NOTE 14 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On March 12, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s fifth consecutive annual dividend.  This year the dividend is $0.60 per common share and is payable on June 4, 2008 to shareholders of record on May 6, 2008.

 

On February 29, 2008, Starlite Holdings, Inc. (“Starlite”), a newly formed, wholly-owned, independently capitalized subsidiary of Star Buffet, Inc. acquired certain assets and facility leases for four Barnhill’s Buffet restaurants from Barnhill’s Buffet, Inc. (“Barnhill’s”) for a purchase price of approximately $1,075,000.  Barnhill’s was in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District of Tennessee and the acquisition was approved by the court.  The acquired restaurants are located in Florida (2) and Mississippi (2) and as part of the acquisition the Company acquired perpetual rights to use the Barnhill’s name and related intellectual property.

 

On February 29, 2008 the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., increasing the term loan principal from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000. The Credit Facility was issued on January 31, 2008.The increase in the Credit Facility was used to fund the acquisition of the four Barnhill’s Buffet restaurants as described above.  The Credit Facility is guaranteed by Star Buffet’s subsidiaries and bears interest, at the Company’s option, at Wells Fargo’s base rate plus 0.25% or at LIBOR plus 2.00%.  The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected lien on all of the Company’s assets, except for those assets that are currently pledged as security for existing obligations, in which case Wells Fargo will have a second lien.  The term loan matures on January 31, 2012 and provides for principal to be amortized at $175,000 per quarter for the initial six quarters; $225,000 for the next nine quarters; with any remaining balance due at maturity.  Interest is payable monthly.  A $2,000,000 revolving line of credit matures on January 31, 2012.  Interest on the revolver is payable monthly.  As of April 11, 2008, no balance was outstanding on the revolving line of credit.  There is a 0.50% fee for the unused portion of the revolving line of credit.   In connection with the Credit Facility, Wells Fargo was granted 42,440 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.  The shares were valued at $252,094 and will be amortized over the life of the loan.  The Credit Facility can be prepaid in whole or part without penalty.

 

The Credit Facility contains a number of covenants and restrictions, including requirements to meet certain financial ratios and limitations with respect to the Company’s use of cash.  The Company’s quarterly financial covenants associated with this debt start May 19, 2008, the end our first quarter in fiscal 2009. The Company is required to obtain interest rate protection through an interest rate swap or cap arrangement with respect to not less than 50% of the term loan amount.  The Company has elected to not perform the necessary procedures in order to apply hedge accounting. Therefore, changes in the fair market value of the interest rate swap will be reflected as an adjustment to interest expense within the consolidated statement of operations. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Credit Facility require the Company to remit proceeds from asset dispositions, issuance of debt or equity, insurance proceeds, tax refunds and fifty percent (50%) of excess cash  flow (as defined) to reduce the principal amount of the term loan and, thereafter, the revolving line of credit.  Under terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is permitted to pay an annual dividend.  However, restrictions imposed under terms of the Credit Facility may adversely impact the Company’s ability to pay an annual dividend as the Company has historically relied on multiple sources of cash to fund the dividend.  As of the date of this report, the Company was in compliance with all of such requirements.

 

On January 31, 2008, Star Buffet Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star Buffet, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) acquired the assets and facility leases for sixteen (16) Barnhill’s Buffet restaurants from Barnhill’s Buffet, Inc. (“Barnhill’s”) for a purchase price of approximately $5 million.  The acquisition was approved by the court.  The acquired restaurants are located in the following states: Alabama (1), Arkansas (1), Florida (4), Louisiana (3), Mississippi (4), and Tennessee (3) and as part of the acquisition, the Company acquired perpetual rights to the use of the Barnhill’s name and related intellectual property.  This acquisition was funded through the Company’s Credit Facility dated January 31, 2008.
