Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity:

Preferred Stock – The Company has the authority to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The Board of Directors has the authority to issue such preferred shares in series and determine the rights and preferences of the shares as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

On March 28, 2014, Small Island Investments Limited converted all 355,451 shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, into 710,902 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.  The effects of the conversion were to eliminate the Company's payment of dividends on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and to eliminate the possible need for the Company to redeem the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for a cash payment.

Common Stock

Public Offering – On August 21, 2013 we completed a public offering of 2,200,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock (“A Warrants”) and additional warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our common stock (“B Warrants”) with a per unit purchase price of $2.50. One share of common stock was sold together with one A Warrant, with each A Warrant being exercisable on or before August 16, 2018 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, and together with one B Warrant, with two B Warrants being exercisable on or before May 16, 2014 for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Additionally we issued 330,000 A warrants to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock and 330,000 B warrants to purchase 165,000 of common stock to the underwriters in connection with the public offering with the same terms as the A and B warrants sold in the offering. Also in connection with the public offering we issued 154,000 representative warrants to purchase 154,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $3.125 to the underwriters. The representative warrants were exercisable beginning May 16, 2014 and expire on August 16, 2016.

In October 2014 the Company mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of the Company's A Warrants.  Each A Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at $2.75 per share until 5:00 p.m. Colorado Time on Friday, November 14, 2014.  Holders of the A Warrants are no longer entitled to exercise their warrants for common stock and have no rights, except to receive the redemption price of $.01 per A Warrant, upon surrender of their A Warrants.  No other warrants remain outstanding.

Common Stock Dividend Restrictions – As long as at least two-thirds of the shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock was converted remains held by the former holders of such converted Series B Preferred Stock, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of three-quarters of the then outstanding votes of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of the common stock, the Company cannot institute any payment of cash dividends or other distributions on any shares of common stock.

Stock Plans – The Company has an Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2008  Plan”), approved by shareholders in fiscal 2008, which is the successor equity compensation plan to the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001  Plan”).  Pursuant to stockholder approval in September 2012 and February 2014 the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan was increased to 1,000,000. As of September 30, 2014, 468,923 shares were available for future grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and stock-based awards.

The 2008 Plan serves as the successor to our 2001 Plan, as amended (the “Predecessor Plan”), and no further awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plan from and after the effective date of the 2008 Plan.  All outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the 2008 Plan shall be incorporated into the 2008 Plan and shall accordingly be treated as awards under the 2008 Plan.  However, each such award shall continue to be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the instrument evidencing such grant or issuance, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in the 2008 Plan or by the Committee that administers the 2008 Plan, no provision of the 2008 Plan shall affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of holders of such incorporated awards.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).

The Company recorded $162,000 and $171,000 in total stock option and restricted stock compensation expense during fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively that was classified as general and administrative costs.

Stock Option awards

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with stock option awards by estimating the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company's stock options and stock awards granted during fiscal 2014 and 2013. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted 89,500 incentive stock options from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with an exercise price of $2.48 and a per-share weighted average fair value of $2.12.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted a total of 47,000 non-statutory stock options from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with exercise prices ranging from $2.31 to $2.44 and per-share weighted average fair values ranging from $1.96 to $2.09. In addition the Company granted a total of 110,421 incentive stock options with an exercise price of $2.31 and a per-share weighted average fair values of $1.96.

In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the stock option awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table:

We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.

Issuances of securities are subject to federal and state securities laws.  Between May 21, 2014 and August 20, 2014, the Company issued 484,600 shares of common stock upon exercise by certain security holders holding A Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,332,650.  The Company issued these shares on the belief that the shares were registered pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, originally filed with and made effective by the SEC on August 15, 2013 (the Initial Registration Statement), and that the issuance did not require a new or updated registration statement.  The Company became aware that the SEC does not view the shares underlying warrants as being sold for securities law purposes until the warrants are exercised, and therefore it is the view of the SEC that the Company should have filed a post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement prior to issuing these shares.  The sale of these shares upon exercise of the A Warrants was therefore not made in compliance with federal and state securities laws because the prospectus did not meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.  Consequently, the holders of A Warrants who purchased such shares may seek to rescind the sale, in which case we could be liable for rescission payments to them in the amount of their aggregate original purchase price plus applicable interest.  As of the date hereof, we have not received any claims for rescission or damages or claims relating to any other liability stemming from our issuance of these shares.

In October 2014 the Company mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of the Company's A Warrants.  Each A Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at $2.75 per share until 5:00 p.m. Colorado Time on Friday, November 14, 2014.  Holders of the A Warrants are no longer entitled to exercise their warrants for common stock and have no rights, except to receive the redemption price of $.01 per A Warrant, upon surrender of their A Warrants.  No other warrants remain outstanding.

Non-controlling Interest - Drive Thru is currently the general partner of one limited partnership that was formed to develop Drive Thru restaurants and Drive Thru sold their limited partner interest in one restaurant in June 2010. Limited partner contributions have been used to construct new restaurants.  Drive Thru, as a general partner, generally receives an allocation of approximately 51% of the profit and losses and a fee for its management services.  The equity interest of the unrelated limited partner is shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders' equity section as a non-controlling interest and is adjusted each period to reflect the limited partner's share of the net income or loss as well as any cash distributions to the limited partner for the period. The limited partner's share of the net income or loss in the partnership is shown as non-controlling interest income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
