1. Description of Business and Organization

BurgerFi International, Inc. (“BurgerFi,” the “Company,” or “Successor,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”), is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 119 franchised and corporate owned restaurants, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium burger experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries and onion rings, shakes, beer, wine and more. BurgerFi has become the go-to better burger restaurant for good times and high-quality food across the United States and beyond. Known for delivering the all-natural burger experience in a fast-casual environment, BurgerFi is committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that promises fresh food of transparent quality.

On December 16, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, formerly known as Opes Acquisition Corp. (“Opes,” a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”), consummated a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which it acquired the private operating company formerly called BurgerFi International, LLC (“Predecessor”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name to BurgerFi International, Inc. The financial results described herein for the dates and periods prior to the Business Combination relate to the operations of the Predecessor prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Consolidated Financial Statements after the Closing Date include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including the Predecessor.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. When necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The historical financial information of Opes has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a user of the financial statements. SPACs deposit the proceeds from their initial public offerings into a segregated trust account until a business combination occurs, where such funds are then used to pay consideration for the acquiree and/or to pay stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with the business combination. The operations of a SPAC, until the closing of a business combination, other than income from the trust account investments and transaction expenses, are nominal. Accordingly, no other activity in the Company was reported for periods prior to December 16, 2020 besides BurgerFi’s operations as Predecessor.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Corporate owned stores and Franchising

BurgerFi has prepared its Franchise Disclosure Document as required by the United States Federal Trade Commission and has registered or will register in those states where required in order to legally sell its franchises. It is currently BurgerFi’s plan to offer franchises for sale in those states where demographics of the population represent a demand for the services. BurgerFi grants franchises to independent operators who in turn pay an initial franchise fee, royalties and other fees as stated in the franchise agreement.

Store activity for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our corporate restaurants are located. The Company first began to experience impacts from COVID-19 around the middle of March 2020, as federal, state and local governments began to react to the public health crisis by encouraging or requiring social distancing, instituting stay-at-home orders, and requiring, in varying degrees, restaurant dine-in limitations, capacity limitations or other restrictions that largely limited restaurants to take-out, drive-thru and delivery sales. As a result of the required changes to consumer behavior to largely off-premises dining, as well as promotional activities associated with delivery, the Company experienced some recovery in sales at the end of the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s most significant declines in sales were in late March 2020 through the third week in April 2020. The Company experienced steady recovery in the business during the period ended June 30, 2021. However, it is possible that further outbreaks could limit our recovery. The Company continues to monitor the spread of new variants, including the pandemic’s recent emergence of the Delta variant, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date and has resulted in an increase in cases in the United States and globally. As cases rise, mask mandates, social-distancing, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders could be reinstated. The impact of the Delta variant cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta variant and the response by governmental bodies and regulators. An extended period of economic disruption could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and overall financial condition.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) as part of its Simplification Initiative. This guidance provides amendments to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

7

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and disclose certain information about the leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. As an emerging growth company, this guidance will be effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”) in June 2016, subsequently amended by various standard updates. This guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information when determining credit loss estimates and requires financial assets to be measured net of expected credit losses at the time of initial recognition. As an emerging growth company, this guidance will be effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents. If the Company reports a loss, rather than income, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company has considered the effect of (1) warrants outstanding to purchase 15,063,900 shares of common stock (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, and (3) 2,210,100 shares underlying grants of restricted stock units in the calculation of income per share.

The historical partnership equity structure of BurgerFi did not include outstanding member units and as such, earnings per share information is omitted for the Predecessor periods.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

3. Property & Equipment

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation expense for the Successor period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $350,000 and $655,000, respectively. Depreciation expense for the Predecessor period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $249,000 and $486,000, respectively. In conjunction with the Business Combination, the basis of all property and equipment was recognized at fair value in purchase accounting.

Included within Leasehold improvements is approximately $2,165,000 and $103,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 related to construction in progress. Such amounts are not depreciated until placed into service.

4. Intangible Assets

The following is a summary of the components of intangible assets and the related accumulated amortization.:

Liquor license is considered to have an indefinite life and is reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairments were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Amortization expense for the Successor period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,821,000 and $3,624,000, respectively. Included within amortization expense is $7,500 and $15,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the amortization of lease acquisition costs. The intangible assets for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 were determined to be indefinite life intangibles. As such, no amortization expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets over the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter is as follows:

5. Business Combinations

On December 16, 2020, the Company consummated the Business Combination. This acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill. The aggregate value of the consideration paid by Opes in the Business Combination was approximately $236.9 million which included a) a cash payment of $30,000,000, b) the issuance of 6,603,773 common stock shares valued at approximately $103,680,000, and c) contingent earnout consideration (Contingent Consideration) valued at approximately $103,207,000.

The former members of BurgerFi may be entitled to additional shares of Common Stock if certain stock price targets are met by the Company (“Earnout Share Consideration”) on a pro-rata basis based on their pre-closing ownership percentages subject to the Company achieving certain share price targets through December 15, 2023. No such price targets were achieved during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The allocation of the excess purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to revision when the Company receives final information. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, become available, but will not exceed twelve months from the date of acquisition. 

The following table represents changes to goodwill from the initial purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2021:

Adjustments to goodwill during the period ended June 30, 2021 were made to reflect the facts and circumstances in existence as of the Business Combination date and include updates to estimates of provisional amounts recorded as of the Business Combination date. The adjustments primarily related to updating the fair value recorded for a provisional estimate of lease guarantees provided by the Company. See Note 6. The adjustment resulted in an increase to goodwill and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

6. Variable Interest Entities

The Company has evaluated its business relationships with franchisees to identify potential variable interest entities (“VIEs”). While the Company holds a variable interest in some of the franchised restaurants owned by an affiliated entity, the Company is not the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities of these franchised restaurants. As a result, the Company does not consolidate those VIEs.

The Company is a guarantor for six operating leases for those affiliated entities and an unrelated party. The Company may become responsible for the payments under its guarantee. The Company has determined that its maximum exposure to loss on the VIEs that it is not the primary beneficiary on that results from the lease guarantees amounts to approximately $5,847,000.

The Company recognized a liability of $3,306,000 for the estimated fair value of the lease guarantee as a provisional measurement period adjustment. The amount recorded represents the present value of estimated probable future payments for which the Company may be liable. Such amount has been included in other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.  

On April 23, 2018 (the “Takeover Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase and management agreement (the “APM”) with a multiple unit franchisee. The Company had evaluated the franchisee which is a party to the APM for VIE accounting under ASC 810

10

“Consolidation” and had determined that the franchisee under the APM was a VIE and that the Company was the primary beneficiary, effective on the Takeover Date.

During 2020, the Company negotiated a release of the lien from the banks on the equipment in these restaurants and was able to have the leases on the restaurants assigned to BurgerFi and on December 31, 2020, BurgerFi discontinued the management of the two restaurants by termination of the APM and the franchise agreements. As a result of the discontinuation and termination of the APM, the franchisee was deconsolidated on December 31, 2020.

Net sales for the consolidated VIE for the for the Predecessor period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $831,000 and $1,696,000, respectively. Net loss and net income for the consolidated VIE for the Predecessor period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, were $3,000 and $22,000, respectively.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company is affiliated with various entities through a significant shareholder. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect amounts related to periodic advances between the Company and these entities for working capital and other needs as due from related companies or due to related companies, as appropriate. The amounts due from related companies are not expected to be repaid within one year and accordingly, are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These advances are unsecured and non-interest bearing.

There were approximately $94,000 and $74,000 included as due from related companies in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no amounts due to related companies as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

For the Successor period, for the three and six months ended due June 30, 2021, the Company received royalty revenue from franchisees related to a significant shareholder totaling approximately $191,000 and $288,000, respectively. For the Predecessor period, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received royalty revenue from franchisees related to a significant shareholder totaling approximately $182,000 and $291,000, respectively.

The Company leases building space for its corporate office from an entity related to a significant shareholder. This lease has a 36 month term, effective January 1, 2020. For the Successor period, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, rent expense was approximately $56,000 and $112,000, respectively. For the Predecessor period, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, rent expense was $40,000 and $80,000, respectively.  

The Company leases building space for a restaurant located in Virginia from an entity (i) in which our Executive Chairman of the Board has a minority ownership interest, and (ii) which is managed by an entity in which our Executive Chairman has an indirect ownership interest. This lease, entered into on October 21, 2020, is for a 10-year term effective on the earlier to occur of the date the tenant opened for business and 180 days from the date the landlord delivered possession of the premises to the tenant.

In April 2021, the Company entered into an independent contractor agreement with a corporation (the “Consultant”) for which the Chief Operating Officer of Lionheart Capital, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, serves as President. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Consultant shall provide certain strategic advisory services to the Company in exchange for total annual cash compensation and expense reimbursements of $100,000, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly payments beginning in April 2021. The Consultant has also received an additional $29,166 of cash compensation for services provided in April 2021. Also, the Consultant received an award of 50,000 restricted stock units, which shall vest in five equal annual installments, subject to the Company achieving certain annual revenue targets starting in 2021.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has entered into operating leases for its corporate headquarters and company owned and operated restaurants. For the Successor period, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, rent expense under these leases was approximately $891,000 and $1,732,000, respectively. For the Predecessor period, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, rent expense for these leases was approximately $689,000 and $1,316,000, respectively. These lease agreements expire on various dates through 2031 and have renewal options. Approximate future minimum payments on these operating leases as of June 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

Sale Commitment

In February 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale of substantially all of the assets used in connection with the operation of BF Dania Beach, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $1,299,000. During January 2020 to April 2020, the Company received three cash deposits totaling $906,500 in connection with this transaction. The closing of this transaction has been delayed due additional negotiation that has been on-going through the filing date of this report. In the event the transaction is terminated, the Company will begin operating the restaurant, and return the $906,500 to the unrelated third-party purchaser. Assets used in the operations of BF Dania Beach, LLC totaling $732,000 have been classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

Contingencies

BurgerFi International, LLC filed a lawsuit against a franchisee and its principals seeking declaratory judgments and damages in an amount to be proven at trial for various breaches of the applicable franchise agreements resulting from the defendants’ closure of a restaurant, their failure to open a second restaurant, and their operational defaults at the closed restaurant. In April 2016, the defendants filed a counterclaim, asserting that they had no responsibility for their losses, and instead, alleged that the Company engaged in breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, conversion in connection with the operation of the restaurant, and various other allegations, seeking damages of over $5 million. The case is pending before the court. On December 30, 2016, the court stayed the case pending the resolution of bankruptcy filings made by some of the defendants. No further action has occurred. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action at this time. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and accordingly has not accrued any liability associated with this action. The Company does not believe this claim will result in a material unfavorable outcome.

On December 1, 2019, a complaint was filed by a former officer of the Company (“Plaintiff”) against BurgerFi International, LLC for certain alleged breaches of an employment agreement. BurgerFi International, LLC filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on February 13, 2020. On May 20, 2020, the motion to dismiss was heard being granted in part and denied in part. The portion of the complaint not dismissed was answered by BurgerFi International, LLC with affirmative defenses raised on July 7, 2020. Plaintiff served various discovery requests (including notices of non-party subpoenas) on July 9, 2020 as well as a motion to strike BurgerFi International, LLC’s affirmative defenses on July 16, 2020. BurgerFi International, LLC filed objections to the non-party subpoenas on July 20, 2020. On September 11, 2020, a motion to dismiss was heard by the court and certain claims were dismissed. The complaint now involves claims for alleged Breach of Contract (Count I) and alleged Action for Equitable Relief Including an Accounting and Constructive Lien (Count II). Mediation was held on June 15, 2021, but the parties were not able to come to an agreement. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action at this time. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and accordingly has not accrued any liability associated with this action. The Company does not believe this claim will result in a material unfavorable outcome.

On July 8, 2020, the Company received a letter from an attorney hired on behalf of a former employee of the Company. This former employee was terminated for cause on May 5, 2020. This letter claims that the former employee was terminated wrongfully by the Company. The Company has reported the claim to its insurance carrier and outside counsel has been retained. Our counsel sent a letter to this former employee’s attorney denying all claims and the parties met for mediation on September 4, 2020 but were unable to resolve this matter. On June 28, 2021, the Company was advised that this former employee filed suit, and on August 2, 2021, the

12

Company accepted service of this lawsuit. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action at this time. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and accordingly has not accrued any liability associated with this action. The Company does not believe this claim will result in a material unfavorable outcome.

On March 22, 2021, the Company received a letter from an attorney representing the franchisee that is in the process of purchasing a BurgerFi restaurant. The letter was sent in response to the Company’s demand letter to the franchisee requesting that he pays the balance of the purchase price and execute the franchise agreement that permits the operation of the restaurant. The franchisee has refused to do both and is now claiming that the purchase price was verbally lowered. In addition, the franchisee attorney’s letter claims that the Company owes his client monies resulting from the franchisees’ purchase of equipment in reliance on the Company’s supposed verbal representation to use the franchisees’ marketing services. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action at this time. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and accordingly has not accrued any liability associated with this action. The Company does not believe this claim will result in a material unfavorable outcome.

In June 2021, the Company received a letter from a shareholder claiming a breach of a registration rights agreement.  The shareholder claims that the Company violated the terms of the agreement and that this caused it to incur damages, including lost profits. The Company has denied any breach or liability. The Company intends to defend the case vigorously if a resolution cannot be reached and the shareholder initiates litigation. At this preliminary stage, it is difficult to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, and accordingly the Company has not accrued any liability associated with this action.  

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise during the normal course of business. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Line of Credit

The Company had a revolving line of credit agreement (“LOC”) of $5,000,000 with a maturity date of July 13, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the revolving line credit was $3,012,000. In January 2021, the Company terminated the LOC and paid the total amount due of $3,012,000. The annual interest on advances under the LOC was equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating rate plus 0.75%.

11. Notes Payable

Notes Payable (in thousands)

On May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $2,237,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, all PPP loans amounting to $2,237,000 were forgiven by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The SBA may undertake a review of a loan of any size during the six‐year period following forgiveness of the loan, however loans in excess of $2 million are subject to a mandatory audit. The audit will include the loan forgiveness application, as well as whether the Company met the eligibility requirements of the program and received the proper loan amount. The timing and outcome of any SBA review is not known.

The installment note payable relates to a note payable to an individual, issued in connection with the Company’s April 2020 acquisition of a franchised restaurant, monthly payments of $9,000 over a seven-year amortization including 7% interest, with a maturity date of June 1, 2024. The Other notes payable relates to an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and is primarily for one corporate owned restaurant.

As noted in Note 5, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded certain adjustments to goodwill in the amount of $3,825,000 to update the estimates of provisional amounts recorded as of the Business Combination date.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 17,838,476 shares and 17,541,838 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants and Options

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had the following warrants and options outstanding:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company exchanged 675,000 UPO units for 283,669 common shares in a cashless exercise and issued 7,969 shares in cashless warrant exercises.

Warrant Liability

The Company has certain warrants which include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, with changes in fair value included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The liability classified warrants were priced using a Dynamic Black Scholes model. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price, risk free interest rate and volatility assumptions. The warrant liability was $8,843,000 and $16,516,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in value of warrant liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $12,619,000, and $7,673,000, respectively and is recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no warrants outstanding in the Predecessor period.

The following is an analysis of changes in the warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $10.00 on June 30, 2021 and $13.69 on December 31, 2020. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period.

The fair value of private share warrants for the Successor period were estimated using a Dynamic Black Sholes model. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price, risk free interest rate and volatility assumptions. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $2.46 and $4.60 on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The input variables for the Black Scholes are noted in the table below:

14. Share-based Compensation

The Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance compensation awards to current or prospective employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors under the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

 Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes activity of Restricted Stock Units during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

The grant date fair value of Restricted Stock Units that vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2,595,000 and $3,117,000, respectively, net of forfeitures. As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $30,047,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units or performance stock awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4-5 years.

The unrecognized portion of share-based compensation for unvested Market Condition restricted stock units (included in above) is approximately $2,649,000 over 2.60 years. As detailed below, the fair value of the Market Condition restricted stock units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Performance Shares

The Company grants performance-based awards to certain officers and key employees and a consultant. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon meeting one or more defined operational or financial goals (a performance condition) or common stock share prices (a market condition).

The fair values of the performance condition awards granted were determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense recorded for performance condition awards is re-evaluated at each reporting period based on the probability of the achievement of the goal. The achievement of certain goals was deemed probable as of June 30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of approximately $1,194,000 in relation to these awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The fair value of market condition awards granted were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the market conditions will be achieved and is applied to the trading price of our common stock on the date of grant.

15

The input variables are noted in the table below:

Share-based compensation expense is recorded ratably for market condition awards during the requisite service period and is not reversed, except for forfeitures, at the vesting date regardless of whether the market condition is met. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, $1,155,000, and $1,403,000, respectively, representing a fair value of $10.76 per share, was recognized ratably as share-based compensation expense for the market condition awards.

Service Condition Shares

The Company grants service-based awards to certain officers and key employees and a consultant. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon meeting the requisite service period.

The fair value of restricted stock unit awards is determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of restricted unit awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period.

The following table summarizes activity of the restricted stock units by vesting condition during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in Part I. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2020 Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 119 franchised and corporate owned restaurants, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium burger experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries and onion rings, shakes, beer, wine and more. Originally founded in February 2011 in sunny Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, the purpose was simple – redeFining the way the world eats burgers by providing an upscale burger offering, at a fast-casual price point. We have become the go-to burger restaurant for good times and high-quality food across the United States and beyond. Known for delivering the all-natural burger experience in a fast-casual environment, BurgerFi is committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that promises fresh food of transparent quality.

Today, we are among the nation’s fastest-growing better burger concepts and took the No. 1 spot on Fast Casual Restaurant’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers for 2021, ranked Top Better Burger chain in Fast Casual Restaurants in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice for 2021, placed as the Top Better Burger Chain in Fast Casual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers list in 2021, named QSR Magazine’s Breakout Brand of the Year for 2020, named “Best Burger Joint” by Consumer Reports and fellow public interest organizations in the 2019 Chain Reaction Study, and listed as a “Top Restaurant Brand to Watch” by Nation’s Restaurant News in 2019. BurgerFi was also featured in the fourth annual Chain Reaction antibiotic scorecard by National Resources Defense Council and Consumer Reports with an “A” rating – one of only two brands serving passing grade beef.

Since our inception, we have grown steadily—with 119 BurgerFi restaurants, as of June 30, 2021, in 2 countries and 22 states and Puerto Rico—and we continue to expand, bringing the BurgerFi experience to new guests around the world.

Significant Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our Company’s restaurants are located. We first began to experience impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak around the middle of March 2020, as federal, state and local governments began to react to the public health crisis by encouraging or requiring social distancing, instituting stay-at-home orders, and requiring, in varying degrees, restaurant dine-in limitations, capacity limitations or other restrictions that largely limited restaurants to take-out, drive-thru and delivery sales. As a result of the required changes to consumer behavior to largely off-premises dining, as well as promotional activities associated with delivery, we saw some recovery in sales at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Our most significant declines in sales were in late March through the third week in April. Beginning in May 2020 and through the end of 2020, sales began to recover. We experienced a steady recovery during the period ended June 30, 2021, as systemwide same store sales increased 20% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

We did not experience any material supply chain difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak during the six months ended June 30, 2021; however, there can be no assurances that we will not experience supply chain challenges in the future. Although we have experienced some recovery since the initial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and are able to meet our obligations as they become due with our cash flow from operations, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. In addition, we continue to monitor the spread of new variants, including the pandemic’s recent emergence of the Delta variant, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date and has resulted in an increase in cases in the United States and globally. As cases rise, mask mandates, social-distancing, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders could be reinstated. The impact of the Delta variant cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta variant and the response by governmental bodies and regulators. An extended period of economic disruption could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and overall financial condition.

Key Metrics

The following key metrics are important indicators of the overall direction of our business, including trends in sales and the effectiveness of our marketing, operating, and growth initiatives:

Systemwide Restaurant Sales

Systemwide restaurant sales is presented as informational data in order to understand the aggregation of franchised stores sales, ghost kitchen and corporate-owned store sales performance. Systemwide restaurant sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchise restaurants, ghost kitchens and corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Systemwide restaurant same store sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchise restaurants, ghost kitchens, and corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. See definition below for same store sales.

Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales

Corporate-owned restaurant sales represent the sales generated by corporate-owned restaurants. Corporate-owned restaurant sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Corporate-owned restaurant same stores sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. These measures highlight the performance of existing corporate restaurants.

Same Store Sales

We use the measure of same store sales to evaluate the performance of our store base, which excludes the impact of new stores and closed stores, in both periods under comparison. We include a restaurant in the calculation of same store sales once it has been in operation after 14 months. A restaurant which is temporarily closed (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), is included in the same store sales computation. A restaurant which is closed permanently, such as upon termination of the lease, or other permanent closure, is immediately removed from the same store sales computation. Our calculation of same store sales may not be comparable to others in the industry.

Digital Channel Systemwide Sales

We use the measure of digital channel systemwide sales to measure performance of our investments made in our digital platform and partnerships with third party delivery partners. We believe our digital platform capabilities are a vital element to continuing to serve our customers and will continue to be a differentiator for BurgerFi as compared to some of our competitors. Digital channel systemwide sales refer to sales generated through the use of digital platforms across all our franchise and corporate-owned restaurants. Digital channel sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales through our digital platforms in one period from the same period in the prior year for all franchise and corporate-owned restaurants. Digital channel orders and digital channel orders as a percentage of systemwide sales are indicative of the number of orders placed through our digital platforms and the percentage of those digital orders when compared to total number of orders at all our franchise and corporate restaurants

By providing these key metrics, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Results of Operations

To reflect the application of different bases of accounting as a result of the business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Opes Acquisition Corp. acquired the private operating company formerly called BurgerFi International, LLC and changed its name to BurgerFi International, Inc., the tables provided below separate the Company’s results via a black line into two distinct periods as follows: (1) three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (labeled “Predecessor”) and (2) three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (labeled “Successor”).

The historical financial information of Opes Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination (a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a user of the financial statements. SPACs deposit the proceeds from their initial public offerings into a segregated trust account until a business combination occurs, where such funds are then used to pay consideration for the acquiree and/or to pay stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with the business combination. The operations of a SPAC, until the closing of a business combination, other than income from the trust account investments and transaction expenses, are nominal. Accordingly, no other activity in the Company was reported for periods prior to December 16, 2020 besides BurgerFi’s operations as Predecessor.

As Opes Acquisition Corp.’s historical financial information is excluded from the Predecessor financial information, the business, and thus financial results, of the Successor and Predecessor entities, are expected to be largely consistent, excluding the impact on certain financial statement line items that were impacted by the Business Combination.
