THE KRYSTAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
----------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business Activities --
The Krystal Company (a Tennessee corporation) ("Krystal") is engaged primarily
in the development, operation and franchising of quick-service restaurants in
the southeastern United States. Until its assets were sold on
October 17, 2002, Krystal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Krystal Aviation Co.
("Aviation"), operated a fixed base airport hangar operation in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Aviation's revenues provide less than 3% of the
Company's total revenues.
Sale of Aviation--
On September 2, 2002, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Truman
Arnold Companies for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company's fixed base operation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The sale was
finalized on October 17, 2002 for a sale price of $10,786,000 and resulted in
a gain on the sale of $2,127,000, net of tax.
The assets of Aviation which were sold subsequent to September 29, 2002 are
classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets. In
addition the operating results of Aviation for all periods presented are
classified as discontinued operations.
Principles of Consolidation --
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Krystal and Aviation (hereinafter referred to collectively as "the Company").
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and temporary investments --
The Company considers repurchase agreements and other temporary cash
investments with a maturity of three months or less to be temporary
investments.
Inventories --
Inventories are stated at cost and consist primarily of food, paper products
and other supplies.
Property, Buildings, and Equipment --
Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures which
materially increase useful lives are capitalized, whereas ordinary
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of fixed
assets is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 10-39 years
Equipment 3-10 years
Leaseholds Life of lease up to 20 years
Long-lived assets --
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets
when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. When an asset
is determined to be impaired, its carrying value is reduced and a charge is
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the third
quarter of 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$496,000 and $345,000, respectively, related to the impairment of property
and equipment at underperforming stores.
Leased property --
The lower of fair market value or the discounted value of that portion of a
capital lease attributable to building costs is capitalized and amortized by
the straight-line method over the term of such leases and included with
depreciation expense. The portions of such leases relating to land are
accounted for as operating leases.
Intangibles --
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (collectively the "Standards"). The Standards are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 141
requires companies to recognize acquired identifiable intangible assets
separately from goodwill if certain conditions are met. The Standards
require the value of separately identifiable intangible assets to be measured
at fair value. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill not be amortized, but
that amounts recorded as goodwill be periodically tested for value impairment.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, if the value of goodwill is determined to be
impaired, the Company is required to reduce goodwill through a charge to
earnings. The Company adopted the Standards effective December 31, 2001.
The adoption of the Standards has the effect of eliminating the amortization
of goodwill. Based on an independent valuation of the Company as of
December 31, 2001, the Company has determined there is no impairment of its
goodwill asset as of that date.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company amortized goodwill over 25
years. Had the Company accounted for goodwill consistent with the
provisions of SFAS 142 in prior periods, the Company's loss from continuing
operations would have been affected as follows (in thousands):

====== ======= ====== =======
The consolidated balance sheet includes deferred financing costs of $5,778,700
at September 29, 2002. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life
of the debt agreement. The financing costs related to the Senior Notes are
amortized over 10 years. The financing costs associated with the Company's
Credit Facility are being amortized in part through May 2004 and in part
through January 2007. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs for
the three months ended September 29, 2002 was $154,700 and for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 was $135,900. Amortization expense for
deferred financing costs for the nine months ended September 29, 2002 was
$507,600 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $407,600.
Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs at September 29, 2002
and September 30, 2001 was $3,498,100 and $2,914,100, respectively.
Franchise and License Agreements --
Franchise or license agreements are available for single and multi-unit
restaurants. The multi-unit agreement establishes the number of restaurants
the franchisee or licensee is to construct and open in the franchised area
during the term of the agreement. At September 29, 2002, there were 177
franchised or licensed restaurants and at September 30, 2001, there were 155
franchised or licensed restaurants.
Franchisees and licensees are required to pay the Company an initial franchise
or license fee plus a weekly royalty and service fee of either 4.5% or 6.0%
of the restaurants' gross receipts, depending on the duration of the
franchise agreement. The initial franchise and license fees are recorded as
income as related restaurants begin operations. Royalty and service fees,
which are based on restaurant sales of franchisees and licensees, are
recognized as earned. Franchise fees received prior to the opening of the
restaurant are deferred and included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheets. At September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001, total deferred
franchise and license fees were approximately $958,500 and $1,050,000,
respectively.
Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments --
Unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements, the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments
approximate their fair values.
Benefit Plans --
The determination of obligations and expenses under the Company's retirement
and post retirement benefit plans is dependent on the selection of certain
assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, actual results that differ
from assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and
therefore, generally affect our recognized expense and the recorded
obligation in such periods. Significant differences in actual experience or
significant changes in the assumptions used may materially affect the pension
and post retirement obligations and future expenses.
Use of Estimates --
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications--
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements
to conform with the 2002 presentation.
Income Taxes --
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company revised its estimate of certain
tax liability contingencies resulting in a reduction of income tax expense
of $200,000.
New Accounting Pronouncements --
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," referred to herein as SFAS 145.
SFAS 145 rescinds Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4,
"Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt" ("SFAS 4"), which
required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated
and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related
income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The
provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. During the first, second and third quarters of 2002, prior to
the required adoption of SFAS 145, the Company reported extraordinary charges
aggregating $2,886,000 associated with the extinguishment of the Company's
debt. Under SFAS 145, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was
classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods that does not meet the
criteria in APB 30 for classification as an extraordinary item shall be
reclassified. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 145 on January 1, 2003.
Accordingly, in financial reporting periods after adoption, the extraordinary
charges reported in the first, second, and third quarters of 2002 will be
reclassified.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities"
("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs
associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)" ("Issue 94-3"). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as
generally defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early
application encouraged. Adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
2. SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
The Company's subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
Notes (See Note 4) of the Company. The guarantees do not restrict the ability
of the subsidiary guarantors to declare dividends, or make loans or advances
to the Company.
As discussed in Note 1, on September 2, 2002, the Company entered into a
letter of intent with Truman Arnold Companies for the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company's fixed base operation in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. The assets of Aviation which were sold subsequent to
September 29, 2002 are classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying
balance sheets and the results of operations for Aviation are classified as
discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements for the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as of September 29, 2002 and
December 30, 2001 and for the nine months ended September 29, 2002 and
September 30, 2001. The equity method has been used by the Company with
respect to investments in subsidiaries.

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has historically operated in three defined reportable segments:
restaurants, franchising, and fixed base airport hanger operations ("FBO").
The restaurant segment consists of the operations of all Company-owned
restaurants and derives its revenues from retail sales of food products to
the general public. The franchising segment consists of franchise sales and
support activities and derives its revenues from fees related to the sales of
franchise and development rights and collection of royalties from franchisees
of the Krystal brand. The FBO operation, which was sold subsequent to the end
of the third quarter and is now referred to as subsidiary held for sale,
consists primarily of aircraft fuel sales and the leasing of aircraft hanger
space. All of the Company's revenues are derived within the United States.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

4. INDEBTEDNESS
Senior Secured Credit Agreement--
0n January 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $25.0 million credit agreement
(the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for $10.0 million in
revolving loan commitments and a $15.0 million term loan commitment, with
maturity dates of June 1, 2004 and January 28, 2007, respectively.
Borrowings under the revolving loan commitment bear interest rates, at the
option of the Company, and depending on the certain financial covenants,
equal to either (a) the greater of the prime rate, or the federal
funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin (which ranges from 0.25% to 2.0%) or
(b) the rate offered in the Eurodollar market for amounts and periods
comparable to the relevant loan, plus a margin (which ranges from 1.75%
to 3.5% and is determined by certain financial covenants).
Borrowings under the term loan commitment bear interest rates equal to the rate
offered in the Eurodollar market for 30 day borrowings, plus an applicable
margin (which ranges from 3.5% to 4.0% and is determined by certain
financial covenants).
The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants including, but not
limited to (a) the Company's required maintenance of a minimum amount of
tangible net worth; (b) the Company's required maintenance of certain levels
of funded debt coverage; (c) limitations regarding additional indebtedness;
(d) the Company's required maintenance of a minimum amount of fixed charges
coverage; (e) limitations regarding consolidated capital expenditures and
(f) limitations regarding liens on assets. The Company was in compliance
with all such covenants during the nine months ended September 29, 2002.
Essentially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral on the
Credit Facility. Additionally, the Credit Facility is guaranteed by Port
Royal through a secured pledge of all of the Company's common stock held by
Port Royal and the common stock of each existing and future subsidiary of the
Company.
Senior Notes--
In September 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million in unsecured 10.25% senior
notes ("the Notes") which mature on October 1, 2007. The Notes pay interest
semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes are redeemable
at the option of the Company at prices decreasing from 105 1/8% of the
principal amount on April 1, 2002 to 100% of the principal amount on
April 1, 2005. Additionally, upon a change of control of the Company, the
holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase
all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the original
principal amount. The proceeds of the Notes were used to fund the acquisition
of the Company by Port Royal.
On December 31, 2001, May 30, 2002 and August 14, 2002, the Company purchased
$27.0 million, $20,000 and $4.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal
amount of its Notes. These Notes were retired resulting in an extraordinary
gain of $2.9 million. The extraordinary gain resulted from retirement
discounts of $5.7 million, offset by fees, taxes and other costs of
approximately $2.8 million.
5. SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTION
On December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a real estate sale and
leaseback transaction in which it sold commercial real property and
improvements of 32 restaurant locations to an unaffiliated third party
and leased the properties back for a period of twenty years. Proceeds from
this transaction were approximately $23,317,000, net of expenses of $950,000.
The Company has the option to extend the leases past the original twenty years
for four additional periods of five years each. The leases are accounted for
as operating leases. The net proceeds of this transaction were used to
repurchase Notes with an aggregate principal of $27.0 million on
December 31, 2001.
The gain that the Company realized on the above real estate transactions was
approximately $4,101,000 and has been deferred and classified in the balance
sheets in Other Long-Term Liabilities, and will be amortized as a reduction
of rental expense over the life of the leases.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. The ultimate disposition of these matters is not presently
determinable but will not, in the opinion of management and the Company's
legal counsel, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company (including the notes thereto)
contained elsewhere in this report.
Cash operating profit --
Cash operating profit (net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and other non-operating gains, losses or expenses) is one of the
key standards used by the Company to measure operating performance. Cash
operating profit is used to supplement operating income as an indicator of
operating performance and cash flows from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity, and not as an alternative to measures defined and required by
generally accepted accounting principles. Cash operating profit may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Cash operating profit for the three months ended September 29, 2002 was $5.4
million compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
an increase of 14.9%. This increase in cash operating profit was primarily
attributable to a decrease in cost of labor and food as a percent of
restaurant sales.
The following table reflects certain key operating statistics which impact the
Company's financial results:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Total systemwide Krystal restaurant sales, which included restaurant sales of
$61.5 million for Company-owned units and $36.8 million for franchised units,
for the three months ended September 29, 2002 increased 4.4% to $98.3 million
compared to $94.2 million for the same period in 2001.
Total Company revenues increased $78,000 to $63.5 million in the three months
ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was
comprised of a $226,000 increase in royalty and franchise revenue, offset by a
$148,000 decrease in restaurant sales. The decrease in restaurant sales was
primarily due to one fewer Company owned restaurants in operation during the
period and a 0.04% decrease in same restaurant sales for the period. The
Company operated 246 restaurants at September 29, 2002 compared to 247
restaurants at September 30, 2001.
Company-owned same restaurant sales decreased 0.04%, compared to the same
period in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in
restaurant volume, offset by an increase in average check amount for the three
months ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The
average customer check for Company owned restaurants increased 2.58% to $4.77
for the three months ended September 29, 2002, compared to $4.65 for the same
period in 2001. This increase resulted primarily from price increases
implemented by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Franchise fee income was $257,000 in the three months ended September 29, 2002
compared to $173,000 in the same period in 2001. The increase in franchise
fees, which are collected upon the opening, transfer or renewal of new
franchise restaurants, related primarily to renewals and extensions of
franchise agreements. The Company's franchisees opened five franchised
restaurants in the three months ended September 29, 2002. During the three
months ended September 30, 2001, franchisees opened five new restaurants and
re-opened four additional restaurants that had been temporarily closed. There
were no franchise fees associated with the re-opened restaurants. Royalty
revenue increased 9.2% to $1.7 million in the three months ended
September 29, 2002 from $1.5 million in the same period in 2001. The increase
in royalty revenue, which is earned based on a percentage of sales by
franchise restaurants, was due to a 13.3% increase in franchise restaurant
sales resulting from an increase in the number of franchise restaurants in
operation. The franchise system operated 177 restaurants at
September 29, 2002 compared to 155 at September 29, 2001.
Cost of restaurant sales was $50.6 million for the three months ended
September 29, 2002 compared to $52.1 million for the same period in 2001.
Food and paper costs as a percent of restaurant sales decreased to 30.3% in
the three months ended September 29, 2002 from 32.8% in the same period in
2001. The decrease in food and paper costs as a percent of restaurant sales
resulted primarily from improved restaurant level controls over food and paper
usage, a shift in menu mix to higher margin offerings and the effect of the
Company's 1.4% price increase effected in the fourth quarter of 2001. Direct
labor as a percent of restaurant sales decreased to 22.0% for the three months
ended September 29, 2002 from 22.6% for the same period in 2001. Average
hourly wage increased 0.6% to $6.37 for the three months ended
September 29, 2002 from $6.33 for the same period in 2001. This increase
was more than offset by operating efficiencies from improvements in the
utilization of store level labor tracking systems.
Advertising expense was $2.6 million in the three months ended
September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001. Advertising expense is accrued
based on 4.2% of restaurant sales and will vary with the volume of such sales.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $795,000, or 22.4%, to $2.7
million in the three months ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in
depreciation as a result of the sale and leaseback of 32 restaurants on
December 31, 2001 and the elimination of goodwill amortization expense
resulting from the adoption by the Company of SFAS 142 as of
December 31, 2001. Goodwill amortization expense for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 was approximately $491,900.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 29, 2002 was $4.5 million compared to $3.9 million for the same
period in fiscal 2001. The increase resulted primarily from an increase
of approximately $579,000 in accruals for the management incentive plan,
and an increase of approximately $106,000 in expense associated with the
Company's defined benefit plan. In the first nine months of 2001, the
Company's performance failed to meet the criteria for payment of management
incentive bonuses and, accordingly, no provision was made for such bonuses.
In the first nine months of 2002, the Company's year-to-date performance
warranted an accrual for the anticipated payment of such bonuses.
The increase in expense associated with the defined benefit plan resulted
from the actuarial impact of lower investment returns and lower interest
rates assumed in the actuarial valuation performed for fiscal 2002 compared
to the 2001 valuation. Because the Company's defined benefit plan is
currently over funded under the requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Act of 1974, the increase in expense does not impact the
Company's funding policy for the defined benefit plan.
Other expenses, net, increased $176,000, or 88.0%, to $376,000 in the three
months ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This
increase resulted primarily from a $496,200 charge for the impairment of
certain assets in the three months ended September 29, 2002 compared to a
$344,900 charge in the same period of 2001.
The Company recognized a $69,000 loss on sale of assets for the three months
ended September 29, 2002 compared to a loss of $48,000 for the same period in
2001. The loss in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 resulted from the sale of
non-operating properties.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $881,000 to $2.3 million in
the three months ended September 29, 2002 from $3.2 million in the same period
in 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the Company's retirement of
$31.0 million of the Notes during fiscal 2002 and lower borrowings under its
Credit Facility during the quarter ended September 29, 2002.
The Company's income taxes benefit from continuing operations decreased for
the three months ended September 29, 2002 by $719,000, to a $63,000 expense
from a $656,000 benefit, in the same period in 2001.
In the quarter ended September 29, 2002, the Company recognized an
extraordinary gain of $174,000, net of income taxes of $106,000, resulting
from the repurchase and retirement $4.0 million aggregate principal amount
of the Company's Notes.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2002
------------------------------------------------------
to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
-------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Total systemwide Krystal restaurant sales, which included restaurant sales of
$185.5 million for Company-owned units and $107.3 million for franchised
units, for the nine months ended September 29, 2002 increased 6.0% to $292.8
million compared to $276.2 million for the same period in 2001.
Total Company revenues increased 1.1% to $191.4 million in the nine months
ended September 29, 2002 compared to $189.4 million in the same period in 2001.
The $2.0 million increase was comprised of a $1.2 million increase in
restaurant sales and a $824,000 increase in royalty and franchise revenue.
The increase in restaurant sales was primarily due to an increase in sales
volumes and check average, resulting in an increase in same restaurant sales.
The Company operated 246 restaurants at September 29, 2002 compared to 247
restaurants at September 29, 2001.
Company-owned same restaurant sales increased 1.4%, compared to the same period
in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average
check amount, offset by a decrease in sales volumes, for the nine months ended
September 29, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The average customer
check for Company owned restaurants increased 2.2% to $4.74 for the nine
months ended September 29, 2002, compared to $4.64 for the same period in 2001.
This increase resulted primarily from price increases of approximately 1.4%
implemented by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2001 and a shift in menu
mix to higher priced offerings.
Franchise fee income was $854,000 in the nine months ended September 29, 2002
compared to $676,000 in the same period in 2001. The increase
in franchise fees, which are collected upon the opening, transfer or renewal
of franchise restaurants, related primarily to the collection of franchise
renewals, transfer, and extension fees, offset by a reduction in the number
of franchise restaurants opened in the first nine months of 2002 compared to
2001. Franchise renewal, transfer and extension fees were approximately
$304,000 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $26,000 in the same
period in 2001. The Company's franchisees opened 17 franchised restaurants
in the nine months ended September 29, 2002 compared to 24 in the same period
in 2001. Royalty revenue increased 14.8% to $5.0 million in the nine months
ended September 29, 2002 from $4.4 million in the same period in 2001. The
increase in royalty revenue, which is earned based on a percentage of sales
by franchise restaurants, was due to a 16.7% increase in franchise restaurant
sales resulting primarily from an increase in the number of franchise
restaurants in operation. The franchise system operated 177 restaurants at
September 29, 2002 compared to 155 at September 30, 2001.
Cost of restaurant sales was $151.3 million for the nine months ended
September 29, 2002 compared to $156.3 million for the same period in 2001.
Food and paper costs as a percent of restaurant sales decreased to 30.4% in the
nine months ended September 29, 2002 from 32.6% in the same period in 2001.
The decrease in food and paper costs as a percent of restaurant sales resulted
primarily from improved restaurant level controls over food and paper usage
and the effect of the Company's 1.4% price increase effected in the fourth
quarter of 2001. Direct labor as a percent of restaurant sales decreased
to 21.9% in the first nine months of 2002 from 23.0% in the same period in
2001. Average hourly wage increased 0.3% to $6.36 for the first nine months
of 2002 from $6.34 for the first nine months of 2001. This increase was more
than offset by operating efficiencies gained with increased sales volumes and
improvements in the utilization of store level labor tracking systems.
Advertising expense increased 0.7% to $7.8 million in the nine months ended
September 29, 2002 from $7.7 million in the same period in 2001. Advertising
expense is accrued based on 4.2% of restaurant sales and will vary with
the volume of such sales.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 23.1%, to
$8.2 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in
depreciation as a result of the sale and leaseback of 32 restaurants on
December 31, 2001 and the elimination of goodwill amortization expense
resulting from the adoption by the Company of SFAS 142 as of December 31, 2001.
Goodwill amortization expense for the nine months ended September 29, 2001
was approximately $1.5 million.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 29, 2002 were $13.4 million compared to $11.3 million for the same
period in fiscal 2001. The $2.1 million increase resulted primarily from an
increase of approximately $1.4 million in accruals for the management incentive
plan and an increase of approximately $734,000 in expense associated with the
Company's defined benefit plan. In the first nine months of 2001, the
Company's performance failed to meet the criteria for payment of management
incentive bonuses and, accordingly, no provision was made for such bonuses.
In the first nine months of 2002, the Company's year-to-date performance
warranted an accrual for the anticipated payment of such bonuses.
The increase in expense associated with the defined benefit plan resulted from
the actuarial impact of lower investment returns and lower interest rates
assumed in the actuarial valuation performed for fiscal 2002 compared to the
2001 valuation. Because the Company's defined benefit plan is currently over
funded under the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, the increase in expense does not impact the Company's funding
policy for the defined benefit plan.
Other expenses increased $187,000, or 222.4%, to $129,000 in the nine
months ended September 29, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This
increase resulted primarily from a $496,200 charge to the impairment of
certain assets in the nine months ended September 29, 2001 compared to
$344,900 for the same period in 2001.
The Company recognized an $69,000 loss on sale of assets for the nine months
ended September 29, 2002 compared to gains of $548,000 for the same period in
2001. The loss in the first nine months of 2002 resulted from the sale of
non-operating properties and the gains in same period of 2001 resulted from
the sale of a restaurant to a franchisee and the sale of other non-operating
properties.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $2.5 million to $7.2
million in the nine months ended September 29, 2002 from $9.7 million in the
same period in 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the Company's
retirement of $27.0 million of the Notes on December 31, 2001 and lower
borrowings under its Credit Facility during the nine months ended
September 29, 2002.
The Company's provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the
nine months ended September 29, 2002 increased $2.6 million, to a $0.8 million
tax expense from a $1.8 million tax benefit in the same period in 2001. The
effective rate was 31% in both periods. During the second quarter of 2002,
the Company revised its estimate of certain tax liability contingencies
resulting in a reduction of income tax expense of $200,000.
During the nine months ended September 29, 2002, the Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of $2.9 million, net of income taxes of $1.8 million,
resulting from the repurchase and retirement of approximately $31.0 million
aggregate principal value of the Company's Notes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
The Company does not maintain significant inventory or accounts receivables
since substantially all of its restaurants' sales are for cash. Royalties
from franchisees, which are payable weekly, and other receivables from
franchisees are closely monitored by the Company. The Company typically
receives several weeks of trade credit in purchasing food and supplies which is
standard in the restaurant business. The Company normally operates with
working capital deficits (current liabilities exceeding current assets) and had
a working capital deficit of $17.4 million at September 29, 2002, compared to a
working capital deficit of $11.2 million at December 30, 2001.
Capital expenditures totaled approximately $7.1 million in the nine months
ended September 29, 2002 as compared to $4.8 million in the same period in
2001. The Company opened no new restaurants during the nine months ended
September 29, 2002 or September 30, 2001. Approximately $2.7 million of the
Company's capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2002 resulted
from the purchase of leased assets previously recorded as capital
leases. Management estimates that capital expenditures will be approximately
$1.5 million during the remainder of 2002. Capital expenditures for the
remainder of the current year are expected to include the refurbishment and
remodeling of certain restaurants, ongoing capital improvements, and the
implementation of new restaurant cash register systems.
On December 31, 2001, May 28, 2002 and August 14, 2002, the Company purchased
$27.0 million, $20,000 and 4.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal
amount of its Notes. These Notes were retired resulting in an extraordinary
gain of $2.9 million. The extraordinary gain resulted from retirement
discounts of $5.6 million, offset by fees, taxes and other costs of
approximately $2.7 million.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company exercised its option to purchase
certain leased assets that were previously classified as capital leases on the
balance sheet. The assets were purchased for $2.7 million.
0n January 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $25.0 million credit agreement
(the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for $10.0 million in
revolving loan commitments and a $15.0 million term loan commitment, with
maturity dates of June 1, 2004 and January 28, 2007, respectively.
At September 29, 2002, the Company had available cash of approximately $8.6
million, receivables of $1.6 million, and $6.9 million available under the
Company's line of credit. In the opinion of management, these funds and funds
from operations will be sufficient to meet operating requirements, anticipated
capital expenditures and other obligations for the foreseeable future.
On October 17, 2002, the Company completed its sale of substantially all of the
assets of its fixed based hangar operations to Truman Arnold Companies for
$10.8 million. The Company expects that after taxes, fees and expenses the
estimated net proceeds from the sale will be approximately $7.0 million.
Approximately $2.4 million of the net proceeds was used to retire
outstanding senior debt, with the balance of the net proceeds being retained
by the Company for future capital expenditures or further reduction of
indebtedness.
The following table represents the Company's outstanding contractual
obligations of the types described below at September 29, 2002, excluding
letters of credit of approximately $3.5 million. The letters of credit are
maintained primarily to support the Company's insurance program and are
renewed on an annual basis.
