PART I
Item 1. | Business |
General
We own and operate 77 restaurants under the Fox and Hound and Baileys brand names that each provide a social gathering place offering high quality food, drinks and entertainment in an upscale, casual environment. Our 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 satellite and cable coverage of a variety of sporting events and music videos, and most of our restaurants offer multiple billiards tables. In addition to our food, we believe our customers are attracted to our elegant yet comfortable atmosphere of dark wood interiors, polished brass, embroidered chairs and booths, and etched glass. Our Fox and Hound and Baileys restaurants share identical design and operational principles and menus.
Our History
The first Fox and Hound restaurant opened in August 1994 and the first Baileys restaurant opened in November 1989. In February 1997, the two companies were combined to form Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. In July 1997, we completed our initial public offering. As of March 25, 2005, the Company owns and operates 59 Fox and Hound restaurants and 18 Baileys restaurants in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Concept
We believe our restaurants offer customers a unique and exciting upscale destination for socializing, eating and drinking. We believe our restaurants are differentiated from our competitors by offering all of the following features in a single location:
| An Upscale, Neighborhood Social Gathering Place. Our restaurants provide a destination where friends and acquaintances can gather regularly for food, drinks and entertainment in an upscale yet casual environment. | |||
| High Quality Food and Beverage. Our restaurants offer a broad menu of mid-priced appetizers, salads, desserts and entrees featuring beef, chicken, fish and barbecue, all served in generous portions. Each location features a full service bar and a wide variety of domestic, imported and specialty beers. To maximize the appeal of each area of our restaurants, sit-down food and beverage service is available in every room. | |||
| State-of-the-Art Audio and Visual Technology. Our restaurants create an exciting, high-energy atmosphere through state-of-the-art audio and video systems for viewing sporting events and music videos from our customized playlist. Each location typically has more than 35 televisions (including several big-screen televisions) with satellite and cable coverage of concurrent national, regional and local sporting events. | |||
| Late-night Destination. Our restaurants are generally open from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., seven days a week, depending upon local law. We provide customers with an upscale entertainment and dining alternative by offering our full menu during our increasingly popular late-night segment. |
Strategy
Our goal is to become the leading neighborhood destination for socializing, eating and drinking. Our strategy for attaining this leadership position is based on the following key elements:
Total Entertainment and Restaurant Experience. Our concept offers a social gathering place, food and beverages, sports entertainment, games of skill and a late-night destination all in a single location. Each location provides guests with a multi-dimensional entertainment and restaurant experience that enables them to participate in one or more elements of the experience.
Seasoned Management Team. We employ a seasoned management team with experience in successfully developing and operating multi-unit concepts in a variety of geographic markets throughout the United States. We intend to leverage this experience to secure favorable real estate sites, control costs and implement proven operating procedures. In addition, we maintain centralized financial and accounting controls through Franchise Services Company, a third party accounting and administrative services company. By employing the services and infrastructure provided by Franchise Services Company, we are able to focus our energy and resources on brand and unit development.
-3-
Growth and Expansion. We believe our restaurant concept will be attractive in a variety of geographic markets throughout the United States. We plan to open ten to twelve locations in 2005 and between twelve and fifteen locations in 2006. Through March 25, 2005, we have opened two restaurants in 2005 and currently have five restaurants under construction, four contracts executed with contingencies and one lease currently under negotiation. We continually evaluate locations in various markets and negotiate proposed additional leases at desired sites. However, the number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon our ability to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases.
Flexibility and Versatility of Concept. We are implementing our concept through both the Fox and Hound and Baileys brand names. Our concept allows for significant versatility through the reconfiguration of the entertainment areas within each of its locations to accommodate various special events.
Commitment to High Quality Products and Services. We are committed to providing a superior experience that includes high quality menu items, a wide variety of domestic, imported and specialty beers, state-of-the-art audio and video systems and tournament-quality pocket billiard tables. These features, combined with our focus on a high level of customer service, help build a loyal clientele and attract new guests.

Expansion Plans
Our management team has extensive experience in the restaurant business and has successfully developed and operated numerous restaurants in many geographic markets throughout the United States. We intend to open ten to twelve locations in 2005 and between twelve to fifteen locations in 2006. We are currently evaluating locations in markets familiar to our management team. However, the number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon our ability to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases.
While we have no current plans to do so, we may in the future franchise and/or grant license or joint venture rights to the Fox and Hound and Baileys concepts in certain limited geographic areas of the United States. It is expected that these franchisees, licensees or joint venture partners would be required to develop a specific number of locations within a specified time frame and that a license fee and/or a royalty fee will be paid to us in connection with the development and operation of each such site.
Selection Criteria and Leasing
We believe the site selection process is critical in determining the potential success of each restaurant location. Senior management devotes significant time and resources in analyzing each prospective site and inspects and approves each location prior to final lease execution. A variety of factors are considered in the site selection process, including local market demographics (e.g., median household income levels and age), site visibility, traffic count, nature of the surrounding retail environment and accessibility and proximity to major retail centers, office complexes, hotels and entertainment centers (e.g., stadiums, arenas and theaters).
We lease all locations, with the exception of one Baileys restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina, which is owned by us. Most of the restaurants are located in shopping centers. Leases are generally negotiated with initial terms of five to fifteen years, with multiple renewal options. We are generally required to complete construction and open a new location approximately 120 to 280 days after the later of signing of a contract or obtaining required permits. Additional time is sometimes required to obtain certain government approvals and licenses, such as liquor licenses. In the future, we anticipate leasing our locations, although we may consider purchasing free-standing sites where it is cost-effective to do so.

Unit Economics
Our management team focuses on selecting locations with the potential of producing significant revenues while controlling capital expenditures and rent as a percentage of net sales. Our restaurants averaged $2,142,000 and $2,073,000 in sales during fiscal years ended December 28, 2004 and December 30, 2003, respectively. The 74 leased restaurants open at December 28, 2004 had an average cash investment of approximately $1,518,000. The one unit we own had a cost of $1,969,000 (including the costs for land acquisition, construction, equipment and pre-opening costs). In the future we anticipate most locations will be leased rather than purchased and anticipate an average cash investment per location between $2.0 million and $2.3 million.
Menu
Our restaurants offer a single menu for lunch, dinner and late-night dining. The menu features a broad selection of appealing appetizers (including quesadillas, chicken wings and nachos) and soups and salads (including Caesar salads, chili and soups of the day), typically ranging in price from $3.29 to $6.99. The menu includes over 25 entrees typically priced between $5.99 to $16.99 such as sandwiches, pizzas, ribs, burgers and a selection of grilled and smoked barbecued entrees. Most entrees are priced under $12.00. All restaurants opened in 2004 feature a new and much broader menu including additional appetizers, a full selection of traditional crust pizzas, and additional entrees, sandwiches, soups and salads. A strong emphasis is placed on the presentation of each of these menu items, increasing the quality and satisfaction of our customers overall dining experience. Each location features a full service bar and most restaurants have over 100 brands of ales, lagers, stouts and specialty beers from around the world, with an average of 30 beers on tap. Alcoholic beverage service accounted for approximately 56.8% of the Companys revenues in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2004.
During 2004, we converted 18 existing units to the new, broader menu. The average cost per unit to convert to the new menu was approximately $60,000 in equipment costs and approximately $15,000 in cost of food, labor and travel associated with new menu training. Additional units may be converted in 2005 based on managements evaluation of the success of these conversions. Although management anticipates some increase in revenues associated with the new menu, it is premature to estimate this impact.
Ambiance and Design
We strive to offer a unique setting with a broad appeal to both male and female customers through an inviting, clean and comfortable atmosphere. In order to achieve the feeling of an upscale atmosphere for these customers, we emphasize décor, lighting and cleanliness. For example, we recycle fresh filtered air throughout our restaurants several times an hour and place fresh-cut flowers in our restrooms. Each of our locations feature dedicated areas for viewing sporting events and/or music videos. These entertainment areas can be readily configured into a comfortable arena for concurrent viewing of national, regional and local sporting and other television events. To maximize the broad appeal of the atmosphere in our restaurants, the sound in each room is carefully monitored to balance the desire among our customers for lively entertainment versus quieter socializing. In addition, our locations generally offer multiple tournament-quality billiard tables and darts and popular interactive games to further enhance our appeal as a social destination. All locations are also capable of accommodating business and social organizations for special events.
We believe the design of our restaurants plays an essential role in our success. Most of our restaurants have a centrally-located bar and primary dining room as well as two wing rooms that are partitioned from the central bar and dining area by etched glass. The wing rooms serve as secondary dining areas and house games of skill along with state-of-the-art audio and video technology. This layout provides guests with an open view of the main dining room, bar and gaming areas. Most of our newer units have a separate dedicated non-smoking dining area with one to three secondary dining and gaming areas. The open kitchen is organized for efficient work flow and is also centrally located so as to entice guests with its flavorful aromas.
Marketing
We believe our restaurant concept attracts a loyal clientele. We rely primarily on word-of-mouth to attract new business. We do, however, advertise through traditional marketing and advertising media in selected markets. These media include mainly radio and print advertising and local store marketing to households.
Our marketing efforts also seek to focus on national, regional and local sporting events such as the Super Bowl and the NCAA basketball tournament, which attract locally active groups of fans, supporters and alumni. The versatile layout and design of our restaurants can also accommodate group events.
-6-
Operations and Management
Our operations and management systems are based upon systems and controls that were developed by our senior management and have been successfully used to manage a large number of restaurants located in numerous states. We strive to maintain quality and consistency in our restaurant locations through the careful training and supervision of personnel and the establishment of standards relating to food and beverage preparation, maintenance of locations and conduct of personnel.
We staff our restaurants with management that has experience in the restaurant industry. We believe our strong team-oriented culture helps us attract highly motivated employees who provide customers with a superior level of service. We train our kitchen employees and wait staff to take great pride in preparing and serving food in accordance with our high standards. Restaurant managers and staff are trained to be courteous and attentive to customer needs, and our managers, in particular, are instructed to visit each table. Senior corporate management hosts weekly meetings with regional and district managers to discuss staffing, marketing, individual restaurant performance and customer comments. Moreover, we require our general managers to hold daily shift meetings at their individual restaurants. Senior management regularly visits the Fox and Hound and Baileys locations and meets with the respective management teams to ensure compliance with our strategies and standards of quality.
Management. The management of a typical restaurant consists of one general manager and three to five assistant managers depending upon restaurant revenue and hours of operation. The assistant managers are responsible for their own operational units, including a kitchen manager, bar manager and service manager, but all have been trained to support and manage each operational unit of the restaurant. Each general manager is responsible for the restaurants day-to-day operations and is required to follow our established operating procedures and standards. Each location also employs a staff of hourly employees, many of whom are part-time personnel. We currently employ thirteen district managers, each of which oversees between four and seven restaurants. We also employ two regional managers who oversee the various districts. Our regional managers, district managers, general managers and assistant managers participate in incentive cash bonus programs. Awards under the incentive plans are tied to achievement of specified operating targets, including achievement of specific unit objectives and control of operating expense budgets. In addition, the regional managers, district managers and general managers participate in our Employee Stock Option Plan.
Financial Controls. We maintain financial and accounting controls for each of our restaurants through the use of centralized accounting and management information systems. Sales and labor information are collected daily from each location, and general managers are provided with operating statements for their locations. Cash is controlled through daily deposits of sales proceeds in local operating accounts, the balances of which are wire-transferred daily or weekly to our principal operating account. We utilize a comprehensive peer review reporting system for our general managers. Within 10 days after the close of each 28-day accounting period, profit and loss statements are produced and, subsequently, the general managers of each restaurant meet in person with their respective district managers to review the profit and loss statements. The participants offer each other feedback on their respective performances and suggest ways of improving profitability. The regional and district managers also meet in person with the senior management team to review the performance for the past accounting period as well as set the operating agenda for the next period. We believe the peer review system enables each general manager and district manager to benefit from the collective experience of all of the Companys management.
Customer Service. We believe customer service and satisfaction are keys to the success of our operations. In addition to customer evaluations, we use secret shopper visits to independently evaluate customer satisfaction. A national restaurant evaluation firm performs these visits, at least three times per 28-day period, to test our food and beverage service in a discrete manner without the knowledge of the restaurant personnel. In addition, we encourage frequent visits by restaurant management to customers tables, active involvement of management in responding to guest comments and assigning wait persons so as to ensure customer satisfaction.
Training. Management strives to instill enthusiasm and dedication in its employees and to create a stimulating and rewarding working environment where employees know what is expected of them in measurable terms. Each of our new restaurant employees participates in a training program during which the employee works under the close supervision of a manager. Restaurant management personnel participate in an eight-week to twelve-week training program that focuses on various aspects of the restaurants operations and customer service. Management continuously solicits employee feedback concerning restaurant operations and strives to be responsive to the employees concerns.
We promote a safe drinking environment through the use of certain internal procedures in addition to extensive alcohol awareness training. It is mandatory for all service employees and managers, regardless of a lack of state regulation, to complete a third-party alcohol awareness-training program. We have also established internal measures to promote a safe drinking environment, such as a four-drink log (which is reviewed by the restaurants district manager).
Purchasing
We strive to obtain consistent, quality items at competitive prices from reliable sources. We continually search for and test various products in order to serve the highest quality products possible and to be responsive to changing customer tastes. We engage a purchasing consultant to assist in the negotiation of purchasing agreements with suppliers. Food and supplies are shipped directly to the restaurant locations, although invoices for purchases are forwarded to a central location for
-7-
payment. Due to the experience of our senior management in the restaurant business, we have been and expect to continue to be able to purchase most of our restaurant equipment directly from equipment manufacturers. We have not experienced any significant delays in receiving supplies or equipment.
Management Information Systems
We utilize a computer-based management support system, which is designed to improve labor scheduling and food and beverage cost management, provide corporate management quick access to financial data and reduce the general managers administrative time. Each general manager uses the system for production planning, labor scheduling and food and beverage cost variance analysis. The system generates reports on sales, bank deposits and variance data. We generate weekly consolidated sales reports and food, beverage and labor-cost variance reports as well as detailed profit and loss statements for each restaurant location every four weeks. Additionally, we monitor sales growth, labor variances and other sales trends on a daily basis.
Accounting and Administrative Services
On March 1, 2005, we renewed our services agreement with Franchise Services Company for certain accounting and administrative services for an additional one-year period. We pay a per restaurant per 28-day fixed fee with no annual charge.
Competition
The entertainment and restaurant industries are highly competitive. There are a large number of restaurants and entertainment businesses that compete directly and indirectly with us. We compete with restaurants primarily on the basis of quality of food and service, ambiance and location and compete with sports bars and entertainment complexes on the basis of entertainment quality, ambiance and location. Competition for sales in the entertainment and restaurant industries is intense. Many of our existing and potential competitors are well-established and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition to other entertainment and restaurant companies, we compete with numerous businesses for suitable locations for our restaurants.
Government Regulation
Our restaurant locations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws affecting health, sanitation, safety and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards, as well as to state and local licensing regulation of the sale of alcoholic beverages. Each restaurant has appropriate licenses from regulatory authorities allowing it to sell liquor, beer and wine, and each restaurant has food service licenses from local health authorities. Our licenses to sell alcoholic beverages must be renewed annually and may be suspended or revoked at any time for cause, including violation by us or our employees of any law or regulation pertaining to alcoholic beverage control, such as those regulating the minimum age of patrons or employees, advertising, wholesale, purchasing, and inventory control. The failure of a restaurant to obtain or retain liquor or food service licenses would have a material adverse effect on our operations. In order to reduce this risk, each restaurant is operated in accordance with standardized procedures designed to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
In certain states, we are subject to dram-shop statutes, which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. We carry liquor liability coverage as part of our existing comprehensive general liability insurance. Significant exposure to liquor liability claims may result in significant charges due to our relatively high deductibles and may result in our experiencing higher costs than expected as a result of higher insurance premiums.
The development and construction of additional locations are subject to compliance with applicable zoning, land use and environmental regulations. Our operations are also subject to federal and state minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits and other employee matters. Significant numbers of our personnel are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage, which is currently $5.15 per hour. Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage will increase our labor costs.
Trademarks
We have federally registered our Fox & Hound®, Baileys Sports Grille®, Baileys Smokehouse & Tavern® and Quality Is Our Passion® service marks. Our 7 Baileys Sports Grille® and Serious Fun 7 Baileys Sports Grille® design marks are also federally registered. We regard our service and design marks as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our restaurant concept. We are aware of names and marks similar to our service marks that are used by other persons in certain geographic areas. We believe such uses will not have a material adverse effect on the
-8-
Company as either the Baileys or Fox and Hound brand names may be used if the other name is unavailable. Our policy is to pursue registration of our marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our marks.
Employees
As of March 25, 2005, we employed approximately 4,800 persons, 360 of whom are executive officers, regional managers, district managers and restaurant management personnel and the remainder of whom are hourly restaurant personnel and corporate support staff. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our employee relations are satisfactory.

Risk Factors
We May Not Be Able To Manage Our Planned Expansion, Which May Lead To Higher Costs Or A Failure To Realize Anticipated Revenues Or Operating Profits.
We face business risks commonly associated with rapidly growing companies, including the risk that existing management, information systems and financial controls may be inadequate to support our planned expansion. We experienced difficulty managing our rapid expansion following our initial public offering in fiscal year 1997 and, as a result, temporarily suspended development of new restaurants in the second fiscal quarter of 1999. We cannot predict whether we will be able to respond on a timely basis to all of the changing demands that our planned expansion will impose on management and our systems and controls. If we fail to adapt management, information systems and financial controls or encounter unexpected difficulties during expansion, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we anticipate entering new geographic markets in which we have no operating experience. These new markets may have different demographic characteristics, competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns than our existing markets, which may cause new restaurants to be less successful than restaurants in our existing markets.
If We Are Unable To Open New Restaurants In A Timely And Profitable Manner, Our Business Could Be Materially Adversely Affected.
To continue to expand our business, we must open new restaurants on a timely and profitable basis. We have experienced occasional delays in opening restaurants and may experience delays in the future. Delays in opening, or failures to open, new restaurants could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Our ability to expand successfully may depend on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
- | Identification and availability of suitable restaurant sites; | |||
- | Competition for restaurant sites; | |||
- | Negotiation of favorable leases; | |||
- | Timely development in certain cases of commercial, residential, street or highway construction near our restaurants; | |||
- | Management of construction and development costs of new restaurants; | |||
- | Securing of required governmental approvals and permits; | |||
- | Availability, staffing, training and retention of qualified management and hourly personnel, particularly district, general and assistant managers; | |||
- | Competition in new markets; and | |||
- | General economic conditions. |
There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete our planned expansion or that new restaurants, if completed, will perform in a manner consistent with our most recently opened restaurants or make a positive contribution to our operating results.

The Price Of Our Common Stock Has Been Highly Volatile And May Continue To Be Highly Volatile, Which May Adversely Affect Your Ability To Sell Your Shares And Our Ability To Raise Additional Capital.
A public market for our common stock has existed since 1997. The price of our common stock has been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile. For instance, from January 1, 2001 through March 25, 2005, our common stock has traded from a low of $1.13 to a high of $17.25 per share. The price of our common stock may experience significant volatility in response to many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not even be directly related to us, including:
- | Changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts regarding us or our common stock; | |||
- | Our performance and the performance of our competitors and other companies in the restaurant industry; | |||
- | Quarterly fluctuations in our operating results or the operating results of other companies in the restaurant industry; | |||
- | Additions or departures of key personnel; | |||
- | The trading volume of our common stock; | |||
- | General economic conditions and their effect on the casual dining industry in general; and | |||
- | Competition, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other developments affecting us or our competitors. |
In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. This volatility has significantly affected, and may continue to affect, the price of our common stock and may adversely affect your ability to sell your shares and our ability to raise additional capital. See Price Range of Common Stock.
Our Operating Results Could Be Materially Adversely Affected By The Negative Performance Of A Small Number Of Restaurants Because Of Our Small Restaurant Base.
As of March 25, 2005, we operated only 77 restaurants, 10 of which opened in the last 12 months. Due to the small number of restaurants, poor operating results at any one or more new or existing restaurants could materially adversely affect our profitability. Factors that could adversely affect the operating results of any new or existing restaurant include local competition, consumer preference, development of the area in which the restaurant is located and access to the restaurant, including construction of highways that provide, or in some cases prevent, access to the restaurant. The operating results of certain existing restaurants have been, and may continue to be, affected by any one or more of these factors. The business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows or the lack of success of one or more new or existing restaurants may have a more significant effect on our overall results of operations than would be the case in a larger company with a significantly larger restaurant base.
We May Be Unable To Fund Our Significant Future Capital Needs And We May Require Additional Funding Sooner Than Anticipated.
We plan to expend $22 million to $25 million over the next 12 months in connection with new restaurant openings and expect that similar expenditures for planned expansion in fiscal year 2006 will equal or exceed these amounts. The capital resources required to develop each new restaurant are significant. We believe that funds anticipated to be available from our existing line of credit and anticipated cash flow from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in our operating plans, the acceleration or modification of our expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, potential acquisitions or other events will not cause us to seek additional financing, prevent us from achieving the goals of our expansion strategy or prevent any newly opened restaurants from operating profitably.
Because Our Business Is Focused On A Single Concept And Lacks Diversification, Our Continued Success Could Suffer If Consumer Preferences Change.
Our restaurant concept features a combination of casual dining and entertainment, and our continued success depends, to a large degree, upon the popularity of casual dining and the types of entertainment offered in our restaurants. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences away from our concept, dining style or entertainment options may have a disproportionate and materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and prospects.
Changes In Discretionary Spending Could Negatively Impact Our Operating Results.
The success of our business and its operating results are dependent on discretionary spending by consumers, particularly by consumers living in the communities in which our restaurants are located. A decline in discretionary spending could
-10-
adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Our business could also be adversely affected by general economic conditions, terrorist attacks and the resulting cancellation or delay of national sporting events, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy and changes in disposable consumer income.
Because We Are Significantly Smaller And Less Established Than The Majority Of Our National Competitors, We May Lack The Financial Resources Needed To Compete Effectively And Sustain Profitability.
Due to the nature of our business, we compete with competitors in both the restaurant and entertainment industries. A great number of restaurants and entertainment businesses compete directly and indirectly with us. Many of these entities have a greater number of locations, are more established, and have significantly greater financial (based on total assets and annual revenues), marketing and other resources than us. Although there are only a few other competing companies presently combining restaurant and entertainment operations in a manner similar to us, we may encounter increased competition in the future. This increased competition may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We Depend On The Expertise Of Key Personnel. If Any Of These Individuals Leave Or Change Their Role With Us, Our Operations May Suffer.
Our success and the results of operations are dependent to a large degree on the efforts and abilities of our existing management, including Steven M. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer; Gary M. Judd, President; Kenneth C. Syvarth, Chief Operating Officer; and James K. Zielke, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs. Johnson, Judd, Syvarth and Zielke are employed by us pursuant to employment agreements, each of which will expire as of June 30, 2005, and are also subject to non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements with us. The employment agreements are extended automatically for successive one year terms unless terminated by either party no later than 90 days prior to each June 30 annual anniversary date. If any of Messrs. Johnson, Judd, Syvarth or Zielke were to leave us, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and growth could suffer. Our growth will also continue to depend, to a large degree, upon our ability to attract and retain additional skilled management personnel.
Quarterly Fluctuations And Seasonality In Our Operating Results Could Cause Our Stock Price To Fall.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period and the results for one period may not be indicative of results for other periods. Our operating results may also fluctuate significantly because of several factors, including the timing of new restaurant openings and related expenses, seasonality, profitability of new restaurants, increases or decreases in comparable restaurant sales, general economic conditions, consumer confidence in the economy, changes in consumer preferences, competitive factors and weather conditions.
The timing of new restaurant openings may result in significant fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of the revenues and expenses associated with each new restaurant location. We typically incur most preopening costs for a new restaurant within the two months immediately preceding, and the month of, the restaurants opening. In addition, the labor and operating costs for a newly opened restaurant during the first three to six months of operation are materially greater than what can be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of restaurant sales. Our growth, operating results and profitability will depend to a large degree on our ability to increase the number of our restaurants.
We also expect seasonality to continue to be a factor in our results of operations. Historically, our revenues have been moderately higher in the first and fourth quarters due to weather conditions, major sporting events and the year-end holidays. Our revenues in most of our restaurants have been lower during the summer months of each year, and we expect lower second and third quarter revenues to continue in the future. In addition, for accounting purposes, the first, second and third quarters of each fiscal year consist of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 or 17 weeks. As a result, some of the variations in our operating results may be attributable to the different lengths of the fiscal quarters. These quarterly fluctuations and seasonality may cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could cause our stock price to fall. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation.
Our Operations Depend On Governmental Licenses And Regulation.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws affecting our business. Each restaurant location is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which may include alcoholic beverage control, amusement and state and municipality health and safety and fire agencies. Our business depends, in particular, on obtaining and maintaining required food service and liquor licenses for each of our restaurants. If we fail to obtain and maintain all necessary licenses or if government regulation of our business changes, we may be forced to delay or cancel new restaurant openings and close or reduce operations at existing locations, which could materially adversely affect our operating results and profitability.
Our operations are particularly dependent on holding the proper governmental licenses concerning the sale of alcohol. In fiscal year 2004, 56.8% of our sales were derived from alcoholic beverages. Each restaurant is required to obtain, directly or indirectly, a license to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises from a state authority and, in certain locations, county and
-11-
municipal authorities. Typically, licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations govern numerous aspects of the daily operations of each restaurant location, including the minimum age of patrons and employees, hours of operation, advertising practices, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and handling, and storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. Although we have not encountered any material problems relating to alcoholic beverage licenses or alcoholic beverage control regulations to date, the failure to receive or retain a liquor license in a particular location could adversely affect our ability to obtain such a license elsewhere and could materially adversely affect our operating results.
We May Face Liability Under Dram-Shop Statutes.
The sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to dram-shop statutes in 18 of the 22 states in which our restaurants are located. These statutes generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person with the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated individual. Recent litigation against restaurant chains has resulted in significant judgments, including punitive damages, under dram shop statutes. We carry liquor liability coverage as part of our existing comprehensive general liability insurance, which coverage we believe is consistent with that carried by other entities serving alcoholic beverages. Significant exposure to liquor liability claims may result in significant charges due to our relatively high deductibles and may result in our experiencing higher costs than expected as a result of higher insurance premiums. If we sustain significant adverse liquor liability claims in the future, liquor liability insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain. If we fail to maintain our insurance coverage or if a judgment against us is rendered under a dram-shop statute in excess of our liability coverage, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity resulting from such allegations may materially adversely affect us and our restaurants.
Federal And State Minimum Wage Laws Apply To A Number Of Our Employees And May Increase Our Costs.
Various federal, state and local labor laws and license and permit requirements govern and affect our relationship with our employees, including such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and other working conditions. A significant number of hourly personnel at our restaurants are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage and, accordingly, legislated increases in the minimum wage will increase labor costs at our restaurants. Significant additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, paid leaves of absence, mandated health benefits or increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements for employees who receive gratuities could be detrimental to the economic viability of our operations. In addition, we are subject to extensive rules and regulations with respect to discriminatory practices and accommodation of persons with disabilities.
Adverse Publicity Concerning Customer Complaints Or Litigation May Harm Our Business.
We may be from time to time the subject of complaints or litigation from customers alleging beverage and food-related illness, injuries suffered on our premises, or other quality, health or operational concerns. Adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may materially affect us, regardless of whether such allegations are true or whether we are ultimately held liable. These allegations may also divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit the future performance of our operations.
Increased Food And Alcohol Costs Could Materially Adversely Affect Our Operating Results.
Among other factors, the success of our business and our operating results are dependent in part upon our ability to anticipate and react to changes in food and alcohol costs and the mix between our food and liquor revenues. Various factors beyond our control, such as adverse weather conditions; increases in federal, state or local taxes, or other governmental regulation; or war, may affect food and liquor costs. We may not be able to anticipate and react to changing food and liquor costs by adjusting purchasing practices and implementing menu changes and price adjustments, and a failure to do so could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. There can be no assurance that changes in our sales mix will not adversely affect our profitability.
If We Are Unable To Secure The Exclusive Use Of Our Trademarks, Our Business Maybe Adversely Affected.
We are aware of names and marks similar to our service marks that are used by other persons in certain geographic areas. We believe such uses will not have a material adverse effect on us, as either the Baileys or Fox and Hound tradenames may be used if the other name is unavailable, but there can be no assurance that such marks will be available for use by us in all locations or that we will be able to secure the exclusive use of such marks. If we are unable to secure and maintain the exclusive use of our trademarks and tradenames, our business may be adversely affected.
Our Directors And Executive Officers And An Existing Stockholder Have Considerable Control Over Our Company, Which May Lead To Conflicts With Other Stockholders Over Corporate Governance.
Our directors and executive officers and Jamie B. Coulter beneficially own collectively approximately 25.3% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these persons, acting alone or together, will be able to significantly influence all
-12-
matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers and other business combination transactions, and they may exercise this ability in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders.
We Have Implemented Anti-Takeover Provisions That Could Discourage Or Prevent A Takeover, Even If An Acquisition Would Be Beneficial To Our Stockholders.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.
These provisions include provisions:
- | Establishing a classified board of directors requiring that members of our board of directors be elected in different years; | |||
- | Authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares, facilitate implementation of a stockholder rights plan (or poison pill) or change the balance of voting control and thwart a takeover attempt; | |||
- | Prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of our stockholders to elect director candidates; | |||
- | Limiting the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of our stockholders; and | |||
- | Establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by our stockholders at stockholder meetings. |
In addition, Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the terms of our employment agreements and Option Plans may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control.
A Single Vendor Handles Much Of Our Accounting and Administrative Services.
Franchise Services Company handles much of our accounting and administrative services. While we believe we could replace this vendor, any disruption of services by this vendor or any change to a new vendor could adversely affect our restaurants.
The Risk Of Future Terrorist Attacks May Adversely Impact Our Revenue.
Recent terrorist warnings, both in the United States and internationally, suggest the possibility of future terrorist attacks, which together with the unpredictability of future military action and other responses to such terrorist attacks has resulted in economic uncertainty. The occurrence of future terrorist attacks may adversely affect our business and make it more difficult to forecast our future results of operation.
Item 2. | Properties |
All of our restaurants are located in leased space with the exception of the restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina, which is owned by us. Most initial lease terms range from five to ten years, with multiple renewal options. All of our leases provide for a minimum annual rent, and some leases call for additional rent based on sales volume at the particular restaurant over specified minimum levels. Generally, the leases are net leases which require us to pay the costs of insurance, taxes and a portion of lessors operating cost. See Business-Locations.
Our executive offices are located at 9300 E. Central, Suite 100, Wichita, Kansas 67206. We believe there is sufficient office space available at favorable leasing terms in the Wichita, Kansas area to satisfy the additional needs of the Company that may result from future expansion.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Recent litigation against restaurant chains has resulted in significant judgments, including punitive damages, under dram shop statutes. A judgment significantly in excess of our insurance coverage or involving punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance, could materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Further, adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may materially adversely affect us and our restaurants.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the information set forth under Selected Financial Data and the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Restatement
Following a review of the accounting adjustments cited in several recent Form 8-K filings by other restaurant and retail companies, and in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, we determined that the adjustments in those filings relating to the treatment of lease accounting and leasehold amortization applied to the Company, and that it was appropriate to adjust certain of our prior financial statements. As a result, we have restated our consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 1997 through 2003 and for the first three quarters of 2004. Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, we recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term, with the term commencing on the initial date of the lease agreement. We also used only the initial non-cancelable lease term in the determination of capital leases. We amortized our leasehold improvements and other long-lived assets on those properties over a period that included both the initial non-cancelable lease term and all option periods provided for in the lease (or the useful life of the assets, if shorter). Additionally, tenant allowances received from the lessor were recorded as a reduction of the related leasehold improvements. We previously believed that these longstanding accounting treatments were appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles. We now have restated our financial statements to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years). The expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years), is also being utilized in the determination of capital leases. Additionally, the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements for amortization purposes was reduced from twenty years to fifteen years, or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is less. The lease term commences on the date when we have full access to the property. Lease expenses from the date we have full access to the property to the completion of construction are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Tenant allowances are being recorded as accrued rent when received and included as a reduction in the straight-line rent calculation described above. We also had one lease reclassified from operating to capital as a result of these adjustments. These adjustments were not attributable to any material non-compliance by us with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, or as a result of any misconduct. The Restatement is further discussed in Note 2, Restatement of Financial Statements under Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K.
The cumulative effect of the Restatement through fiscal 2003 as well as the impact of these adjustments on the consolidated income statements for 2002 and 2003 is shown in the tables below. The Restatement decreased reported diluted net earnings per share by $0.08 and $0.06 in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported cash balances, sales or same-restaurant sales or on our compliance with any covenant under our credit facility or other debt instruments. Further information on the nature and impact of these adjustments is provided in Note 2, Restatement of Financial Statements under Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K.

(2) | From December 29, 2004 through March 25, 2005 |
The components of our net sales are food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other (principally billiard table rental fees). For fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the components of net sales were as follows: (i) food and non-alcoholic beverages: 36.9% and 34.2%, respectively; (ii) alcoholic beverages: 56.8% and 58.3%, respectively; and (iii) entertainment and other: 6.3% and 7.5%, respectively. The trend of declining entertainment and other sales as a percentage of total sales is expected to continue as newer units generally have fewer billiard tables than older units and new menu conversions are expected to increase food sales as a percentage of total sales.
The components of our 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 our 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.
The provision for asset impairment reflects the charges made for the write down of certain underperforming restaurant assets. We periodically review our long lived assets that are held and used in our restaurant operations for indications of impairment. The provision for restaurant closing primarily includes the remaining lease obligation for closed 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 in this category.
In calculating comparable restaurant sales, we include a restaurant in the comparable restaurant base after it has been in operation for 18 full months. As of March 25, 2005, there were 60 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.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information under the caption Selected Financial Data, our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We operate on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending the last Tuesday in December. Fiscal years 2004 and 2003 each consisted of 52 weeks and fiscal year 2002 consisted of 53 weeks. Our fiscal quarters consist of three accounting periods of 12 weeks each and a final period of 16 or 17 weeks.

Fifty-two Weeks Ended December 28, 2004 Compared to Fifty-two Weeks Ended December 30, 2003
Net sales increased $27,456,000 (22.6%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $149,164,000 from $121,708,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, which was attributable to a 3.3% increase in annualized average weekly sales ($2,142,000 versus $2,073,000) and a 18.6% increase in store operating weeks (3,620 versus 3,052). Same store sales increased 1.1% for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004.
Costs of sales increased $8,613,000 (26.9%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $40,619,000 from $32,006,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 27.2% from 26.3%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was principally attributable to an increase in the cost of certain raw products and promotional costs offset by the impact of a price increase taken in the second quarter of 2004.
Restaurant operating expenses increased $15,303,000 (24.0%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $79,038,000 from $63,735,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 53.0% from 52.4%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was principally attributable to an increase in occupancy costs of new units and hourly wages offset by a decrease in the cost of liability insurance premiums and claims expense. The increase in hourly wages is related to higher labor costs associated with training on new menu conversions in 18 units during 2004.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1,447,000 (20.8%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $8,392,000 from $6,945,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, and remained consistent as a percentage of net sales at 5.7%.
Preopening costs increased $164,000 (9.0%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $1,986,000 from $1,822,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, and decreased to 1.3% from 1.5% as a percentage of net sales. Preopening costs for fiscal year 2004 were related to the opening of eleven restaurants in fiscal year 2004 and partial preopening costs related
-19-
to restaurants that will open in fiscal year 2005. Preopening costs for fiscal year 2003 were related to the opening of ten restaurants in fiscal year 2003 and costs related to restaurants that opened in fiscal year 2004.
The provision for asset impairment of $2,523,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004, reflects the charges made for the write down of restaurant assets related to two underperforming units in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The provision for asset impairment of $2,009,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, reflects the charges made for the write down of restaurant assets related to two underperforming units in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. We periodically review our long-lived assets that are held and used in our restaurant operations for indications of impairment. We generally do not include units less than 18-months old in this review as the first six months of operations reflect certain inefficiencies associated with start-up activities. The two units impaired in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 had been open less than 18 months as of December 30, 2003. As of December 28, 2004, we have no plans to close any of these units.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,227,000 (19.5%) for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $7,520,000 from $6,293,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, due to an increase in corporate infrastructure to support our expansion. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 5.0% from 5.2%.
Other income was $4,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 compared to $1,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003.
Gain on disposal of assets was $1,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 compared to a loss on disposal of assets of $57,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003. The loss in 2003 reflect the disposal of certain video games.
Interest expense decreased $97,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 to $243,000 from $340,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003. This decrease is due to a lower average balance applicable to our line of credit in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year partially offset by an increase in the interest rate on those borrowings during the current fiscal year.
The effective income tax rate on income was 30.3% for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 as compared to 32.4% for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003. This decrease was primarily due 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 and a decrease in the effective state tax rate.
Fifty-two Weeks Ended December 30, 2003 Compared to Fifty-three Weeks Ended December 31, 2002
Net sales increased $19,244,000 (18.8%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $121,708,000 from $102,464,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, which was attributable to a 0.8% increase in annualized average weekly sales ($2,073,000 versus $2,056,000) and a 17.4% increase in store operating weeks (3,052 versus 2,599). Same store sales decreased 2.2% for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003.
Costs of sales increased $5,191,000 (19.4%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $32,006,000 from $26,815,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 26.3% from 26.2%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was principally attributable to an increase in the cost of certain raw products offset by the impact of a price increase taken in the first quarter of 2003.
Restaurant operating expenses increased $11,435,000 (21.9%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $63,735,000 from $52,300,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 52.4% from 51.0%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was principally attributable to an increase in occupancy costs of new units and an increase in the cost of liability insurance premiums and claims expense.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1,057,000 (18.0%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $6,945,000 from $5,888,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 5.7% from 5.8%. This increase in expense is due to additional depreciation on ten restaurants opened since December 31, 2002, net of older restaurants with fully depreciated equipment during the year.
Preopening costs increased $168,000 (10.2%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $1,822,000 from $1,654,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, and decreased to 1.5% from 1.6% as a percentage of net sales. Preopening costs for fiscal year 2003 were related to the opening of ten restaurants in fiscal year 2003 and partial preopening costs related to restaurants that opened in fiscal year 2004. Preopening costs for fiscal year 2002 were related to the opening of twelve restaurants in fiscal year 2002 and costs related to restaurants that opened in fiscal year 2003.
The provision for asset impairment of $2,009,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003, reflects the charges made for the write down of restaurant assets related to two underperforming units in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. We periodically review our long-lived assets that are held and used in our restaurant operations for indications of impairment. We generally do not include units less than 18-months old in this review as the first six months of operations reflect certain inefficiencies associated with start-up activities.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,112,000 (21.5%) for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $6,293,000 from $5,181,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002, due to an increase in corporate infrastructure to support our expansion. General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 5.2% from 5.1%.
-20-
Other income was $1,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 compared to other expense of $46,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002. This expense in 2002 was related to the write-off of an interest in a limited partnership investment.
Loss on disposal of assets was $57,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 and $31,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002. The losses reflect the disposal of certain video games for both years.
Interest expense decreased $70,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 to $340,000 from $410,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002. This decrease is due to both a lower interest rate and lower average balance applicable to our line of credit in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year.
The effective income tax rate on income was 32.4% for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003 as compared to 35.8% for the 53 weeks ended December 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily due 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 and a decrease in the effective state tax rate.
Income from discontinued operations was $13,000 for the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2002 due to income applicable to the restaurant closed on March 31, 2002.
Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period and the results for one period may not be indicative of results for other periods. Our operating results may also fluctuate significantly because of several factors, including the timing of new restaurant openings and related expenses, seasonality, profitability of new restaurants, increases or decreases in comparable restaurant sales, general economic conditions, consumer confidence in the economy, changes in consumer preferences, competitive factors and weather conditions.
The timing of new restaurant openings may result in significant fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of the revenues and expenses associated with each new restaurant location. We typically incur most preopening costs for a new restaurant within the two months immediately preceding, and the month of, the restaurants opening. In addition, the labor and operating costs for a newly opened restaurant during the first three to six months of operation are materially greater than what can be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of restaurant sales. Our growth, operating results and profitability will depend to a large degree on our ability to increase the number of our restaurants.
We expect seasonality to continue to be a factor in our results of operations. Historically, our revenues have been moderately higher in the first and fourth quarters due to weather conditions, major sporting events and the year-end holidays. Our revenues in most of our restaurants have been lower during the summer months of each year, and we expect lower second and third quarter revenues to continue in the future. In addition, for accounting purposes, the first, second and third quarters of each fiscal year consist of 12 weeks and fourth quarter consists of 16 or 17 weeks. As a result, some of the variations in our operating results may be attributable to the different lengths of the fiscal quarters. These quarterly fluctuations may cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could cause our stock price to fall.
The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations include food, liquor and labor costs. Significant numbers of our personnel are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage which is currently $5.15 per hour. Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage will increase our labor costs. As costs of food and labor have increased, we have historically been able to offset these increases through economies of scale and improved operating procedures. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As is customary in the restaurant industry, we operate with negative working capital. Negative working capital increased $367,000 to $6,236,000 as of December 28, 2004 from $5,869,000 as of December 30, 2003. This increase is attributable primarily to the cost of purchases of property and equipment in excess of working capital provided by operations and net proceeds from the line of credit. Cash decreased $1,000 to $812,000 as of December 28, 2004 from $813,000 as of December 30, 2003. We do not have significant receivables or inventory and receive 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 we 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. On October 1, 2003, this line of credit was amended to extend the original term of the agreement by two years. All other terms of the agreement remained unchanged. The Line of Credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. The Line of Credit 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. 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 December 28, 2004, we had borrowed $3,680,000 under the Line of Credit. We are in compliance with all debt covenants.
Cash flows from operations were $22,216,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 compared to $17,495,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003. Purchases of property and equipment were $22,023,000 in the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2004 compared to $17,614,000 in the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2003. Net proceeds from the revolving note payable to bank were $45,000 for the 52 week period ending December 28, 2004 compared to net proceeds on the revolving note payable to bank of $1,095,000 for the 52 weeks ending December 30, 2003.
We intend to open ten to twelve new locations in fiscal year 2005 and twelve to fifteen in fiscal year 2006. At March 25, 2005, two restaurants had been opened in fiscal 2005, five restaurants were under construction and an additional four contracts had been executed. We are currently evaluating locations in markets familiar to our management team. However, the number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon our ability to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases. We expect to expend approximately $22 to $25 million to open new locations over the next twelve months.
We believe the funds available from the Line of Credit and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in our operating plans, the acceleration or modification of our expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, stock repurchases, potential acquisitions or other events will not cause the us to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated, prevent us from achieving the goals of our 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 us or at all.
A summary of our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts, including debt, lease agreements and the administrative services agreement is presented below. The long-term debt payments represent principal payments only. The Company must also make monthly interest payments on the outstanding debt balance at a rate of 1/2% below the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (4.75% at December 28, 2004).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Land, Buildings, and Equipment
Land, buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods, up to fifteen years, or the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from two to seven years, also using the straight-line method. Accelerated depreciation methods are generally used for income tax purposes.
Our accounting policies regarding land, buildings, and equipment, including leasehold improvements, include our judgments regarding the estimated useful lives of these assets, the residual values to which the assets are depreciated or amortized, and the determination as to what constitutes enhancing the value of or increasing the life of existing assets. These judgments and estimates may produce materially different amounts of reported depreciation and amortization expense if
-22-
different assumptions were used. As discussed further below, these judgments may also impact our need to recognize an impairment charge on the carrying amount of these assets as the cash flows associated with the assets are realized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews all units for impairment on a semi-annual basis at the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters of each year, or at other times during the year when events have occurred that may be indicators of potential impairment. New units are not included in this review until they have been open 18 months as the initial six months of operations reflect inefficiencies associated with start-up operations. The impairment review is performed by comparing the carrying value of the related assets to the expected undiscounted cash flows of each unit. A unit is deemed to be impaired if the carrying value of the related assets is more than the expected undiscounted cash flows for the unit. The amount of the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the fair value of the assets. Store assets typically consist of leasehold improvements, equipment, and furniture and fixtures.
The judgments we make related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of these assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in economic conditions, and changes in usage or operating performance. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, significant adverse changes in these factors could cause us to realize a material impairment charge.
Self-Insurance Accruals
As we have relatively high deductibles for expected losses under our workers compensation, employee medical, and general liability programs, we are effectively self insured for potential claims. Accrued liabilities have been recorded based on our estimates of the ultimate costs to settle incurred claims, both reported and not yet reported.
Our accounting policies regarding self-insurance programs include our judgments and independent actuarial assumptions regarding economic conditions, the frequency or severity of claims and claim development patterns, and claim reserve, management, and settlement practices. Unanticipated changes in these factors may produce materially different amounts of reported expense under these programs.
New accounting standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No.123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective third quarter 2005 for the Company, which is a revision of FASB Statement No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.
As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have an impact on our results of operations.
The Company expects to adopt Statement 123(R) during the third quarter 2005 using the modified-retrospective method restating prior periods. Had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the pro forma disclosures in the summary of significant accounting policies note to the consolidated financial statements.
Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under the current rules. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flow and increase net financing cash flow.
Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain 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, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. Our actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, potential increases in food, alcohol, labor, and other operating costs, changes in competition, the inability to find suitable new locations, changes in consumer preferences or spending patterns, changes in demographic trends, the effectiveness of our operating and growth initiatives and promotional efforts, and changes in government regulation. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In performing this evaluation, management reviewed the Companys policies and procedures for lease accounting. In conjunction with this review, management concluded that the Companys previously established policies and procedures for lease accounting were not in accordance with generally accounting principles in the United States. As a result, management determined that certain expenses, primarily restaurant operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses, were understated in prior periods. Accordingly, the Company has restated its previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of the errors noted in the Companys lease accounting practices. These errors resulted from an error in the Companys interpretation of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, similar to other restaurant and retail companies. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, the CEO and CFO each concluded that the related ineffective controls over the selection, monitoring, and review of assumptions and factors affecting lease accounting represented a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2004. Accordingly, the Companys CEO and CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Managements report
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as required by Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K and the related Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm, required by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K will be filed in an amendment to this Form 10-K within 45 days of the Companys initial 75-day filing period for the Companys Form 10-K as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 50754, Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting an Exemption from Specified Provision of Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 15d-1.
-24-
Remediation of material weakness
To remediate the material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting, subsequent to year end, the Company has implemented additional review procedures over the selection and monitoring of appropriate assumptions and factors affecting lease accounting and leasehold depreciation practices. No other material weaknesses have been identified as a result of managements assessment.
Internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 28, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended December 28, 2004, December 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 28, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 28, 2004, December 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective December 26, 2001.
As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 have been restated.

Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp.
1. Background and Significant Accounting Policies
| Background |
Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. (the Company) owns and operates a chain of restaurant locations under the Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille, Fox and Hound Pub & Grille, and Fox and Hound Smokehouse & Tavern (Fox & Hound), Baileys Sports Grille, Baileys Pub & Grille, and Baileys Smokehouse & Tavern (Baileys) brand names. As of December 28, 2004, the Company owned and operated 57 Fox & Hounds and 18 Baileys in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Company operates in one business segment.
The company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Tuesday in December. Fiscal years 2004 and 2003 each consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2002 consisted of 53 weeks.
| Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
| Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks or financial institutions, and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
| Concentration of Credit Risk |
The Companys financial instruments exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit financial institutions and, at times, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Depository insurance limit.
| Inventories |
Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
| Pre-opening Costs |
Costs related to pre-opening activities are expensed as incurred.
| Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance repairs and renewals which do not enhance the value of or increase the life of the assets are expensed as incurred.
Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the lease, including renewal options, or the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 15 years. Equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to seven years.
Costs of straight-line rent obligations and interest during the construction period are capitalized as leasehold improvements and amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 15 years.

1. Background and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
| Liquor Licenses |
The costs of obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses that are directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized. Such licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over ten years. Annual liquor license renewal fees are expensed.
| Goodwill |
Effective December 26, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment through a comparison of fair value to its carrying value. No goodwill impairment charges have been recorded through December 28, 2004.
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company reviews all units for impairment on a semi-annual basis at the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters of each year, or at other times during the year when events have occurred that may be indicators of potential impairment. New units are generally not included in this review until they have been open 18 months as the initial six months of operations reflect inefficiencies associated with start-up operations. The impairment review is performed by comparing the carrying value of the related assets to the projected undiscounted net cash flows of each unit. A unit is deemed to be impaired if the carrying value of the related assets is more than the expected undiscounted cash flows for the unit. The amount of the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the fair value of the assets. Store assets typically consist of leasehold improvements, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The impairment charge of $2,009 recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003 was related to two units having a current-period operating cash flow loss combined with a history of deteriorating cash flows. The impairment charge of $2,523 in the second quarter of 2004 was related to two units which had been open less than 18 months at December 30, 2003. These units had either a current period operating cash flow loss or nominal cash flow. Projected cash flows for these units did not demonstrate any improvement in future operating results. In both cases, the carrying value of the assets exceeded managements expectations of future undiscounted cash flows.
| Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| Deferred Revenue |
During 1999, the Company received an upfront payment of $150 from its soft drink provider. The Company recognized the upfront payment evenly over the five-year life of the soft drink contract.

1. Background and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenues from restaurant sales are recognized at the point food and beverages are delivered to the customer. Entertainment and other revenues principally include billiard table fees. The revenues from these fees are recognized when the tables are used by the customer. The sales of gift cards are recorded as unearned revenue until the gift cards are redeemed for food and beverages at which point revenue is recognized.
| Advertising Costs |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 28, 2004, December 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002 was $1,523, $1,181, and $1,203, respectively.
| Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company maintains stock option plans under which the Company may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors. Stock options have been granted with exercise prices at or above the fair market value on the date of grant. Options vest and expire according to the terms established at the grant date.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair market value of options granted. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the grant price is equal to or is above the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company, no compensation expense is generally recognized for stock options initially issued to employees. Proceeds from the exercise of common stock options issued to directors and employees under the Companys stock option plans are credited to common stock to the extent of par value and to additional paid-in capital for the excess.
On December 31, 2002, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, 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 2.9% 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 Companys 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 managements 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 options vesting period. The Companys pro forma information is as follows:

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective third quarter 2005 for the Company, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.
As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have an impact on our results of operations.
The Company expects to adopt Statement 123(R) during the third quarter 2005 using the modified-retrospective method restating prior periods. Had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the table above.
Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under the current rules. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flow and increase net financing cash flow.
| Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from estimates.
| Earnings per Share |
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options.

2. Restatement of Financial Statements
Following a review of lease accounting and leasehold amortization polices, we determined that it was appropriate to adjust certain of our prior financial statements. As a result, we have restated all of our historical consolidated financial statements. Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, we recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term, with the term commencing on the initial date of the lease agreement. We also used only the initial non-cancelable lease term in the determination of capital leases. We amortized our leasehold improvements and other long-lived assets on those properties over a period that included both the initial non-cancelable lease term and all option periods provided for in the lease (or the useful life of the assets, if shorter). Additionally, tenant allowances received from the lessor were recorded as a reduction of the related leasehold improvements. We now have restated our financial statements to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years). The expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years), is also being utilized in the determination of capital leases. Additionally, the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements for amortization purposes was reduced from twenty years to fifteen years, or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is less. The lease term commences on the date when we have full access to the property. Lease expenses from the date we have full access to the property to the completion of construction are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Tenant allowances are being recorded as accrued rent when received and included as a reduction in the straight-line rent calculation described above. We also had one lease reclassified from operating to capital as a result of these adjustments.
The cumulative effect of the Restatement through fiscal 2003 as well as the impact of these adjustments on the consolidated income statements for 2003 and 2002 is shown in the tables below. The Restatement decreased reported diluted net earnings per share by $0.08 and $0.06 in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported cash balances, sales or same-restaurant sales or on our compliance with any covenant under our credit facility or other debt instruments.

5. Note Payable
On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with Intrust Bank, N.A. (the line of credit) which provides for a line of credit of $20,000 subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of the past 52 weeks. On October 1, 2003, this line of credit was amended to extend the original term of the agreement by two years. All other terms of the agreement remained unchanged.
The line of credit is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The line of credit restricts the ability of the Company to pay dividends. The line of credit 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. Interest is accrued at a rate of 0.5% below the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (4.5% and 3.5% at December 28, 2004 and December 30, 2003, respectively). Proceeds from the line of credit were used for restaurant development and acquisition of treasury stock. As of December 28, 2004 and December 30, 2003, the Company had borrowed $3,680 and $3,635, respectively, under the line of credit. The Company had additional borrowings available at December 28, 2004 under the line of credit of $16,320.

6. Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
The Companys stock option plans are as follows:
| 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan | |||
In March 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan providing for incentive and nonqualified stock options pursuant to which up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock will be available for issuance. The Plan was amended in May 1999 to increase the number of authorized shares reserved for issuance to 1,600,000 shares from 1,500,000 shares. It was amended again in 2004 to increase the number of authorized shares reserved for issuance to 2,000,000 shares. The Plan covers the former Chairman of the Board, certain officers and key employees. Options granted have a vesting period of three to five years and a life of ten years. | ||||
| Directors Stock Option Plan | |||
In March 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan providing for nondiscretionary grants to nonemployee directors pursuant to which up to 150,000 shares of common stock will be available for issuance. The Plan was amended in May 2002 to increase the number of authorized shares reserved for issuance to 400,000 shares from 150,000 shares. Options issued under this plan have a vesting period of three years and a life of five years. |

7. Leases
The Company leases many of its facilities under noncancelable operating leases having terms expiring between 2005 and 2024. The leases have renewal clauses of 3 to 5 years, exercisable at the option of the Company. In addition, certain leases contain escalation clauses based on a fixed percentage increase and provisions for contingent rentals based on a percentage of gross revenues, as defined by the lease. The difference between the actual lease payments and the amount of rent expense recorded on a straight-line basis is recorded as accrued rent over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the

initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years). The lease term commences on the date when we have full access to the property. Tenant allowances are being recorded as accrued rent when received and included as a reduction in the straight-line rent calculation described above.
Total rental expense for the years ended December 28, 2004, December 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002 was $9,307, $7,483, and $6,029, respectively. Contingent rentals for the years ended December 28, 2004, December 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002 were $29, $9, and $86, respectively.
