Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 1 In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net earnings.

The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 23, 2012 and June 25, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Note 2 We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $651,000 and $653,000 at June 23, 2012 and September 24, 2011, respectively.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 4 Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 23, 2012
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount

	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Basic EPS
Net Earnings available to common stockholders	$	18,672		18,886	$	0.99

Effect of Dilutive Securities
Options		-		61		-

Diluted EPS
Net Earnings available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions	$	18,672		18,947	$	0.99

500 anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price is greater than the average market price of the common stock.

	Nine Months Ended June 23, 2012

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

Note 6 At June 23, 2012, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans. Share-based compensation was recognized as follows:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	June 23, 2012		June 25, 2011		June 23, 2012		June 25, 2011
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)


Stock Options	$	191	$	40	$	484	$	140
Stock purchase plan		112		37		214		169
Deferred stock issued to outside directors		-		-		-		46
	$	303	$	77	$	698	$	355


Per diluted share	$	0.02	$	-	$	0.04	$	0.02

The above compensation is net of tax benefits	$	47	$	84	$	221	$	317

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $1,000,000 net of tax benefits, or approximately $.05 per share for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2012.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2012 first nine months: expected volatility of 28%; risk-free interest rate of 1.03%; dividend rate of 1.0% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

During the 2012 nine month period, the Company granted 2,000 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $11.97. The Company did not grant any options in the 2011 nine-month period.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 52 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for compensation-related costs for equity-based compensation, which may include disclosure of policies, compensation plan details, allocation of equity compensation, incentive distributions, equity-based arrangements to obtain goods and services, deferred compensation arrangements, employee stock ownership plan details and employee stock purchase plan details.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 7 We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”). We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $917,000 and $973,000 on June 23, 2012 and September 24, 2011, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of June 23, 2012 and September 24, 2011, respectively, the Company has $332,000 and $335,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Table Text Block]

Note 8 In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that amends existing disclosure requirements of fair value measurements adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 26, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption has not had any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires that if a company presents comparative financial statements to include business combinations, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for our second quarter of fiscal year 2012, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which gives us the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both options, we are required to present each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2013 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to goodwill impairment testing for reporting entities with a zero or negative carrying amount. Under the amended guidance, we must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year 2012 and has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of changes in accounting principles, including adoption of new accounting pronouncements, that describes the new methods, amount and effects on financial statement line items.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 10 We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements. We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.

We have applied no aggregation criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments. Our three reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income (loss). These segments are described below.

Food Service

The primary products sold by the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros, dough enrobed handheld products and baked goods. Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; malls and shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions. Within the food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.

Retail Supermarkets

The primary products sold by the retail supermarket segment are soft pretzel products – including SUPERPRETZEL, frozen juice treats and desserts including LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars, WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes, dough enrobed handheld products and TIO PEPE’S Churros. Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.

Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE, PARROT ICE and ARCTIC BLAST in the United States, Mexico and Canada. We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service and Retail Supermarkets and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment. Information regarding the operations in these three reportable segments is as follows:

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Note 12 We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value. Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at June 23, 2012 are summarized as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
	(in thousands)
US Government Agency Debt	$	53,479	$	117	$	38	$	53,558
Certificate of Deposit		1,454		-		-		1,454
	$	54,933	$	117	$	38	$	55,012

All of the certificates of deposit are within the FDIC limits for insurance coverage. Included in the certificates of deposit are $1.2 million pledged as collateral to a municipal sewer district.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at September 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
	(in thousands)
US Government Agency Debt	$	42,000	$	52	$	62	$	41,990
FDIC Backed Corporate Debt		8,015		18		-		8,033
Certificate of Deposit		17,491		1		-		17,492
	$	67,506	$	71	$	62	$	67,515

All of the certificates of deposit are within the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.

The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s held to maturity securities by contractual maturity at June 23, 2012 and September 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

	June 23, 2012				September 24, 2011

Long term held to maturity securities	$	39,479	$	39,558	$	42,000	$	41,990

Proceeds from the redemption and sale of marketable securities were $21,000,000 and $81,023,000 in the three months and nine months ended June 23, 2012, respectively; and $2,022,000 and $27,547,000 in the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011, respectively, with no gain or loss recorded. We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 13 In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores. Revenues from Parrot Ice were approximately $1.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

On June 10, 2010 we acquired the assets of California Churros, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand churro. Revenues from CALIFORNIA CHURROS were approximately $2.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

In May 2011, we acquired the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods. This business had sales of approximately $50 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers and sales of $18.3 million in our 2011 fiscal year from the acquisition date.

In June 2012, we acquired the assets of Kim & Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand soft pretzel. This business had sales of approximately $8 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers.

These acquisitions were and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and their operations are and will be included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

The purchase price allocation for the handhelds acquisition is as follows:

Gain on bargain purchase	$	6,580

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $6,580,000 which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011. The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price.

Acquisition costs of $464,000 and $534,000 for the handhelds acquisition are included in other general expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011, respectively.
