PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

BAB, Inc (“the Company”) has three wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”), BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”) and BAB Investments, Inc. (“Investments”). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagels® (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. My Favorite Muffin (“MFM”) was acquired in 1997 and is included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s (“Brewster’s”) was established in 1996 and the coffee is sold in BAB and MFM locations. SweetDuet® (“SD”) frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Operations was formed in 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores of which there are currently none. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired in 1999, and any branded wholesale business uses this trademark. Investments was incorporated in 2009 to be used for the purpose of acquisitions. To date there have been no acquisitions.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000. The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB and MFM trade names. At November 30, 2016, the Company had 85 franchise units and 3 licensed units in operation in 23 states and one international location. There are 2 units under development. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under licensing agreements with Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard, and Green Beans Coffee. Also, included in licensing fees and other income is Operations Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provides the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, menu panels, build charts, interior and exterior signage and point of purchase materials.

The BAB franchised brand consists of units operating as “Big Apple Bagels®,” featuring daily baked bagels, flavored cream cheeses, premium coffees, gourmet bagel sandwiches and other related products. BAB units are primarily concentrated in the Midwest and Western United States. The MFM brand consists of units operating as "My Favorite Muffin®," featuring a large variety of freshly baked muffins, coffees and related products, and units operating as "My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe," featuring these products as well as a variety of specialty bagel sandwiches and related products. The SweetDuet® brand is a fusion concept, pairing self-serve frozen yogurt with MFM’s exclusive line of My Favorite Muffin gourmet muffins. SD frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Although the Company doesn't actively market Brewster's stand-alone franchises, Brewster's coffee products are sold in most franchised units.

The Company is leveraging on the natural synergy of distributing muffin products in existing BAB units and, alternatively, bagel products and Brewster's Coffee in existing MFM units. The Company expects to continue to realize efficiencies in servicing the combined base of BAB and MFM franchisees.

Net Income

The Company reported net income of $449,000 and $110,000 for the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Food Service Industry

Food service businesses are often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional, and local economic conditions; demographic trends; traffic patterns; and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. Multi-unit food service chains, such as the Company's, can also be substantially adversely affected by publicity resulting from problems with food quality, illness, injury or other health concerns or operating issues stemming from one store or a limited number of stores. The food service business is also subject to the risk that shortages or interruptions in supply caused by adverse weather or other conditions could negatively affect the availability, quality and cost of ingredients and other food products. In addition, factors such as inflation, increased food and labor costs, regional weather conditions, availability and cost of suitable sites and the availability of experienced management and hourly employees may also adversely affect the food service industry in general and the Company's results of operations and financial condition in particular.

CUSTOMERS

The Company’s franchisees represent a varied geographic and demographic group. Among some of the primary services the Company provides to its franchisees are marketing assistance, training, time-tested successful recipes, bulk purchasing discounts, food service knowledgeable personnel and brand recognition.

SUPPLIERS

The Company's major suppliers are Coffee Bean International, Dawn Food Products, Inc., Schreiber Foods, Coca-Cola and U.S. Foods. The Company is not dependent on any of these suppliers for future growth and profitability since like products may be purchased from these suppliers are available from other sources.

LOCATIONS

The Company had 85 franchised locations and 3 licensed units in 23 states and one international location. There are 2 units under development.

STORE OPERATIONS

BIG APPLE BAGELS®--BAB franchised stores bake a variety of fresh bagels daily and offer up to 11 flavors of cream cheese spreads. Stores also offer a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches, salads, soups, various dessert items, fruit smoothies, gourmet coffees and other beverages. A typical BAB store is in an area with a mix of both residential and commercial properties and ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. The Company's current store design is approximately 1,800 square feet, with seating capacity for 20 to 30 persons, and includes approximately 750 square feet devoted to production and baking. A satellite store is typically smaller than a production store, averaging 800 to 1,200 square feet. Although franchise stores may vary in size from other franchise stores, store layout is generally consistent.

MY FAVORITE MUFFIN®--MFM franchised stores bake 20 to 25 varieties of muffins daily from over 250 recipes, plus a variety of bagels. They also serve gourmet coffees, beverages and, at My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe locations, a variety of bagel sandwiches and related products. The typical MFM store design is approximately 1,800 square feet, with seating capacity for 20 to 30 persons.

SWEETDUET®--SD The Company has one SweetDuet franchised store which offers frozen yogurt and various toppings from which customers prepare their own yogurt creations. They also serve My Favorite Muffin® gourmet muffins and Brewster’s® Coffee. Beginning in 2014, the SweetDuet concept is available as an added brand to a BAB or MFM location.

BREWSTER'S® COFFEE--Although the Company doesn't have, or actively market, Brewster's stand-alone franchises, Brewster's coffee products are sold in most of the franchised units.

FRANCHISING

The Company requires payment of an initial franchise fee per store, plus an ongoing 5% royalty on net sales. Additionally, BAB, MFM and SD franchisees are members of a marketing fund requiring an ongoing 3% contribution for general system-wide marketing. The Company currently requires a franchise fee of $25,000 on a franchisee's first full production BAB or MFM store. There is currently a $10,000 veterans discount for the franchise fee for the first location. The fee for subsequent production stores for BAB and MFM is $20,000. Beginning in 2014, the SD concept is available at no additional charge as an added brand to a BAB or MFM location.

The Company's current Franchise Disclosure Documents (“FDD”) provides for, among other things, the opportunity for prospective franchisees to enter into a Preliminary Agreement for their first production store. This agreement enables a prospective franchisee a period of 60 days in which to locate a site. The fee for this Preliminary Agreement is $10,000. If a site is not located and approved by the Company within the 60 days, the prospective franchisee will receive a refund of $7,000. If a site is approved, the entire $10,000 will be applied toward the initial franchise fee. See also last paragraph under "Government Regulation" section in this 10-K. The Company's Franchise Agreement provides a franchisee with the right to develop one store at a specific location. Each Franchise Agreement is for a term of 10 years with the right to renew. Franchisees are expected to be in operation no later than 10 months following the signing of the Franchise Agreement.

The Company will recognize revenue upon a signed and completed franchise agreement for a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”). The revenue for a MFA is a nonrefundable fee and the amount of the fee is dependent on the area covered by the MFA. In addition there will be an ongoing royalty fees as determined by the contract.

The Company currently advertises its franchising opportunities in directories, newspapers and the internet. In addition, prospective franchisees contact the Company as a result of patronizing an existing store.

COMPETITION

The quick service restaurant industry is intensely competitive with respect to product quality, concept, location, service and price. There are a number of national, regional and local chains operating both owned and franchised stores which compete with the Company on a national level or solely in a specific market or region. The Company believes that because the industry is extremely fragmented, there is a significant opportunity for expansion in the bagel, muffin, frozen yogurt and coffee concept chains.

The Company believes the primary direct competitors of its bagel units are Panera Bread Company, Bruegger's Bagel Bakery and Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, which operate Einstein Bros. Bagels. There are several other regional bagel chains with fewer than 50 stores, as well as numerous small, independently owned bagel bakeries and national fast food restaurants such as Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s, all of which may compete with the Company. There is no major national competitor in the muffin business, but there are a number of regional and local operators. The Company believes the primary direct competitors for its yogurt concept are Red Mango, Yogurtland and TCBY. There are several regional and a number of local individual operators. Additionally, the Company competes directly with a number of national, regional and local coffee competitors.

Other competition includes supermarket bakery sections and prepackaged, fresh and frozen bagels, muffins and yogurt. Certain of these competitors may have greater product and name recognition and larger financial, marketing and distribution capabilities than the Company. The Company believes the startup costs associated with opening a retail food establishment offering similar products on a stand-alone basis are competitive with the startup costs associated with opening its stores and, accordingly, such startup costs are not an impediment to entry into the retail bagel, muffin, frozen yogurt or coffee businesses.

The Company believes that its stores compete favorably in terms of food quality, and taste, convenience and customer service and value, which the Company believes are important factors to its targeted customers. Competition in the food service industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic and real estate conditions, demographic trends, traffic patterns, the cost and availability of labor, consumer purchasing power, availability of product and local competitive factors. The Company attempts to manage or adapt to these factors, but not all such factors are within the Company's control. Such factors could cause the Company and some or all of its franchisees to be adversely affected.

-5-

The Company competes for qualified franchisees with a wide variety of investment opportunities in the restaurant business, as well as other industries. Investment opportunities in the bagel bakery cafe business include franchises offered by Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Panera Bread Company and opportunities in the frozen yogurt business, including Red Mango, Yogurtland and TCBY. The Company's continued success is dependent on its reputation for providing high quality and value with respect to its service, products and franchises. This reputation is affected by the performance of its franchise stores and licensed units that sell branded products over which the Company has limited control.

TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS

The trademarks, trade names and service marks used by the Company contain common descriptive English words and thus may be subject to challenge by users of these words, alone or in combination with other words, to describe other services or products. Some persons or entities may have prior rights to these names or marks in their respective localities. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such names and marks are available in all locations. Any challenge, if successful, in whole or in part, could restrict the Company's use of the names and marks in areas in which the challenger is found to have used the name or mark prior to the Company's use. Any such restriction could limit the expansion of the Company's use of the names or marks into that region, and the Company and its franchisees may be materially and adversely affected.

The trademarks and service marks "Big Apple Bagels®," "My Favorite Muffin®," “SweetDuet®”and "Brewster's® Coffee" are registered under applicable federal trademark law. These marks are licensed by the Company to its franchisees pursuant to Franchise Agreements. In February 1999, the Company acquired the trademark of "Jacobs Bros. Bagels®" upon purchasing certain assets of Jacobs Bros. The "Jacobs Bros. Bagels®" mark is also registered under applicable federal trademark law.

The Company is aware of the use by other persons and entities in certain geographic areas of names and marks which are the same as, or similar to, the Company's names and marks. Some of these persons or entities may have prior rights to those names or marks in their respective localities; therefore, there is no assurance that the names and marks are available in all locations. It is the Company's policy to pursue registration of its names and marks whenever possible and to vigorously oppose any infringement of its names and marks.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The Company is subject to the Trade Regulation Rule of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") entitled “Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures'' (the "FTC Franchise Rule") and state and local laws and regulations that govern the offer, sale and termination of franchises and the refusal to renew franchises. Continued compliance with these broad federal, state and local regulatory networks is essential and costly. The failure to comply with such regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its franchisees. Violations of franchising laws and/or state laws and regulations regulating substantive aspects of doing business in a particular state could limit the Company's ability to sell franchises or subject the Company and its affiliates to rescission offers, monetary damages, penalties, imprisonment and/or injunctive proceedings. In addition, under court decisions in certain states, absolute vicarious liability may be imposed upon franchisors based upon claims made against franchisees. Even if the Company is able to obtain insurance coverage for such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover potential claims against the Company.

The Company and its franchisees are required to comply with federal, state and local government regulations applicable to consumer food service businesses, including those relating to the preparation and sale of food, minimum wage requirements, overtime, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, as well as regulations relating to zoning, construction, health and business licensing. Each store is subject to regulation by federal agencies and to licensing and regulation by state and local health, sanitation, safety, fire and other departments. Difficulties or failures in obtaining the required licenses or approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new Company-owned or franchise store, and failure to remain in compliance with applicable regulations could cause the temporary or permanent closing of an existing store. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with these provisions. Continued compliance with these federal, state and local laws and regulations is costly but essential, and failure to comply may have an adverse effect on the Company and its franchisees.

-6-

The Company's franchising operations are subject to regulation by the FTC under the Uniform Franchise Act which requires, among other things, that the Company prepare and periodically update a comprehensive disclosure document known as a FDD in connection with the sale and operation of its franchises. In addition, some states require a franchisor to register its franchise with the state before it may offer a franchise to a prospective franchisee. The Company believes its FDD, together with any applicable state versions or supplements, comply with both the FTC guidelines and all applicable state laws regulating franchising in those states in which it has offered franchises.

The Company is also subject to a number of state laws, as well as foreign laws (to the extent it offers franchises outside of the United States), that regulate substantive aspects of the franchisor-franchisee relationship, including, but not limited to, those concerning termination and non-renewal of a franchise.

EMPLOYEES

As of November 30, 2016, the Company employed 16 full time persons in the Corporate headquarters. The employees are responsible for corporate management and oversight, franchising, accounting, advertising and Sign Shop operations. None of the Company's employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements and management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

The Board of Directors declared a cash distribution/dividend on March 3, June 6 and September 6, 2016 of $0.01 per share, paid April 13, July 11, and October 12, 2016, respectively.

-8-

On May 6, 2013, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of BAB, Inc. authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the common stock of BAB, Inc. to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2013. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.90 per one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, between the Company and IST Shareholder Services, as rights agent.

The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 15% (or 20% in the case of certain institutional investors who report their holdings on Schedule 13G) or more of the Common Shares without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights may be to render more difficult a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by the Board. However, neither the Rights Agreement nor the Rights should interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board.

Full details about the Rights Plan are contained in a Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2013.

On June 18, 2014 an amendment to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement was filed appointing American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as successor to Illinois Stock Transfer Company. All original rights and provisions remain unchanged. On August 18, 2015, an amendment was filed to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement changing the final expiration date to mean the fifth anniversary of the original date of the agreement. All other original rights and provisions remain the same.

System-wide revenues were $35.5 million in 2016 and $34.8 million in 2015.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the ongoing royalties paid to the Company by its franchisees and from receipt of initial franchise fees. Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of licensed products (My Favorite Muffin mix, Big Apple Bagels cream cheese and Brewster's coffee), and through licensing agreements (Kohr Bros. and Green Beans Coffee). Also included in licensing fees and other income is Operation’s Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provides the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, posters, menu panels, build charts, outside window stickers and counter signs.

YEAR 2016 COMPARED TO YEAR 2015

Total revenues from all sources increased $170,000, or 7.7%, to $2,386,000 in 2016 from $2,216,000 in the prior year due to an increase in royalty revenue of $30,000, an increase in franchisee fee revenue of $28,000 and an increase in licensing fees and other income of $112,000.

-10-

Royalty revenue from franchise stores increased $30,000, or 1.7%, to $1,745,000 in 2016 as compared to $1,715,000 in 2015. Franchise fee revenue increased $28,000, or 32.9%, to $113,000 in 2016 versus $85,000 in 2015. During fiscal 2016 there were 3 store openings that had franchise fees, 6 transfers and one defaulted preliminary fee, compared to 3 store openings, 4 transfers in 2015. Licensing fees and other income increased $112,000, or 26.9%, to $528,000 in 2016 compared to $416,000 in 2015. The increase in licensing and other income was primarily due to an increase of $51,000 in settlement and other income, $54,000 in nontraditional revenues and $7,000 for Sign Shop revenues in 2016 as compared to 2015.

Total operating expenses in 2016 were $1,926,000, or 80.7% of revenues, compared to $2,113,000, or 95.4% of revenues in 2015. Total operating expenses decreased $187,000, or 8.8%, in 2016 compared to 2015. There was a judgment of $243,000 in 2015.

The decreases in operating expenses of $187,000 in 2016 were primarily due to the $243,000 judgment paid in 2015, a decrease in advertising and promotion of $16,000 and a decrease in travel of $7,000, offset by an increase in payroll of $27,000, an increase in legal and other professional fees of $17,000, an increase in franchise development of $7,000, Sign Shop expenses for cost of goods and obsolete inventory of $19,000, depreciation and amortization of $3,000, occupancy of $2,000 and other miscellaneous expenses increased $4,000 in 2016 compared to 2015.

Interest income decreased $1,000 to $1,000 in 2016 versus $2,000 in 2015.

Interest expense decreased $2,000 to $1,000 in 2016 versus $3,000 in 2015, as a result of a decrease in outstanding debt.

There was an income tax expense of $10,000 in 2016 compared to a benefit of $9,000 in 2015.

Net income totaled $449,000, or 18.8% of revenue in 2016 as compared to $110,000 or 5.0%, of revenue in the prior year. Earnings per share for basic and diluted outstanding shares is $.06 for 2016 and $.02 for 2015.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements, other than the lease commitments disclosed in Note 7 of the audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's significant accounting policies are presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements included herein). While all of the significant accounting policies impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, some of the policies may be viewed to be more critical. The more critical policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments and estimates. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of judgments and estimates form the basis for making judgments about the Company's value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following are its most critical accounting policies because they require more significant judgments and estimates in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

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

-12-

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

The Company recognizes revenue upon a signed and completed franchise agreement for a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”). The revenue for a MFA is a nonrefundable fee and the amount of the fee is dependent on the area covered by the MFA. In addition there will be an ongoing royalty fees as determined by the contract.

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

Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and routine repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Estimated useful lives for the purpose of depreciation and amortization are 3 to 7 years for property and equipment and 10 years, or the term of the lease if less, for leasehold improvements.

Following the guidelines contained in ASC 350, the corporation tests goodwill and intangible assets that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill and intangible assets were tested at the end of fiscal 2016 and the first fiscal quarter in 2016 and 2015, and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

The impairment test performed for fiscal 2016 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment was needed. An impairment test was performed at February 28, 2016 and at the end of fiscal 2016 and it was found that based on the computations using discounted cash flows, it was also determined that no impairment occurred.

Management does not believe that any impairment exists at November 30, 2016.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of royalty and wholesale accounts receivables. The Company believes it has maintained adequate reserves for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews the collectibility of receivables periodically taking into account payment history and industry conditions.

-13-

Valuation Allowance and Deferred Taxes

A valuation allowance is the portion of a deferred tax asset for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

As of November 30, 2016 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,046,000 expiring between 2017 and 2029 for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company routinely reviews the future realization of tax assets based on projected future reversals of taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. A valuation allowance has been established for $641,000 and $827,000 as of November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the deferred tax benefit related to those loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, that are more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2014-09 establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. The standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 for fiscal year ending November 30, 2019 and the Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance might have on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new standard for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 for fiscal year ending November 30, 2019 and the Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance might have on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

-14-

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-04, Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The amendments in the ASU are designed to provide guidance and eliminate diversity in the accounting for derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities. Typically, a prepaid stored-value product liability is to be derecognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. This is when the likelihood of the product holder exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. This estimate shall be updated at the end of each period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including the interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact the guidance will have on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which is intended to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including the interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements as of November 30, 2016 that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders and Board of Directors of BAB, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BAB, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. BAB, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BAB, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BAB, Inc

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2016 and 2015

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

BAB, Inc (“the Company”) has three wholly owned subsidiaries: BAB Systems, Inc. (“Systems”) and BAB Operations, Inc. (“Operations”) and BAB Investments, Inc. (“Investments”). Systems was incorporated on December 2, 1992, and was primarily established to franchise Big Apple Bagels® (“BAB”) specialty bagel retail stores. My Favorite Muffin (“MFM”) was acquired in 1997 and is included as a part of Systems. Brewster’s (“Brewster’s”) was established in 1996 and the coffee is sold in BAB and MFM locations. SweetDuet® (“SD”) frozen yogurt can be added as an additional brand in a BAB or MFM location. Operations was formed in 1995, primarily to operate Company-owned stores of which there are currently none. The assets of Jacobs Bros. Bagels (“Jacobs Bros.”) were acquired in 1999, and any branded wholesale business uses this trademark. Investments was incorporated in 2009 to be used for the purpose of acquisitions. To date there have been no acquisitions.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 2000. The Company currently franchises and licenses bagel and muffin retail units under the BAB, MFM and SD trade names. At November 30, 2016, the Company had 85 franchise units and 3 licensed units in operation in 23 states and one international location. There are 2 units under development. The Company additionally derives income from the sale of its trademark bagels, muffins and coffee through nontraditional channels of distribution including under licensing agreements with Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard and Green Beans Coffee. Also, included in licensing fees and other income is Operations Sign Shop results. For franchise consistency and convenience, the Sign Shop provides the majority of signage to franchisees, including but not limited to, posters, menu panels, build charts, outside window stickers and counter signs.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2016 and 2015

Note 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

The Company will recognize revenue upon a signed and completed franchise agreement for a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”). The revenue for a MFA is a nonrefundable fee and the amount of the fee is dependent on the area covered by the MFA. In addition there will be ongoing royalty fees as determined by the contract.

Big Apple Bagels®, SweetDuet Frozen Yogurt and Gourmet Muffins® and My Favorite Muffin® operating units, licensed units and unopened stores for which a Franchise Agreement has been executed, are as follows:

	2016		2015
Operating Units
Franchise Owned		85		84
Licensed Units		3		3
		88		87
Unopened stores with Franchise Agreements:		2		7
Total operating units and units with Franchise Agreements		90		94

License fees and other income primarily consist of license fees, Sign Shop revenues and defaulted and terminated franchise contract revenues. Revenue is recorded on an accrual basis. Actual amounts are used to record the majority of license fees although at times it is necessary to use estimates. Revenues and expenses recorded for the Sign Shop, as well as defaulted and terminated franchise contract revenue, are actual amounts.

Segments

Accounting standards have established annual reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s operations were a single reportable segment and an international segment. The international segment operations are immaterial.

A Marketing Fund has been established for BAB, MFM and SD. Franchised stores are required to contribute a fixed percentage of their net retail sales to the Marketing Fund. Liabilities for unexpended funds received from franchisees are included as a separate line item in accrued expenses and Marketing Fund cash accounts are included in restricted funds in the accompanying Balance Sheet. The Marketing Fund also derives revenues from rebates paid by certain vendors on the sale of BAB and MFM licensed products to franchisees.

Cash

As of November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Marketing Fund cash balances, which are restricted, were $599,000 and $421,000, respectively.

The FDIC maximum insurance on all interest and noninterest bearing checking accounts is $250,000 for each entity. The Company exceeded FDIC limits on its operating and marketing accounts but did not experience any losses.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

Receivables are carried at original invoice amount less estimates for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts and by using historical collection experience. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding 90 days past the due date. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received. Certain receivables have been converted to unsecured interest-bearing notes.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are 3 to 7 years for property and equipment and 10 years, or term of lease if less, for leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

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

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued)

The Company tests goodwill and trademarks that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill and trademarks were tested on February 28, 2016 and at the end of fiscal 2016, and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

The impairment test performed for fiscal 2016 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment was needed. An impairment test was performed at February 28, 2015 and based on the computations using discounted cash flows, it was also determined that no impairment occurred.

The net book value of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite and definite lives are as follows:

	Goodwill		Trademarks		Definite Lived Intangibles			Total

Net Balance as of November 30, 2014	$	1,493,771	$	454,479	$	35,187		$	1,983,437

Net Balance as of November 30, 2016	$	1,493,771	$	455,182	$	9,108		$	1,958,061

Definite lived intangible assets are being amortized over their useful lives and will be fully amortized at the end of fiscal 2017.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense was $41,000 and $57,000 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. All advertising and promotion costs were related to the Company’s franchise operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. In addition, a valuation allowance can be provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company files a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in various state jurisdictions. Review of the Company’s possible tax uncertainties as of November 30, 2016 did not result in any positions requiring disclosure. Should the Company need to record interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions or other tax authority assessments, it would classify such expenses as part of the income tax provision. The Company has not changed any of its tax policies or adopted any new tax positions during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016 and believes it has filed appropriate tax returns in all jurisdictions for which it has nexus.

The Company’s income tax returns for the years ending November 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed. (See Note 3.)

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) under ASC 260 “Earnings per Share.” Basic net earnings are divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year to calculate basic net earnings per common share. Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated to give effect to the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in the issuance of additional common shares.

Earnings Per Share (Continued)

At November 30, 2016, there are no unexercised options includable in the computation because all outstanding expired as of November 28, 2016. In 2015, there were 237,500 unexercised options that are not included in the computation of dilutive EPS because their impact would be antidilutive due to the market price of the common stock being lower than the option prices. In addition, the weighted average shares do not include any effects for potential shares related to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation cost using a fair-value based method for all share-based payments granted after November 30, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees up through November 30, 2006 that remain unvested at that time. The Company had no recorded compensation expense arising from share-based payment arrangements for the Company’s stock option plan in 2016 or 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion, approximate fair value based upon market prices for the same or similar instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which is intended to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including the interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

The Company routinely reviews the future realization of tax assets based on projected future reversals of taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. A valuation allowance has been established for $641,000 and $827,000 as of November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the deferred tax benefit related to those loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, that are more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2016 and 2015

On May 6, 2013 BAB Inc. adopted a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement (“Rights Plan”) and declared a dividend distribution of one right (equivalent to one one-thousandth of a preferred share), for each outstanding share of common stock. The Rights Plan is intended to protect BAB, Inc. and its stockholders from efforts to obtain control of BAB, Inc. that the Board of Directors determines are not in the best interest of BAB, Inc. and its stockholders. BAB, Inc. issued one Right for each current share of stock outstanding at the close of business on May 13, 2013. The rights will not be exercisable unless a person or group acquires 15% (20% institutional investors) or more of BAB, Inc.’s common stock (“trigger event”). Should a trigger event occur, each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.90 per one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The Rights will expire in three years from the date of declaration.

On June 18, 2014 an amendment to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement was filed appointing American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as successor to Illinois Stock Transfer Company. All original rights and provisions remain unchanged. On August 18, 2015 an amendment was filed to the Preferred Shares Rights Agreement changing the final expiration date to mean the fifth anniversary of the date of the original agreement. All other original rights and provisions remain the same.

Note 6 - Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (“Plan”). The Plan reserved 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant, all of which have been granted as of November 30, 2009. The Plan terminated on May 25, 2011. The Plan permitted granting of awards to employees and non-employee Directors and agents of the Company in the form of stock appreciation rights, stock awards and stock options. The Plan was administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors appointed by the Board. The Plan gave broad powers to the Board and Committee to administer and interpret the Plan, including the authority to select the individuals to be granted options and rights and to prescribe the particular form and conditions of each option or right granted.

Under the Plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The options granted vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period over five years. The options granted are exercisable within a 10 year period from the date of grant. All stock issued from the granted options must be held for one year from date of exercise. Options issued and outstanding expired on various dates through November 28, 2016. There are no options outstanding as of November 30, 2016.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s internal controls and procedures were effective over financial reporting as of November 30, 2016.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits personal liability for breach of fiduciary duty by its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law"). Such Certificate eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company and its shareholders for damages occasioned by breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability based on breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company, liability for acts or omissions not made in good faith, liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, liability based on payments or improper dividends, liability based on violation of state securities laws, and liability for acts occurring prior to the date such provision was added. Any amendment to or repeal of such provisions in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company for with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

In addition to the Delaware Law, the Company's Bylaws provide that officers and directors of the Company have the right to indemnification from the Company for liability arising out of certain actions to the fullest extent permissible by law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to such indemnification provisions, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth as of February 20, 2017 the record and beneficial ownership of Common Stock held by (i) each person who is known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Company; (ii) each current director; (iii) each "named executive officer" (as defined in Regulation S-B, Item 402 under the Securities Act of 1933); and (iv) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.

There are no transactions between the Company and related parties, including officers and directors of the Company. It is the Company's policy that it will not enter into any transactions with officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock, or any entity controlled by or under common control with any such person, on terms less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and all such transactions require the consent of the majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors.
