NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTERS ENDED AUGUST 18, 2002 AND AUGUST 12, 2001
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim consolidated financial statements of Morgan's Foods, Inc. ("the
Company") have been 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. Except as noted in
the notes to the financial statements, these unaudited financial statements have
been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation
of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2002.
Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year
presentation.
NOTE 2. 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.
NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. As specified
therein, intangible assets acquired that are obtained through contractual or
legal right, or are capable of being separately sold, transferred, licensed,
rented or exchanged are recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 141
is effective for all acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001. At the beginning
of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified amounts previously reported as acquired
franchise rights into goodwill for all periods presented as the amounts do not
meet the criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain intangible
assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. Goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but are
subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value
based test. The Company implemented SFAS No. 142 for its fiscal 2003 year
beginning March 4, 2002. SFAS No. 142 allows up to six months from the date of
adoption to perform the transitional goodwill impairment test which requires the
comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value (using
amounts measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption) to determine
whether there is an indicated transitional goodwill impairment. The Company
performed
7
the transitional goodwill impairment test and determined that as of March 4,
2002 the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than its carrying value.
If a reporting units fair value was below its carrying value, the Company would
be required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to
quantify and record the goodwill impairment by the end of fiscal 2003.

The Company's intangible asset amortization expense relating to its
franchise agreements for the twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 was
$45,000. Intangible assets relating to franchise agreements continue to be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of each franchise
agreement, all of which were originally 20 years. The estimated intangible
amortization expense for each of the next five years is $125,000.
The following table reports the comparative impact the adoption of SFAS No.
142 has on the reported results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated
asset retirement costs. The new rules apply to legal obligations associated with
the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development and/or normal operation of long-lived assets. The
Company intends to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 beginning in fiscal
2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of
a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). SFAS No. 144
requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed
of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired and broadens the
presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions
than were included under
8
the previous standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 beginning in fiscal
2003, as required; however, adoption of the statement did not have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 145 was issued in April 2002. This statement rescinds and amends
several authoritative pronouncements, and makes certain technical corrections
and clarifications. SFAS No. 145 requires that gains or losses from debt
extinguishments that are part of recurring operations no longer be reported as
extraordinary items. SFAS No. 145 also requires certain lease modifications that
have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions to be accounted for
as sale-leasebacks. The various provisions of SFAS No. 145 have effective dates
through the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. Currently effective provisions
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of
provisions with future effective dates.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured
initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is
effective for activity initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the impact of this statement on its financial statements
and will adopt the provision of this statement for any exit or disposal activity
that occurs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 or later.

REVENUES. Revenues for the quarter ended August 18, 2002 were $20,348,000
compared to $19,939,000 for the quarter ended August 12, 2001. This increase of
$409,000 was due mainly to a 1.9% increase in comparable restaurant revenues.
The increase in comparable restaurant revenues was primarily the result of
effective product promotions by the franchisors during the quarter. Revenues for
the twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 were $39,507,000 compared to
$38,546,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended August 12, 2001. This increase was
primarily due to a 2.3% increase in comparable restaurant revenues for the
reason discussed above.
COSTS OF SALES - FOOD, PAPER AND BEVERAGES. Food, paper and beverage costs
for the second quarter increased as a percentage of revenue from 30.4% in fiscal
2002 to 31.2% in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily the result of product
promotions during the second quarter of fiscal 2003 having a higher food cost
than those which were promoted during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. These
increases in food, paper and beverage cost percentages were partially offset by
the effect of higher average restaurant volumes and the amortization of a new
supply agreement advance as a reduction of food, paper and beverage cost of
sales. Food, paper and beverage costs for the twenty-four weeks ended August 18,
2002 increased to 30.9% of revenue compared to 30.7% in the year earlier period
for the reasons discussed above.
COST OF SALES - LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits increased as a
percentage of revenue for the quarter ended August 18, 2002 to 26.5% compared to
25.8% for the year earlier quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher
workers compensation costs and higher wages due to an increasingly competitive
labor market in the Company's market areas. Labor and benefits for the
twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 increased as a percentage of revenue to
26.9% from 26.1% in the year earlier period for the reasons discussed above.
RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenue to 25.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to
25.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. This improvement was the result of
higher average restaurant volumes and the removal of home delivery services from
the remaining restaurants which offered it, which decreased advertising expense.
Restaurant operating expenses for the twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002
decreased to 25.0% of revenue compared to 25.5% in the prior year period for the
reasons discussed above.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization decreased to
$786,000 in the current year second quarter from $887,000 in the prior year
second quarter. This decrease was due to the implementation of SFAS No. 142
whereby goodwill is no longer amortized. Depreciation and amortization for the
twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 decreased to $1,550,000 from $1,774,000
for the year earlier period for the reason discussed above.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased to $1,391,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1,113,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase of $278,000 was mainly the
result of increased accounting and legal costs, increased training expenses,
increased workers compensation and medical costs and current year salary
increases as well as other minor fluctuations. The increased accounting and
legal costs were due to assessments paid to the KFC Franchisee legal fund and
the acceleration, compared to the prior year, of the timing of tax and employee
benefit plan work performed by the Company's advisors. General and
administrative expenses for the twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002
increased to $2,706,000 from $2,307,000 in the prior year period. The increase
of $399,000 was due to the reasons discussed above.
10
LOSS ON RESTAURANT ASSETS. The loss on restaurant assets increased from
$25,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to $58,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 as a result of an increase in the reserve for the costs necessary to
dispose of previously closed restaurants. The loss on restaurant assets for the
twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 increased to $68,000 from $31,000 in the
year earlier period for the reason discussed above.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2003
decreased to $1,239,000 or 6.1% of revenues compared to $1,591,000 or 8.0% of
revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Operating income for the
twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 decreased to $2,484,000 or 6.3% of
revenues compared to $2,693,000 or 7.0% of revenues for the year earlier period.
These decreases were primarily the result of higher food cost product
promotions, increased workers compensation and medical expenses, increased legal
and professional expenses and increased labor costs which were partially offset
by slightly higher revenue in the current year and the implementation of SFAS
No. 142 whereby goodwill is no longer amortized.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense on bank debt decreased to $1,114,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1,158,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2002 due to lower debt balances during the fiscal 2003 quarter. Interest
expense on bank debt for the twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002 decreased
to $2,255,000 from $2,369,000 for the year earlier period for the reason
discussed above. Interest expense on capitalized leases was substantially
unchanged from the prior year second quarter and prior year twenty-four weeks.
OTHER INCOME. Other income was substantially unchanged in the second
quarter and first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2003 compared to the comparable
periods in 2002.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was
substantially unchanged in the second quarter and first twenty-four weeks of
fiscal 2003 compared to the comparable periods in 2002. The low effective tax
rates result from tax net operating loss carryforwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Cash flow activity for the twenty-four
weeks of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 is presented in the Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities was $1,712,000 for the
twenty-four weeks ended August 18, 2002. The Company paid scheduled long-term
bank and capitalized lease debt of $995,000 in the first twenty-four weeks of
fiscal 2003.
The quick service operations of the Company have historically provided
sufficient cash flow to service the Company's debt, refurbish and upgrade
restaurant properties and cover administrative overhead. Management believes
that operating cash flow will provide sufficient capital to continue to operate
and maintain its restaurants, service the Company's debt and support required
corporate expenses.
Certain of the Company's debt arrangements require the maintenance of a
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of its
mortgage loans and individual restaurant coverage ratios on certain of its loans
as measured at each of the Company's fiscal year ends. At March 3, 2002, the
Company was in compliance with the consolidated ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 applicable
to all of its loans. The Company was not in compliance with the 1.4 to 1.0 unit
level ratio on certain of its restaurants. The Company obtained a waiver of
these violations covering the interim periods of fiscal 2003 from the applicable
lender and expects to be in compliance with the minimum coverage ratios and
other terms and conditions of the agreements by the end of fiscal 2003 or to
obtain amendments or waiver of any covenants.
11
The Company is currently not in full compliance with the American Stock
Exchange financial condition guidelines for continued listing. Specifically, the
Company fell under the guidelines in Section 1003(a)(i) with shareholders'
equity of less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net
losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years; Section 1003(a)(ii) with
shareholder's equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing
operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years;
and Section 1003(a)(iii) with shareholder's equity of less than $6,000,000 and
losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent
fiscal years.
On April 22, 2002 the Company submitted a plan to the staff at the American
Stock Exchange indicating how it would regain compliance with the continued
listing standards. Subsequent to the original notice on March 15, 2002 the
Company regained compliance with item 1003(a)(iii) by reporting, on May 31,
2002, a profit for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2002. The Company's plan was
accepted by the Exchange on June 7, 2002 and the Company's listing has been
continued under an extension.
The Exchange will continue to monitor the Company's performance
periodically and any failure to meet the operating plan which was accepted by
the Exchange could result in the commencement of delisting proceedings.
SEASONALITY. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal
fluctuations. Historically, the Company's 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
Company's marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York.
