LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2014, our cash balance was $245,828 and cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $1 million. As of March 31, 2015, our cash balance was approximately $3.2 million. The level of additional cash needed to fund operations and our ability to conduct business for the next twelve months will be influenced primarily by the following factors:

We have typically funded our operating costs, acquisition activities, working capital investments and capital expenditures with proceeds from the issuances of our common stock and other financing arrangements, including convertible debt, lines of credit, notes payable and capital leases.

In addition, our business is subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Our operating plans for 2015 contemplate moderate organic growth, opening 3-4 new stores within our current markets and restaurant concepts, as well as growing through the acquisition of additional restaurant businesses to expand our market scale. We completed a rights offering in March 2015 generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million and issued convertible debt and received another $2.2 million to fund the acquisition of The Burger Joint and for general corporate purposes. Also, in 2015 we closed on the acquisition of BGR The Burger Joint for a purchase price of $4,000,000 in cash and 500,000 shares of the company’s common stock. The acquisition has nine company owned stores and eleven franchise locations.

We are also in negotiations to extend and increase our $500,000 line of credit currently due May 2015, extend payment terms of our $5 million debt to defer payments until 2016, and are in discussion with an existing shareholder regarding an equity raise between $1-3 million. In January, a note holder converted to equity $500,000 of a note that was payable in less than a year.

As we execute our growth plans throughout the balance of 2015, we intend to carefully monitor the impact of growth on our working capital needs and cash balances relative to the availability of cost-effective debt and equity financing. We believe the capital resources available to us will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and to support our operating plans through December 31, 2015. We may raise additional capital from the issuance of new debt and equity during 2015 to continue to execute our growth plans, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. In the event that such capital is not available, we may have to scale back or freeze our store opening plans, reduce general and administrative expenses and/or curtail future acquisition plans to manage our liquidity and capital resources.
