TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
-------------------------------------------------
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results
for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in its 2002 Form
10-K. The results of the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending
December 30, 2003.
2. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
---------------------------------------
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, the Company uses the intrinsic
value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures
compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Company's
common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the
stock. The Company's policy is to grant stock options with grant prices equal to
the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Proceeds from
the exercise of common stock options issued to officers, directors and key
employees under the Company's stock option plans are credited to common stock to
the extent of par value and to additional paid-in capital for the excess.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement No. 123, which also requires the information be determined
as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the
fair value of that Statement. The fair value method for these options were
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate ranging from
2.3% to 5.3%; no dividend yields; volatility factor ranging from 0.281 to 0.853;
and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The Company's
pro forma information is as follows:

3. Stock Options
-------------
During the twelve week period ended September 9, 2003, the Company granted
to certain key employees stock options for 22,500 shares of Common Stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $8.54 per share and options to purchase
37,192 shares were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.30 per
share pursuant to its 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.
4. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. The number of weighted averaged
shares outstanding for the twelve week periods ended September 9, 2003 and
September 3, 2002 were 9,753,883 and 9,573,356, respectively; the number of
weighted average shares outstanding for the thirty-six week periods ended
September 9, 2003 and September 3, 2002 were 9,785,127 and 9,007,756,
respectively.
Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to
include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options, if
dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that
outstanding stock options were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises
were used to acquire common shares at an average price during the reporting
period. The number of shares resulting from this computation of diluted earnings
per share for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003 and September 3, 2002
were 10,212,946 and 10,140,017, respectively, and for the thirty-six week
periods ended September 9, 2003 and September 3, 2002 were 10,183,126 and
9,500,124, respectively.

5. New Accounting Standards
------------------------
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 addresses significant issues
relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and develops a
single accounting method under which long-lived assets that are to be disposed
of by sale are measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to
sell. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to
include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be
distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the
ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The Company adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 144 effective December 26, 2001. The Company closed
and abandoned one restaurant on March 31, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, each
restaurant is a component of the entity, and the operations of the closed
restaurant can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and will be
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company. Accordingly, the
operations of the closed restaurant, net of applicable income tax effect, have
been presented as discontinued operations.
6. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
Certain former employees have filed a complaint on their own behalf and on
the behalf of similarly situated persons alleging the Company violated certain
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Management of the Company is of the
opinion that any resulting liability will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial statements.
7. Note Payable
------------
The Company's note payable (line of credit) with a bank was amended
effective October 1, 2003 resulting in an extension of the terms of the line of
credit by three years. The line of credit now requires monthly payments of
interest only until November 1, 2006, at which time equal monthly installments
of principal and interest are required as necessary to fully amortize the
outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a period of four years. All
other terms of the line of credit remained unchanged.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
---------------------------------------------------------------
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form
10-Q.
As of September 9, 2003, the Company owned and operated 60 restaurants
under the Fox and Hound Smokehouse & Tavern and Fox and Hound English Pub &
Grille ("Fox and Hound"), Bailey's Smokehouse & Tavern, Bailey's Sports Grille
and Bailey's Pub & Grille ("Bailey's") brand names. The Company's restaurants
offer a broad menu of mid-priced appetizers, entrees, and desserts served in
generous portions. In addition, each location features a full-service bar and
offers a wide selection of major domestic, imported and specialty beers. Each
restaurant emphasizes a high energy environment with multiple billiard tables
and satellite and cable coverage of a variety of sporting events and music
videos. In addition to its food, the Company believes that customers are
attracted to the elegant yet comfortable atmosphere of polished brass,
embroidered chairs and booths, hunter green and burgundy walls, and etched
glass. The Fox and Hound and Bailey's restaurants share identical design and
operational principles and menus. As of September 9, 2003, the Company owned and
operated 45 Fox and Hound restaurants and 15 Bailey's restaurants located in
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. As of September 3, 2002, the
Company owned and operated 37 Fox and Hound restaurants and 14 Bailey's
restaurants.
- 8 -
The components of the Company's net sales are food and non-alcoholic
beverages, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other (principally
billiard table rental fees). For the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003, food
and non-alcoholic beverages were 35.0% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were
57.1% of total sales and entertainment and other were 7.9% of total sales. For
the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002, food and non-alcoholic beverages were
33.5% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were 57.7% of total sales and
entertainment and other were 8.8% of total sales.
The components of the Company's cost of sales primarily include direct
costs of food, non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages. These costs are
generally variable and will fluctuate with changes in sales volume and sales
mix.
Components of restaurant operating expenses include operating payroll
and fringe benefits, and occupancy, maintenance and utilities. All but one of
the Company's locations are leased and provide for a minimum annual rent, with
some leases calling for additional rent based on sales volume at the particular
location in excess of specified minimum sales levels.
Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation and
amortization of capital expenditures for restaurants.
Preopening costs include labor costs, costs of hiring and training
personnel and certain other costs relating to opening new restaurants.
General and administrative expenses include all corporate and
administrative functions that support existing operations and provide an
infrastructure to support future growth. Management, supervisory and staff
salaries, employee benefits, travel, information systems, training, rent and
office supplies as well as accounting services fees are major items of costs in
this category.
In calculating comparable restaurant sales, the Company includes a
restaurant in the comparable restaurant base after it has been in operation for
18 full months. As of September 9, 2003, there were 45 restaurants in the
comparable restaurant base. Annualized average weekly sales are computed by
dividing net sales during the period by the number of store operating weeks and
multiplying the result by 52. These calculations include sales and store
operating weeks for the one unit included in discontinued operations.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated (i) the
percentages which certain items included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Operations bear to net sales, and (ii) other selected operating data. The
Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending the last Tuesday in
December. Fiscal year 2002 consisted of 53 weeks and fiscal year 2003 consists
of 52 weeks. Fiscal quarters consist of three accounting periods of 12 weeks
each and a final period of 16 or 17 weeks.

9, 2003 to $25,269,000 from $21,012,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 3,
2002. This increase was due to a 19.3% increase in store weeks (714 versus 600)

September 3, 2002, and was 26.3% of sales for both periods.
Restaurant operating expenses increased $2,528,000 (21.4%) for the twelve
weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $14,353,000 from $11,825,000 in the twelve
weeks ended September 3, 2002, and increased as a percentage of net sales to
56.8% from 56.3%. This increase as a percentage of sales is principally
attributable to higher occupancy costs on new units, higher utility costs, and
higher liability insurance and claims expense offset by lower advertising costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased $297,000 (25.0%) for the twelve
weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $1,485,000 from $1,188,000 in the twelve weeks
ended September 3, 2002, and increased as a percentage of sales to 5.9% from
5.7%. This increase in expense is due to additional depreciation on nine
restaurants opened since September 3, 2002.
Preopening costs increased $56,000 (11.8%) for the twelve weeks ended
September 9, 2003 to $526,000 from $470,000 in the twelve weeks ended September
3, 2002. These costs are attributable to two units that opened during the twelve
weeks ended September 9, 2003 and partial preopening expenses for five
restaurants which have yet to open. Three restaurants were opened in the twelve
weeks ended September 3, 2002.

General and administrative expenses increased $272,000 (23.2%) for the
twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $1,441,000 from $1,169,000 in the twelve
weeks ended September 3, 2002, due to an increase in corporate infrastructure to
support the Company's expansion. General and administrative expenses increased
as a percentage of net sales to 5.7% from 5.6%.
Loss on disposal of assets was $25,000 for the twelve weeks ended September
9, 2003. The losses reflect the disposal of certain point of sale equipment.
Interest expense was $60,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2003
and $62,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002.
The effective income tax rate was 34.1% for the twelve weeks ended
September 9, 2003 and 37.8% for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2002. This
decrease is due primarily to the impact of the credit for social security taxes
paid on tips in excess of minimum wage relative to the amount of income before
taxes.
Thirty-six Weeks Ended September 9, 2003 Compared to Thirty-six Weeks Ended
September 3, 2002
Net sales increased $13,313,000 (20.7%) for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 to $77,558,000 from $64,245,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 3, 2002. This increase was due to a 20.6% increase in store weeks
(2,053 versus 1,703) as a result of nine restaurants opened since September 3,
2002 and a 0.4% decrease in annualized average weekly sales per location.
Comparable restaurant sales decreased 1.9% for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003.
Costs of sales increased $3,303,000 (19.6%) for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 to $20,164,000 from $16,861,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended
September 3, 2002, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 26.0% from 26.2%.
This decrease as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to price
increases implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003.
Restaurant operating expenses increased $7,874,000 (23.5%) for the
thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $41,372,000 from $33,498,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002, and increased as a percentage of net
sales to 53.3% from 52.1%. This increase as a percentage of sales is principally
attributable to higher occupancy costs on new units, higher utility costs, and
higher liability insurance and claims.
Depreciation and amortization increased $992,000 (30.5%) for the thirty-six
weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $4,244,000 from $3,252,000 in the thirty-six
weeks ended September 3, 2002, and increased as a percentage of sales to 5.5%
from 5.1%. This increase in expense is due to additional depreciation on nine
restaurants opened since September 3, 2002.
Preopening costs decreased $137,000 (10.4%) for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 to $1,185,000 from $1,322,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended
September 3, 2002. These costs are attributable to six units that opened during
the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003 and partial preopening expenses for
five restaurants which have yet to open. Nine restaurants were opened in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002.
General and administrative expenses increased $742,000 (21.2%) for the
thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003 to $4,237,000 from $3,495,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002, due to an increase in corporate
infrastructure to support the Company's expansion. General and administrative
expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 5.5% from 5.4%.
- 11 -
Loss on disposal of assets was $42,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 and $18,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002.
The losses reflect the disposal of certain point of sale equipment in the
current fiscal year and video games in the prior fiscal year.
Interest expense was $130,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9,
2003 and $287,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002. This
decrease is due mainly to a lower average balance applicable to the revolving
note payable in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year as
well as a lower interest rate.
The effective income tax rate was 35.6% for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 and 36.8% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2002.
This decrease is due primarily to the impact of the credit for social security
taxes paid on tips in excess of minimum wage relative to the amount of income
before taxes.
Income from discontinued operations was $13,000 for the thirty-six weeks
ended September 3, 2002 applicable to the restaurant closed on March 31, 2002.
Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation
The timing of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations
in quarterly results. The Company expects seasonality to be a factor in the
results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third
quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors
affecting the Company's operations include food, liquor and labor costs. A large
number of the Company's restaurant personnel are tipped employees who are paid
at the federal subminimum wage level; therefore, future subminimum wage changes
will have a significant effect on labor costs. As costs of food and labor have
increased, the Company has historically been able to offset these increases
through economies of scale, improved operating procedures and menu price
changes; however, short-term fluctuations in raw product pricing may have an
impact on the Company's costs of food. To date, inflation has not had a material
impact on operating margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As is customary in the restaurant industry, the Company operates with
negative working capital. Negative working capital decreased $622,000 to
$4,997,000 as of September 9, 2003 from $5,618,000 as of December 31, 2002. This
decrease is attributable primarily to the excess of working capital provided by
operations and net proceeds from the line of credit in excess of the cost of
purchases of property and equipment and repurchases of common stock offset by
the increase in current portion of notes payable of $1,519,000. Cash decreased
$446,000 to $670,000 at September 9, 2003 compared to the balance of $1,116,000
at December 31, 2002. The Company does not have significant receivables or
inventory and receives trade credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing
food and supplies. Because funds available from cash sales are not needed
immediately to pay for food and supplies, or to finance inventory, they may be
considered as a source of financing for noncurrent capital expenditures.
On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Intrust
Bank, N.A. (the "Line of Credit") which provides for a line of credit of
$20,000,000 subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization of the past fifty-two weeks and the amount
of capital lease obligations on personal property. The Line of Credit is secured
by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Line of Credit was amended on
October 1, 2003 resulting in an extension of the terms of the Line of Credit by
three years. The Line of Credit requires monthly payments of interest only until
November 1, 2006, at which time
- 12 -
equal monthly installments of principal and interest are required as necessary
to fully amortize the outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a
period of four years. Interest is accrued at 1/2% below the prime rate as
published in The Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the Line of Credit are being
used for restaurant development. As of September 9, 2003 the Company had
borrowed $7,455,000 under the Line of Credit. The Company is in compliance with
all debt covenants.
Cash flows from operations were $6,884,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003 compared to $7,396,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September
3, 2002. Purchases of property and equipment were $10,955,000 in the thirty-six
weeks ended September 9, 2003 compared to $12,951,000 in the thirty-six weeks
ended September 3, 2002. Advances made to the developer of two build-to-suit
locations were $272,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003. Net
proceeds from the revolving note payable to bank was $4,915,000 for the
thirty-six week period ending September 9, 2003 compared to net repayments of
$9,515,000 for the thirty-six weeks ending September 3, 2002. At September 9,
2003, the Company had $670,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company intends to open ten new locations in fiscal year 2003 and
twelve to fifteen new locations in fiscal year 2004. At September 9, 2003, six
units had been opened in fiscal 2003, four units were under construction, leases
had been executed on three additional sites, and lease negotiations had begun on
seven additional sites. The Company is currently evaluating locations in markets
familiar to its management team. However, the number of locations actually
opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon the ability of the Company
to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases. The Company expects to
expend approximately $15.0 to $23.0 million to open new locations over the next
twelve months.
The Company believes the funds available from the Line of Credit and its
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can
be no assurance, however, that changes in the Company's operating plans, the
acceleration or modification of the Company's expansion plans, lower than
anticipated revenues, increased expenses, stock repurchases, potential
acquisitions or other events will not cause the Company to seek additional
financing sooner than anticipated, prevent the Company from achieving the goals
of its expansion strategy or prevent any newly opened locations from operating
profitably. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
