the Company by the Act. The Company’s goal is to prevent the Act’s requirements from having a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

       Domestic Franchise revenues increased 15.0% to $8.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The increase reflects higher domestic royalty revenues resulting from an increase in sales by domestic franchise stores from approximately $210 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 to $237 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Approximately $5.9 million of the increase in sales is the result of refranchising Company stores. Domestic Franchise same store sales rose 11.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

       The increase in other Domestic Franchise revenues principally reflects rental income charged to two franchisees for stores leased or subleased to the franchisees in connection with the Kansas/Missouri and Dallas refranchising transactions in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively.

       Domestic Franchise segment operating expenses include costs to recruit new domestic franchisees, to assist in domestic store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of domestic franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. Domestic Franchise operating expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 reflect increased costs related to the addition of new personnel in fiscal 2013 and other costs associated with the execution of the Company’s domestic franchise expansion program.

       Domestic Franchise segment operating expenses for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 reflect a gain of $1.7 million on the sale of leasehold interests to a franchisee that occurred in September 2012. Recognition of such gain previously was deferred because the franchisee’s initial and continuing investment was less than the 20% of the purchase price required by GAAP to permit recognition of a gain on the transaction. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the franchisee’s initial and continuing investment first exceeded 20% of the purchase price and, accordingly, the Company recognized the previously deferred gain. See “Asset Divestitures” in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

       Domestic franchisees opened seven stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Additionally, the Company executed a development agreement with a new franchisee in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to develop four Krispy Kreme locations in the Alaska market through fiscal 2016. On February 22, 2013, a new domestic franchisee who was a former employee of the Company acquired three Krispy Kreme stores from the Company and on July 11, 2013, a new domestic franchisee acquired three Krispy Kreme stores from the Company and signed a development agreement pursuant to which the franchisee agreed to develop 15 new Krispy Kreme shops in the Dallas market through fiscal 2019 as more fully described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. As of November 3, 2013, development agreements for territories in the United States provide for the development of approximately 65 additional stores through fiscal 2020. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

       International Franchise royalties increased 5.1%, driven by an increase in sales by international franchise stores from $311 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 to $321 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Changes in the rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in which the Company’s international franchisees do business decreased sales by international franchisees measured in U.S. dollars by approximately $14.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013, which negatively affected international royalty revenues by approximately $860,000. Excluding the effects of exchange rates, sales by international franchisees rose 7.9%. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $360,000 of royalties collected during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 related to franchisee sales in prior periods which had not previously been recorded as revenue due to the uncertainty surrounding the collection of these royalties.

       International Franchise same store sales, measured on a constant currency basis to eliminate the effects of changing exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (“constant dollar same store sales”), fell 6.4%. The decline in International Franchise same store sales reflects, among other things, waning honeymoon effects from the large number of new stores opened internationally in recent years and the cannibalization effects on initial stores in new markets of additional store openings in those markets. “Cannibalization effect” means the tendency for new stores to become successful, in part or in whole, by “shifting” sales from existing stores in the same market. “Honeymoon effect” means the common pattern for many start-up restaurants in which a flurry of activity due to start-up publicity and natural curiosity is followed by a decline during which a steady repeat customer base develops.

       Constant dollar same store sales in established markets rose 1.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fell 13.6% in new markets. “Established markets” means countries in which the first Krispy Kreme store opened before fiscal 2007. Sales at stores in established markets comprised 52% of aggregate constant dollar same store sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2014. While the Company considers countries in which Krispy Kreme first opened before fiscal 2007 to be established markets, franchisees in those markets continue to develop their business. Of the 521 international shops currently in operation that opened since the beginning of fiscal 2007, 224 shops are in these established markets.

       International Franchise operating expenses include costs to recruit new international franchisees, to assist in international store openings, and to monitor and aid in the performance of international franchise stores, as well as allocated corporate costs. International Franchise operating expenses increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to $4.6 million compared to $4.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, principally reflecting higher personnel and personnel-related costs and other costs to support continuing and anticipated international growth. Management expects International Franchise operating expenses to continue to rise in the remainder of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2013 due to personnel additions to support international franchise growth, as well as anticipated fiscal 2014 shop openings in new markets which typically require a greater level of franchisor support than openings in existing markets. The increase in the operating expenses in the nine months of fiscal 2014 was partially offset by a credit in bad debt expense of $165,000 resulting principally from recoveries of accounts previously written off. A net credit in bad debt expense should not be expected to recur frequently.

       International franchisees opened 70 stores and closed 16 stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Additionally, the Company executed a development agreement in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 with a new franchisee to develop 25 Krispy Kreme locations in South America in major cities throughout Colombia through fiscal 2019. As of November 3, 2013, development agreements for territories outside the United States provide for the development of approximately 350 additional stores through fiscal 2019. Royalty revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

       Sales of doughnut mixes rose 13.9% year-over-year in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher unit volumes reflecting higher sales at Company and franchise shops and higher selling prices.

       Sales of other ingredients, packaging and supplies, which are made principally to Company and Domestic Franchise stores, rose 7.2% year-over-year in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 due to higher unit volumes reflecting higher sales at Company and franchise shops. The greater increase in sales of doughnut mixes compared to sales of other ingredients, packaging and supplies reflects, among other things, process and equipment innovations by the Company that have reduced consumption of certain ingredients.

       Equipment sales increased to $8.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from $6.2 million principally due to an increased level of store openings and increased sales of replacement parts.

       KK Supply Chain utilizes a fuel surcharge program to recoup additional freight costs resulting from increases in fuel costs. Charges under the program are based upon the excess, if any, of the price of diesel fuel over a pre-established base level, with the base level generally adjusted annually.

       KK Supply Chain cost of sales increased to 71.5% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from 71.4% of revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The cost of goods produced and purchased fell 0.8 percentage points, over half of which was due to lower provisions for obsolete and excess equipment inventories. KK Supply Chain had net losses on agricultural derivative positions of $633,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to net gains of $1.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The Company has not designated any of its derivative positions as cash flow hedges and accordingly, changes in the market value of those positions are reflected in earnings as they occur.

       Distribution costs as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.5 percentage points to 6.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 principally reflecting economies of scale.

54

       Other segment operating costs include segment management, purchasing, customer service and support, laboratory and quality control costs, and research and development expenses. Other segment operating costs as a percentage of revenues declined by 0.3 percentage points to 5.3% in the in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, principally reflecting economies of scale.

       Franchisees opened 77 stores and closed 16 stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. A substantial portion of KK Supply Chain’s revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

       A significant portion of franchise store sales is attributable to sales by franchisees outside the United States. The Company sells doughnut mixes, either manufactured by the Company in the United States or blended by contract mix manufacturers using concentrates supplied by the Company, to all its international franchisees. Most of these franchisees purchase substantially all other ingredients, packaging and supplies through sourcing arrangements approved by the Company. Accordingly, KK Supply Chain revenues are less correlated with sales by international franchisees than with sales by domestic franchisees, which purchase substantially all of their ingredients from KK Supply Chain. Like all international businesses, the Company and its international franchisees must address the risks of international trade, including taxes, tariffs, duties and transportation costs, which can affect the franchisees’ product costs and therefore indirectly affect the pace of development. The Company, in cooperation with its international franchisees, continually seeks to mitigate the impact of these factors. For example, the Company has developed premix and concentrate doughnut mix production models, and has been continuously pursuing alternative sourcing arrangements in various markets.

   General and Administrative Expenses

       General and administrative expenses increased to $17.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from $16.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.0% from 5.1%.

       General and administrative expenses include costs of approximately $420,000 and $240,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the selection and implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system.

       Provisions for incentive compensation rose $740,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year. General and administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 include approximately $2.7 million of incentive compensation provisions based on fiscal 2014 operating results (with an additional charge of approximately $2.9 million included in direct operating expenses) compared to $2.0 million of incentive compensation in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 (with an additional charge of approximately $2.6 million included in direct operating expense).

       The increase in general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation of $523,000. Share-based compensation expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 included approximately $600,000 related principally to a January 2012 grant to an executive officer who achieved retirement eligibility under the terms of the Company’s stock compensation plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Share-based payment awards to retirement eligible persons are charged to expense over the period from the grant date to the date of retirement eligibility rather than being amortized over the four-year vesting period of the awards, which has the effect of accelerating the recognition of the expense associated with awards to such persons as they approach retirement eligibility.

   Impairment Charges and Lease Termination Costs

       Impairment charges and lease termination costs were $1.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $302,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

Lease termination costs		1,543		302

       The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company’s annual budgeting process. Impairment charges generally relate to Company stores expected to be closed or refranchised, as well as to stores management believes will not generate sufficient future cash flows to enable the Company to recover the carrying value of the stores’ assets, but which management has not yet decided to close. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values of these assets are estimated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, on independent appraisals and, in the case of assets the Company currently is negotiating to sell, based on the Company’s negotiations with unrelated third-party buyers

       Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities were estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.

       In late November, 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company in its dispute with the landlord of a former Company commissary in Lorton, Virginia. The Company subsequently agreed to settle the matter with the former landlord, as more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein, and the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the resolution of the matter.

       The Company intends to refranchise additional geographic markets, expected to consist principally of, but not necessarily limited to, markets outside the Company’s traditional base in the Southeastern United States. The franchise rights and other assets in many of these markets were acquired by the Company in business combinations in prior years.

       From fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2013, the Company refranchised a total of 11 stores and received consideration totaling $2.5 million in connection with those transactions. During this period, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $490,000 related to completed and anticipated refranchisings,

       On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9.0 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss on the refranchising transaction. On July 11, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Dallas market. The three stores had total sales of approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 2013. The Company realized a gain of $876,000 on the refranchising transaction, which is included in the Company Stores segment.

       The Company cannot predict the likelihood of refranchising any additional stores or markets or the amount of proceeds, if any, which might be received therefrom, including the amounts which might be realized from the sale of store assets and the execution of any related franchise agreements. Asset dispositions associated with future refranchisings could result in the recognition of impairment losses on the related assets.

   Interest Income

       Interest income increased to $472,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from $102,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, principally due to the recognition of previously deferred interest income on a note received from a franchisee as part of the consideration for its purchase of leasehold interests from the Company. A total of $250,000 in interest income on the note receivable was recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, of which $70,000 accrued in fiscal 2013. See “Asset Divestitures” in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

   Interest Expense

       The components of interest expense are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	November 3,		October 28,
	2013		2012
	(In thousands)
Interest accruing on outstanding term loan indebtedness	$	259	$	534
Letter of credit and unused revolver fees		176		223
Amortization of cost of interest rate derivatives		39		19
Amortization of deferred financing costs		258		300
Other		190		126
	$	922	$	1,202

56

       On July 12, 2013, the Company refinanced its secured credit facilities and repaid the $21.7 million remaining balance of its term loan as described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

   Loss on Refinancing of Debt

       The Company recorded a charge of $967,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 on the retirement of its term loan and the refinancing of its credit facilities, consisting of a $451,000 write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related principally to the Company’s term loan, which was retired in full, and a $516,000 write-off related to the termination of an interest rate hedge related to the term loan. The $516,000 charge related to the interest rate hedge was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to “Loss on refinancing of debt” in the consolidated statement of income because the hedged forecasted transaction (interest on the term loan) will not occur.

   Equity in Income (Losses) of Equity Method Franchisees

       The Company recorded equity in the losses of equity method franchisees of $174,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to losses of $150,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. This caption represents the Company’s share of operating results of equity method franchisees which develop and operate Krispy Kreme stores.

   Provision for Income Taxes

       The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was 46% compared to 43% for the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Included in income tax expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 is a charge of approximately $685,000 to revalue the Company’s deferred income tax assets to reflect a reduction in the North Carolina corporate income tax rate enacted by the North Carolina state legislature during the quarter, as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

       The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 also includes a charge of approximately $575,000 to correct an error in accruals for uncertain tax positions that originated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. This resulted in an increase in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 of 1.6%. The error, which related to a previous misunderstanding of the application of the statute of limitations, and its correction were not material to the results of any period; accordingly, the error was corrected in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and prior financial statements were not restated.

       The portion of the income tax provision representing taxes estimated to be payable currently was $2.0 million and $1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, consisting principally of foreign withholding taxes related to royalties and franchise fees paid to the Company by international franchisees. The current provision for income taxes also reflects adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions, including potential interest and penalties which could result from the resolution of such uncertainties.

       The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate on GAAP ordinary income for fiscal 2014 is 43%. Management’s estimate of the fiscal 2014 effective income tax rate is subject to revision in the fourth quarters as additional information becomes available.

       See “Results of Operations – Nine months ended November 3, 2013 compared to nine months ended October 28, 2012 – Adjusted Net Income” above for non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company’s income tax expense and income taxes currently payable. These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

       The Company had valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets of $9.5 million at November 3, 2013 and $9.8 million at February 3, 2013, representing the portion of such deferred tax assets which, as of such dates, management estimated would not be realized. Under GAAP, future realization of deferred tax assets is evaluated under a “more likely than not” standard. Realization of net deferred tax assets generally is dependent on generation of taxable income in future periods. From fiscal 2005 until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets equal to the entire excess of those assets over the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of those assets. Such uncertainty arose principally from the substantial losses incurred by the Company from fiscal 2005 though fiscal 2009.

57

       The Company reported a pretax profit of $418,000 in fiscal 2010 and $8.9 million in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2012, the Company’s pretax profit increased to $30.4 million, inclusive of a $6.2 million non-recurring gain from the Company’s sale of its 30% interest in KK Mexico. After considering all relevant factors having an impact on the likelihood of future realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 management concluded that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized in future years and, in accordance with GAAP, reversed $139.6 million of the valuation allowance, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes.

       Two of the most significant factors considered by management in reaching its conclusion were that the Company earned a significant pretax profit in both fiscal 2011 and 2012 and the positive trend in the Company’s earnings. In fiscal 2013, the Company’s pretax income rose to $36.3 million.

       The evaluation of the amount of net deferred tax assets expected to be realized necessarily involves forecasting the amount of taxable income that will be generated in future years. In addition, because a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that are subject to expiration, the specific future periods in which taxable income is generated may have a material effect on the amount of deferred tax assets that ultimately are realized. The Company has forecasted future results using estimates management believes to be reasonable and which are based on objective verifiable evidence. The most important factor considered by management in making its forecast was the Company’s results of operations for fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013. Assuming the Company generates pretax income of $24 million in each future year, which approximates the Company’s average pretax income in fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013, management estimates that approximately $116 million of its deferred tax assets will be realized in periods after fiscal 2013. The decrease in the amount of deferred income tax assets expected to be realized from January 29, 2012 to February 3, 2013 reflected the realization in fiscal 2013 of approximately $13 million of such assets and the loss of approximately $9.8 million of income tax benefits associated with the expiration in fiscal 2013 of warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock issued in prior years, as more fully described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2013.

       The remaining valuation allowance of $9.5 million represents the portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss carryforwards having relatively short carryover periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused.

       The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management’s forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.

       As described above, in making its estimate of the amount of deferred tax assets which will be realized in future periods, the Company estimated annual future pretax income of approximately $24 million. Based on that estimate, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $9.5 million was appropriate. A 10% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have had no material effect on management’s determination of the amount of deferred tax valuation allowance. A 20% reduction in the amount of assumed future annual pretax income would have caused management’s determination of the appropriate valuation allowance to increase from $9.5 million to approximately $14.3 million. If the Company’s earnings remain at current levels or continue to increase, it is reasonably likely that management would conclude that its estimate of annual income in future years should increase. For example, if management concluded that a future annual earnings forecast of $34 million, which approximates fiscal 2013 pretax income measured on a 52-week basis, were appropriate, then the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance would be reduced by approximately $3 million, with an offsetting credit to the provision for income taxes. Management believes that because estimates of future earnings are inherently subjective, and because such estimates necessarily involve forecasting many years into the future, frequent revisions to such estimates should not be expected. While the Company’s results of operations continued to improve in fiscal 2013 and exceeded management’s estimated annual pretax income for future years of $24 million described above, the Company believes that additional evidence is necessary before concluding that the level of pretax income achieved in fiscal 2013 is sustainable on a long-term basis. Management believes that such evidence should include, among other things, at least one additional year, subsequent to fiscal 2013, of pretax profits substantially in excess of $24 million before it would be appropriate for management to revise upward its estimate of future annual pretax income. Management revisited this conclusion as of November 3, 2013, and determined that such conclusion remained appropriate. If the Company’s favorable operating results are sustained in the fourth quarter, and sufficient other evidence considered necessary to support realizability of additional deferred tax assets is present, then management could conclude that a reversal of some portion of the valuation allowance may be appropriate at that time. The Company cannot presently predict whether a reversal will occur, or how much of the current $9.5 million valuation allowance could potentially be reversed if future conditions warrant. Any potential reversal will have no effect on the Company’s cash flows.

     Net Income

       The Company reported net income of $19.5 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2013 and $16.0 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The following table presents a summary of the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.

	Nine Months Ended
	November 3,			October 28,
	2013			2012
		(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	41,011		$	37,978
Net cash used for investing activities		(15,422	)		(9,982	)
Net cash used for financing activities		(25,176	)		(22,412	)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	413		$	5,584

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

       Net cash provided by operating activities rose $3.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable fiscal 2013 period. Operating results generated $44.3 million of cash flow in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $37.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

       Inventories increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, principally due to higher levels of equipment inventories related to an anticipated increase in new store openings. A smaller increase in equipment inventory in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was offset by a decrease in inventories associated with the outsourcing of distribution of doughnut mixes and other KK Supply Chain products for international and certain domestic stores to a third party vendor.

       In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recovered a cash deposit of $2.0 million related to the lease of its corporate headquarters; such recovery is reflected in the increase in other current and non-current assets for the nine months ended November 3, 2013. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company paid a guarantee obligation of $1.6 million related to an Equity Method Franchisee, as described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statement appearing elsewhere herein; such payment is reflected in the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the nine months ended November 3, 2013. In fiscal 2013, the Company received $1.8 million of landlord contributions to building renovation costs related to the Company’s headquarters building and to new stores; such receipts are included in the change in other long term obligations and deferred credits for the nine months ended October 28, 2012.

       The remainder of the change in cash flows from operating activities principally reflects normal fluctuations in working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

       Net cash used for investing activities was $15.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $10.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

       Cash used for capital expenditures increased to $18.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 from $9.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The components of capital expenditures were approximately as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	November 3,			October 28,
	2013			2012
	(In thousands)
New store construction	$	7,542		$	2,378
Store remodels and betterments		3,119			1,032
Other store equipment, including vehicles and point-of-sale and handheld equipment		3,273			2,922
Corporate office remodel		1,696			3,061
Corporate information technology		2,488			253
Other		487			259
		18,605			9,905
Net change in unpaid capital expenditures included in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities		(516	)		(425	)
Cash used for purchase of property and equipment	$	18,089		$	9,480

59

     The Company currently expects capital expenditures to range from $22 million to $27 million in fiscal 2014. The Company intends to fund these capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities, from existing cash balances and, to a lesser extent, through leases.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment include approximately $1.0 million of proceeds from the disposal of a closed store.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company refranchised three Company-owned stores in the Dallas market to a new franchisee. The aggregate purchase price for the assets was $681,000 cash as described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company acquired the assets and operations of one of its franchisees in exchange for $915,000 cash as described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $25.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $22.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company repaid approximately $24.5 million of outstanding term loan and capitalized lease indebtedness. The Company repaid the $21.7 million remaining outstanding balance of its term loan in connection with the refinancing of its credit facilities described in Note 7 in the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. Additional payments included approximately $1.2 million of scheduled principal amortization, $930,000 of prepayments from the sale of assets, and $730,000 of prepayments from the proceeds of stock option exercises.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company made approximately $1.7 million in scheduled repayments of term loan and capitalized lease indebtedness.

On July 11, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's common stock. The Company repurchased 33,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 at an average cost of $18.88 per share, for a total cost of $627,000.

On March 27, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company completed the share repurchase during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, purchasing a total of 3,113,000 shares in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 at an average cost of $6.42 per share, for a total cost of $20 million.

Repurchase of common shares also includes $2.0 million and $758,000, respectively, for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, for shares surrendered by employees to satisfy their obligations to reimburse the Company for the minimum required statutory withholding taxes arising from the vesting of restricted stock awards by surrendering vested common shares in lieu of reimbursing the Company in cash.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes from the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the 2013 Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of November 3, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of November 3, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     During the quarter ended November 3, 2013, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Pending Matters

Except as disclosed below, the Company currently is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

   K² Asia Litigation

On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K² Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages. The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. On July 26, 2013, the Superior Court dismissed the Philippines-based defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the plaintiffs have noticed an appeal of that decision.

   Colchester Security Litigation

On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company. The plaintiff sought $2.7 million in damages. The Company denied the allegations and pursued counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease. In June and July 2013, the parties tried the case to a judge pro tem pursuant to the Fairfax County Court’s alternate dispute resolution program. Oral argument on the post-trial briefs occurred in October 2013.

In late November 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company with respect to some of the claims by the former landlord, and reserved judgment on an additional claim pending further argument. All of the Company’s counterclaims were denied. Accordingly, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million related to this matter. Such charge increased the lease termination accrual for this lease to an aggregate of $1.9 million, representing the amount of the damages awarded and an estimate of plaintiff’s attorney’s fees. Subsequently, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord on all issues for an amount approximating the aggregate accrual, and such settlement currently is being documented.

The components of impairment charges and lease termination costs are as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		November 3,		October 28,		November 3,		October 28,
		2013		2012		2013		2012
		(In thousands)

Lease termination costs			1,531		216		1,543		302
	Total impairment charges and lease termination costs	$	1,531	$	216	$	1,543	$	302

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances include store closing and refranchising decisions, the effects of changing costs on current results of operations, observed trends in operating results, and evidence of changed circumstances observed as a part of periodic reforecasts of future operating results and as part of the Company's annual budgeting process. When the Company concludes that the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable (based on future projected undiscounted cash flows), the Company records impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values.

Lease termination costs represent the estimated fair value of liabilities related to unexpired leases, after reduction by the amount of accrued rent expense, if any, related to the leases, and are recorded when the lease contracts are terminated or, if earlier, the date on which the Company ceases use of the leased property. The fair value of these liabilities are estimated as the excess, if any, of the contractual payments required under the unexpired leases over the current market lease rates for the properties, discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate over the remaining term of the leases. The provision for lease termination costs also includes adjustments to liabilities recorded in prior periods arising from changes in estimated sublease rentals and from settlements with landlords.

In late November, 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company in its dispute with the landlord of a former Company commissary in Lorton, Virginia. The Company subsequently agreed to settle the matter with the former landlord, as more fully described in Note 8, and the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended November 3, 2013 related to the resolution of the matter.

The transactions reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs are summarized as follows:

					Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
					November 3,		October 28,		November 3,		October 28,
					2013		2012		2013		2012
				(In thousands)

		Accretion of discount			6		7		18		23

		lessors			(20)		(48)		(70)		(164)
Balance at end of period				$	2,119	$	847	$	2,119	$	847

Included in the lease termination accrual at November 3, 2013 was $2.0million expected to be paid within one year.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 3 — Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon management's expectation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized for which payment has been deferred, or expenses which have been deducted in the Company's tax returns but which have not yet been recognized as an expense in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax deductions or credits that will be reflected in future tax returns for which the Company has already recorded a tax benefit in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company establishes valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets in accordance with GAAP, which provides that such valuation allowances shall be established unless realization of the income tax benefits is more likely than not.

The valuation allowance of $9.5million at November 3, 2013 and $9.8 million at February 3, 2013 represents the portion of the Company's deferred tax assets management estimates will not be realized in the future. Such assets are associated principally with state net operating loss and state credit carryforwards having relatively short carryforward periods which are forecasted to expire unused, as well as federal foreign tax credits and federal jobs credit carryforwards forecasted to expire unused. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the North Carolina state legislature enacted a prospective reduction in the corporate income tax rate, which caused the Company to revalue its deferred income tax assets to reflect the lower income tax rate. Such revaluation reduced the Company's deferred tax assets by approximately $1.0 million. Because a portion of the deferred tax assets were already subject to a valuation allowance, the revaluation of the assets resulted in a reduction in the necessary valuation allowance of approximately $315,000. The effect of the legislation was therefore to reduce the Company's net deferred tax assets by approximately $685,000; such amount was included in income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. While management believes its forecast of future taxable income is reasonable, actual results inevitably will vary from management's forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements.

In fiscal 2008, the Company issued warrants to acquire shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $12.21 per share in connection with the settlement of certain litigation. The warrants expired unexercised in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and, accordingly, the Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction related to them. Deferred tax assets at January 29, 2012 included approximately $7.2million related to these warrants. In accordance with GAAP, such amounts were charged to common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 because common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes cumulative credits related to share-based compensation in excess of such amounts.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standards for fair value measurements define fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The accounting standards for fair value measurements establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 3, 2013 and February 3, 2013.

The fair value of the interest rate derivative at February 3, 2013 was estimated based on an indicative bid price. There were no outstanding interest rate derivatives at November 3, 2013.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

There were no material nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded during the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012.

LossContingencyActionsTakenByPlaintiff			On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K2 Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages. The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. On July 26, 2013, the Superior Court dismissed the Philippines-based defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the plaintiffs have noticed an appeal of that decision.

Loss Contingency Name Of Plaintiff			Colchester Security II, LLC
LossContingencyActionsTakenByPlaintiff			On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company.  The plaintiff sought $2.7 million in damages.  The Company denied the allegations and pursued counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease.

Gain Contingency, Unrecorded Amount	3,000,000		3,000,000
Loss Contingency Trial Or Alternative Dispute Resolution			In June and July 2013, the parties tried the case to a judge pro tem pursuant to the Fairfax County Court’s alternate dispute resolution program. Oral argument on the post-trial briefs occurred in October 2013. In late November 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company with respect to some of the claims by the former landlord, and reserved judgment on an additional claim pending further argument. All of the Company’s counterclaims were denied. Accordingly, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million related to this matter. Such charge increased the lease termination accrual for this lease to an aggregate of $1.9 million, representing the amount of the damages awarded and an estimate of plaintiff’s attorney’s fees. Subsequently, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord on all issues for an amount approximating the aggregate accrual, and such settlement currently is being documented.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 1 — Accounting Policies

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (“KKDI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the sale of doughnuts and complementary products through Company-owned stores. The Company also derives revenue from franchise and development fees and royalties from franchisees. Additionally, the Company sells doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut-making equipment to franchisees.

Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2013 Form 10-K. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company's accounting practices described in the 2013 Form 10-K, but have not been audited. In management's opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data as of February 3, 2013 were derived from the Company's audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The financial statements include the accounts of KKDI and its subsidiaries, the most significant of which is KKDI's principal operating subsidiary, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation.

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which the Company does not control, and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. These entities are 25% to 35% owned and are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Equity Method Franchisees.”

EARNINGS PER SHARE. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, computed using the treasury stock method. Such potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of currently unvested restricted stock units.

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

			Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
			November 3,		October 28,		November 3,		October 28,
			2013		2012		2013		2012
			(In thousands)
Numerator: net income			$	6,780	$	5,044	$	19,496	$	15,999
Denominator:
	Basic earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding			67,543		66,668		67,274		67,897
	Effect of dilutive securities:
		Stock options and warrants		3,173		1,719		2,948		1,663
		Restricted stock units		790		416		836		481
	Diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares
		outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares		71,506		68,803		71,058		70,041

The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not necessarily equal earnings per share for the year to date.

Stock options and warrants with respect to 33,000and 3.1million shares for the three months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Stock options and warrants with respect to 309,000and 3.2million sharesfor the nine months endedNovember 3, 2013and October 28, 2012, respectively, as well as58,000 unvested restricted stock unitsfor the nine months endedOctober 28, 2012, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. Accounting standards on reporting comprehensive income require that certain items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and certain mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges (which are not reflected in net income) be presented as components of comprehensive income. The cumulative amounts recognized by the Company under these standards are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity.

CORRECTION OF BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION ERROR. The Company's KK Supply Chain transfers doughnut mixes and certain other goods to third-party distribution companies which, in turn, distribute such products to Company and franchise stores pursuant to distribution contracts with KK Supply Chain. The Company does not record revenues or profit on the product transfers to the distribution companies because all revenue recognition criteria are not met at that time. Revenues and profit are recorded only upon the delivery of the goods to the stores by the distribution companies (and the sales to Company shops are eliminated in consolidation). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company concluded that certain of the Company's receivables from third-party distribution companies resulting from the product transfers had been incorrectly reported as a component of inventories, rather than as a component of receivables, in prior periods. The Company corrected this classification error as of February 3, 2013. While not material to previously issued financial statements, to enhance comparability, the Company corrected the corresponding error as of October 28, 2012 and January 29, 2012, by revising the classification of $4.3million and $3.9 million, respectively, of receivables from the distribution companies previously classified as inventories to receivables. The error also affected the change in inventories and change in receivables line items in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 28, 2012, but there was no effect on net cash provided by operating activities.  The Company revised its statement of cash flows to adjust the increase in receivables from $1.5 millionto $2.0 million and to adjust the increase in inventories from $169,000 toa decrease in inventories of $314,000 forthe nine months ended October 28, 2012. Correction of this error had no effect on the Company's results of operations, total current assets, working capital, or total operating, investing, or financing cash flows.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued an update to its accounting guidance which requires unrecognized tax benefits to be netted with net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards in the consolidated balance sheet if specific criteria are met. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance permits, but does not require, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the foregoing notes receivable, the Company had promissory notes totaling approximately $2.9million at November 3, 2013 and $3.3 million at February 3, 2013 representing principally royalties and fees due to the Company which, as a result of doubt about their collection, the Company has not yet recorded as revenues. During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013, the Company collected $10,000 and $370,000, respectively, related to these promissory notes and recorded such collections in revenues as received.

In addition to the $2.9 million of accrued but unrecognized royalties and feesat November 3, 2013, the Company is owed approximately $1.6 million from a franchisee for reimbursement to the Company for payments made by the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 pursuant to the Company's guarantee of certain of the franchisee's indebtedness. Such amount is not reflected as an asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at November 3, 2013. See Note 6, “Investments in Franchisees”.

Note 2 — Segment Information

The Company's reportable segments are Company Stores, Domestic Franchise, International Franchise and KK Supply Chain. The Company Stores segment is comprised of the stores operated by the Company. These stores sell doughnuts and complementary products through both on-premises and wholesale sales channels, although some stores serve only one of these distribution channels. The Domestic Franchise and International Franchise segments consist of the Company's franchise operations. Under the terms of franchise agreements, domestic and international franchisees pay royalties and fees to the Company in return for the use of the Krispy Kreme name and ongoing brand and operational support. Expenses for these segments include costs to recruit new franchisees, to assist in store openings, to support franchisee operations and marketing efforts, as well as allocated corporate costs. The majority of the ingredients and materials used by Company stores are purchased from the KK Supply Chain segment, which supplies doughnut mix, other ingredients and supplies and doughnut making equipment to both Company and franchisee-owned stores.

All intercompany sales by the KK Supply Chain segment to the Company Stores segment are at prices intended to reflect an arms-length transfer price and are eliminated in consolidation. Operating income for the Company Stores segment does not include any profit earned by the KK Supply Chain segment on sales of doughnut mix and other items to the Company Stores segment; such profit is included in KK Supply Chain operating income.

The following table presents the results of operations of the Company's operating segments for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012. Segment operating income is consolidated operating income before unallocated general and administrative expenses and impairment charges and lease termination costs.

2013 Revolving Credit Facility

On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $40 million revolving secured credit facility (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) which matures in July 2018. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. No borrowings were made on the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility on the closing date, and the Company repaid the $21.7million remaining balance of the 2011 Term Loan and terminated the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities described below. The Company recorded a pretax charge of approximately $967,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to write off the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the terminated facility and to reflect the termination of a related interest rate hedge.

Interest on borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility is payable either at LIBOR or the Base Rate (which is the greatest of the prime rate, the Fed funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%), in each case plus the Applicable Percentage. The Applicable Percentage for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.15%, and for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.15%, in each case depending on the Company's leverage ratio. As of November3, 2013, the Applicable Margin was 1.25%.

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility contains provisions which permit the Company to obtain letters of credit, issuance of which constitutes usage of the lending commitments and reduces the amount available for cash borrowings. At closing, $9.2 million of letters of credit were issued under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to replace letters of credit issued under the terminated credit facilities, all of which secure the Company's reimbursement obligations to insurers under the Company's self-insurance programs.

The Company is required to pay a fee equal to the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR-based loans on the outstanding amount of letters of credit. There also is a fee on the unused portion of the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility lending commitment, ranging from 0.15% to 0.35%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The leverage ratio is required to be not greater than 2.25 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio is required to be not less than 1.3 to 1.0.

As of November 3, 2013, the Company's leverage ratio was 0.2 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.5 to 1.0.

The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter by Consolidated EBITDA for the Reference Period (each consisting of the four most recent fiscal quarters). For this purpose, debt includes not only indebtedness reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, but also, among other things, the amount of undrawn letters of credit, the principal balance of indebtedness of third parties to the extent such indebtedness is guaranteed by the Company, and any amounts reasonably expected to be paid with respect to any other guaranty obligations. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated for each Reference Period by dividing (a) the sum of (i) Consolidated EBITDA, plus (ii) Cash Lease Payments, minus (iii) cash income taxes, minus (iv) unfinanced capital expenditures, minus (v) purchases, redemptions, retirements, and cash dividend payments or other distributions in respect of the Company's common stock in excess of certain amounts, and minus (vi) the purchase price of all acquisitions of all or substantially all of the assets of any Krispy Kreme store or franchisee shopsby (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges.

“Consolidated EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure and is defined in the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to mean, for each Reference Period, generally, consolidated net income or loss, exclusive of unrealized gains and losses on hedging instruments, gains or losses on asset dispositions, and provisions for payments on guarantee obligations, plus the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, rent expense and lease termination costs, and certain non-cash charges; and minus the sum of non-cash credits, interest income, Cash Lease Payments, and payments on guaranty obligations in excess of $1 million during the Reference Period or $3 million in the aggregate.

“Cash Lease Payments” means the sum of cash paid or required to be paid for obligations under operating leases for real property and equipment (net of sublease income), lease payments on closed stores (but excluding payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases), and cash payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases to the extent the aggregate amount of such payments exceeds $1.5 million during a Reference Period or $5.0 million in the aggregate.

“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means the sum of cash interest expense, Cash Lease Payments, and scheduled principal payments of indebtedness.

The operation of the restrictive financial covenants described above may limit the amount the Company may borrow under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. The restrictive covenants did not limit the Company's ability to borrow the full $30.8million of unused credit under the 2013 Revolving Credit Agreement as of November 3, 2013.

The 2013Revolving Credit Facility also contains covenants which, among other things, generally limit (with certain exceptions):  liquidations, mergers, and consolidations; the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees); the incurrence additional liens; the sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or transfer of assets; certain investments; dividends and stock redemptions or repurchases in excess of certain amounts; transactions with affiliates; engaging in materially different lines of business; certain sale-leaseback transactions; and other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. The 2013Revolving Credit Facility also prohibits the transfer of cash or other assets to the Parent Company, whether by dividend, loan or otherwise, but provides for exceptions to enable the Parent Company to pay taxes, directors' fees and operating expenses, as well as exceptions to permit dividends in respect of the Company's common stock and stock redemptions and repurchases, to the extent permitted by the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility.

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of $5 million, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of $5 million and the occurrence of a change of control.

Borrowings and issuances of letters of credit under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of usual and customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.

2011 Secured Credit Facilities

On January 28, 2011, the Company entered into secured credit facilities (the “2011 Secured Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $25 million revolving credit line (the “2011 Revolver”) and a $35 million term loan (the “2011 Term Loan”), each of which were scheduled to mature in January 2016. The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. On July 12, 2013, the 2011 Term Loan was paid in full and the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were terminated.

Interest on borrowings under the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities was payable either at LIBOR or the Base Rate (which is the greatest of the prime rate, the Fed funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%), in each case plus the Applicable Percentage. The Applicable Percentage for LIBOR loans ranged from 2.25% to 3.00%, and for Base Rate loans ranged from 1.25% to 2.00%, in each case depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

On March 3, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract having an aggregate notional principal amount of $17.5 million. The derivative contract entitled the Company to receive from the counterparty the excess, if any, of the three-month LIBOR rate over 3.00% for each of the calendar quarters in the period beginning April 2012 and ending December 2015. The Company accounted for this derivative contract as a cash flow hedge. The contract was terminated in July 2013following the retirement in full of the 2011 Term Loan;the $516,000unrealized loss on the contract previously included in AOCI was reclassifiedto “Loss on refinancing of debt” in the consolidated statement of income because the hedged forecasted transaction (interest on the 2011 Term Loan) willnot occur.

The 2011 Revolver contained provisions which permitted the Company to obtain letters of credit, issuance of which constituted usage of the lending commitments and reduced the amount available for cash borrowings.

The Company was required to pay a fee equal to the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR-based loans on the outstanding amount of letters of credit, as well as a fronting fee of 0.125% of the amount of such letter of credit. There also was a fee on the unused portion of the 2011 Revolver lending commitment ranging from 0.35% to 0.65%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities required the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. For fiscal 2014, the leverage ratio was required to be not greater than 2.5 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was required to be not less than 1.2 to 1.0.

Debt Instrument Interest Rate Terms			LIBOR or the Base Rate (which is the greatest of the prime rate, the Fed funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%), in each case plus the Applicable Percentage.
Debt Instrument Covenant Description			The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The leverage ratio is required to be not greater than 2.25 to 1.0 and the fixed charge coverage ratio is required to be not less than 1.3 to 1.0. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter by Consolidated EBITDA for the Reference Period (each consisting of the four most recent fiscal quarters). For this purpose, debt includes not only indebtedness reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, but also, among other things, the amount of undrawn letters of credit, the principal balance of indebtedness of third parties to the extent such indebtedness is guaranteed by the Company, and any amounts reasonably expected to be paid with respect to any other guaranty obligations. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated for each Reference Period by dividing (a) the sum of (i) Consolidated EBITDA, plus (ii) Cash Lease Payments, minus (iii) cash income taxes, minus (iv) unfinanced capital expenditures, minus (v) purchases, redemptions, retirements, and cash dividend payments or other distributions in respect of the Company’s common stock in excess of certain amounts, and minus (vi) the purchase price of all acquisitions of all or substantially all of the assets of any Krispy Kreme store or franchisee shops by (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges. “Consolidated EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure and is defined in the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to mean, for each Reference Period, generally, consolidated net income or loss, exclusive of unrealized gains and losses on hedging instruments, gains or losses on asset dispositions, and provisions for payments on guarantee obligations, plus the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, rent expense and lease termination costs, and certain non-cash charges; and minus the sum of non-cash credits, interest income, Cash Lease Payments, and payments on guaranty obligations in excess of $1 million during the Reference Period or $3 million in the aggregate. “Cash Lease Payments” means the sum of cash paid or required to be paid for obligations under operating leases for real property and equipment (net of sublease income), lease payments on closed stores (but excluding payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases), and cash payments in settlement of future obligations under terminated operating leases to the extent the aggregate amount of such payments exceeds $1.5 million during a Reference Period or $5.0 million in the aggregate. “Consolidated Fixed Charges” means the sum of cash interest expense, Cash Lease Payments, and scheduled principal payments of indebtedness. The operation of the restrictive financial covenants described above may limit the amount the Company may borrow under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. The restrictive covenants did not limit the Company’s ability to borrow the full $30.8 million of unused credit under the 2013 Revolving Credit Agreement as of November 3, 2013. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also contains covenants which, among other things, generally limit (with certain exceptions):  liquidations, mergers, and consolidations; the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees); the incurrence additional liens; the sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or transfer of assets; certain investments; dividends and stock redemptions or repurchases in excess of certain amounts; transactions with affiliates; engaging in materially different lines of business; certain sale-leaseback transactions; and other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also prohibits the transfer of cash or other assets to the Parent Company, whether by dividend, loan or otherwise, but provides for exceptions to enable the Parent Company to pay taxes, directors’ fees and operating expenses, as well as exceptions to permit dividends in respect of the Company’s common stock and stock redemptions and repurchases, to the extent permitted by the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility.
Leverage Ratio			As of November 3, 2013, the Company’s leverage ratio was 0.2 to 1.0
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio			the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.5 to 1.0.

Equity Method Investments Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 6 — Investments in Franchisees

As of November 3, 2013, the Company had investments in three franchisees. These investments have been made in the form of capital contributions and, in certain instances, loans evidenced by promissory notes. These investments are reflected as “Investments in equity method franchisees” in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company's financial exposures related to franchisees in which the Company has an investment are summarized in the tables below.

The Company guaranteed loans from third-party lenders on behalf of Kremeworks, LLC (“Kremeworks”) and Krispy Kreme of South Florida, LLC (“KKSF”) to assist the franchisees in obtaining financing. The loans are collateralized by certain assets of the franchisee, generally the Krispy Kreme store and related equipment. The loan guarantee amounts represent the portion of the principal amount outstanding under the related loan that is subject to the Company's guarantee.

The Company has guaranteed20% of the outstanding principal balance of certain of Kremeworks' bank indebtedness, which, as amended, matures in October 2014. The aggregate amount of such indebtedness was approximately $800,000at November 3, 2013.

Current liabilities at February 3, 2013 included an accrual of $1.6millionfor potential payments under a loan guarantee related to KKSF, representing the amount the Company estimated it was likely to pay under such guarantee. KKSF failed to repay the indebtedness upon its maturity in October 2009; however, the lender did not immediately exercise its right to call the loan, and KKSF continued to make payments pursuant to an informal forbearance agreement with the lender. In October 2012, KKSF received notice that the original lender had sold the loan to a new lender, who thereafter advised KKSF that the entire balance due under the loan was due and owing, but made no demand for payment on KKSF or the Company. KKSF then entered into refinancing negotiations with the new lender, while continuing to make payments on the loan. Such negotiations were unsuccessful, and in October 2013 the new lender made demand on KKSF to retire the loan in full and on the Company to perform under its guarantee. On November 1, 2013, the Company made a loan of approximately $1.6 million to KKSF, the proceeds of which KKSF used to retire the debt in full, including accrued interest and lender expenses. Such amount was charged against the guarantee liabilities accrual, and the remaining balance of the accrual of approximately $30,000was credited to other non-operating income. The amount advanced to KKSF pursuant to the Company's guarantee is evidenced by a promissory note payable to the Company by KKSF, which is secured by a mortgage on real property at KKSF's most significant operating location as well as other KKSF assets, and which is guaranteed by KKSF's 65% majority owner; such collateral is substantially the same as that held by the prior lenders. The loan is payable in 36 monthly installments, including interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.0%. In light of the uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the note, including KKSF's failure to repay the indebtedness when due in 2009, failure to refinance the indebtedness with either of the prior lenders, and the lender ultimately demanding payment of the debt, the Company intends to record payments on the note in non-operating earnings as they are received until such time as the Company concludes that the collectability of some or all of the balance of the note is reasonably assured.

The Company does not believe that it will be required to perform under the Kremeworks guarantee.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 12 — Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company mitigates this risk of nonperformance by dealing with highly rated counterparties.

Additional disclosure about the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 11.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients of its products, of which flour, sugar and shortening are the most significant. In order to bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients, from time to time the Company purchases exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, and options on such contracts, for raw materials which are ingredients of its products or which are components of such ingredients, including wheat and soybean oil. The Company is also exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of gasoline used by its delivery vehicles. To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the price of its gasoline purchases, the Company may purchase exchange-traded commodity futures contracts and options on such contracts. The difference between the cost, if any, and the fair value of commodity derivatives is reflected in earnings because the Company has not designated any of these instruments as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating commodity prices. The settlement of commodity derivative contracts is reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a cash flow from operating activities. At November 3, 2013, the Company had commodity derivatives with an aggregate contract volume of 770,000 bushels of wheat. Other than the requirement to meet minimum margin requirements with respect to the commodity derivatives, there are no collateral requirements related to such contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

On March 3, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract having an aggregate notional principal amount of $17.5 million. The derivative contract entitled the Company to receive from the counterparty the excess, if any, of thethree-month LIBOR rate over 3.00% for each of the calendar quarters in the period beginning April 2012 and ending December 2015. The Company accounted for this derivative contract as a cash flow hedge. The contract was terminated in July 2013following the retirement in full of the 2011 Term Loan; the $516,000 unrealized loss on the contract previously included in AOCI was reclassified to “Loss on refinancing of debt” in the consolidated statement of income because the hedged forecasted transaction (interest on the 2011 Term Loan) would not occur.

Quantitative Summary of Derivative Positions and Their Effect on Results of Operations

The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheet as of November 3, 2013and February 3, 2013:

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Except as disclosed below, the Company currently is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Pending Litigation

K2 Asia Litigation

On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K2 Asia Ventures, and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, its franchisee in the Philippines, and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines, and seeks unspecified damages.The Company believes that these allegations are false and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. On July 26, 2013, the Superior Court dismissed the Philippines-based defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the plaintiffs have noticed an appeal of that decision.

Colchester Security Litigation

On January 27, 2012, Colchester Security II, LLC, the Company's former landlord in Lorton, Virginia, filed a suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia alleging breach of the lease and negligence resulting in property damage at a commissary facility previously operated by the Company.  The plaintiff sought $2.7 million in damages.  The Company denied the allegations and pursued counterclaims of approximately $3.0 million relating to indemnity claims and breach of the lease. In June and July 2013, the parties tried the case to a judge pro tem pursuant to the Fairfax County Court's alternate dispute resolution program. Oral argument on the post-trial briefs occurred in October 2013.

In late November 2013, the Fairfax County court entered a judgment against the Company with respect to some of the claims by the former landlord, and reserved judgment on an additional claim pending further argument. All of the Company's counterclaims were denied. Accordingly, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an additional lease termination charge of approximately $1.5 million related to this matter. Such charge increased the lease termination accrual for this lease to an aggregate of $1.9 million, representing the amount of the damages awarded and an estimate of plaintiff's attorney's fees. Subsequently, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord on all issues for an amount approximating the aggregate accrual, and such settlement currently is being documented.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company's primary bank had issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $9.2 million at November 3, 2013, all of which secure the Company's reimbursement obligations to insurers under the Company's self-insurance arrangements.

Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

Business Combination

On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the assets and operations of one of its franchisees in exchange for $915,000 cash. The acquired assets consisted principally of two Krispy Kreme stores. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows: $464,000 to property and equipment, $8,000 to other assets, and the balance of $443,000 to reacquired franchise rights. The results of operations of the acquired business have been included with those of the Company from the acquisition date. The acquired business's revenues and earnings for periods subsequent to the acquisition are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2012 on a pro forma basis assuming the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of those periods are not materially different from the Company's historical results of operations and, accordingly, have been omitted.

Asset Divestitures

On July 11, 2013, the Company refranchised threeCompany-owned stores in the Dallasmarket to a new franchisee. The aggregate purchase price for the assets was $681,000cash. The three stores had total sales of approximately $7.0million in fiscal 2013, of which approximately 45% represented wholesales sales.The franchise agreements with the new franchisee do not include wholesale sales rights. The Company Stores segment recorded a gain of $876,000on the refranchising transaction, which is included in direct operating expenses. The gain includes approximately $462,000related to the sale of equipment, and approximately $414,000related to the reversal of accrued rent expense related to a store lease assigned to the franchisee where the Company has been relieved of the primary lease obligation. The Company leased the other two stores, which the Company owns, to the franchisee. In connection with the refranchising, the Company executed a development agreement with the franchisee to develop 15 additional Krispy Kreme locations in the market through fiscal 2019.

On February 22, 2013, the Company refranchised three stores in the Kansas/Missouri market to a new franchisee who was a former employee of the Company; the Company closed a fourth store in the market in January 2013 in anticipation of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price of the assets was approximately $1.1 million, evidenced by a 7%promissory note payable in installments equal to 3.5% of the stores' sales beginning in February 2013. The four stores had total sales of approximately $9 million in fiscal 2013. The Company did not record a significant gain or loss onthis refranchising transaction.

On September 27, 2012, the Company sold to one of its franchisees the leasehold interests and certain other assets, including rights under franchise agreements, ofthree Krispy Kreme stores operated by the franchisee. The Company acquired the leasehold interests and other assets related to the three stores from the franchisee in August 2006 for $2.9 million cash. After the Company's acquisition of the assets, the franchisee continued to operate the stores for its own account pursuant to an operating agreement between the Company and the franchisee. The aggregate purchase price of the three stores and the related assets in the September 2012 transaction was approximately $3.6 million, of which approximately $360,000 was paid in cash at closing. The balance of the purchase price was evidenced by a promissory note in the approximate amount of $3.2 million, payable in monthly installments of approximately $51,000, including interest, beginning in November 2012, and a final installment of the remaining principal balance on October 1, 2017. The carrying value of the divested assets was approximately $1.9 million. Because the initial investment made by the franchisee to acquire the assets was less than the 20% minimum amount of the purchase price required by GAAP torecognize a gain on the sale, the Company deferred recognition of the $1.7 million gain, and such deferred gain was reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of the note receivable. Subsequently, the Company reported the principal and interest payments received from the franchisee as a reduction of the carrying value of the note. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the cumulativeinvestment made by the franchisee to acquire the assets firstexceededthe required 20% of the purchase price and, accordingly, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $1.7 million, which is included as a reduction in direct operating expenses of the Domestic Franchise segment. In addition, coincident with the recognition of the deferred gain, the Company recognized approximately $210,000 of interest income for interest payments received from the franchisee which initially were reported as a reduction in the carrying value of the note.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation [Policy Text Block]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2013 Form 10-K. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company's accounting practices described in the 2013 Form 10-K, but have not been audited. In management's opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data as of February 3, 2013 were derived from the Company's audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The financial statements include the accounts of KKDI and its subsidiaries, the most significant of which is KKDI's principal operating subsidiary, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation.

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which the Company does not control, and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. These entities are 25% to 35% owned and are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Equity Method Franchisees.”

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

EARNINGS PER SHARE. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, computed using the treasury stock method. Such potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of currently unvested restricted stock units.

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

The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not necessarily equal earnings per share for the year to date.

Stock options and warrants with respect to 33,000and 3.1million shares for the three months ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Stock options and warrants with respect to 309,000and 3.2million sharesfor the nine months endedNovember 3, 2013and October 28, 2012, respectively, as well as58,000 unvested restricted stock unitsfor the nine months endedOctober 28, 2012, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income Policy [Policy Text Block]

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. Accounting standards on reporting comprehensive income require that certain items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and certain mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges (which are not reflected in net income) be presented as components of comprehensive income. The cumulative amounts recognized by the Company under these standards are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity.

Prior Period Reclassification Adjustment Description [Policy Text Block]

CORRECTION OF BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION ERROR. The Company's KK Supply Chain transfers doughnut mixes and certain other goods to third-party distribution companies which, in turn, distribute such products to Company and franchise stores pursuant to distribution contracts with KK Supply Chain. The Company does not record revenues or profit on the product transfers to the distribution companies because all revenue recognition criteria are not met at that time. Revenues and profit are recorded only upon the delivery of the goods to the stores by the distribution companies (and the sales to Company shops are eliminated in consolidation). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company concluded that certain of the Company's receivables from third-party distribution companies resulting from the product transfers had been incorrectly reported as a component of inventories, rather than as a component of receivables, in prior periods. The Company corrected this classification error as of February 3, 2013. While not material to previously issued financial statements, to enhance comparability, the Company corrected the corresponding error as of October 28, 2012 and January 29, 2012, by revising the classification of $4.3million and $3.9 million, respectively, of receivables from the distribution companies previously classified as inventories to receivables. The error also affected the change in inventories and change in receivables line items in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 28, 2012, but there was no effect on net cash provided by operating activities.  The Company revised its statement of cash flows to adjust the increase in receivables from $1.5 millionto $2.0 million and to adjust the increase in inventories from $169,000 toa decrease in inventories of $314,000 forthe nine months ended October 28, 2012. Correction of this error had no effect on the Company's results of operations, total current assets, working capital, or total operating, investing, or financing cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued an update to its accounting guidance which requires unrecognized tax benefits to be netted with net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards in the consolidated balance sheet if specific criteria are met. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance permits, but does not require, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such adoption had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
