prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company management, all adjustments have been included.
Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. These unaudited financial
statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation of
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2010. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. The results of
operations for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2010.
The Companys debt is reported at historical cost, based upon stated interest rates which
represented market rates at the time of borrowing. Due to subsequent declines in credit quality
throughout the restaurant industry resulting from weak and volatile operating performance and
related declines in restaurant values, the market for fixed rate mortgage debt for restaurant
financing is currently extremely limited. The Companys debt is not publicly traded and there are
few lenders or financing transactions for similar debt in the marketplace at this time.
Consequently, management has not been able to identify a market for fixed rate restaurant mortgage
debt with a similar risk profile, and has concluded that it is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of the Companys debt as of August 15, 2010.
NOTE 2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective July 1, 2009, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) (Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), became the single
source for authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. During
fiscal 2010, several Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) were issued.
ASU 2010-05 January, 2010 Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation
This update is a clarification of the treatment of escrowed share arrangements and provides
guidance on the presumption of compensation under such arrangements. The Company has determined
that the changes to the accounting standards required by this update do not have a material effect
on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2010-06 January, 2010 Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
This update improves the disclosures regarding fair value measurements including information
regarding the level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities and the valuation methods being
employed. The provisions of this update are effective for the Companys fiscal year ending
February 27, 2011. Management is evaluating what effect, if any, the adoption of these provisions
will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is
based on the combined weighted average number of shares outstanding, which includes the assumed
exercise, or conversion of options. In computing diluted net income per common share, the Company
has utilized the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the difference between
basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Options to purchase 149,000 common shares were outstanding during both the 2011 and 2010 fiscal
years and were included in the computation only for the time during which their exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options for 149,000 shares,
exercisable at $1.50 per share expire on November 5, 2018.
NOTE 4 DEBT
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.20 to 1 regarding all of the Companys loans and the maintenance of individual
restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.20 and 1.50 to 1 on certain of the Companys
individual restaurant loans. A portion of the Companys debt also contains a funded debt to
EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) requirement of 5.5.
Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by dividing the cash flow before rent and debt service
for the previous 12 months by the debt service and rent due in the coming 12 months. In the
calculation of funded debt to EBITDAR, funded debt is the next twelve month operating lease
obligation times eight plus the debt balance at the measurement date. The funded debt is then
divided by the prior twelve month EBITDAR to obtain the calculated ratio. The consolidated and
individual ratios are all computed quarterly. The Company entered into a loan modification
agreement covering a portion of its debt which decreased the fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.10
and increased the funded debt to EBITDAR ratio to 6.0 from 5.5 through the first quarter of fiscal
2012 and is in compliance with that requirement. The Company has obtained waivers of its
noncompliance covering the appropriate time frames for its other debt. In exchange for the waivers
and loan modifications, the Company will pay fees of approximately $140,000 and, on loans covering
two of it restaurant properties, will pay increased interest rates. As of the measurement date of
August 15, 2010, the Companys consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.12 to 1, funded debt
to EBITDAR was 5.8 and management projects that the Company will be in compliance with its
consolidated debt covenants, as modified, at the relevant future measurement dates. As of August
15, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge coverage ratio on 18
of its restaurant properties and has obtained waivers of these requirements covering a period of
longer than one year. The debt obligations of the Company which contain fixed charge coverage
ratio and funded debt to EBITDAR requirements are classified as long-term, except for the amounts
due within one year. If the Company does not comply with the covenants of its various debt
agreements in the future, and if future waivers or loan modifications are not obtained, the
respective lenders will have certain remedies available to them which include calling the debt,
increasing the interest rates and the acceleration of payments. Noncompliance with the
requirements of the Companys debt agreements, if not waived, could also trigger cross-default
provisions contained in the respective agreements.
NOTE 5 STOCK OPTIONS
On April 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Stock Option Plan for Executives
and Managers. Under the plan 145,500 shares were reserved for the grant of options. The Stock
Option Plan for Executives and Managers provides for grants to eligible participants of
nonqualified stock options only. The exercise price for any option awarded under the Plan is
required to be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date that the
option is granted. Options are granted by the Stock Option Committee of the Company. Options for
145,150 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company on April 2, 1999 at an
exercise price of $4.125, all of which have either expired or been exercised. Options for 350
common shares were granted on November 6, 2008, all of which are currently outstanding. The
options vested in six months and expire ten years after date of issue.
At the Companys annual meeting on June 25, 1999 the shareholders approved the Key Employees Stock
Option Plan. This plan allows the granting of options covering 291,000 shares of stock and has
essentially the same provisions as the Stock Option Plan for Executives and Managers which was
discussed above. Options for 129,850 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company
on January 7, 2000 at an exercise price of $3.00. Options for 11,500 shares were granted to
executives on April 27, 2001 at an exercise price of $.85, all of which have either expired or been
exercised. Options for 149,650 common shares were granted on November 6, 2008 at the closing price
on that day of $1.50 per share of which 148,650 are currently outstanding. The options vested in
six months and expire ten years after date of issue.
As of August 15, 2010, a total of 149,000 options were outstanding, fully vested and exercisable at
a weighted average exercise price of $1.50 per share. No options are available for grant.

NOTE 6 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Company is required by its franchise agreements to periodically bring its restaurants up
to the required image of the franchisor. This typically involves a new dining room décor and
seating package and exterior changes and related items but can, in some cases, require the
relocation of the restaurant. If the Company deems a particular image enhancement expenditure to
be inadvisable, it has the option to cease operations at that restaurant. Over time, the estimated
cost and time deadline for each restaurant may change due to a variety of circumstances and the
Company revises its requirements accordingly. Also, significant numbers of restaurants may have
image enhancement deadlines that coincide, in which case, the Company will adjust the actual timing
of the image enhancements in order to facilitate an orderly construction schedule. During the
image enhancement process, each restaurant is normally closed for up to two weeks, which has a
negative impact on the Companys revenues and operating efficiencies. At the time a restaurant is
closed for a required image enhancement, the Company may deem it advisable to make other capital
expenditures in addition to those required for the image enhancement.
The franchise agreements with KFC and Taco Bell Corporation require the Company to upgrade and
remodel its restaurants to comply with the franchisors current standards within agreed upon
timeframes. The franchisor may terminate the franchise agreement for those restaurants for which
the required image enhancement is not in progress. In the case of a restaurant containing two
concepts, even though only one is required to be remodeled, additional costs will be incurred
because the dual concept restaurant is generally larger and contains more equipment and signage
than the single concept restaurant. If a property is of usable size and configuration, the Company
can perform an image enhancement to bring the building to the current image of the franchisor. If
the property is not large enough to fit a drive-thru or has some other deficiency, the Company
would need to relocate the restaurant to another location within the trade area to meet the
franchisors requirements. In order to meet the terms and conditions of the franchise agreements,
the Company has the following image enhancement obligations as of August 15, 2010:

As referenced above, the Company did not meet its obligations with respect to four
restaurants due in fiscal 2010 but the image enhancement of one of the restaurants was completed in
April, 2010 and another in July, 2010. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the fiscal second
quarter, the Company completed the image enhancement of a restaurant which is included in the
accompanying schedule as a fiscal 2012 obligation. The Company recently received letters from the
franchisor regarding two of these restaurants warning of the necessity to perform the image
enhancements. The Company relies mainly on cash flow and borrowings to complete its image
enhancements and experienced a decline in cash flow during the later part of fiscal 2009 and early
fiscal 2010 which caused the Company to temporarily suspend its image enhancement activities
resulting in the failure to complete the referenced projects. Negotiations are continuing between
the Company and the franchisor to obtain revisions to its image enhancement schedule. In
addition, as of August 15, 2010 management believes that the Company will not meet the stated
deadlines for seven of the image enhancement projects and is in discussions with its franchisors to
obtain revised schedules. Any revisions to the image enhancement schedule arrived at
through these negotiations may, and likely will, involve material differences when compared to the
schedule presented above. The Company can provide no assurance that the Companys negotiations to
modify the required image enhancement schedule will be successful or, if successful, that the
modified schedule will not require materially increased capital expenditures in any fiscal year
over the next ten years. In addition, no assurance can be given that if the negotiations are not
successful that the franchisor will not terminate the franchise agreement on the two restaurants
not completed in 2010. The termination of those franchise agreements would likely have a material
adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Capital expenditures to meet the image requirements of the franchisors and additional capital
expenditures on those same restaurants being image enhanced are a large portion of the Companys
annual capital expenditures. However, the Company also has made and may make capital expenditures
on restaurant properties not included on the foregoing schedule for upgrades or replacement of
capital items appropriate for the continued successful operation of its restaurants. The Company
may not be able to finance capital expenditures in the volume and time horizon required by the
image enhancement deadlines solely from existing cash balances and existing cash flow and the
Company expects that it will have to utilize financing for a portion of the capital expenditures.
The Company may use both debt and sale/leaseback financing but has no commitments for either.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish the image enhancements
and relocations required in the franchise agreements on terms acceptable to the Company. If the
Company is unable to meet the requirements of a franchise agreement, the franchisor may choose to
extend the time allowed for compliance or may terminate the franchise agreement.
NOTE 7 ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Company owns the land and building of two closed KFC restaurants and the land and building
adjacent to another of its restaurants, all of which are listed for sale and are shown on the
Companys consolidated balance sheet as Assets Held for Sale as of August 15, 2010.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to August 15, 2010 (i) the Company removed the Taco Bell brand from one of its KFC/Taco
Bell restaurants in Pennsylvania as management determined that the Taco Bell revenues at the
location were too low to profitably maintain the brand and (ii) the Company completed the image
enhancement of one of its KFC restaurants in West Virginia.

Revenues. The revenue decrease of $1,529,000 in the quarter ended August 15, 2010 as
compared to the prior year quarter was primarily the result of a 5.6%, or $1,292,000, decrease in
comparable restaurant revenues, the permanent closing of one restaurant and the temporary closing
during the current year quarter of two restaurants for image enhancement. The decline in
comparable restaurant revenues was exacerbated by having no KFC national advertising for five and
one half weeks during the current year quarter due to issues in the national advertising committee.
The revenue decrease of $2,290,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 compared to the
twenty-four weeks ended August 16, 2009 was primarily the result of a 4.1% or $1,873,000 decrease
in comparable restaurant revenues, the permanent closing of two restaurants and the temporary
closing during the current year of three restaurants for image enhancement. The decline in
comparable restaurant revenues resulted primarily from higher sales in the prior year first quarter
during the introduction of grilled chicken (KGC) and the advertising blackout discussed above.
Cost of Sales Food, Paper and Beverage. Food, paper and beverage costs decreased as a
percentage of revenue to 31.0% for the quarter ended August 15, 2010 compared to 31.7% for the
quarter ended August 16, 2009. The decrease in the current year quarter was primarily the result
of continued lower commodity costs and the lack of the free grilled chicken promotions of the prior
year quarter. Food, paper and beverage costs for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010
decreased to 30.8% compared to 32.0% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to the
reasons discussed above.
Cost of Sales Labor and Benefits. Labor and benefits increased as a percentage of
revenue for the quarter ended August 15, 2010 to 29.3% compared to 27.6% for the comparable year
earlier quarter. The increase was primarily due to decreased efficiencies caused by lower sales
volumes. Labor and benefits increased to 28.7% of revenues for the twenty-four weeks ended August
15, 2010 compared to 27.8% in the comparable prior year period primarily for the reasons discussed
above.
Restaurant Operating Expenses. Restaurant operating expenses increased slightly to 26.4%
of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 25.9% in the second quarter of fiscal
2010 primarily due to higher utility and repair costs in the current year period. For the
twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010, restaurant operating expenses were relatively unchanged as
a percentage of revenue at 25.9% from 25.8% in the comparable prior year period.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $648,000 for the
quarter and $1,295,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 compared to $711,000 for the
quarter and $1,428,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended August 16, 2009 primarily due to the greater
volume of assets becoming fully depreciated than new assets being acquired.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to
$1,419,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1,437,000 in the prior year quarter
primarily due to lower bonuses for operations management personnel. General and administrative
expenses for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 decreased to $2,739,000 from $2,846,000
for the prior year period primarily due to the bonuses mentioned above, reduced fees related to
professional services and stock option compensation expense in the prior year.
Loss on Restaurant Assets. The Company experienced a loss on restaurant assets of
$49,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a loss of $15,000 for the second quarter
of fiscal 2010. The current year amounts include $38,000 of reductions in the carrying value of
assets held for sale and write offs caused by image enhancements. Prior year amounts include
reductions in the reserve for closed restaurant locations and the sale of one restaurant. The loss
on restaurant assets for the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2011 was $99,000 compared to a loss
of $21,000 for the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2010. Current year amounts consist mainly of
reductions in the carrying value of assets held for sale, the permanent closing of one restaurant,
the sale of one restaurant location and write offs caused by image enhancements. Prior year
amounts reflect reductions in the reserve for closed restaurants offset by a loss on the sale of
one restaurant location and the permanent closing of another.
Operating Income. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased to
$764,000, or 3.5% of revenues, compared to $1,274,000, or 5.5% of revenues, for the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 primarily due to the decreased efficiencies caused by lower sales volumes as
discussed above. Operating income for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 decreased to
$2,295,000, or 5.2% of
11
revenues, from $2,359,000, or 5.1% of revenues, for the twenty-four weeks ended August 16, 2009 as
a result of operating income being 6.9% of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 offset by
the lower operating income percentage of the second quarter.
Interest Expense. The first quarter of fiscal 2011 contained $98,000 of prepayment fees
and write off of deferred financing costs related to the early payment of the debt on a closed
restaurant location which was sold, while the prior year second quarter contained $82,000 of
similar expense related to the sale of another closed restaurant facility. Interest expense on
bank debt and notes payable including capitalized leases decreased to $558,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2011 from $616,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 due to lower debt
balances in the current year. Interest expense on bank debt and notes payable including
capitalized leases for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 was $1,143,000 compared to
$1,266,000 for the comparable prior year period primarily for the reasons discussed above.
Other Income and Expense. Other income and expense was $17,000 of income for the
second quarter and expense of $72,000 for the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to
income of $43,000 for the second quarter and income of $87,000 for the first twenty-four weeks of
fiscal 2010. Other expenses in the current year included $111,000 in charitable contributions to
the Susan G. Komen Foundation generated by KFCs Buckets for the Cure promotion during the first
quarter of fiscal 2011.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended August
15, 2010 was $60,000 on pre-tax income of $223,000 compared to $299,000 on pre-tax income of
$619,000 for the comparable prior year period. The provision for income taxes is recorded at the
Companys projected annual effective tax rate and consists of a current tax benefit of $2,000 and
a deferred tax provision of $62,000 compared to a current tax provision of $7,000 and a deferred
tax provision of $292,000 for the comparable prior year period.
The provision for income taxes for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 was $244,000 on
pre-tax income of $982,000 compared to $424,000 on pre-tax income of $1,098,000 for the comparable
prior year period. The components of the tax provision for the twenty-four weeks ended August 15,
2010 were a current tax expense of $3,000 and deferred tax provision of $241,000 compared to a
current income tax provision of $16,000 and a deferred tax provision of $408,000 for the
comparable prior year period.
The effective tax rate for the current year quarter is lower than the comparable prior year period
by 15 percentage points due to a decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The
decrease is based on the Companys estimate regarding the realization of its net deferred tax
assets remaining unchanged since its last fiscal year end. The projections indicate that a lower
valuation allowance is required to properly state net deferred tax assets. Since the decrease is
due to the projected realization of ordinary income, it has been included in the computation of the
effective tax rate. The changes in deferred taxes and valuation allowances are non-cash items and
do not affect the Companys cash flow or cash balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash provided by operating activities was $3,142,000 for
the twenty-four weeks ended August 15, 2010 compared to $4,107,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended
August 16, 2009. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily the result of $168,000 less in
cash provided by the change in deferred taxes, $385,000 less in cash provided by the reduction of
accounts receivable, $91,000 less of cash provided by the increase in accounts payable and $227,000
less cash provided by funding from supply agreements in the current year period compared the prior
year period. The Company paid scheduled long-term bank and capitalized lease debt of $1,537,000
and $451,000 of debt before its scheduled maturity in the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2011
compared to payments of $1,496,000 and $306,000 for the same period in fiscal 2010. Capital
expenditures for the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2011 were $1,009,000 less $234,000 of
proceeds from the sale of assets, compared to $802,000 and $119,000, respectively, for the same
period in fiscal 2010. As of August 15, 2010 management believes that it will not meet the stated
deadlines for seven of its image enhancement projects and is in discussions with its franchisors to
obtain revised schedules. Capital expenditure activity is discussed in more detail in Note 6 to
the consolidated financial statements.
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.20 to 1 regarding all of the Companys loans and the maintenance of individual
restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.20 and 1.50 to 1 on certain of the Companys
individual restaurant loans. A portion of the Companys debt also contains a funded debt to
EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) requirement of 5.5.
Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by dividing the cash flow before rent and debt service
for the previous 12 months by the debt service and rent due in the coming 12 months. In the
calculation of funded debt to EBITDAR, funded debt is the next twelve month operating lease
obligation times eight plus the debt balance at the measurement date. The funded debt is then
divided by the prior twelve month EBITDAR to obtain the calculated ratio. The consolidated and
individual ratios are all computed quarterly. The Company entered into a loan modification
agreement covering a portion of its debt which decreased the fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.10
and increased the funded debt to EBITDAR ratio to 6.0 from 5.5 through the first quarter of fiscal
2012 and is in compliance with that requirement. The Company has obtained waivers of its
noncompliance covering the appropriate time frames for its other debt. In exchange for the waivers
and loan modifications, the Company will pay fees of approximately $140,000 and, on loans covering
two of it restaurant properties, will pay increased interest rates. As of the measurement date of
August 15, 2010, the Companys consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.12 to 1, funded debt
to EBITDAR was 5.8 and management projects that the Company will be in compliance with its
consolidated debt covenants, as modified, at the relevant future measurement dates. As of
12
August 15, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge coverage ratio
on 18 of its restaurant properties and has obtained waivers of these requirements covering a period
of longer than one year. The debt obligations of the Company which contain fixed charge coverage
ratio and funded debt to EBITDAR requirements are classified as long-term, except for the amounts
due within one year. If the Company does not comply with the covenants of its various debt
agreements in the future, and if future waivers or loan modifications are not obtained, the
respective lenders will have certain remedies available to them which include calling the debt,
increasing the interest rates and the acceleration of payments. Noncompliance with the
requirements of the Companys debt agreements, if not waived, could also trigger cross-default
provisions contained in the respective agreements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Effective July 1, 2009, the FASB (Financial Accounting
Standards Board) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) (Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles), became the single source for authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. During fiscal 2010, several Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) were
issued.
ASU 2010-05 January, 2010 Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation
This update is a clarification of the treatment of escrowed share arrangements and provides
guidance on the presumption of compensation under such arrangements. The Company has determined
that the changes to the accounting standards required by this update do not have a material effect
on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2010-06 January, 2010 Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
This update improves the disclosures regarding fair value measurements including information
regarding the level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities and the valuation methods being
employed. The provisions of this update are effective for the Companys fiscal year ending
February 27, 2011. Management is evaluating what effect, if any, the adoption of these provisions
will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Seasonality. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal fluctuations.
Historically, the Companys revenues and income have been highest during the summer months with the
fourth fiscal quarter representing the slowest period. This seasonality is primarily attributable
to weather conditions in the Companys marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York.
Safe Harbor Statements. This report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements include those identified by such words as may,
will, expect anticipate, believe, plan and other similar terminology. Forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in this report. The forward-looking statements
reflect the Companys current expectations and are based upon data available at the time of the
statements. Actual results involve risks and uncertainties, including both those specific to the
Company and general economic and industry factors. Factors specific to the Company include, but
are not limited to, its debt covenant compliance, actions that lenders may take with respect to any
debt covenant violations, its ability to obtain waivers of any debt covenant violations and its
ability to pay all of its current and long-term obligations, the Companys ability to negotiate
extensions to franchisors image enhancement requirements and those factors described in Part I
Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 1,
2010. Economic and industry risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited, to, franchisor
promotions, business and economic conditions, legislation and governmental regulation, competition,
success of operating initiatives and advertising and promotional efforts, volatility of commodity
costs and increases in minimum wage and other operating costs, availability and cost of land and
construction, consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Certain of the Companys debt comprising approximately $12.9 million of principal balance has a
variable rate which is adjusted monthly. A one percent increase in variable rate base (90 day
LIBOR) of the loans at the beginning of the year would cost the Company approximately $129,000 in
additional annual interest costs. The Company may choose to offset all, or a portion of the risk
through the use of interest rate swaps or caps. The Companys remaining borrowings are at fixed
interest rates, and accordingly the Company does not have market risk exposure for fluctuations in
interest rates relative to those loans. The Company does not enter into derivative financial
investments for trading or speculation purposes. Also, the Company is subject to volatility in
food costs as a result of market risk and we manage that risk through the use of a franchisee
purchasing cooperative which uses longer term purchasing contracts. Our ability to recover
increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in
which we operate. The Company believes that its market risk exposure is not material to the
Companys financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

over financial reporting.
