CARROLS RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (Carrols Restaurant Group or the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrols Corporation (Carrols). Carrols Restaurant Group is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through Carrols and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, Carrols Restaurant Group, Carrols and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Carrols are collectively referred to as the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The difference between the consolidated financial statements of Carrols Restaurant Group and Carrols is primarily due to additional rent expense of approximately $6 per year for Carrols Restaurant Group and the composition of stockholders equity.
Business Description. At September 30, 2009 the Company operated, as franchisee, 314 quick-service restaurants under the trade name Burger King in 12 Northeastern, Midwestern and Southeastern states. At September 30, 2009, the Company also owned and operated 91 Pollo Tropical restaurants, of which 85 were located in Florida, four were in New Jersey and one each in New York and Connecticut, and franchised a total of 27 Pollo Tropical restaurants, 21 in Puerto Rico, two in Ecuador, one in the Bahamas and three on college campuses in Florida. At September 30, 2009, the Company owned and operated 155 Taco Cabana restaurants located primarily in Texas and franchised a total of four Taco Cabana restaurants, two in New Mexico, one in Texas and one in Georgia.
Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. All references herein to the fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 will be referred to as the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Similarly, all references herein to the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 will be referred to as the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 each contained 52 weeks and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 each contained thirteen and thirty-nine weeks, respectively.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 contained in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet data is derived from those audited financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
| Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. |
| Senior Subordinated Notes. The fair values of outstanding senior subordinated notes are based on quoted market prices. The fair values at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were approximately $165.0 million and $111.4 million, respectively. |
| Revolving and Term Loan Facilities. Rates and terms under Carrols senior credit facility are significantly favorable to debt with similar terms and maturities that could be potentially obtainable, if at all, at September 30, 2009. Given the lack of comparative information regarding such debt it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our existing borrowings under our senior credit facility at September 30, 2009. |
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported
6
CARROLS RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include: accrued occupancy costs, insurance liabilities, legal obligations, income taxes, evaluation for impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and Burger King franchise rights, lease accounting matters and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through November 4, 2009, the issuance date of the Companys financial statements. No subsequent events requiring disclosure were noted.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
As of September 30, 2009, the total non-vested stock-based compensation expense relating to the options and restricted shares was approximately $3.0 million and the Company expects to record an additional $0.4 million as compensation expense in 2009. At September 30, 2009, the remaining weighted average vesting period for stock options and restricted shares was 3.3 years and 1.6 years, respectively.
Stock Options
A summary of all option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:

(1) | The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the difference between the market price of the Companys common stock at September 30, 2009 and the grant price for only those awards that had a grant price that was less than the market price of the Companys common stock at September 30, 2009. |
3. Impairment and Other Lease Charges
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, for impairment at the restaurant level. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows for each restaurant is compared to the carrying value of that restaurants long-lived assets. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value in addition to any lease liabilities to be incurred for non-operating restaurants.

$ | 46 | $ | 53 | $ | 400 | $ | 155 | |||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company closed one Pollo Tropical restaurant property in Florida whose fixed assets were impaired in the fourth quarter of 2008, and recorded a charge of $0.3 million which principally consisted of future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of any estimated cost recoveries from subletting the property.
4. Goodwill and Franchise Rights
Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of December 31 and does not believe circumstances have changed since the last assessment date which would make it necessary to reassess their values. In performing its goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the net book values of its reporting units to their estimated fair values. In determining the estimated fair values of the reporting units, the Company employs a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market-based approach. The results of the discounted cash flow analyses are corroborated with other value indicators where available, such as comparable company earnings multiples and research analyst estimates. No impairment losses have been recognized as a result of these tests. Goodwill balances are summarized below:

Balance, September 30, 2009 |
$ | 56,307 | $ | 67,177 | $ | 1,450 | $ | 124,934 | ||||
Burger King Franchise Rights. Amounts allocated to franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining term of the acquired franchise agreements plus one twenty-year renewal period. The Company assesses the potential impairment of franchise rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows from the acquired restaurants is compared to the respective carrying value of franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded against franchise rights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Amortization expense related to Burger King franchise rights was $784 and $799 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense related to Burger King franchise rights was $2,352 and $2,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company estimates the amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2009 and for each of the five succeeding years to be $3,197.

Senior Credit Facility. On March 9, 2007, Carrols terminated and replaced its prior senior credit facility with a new senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. Carrols senior credit facility initially totaled approximately $185 million, consisting of $120 million principal amount of term loan A borrowings maturing on March 8, 2013 (or earlier on March 31, 2012 if the 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 are not refinanced by June 30, 2012) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (including a sub limit of up to $25.0 million for letters of credit and up to $5.0 million for swingline loans), maturing on March 8, 2012.
The term loan and revolving credit borrowings under the senior credit facility bear interest at a per annum rate, at Carrols option, of either:
1) the applicable margin percentage ranging from 0% to 0.25% based on Carrols senior leverage ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) plus the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the federal funds rate for that day plus 0.5%; or
2) Adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin percentage in effect ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on Carrols senior leverage ratio. At September 27, 2009 the LIBOR margin percentage was 1.0%.
At September 27, 2009, outstanding term loan borrowings under the senior credit facility were $111.0 million with the remaining balance due and payable as follows:
1) seven quarterly installments of $3.0 million beginning on September 30, 2009;
2) four quarterly installments of $4.5 million beginning on June 30, 2011; and
3) four quarterly installments of $18.0 million beginning on June 30, 2012.
After reserving $14.3 million for letters of credit guaranteed by the facility, $47.6 million was available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility at September 27, 2009.
Under the senior credit facility, Carrols is also required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on its term loan borrowings (a) annually in an initial amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow depending upon Carrols Total Leverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the senior credit facility), (b) in the event of certain dispositions of assets (all subject to certain exceptions) and insurance proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by Carrols therefrom, and (c) in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds from any subsequent issuance of debt. The senior credit facility contains customary default provisions as provided therein, including without limitation, a cross default provision pursuant to which it is an event of default under the senior credit facility if there is a default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any indebtedness of Carrols having an outstanding principal amount of at least $2.5 million (excluding lease financing obligations but which would include the Indenture governing the Notes, as defined below) or any event or condition which results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity.
In general, Carrols obligations under the senior credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and all of Carrols material subsidiaries and are collateralized by a pledge of Carrols common stock and the stock of each of Carrols material subsidiaries. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, including, without limitation, those limiting Carrols ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of its business, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, Carrols is required to meet certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage, senior leverage, and total leverage ratios (all as defined under the senior credit facility). Carrols was in compliance with the covenants under its senior credit facility as of September 30, 2009.

Senior Subordinated Notes. On December 15, 2004, Carrols issued $180 million of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the Notes). At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $165.0 million principal amount of the senior subordinated notes were outstanding. During 2008, Carrols repurchased and retired $15.0 million principal amount of the Notes in open market transactions for $10.4 million resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million, net of a $0.3 million write-off of deferred financing costs. Of these repurchases in 2008, $2.0 million was repurchased in the three months ended September 30, 2008 which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million.
Restrictive covenants under the Notes include limitations with respect to the Carrols ability to issue additional debt, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, pay dividends and make certain investments. The Indenture governing the Notes contains customary default provisions as provided therein, including without limitation, a cross default provision pursuant to which it is an event of default under the Notes and the Indenture if there is a default under any indebtedness of Carrols having an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more (which would include the senior credit facility) if such default results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or is caused by a failure to pay principal when due. Carrols was in compliance with the restrictive covenants in the Indenture governing the Notes as of September 30, 2009.
6. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was comprised of the following:

$ | 3,094 | $ | 2,136 | $ | 10,241 | $ | 4,829 | |||||||
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2009 of 37.3%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments reduced the provision for income taxes by $130 and $187 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2008 of 37.2%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments increased the provision for income taxes by $15 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and reduced the provision for income taxes by $97 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years 2006-2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. It is not possible to reasonably estimate any possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the uncertainties regarding the timing of any examinations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made contributions of $52 and $124 to its postretirement plan and expects to make additional contributions during 2009.
9. Lease Financing Obligations
The Company has previously entered into sale-leaseback transactions involving certain restaurant properties that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and as a result, were classified as financing transactions. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and proceeds received by the Company from these transactions are recorded as a financing liability. Payments under these leases are applied as payments of imputed interest and deemed principal on the underlying financing obligations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company settled $1.9 million of lease financing obligations which included a purchase from a lessor of one restaurant property previously subject to a lease financing obligation for $1.1 million and the settlement of the lease financing obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2009 for $0.8 million. The Company also modified provisions in two of its restaurant leases previously accounted for as lease financing obligations which allowed the respective sale transactions to qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and resulted in a reduction of lease financing obligations of $2.8 million. As a result of these transactions in 2009, lease financing obligations were reduced $4.0 million, assets under lease financing obligations were reduced by $2.1 million and deferred gains on qualified sale-leaseback transactions of $0.7 million were recorded.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company purchased from the lessor six restaurant properties for $5.5 million that were previously accounted for as lease financing obligations.
In late 2008, the Company also amended or modified certain lease provisions and terminated certain purchase options for certain restaurant leases previously accounted for as lease financing obligations. The changes permitted 24 leases to qualify as operating leases and the related sale-leaseback transactions to be recorded as sales, which removed all of the respective assets under lease financing obligations and related liabilities from the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The gains from these sales were generally deferred and are being amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the remaining term of the underlying leases.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
On November 16, 1998, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the Court), under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, against Carrols. The complaint alleged that Carrols engaged in a pattern and practice of unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation against former and current female employees. The EEOC identified approximately 450 individuals (which were subsequently increased to 511 individuals) that it believed represented the class of claimants and was seeking monetary and injunctive relief from Carrols. On April 20, 2005, the Court issued a decision and order granting Carrols Motion for Summary Judgment that Carrols filed in January 2004. Subject to possible appeal by the EEOC, the case is dismissed; however the Court noted that it was not ruling on the claims, if any, that individual employees might have against Carrols. On February 27, 2006, Carrols filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss all but between four and 17 of the individual claims. On July 10, 2006, in its response to that motion, the EEOC asserted that, notwithstanding the Courts dismissal of the case as a class action, the EEOC may still maintain some kind of collective action on behalf of these claimants. Oral argument before the Court was held on October 4, 2006 and the Company is awaiting the Courts decision on Carrols summary judgment motion. The Company does not believe that any individual claim, if any, would have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial statements. Although the Company believes that the EEOCs continued class litigation argument is without merit, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending motion.
The Company is a party to various other litigation matters incidental to the conduct of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
12. Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method.
The computation of diluted net income per share excludes options to purchase 1,036,992 shares of common stock in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and options to purchase 1,104,505 in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 because the exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the common shares in the periods and therefore, they were antidilutive. In addition, options to purchase 31,508 shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and options to purchase 51,098 of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as they were antidilutive under the treasury stock method.

15. Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2009, the FASB approved ASU 2009-01, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have been superseded by the ASC. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC has become nonauthoritative. The ASC did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The ASC is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacts the Companys financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the ASC. There have been no changes to the content of the Companys financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the ASC during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167). This statement is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The statement is effective on January 1, 2010 for companies reporting on a calendar year basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 167 on its financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). The purpose of this ASU is to clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. This guidance is effective upon issuance. This ASU had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

CARROLS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (Carrols Restaurant Group or the Parent Company). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The difference between the consolidated financial statements of Carrols Corporation and Carrols Restaurant Group is primarily due to additional rent expense of approximately $6 per year for Carrols Restaurant Group and the composition of stockholders equity.
Business Description. At September 30, 2009 the Company operated, as franchisee, 314 quick-service restaurants under the trade name Burger King in 12 Northeastern, Midwestern and Southeastern states. At September 30, 2009, the Company also owned and operated 91 Pollo Tropical restaurants, of which 85 were located in Florida, four were in New Jersey and one each in New York and Connecticut, and franchised a total of 27 Pollo Tropical restaurants, 21 in Puerto Rico, two in Ecuador, one in the Bahamas and three on college campuses in Florida. At September 30, 2009, the Company owned and operated 155 Taco Cabana restaurants located primarily in Texas and franchised a total of four Taco Cabana restaurants, two in New Mexico, one in Texas and one in Georgia.
Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. All references herein to the fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 will be referred to as the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Similarly, all references herein to the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 will be referred to as the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 each contained 52 weeks and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 each contained thirteen and thirty-nine weeks, respectively.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 contained in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet data is derived from those audited financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
| Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. |
| Senior Subordinated Notes. The fair values of outstanding senior subordinated notes are based on quoted market prices. The fair values at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were approximately $165.0 million and $111.4 million, respectively. |
| Revolving and Term Loan Facilities. Rates and terms under Carrols senior credit facility are significantly favorable to debt with similar terms and maturities that could be potentially obtainable, if at all, at September 30, 2009. Given the lack of comparative information regarding such debt it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our existing borrowings under our senior credit facility at September 30, 2009. |
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the 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 dates of the financial statements and
20
CARROLS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include: accrued occupancy costs, insurance liabilities, legal obligations, income taxes, evaluation for impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and Burger King franchise rights, lease accounting matters and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share Presentation. Presentation of earnings per share is required for all entities that have issued common stock or potential common stock if those securities trade in a public market either on a stock exchange (domestic or foreign) or in the over-the-counter market. The Companys common stock is not publicly traded and therefore, earnings per share amounts are not presented.
Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through November 4, 2009, the issuance date of the Companys financial statements. No subsequent events requiring disclosure were noted.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
As of September 30, 2009, the total non-vested stock-based compensation expense relating to the options and restricted shares was approximately $3.0 million and the Company expects to record an additional $0.4 million as compensation expense in 2009. At September 30, 2009 the remaining weighted average vesting period for stock options and restricted shares was 3.3 years and 1.6 years, respectively.
Stock Options
A summary of all option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:

Options exercisable at September 30, 2009 |
779,628 | $ | 12.85 | 4.5 | $ | | |||||
(1) | The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the difference between the market price of Carrols Restaurant Groups common stock at September 30, 2009 and the grant price for only those awards that had a grant price that was less than the market price of Carrols Restaurant Groups common stock at September 30, 2009. |
3. Impairment and Other Lease Charges
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, for impairment at the restaurant level. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows for each restaurant is compared to the carrying value of that restaurants long-lived assets. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value in addition to any lease liabilities to be incurred for non-operating restaurants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company closed one Pollo Tropical restaurant property in Florida whose fixed assets were impaired in the fourth quarter of 2008, and recorded a charge of $0.3 million which principally consisted of future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of any estimated cost recoveries from subletting the property.
4. Goodwill and Franchise Rights
Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of December 31 and does not believe circumstances have changed since the last assessment date which would make it necessary to reassess their values. In performing its goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the net book values of its reporting units to their estimated fair values. In determining the estimated fair values of the reporting units, the Company employs a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market-based approach. The results of the discounted cash flow analyses are corroborated with other value indicators where available, such as comparable company earnings multiples and research analyst estimates. No impairment losses have been recognized as a result of these tests. Goodwill balances are summarized below:

Balance, September 30, 2009 |
$ | 56,307 | $ | 67,177 | $ | 1,450 | $ | 124,934 | ||||
Burger King Franchise Rights. Amounts allocated to franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining term of the acquired franchise agreements plus one twenty-year renewal period. The Company assesses the potential impairment of franchise rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows from the acquired restaurants is compared to the respective carrying value of franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded against franchise rights for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Amortization expense related to Burger King franchise rights was $784 and $799 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense related to Burger King franchise rights was $2,352 and $2,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2009 and for each of the five succeeding years is $3,197.

Senior Credit Facility. On March 9, 2007, the Company terminated and replaced its prior senior credit facility with a new senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The Companys credit facility totals approximately $185 million, consisting of $120 million principal amount of term loan A borrowings maturing on March 8, 2013 (or earlier on March 30, 2012 if the 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 are not refinanced by June 30, 2012) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (including a sub limit of up to $25.0 million for letters of credit and up to $5.0 million for swingline loans), maturing on March 8, 2012.
The term loan and revolving credit borrowings under the senior credit facility bear interest at a per annum rate, at the Companys option, of either:
1) the applicable margin percentage ranging from 0% to 0.25% based on the Companys senior leverage ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) plus the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the federal funds rate for that day plus 0.5%; or
2) Adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin percentage in effect ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on the Companys senior leverage ratio. At September 27, 2009 the LIBOR margin percentage was 1.0%.
At September 27, 2009, outstanding term loan borrowings under the senior credit facility were $111.0 million with the remaining balance due and payable as follows:
1) seven quarterly installments of $3.0 million beginning on September 30, 2009;
2) four quarterly installments of $4.5 million beginning on June 30, 2011; and
3) four quarterly installments of $18.0 million beginning on June 30, 2012.
After reserving $14.3 million for letters of credit guaranteed by the facility, $47.6 million was available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility at September 27, 2009.
Under the senior credit facility, the Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on its term loan borrowings (a) annually in an initial amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow depending upon the Companys Total Leverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the senior credit facility), (b) in the event of certain dispositions of assets (all subject to certain exceptions) and insurance proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company therefrom, and (c) in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds from any subsequent issuance of debt. The senior credit facility contains customary default provisions as provided therein, including without limitation, a cross default provision pursuant to which it is an event of default under the senior credit facility if there is a default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any indebtedness of the Company having an outstanding principal amount of at least $2.5 million (excluding lease financing obligations but which would include the Indenture governing the Notes, as defined below) or any event or condition which results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity.
In general, the Companys obligations under the senior credit facility are guaranteed by Carrols Restaurant Group and all of the Companys material subsidiaries and are collateralized by a pledge of the Companys common stock and the stock of each of the Companys material subsidiaries. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, including, without limitation, those limiting the Companys ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of its business, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Company is required to meet certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage, senior leverage, and total leverage ratios (all as defined under the senior credit facility). The Company was in compliance with the covenants under its new senior credit facility as of September 30, 2009.

(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Senior Subordinated Notes. On December 15, 2004, the Company issued $180 million of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the Notes). At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $165.0 million principal amount of the senior subordinated notes were outstanding. During 2008, the Company repurchased and retired $15.0 million principal amount of the Notes in open market transactions for $10.4 million resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million, net of a $0.3 million write-off of deferred financing costs. Of these repurchases in 2008, $2.0 million was repurchased in the three months ended September 30, 2008 which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million.
Restrictive covenants under the Notes include limitations with respect to the Companys ability to issue additional debt, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, pay dividends and make certain investments. The Indenture governing the Notes contains customary default provisions as provided therein, including without limitation, a cross default provision pursuant to which it is an event of default under the Notes and the Indenture if there is a default under any indebtedness of the Company having an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more (which would include the senior credit facility) if such default results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or is caused by a failure to pay principal when due. The Company was in compliance with the restrictive covenants in the Indenture governing the Notes as of September 30, 2009.
6. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was comprised of the following:

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2009 of 37.3%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments reduced the provision for income taxes by $130 and $187 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2008 of 37.2%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments increased the provision for income taxes by $15 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and reduced the provision for income taxes by $97 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years 2006-2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. It is not possible to reasonably estimate any possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the uncertainties regarding the timing of any examinations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made contributions of $52 and $124 to its postretirement plan and expects to make additional contributions during 2009.
9. Lease Financing Obligations
The Company has previously entered into sale-leaseback transactions involving certain restaurant properties that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and as a result, were classified as financing transactions. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and proceeds received by the Company from these transactions are recorded as a financing liability. Payments under these leases are applied as payments of imputed interest and deemed principal on the underlying financing obligations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company settled $1.9 million of lease financing obligations which included a purchase from a lessor one of one restaurant property previously subject to a lease financing obligation for $1.1 million and the settlement of the lease financing obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2009 for $0.8 million. The Company also modified provisions in two of its restaurant leases previously accounted for as lease financing obligations which allowed the respective sale transactions to qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and resulted in a reduction of lease financing obligations of $2.8 million. As a result of these transactions in the second quarter of 2009, lease financing obligations were reduced $4.0 million, assets under lease financing obligations were reduced by $2.1 million and deferred gains on qualified sale-leaseback transactions of $0.7 million were recorded.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company purchased from the lessor six restaurant properties for $5.5 million that were previously accounted for as lease financing obligations.
In late 2008, the Company also amended or modified certain lease provisions and terminated certain purchase options, for certain restaurant leases previously accounted for as lease financing obligations. The changes permitted 24 leases to qualify as operating leases and the related sale-leaseback transactions to be recorded as sales, which removed all of the respective assets under lease financing obligations and related liabilities from the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The gains from these sales were generally deferred and are being amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the remaining term of the underlying leases.

(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Interest expense associated with lease financing obligations, including settlement gains and losses, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
10. Business Segment Information
The Company is engaged in the quick-service and quick-casual restaurant industry, with three restaurant concepts: Burger King operating as a franchisee and Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana, both Company-owned concepts. The Companys Burger King restaurants are all located in the United States, primarily in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. Pollo Tropical is a quick-casual restaurant chain featuring grilled marinated chicken and Caribbean style made from scratch side dishes. Pollo Tropicals restaurants are primarily located in south and central Florida. Taco Cabana is a quick-casual restaurant chain featuring fresh Mexican style food, including flame-grilled beef and chicken fajitas, quesadillas and other Tex-Mex dishes. Taco Cabanas restaurants are primarily located in Texas.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The following table includes Segment EBITDA, which is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to the applicable segment before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, stock-based compensation expense, other income and expense and gains and losses on extinguishment of debt.
The Other column includes corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments, including stock-based compensation expense. Other identifiable assets consist primarily of cash, certain other assets, corporate property and equipment, including restaurant information systems expenditures, goodwill and deferred income taxes.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
On November 16, 1998, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the Court), under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, against the Company. The complaint alleged that the Company engaged in a pattern and practice of unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation against former and current female employees. The EEOC identified approximately 450 individuals (which were subsequently increased to 511 individuals) that it believed represented the class of claimants and was seeking monetary and injunctive relief from the Company. On April 20, 2005, the Court issued a decision and order granting the Companys Motion for Summary Judgment that the Company filed in January 2004. Subject to possible appeal by the EEOC, the case is dismissed; however the Court noted that it was not ruling on the claims, if any, that individual employees might have against the Company. On February 27, 2006, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss all but between four and 17 of the individual claims. On July 10, 2006, in its response to that motion, the EEOC asserted that, notwithstanding the Courts dismissal of the case as a class action, the EEOC may still maintain some kind of collective action on behalf of these claimants. Oral argument before the Court was held on October 4, 2006 and the Company is awaiting the Courts decision on the Company summary judgment motion. The Company does not believe that any individual claim, if any, would have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial statements. Although the Company believes that the EEOCs continued class litigation argument is without merit, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending motion.
The Company is a party to various other litigation matters incidental to the conduct of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company also recorded a gain of $0.6 million related to an insurance recovery for damages to Taco Cabana restaurants during Hurricane Ike. The Company recorded a gain of $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related to the sale of a Taco Cabana property.
14. Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2009, the FASB approved ASU 2009-01, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have been superseded by the ASC. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC has become nonauthoritative. The ASC did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The ASC is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacts the Companys financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the ASC. There have been no changes to the content of the Companys financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the ASC during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167). This statement is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The statement is effective on January 1, 2010 for companies reporting on a calendar year basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 167 on its financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). The purpose of this ASU is to clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. This guidance is effective upon issuance. This ASU had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

15. Guarantor Financial Statements
The Companys obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed in full on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of the Companys subsidiaries (Guarantor Subsidiaries), all of which are directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Company. These subsidiaries are:
Cabana Beverages, Inc.
Cabana Bevco LLC
Carrols LLC
Carrols Realty Holdings Corp.
Carrols Realty I Corp.
Carrols Realty II Corp.
Carrols J.G. Corp.
Quanta Advertising Corp.

TC Bevco LLC
T.C. Management, Inc.
TC Lease Holdings III, V and VI, Inc.

Texas Taco Cabana, L.P.
TPAQ Holding Corporation
The following supplemental financial information sets forth on a consolidating basis, balance sheets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 for the Parent Company only, Guarantor Subsidiaries and for the Company and the related statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
At the beginning of the third quarter of 2008 assets and liabilities related to the Companys Burger King restaurant operations were transferred to Carrols LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. Carrols LLC became a Guarantor Subsidiary at that time and its results of operations and cash flows are included with the Companys other Guarantor Subsidiaries for all periods presented.
For certain of the Companys sale-leaseback transactions, the Parent Company has guaranteed on an unsecured basis the rental payments of its subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC 840-40-25-16, Sale-Leaseback Transactions, the Company has included in the following guarantor financial statements amounts pertaining to these leases as if they were accounted for as financing transactions of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. These adjustments are eliminated in consolidation.
For purposes of the guarantor financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries determine the applicable tax provision for each entity generally using the separate return method. Under this method, current and deferred taxes are allocated to each reporting entity as if it were to file a separate tax return. The rules followed by the reporting entity in computing its tax obligation or refund, including the effects of the alternative minimum tax, would be the same as those followed in filing a separate return with the Internal Revenue Service. However, for purposes of evaluating an entitys ability to realize its tax attributes, the Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized at the consolidated level. Any differences in the total of the income tax provision for the Parent Company only and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, as calculated on the separate return method and the consolidated income tax provision are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides some administrative support to its subsidiaries related to executive management, information systems and certain accounting, legal and other administrative functions. For purposes of the guarantor financial statements, the Company allocates such corporate costs on a specific identification basis, where applicable, or based on revenues or the number of restaurants for each subsidiary. Management believes that these allocations are reasonable based on the nature of costs incurred.
