SILVER DINER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 25, 1999 AND APRIL 19, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Silver Diner,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Diner
Development, Inc. ("SDDI"), (collectively the "Company") 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 sixteen week period ended April 25, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending January 2, 2000. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 1999.
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
On April 3, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5 "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up
Activities". SOP No. 98-5 requires that costs associated with start-up
activities, such as opening a new facility, be expensed as incurred. This SOP is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998, however, early application is encouraged.
Prior to the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 1998, the Company has capitalized
preopening costs, including payroll, employee recruitment and advertising,
incurred in the restaurant start-up and training period prior to the opening of
each restaurant, and amortized these costs over twelve months from the date of
opening. For the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 1998, the Company elected early
application of SOP 98-5. As a result of the early application, all preopening
costs capitalized as of December 28, 1997 have been expensed and recorded as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the sixteen weeks
ended April 19, 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE
Certain information included herein contains statements that are
forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion and
other business development activities as well as operating costs, capital
spending, financial sources and the effects of competition. Such forward-looking
information is subject to changes and variations which are not reasonably
predictable and which could significantly affect future results. Accordingly,
such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of the Company. These changes and variations which could
significantly affect future results include, but are not limited to, those
relating to development and construction activities, including delays in opening
new Diners, acceptance of the Silver Diner concept, the quality of the Company's
restaurant operations, the adequacy of operating and management controls,
dependence on discretionary consumer spending, dependence on existing
management, inflation and general economic conditions, and changes in federal or
state laws or regulations.
GENERAL
The Company currently operates ten Silver Diners in the Washington/Baltimore
metropolitan area and one in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Currently, there are no
Silver Diners under construction. The Company is pursuing additional locations
in the Philadelphia/Southern New Jersey market and throughout the Mid-Atlantic
region. Longer term, the Company plans to expand the Silver Diner chain
nationwide through additional openings of Company-owned restaurants and possibly
through the development of franchise or joint venture relationships.

Net Loss (3.7%) (9.3%)
=========== ===========
Net sales for the 16 weeks ended April 25, 1999 ("First Quarter 1999") increased
by $440,797, or 5.3%, to $8,719,730, compared to $8,278,933 for the 16 weeks
ended April 19, 1998 ("First Quarter 1998"). Comparable store sales (sales for
Silver Diners open throughout both periods being compared, excluding the initial
six months of operations during which sales are typically higher than normal) in
First Quarter 1999 increased 8.3% compared to the first quarter of 1998.
Contributing to the increase in First Quarter sales was a 6.8% increase in
customer count and a 1.1% increase in average check.
Customer counts in First Quarter 1999 continued to be favorably impacted by the
Company's 110% guarantee program, which was initiated in the second quarter of
1998. This program guarantees that: 1) every Silver Diner restaurant will be
sparkling clean; 2) all food will be delivered hot and in a timely manner; 3)
all orders will be accurately prepared to the guests' specifications. Average
check in First Quarter 1999 was favorably impacted by various menu design
changes begun in March 1998, such as an increase in the number of Silver Diner
entree selections, which resulted in a slight increase in higher-priced entree
sales and a corresponding decrease in lower-priced sandwich offerings. The
Company also experienced higher add-on sales for items such as beverages and
side items in First Quarter 1999, as a result of more prominent positioning on
the Company's menus. The Company also benefited from the impact of a holiday
mail campaign.
8
Cost of sales (primarily food and beverage cost) decreased by $46,089, or 2.0%,
to $2,266,815 in First Quarter 1999 from $2,312,904 in First Quarter 1998. Cost
of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.0% in First Quarter 1999,
compared to 27.9% in First Quarter 1998 as a result the Company's continuing
efforts to refine its menu offering and control food costs.
Labor, which consists of restaurant management and hourly employee wages and
bonuses, payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance, group health insurance
and other benefits, increased by $117,099, or 4.1%, to $2,980,644 in the First
Quarter 1999 from $2,863,545 in the First Quarter 1998. Labor as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 34.2% in First Quarter 1999 from 34.6% in First Quarter
1998.
Operating expenses, which consist of all restaurant operating costs other than
labor and occupancy, including supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance and
advertising, increased by $59,553, or 4.3%, to $1,435,595 in the First Quarter
1999 from $1,376,042 in the First Quarter 1998. Operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 16.5% in First Quarter 1999 from 16.6% in
First Quarter 1998.
Occupancy, which is composed primarily of rent, property taxes and property
insurance, increased by $17,194, or 2.0%, to $885,594 in the First Quarter 1999
from $868,400 in the First Quarter 1998, due primarily to normal rent
escalations. Occupancy as a percentage of net sales decreased to 10.2% in First
Quarter 1999 from 10.5% in First Quarter 1998.
Restaurant depreciation and amortization decreased $30,058, or 7.6%, to $366,423
in First Quarter 1999 compared to $396,481 in First Quarter 1998 due to a Fourth
Quarter 1998 reduction in the Company's asset base. Prior to First Quarter 1998,
the Company had capitalized all preopening costs and amortized these costs over
a twelve-month period. As a result of the application of SOP No. 98-5, all
preopening costs capitalized as of December 28, 1997 have been expensed and
recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for First
Quarter 1998.
General and administrative expenses include the cost of corporate administrative
personnel and functions, multi-unit management as well as restaurant management
recruitment and initial training, increased by $160,959, in First Quarter 1999
from $866,008 in First Quarter 1998. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses increased to 11.8% in First Quarter 1999 from 10.5% in
First Quarter 1998. This increase was largely related to higher legal and
accounting fees during the first sixteen weeks of 1999 relating to the
preparation of the Company's annual report, 10-K and annual proxy statement, the
reconfiguration of the Company's benefit plans, future location costs, as well
as expenses associated with on-going business activities. The Company's
administrative overhead, as a percentage of net sales, remains above the
industry average primarily due to the cost of the corporate management team
required to support the Company's intermediate and long-term growth plans. As
revenues increase with the addition of new Silver Diners, general and
administrative expenses are expected to decrease as a percentage of net sales.
Investment income decreased by $13,783, or 27.3% in First Quarter 1999, compared
to $50,577 in First Quarter 1998. The decrease is a result of slightly lower
levels of invested cash combined with lower yields. Interest expense decreased
by $2,058, or 21.1%, $7,684 in First Quarter 1999 from $9,742 in First Quarter
1998.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $12,499, or 14.4%, to $99,299 in
First Quarter 1999 compared to $86,800 in First Quarter 1998. Depreciation and
amortization included goodwill amortization expense of approximately $57,000 in
both First Quarter 1999 and First Quarter 1998.
Net loss for the First Quarter 1999 decreased by $464,783, or 59.8%, to $312,497
($0.03 per share on a basic and diluted basis) in First Quarter 1999 compared to
a net loss of $777,280 ($0.07 per share on a basic and diluted basis) in First
Quarter 1998, primarily due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle during the First Quarter 1998. Management expects that the Company
will continue incurring quarterly losses until sufficient revenue is generated
from new units to absorb start-up expenses and the general and administrative
costs associated with developing and running the Company.
9
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 25, 1999, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.4 million,
working capital was approximately $.6 million, the Company had no short-term
investments, $0.3 million of short-term debt and stockholders' equity was
approximately $17.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $800,000 during
First Quarter 1999, due primarily to the sale of all of the Company's short-term
securities and cash generated from first quarter operations.
The Company's principal future capital requirement is expected to be the
development of restaurants. Currently, the typical building, equipment
(including smallwares) and site development cost of a new Silver Diner prototype
is expected to be approximately $1.3 to $1.5 million. However, due to above
average site costs and architectural and design costs, the five Silver Diner
locations opened since December 1995 have averaged approximately $1.8 million
for building, equipment and site costs. The Company is currently endeavoring to
decrease the cost of the Silver Diner prototype for the next restaurant. There
is no assurance that the Company's prototype redesign plans will produce
significant savings in the prototype costs. Land generally will be leased. When
land is purchased, management may pursue a sale-leaseback or debt financing
strategy following the restaurant's opening.
At April 25, 1999, the Company did not have any restaurants under
construction, and as previously announced management does not anticipate opening
its next diner until the year 2000. The Company has been pursuing locations in a
new geographical market, specifically in the Mid-Atlantic area from Richmond to
Southern New Jersey. To that end, the Company opened a new store in Cherry Hill,
New Jersey in November 1997, and is aggressively pursuing several locations in
that market for new store openings. Management is continuing to negotiate to
obtain other sites throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
Management believes that the Company's current capital resources and expected
1999 cash flow will be adequate to construct up to two units. Additional
financing will be required to finance growth in 2000 beyond the next two diners.
The Company has entered into a loan commitment with its lead bank to extend a
$3.0 million line of credit that, if obtained, would be sufficient to fund at
least two additional diners. Should the Company be unable to close on the
financing commitment, management may be forced to limit unit growth.
YEAR2000
The Year2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer equipment,
software and other devices with embedded technology that are date-sensitive may
incorrectly recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions or engage in normal business activities both at the
restaurant and corporate level. The Company is continually evaluating its risk
and the related costs of updating its computer hardware and software to properly
process Year2000 and later dates. This process includes the upgrade of its point
of sale systems, which has been assessed by the vendor as being Year2000
compliant, and engagement of consultants and other contract service providers to
evaluate the preparedness of the Company's information technology systems as
well as non-information technology systems with embedded technology
applications. The Company has identified other areas potentially affected by the
Year2000 issue: credit card processing machines, and the Year2000 compliance of
those entities on which the Company relies for goods and services, such as its
suppliers and bank. The Company expects the cost related to the Year2000 issue
to be between $10,000 and $50,000. In the event that the Company's systems fail
as a result of the Year2000 issue, management believes that the Company's
restaurants will remain operating on a manual basis. The risks associated with
this contingency plan involve the decreased level of operational controls and
the inability to process credit card transactions. The Company cannot currently
estimate the potential cost of this contingency plan, but does not anticipate a
material impact on its business activities.
