Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In the first quarter of 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus emerged and spread throughout the United States. The World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020. In response to the pandemic, the U.S. federal government and various state and local governments, among other things, imposed travel and business restrictions, including stay-at-home orders and other guidelines that required restaurants and bars to close or restrict inside dining. The pandemic resulted in significant, economic volatility, uncertainty and disruption, reduced commercial activity and weakened economic conditions in the regions in which the Company and its franchisees operate.

 

The pandemic and the governmental response had a significant adverse impact on the Company, due to, among other things, governmental restrictions, reduced customer traffic, staffing challenges and supply difficulties especially during the three-months ended September 30, 2021. All Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants are located in the State of Indiana. On March 16, 2020, by order of the Governor of the State of Indiana (the “Governor”), all restaurants within Indiana were ordered to close for inside dining. Due to the order, all Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants were open for carry-out only through April 30, 2020, primarily through the Company’s Pizza Valet system and third-party delivery providers. On May 1, 2020, the Governor issued another order allowing restaurants to be open for inside dining for up to 50% of capacity as of May 11, 2020, and on June 14, 2020 up to 75% of capacity, plus bars were allowed to open up to 50% of capacity, and on July 4, 2020 restaurants and bars were allowed to resume at 100% capacity. The Governor delayed the increase in capacity for a portion of the third quarter of 2020. Ultimately the Governor issued another order to allow 100% capacity for restaurants and bars but required certain social distancing rules which effectively limit capacity to much less than 100%. As the duration and scope of the pandemic is uncertain these orders are subject to further modification, which could adversely affect the Company. Further, the Company can provide no assurance the phase out of restrictions will have a positive effect on the Company’s business.

 

Many other states and municipalities in the United States also temporarily restricted travel and suspended the operation of dine-in restaurants and other businesses in light of COVID-19, which negatively affected our franchised operations. Host facilities for the Company’s non-traditional franchises were also affected by labor shortages which adversely impacted those developments and in turn slowed the sale of franchises. The uncertainty and disruption in the U.S. economy caused by the pandemic are likely to continue to adversely impact the volume and resources of potential franchisees for both the Company's Craft Pizza & Pub and non-traditional venues.

 

In 2020, in light of the additional uncertainty created as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company created an allowance for uncollectability on all long-term franchisee receivables. The Company will continue to pursue collection where circumstances are appropriate and all collections of these receivables in the future will result in additional royalty income at the time received.

   

On April 25, 2020, the Company received a loan of $715,000 under the PPP.  In accordance with the applicable accounting policy adopted, the Company accounted for the loan as a government grant and  presented it in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction of certain qualifying expenses incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.  The expenses included payroll costs and benefits, interest on mortgage obligations, rent under lease agreements and utilities and other qualifying expenses pursuant to the CARES ACT.  On February 19, 2021, the Company received formal notice from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") that the entire $715,000 loan was forgiven in accordance with the provisions of the CARES ACT.  On February 5, 2021, the Company received an additional loan of $940,734 under the PPP. In accordance with the applicable accounting policy adopted the Company accounted for the loan as a government grant and  presented it in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction of certain qualifying expenses incurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.  The expenses included payroll costs and benefits, interest on mortgage obligations, rent under lease agreements and utilities and other qualifying expenses pursuant to the CARES ACT. Because the 2020 PPP loan was applied against relevant expenses in the second quarter of 2020 and the 2021 PPP loan was applied against relevant expenses in the first quarter of 2021, the results of operations by quarter in 2020 and 2021 are of limited comparability.
