Kura Sushi USA, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Kura Sushi USA, Inc. is a technology-enabled Japanese restaurant concept that provides guests with a distinctive dining experience by serving authentic Japanese cuisine through an engaging revolving sushi service model, which the Company refers to as the “Kura Experience.” Kura Sushi encourages healthy lifestyles by serving freshly prepared Japanese cuisine using high-quality ingredients that are free from artificial seasonings, sweeteners, colorings, and preservatives. Kura Sushi aims to make quality Japanese cuisine accessible to its guests across the United States through affordable prices and an inviting atmosphere. “Kura Sushi USA,” “Kura Sushi,” “Kura,” and the “Company” refer to Kura Sushi USA, Inc. unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires.

 

Effects of COVID-19

The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business have been significant. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious virus continues to spread, including recent acceleration of the spread of the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 in the areas in which the Company operates. This has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies and financial markets globally. In response to this outbreak, many state and local authorities mandated the temporary closure of non-essential businesses and dine-in restaurant activity or limited indoor dining capacities during the Company’s previous two fiscal years. COVID-19 and the government measures taken to control it have caused a significant disruption to the Company’s business operation. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the Company opened three new restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona, Chandler, Arizona, and San Antonio, Texas, and was able to operate all of its 36 restaurants with no government restrictions on indoor dining capacity. Subsequent to February 28, 2022, the Company opened one new restaurant in Watertown, MA. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of the Company’s 37 restaurants were operating with no government restrictions on indoor dining capacity.  

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has prioritized taking steps to protect the health and safety of its employees and customers. The Company has maintained cleaning and sanitizing protocols for its restaurants and has implemented additional training and operational manuals for its restaurant employees, as well as increased handwashing procedures. The Company also provides each restaurant employee with face masks and gloves, and requires each employee to pass a health screening process, which includes a temperature check, before the start of each shift.

Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020, and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for refundable employee retention credits subject to certain criteria through the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. The Company recognized a $2.6 million employee retention credit during the three and six months ended February 28, 2021, of which $2.2 million was included in labor and related costs and $0.4 million was included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had recognized and filed for refunds of the amount of $12.1 million employee retention credits. During the six months ended February 28, 2022, and as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has received $8.0 million in refunds, and cannot reasonably estimate when it will receive any or all of the remaining $4.1 million in refunds.

Consistent with the Company’s long-term growth strategy, the Company expects to continue to open new restaurants in locations where it believes such restaurants have the potential to achieve profitability. The future sales levels of the Company’s restaurants and its ability to implement its growth strategy, however, remain highly uncertain, as the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It is possible that renewed outbreaks, increases in cases and/or new variants of the disease, either as part of a national trend or on a more localized basis, could result in additional COVID-19 related restrictions including capacity restrictions, or otherwise limit the Company’s dine-in services, or negatively affect consumer demand.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements (the “Condensed Financial Statements”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. As such, these Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

5


 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the Condensed Financial Statements have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim period.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year begins on September 1 and ends on August 31, and references made to “fiscal year 2022” and “fiscal year 2021” refer to the Company’s fiscal years ending August 31, 2022 and ended August 31, 2021, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented.

Significant items subject to such estimates include asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation, the useful lives of assets, the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) is the same as net income (loss) for all periods presented. Therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance,” which provides guidance on disclosures for transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2021-10 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2023. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740.  The Company adopted this update effective September 1, 2021. The adoption of this update did not impact the consolidated financial statements.
