We, Famous Dave's of America, Inc. (“Famous Dave's” or the “Company”), were incorporated in Minnesota on March 14, 1994. We develop, own, operate and franchise restaurants under the name "Famous Dave's". As of October 2, 2011, there were 184 Famous Dave's restaurants operating in 37 states, including 53 company-owned restaurants and 131 franchise-operated restaurants. An additional 71 franchise restaurants were committed to be developed through signed area development agreements as of October 2, 2011.
We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rules and Regulations. These unaudited financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of Famous Dave's and its subsidiaries as of October 2, 2011 and January 2, 2011 and for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010. The information furnished in these financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011 as filed with the SEC.
Due to the seasonality of our business, revenue and operating results for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year's presentation.
