COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS (Continued) e. 11225 Miramar Parkway, #245, Miramar, Florida (“Big Daddy’s Wine and Liquors”) During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered into a Lease Agreement with a non-affiliated third party, (the “Landlord”) to rent approximately 2,000 square feet of commercial space for a retail package liquor store location in a shopping center at 11225 Miramar Parkway, #245, Miramar, Florida (Store #24), which shopping center was under construction. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we entered into an Architectural Professional Services Agreement with a third-party unaffiliated architect for design and development services for this, new location (Store #24) for a total contract price of $18,650, which contract price has been paid in full through October 2, 2021. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we received notification from the Landlord that it had completed substantially all of the Landlord’s work under the Lease Agreement and was delivering possession of the leased premises to us. Subsequent to the end of our fiscal year 2021, we entered into an agreement with a third party unaffiliated general contractor for interior renovations at this location totaling $317,000, of which none has been paid. Legal Matters Our sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to “dram shop” statutes, which allow an injured person to recover damages from an establishment that served alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person. If we receive a judgment substantially in excess of our insurance coverage or if we fail to maintain our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. We currently have no “dram shop” claims pending. We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of our business. It is our opinion, in consultation with legal counsel, that all such matters are without merit or involve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Leases To conduct certain of our operations, we lease restaurant and package liquor store space in South Florida from unrelated third parties. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 10 years, some of which include options to renew and extend the lease terms for up to an additional 30 years. We presently intend to exercise certain of the extension options available to us and for purposes of computing the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities required by ASC 842, we have incorporated into all lease terms which may be extended, an additional term of the lesser of (i) the amount of years the lease may be extended; or (ii) 15 years. Following adoption of ASC 842, common area maintenance and property taxes are not considered to be lease components. The components of lease expense are as follows:

Purchase Commitments In order to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for our restaurants, on November 9, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with our current rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $6,420,000 of baby back ribs during calendar year 2021 from this vendor at a fixed cost. During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we agreed to increase the fixed cost of the remaining baby back ribs for our calendar year 2021 by approximately $408,000 and our current rib supplier guaranteed adequate supply for our restaurants during calendar year 2022. In order to ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for our restaurants for calendar year 2022, on October 4, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement with our current rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $10,414,000 of baby back ribs during calendar year 2022 from this vendor at market cost. Our purchase agreement provides for the purchase of 2.25 & Down Baby Back Ribs, at a monthly cost of the average market price per pound of the prior 4 weeks. While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply from this vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if needed. F-31 Table of Contents NOTE 16.

Sales and purchases of fish are recognized in restaurant food sales and restaurant and lounges (cost of merchandise sold), respectively, in the consolidated statements of income at the time of sale to the restaurant. In addition, the 49% of FFC owned by the unrelated third party is recognized as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS (Continued) Franchise Program (Continued) Under the franchise agreements, we provide guidance, advice and management assistance to the franchisees. In addition and for an additional annual fee of approximately $25,000 each, we also act as fiscal agent for the franchisees whereby we collect all revenues and pay all expenses and distributions. We also, from time to time, advance funds on behalf of the franchisees for the cost of renovations. The resulting amounts receivable from and payable to these franchisees are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or a liability. We also agree to sponsor and manage cooperative buying groups on behalf of the franchisees for the purchase of inventory. The franchise agreements provide for royalties to us of approximately 3% of gross restaurant sales and 1% of gross package liquor sales. During our fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we earned royalties of $786,000 and $666,000, respectively, from our related franchises. We are not currently offering or accepting new franchises.

Management Agreements Deerfield Beach, Florida Since January 2006, we have managed “The Whale’s Rib”, a casual dining restaurant located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, pursuant to a management agreement. We paid $500,000 in exchange for our rights to manage this restaurant. The management agreement was amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the initial term of the agreement, ten (10) years. The restaurant is owned by a third party unaffiliated with us. In exchange for providing management, bookkeeping and related services, we receive one-half (½) of the net profit, if any, from the operation of the restaurant. During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2011, the term of the management agreement was extended through January 9, 2036. For the fiscal years ended October 2, 2021 and October 3, 2020, we generated $400,000 and $150,000 of revenue respectively, from providing these management services.
