NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
----------------------------------------------------------------
BANKRUPTCY FILING
On December 15, 1995, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee for the purpose
of completely and finally resolving the various claims filed against the
Company by current and former employees alleging violations of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA). Four pending lawsuits filed against
the Company under the FLSA were stayed by the bankruptcy filing.
Subsequent to December 29, 1996, the Company and the majority of the FLSA
plaintiffs reached a settlement providing for the payment of approximately
$13,000,000 for the FLSA claims and related legal costs. A plan of
reorganization, as amended (the "Plan") was formally filed on
February 24, 1997. On April 10, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the
Company's plan of reorganization and on April 23, 1997, the Plan became
effective.
PENDING MERGER WITH PORT ROYAL HOLDINGS, INC.
As previously announced, on July 3, 1997 the Company agreed to be acquired
by Port Royal Holdings, Inc. ("Port Royal"), a privately held company located
in Atlanta, Georgia. The acquisition will be completed by the merger of a
subsidiary of Port Royal into the Company. Under the terms of the
agreement and plan of merger, Port Royal will pay total cash consideration of
approximately $108.5 million, or $14.50 per share, to the shareholders of
the Company.
The proposed merger, which is subject to approval by the shareholders of the
Company, is expected to be completed prior to the end of the third quarter
of 1997. In connection with the merger, holders of approximately 53 percent
of the Company's outstanding shares have granted Port Royal an option to
purchase their shares, and have further agreed to vote their shares in favor
of the merger.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
-------------------------------------------------
Condition and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 29, 1997
--------------------------------------------------
to the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
--------------------------------------
Total revenues increased 4.0% to $63.3 million for the second quarter of
1997 from $60.9 million for the same period of 1996. Increases in restaurant
sales accounted for the entire $2.4 million increase. Company-owned average
same restaurant sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $246,000 compared to
$234,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 5.1%. The Company's
management believes the 1997 second quarter revenues increase can be
attributed to several factors, including price increases, new advertising and
promotional programs and continuing improvements in operations at the
restaurant level. The Company had 249 restaurants open at the end of the
second quarter of 1997 compared to 251 at the end of the second quarter
of 1996.
Franchise fees and royalties increased $126,000 to $905,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 versus the same period in 1996. The franchise system
had 93 restaurants open at the end of the second quarter of 1997
compared to 84 open at the end of the second quarter of 1996. This
increase in franchise fees and royalties is a result of the increase in
franchised restaurants.
Other revenue, which comes from the Company's aviation subsidiary, was
$1.2 million in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $1.3 million in
the second quarter of 1996. This decline in revenues was a result of
discontinued maintenance service.
The average customer check for Company-owned full size restaurants in
the second quarter of 1997 was $3.78 as compared to $3.52 in the same
period of 1996, an increase of 7.4%. The average customer check for
Company-owned double drive-thru restaurants in the second quarter of
1997 was $4.12 as compared to $3.82 in the same period of 1996, an
increase of 7.9%. The increases in average customer check are due to
product prices increasing approximately 3.7% in the second quarter of
1997 over the same period in 1996, and the introduction of new promotional
products and menu combinations. Customer counts per restaurant day decreased
to 708 in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 721 in the same period of
1996, a decrease of 1.8%.
Cost of restaurant sales increased $1.5 million, approximately 3.1%, to
$50.0 million in the second quarter of 1996, from $48.5 million in the
same period of 1996. Cost of restaurant sales as a percentage of
restaurant sales decreased to 81.7% in the second quarter of 1997 from
82.3% in the same period of 1996. These increases are primarily the result
of increases in food and paper costs and labor expenses that the Company was
able to pass through to customers with offsetting product price increases.
Total food and paper costs were $19.8 million in the second quarter of 1997
as compared to $18.3 million in the second quarter of 1996. Food and paper
costs as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 32.3% in the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to 31.1% in the same period of 1996. Direct labor
cost increased $209,000 in the second quarter of 1997, approximately
1.6%, to 21.92% of restaurant sales in the second quarter of 1997 as compared
to 22.5% in the second quarter of 1996. Assistant restaurant manager labor
cost increased $167,000, approximately 6.4%. Assistant restaurant manager
labor cost as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 4.5% in the second
quarter of 1997 from 4.4% in the same period of 1996. In an effort to improve
restaurant performance, the number of assistant managers has been increased to
improve training and supervision with an offsetting decrease in direct labor.
Restaurant manager labor cost increased $50,000, approximately 2.7%, due to
average salary increases for the second quarter of 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $127,000, approximately
4.5%, to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $2.8
million for the same period in 1996. This decrease in the second
quarter of 1997 is due to some assets being fully depreciated in late
1996.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $7.1 million in
the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $6.5 million for the same period
in 1996. Advertising expense was approximately $2.6 million in the second
quarters of 1997 and 1996. Advertising expense as a percentage of restaurant
sales was 4.2% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 4.4% in the same
period of 1996. Salaries increased $270,000, approximately 14.3%, to
$2.2 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $1.9 million in the same
period of 1996. This increase in salaries was primarily the result of
accruing $231,000 for profit incentive bonuses in 1997; none were accrued
in 1996 as there was a year-to-date net loss.
In accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Company is
expensing Reorganization Items as incurred. The total of professional fees
and expenses relating to the reorganization during the second quarter of
1997 was $343,000 as compared to $545,000 for the same period in 1996.
A reducing adjustment of $331,000 in interest related to certain pre-petition
liabilities, net, resulted in $278,000 in income during the second quarter of
1997 compared to an expense of $146,000 in the same period of 1996.
Provision for income taxes increased to $676,000 in the second quarter
of 1997 from $264,000 in the same period of 1996. The effective tax
rate of 38.0% is the approximate combined statutory federal and state
income tax rates.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 29, 1997
------------------------------------------------
to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
------------------------------------
Total revenues increased 3.3% to $122.5 million for the first half of
1997 from $118.6 million for the same period of 1996. Increases in restaurant
sales accounted for $3.7 million of this $3.9 million increase. Company-owned
average same restaurant sales for the first half of 1997 were $478,000
compared to $456,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 4.8%. The
Company's management believes the 1997 first half revenues increase can be
attributed to several factors, including price increases, new advertising and
promotional programs, continuing improvements in operations at the restaurant
level and the mild weather in the southeast in the first quarter 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996. The Company had 249 restaurants open
at the end of the first half of 1997 compared to 251 at the end of the first
half of 1996.
Franchise fees and royalties increased $223,000 to $1.7 million in the
first half of 1997 versus the same period in 1996. The franchise system
had 93 restaurants open at the end of the first half of 1997 compared to
84 open at the end of the same period in 1996. This increase in
franchise fees and royalties is a result of the increase in franchised
restaurants.
Other revenue, which comes from the Company's aviation subsidiary, was
$2.4 million in the first half of 1997 and 1996.
The average customer check for Company-owned full size restaurants in
the first half of 1997 was $3.75 as compared to $3.49 in the same period
of 1996, an increase of 7.4%. The average customer check for
Company-owned double drive-thru restaurants in the first half of 1997
was $4.08 as compared to $3.81 in the same period of 1996, an increase
of 7.1%. The increases in average customer check are due to product
prices increasing approximately 3.5% in the first half of 1997 over the
same period in 1996, and the introduction of new promotional products and
menu combinations. Customer counts per restaurant day decreased to 691 in
the first half of 1997 compared to 703 in the same period of 1996, a
decrease of 1.7%.
Cost of restaurant sales increased $2.3 million, approximately 2.4%, to
$97.5 million in the first half of 1997, from $95.2 million in the same
period of 1996. Cost of restaurant sales as a percentage of restaurant
sales decreased to 82.3% in the first half of 1997 from 83.0% in the
same period of 1996. These increases are primarily the result of
increases in food and paper costs and labor expenses that the Company
was able to pass through to customers with offsetting product price increases.
Total food and paper costs were $38.1 million in the first half of 1997 as
compared to $36.1 million in the first half of 1996. Food and paper costs as
a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 32.2% in the first half of 1997
as compared to 31.5% in the same period of 1996. Direct labor cost
increased $217,000 in the first half of 1997, approximately 0.8%, to
22.2% of restaurant sales in the first half of 1997, versus 22.7% in the
same period of 1996. Assistant restaurant manager labor cost increased
$416,000, approximately 8.0%. Assistant restaurant manager labor cost
as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 4.8% in the first half
of 1997 from 4.6% in the same period of 1996. In a effort to improve
restaurant performance, the number of assistant managers has been
increased to improve training and supervision with an offsetting
decrease in direct labor. Restaurant manager labor cost increased
$33,000, approximately 0.9%, due to average salary increases for the
first half of 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $307,000, approximately
5.5%, to $5.3 million in the first half of 1997 as compared to $5.6
million for the same period in 1996. This decrease in the first half of
1997 is due to some assets being fully depreciated in late 1996.
General and administrative expenses increased by $842,000, approximately
6.5%, to $13.8 million in the first half of 1997 versus $13.0 million in
the same period of 1996. Advertising expense was approximately $5.0
million in the first half of 1997 and 1996. Advertising expense as a
percentage of restaurant sales was 4.2% in the first half of 1997 compared
to 4.4% in the same period of 1996. Salaries increased $258,000 approximately
6.8%, to $4.1 million in the first half of 1997 from $3.8 million in the same
period of 1996. This increase in salaries was primarily the result of
accruing $231,000 for profit incentive bonuses in 1997; none were accrued
in 1996 as there was a year-to-date net loss.
In accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Company is
expensing Reorganization Items as incurred. The total of professional fees
and expenses relating to the reorganization during the first half of 1997
was $1.1 million as compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 1996.
A reducing adjustment of $331,000 in interest related to certain pre-petition
liabilities, net, resulted in $96,000 in income during the first half of 1997
compared to an expense of $314,000 in the same period of 1996.
Provision for income taxes increased to $649,000 in the first half of 1997
as compared to an income tax benefit of $191,000 for the same period in 1996,
when the Company recorded a net loss for the period. The effective tax rate
of 38.0% is the approximate combined statutory federal and state income
tax rates.

amount of $354,000 pre-tax and $220,000 after-tax was recorded in the first
half of 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The terms and provisions of the Company's reorganization plan were approved by
the Bankruptcy Court on April 10, 1997 and became effective April 23, 1997.
The confirmed plan provided for the following:
- --term loans of $10.0 million and $20.0 million and a revolving loan of
$23.0 million effective April 23, 1997, and maturing April 23, 2002;
- --the payment of senior debt and secured debt totaling approximately $38.6
million along with all past due interest and additional interest at 1.3%
per annum;
- --the settlement of approximately 6,000 FLSA claims totaling about $12.6
million with pro se claims settled for approximately $100,000; and
- --the payment of holders of approximately $7.6 million of trade claims of
100% of their claims with interest at 8.5% per annum for the period
December 15, 1995 - April 23, 1997.
The Company does not maintain significant inventory or accounts
receivables since substantially all of its restaurants' sales are for
cash. Like many restaurant businesses, the Company receives several weeks
of trade credit in purchasing food and supplies. The Company's receivables
from franchisees are closely monitored and collected weekly. The Company
normally operates with working capital deficits (current liabilities exceeding
current assets), and had a working capital deficit of $4.3 million at
June 29, 1997 compared to a working capital surplus of $14.8 million at
June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, approximately $26.9 million of liabilities
classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise during Chapter 11 status, would
otherwise have been classified as Current Liabilities.
Capital expenditures totaled approximately $3.9 million in the first
half of 1997 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 1996. The
Company opened no new restaurants during the first half of 1997 or the first
half of 1996. Approximately $7.6 million is budgeted for capital expenditures
in 1997 for refurbishing of certain restaurants and ongoing capital
improvements. The Company owns 53.8% of its restaurant sites and leases the
remainder.
After payment of substantially all the Chapter 11 claims during the second
quarter of 1997 and refinancing its long-term debt, the Company had available
cash of approximately $4.8 million and a revolving loan facility of $23.0
million of which approximately $4.0 million was used for letters of credit and
the balance was available for borrowing. The term loans are payable in
installments through April, 2002, and the revolving loan availability decreases
to $20.0 million June 30, 1998, and is due April, 2002. The term loans and the
revolving loan are floating rate loans. Management believes funds from
operations, existing cash and the available credit facility will be
sufficient to meet its operating requirements, anticipated capital
expenditures and other obligations for the foreseeable future.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item l. Legal proceedings
On December 15, 1995, the Company filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, for the purpose
of completely and finally resolving the various claims filed against the
Company by current and former employees alleging violations of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA).
In early 1997, the Company and a majority of the FLSA plaintiffs reached a
settlement providing for the payment of approximately $13,000,000 for FLSA
claims and related legal costs. A plan for reorganization was filed on
February 24, 1997. On April 23, 1997, after confirmation by the Bankruptcy
Court, the plan of reorganization became final resulting in the satisfaction
of the FLSA claims.
The Company is party to other 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, have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
