statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. This information should be
read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Schlotzsky's, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
As a result of the termination of the Turnkey program in the Second
Quarter of 2000, certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed
consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1999, for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1999 and for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 to correspond with the presentation used at September 30,
2000 and for the three months then ended.
NOTE 2. - RESTAURANTS HELD FOR SALE
Prior to the Third Quarter of 2000, the operating results of

NOTE 3. - SEGMENTS
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in franchising and
operating quick service restaurants that feature made-to-order sandwiches with
unique sourdough buns, pizzas and salads. At September 30, 2000, the
Schlotzsky's system included Company-owned and franchised stores in 38 states,
the District of Columbia and 11 foreign countries.
The Company identifies segments based on management responsibility within
the corporate structure. Until termination of its Turnkey program in the Second
Quarter of 2000, the Company had reported a Turnkey Development segment which
included the development of new restaurants. The Restaurant Operations segment
includes the operation of a limited number of Company-owned restaurants for the
purposes of product development, concept refinement, prototype testing, training
and building brand awareness as well as restaurants held for sale. The Franchise
Operations segment encompasses the franchising of stores in order to achieve
optimal success with owner-operated stores, brand licensing, and development of
restaurants for franchisees. For periods prior to the Third Quarter of 2000,
segment disclosures have been reclassified to reflect the current segmentation.
The Company measures segment profit as operating profit, which is defined as
income before interest and income taxes. Segment information and reconciliation
to income before interest and income taxes is as follows (dollars in thousands):

and equipment, and provided for the application to the term note of 75% of the
net cash proceeds from the sale of real estate and restaurants held for sale.
The Company and its affiliate (see Note 6) have received mortgage loan
commitments from other lenders relating to certain restaurants totaling
approximately $6.2 million. The Company expects these mortgages to close by
December 31, 2000 and it expects to use the proceeds to retire the line of
credit.

NOTE 7. - TERMINATION OF TURNKEY PROGRAM
During the Second Quarter of 2000, the Company conducted a strategic
review of its business, particularly its approach to new restaurant development.
Since 1995, the Company has been focusing on the development of larger,
freestanding restaurants. This strategy has been effective in producing growth
for the Schlotzsky's-Registered Tradmark- Deli system, with an approximate 195%
increase in system-wide sales and an approximate 63% increase in average weekly
sales for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995.
The Company had implemented its Turnkey program to support this
growth. The Turnkey program identified and developed sites and constructed
restaurants to be sold to prospective franchisees. Because qualified franchisees
were sometimes not licensed or financed for these sites before construction was
completed, the Company opened and operated certain completed restaurants until
they could be financed and sold to qualified franchisees. As a result, the
Company incurred significant investments in sites under development, real estate
and restaurants held for sale, and notes receivable for construction and
permanent mortgage financing related to these Turnkey projects. This exposed the
Company to significant real estate development risks. In addition, the impact of
the sporadic nature of the completion of the sale and financing of the projects
contributed to volatility of the Company's earnings.
Based on this strategic review, the Company terminated the Turnkey
program during the Second Quarter of 2000, although certain projects in
process will be completed. After June 30, 2000, the Company intends to
develop sites only if either the Company wants to operate a Company-owned
restaurant on the site or a qualified franchisee has obtained third-party
financing to acquire, build and open the site as a Schlotzsky's-Registered
Trademark- Deli restaurant.
Based on this significant change in restaurant development strategy,
the Company conducted a review of all Turnkey related assets to identify those
which did not qualify under the revised restaurant development strategy. The
Company decided to abandon certain pre-development sites, to reduce certain
asset valuations to the proceeds expected to be realized upon their orderly sale
or liquidation over the next twelve months and to establish reserves for
collectibility of certain notes and accounts receivable. As a result of these
actions, a non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $5,340,000 was recorded in
the Second Quarter of 2000. This non-cash charge consisted of the following:
- - Reserves of approximately $2,468,000 were established for collectibility
of certain notes and accounts receivable primarily from highly leveraged
franchisees related to restaurants and sites that were developed by the
Company under the former Turnkey program.
- - Impairment reserves of approximately $1,700,000 were recorded to reduce to
estimated fair market value the carrying value of certain restaurants and
sites which were developed under the Turnkey program and are held for
resale by the Company.
- - A charge of approximately $1,172,000 was recorded on the abandonment of
predevelopment costs incurred for certain sites in the Turnkey program
pipeline, which the Company has determined will not be developed as
Schlotzsky's-Registered Tradmark- Deli restaurants.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
During the Second Quarter of 2000, the Company conducted a strategic
review of its business, particularly its approach to new restaurant development.
Since 1995, the Company has been focusing on the development of larger,
freestanding restaurants. This strategy has been effective in producing growth
for the Schlotzsky's-Registered Tradmark- Deli system, with an approximate 195%
increase in system-wide sales and an approximate 63% increase in average weekly
sales for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995.
The Company had implemented its Turnkey program to support this
growth. The Turnkey program identified and developed sites and constructed
restaurants to be sold to prospective franchisees. Because qualified franchisees
were sometimes not licensed or financed for these sites before construction was
completed, the Company opened and operated certain completed restaurants until
they could be financed and sold to qualified franchisees. As a result, the
Company incurred significant investments in sites under development, real estate
and restaurants held for sale, and notes receivable for construction and
permanent mortgage financing related to these Turnkey projects. This has exposed
the Company to significant real estate development risks. In addition, the
impact of the sporadic nature of the completion of the sale and financing of the
projects contributed to volatility of the Company's earnings.
Based on this strategic review, the Company terminated the Turnkey
program during the Second Quarter of 2000, although certain projects in process
will be completed. After June 30, 2000, the Company intends to develop sites
only if either the Company wants to operate a Company-owned restaurant on the
site or a qualified franchisee has obtained third-party financing to acquire,
build and open the site as a Schlotzsky's-Registered Trademark- Deli restaurant.
Based on this significant change in restaurant development strategy,
the Company conducted a review of all Turnkey related assets to identify those
which did not qualify under the revised restaurant development strategy. The
Company decided to abandon certain pre-development sites, to reduce certain
asset valuations to the proceeds expected to be realized upon their orderly sale
or liquidation over the next twelve months, and to establish reserves for
collectibility of certain notes and accounts receivable. As a result of these
actions, a non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $5,340,000 was recorded in
the Second Quarter of 2000.
As a result of the termination of the Turnkey program, certain
reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 1999, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 to
correspond with the presentation used at September 30, 2000 and for the three
months then ended.
Since the end of the Second Quarter of 2000, the Company has been focusing
on improving its balance sheet, converting its excess real estate assets to
cash, reducing debt, reducing reliance on transactional income while placing
stronger emphasis on the recurring revenue of its core operations, and
continuing to make related adjustments to corporate infrastructure. During this
period, through November 9, 2000, total debt has been reduced by $2.3 million;
sale contracts have been entered into for three parcels of excess real estate
which would generate approximately $1.4 million in net cash proceeds upon
closing; a mortgage commitment has been obtained by a joint venture in which the
Company has a 50% interest which, upon closing, would allow the repayment of an
approximate $2.2 million note to the Company; exploratory discussions have been
held with potential joint venture operating partners and lenders which would
allow for the sale of certain restaurants held for sale in exchange for the
mortgage proceeds and equity interests in the joint ventures; and corporate
headquarters staff has been reduced from 175 to 159 full-time equivalent
employees, and employees have been reassigned from transactional related
activities to activities supporting recurring revenue streams. The Company
expects to continue its focus on these elements of its business plan.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999
REVENUES. Total revenues increased 9.6% from $14,056,000 to
$15,408,000.
ROYALTIES increased 1.6% from $5,631,000 to $5,723,000. The increase
was due to an increase of 7.8% in average weekly sales, reflecting both a
continued shift to the larger restaurant format and an increase of 4.5% in same
store sales during the quarter, partially offset by an average net decrease of
15 royalty paying restaurants
11
operating during the quarter. The Company believes its average weekly sales
and same store sales have been positively impacted by the national television
advertising campaign conducted during the past twelve months.
FRANCHISE FEES decreased 26.8% from $205,000 to $150,000. The decrease was
principally a result of fewer openings of franchised restaurants during the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in
the prior year. The fewer number of openings was principally the result of the
Company's increased emphasis on superior site selection for larger freestanding
restaurants with higher visibility and on more highly qualified franchisees.
DEVELOPER FEES decreased 57.1% from $282,000 to $121,000. The decrease is
largely due to the deferral of amortization into income of deferred developer
fee revenue for certain underperforming international master licensees and area
developers.
RESTAURANT SALES increased 27.1% from $5,428,000 to $6,900,000. This
increase was principally attributable to an increase of three restaurants in
the third quarter of 2000, the inclusion of three restaurants subsequent to
the third quarter of 1999, and the full-period effect of one restaurant
opened during the third quarter of 1999. As of September 30, 2000, there were
28 Company-owned restaurants compared to 22 at September 30, 1999, of which
16 and 10, respectively, were restaurants held for sale.
PRIVATE LABEL LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) increased 16.1% from
$1,712,000 to $1,988,000. This increase was principally the result of the
increasing volume of system-wide sales and growth of the licensing program in
the retail channels of distribution.
OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 34.2% from $799,000 to $526,000. The
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in real estate transaction fees.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. The following table reflects the changes in the
Schlotzsky's-Registered Trademark- Deli system for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. The growth of system-wide sales (which include
sales of both franchised restaurants and Company-owned restaurants) during 1999
and through September 30, 2000, along with the increase in the number of
Company-owned restaurants, were principally responsible for the increased
Company revenues as discussed above.
Prior to the Third Quarter of 2000, "Stores in Operation", as reported by
the Company, included both stores open for business as well as stores
temporarily closed for remodeling or relocation. Beginning this quarter, "Stores
in Operation" will include only stores open for business. Stores temporarily
closed for remodeling or relocation will be included in "Units Opened" when they
reopen. "Units Opened", "Units Closed" and "Stores in Operation" for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 have been restated to reflect this policy.

The Company anticipates 30-35 new store openings over the next four
quarters and expects the rate of store closings to reduce over that period.
EXPENSES. ROYALTIES SERVICE COSTS decreased 19.4% from $1,700,000 to
$1,371,000 and, as a percentage of royalties, decreased from 30.2% to 24.0%.
These decreases were partly the result of the Company's assumption of
territory management responsibility for its largest area developer in
conjunction with an option to buy its territories (exercisable until 2012).
Under this option agreement, net service costs associated with these
territories were equivalent to a 1% royalty rate effective October 31, 1999
and escalate to 2% by August 16, 2004, versus the previous 2.5% rate. The
decreases also reflect the Company's reacquisition and buy-down of rights to
a limited number of additional area developer territories during 1999. Area
developers generally receive royalties at the rate of 2.5% or 1.25% of the
gross revenues of the restaurants in their territories.
FRANCHISE FEES SERVICE COSTS decreased 44.7% from $103,000 to
$57,000, principally as a result of fewer franchised restaurant openings during
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000.
RESTAURANT COST OF SALES, which consists of food, beverage and paper
costs, increased 22.9% from $1,672,000 to $2,055,000, but decreased as a
percentage of restaurant sales from 30.8% to 29.8%. RESTAURANT LABOR COSTS
increased 43.3% from $1,997,000 to $2,861,000, and increased as a percentage
of restaurant sales from 36.8% to 41.5%. RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES
increased 23.5% from $1,297,000 to $1,602,000, but decreased as a percentage
of restaurant sales from 23.9% to 23.2%. The decreases in restaurant cost of
sales and restaurant operating expenses, as a percentage of restaurant sales,
were primarily attributable to operational efficiencies experienced due to
cost controls implemented in the management of Company-owned restaurants. The
increase in restaurant labor cost as a percentage of restaurant sales was
primarily attributable to pre-opening training labor at three stores opened
this quarter compared to one opening in the prior year period, inefficiencies
related to store openings and the implementation of the Company's new health
insurance and other benefits to hourly employees in Company-owned
restaurants. On an overall basis, costs, as a percentage of sales, are higher
at restaurants held for sale and the proportion of restaurants held for sale
to total Company-owned restaurants is higher this quarter compared to the
prior year.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 17.7% from $4,834,000 to
$5,692,000. Salaries and benefits increased $361,000 or 15.9%. The increase
is a result of increase in average salaries and increased benefit costs,
including severance costs, offset by a decrease in average corporate staff
full-time equivalent employees of 4.7%. General and administrative operating
costs increased $467,000 or 19.1%, due primarily to increased travel,
professional and insurance expenses, offset by reduced costs related to real
estate development.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 4.0% from $850,000 to
$884,000. The increases were principally due to the amortization of area
developer territories and other intangibles acquired during 1999 and the
increase in the number of Company-owned restaurants.
13
OTHER. INTEREST INCOME decreased 46.3% from $836,000 to $449,000. This
decrease was primarily the result of a lower level of funds outstanding in the
form of mortgages and interim construction financing under the Company's former
Turnkey program and nonrecognition of interest income on underperforming notes
receivable.
INTEREST EXPENSE increased 62.8% from $686,000 to $1,117,000. This
increase was a result of a greater level of debt outstanding during the current
period, and increases in the weighted average interest rate and bank fees
related to waivers and amendments.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. THE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES reflected
a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 34.0% for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, compared with the effective combined tax rate of 36.9%
for the comparable period in 1999.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999
REVENUES. Total revenues increased 17.9% from $37,999,000 to
$44,807,000.
ROYALTIES increased 5.8% from $16,205,000 to $17,147,000. The
increase was due to an increase of 8.7% in average weekly sales, reflecting both
a continued shift to the larger restaurant format and an increase of 4.8% in
same store sales during the period, partially offset by an average net decrease
of 15 royalty paying restaurants during the nine month period. The Company
believes its average weekly sales and same store sales have been positively
impacted by the national television advertising campaign conducted during the
past 15 months.
FRANCHISE FEES decreased 34.5% from $643,000 to $421,000. The
decrease was principally a result of fewer openings of franchised restaurants
during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the same
period in the prior year. The fewer number of openings was principally the
result of the Company's increased emphasis on superior site selection for larger
freestanding restaurants with higher visibility and on more highly qualified
franchisees.
DEVELOPER FEES decreased 17.3% from $753,000 to $623,000. The decrease is
largely due to the deferral of amortization into income of deferred developer
fee revenue for certain underperforming international master licensees and area
developers. These revenues are normally amortized to income over a ten year
period.
RESTAURANT SALES increased 40.5% from $13,763,000 to $19,337,000. This
increase was principally attributable to the inclusion of six additional
restaurants in the first nine months of 2000 and the full-period effect of
six restaurants opened or acquired in the first nine months of 1999, as well
as increases in average weekly sales and same store sales for Company-owned
restaurants. As of September 30, 2000, there were 28 Company-owned
restaurants, compared to 22 at September 30, 1999, of which 16 and 10,
respectively, were restaurants held for sale.
PRIVATE LABEL LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) increased 20.4%
from $4,514,000 to $5,437,000. This increase was principally the result of the
increasing volume of system-wide sales, the growth of the licensing program in
the retail channels of distribution, and more favorable terms with certain major
suppliers.
OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 13.1% from $2,120,000 to $1,842,000.
The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in real estate transaction fees.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. The following table reflects the changes in the
Schlotzsky's-Registered Trademark- Deli system for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. The growth of system-wide sales (which include
sales of both franchised restaurants and Company-owned restaurants) during 1999
and through September 30, 2000, along with the increase in the number of
Company-owned restaurants, were principally responsible for the increased
Company revenues as discussed above.
Prior to the Third Quarter of 2000, "Stores in Operation", as reported by
the Company, included both stores open for business as well as stores
temporarily closed for remodeling or relocation. Beginning this quarter, "Stores

closed for remodeling or relocation will be included in "Units Opened" when they
reopen. "Units Opened", "Units Closed" and "Stores in Operation" for the three

EXPENSES. ROYALTIES SERVICE COSTS decreased 22.8% from $5,230,000 to
$4,035,000 and, as a percentage of royalties, decreased from 32.3% to 23.5%.
These decreases were partly caused by the Company's assumption of territory
management responsibility for its largest area developer in conjunction with an
option to buy its territories (exercisable until 2012). Under this option
agreement, net service costs associated with these territories were equivalent
to a 1% royalty rate effective October 31, 1999 and escalate to 2% by August 16,
2004, versus the previous 2.5% rate. The decreases also reflected the Company's
reacquisition and buy-down of rights to a limited number of area developer
territories during 1999. Area developers generally receive royalties at the rate
of 2.5% or 1.25% of the gross revenues of the restaurants in their territories.
FRANCHISE FEES COSTS decreased 42.4% from $323,000 to $186,000,
principally as a result of fewer franchised restaurant openings during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.
RESTAURANT COST OF SALES, which consists of food, beverage, and paper
costs, increased 37.6%, from $4,149,000 to $5,711,000, but decreased as a
percentage of restaurant sales from 30.1% to 29.5%. RESTAURANT LABOR COSTS
increased 45.1% from $5,317,000 to $7,713,000, and increased as a percentage
of restaurant sales from 38.6% to 39.9%. RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES
increased 32.0% from $3,348,000 to $4,420,000, but decreased as a percentage
of restaurant sales from 24.3% to 22.9%. The decreases in restaurant cost of
sales and restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales
were primarily attributable to operational efficiencies experienced due to
cost controls implemented in the management of Company-owned restaurants. The
increase in restaurant labor cost as a percentage of restaurant sales was
primarily attributable to the implementation of the Company's new health
insurance and other benefits to hourly employees in Company-owned
restaurants. On an overall basis, costs, as a percentage of sales, are higher
at restaurants held for sale and the proportion of restaurants held for sale
to total Company-owned restaurants is higher this period compared to the
prior year.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 75.4% from $12,985,000 to
$22,778,000. The increase was primarily the result of various charges and
adjustments incurred in the Second Quarter of 2000, which included increases
in reserves for uncollectible accounts of approximately $955,000, primarily
for receivables and current and deferred royalties from financially troubled
franchisees, $542,000 for certain notes receivable from underperforming
international master licensees and approximately $5,340,000 of charges
related to the termination of the Turnkey program, as well as increases of
$1,404,000 or 20% in salaries and benefits due to an increase in average
salaries, increased benefit costs, including severance costs, and a $420,000
decline in capitalized real estate salaries and increases in general and
administrative operating costs of $1,026,000 or 15.8% due to increased
travel, professional and insurance expenses.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 21.2% from $2,272,000 to
$2,754,000. The increases were principally due to the amortization of area
developer territories, and other intangibles acquired during 1999 and the
increase in the number of Company-owned restaurants.
15
OTHER. INTEREST INCOME decreased 16.8% from $2,274,000 to $1,893,000.
This decrease was primarily the result of a lower level of funds outstanding in
the form of mortgages and interim construction financing under the Company's
former Turnkey program and nonrecognition of interest income on underperforming
notes receivable.
INTEREST EXPENSE increased 75.2% from $1,558,000 to $2,729,000. This
increase was a result of a greater level of debt outstanding during the current
period and increases in applicable interest rates during the past year.
PROVISION (CREDIT) FOR INCOME TAXES. THE CREDIT FOR INCOME TAXES
reflected a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 26.3% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, which was lower than the effective combined tax
rate of 36.8% for the comparable period in 1999 due to certain state taxes being
based in part on factors other than income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities was $143,000 for the first nine
months of 2000. The net loss for the period of approximately $2,672,000 was
offset by depreciation and amortization of approximately $2,754,000 and
provisions for uncollectable accounts and asset impairments of approximately
$7,050,000 less credit for deferred taxes of approximately $1,969,000 and
deferred revenue recognized of approximately $830,000. In addition, accounts
receivable increased approximately $1,250,000 due primarily to an increase in
interest receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased
approximately $3,179,000 due to payment of amounts outstanding at December
31, 1999.
Net cash of $2,358,000 was provided by investing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. Issuance and collections on notes
receivable resulted in a net inflow of approximately $7,326,000, primarily
due to payments received on interim financing loans provided by the Company
to facilitate the development of Turnkey program restaurants, less amounts
loaned to the Schlotzsky's National Advertising Association advertising
entity to facilitate the Company's national advertising strategy. Investing
outflows primarily consisted of investment of approximately $1,895,000
primarily for Company-owned restaurants, including the completion of one
store and the remodel of another store, both in Austin, Texas, and
approximately $2,996,000 used to acquire and develop real estate sites under
the discontinued Turnkey program.
Net cash of $5,261,000 was used in financing activities. This net outflow
consisted principally of $13,807,000 repayment of debt financing net of
approximately $6,536,000 borrowed through mortgages on company restaurants and
approximately $1,925,000 borrowed as interim financing for real estate
development projects.
At September 30, 2000, the Company had $35,959,000 of debt outstanding.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 the Company repaid
approximately $11,795,000 on the Credit Agreement established in December
1999. This Credit Agreement consisted of a $20 million term loan facility,
which requires payment ratably through December 2005, and a line of credit
facility, in the original maximum amount of $15 million with scheduled
reduction to the approximate $6.2 million outstanding as of September 30,
2000, which expires on December 31, 2000. The Company and its affiliate have
received mortgage loan commitments from other lenders relating to certain
restaurants totaling approximately $6.2 million. The Company expects these
mortgages to close by December 31, 2000 and it expects to use the proceeds to
retire the line of credit.
Effective as of September 30, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment
to its Credit Agreement with a group of banks. The amendment revised certain
financial covenants, extended the expiration of the line of credit to
December 31, 2000, provided the bank group a security interest in certain
real property and equipment, and provided for the application to the term
note of 75% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of real estate and
restaurants held for sale.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with the
proceeds of the liquidation of the assets of the former Turnkey program,
collections from notes receivable and proceeds from mortgages of Company-owned
stores will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated operating and debt
service cash needs for the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue is a result of many computer programs being written
using two digits, such as "99", to define a year. Date-sensitive software may
recognize the year "00" as the year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This would
result in errors and miscalculations and could result in system failure causing
disruptions in business activities and transactions.
The Company's computer software programs utilize four digits to define the
applicable calendar year and therefore the Company believes that it has no
material internal risk concerning the Year 2000 issue. To date, neither the
Company nor any of its major suppliers have experienced material internal
disruptions. The total costs to the Company of Year 2000 compliance activities
were not material to its financial condition or results of operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "contemplate," "predict," "believe,"
"intend," "plan," "project" and similar expressions and variations thereof are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a
number of places in this Report and include statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers
with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company's
financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Company's business and
growth strategies, including strategies related to new restaurant development;
(iii) the expected impact of national television advertising; (iv) development
of the Company's private label licensing program; and (v) the Company's plans to
obtain and complete additional financing. Shareholders and prospective investors
are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guaranties of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results
may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as
a result of various factors. The accompanying information contained in this
Report including, without limitation, the information set forth under the
headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," and "Liquidity and Capital Resources," as well as
information contained in the Company's other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), identify important factors that could
cause such differences.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Changes in short-term interest rates on loans from financial institutions
could materially affect the Company's earnings because the underlying
obligations are either variable, or fixed for such a short period of time as to
effectively become variable.
At September 30, 2000, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in
interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $232,000 in annual
pre-tax earnings. The estimated decrease is based upon the increased interest
expense of the Company's variable rate debt and assumes no change in the volume
or composition of debt at September 30, 2000. Since the Company's bank loans are
at variable rates, the fair values of the Company's bank loans are not affected
by changes in market interest rates.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to routine litigation in the ordinary course of business,
including contract, franchisee, area developer and employment-related
litigation. In the course of enforcing its rights under existing and former
franchise agreements and area developer agreements, the Company is subject to
complaints and letters threatening litigation concerning the interpretation and
application of these agreements, including references to administration of the
advertising funds, default or termination of franchisees or area developers,
requirements or payments relating to products used in the restaurants (such as
private label licensing), and the Turnkey program. None of these routine
matters, individually or in the aggregate, are believed by the Company to be
material to its business or financial condition.
