As of June 30, 2002, the Company had received commitments for real estate mortgage-secured bank financings of up to approximately $10.0 million. The financings under these commitments closed on August 13, 2002. The proceeds from these financings were used to retire approximately $900,000 of existing mortgage debt on certain properties, repay the entire amount then outstanding under the Company's bank group Credit Agreement (approximately $6.4 million) and provide working capital. The new mortgage debt is as follows (dollars in thousands):
Mortgage notes payable to a bank; interest at 7.5%; monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 20 year amortization through August 2007; secured by three operating Company-owned restaurants | $ | 2,350 | |
Mortgage note payable to a bank; interest at prime; monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 15 year amortization through August 2005; secured by three operating Company-owned restaurants | 2,700 | ||

$ | 9,472 | ||
On a pro-forma basis, assuming this refinancing had occurred as of June 30, 2002, the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2002 would have been $2,226,511 instead of the reported amount of $6,065,058.

Note 7.Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 141, 142 and 144, concerning accounting for business combinations, amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, and the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, respectively. The Company adopted these statements as of January 1, 2002. There was no cumulative impact of these changes in accounting. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 had the effect of decreasing amortization expense and increasing income before provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 by approximately $60,000, and increasing net income and diluted earnings per share by approximately $36,000 and $0.01, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, amortization expense decreased and income before provision for income taxes increased by approximately $121,000, and net income and diluted earnings per share increased by approximately $73,000 and $0.01, respectively.

Note 8.Commitments and Contingencies
Option to Acquire Area Developer Rights
In June 2002, the Company and its largest area developer amended the option agreement pursuant to which the Company may reacquire the territorial rights of the area developer. The Company's option to reacquire the rights was extended to August 30, 2002. The purchase price under the option was changed to $28,850,000, of which nonrefundable deposits totaling $5,082,000 have been paid through August 1, 2002. Upon exercise of the option, the Company must make a $500,000 cash payment and enter into a seller-financed note for $23,268,000. The note will bear interest at 8% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of $520,000 through May 2005. Remaining principal is due in June 2005. In the event the option is not exercised by August 30, 2002, the Company will be required to pay a fee of $1.7 million. Additionally, under an amendment to a management agreement with this area developer, the Company will continue to manage these territories for the area developer through August 31, 2002 for a fee of 50% of the compensation due to the area developer under the area developer agreement.
Litigation
The Company is named a defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings cannot be projected with certainty. The following are proceedings in which the plaintiffs have alleged significant damages. Based on its knowledge of these matters and its experience to date, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Lone Star Ladies Investment Club, a Texas General Partnership, et al, on Behalf of Themselves and All Others Similarly Situated v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., et al, (Case No. A-98CA-550-JN), was filed in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Austin Division on February 8, 1999, as a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its past and present officers and directors. A more detailed description of the lawsuit may be found in Footnote 15 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. On April 2, 2002, the Court granted final approval of the Stipulation of Settlement and Plan of Allocation of Settlement Proceeds, which was funded by the Company's insurer and which settled all claims with prejudice, and entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice.

Kimberly Garland v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., Schenck & Associates, John Wooley, Darrell Kolinek, Kelly Arnold, Joyce Cates, Brian Wieters, David Gerstner and Jeffrey Noeldner, (Case No. 01-CV 2377), was filed on December 26, 2001, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Plaintiff is a franchisee in Apple Valley, Minnesota. She brought claims against the Company, her Area Developer (Noeldner), several officers and past and present employees of the Company (Wooley, Kolinek, Arnold, Wieters, and Cates), her accountant (Gerstner), and his accounting firm. Plaintiff purchased her restaurant pursuant to the Company's Turnkey Program. She claims she was fraudulently induced into participating in the Program. She contends that, at the urging of defendant Noeldner, she submitted cash flow projections, prepared by defendant Gerstner, that were allegedly unreasonable and inflated. Plaintiff alleges that the Turnkey Program was a scheme to promote rapid growth, recognize revenue, and develop restaurants that were not financially viable. The Complaint includes claims of fraudulent and/or negligent misrepresentations and omissions, and alleged violations of the Minnesota Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act ("DTPA"), the Minnesota Franchise Act, and the Texas DTPA. Plaintiff is seeking rescission and actual and compensatory damages of an unspecified amount and attorneys' fees. On May 7, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, to stay the proceedings in order to compel arbitration pursuant to a provision contained in Plaintiff's franchise agreement. The Company denies all of Plaintiff's claims, believes they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.
Robert Coshott v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., (Cause No. GN 1-02279), was filed on July 24, 2001, in the 200th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. Plaintiff is the Master Licensee for Australia and New Zealand, and he opened a Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. In his petition, Plaintiff makes the following allegations: that he experienced problems with certain equipment specified or approved by the Company; that the Company's system and equipment did not generate enough finished food product to service his potential customers; that the Company misrepresented the level of revenue the restaurant could reasonably be expected to achieve; that the Company delayed his ability to develop restaurants by failing to timely secure certain trademarks and trade names; and that the Company misrepresented whether it would allow Plaintiff to franchise Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurants in certain gas station or convenience store locations in his territories. Plaintiff claims these acts constitute fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation and requests actual and punitive damages of $3.75 million plus lost profits and incidental and consequential damages of an unspecified amount. The case is currently set for trial on November 4, 2002. The Company denies all of Plaintiff's claims, believes they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.
Dae W. Kim, DWK Enterprises, Inc. and Aecon International, Inc. v. John Wooley, Schlotzsky's, Inc., Schlotzsky's Franchising Limited Partnership, and Schlotzsky's NAMF, Inc., Schlotzsky's National Advertising Association, Inc. and Schlotzsky's Brands, Inc. (Cause No. 2001-CI-13672), was originally filed in the 73rd Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas, on September 25, 2001, after a similar lawsuit was filed and later withdrawn in Harris County, Texas. Plaintiffs are, or claim to be, franchisees in Houston and San Antonio, Texas, and Plaintiff Kim was an area developer for Houston and San Antonio, Texas. One of the Plaintiff's franchise agreements was terminated for repeatedly failing its Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and Compliance ("QSCC") evaluations prior to the litigation. Plaintiffs allege that the QSCC evaluations and sales audits were harassing and disruptive to business. They also allege that in recent years, the Company favored developing larger, freestanding locations rather than their smaller shopping center restaurants. The complaint includes claims of tortious interference,
13
breach of the duty of good faith, fraud, fraudulent concealment, restraint of trade, violation of the Texas DTPA, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, civil conspiracy, and an accounting of advertising funds. In July 2002 Plaintiffs estimated $4.2 million of actual and $8.4 million of exemplary damages. Defendants' counterclaims include breach of contract, a request for an accounting, and attorneys' fees.
On or about June 26, 2002, the court granted partial summary judgment in favor of the Company and other Defendants. Specifically, summary judgment was granted in favor of Defendants on Plaintiffs' claims of breach of the two area developer agreements, tortious interference, all claims arising prior to March 25, 1998, and all claims of breach of good faith, of violation of the DTPA, and of conspiracy arising prior to September 25, 1999. Defendants deny all of Plaintiff's remaining claims, believe they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
REVENUE. Total revenue decreased 1.0% to $15,903,000 from $16,064,000.
ROYALTIES decreased 8.2% to $5,264,000 from $5,733,000. The decrease was due to a decreased number of franchised restaurants in 2002 compared to 2001 and a decrease in same store sales of 5.5%, partially offset by a continuing shift in restaurant mix towards larger, higher volume units.
FRANCHISE FEES increased 20.0% to $42,000 from $35,000. The increase was principally the result of more openings of franchised restaurants during the three month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in average franchise fee recognized per opening during the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in franchise fee per restaurant opening is due to the Company's incentive program that was initiated at the beginning of 2002 for existing franchisees to open up additional locations during the year.
DEVELOPER FEES decreased 30.2% to $60,000 from $86,000. The decrease is primarily attributed to the expiration of amortization on certain agreements.
RESTAURANT SALES increased 8.1% to $8,269,000 from $7,648,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average number of restaurants operated by the Company during the second quarter of 2002, compared to the second quarter of 2001, partially offset by a 8.2% decrease in same store sales. As of June 30, 2002, there were 35 Company-owned restaurants, compared to 30 at June 30, 2001, of which 20 and 17, respectively, were available for sale.
15
SCHLOTZSKY'S® DELI BRAND LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) increased 1.2% to $1,991,000 from $1,967,000. The increase was primarily due to more favorable terms with certain major suppliers than in the prior year period, a recognition of $151,000 in past due fees from a licensee and an increase in sales through retail channels, partially offset by the effect of the decrease in systemwide sales for the quarter.
OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 53.6% to $276,000 from $595,000. The decrease was due to reduced vendor contributions to conventions and franchisee meetings, a decrease in expired franchise fees, a gain of approximately $141,000 on the sale of a restaurant available for sale recognized in the prior year quarter, and approximately $112,000 in real estate and transaction fees from the former Turnkey program recorded in the prior year quarter.
OPERATING EXPENSES. SERVICE COSTS decreased 7.2% to $1,122,000 from $1,209,000, and as a percentage of royalties and franchise fees increased to 21.1% from 21.0%. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's reacquisition of certain area developer territory rights during the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as a decrease in royalty revenue. The Company expects royalty service costs, as a percentage of royalties, to further decrease in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
RESTAURANT OPERATIONS EXPENSES increased 5.6% to $7,474,000 from $7,075,000. This increase was primarily due to the 8.1% increase in restaurant sales. RESTAURANT COST OF SALES increased 7.7% to $2,312,000 from $2,146,000 and decreased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 28.0% from 28.1%. RESTAURANT PERSONNEL AND BENEFITS COST increased 4.1% to $3,293,000 from $3,164,000 and decreased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 39.8% from 41.4%. The decrease, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was due to improved labor scheduling. RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES increased 5.9% to $1,869,000 from $1,765,000 and decreased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 22.6% from 23.1%. The decrease in operating costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was primarily due to increased operational efficiencies and cost controls, partially offset by higher voluntary contributions to the Austin advertising cooperative. On an overall basis, costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, are higher at restaurants available for sale, and the proportion of restaurants available for sale to total Company-owned restaurants was higher this year than last year.
EQUITY LOSS ON INVESTMENTS increased 23.1% to a loss of $48,000 from a loss of $39,000. The equity investment represents the Company's 50% interest in a limited liability company that operates a Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurant which opened in 2000.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased 3.4% to $4,835,000 from $5,007,000, and decreased to 30.4% from 31.2% as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease from the prior year quarter was principally due to reduced salaries and benefits, reduced property taxes, and reduced provision for uncollectible accounts and impairment of assets, partially offset by increases in professional fees, convention and franchisee meeting expenses, advertising and marketing, and lease guarantee expense.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 4.5% to $1,086,000 from $1,039,000. The increase was primarily due to the amortization of reacquired area developer territory rights and depreciation related to an increase in the average number of Company-owned and operating restaurants during the quarter, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $60,000 in intangible asset amortization expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company expects a further increase in amortization expense in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
16
INTEREST INCOME decreased 64.4% to $95,000 from $267,000. The decrease was due to the decrease in the amount of outstanding notes receivable as well as a decrease in average interest rate during the three month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
INTEREST EXPENSE decreased 7.4% to $655,000 from $707,000 due to reduced debt levels and lower average interest rates, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $47,000 of interest capitalized on Company-owned restaurants under construction as compared to the prior year quarter. The Company expects an increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the seller financed debt related to the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES reflected a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 37.1% for the second quarter of 2002, which was lower than the effective combined tax rate of 40.2% for the comparable period in 2001 primarily due to certain state taxes being based in part on factors other than income.
NET INCOME decreased to $489,000 from $751,000 and decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 3.1% from 4.7% due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, were $0.07 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.10 in the prior year quarter.
Supplemental Restaurant Operations InformationPerformance of Long-term Portfolio Deli Restaurants
The following table is presented for the Schlotzsky's® Delis in the Company's long-term portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, this restaurant group included nine restaurants in the Austin area, two in College Station, Texas and one in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. This group includes eleven freestanding restaurants (ten recently constructed and one older facility converted from another concept) and one shopping center endcap restaurant. In accordance with the Company's internal management reporting practices for consistent comparisons, line item categories have been expanded and percentages are calculated based on gross sales, instead of net sales as used elsewhere in this report. Facility costs vary by restaurant because some facilities are rented and some are owned. The table provides the average percentage results for each line item for the twelve
17
Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurants in the long-term portfolio group as a whole, as well as the best and worst percentage performance for each line item for any restaurant in the group.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
REVENUE. Total revenue decreased 0.8% to $31,149,000 from $31,411,000.
ROYALTIES decreased 7.0% to $10,384,000 from $11,168,000. The decrease was due to a decreased number of franchised restaurants in 2002 compared to 2001 and a decrease in same store sales of 5.4%, partially offset by a continuing shift in restaurant mix towards larger, higher volume units.
FRANCHISE FEES decreased 66.5% to $62,000 from $185,000. The decrease was principally the result of fewer openings of franchised restaurants as well as a decrease in average franchise fee recognized per opening during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The fewer number of openings was principally the result of the termination of the Turnkey program during 2000, as well as the Company's increased emphasis on superior site selection for new restaurants and on more highly qualified franchisees. The decrease in franchise fee per restaurant opening is due to the Company's incentive program that was initiated at the beginning of 2002 for existing franchisees to open up additional locations during the year.
DEVELOPER FEES decreased 29.4% to $120,000 from $170,000. The decrease is primarily attributed to the expiration of amortization on certain agreements.
RESTAURANT SALES increased 7.1% to $16,140,000 from $15,064,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average number of restaurants operated by the Company during 2002 compared to 2001, partially offset by a 7.9% decrease in same store sales. As of June 30, 2002,
18
there were 35 Company-owned restaurants, compared to 30 at June 30, 2001, of which 20 and 17, respectively, were available for sale.
SCHLOTZSKY'S® DELI BRAND LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) increased 4.8% to $3,874,000 from $3,696,000. The increase was primarily due to more favorable terms with certain major suppliers than the prior year period, the recognition of $151,000 in past due fees from a licensee and an increase in sales through retail channels, partially offset by the effect of the decrease in systemwide sales.
OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 49.6% to $569,000 from $1,128,000. The decrease was due to reduced vendor contributions to conventions and franchisee meetings, a decrease in expired franchise fees and transfer fees, gains of approximately $176,000 on the sale of restaurants available for sale recognized in the prior year, and approximately $112,000 in real estate and transaction fees from the former Turnkey program recorded in the prior year.
OPERATING EXPENSES. SERVICE COSTS decreased 11.5% to $2,267,000 from $2,562,000, and as a percentage of royalties and franchise fees declined to 21.7% from 22.6%. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's reacquisition of certain area developer territory rights during the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as a decrease in royalty and franchise fee revenue. The Company expects royalty service costs, as a percentage of royalties, to further decrease in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
RESTAURANT OPERATIONS EXPENSES increased 5.1% to $14,606,000 from $13,894,000. This increase was primarily due to the 7.1% increase in restaurant sales. RESTAURANT COST OF SALES increased 7.5% to $4,508,000 from $4,194,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 27.9% from 27.8%. RESTAURANT PERSONNEL AND BENEFITS COST increased 1.8% to $6,462,000 from $6,347,000, but decreased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 40.0% from 42.1%. The decrease, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was due to improved labor scheduling. RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES increased 8.4% to $3,636,000 from $3,353,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 22.5% from 22.3%. The increase in operating costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was due to higher voluntary contributions to the Austin advertising cooperative as well as increased facility costs, partially offset by increased operational efficiencies and cost controls. The use of some Company-owned restaurants in the long-term portfolio for product, process and equipment testing and for systemwide training also adversely impacts their operating performance. On an overall basis, costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, are higher at restaurants available for sale, and the proportion of restaurants available for sale to total Company- owned restaurants was higher this year than last year.
EQUITY LOSS ON INVESTMENTS increased 44.4% to a loss of $78,000 from a loss of $54,000. The equity investment represents the Company's 50% interest in a limited liability company that operates a Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurant which opened in 2000.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased 3.9% to $9,315,000 from $9,690,000, and decreased to 29.9% from 30.8% as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease from the prior year was principally due to reduced salaries and benefits, reduced convention and franchisee meeting expenses, reduced property taxes, and reduced provision for uncollectible accounts and impairment of assets, partially offset by increases in lease guarantee expense, professional fees, advertising and marketing, start-up fees for a technology help desk, and charitable contributions.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 6.5% to $2,170,000 from $2,038,000. The increase was primarily due to the amortization of reacquired area developer territory rights and depreciation related to an increase in the average number of Company-owned and operating restaurants during 2002 as compared to the prior year, partially offset by a reduction of approximately
19
$121,000 in intangible asset amortization expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company expects a further increase in amortization expense in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
INTEREST INCOME decreased 41.1% to $312,000 from $530,000. The decrease was due to the decrease in the amount of outstanding notes receivable, the nonrecognition of interest income on certain underperforming notes receivable and a decrease in average interest rate during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by the cash receipt of $77,000 in interest on a nonaccruing note receivable.
INTEREST EXPENSE decreased 15.7% to $1,258,000 from $1,493,000 due to reduced debt levels and lower average interest rates, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $19,000 of interest capitalized on Company-owned restaurants under construction as compared to the prior year. The Company expects an increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 2002 as a result of the seller financed debt related to the anticipated exercise of an option to reacquire the Company's largest area developer territorial rights.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES reflected a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 36.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which was lower than the effective combined tax rate of 39.3% for the comparable period in 2001 primarily due to certain state taxes being based in part on factors other than income.
NET INCOME decreased to $1,116,000 from $1,342,000 and decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 3.6% from 4.3% due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, were $0.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.18 in the prior year.

Supplemental Restaurant Operations InformationPerformance of Long-term Portfolio Deli Restaurants
The following table is presented for the Schlotzsky's® Delis in the Company's long-term portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, this restaurant group included nine restaurants in the Austin area, two in College Station, Texas and one in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. This group includes eleven freestanding restaurants (ten recently constructed and one older facility converted from another concept) and one shopping center endcap restaurant. In accordance with the Company's internal management reporting practices for consistent comparisons, line item categories have been expanded and percentages are calculated based on gross sales, instead of net sales as used elsewhere in this report. Facility costs vary by restaurant because some facilities are rented and some are owned. The table provides the average percentage results for each line item for the twelve Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurants in the long-term portfolio group as a whole, as well as the best and worst percentage performance for each line item for any restaurant in the group.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,586,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, and increased $803,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash flows are impacted by operating, investing and financing activities.
Operating activities provided $3,525,000 of cash in 2002 and $5,244,000 of cash in 2001. The decrease in cash provided in 2002 compared to 2001 was the net result of an increased use of cash for certain working capital accounts, reduced net income, and decreased provisions for uncollectible accounts and impairment of assets, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization and a decrease in the amount of deferred revenue amortized.
21
Investing activities used $1,248,000 and $937,000 of cash in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2002 compared to 2001 was the net result of a decrease in proceeds from the sale of real estate available for sale and reduced collections of notes receivable, partially offset by a decrease in expenditures for intangible assets and new Company-owned restaurants and reduced issuance of notes receivable.
Financing activities used $3,863,000 and $3,504,000 of cash in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2002 compared to 2001 is primarily the net result of increased repayments of debt and reduced proceeds from issuance of debt, partially offset by reduced treasury stock purchases.
Through August 13, 2002, when it was paid off with the proceeds from real estate mortgage financing, the Company had a Credit Agreement, as amended, with a group of banks that prohibited the payment of dividends and imposed a number of restrictions on the Company, including limitations on additional borrowings, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities and stock repurchases. The Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, working capital and net worth. As of August 13, 2002, when the term note under the Credit Agreement was paid off, the Company is no longer subject to these restrictive covenants. Certain mortgage debt of the Company also contains restrictive covenants. At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with or had obtained waiver of such covenants. However, any failure to remain in compliance with the restrictive covenants of the Company's mortgages in the future could have material adverse consequences to the Company.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company's scheduled maturities of debt for the ensuing twelve months approximate $6,992,000 (including short-term debt). In addition, the Company's Credit Agreement required the application to the term note of 75% of the net cash proceeds from the sale or refinancing of certain real estate and restaurants available for sale.
On a pro-forma basis, assuming the August 2002 mortgage financing, of which a portion of the proceeds fully retired the bank group Credit Agreement term note, had occurred as of June 30, 2002, the scheduled maturities of debt for the ensuing twelve months would have approximated $3,153,000 (including short-term debt). The August 2002 mortgage financing included five mortgage notes payable, totaling approximately $9,472,000, at interest rates ranging from prime to 7.5%, amortization periods ranging from ten to twenty years and terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.
The Company guarantees certain loans, leases and other obligations of franchisees and others. At June 30, 2002, these contingent liabilities totaled approximately $29,221,000. The following tables present certain of the Company's obligations and commitments to make future payments, excluding interest payments, under contracts and contingent commitments as of June 30, 2002.

The Company plans to develop additional Company-owned restaurants for market leadership purposes, beginning with key markets in its home state of Texas. One restaurant is under construction in the Austin area, which is expected to open in 2003. The Company has received a lending
22
commitment for this restaurant. The Company has also acquired the building sites for three additional restaurants in the Austin area, two of which the Company intends to be opened by limited liability companies in which the Company will have an equity interest. An operating lease has also been signed for a restaurant in the Houston area and sites for additional restaurants in Texas are under consideration.
The Company has an option, as amended, through August 30, 2002 to reacquire the territorial rights held by its largest area developer. The exercise price of the option is $28,850,000, of which a nonrefundable deposit in the amount of $5,082,000 has been paid through August 1, 2002. The exercise of the option will require further payment of $500,000 in cash at closing and the execution of a $23,268,000 promissory note to the area developer. The note would bear interest at 8% and require monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $520,000 commencing September 30, 2002, with all remaining principal due on June 30, 2005. In the event the option is not exercised on or before August 30, 2002, the Company will be required to pay a fee of $1,700,000.
The Company is working to develop other credit facilities that would replace the seller financing on the area developer territorial rights acquisition with longer-term financing as well as fund the growth of Company-owned restaurants.
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In 1998, 10,000 shares were repurchased for $105,000. Since December 31, 2000, through June 30, 2002, the Company has repurchased an additional 179,525 shares at a total cost of approximately $738,000.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other material included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains some statements that are not historical information and are considered "forward-looking statements," as defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations based on current information. Forward-looking statements include those regarding the business plans and prospects of the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Shareholders and prospective investors are cautioned that actual future results may be materially different because of various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: the Company's ability to obtain credit facilities to accommodate reacquisition of rights from area developers and the development of new Company-owned restaurants; the success of the Company's new restaurant development strategy and the Company's efforts to sell new franchise licenses; the financial stability of the Company's franchisees; the results of pending or threatened legal proceedings; the disposition of restaurants available for sale; and factors identified in the Company's Form 10-K under the heading "Risk Factors."
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 interest rates charged on certain underlying obligations are variable.
At June 30, 2002, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $73,100 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 June 30, 2002.

The Company is named a defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings cannot be projected with certainty. The following are proceedings in which the plaintiffs have alleged significant damages. Based on its knowledge of these matters and its experience to date, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Lone Star Ladies Investment Club, a Texas General Partnership, et al, on Behalf of Themselves and All Others Similarly Situated v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., et al, (Case No. A-98CA-550-JN), was filed in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Austin Division on February 8, 1999, as a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its past and present officers and directors. A more detailed description of the lawsuit may be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (see Part I., Item 3). On April 2, 2002, the Court granted final approval of the Stipulation of Settlement and Plan of Allocation of Settlement Proceeds, which was funded by the Company's insurer and which settled all claims with prejudice, and entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice.
Kimberly Garland v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., Schenck & Associates, John Wooley, Darrell Kolinek, Kelly Arnold, Joyce Cates, Brian Wieters, David Gerstner and Jeffrey Noeldner, (Case No. 01-CV 2377), was filed on December 26, 2001, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Plaintiff is a franchisee in Apple Valley, Minnesota. She brought claims against the Company, her Area Developer (Noeldner), several officers and past and present employees of the Company (Wooley, Kolinek, Arnold, Wieters, and Cates), her accountant (Gerstner), and his accounting firm. Plaintiff purchased her restaurant pursuant to the Company's Turnkey Program. She claims she was fraudulently induced into participating in the Program. She contends that, at the urging of defendant Noeldner, she submitted cash flow projections, prepared by defendant Gerstner, that were allegedly unreasonable and inflated. Plaintiff alleges that the Turnkey Program was a scheme to promote rapid growth, recognize revenue, and develop restaurants that were not financially viable. The Complaint includes claims of fraudulent and/or negligent misrepresentations and omissions, and alleged violations of the Minnesota Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act ("DTPA"), the Minnesota Franchise Act, and the Texas DTPA. Plaintiff is seeking rescission and actual and compensatory damages of an unspecified amount and attorneys' fees. On May 7, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, to stay the proceedings in order to compel arbitration pursuant to a provision contained in Plaintiff's franchise agreement. The Company denies all of Plaintiff's claims, believes they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.
Robert Coshott v. Schlotzsky's, Inc., (Cause No. GN 1-02279), was filed on July 24, 2001, in the 200th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. Plaintiff is the Master Licensee for Australia and New Zealand, and he opened a Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. In his petition, Plaintiff makes the following allegations: that he experienced problems with certain equipment specified or approved by the Company; that the Company's system and equipment did not generate enough finished food product to service his potential customers; that the Company misrepresented the level of revenue the restaurant could reasonably be expected to achieve; that the Company delayed his ability to develop restaurants by failing to timely secure certain trademarks and trade names; and that the Company misrepresented whether it would allow Plaintiff to franchise Schlotzsky's® Deli restaurants in certain gas station or convenience store locations in his territories. Plaintiff claims these acts constitute fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation and requests actual and punitive damages of $3.75 million plus lost profits and incidental and consequential damages of an unspecified amount. The case is
24
currently set for trial on November 4, 2002. The Company denies all of Plaintiff's claims, believes they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.
Dae W. Kim, DWK Enterprises, Inc. and Aecon International, Inc. v. John Wooley, Schlotzsky's, Inc., Schlotzsky's Franchising Limited Partnership, and Schlotzsky's NAMF, Inc., Schlotzsky's National Advertising Association, Inc. and Schlotzsky's Brands, Inc. (Cause No. 2001-CI-13672), was originally filed in the 73rd Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas, on September 25, 2001, after a similar lawsuit was filed and later withdrawn in Harris County, Texas. Plaintiffs are, or claim to be, franchisees in Houston and San Antonio, Texas, and Plaintiff Kim was an area developer for Houston and San Antonio, Texas. One of the Plaintiff's franchise agreements was terminated for repeatedly failing its Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and Compliance ("QSCC") evaluations prior to the litigation. Plaintiffs allege that the QSCC evaluations and sales audits were harassing and disruptive to business. They also allege that in recent years, the Company favored developing larger, freestanding locations rather than their smaller shopping center restaurants. The complaint includes claims of tortious interference, breach of the duty of good faith, fraud, fraudulent concealment, restraint of trade, violation of the Texas DTPA, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, civil conspiracy, and an accounting of advertising funds. In July 2002 Plaintiffs estimated $4.2 million of actual and $8.4 million of exemplary damages. Defendants' counterclaims include breach of contract, a request for an accounting, and attorneys' fees.
On or about June 26, 2002, the court granted partial summary judgment in favor of the Company and other Defendants. Specifically, summary judgment was granted in favor of Defendants on Plaintiffs' claims of breach of the two area developer agreements, tortious interference, all claims arising prior to March 25, 1998, and all claims of breach of good faith, of violation of the DTPA, and of conspiracy arising prior to September 25, 1999. Defendants deny all of Plaintiff's remaining claims, believe they are without merit, and will continue to vigorously defend this action.
