NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Panera Bread Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q. In addition, the year end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005. The consolidated financial statements consist of the accounts of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
In fiscal 2006, the Company adopted a new quarterly fiscal calendar whereby each of its quarters will include 13 weeks (4 week, 5 week, and 4 week period progressions in each quarter), rather than our prior quarterly fiscal calendar which had 16 weeks in the first quarter and 12 weeks in the second, third, and fourth quarters (4 week period progressions in each quarter). The Company’s fiscal week will continue to end on Tuesday, with fiscal 2006 ending on December 26, 2006.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported data to the current presentation.
NOTE B-STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective December 28, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method of SFAS 123R, the value of stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on the grant date of the award based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Compensation cost for awards that vest would not be reversed if the awards expire without being exercised. SFAS 123R applies to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at the adoption date. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). Under the provisions of APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in the consolidated financial statements as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. In adopting SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, the Company has not restated the results of prior periods.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on December 28, 2005, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, which is net of $0.2 million of capitalized compensation cost related to new bakery-cafe construction. Stock-based compensation for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 was $4.5 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, which is net of $0.6 million of capitalized compensation cost related to new bakery-cafe construction. The income tax benefit recognized for stock option expense was $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $0.8 million and $4.5 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.4 million and $9.4 million for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, respectively. Windfall tax benefits realized from exercised stock options was $0.1 million and $2.7 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, respectively. SFAS 123R also requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of share-based payments be presented as a cash inflow from financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, whereas, in prior periods, these amounts were presented as an operating activity.
Stock Compensation Plans
As of September 26, 2006, the Company had one active stock-based compensation plan, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), and had options and restricted stock outstanding (but can make no future grants) under three other stock-based compensation plans, the 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (“1992 Plan”), the Formula Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors (“Formula Plan”) and the 2001 Employee, Director, and Consultant Stock Option Plan (“2001 Plan”).
6
2006 Stock Incentive Plan– In March 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or other similar events) as incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. As a result of stockholder approval of the 2006 Plan, effective as of May 25, 2006, the Company will grant no further stock options, restricted stock or other awards under the 2001 Plan or the 1992 Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors administers the 2006 Plan and has sole discretion to grant awards under the 2006 Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors has delegated the authority to grant awards under the 2006 Plan, other than to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“Committee”).
Long-Term Incentive Program– In the third quarter of 2005, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Program as a sub-plan under the 2001 Plan and the 1992 Plan. In May 2006, the Company amended the Long-Term Incentive Program to provide that the Long-Term Incentive Program is a sub-plan under the 2006 Plan (“LTIP”). Under the LTIP, certain directors, officers, employees, and consultants, subject to approval by the Committee, may be selected as participants eligible to receive a percentage of their annual salary in future years, subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan. This percentage is based on the participant’s level in the Company. In addition, the payment of this incentive can be made in several forms based on the participant’s level including performance awards (payable in cash or common stock), restricted stock, choice awards of restricted stock or stock options, or deferred annual bonus match awards. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, compensation expense related to performance awards, restricted stock, and deferred annual bonus match was $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For both the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, compensation expense related to performance awards, restricted stock, and deferred annual bonus match was $0.8 million.
Performance awards under the LTIP are earned by participants based on achievement of performance goals established by the Committee. The performance period relating to the performance awards is a three-fiscal-year period. The performance goals, including each performance metric, weighting of each metric, and award levels for each metric, for such awards are communicated to each participant and are based on various predetermined earnings and operating metrics. The performance awards will be earned based on achievement of predetermined earnings and operating performance metrics at the end of the three-fiscal-year performance period, assuming continued employment. The performance awards range from 0% to 300% of the participants’ salary based on their level in the Company and the level of achievement of each performance metric. The performance awards will be payable 50% in cash and 50% in common stock unless the Committee otherwise determines. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, compensation expense related to the performance awards was $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For both the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, compensation expense related to performance awards was $0.5 million.
Stock options under the LTIP are granted with an exercise price equal to the quoted market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In addition, stock options vest over five years and must be exercised within six years from date of grant.
Restricted stock of the Company under the LTIP is granted at no cost to participants. Participants are generally entitled to cash dividends on restricted stock, although the Company does not currently pay a dividend, and has no current plans to do so, and voting rights with respect to their respective shares. For awards of restricted stock to date under the LTIP, restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares during a five year period whereby the restrictions lapse on 25% of these shares after two years and thereafter 25% each year for the next three years, subject to continued employment with the Company. In the event a participant is no longer employed by the Company, any unvested shares of restricted stock held by that participant will be forfeited. Upon issuance of restricted stock under the LTIP, unearned compensation equivalent to the market value at the date of grant is charged to stockholders’ equity and subsequently amortized to expense over the five year restriction period. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 restricted stock expense was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For both the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, compensation expense related to restricted stock was $0.1 million.
Under the deferred annual bonus match award portion of the LTIP, eligible participants receive an additional 50% of their annual bonus which is paid three years after the date of the original bonus. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, compensation expense related to the deferred annual bonus match award was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For both the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, compensation expense related to the deferred annual bonus match was $0.2 million.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan– The Company adopted the 1992 Plan in May 1992. A total of 8,600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the 1992 Plan as awards, which could have been in the form of stock options (both qualified and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock, or stock units, to employees and consultants. As a
7
result of stockholder approval of the 2006 Plan, effective as of May 25, 2006, the Company will grant no further stock options, restricted stock or other awards under the 1992 Plan.
Formula Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors– The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Formula Plan on January 27, 1994. The Formula Plan is authorized for the issuance of a total of 300,000 shares and was adopted by stockholders on May 25, 1994. Each option granted to the independent directors is fully vested at the grant date, and is exercisable, either in whole or in part, for 6 years following the grant date. The plan expired in January 2004 and no further shares are available for issuance under the Formula Plan. In January 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a new compensation arrangement for independent directors that compensates directors at a fixed dollar amount, with payment consistent with the LTIP and expected to be made through a combination of cash, stock options, and restricted stock.
2001 Employee, Director, and Consultant Stock Option Plan– The Company adopted the 2001 Plan in June 2001. A total of 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the 2001 Plan as awards, which could have been in the form of stock options, to employees, directors, and consultants. As a result of stockholder approval of the 2006 Plan, effective as of May 25, 2006, the Company will grant no further stock options under the 2001 Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan– The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which was authorized to issue 700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The ESPP gives eligible employees the option to purchase Class A Common Stock (total purchases in a year may not exceed 10% of an employee’s current year compensation) at 85% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock at the end of each calendar quarter. There were approximately 7,000 and 5,500 shares purchased with a weighted average fair value of purchase rights of $10.09 and $9.31 during the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 and twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005, respectively. There were approximately 19,500 and 18,600 shares purchased with a weighted average fair value of purchase rights of $10.41 and $7.74 during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 the Company recognized expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to stock purchase plan discounts.
Under APB No. 25, the Company did not expense stock-based compensation costs during the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. The Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option plans been determined under the fair value based method and recognition provisions of SFAS 123 at the grant date, would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 was $19.18 per share and $21.17 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 36%, risk-free interest rate of 4.05% and 3.93%, respectively, expected life of 5 years, and expected dividend yield of 0%.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 30%, expected term of 5 years, risk-free interest rate of 4.95% and 4.81% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, respectively, and expected dividend yield of 0%. Expected volatility is based on an average of the historical volatility of the Company’s stock, the implied volatility of market options, peer company volatility, and other factors. The average expected life

represents the period of time that option grants are expected to be outstanding and is derived from historical terms and other factors. The risk-free rate is based on the rate of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of option grants. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.

NOTE F-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is the prime tenant for operating leases of 16 franchisee locations and a guarantor for operating leases of 26 locations of its former Au Bon Pain Division, or its franchisees. The leases have terms expiring on various dates from November 2006 to December 2020 and have a potential amount of future rental payments of approximately $28.1 million. The obligation from these leases will continue to decrease over time as these operating leases expire. As the guarantees were initiated prior to December 31, 2002, the Company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees pursuant to the provisions of FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements For Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” Also, the Company has not had to make any payments related to the leases. Au Bon Pain or the applicable franchisee continues to have primary liability for these operating leases.
NOTE G-BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates three business segments. The Company Bakery-Cafe Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the bakery-cafes owned by the Company. The Company-owned bakery-cafes conduct business under the Panera Bread® or Saint Louis Bread Co.® names. These bakery-cafes sell fresh baked goods, made-to-order sandwiches on freshly baked breads, Crispani® hand-crafted pizza, soups, salads, custom roasted coffees, and other complementary products through on-premise sales, as well as Via Panera® catering.
The Franchise Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the franchise business unit which licenses qualified operators to conduct business under the Panera Bread® name and also of the costs to monitor the operations of these bakery-cafes. Under the terms of the agreements, the licensed operators pay royalties and fees to the Company in return for the use of the Panera Bread® name.
The Fresh Dough Operations segment supplies fresh dough items and indirectly supplies proprietary sweet good items through a contract manufacturing arrangement to both Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes. The fresh dough is sold to both Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes at a delivered cost not to exceed 27% of the retail value of the product. The sales and related costs to the franchise-operated bakery-cafes are separately stated line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The operating profit related to the sales to Company-owned bakery-cafes is classified as a reduction of the costs in the food and paper products line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, options and restricted stock for 0.3 million shares and 0.2 million shares, respectively, were excluded in calculating diluted earnings per share as the exercise price exceeded fair market value and inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, options for 0.06 million shares and 0.03 million shares, respectively, were excluded in calculating diluted earnings per share, as the exercise price exceeded fair market value and inclusion would have been antidilutive.
NOTE I-RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006; therefore, the Company will adopt the new requirements when required in fiscal 2007. The Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its financial statements.
NOTE J-SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 24, 2006, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of thirteen bakery-cafes (one of which is under construction) and the area development rights for certain markets in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota from its area developer, Panebraska, L.L.C., for a purchase price of approximately $15 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities, including those associated with bakery-cafe construction. Approximately $7 million of the acquisition price was paid with cash on hand at the time of closing with the remaining approximate $8 million to be paid in 2007. The Consolidated Statements of Operations will include the results of operations from the operating bakery-cafes from the date of the acquisition. The pro forma impact of the acquisition on prior periods is not presented, as the impact is not material to reported results. The Company will allocate the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition at their estimated fair values with any remainder allocated to tax deductible goodwill.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report and in our public disclosures, whether written or oral, relating to future events or our future performance, including any discussion, express or implied, of our anticipated growth, operating results, future earnings per share, plans and objectives, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are often identified by the words “believe”, “positioned”, “estimate”, “project”, “target”, “continue”, “intend”, “expect”, “future”, “anticipates”, and similar expressions that are not statements of historical fact. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is routine for internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that all forward-looking statements and the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations included in this report or other periodic reports are made only as of the date made and may change. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
General
Panera Bread Company and its subsidiaries may be referred to as the “Company,” “Panera Bread,” or in the first person notation of “we,” “us,” and “ours” in the following discussion.
We include in this report information on Company, franchisee, and/or system-wide comparable bakery-cafe sales increases and average weekly sales. System-wide sales are a non-GAAP financial measure that includes sales at all Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes, as reported by franchisees. Management uses system-wide sales information internally in connection with store development decisions, planning, and budgeting analyses. Management believes it is useful in assessing consumer acceptance of our brand and facilitating an understanding of financial performance as our franchisees pay royalties and contribute to advertising pools based on a percentage of their sales.
Our revenues are derived from Company-owned bakery-cafe sales, fresh dough sales to franchisees, and franchise royalties and fees. Fresh dough sales to franchisees are primarily the sales of dough products to our franchisees and the sales of tuna and cream cheese to certain franchisees. Franchise royalties and fees include royalty income and franchise fees. The cost of food and paper products, labor, occupancy, and other operating expenses relate primarily to Company-owned bakery-cafe sales. The cost of fresh dough sales relates primarily to the sale of fresh dough products and tuna and cream cheese to franchisees. General and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and pre-opening expenses relate to all areas of revenue generation.
For the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006, we earned $0.34 per diluted share with the following performance on key metrics: system-wide comparable bakery-cafe sales growth of 2.8% (comparable bakery-cafe sales growth of 2.5% for Company-owned bakery-cafes and 3.0% for franchise-operated bakery-cafes), system-wide average weekly sales increasing 0.6% to $38,098 ($36,905 for Company-owned bakery-cafes and $38,769 for franchise-operated bakery-cafes), and 38 new bakery-cafes opened system-wide in the third quarter, including 17 Company-owned bakery-cafes and 21 franchise-operated bakery-cafes.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, we earned $1.25 per diluted share with the following performance on key metrics: system-wide comparable bakery-cafe sales growth of 4.9% (comparable bakery-cafe sales growth of 4.8% for Company-owned bakery-cafes and 4.9% for franchise-operated bakery-cafes), system-wide average weekly sales increasing 3.2% to $38,729 ($37,384 for Company-owned bakery-cafes and $39,472 for franchise-operated bakery-cafes), and 103 new bakery-cafes opened system-wide through the third quarter, including 44 Company-owned bakery-cafes and 59 franchise-operated bakery-cafes.
In addition, for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, we recognized $1.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses related to stock options as a result of our adoption on December 28, 2005 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. See Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Results of Operations
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this report, we have provided pro forma measurements to conform 2005 results to the 2006 presentation related to our quarterly calendar change and stock option expense. As previously reported, we adopted a new quarterly calendar in 2006 whereby each of our quarters include 13 weeks (4-5-4), rather than our prior calendar which had 16 weeks in the first quarter and 12 weeks in the second, third, and fourth quarters. In addition, effective December 28, 2005, the beginning of our first quarter of 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. This newly adopted standard requires all stock-based compensation, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. We adopted this accounting treatment using the modified prospective transition method, as permitted under SFAS 123R; therefore results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. Accordingly, prior to fiscal 2006, stock-based compensation was included as pro forma disclosure in the financial statement footnotes. We are providing the tables below because we believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations by providing prior reported amounts on a basis comparable to that used in the current period. The pro forma net income and earnings per share amount of $10.8 million and $0.34, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005 and $31.5 million and $1.00, respectively, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005, are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under applicable SEC rules because they are adjusted to reflect the effect of the quarterly calendar change and to include stock-based compensation expense that are not included in the directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for the reported GAAP measures.
The following table sets forth our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. In addition, in order to conform 2005 results to the 2006 presentation, we have provided the following pro forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005, which reflects the effect of the quarterly calendar change, as indicated in footnote (1) below, and provides the pro forma stock-based compensation expense amount for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005 in footnote (2) below.

(1) | | As previously reported, we adopted a new quarterly calendar beginning fiscal 2006 whereby each of our quarters include 13 weeks (4 week, 5 week, and 4 week period progressions in each quarter), rather than our previous quarterly calendar which had 16 weeks in the first quarter and 12 weeks in the second, third and fourth quarters (4 week period progressions in each quarter). As such, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the statements above present our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2006.

Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock option plans prior to fiscal 2006. Under the new quarterly calendar, stock-based compensation costs would have decreased pro forma earnings per diluted share by $0.03 for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. |

Revenues
Total revenues for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 were $205.0 million compared to $148.6 million for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, total revenues for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased 30% to $205.0 million compared to $158.1 million for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. The growth in total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to the opening of 156 new bakery-cafes system-wide since September 27, 2005 and the increase in system-wide comparable bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 of 2.8%. The system-wide average weekly sales per bakery-cafe and the related number of operating weeks for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 and September 27, 2005 and for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005 are as follows:

Total revenues for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 were $596.1 million compared to $466.9 million for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, total revenues for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased 31% to $596.1 million compared to $454.1 million for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The growth in total revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to the opening of 156 new bakery-cafes system-wide since September 27, 2005 and the increase in system-wide comparable bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 of 4.9%. The system-wide average weekly sales per bakery-cafe and the related number of operating weeks for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and September 27, 2005 and for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 39 Weeks Ended | | 39 Weeks Ended | | Percentage | | 40 Weeks Ended |
| | September 26, 2006 | | September 27, 2005 | | Increase | | October 4, 2005 |

System-wide average weekly sales | | $ | 38,729 | | | $ | 37,522 | | | | 3.2 | % | | $ | 37,574 | |
System-wide number of operating weeks | | | 35,859 | | | | 30,349 | | | | 18.2 | % | | | 31,169 | |
Average weekly sales is calculated by dividing total net sales by operating weeks. Accordingly, year over year growth reflects sales for all locations, whereas comparable store sales exclude closed locations and are based on sales for bakery-cafes that have been in operation and owned for at least 18 months. In addition, we had an additional three days in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 as a result of changing our fiscal week in 2005 to end on Tuesday rather than Saturday. Average weekly sales and comparable bakery-cafe sales exclude these three additional days in the first quarter of 2005 for comparative purposes.
New stores typically experience an opening “honey-moon” whereby they generate higher average weekly sales during the first 12 to 16 weeks they are open as customers “settle-in” to normal usage patterns from initial trial of the location. On average the “settle-in” experienced is 5% to 10% from the average weekly sales during the “honey-moon” period. As a result, year over year growth in average weekly sales is generally lower than the growth in comparable bakery-cafe sales. This results from the relationship of the number of bakery-cafes in the “honey-moon” phase, the number of bakery-cafes in the “settle-in” phase, and the number of stores in the comparable store base.

The increase in royalty revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year can be attributed to the opening of 86 franchise-operated bakery-cafes since September 27, 2005 and the 4.9% increase in comparable franchise-operated bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006. Franchise-operated bakery-cafes included in comparable sales increases and not included in comparable sales increases contributed 28.4% and 71.6%, respectively, of the $121.6 million increase in sales from the comparable period in 2005.

As of September 26, 2006, there were 623 franchise-operated bakery-cafes open and commitments to open 400 additional franchise-operated bakery-cafes. We expect these bakery-cafes to open according to the timetables established in the various Area Development Agreements (ADAs) with franchisees, with the majority opening in the next four to five years. In 2006, we expect our
25
area developers to open at least 90 new franchise-operated bakery-cafes. The ADA requires a franchisee to develop a specified number of bakery-cafes on or before specific dates. If a franchisee fails to develop bakery-cafes on schedule, we have the right to terminate the ADA and develop Company-owned locations or develop locations through new area developers in that market. We may exercise one or more alternative remedies to address defaults by area developers, including not only development defaults, but also defaults in complying with our operating and brand standards and other covenants under the ADAs and franchise agreements.
Fresh dough sales to franchisees for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 were $24.7 million compared to $19.5 million for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, fresh dough sales to franchisees for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased 19% to $24.7 million compared to $20.7 million for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005.

The increase in fresh dough sales to franchisees between the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005 was primarily driven by the increased number of franchise-operated bakery-cafes opened described previously.
Costs and Expenses
The cost of food and paper products includes the costs associated with the fresh dough operations that sell fresh dough products to Company-owned bakery-cafes, as well as the cost of food and paper products supplied by third party vendors and distributors. The costs associated with the fresh dough operations that sell fresh dough products to the franchise-operated bakery-cafes are excluded and are shown separately as fresh dough cost of sales to franchisees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of food and paper products increased to 30.3% of bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to 29.3% of bakery-cafe sales for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, the cost of food and paper products increased to 30.3% of bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to 29.8% of bakery-cafe sales for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. This increase in the cost of food and paper products as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher food costs incurred in support of our evening daypart initiative, partially offset by improved leveraging of fresh dough manufacturing costs we achieved as more bakery-cafes were opened coupled with lower fuel costs, which averaged $3.08 per gallon in 2006 compared to $3.17 in the comparable period in 2005. For the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006, there was an average of 54.8 bakery-cafes per fresh dough facility compared to an average of 49.0 for the same period in 2005. The cost of food and paper products increased to 29.7% of bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to 28.6% of bakery-cafe sales for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, the cost of food and paper products increased to 29.7% of bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to 28.8% of bakery-cafe sales for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. This increase in the cost of food and paper products as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher food costs incurred in support of our evening daypart initiative and higher fuel costs, which averaged $2.89 per gallon in the 2006 period compared to $2.69 in the comparable period in 2005, and higher cost and mix impact of antibiotic free chicken, partially offset by improved leveraging of fresh dough manufacturing costs we achieved as more bakery-cafes were opened. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, there was an average of 52.6 bakery-cafes per fresh dough facility compared to an average of 46.9 for the same period in 2005.
Labor expense was $52.1 million, or 31.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $35.3 million, or 30.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, labor expense was $52.1 million, or 31.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $37.9 million, or 30.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. Labor expense was $147.6 million, or 30.9% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $110.8 million, or 30.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, labor expense was $147.6 million, or 30.9% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $108.2 million, or 30.7% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The labor expense as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales increased between the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005 primarily as a result of higher bakery-cafe labor costs incurred in support of our evening daypart initiative, partially offset by leveraging these costs over higher sales volumes.
Occupancy cost was $12.3 million, or 7.4% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $8.3 million, or 7.1% of bakery-cafe sales, of occupancy cost for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, occupancy cost was $12.3 million, or 7.4% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $8.8
26
million, or 7.1% of bakery-cafe sales, of occupancy cost for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. Occupancy cost was $34.8 million, or 7.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $26.5 million, or 7.3% of bakery-cafe sales, of occupancy cost for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, occupancy cost was $34.8 million, or 7.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $25.5 million, or 7.2% of bakery-cafe sales, of occupancy cost for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The increase in occupancy cost as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales between the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005 was primarily due to higher occupancy costs related to new bakery-cafe openings.
Other operating expenses were $24.6 million, or 14.9% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $16.9 million, or 14.5% of bakery-cafe sales, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, other operating expenses were $24.6 million, or 14.9% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $17.6 million, or 14.2% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. The increase in other operating expenses as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to increased local marketing expenses incurred in support of our evening daypart initiative, partially offset by the leveraging of other operating costs over higher sales volumes. Other operating expenses were $67.1 million, or 14.1% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $51.9 million, or 14.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, other operating expenses were $67.1 million, or 14.1% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $50.3 million, or 14.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The decrease in other operating expenses as a percentage of bakery-cafe sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due the leveraging of other operating costs over higher sales volumes, partially offset by increased local marketing expenses incurred in support of our evening daypart initiative.
For the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006, fresh dough facility cost of sales to franchisees was $20.3 million, or 82.2% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, compared to $16.5 million, or 84.7% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, fresh dough facility cost of sales to franchisees for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 was $20.3 million, or 82.2% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, compared to $17.6 million, or 85.0% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, fresh dough facility cost of sales to franchisees was $62.8 million, or 85.2% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, compared to $55.9 million, or 86.8% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, fresh dough facility cost of sales to franchisees for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 was $62.8 million, or 85.2% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, compared to $54.4 million, or 86.8% of fresh dough facility sales to franchisees, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The decrease in the fresh dough facility cost of sales rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily due to lower ingredient costs and improved leveraging of fresh dough manufacturing costs.
General and administrative expenses were $16.6 million, or 8.1% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $10.4 million, or 7.0% of bakery-cafe sales, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, general and administrative expenses were $16.6 million, or 8.1% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $11.1 million, or 7.0% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. General and administrative expenses were $45.4 million, or 7.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $34.2 million, or 7.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, general and administrative expenses were $45.4 million, or 7.6% of bakery-cafe sales, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to $33.2 million, or 7.3% of bakery-cafe sales, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily due to stock-based compensation costs from the adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006, increase in marketing expenses related to our evening daypart initiative, and higher legal costs related to litigation that was favorably resolved in the third quarter, partially offset by the leveraging of these costs over higher sales volumes.
Operating Profit
Operating profit for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 decreased to $16.2 million, or 7.9% of total revenue, from $18.1 million, or 12.2% of total revenue, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, operating profit for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 decreased to $16.2 million, or 7.9% of total revenue, from $18.1 million, or 11.5% of total revenue, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. Operating profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $60.3 million, or 10.1% of total revenue, from $56.3 million, or 12.1% of total revenue, for the forty weeks ended
27
October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, operating profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $60.3 million, or 10.1% of total revenue, from $54.1 million, or 11.9% of total revenue, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The change in operating profit as a percentage of total revenues for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year is consistent the factors described above.
Other Income and Expense
Other income and expense for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $0.9 million of income, or 0.4% of total revenue, from $0.3 million of income, or 0.2% of total revenue, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, other income and expense for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $0.9 million of income, or 0.4% of total revenue, from $0.5 million of income, or 0.3% of total revenue, for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. Other income and expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $2.6 million of income, or 0.4% of total revenue, from $0.4 million of income, or 0.1% of total revenue, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, other income and expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $2.6 million of income, or 0.4% of total revenue, from $0.6 million of income, or 0.1% of total revenue, for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The increase in other income and expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily from increased interest income in 2006 resulting from higher interest rates. Prior year interest income was largely offset by non-recurring costs.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased to $6.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006, compared to $6.7 million for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005 and $6.8 million for the pro forma thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. The provision for income taxes increased to $23.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, compared to $20.7 million for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 and $19.9 million for the pro forma thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The tax provisions for each of the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, and pro forma thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005 reflects a consistent combined federal, state, and local effective tax rate of 36.5%.
Net Income
Net income for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 decreased to $10.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, net income for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $10.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income of $10.8 million, inclusive of SFAS 123 stock option expense, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2005. Net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $39.9 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $36.0 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005. On a comparable basis, net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 increased to $39.9 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income of $31.5 million, inclusive of SFAS 123 stock option expense, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2005. The increase in net income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year is consistent with the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $46.0 million at September 26, 2006 compared with $24.5 million at December 27, 2005. Our principal requirements for cash are capital expenditures for the development of new Company-owned bakery-cafes, for maintaining or remodeling existing Company-owned bakery-cafes, for purchasing existing franchise-operated bakery-cafes, for developing, remodeling and maintaining fresh dough facilities, and for enhancements of information systems and other infrastructure capital investments. See Note J of our Consolidated Financial Statements for acquisition of franchise-operated bakery-cafes on October 24, 2006. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006, we met the majority of our requirements for capital with cash from operations.
We had working capital of $39.5 million at September 26, 2006 and $15.9 million at December 27, 2005. The increase in working capital from December 27, 2005 to September 26, 2006 resulted primarily from an increase in cash of $21.5 million, an increase in prepaid expenses of $1.6 million and a decrease in accrued expense and other current liabilities of $13.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in current investments in government securities of $10.2 million and an increase in accounts payable of $2.9 million. We
28
have experienced no liquidity difficulties and have historically been able to finance our operations through internally generated cash flow.

Operating Activities
Funds provided by operating activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 were $67.5 million and $81.6 million, respectively. Funds provided by operating activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 primarily resulted from net income, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, and an increase in deferred rent and other long-term liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and deferred income taxes. Funds provided by operating activities for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 primarily resulted from net income, depreciation and amortization, tax benefit from exercise of stock options, and an increase in accrued expenses.
Investing Activities
Total capital expenditures for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 were $74.1 million and were primarily related to the opening of 44 Company-owned bakery-cafes, costs incurred on Company-owned bakery-cafes to be opened in the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007, the maintaining or remodeling of existing bakery-cafes and fresh dough facilities, and costs incurred on information technology and infrastructure. Total capital expenditures were $57.4 million for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 and were primarily related to the opening of 40 Company-owned bakery-cafes in 2005, costs incurred on Company-owned bakery-cafes to be opened in the fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006, the maintaining or remodeling of existing bakery-cafes and fresh dough facilities, and costs incurred on information technology and infrastructure.
As of September 26, 2006 and December 27, 2005, we had investments of $26.0 million and $46.3 million, respectively, in United States treasury notes and government agency securities. Investments are classified as short or long-term in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon their stated maturity dates. As of September 26, 2006, all investments were classified as held-to-maturity as we have the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums to maturity, which approximates fair value at September 26, 2006.
Financing Activities
On December 19, 2003, we entered into a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit (revolver). The revolver matures December 19, 2006 and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.5% depending on our leverage ratio and type of loan (resulting in interest rates of approximately 6.0% to 6.8% at September 26, 2006). The revolver contains restrictions relating to future indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers, acquisitions, or sales of assets, and certain leasing transactions. The revolver also requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants. As of September 26, 2006, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. At September 26, 2006, we had $9.9 million available under the revolver with $0.1 million utilized by an outstanding letter of credit. We have not borrowed under our revolver in any of the last three fiscal years.
Financing activities provided $8.3 million and $10.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 and the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005, respectively. The financing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 included $4.5 million from the exercise of stock options, $2.7 million from the tax benefit from exercise of stock options, and $1.1 million from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans. The financing activities for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2005 included $9.4 million from the exercise of stock options and $0.8 million from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans.
Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
29
Variances in the estimates or assumptions used could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances.
We have chosen accounting policies we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent manner. As described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005, we consider our policies on accounting for revenue recognition, goodwill, self-insurance, and lease obligations to be the most critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R as of the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we have added “Stock-Based Compensation” as a critical accounting policy.
Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain several stock-based incentive plans. We grant options to purchase common stock at an option price equal to the market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable ratably over a four-year period beginning one year from date of grant and have a six-year term. We also grant restricted stock with vesting and terms similar to option grants. In addition, we offer a stock purchase plan where employees may purchase our common stock each calendar quarter through payroll deductions. Participants in the stock purchase plan may elect to purchase unrestricted stock at 85 percent of market value on the purchase date.
Prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R, we applied APB No. 25, and related interpretations, for our stock option grants. APB No. 25 provides that the compensation expense relative to our stock options is measured based on the intrinsic value of the stock option at date of grant.
Effective the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, prior periods are not restated. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of the expected term participants will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested, on the date we adopted SFAS 123R.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2006 totaled approximately $4.5 million related to stock options, $0.9 million related to restricted stock, and $0.2 million related to stock purchase plan discounts. Stock-based compensation expense was included in “general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
We currently anticipate total capital expenditures for fiscal year 2006 of approximately $120 million to $130 million, which consists of the following: $75 million to $80 million related to the opening of at least 70 new Company-owned bakery-cafes and the costs incurred on early 2007 openings, $15 million to $18 million related to the remodeling of existing bakery-cafes, $15 million to $17 million related to the opening of 3 new fresh dough facilities and the remodeling and expansion of existing fresh dough facilities, and $15 million on our concept, information technology, and infrastructure. We expect future bakery-cafes will require, on average, an investment per bakery-cafe (excluding pre-opening expenses which are expensed as incurred) of approximately $0.9 million, which is net of landlord allowances. We expect to fund these expenditures principally through internally generated cash flow and cash from the exercise of employee stock options supplemented, where necessary, by borrowings on our revolver.
In addition to our capital expenditure requirements, we have certain other contractual and committed cash obligations. Our contractual cash obligations consist of noncancelable operating leases for our bakery-cafes, fresh dough facilities and trucks, and administrative offices. Lease terms for our trucks are generally for five to seven years. Lease terms for our bakery-cafes, fresh dough facilities, and administrative offices are generally for ten years with renewal options at most locations and generally require us to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area, and other operating costs. Many bakery-cafe leases provide for contingent rental (i.e., percentage rent) payments based on sales in excess of specified amounts. Certain of our lease agreements
30
provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement –We are the prime tenant for operating leases of 16 franchisee locations and a guarantor for operating leases of 26 locations of our former Au Bon Pain Division, or its franchisees. The leases have terms expiring on various dates from November 2006 to December 2020 and have a potential amount of future rental payments of approximately $28.1 million. The obligation from these leases will continue to decrease over time as these operating leases expire. As the guarantees were initiated prior to December 31, 2002, we have not recorded a liability for these guarantees pursuant to the provisions of FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements For Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” Also, we have not had to make any payments related to the leases. Au Bon Pain or the applicable franchisee continues to have primary liability for these operating leases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006; therefore, the Company will adopt the new requirements when required in fiscal 2007. The Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There were no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative information about market risk since the end of the most recent fiscal year. For further information, see Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 26, 2006. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 26, 2006, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the third quarter ended September 26, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Part I — Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005 describes important factors that could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. These factors include but are not limited to the following:
| • | | Our growth strategy, our business, and our ability to increase our revenue and operating profits could be adversely affected if we are unable to execute our growth strategy. |
|
| • | | Our growth strategy depends on continued development by our franchisees. If our franchisees do not continue to successfully open new bakery-cafes, our business could be adversely affected. |
|
| • | | If we fail to comply with governmental regulations or if these regulations change, our business could suffer. |
|
| • | | We depend on senior management and on the retention and recruiting of other personnel for our future success. The loss of a member of senior management could have an adverse impact on our business or the financial market’s perception of our ability to continue our growth. |
|
| • | | Our failure or inability to protect our brand, trademarks or other proprietary rights could adversely affect our business and competitive position. |
|
| • | | Competition may adversely affect our operations and our results of operation. |
|
| • | | Rising insurance costs could negatively impact our profitability. |
|
| • | | Disruptions in our supply chain or increases in ingredient, product and other supply costs could adversely affect our profitability and operating results. |
|
| • | | Disruptions or supply issues in our fresh dough facilities, could adversely affect our business and results of operations. |
|
| • | | Customer preferences and traffic could be negatively impacted by health concerns about the consumption of certain products. |
|
| • | | We are subject to complaints and litigation that could have a material adverse affect on our business. |
|
| • | | We periodically acquire existing bakery-cafes from our franchisees, which could adversely affect our results of operation. |
|
| • | | Our operating results fluctuate due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, and any of which may adversely affect our financial condition. |
See Part I — Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005 for a further description regarding some of the reasons that our actual operating results may differ materially from those that we anticipate.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2005.
