MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL. Morgan's Foods, Inc. ("the Company") operates through
wholly-owned subsidiaries KFC restaurants under franchises from KFC Corporation,
Taco Bell restaurants under franchises from Taco Bell Corporation and Pizza Hut
Express restaurants under licenses from Pizza Hut Corporation. As of May 23,
2002, the Company operates 76 KFC restaurants, 7 Taco Bell restaurants, 16
KFC/Taco Bell "2n1's" under franchises from KFC Corporation and franchises or
licenses from Taco Bell Corporation, 3 Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express "2n1's" under
franchises from Taco Bell Corporation and licenses from Pizza Hut Corporation
and 1 KFC/Pizza Hut Express "2n1's" under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a
license from Pizza Hut Corporation. The Company formerly operated six East Side
Mario's restaurants, a business segment which the Company had previously chosen
to discontinue (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). The
Company's fiscal year is a 52 - 53 week year ending on the Sunday nearest the
last day of February.
RESTAURANT OPERATIONS. The Company's KFC restaurants prepare and sell
the distinctive KFC branded chicken products along with related food items. All
containers and packages bear KFC trademarks. The Company's Taco Bell restaurants
prepare and sell a full menu of quick service Mexican food items using the
appropriate Taco Bell containers and packages. The KFC/Taco Bell "2n1"
restaurants operated under franchise agreements from KFC Corporation and license
agreements from Taco Bell Corporation prepare and sell a limited menu of Taco
Bell items as well as the full KFC menu while those operated under franchise
agreements from both KFC Corporation and Taco Bell Corporation offer a full menu
of both KFC and Taco Bell items. The Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express "2n1"
restaurants prepare and sell a full menu of Taco Bell items and a limited menu
of Pizza Hut items. The KFC/Pizza Hut Express "2n1" restaurant prepares and
sells a full menu of KFC items and a limited menu of Pizza Hut items. The East
Side Mario's restaurants were full service, mid-priced, casual family
restaurants inspired by New York City's famous "Little Italy" district of the
1950's.
Of the 103 KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants operated by the Company
as of May 23, 2002, 16 are located in Ohio, 60 in Pennsylvania, 16 in Missouri,
2 in Illinois, 7 in West Virginia and 2 in New York. The Company was one of the
first KFC Corporation franchisees and has operated in excess of 20 KFC
franchises for more than 25 years. Operations relating to these units are
seasonal to a certain extent, with higher sales generally occurring in the
summer months.
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS. All of the Company's KFC and Taco Bell
restaurants are operated under franchise agreements with KFC Corporation and
Taco Bell Corporation, respectively. The Company's KFC/Taco Bell "2n1"
restaurants are operated under franchises from KFC Corporation and either
franchises or licenses from Taco Bell Corporation. The Taco Bell/Pizza Hut
Express "2n1's" are operated under franchises from Taco Bell Corporation and
licenses from Pizza Hut Corporation. The KFC/Pizza Hut Express "2n1" restaurant
is operated under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a license from Pizza Hut
Corporation. The Company considers retention of these agreements to be important
to the success of its restaurant business and believes that its relationships
with KFC Corporation, Taco Bell Corporation and Pizza Hut Corporation are
satisfactory. For KFC products, the Company is required to pay royalties of 4%
of gross revenues and to
2
MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
PART I (CONT'D)
expend an additional 5.5% of gross revenues on national and local advertising
pursuant to its franchise agreements. For Taco Bell products in KFC/Taco Bell
"2n1" restaurants operated under license agreements from Taco Bell Corporation
and franchise agreements from KFC Corporation the Company is required to pay
royalties of 10% of Taco Bell gross revenues and to make advertising fund
contributions of 1/2% of Taco Bell gross revenues. For Taco Bell product sales
in restaurants operated under Taco Bell franchises the Company is required to
pay royalties of 5.5% of gross revenues and to expend an additional 4.5% of
gross revenues on national and local advertising.
For Pizza Hut products in "2n1" restaurants the Company is required to
pay royalties of 5.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues and to expend an additional
4.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues on national and local advertising. In May 1997,
the Company renewed substantially all of its existing franchise agreements for
twenty years. New 20 year franchise agreements were obtained for all 54
restaurants acquired in July 1999. Subject to satisfying KFC and Taco Bell
requirements for restaurant image and other matters, franchise agreements are
renewable at the Company's option for successive ten year periods. The franchise
and license agreements provide that each KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut Express
unit is to be inspected by KFC Corporation, Taco Bell Corporation and Pizza Hut
Corporation, respectively, approximately three or four times per year. These
inspections cover product preparation and quality, customer service, restaurant
appearance and operation.
COMPETITION. The quick service restaurant business is highly
competitive. Each of the Company's KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants competes
directly or indirectly with a large number of national and regional restaurant
operations, as well as with locally owned restaurants, drive-ins, diners and
numerous other establishments which offer low- and medium-priced chicken,
Mexican food and pizza to the public.
The Company's KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants rely on innovative
marketing techniques and promotions to compete with other restaurants in the
areas in which they are located. The Company's competitive position is also
enhanced by the national advertising programs sponsored by KFC Corporation, Taco
Bell Corporation, Pizza Hut Corporation and their franchisees. Emphasis is
placed by the Company on its control systems and the training of personnel to
maintain high food quality and good service. The Company believes that its KFC,
Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants are competitive with other quick service
restaurants on the basis of the important competitive factors in the restaurant
business which include, primarily, restaurant location, product price, quality
and differentiation, and also restaurant and employee appearance.
SUPPLIERS. The Company has been able to obtain sufficient supplies to
carry on its business and believes it will be able to do so in the future.
GROWTH. During fiscal 2002 the Company added a Pizza Hut Express each
to an existing KFC restaurant and an existing Taco Bell restaurant. During
fiscal 2001, the Company completed construction of KFC/Taco Bell "2n1"
restaurants in New Martinsville, WV and Lakewood, NY, added a concept to three
restaurants located in Pennsylvania, closed 4 KFC restaurants and sold the one
remaining former East Side

MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
PART I (CONT'D)
Mario's location. On July 14, 1999 the Company acquired the assets of 54
existing KFC and Taco Bell restaurants and the land and building of a
non-operating KFC restaurant from various subsidiaries of Tricon Global
Restaurants, Inc. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. As part
of this acquisition, the Company was granted the rights to develop 20 KFC, Taco
Bell or KFC/Taco Bell "2n1" restaurants in specific geographic areas. Under the
agreement, five restaurants are required to be developed each year over a four
year period. Also, during fiscal 2000, the Company acquired two KFC restaurants
in the Erie, PA market area and completed construction of restaurants in
Calcutta, OH and Troy, IL. On December 9, 1999 the Company sold four of the
remaining five former East Side Mario's restaurant locations to Steak & Ale, a
division of Metromedia Restaurants Group. See Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements for further details.
EMPLOYEES. As of May 23, 2002, the Company employed approximately 2,027
persons, including 56 administrative and 198 managerial employees. The balance
are hourly employees, most of whom are part-time. None of the restaurant
employees are represented by a labor union. The Company considers its employee
relations to be satisfactory.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company leases approximately 6,071 square feet of space for its
headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The lease expires February 28, 2005 and the
rent under the current term is $8,120 per month. The lease also contains a
renewal option of five years, which may be exercised by the Company. The Company
also leases space for a regional office in Youngstown, OH, which is used to
assist in the operation of the KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants.
Of the 103 KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants, the Company owns the
land and building for 57 locations, owns the building and leases the land for 25
locations and leases the land and building for 21 locations. 56 of the owned
properties are subject to mortgages. Additionally, the Company leases the land
and building for two closed locations. Remaining lease terms (including renewal
options) range from 3 to 27 years and average approximately 15 years. These
leases generally require the Company to pay taxes and utilities, to maintain
casualty and liability insurance, and to keep the property in good repair. The
Company pays annual rental for each leased KFC, Taco Bell or "2n1" restaurant in
amounts ranging from $18,000 to $86,000. In addition, 17 of these leases require
payment of additional rentals based on a percentage of gross sales in excess of
certain base amounts. Sales for 8 KFC and Taco Bell restaurants exceeded the
respective base amounts in fiscal 2002.
The Company believes that its restaurants are generally efficient, well
equipped and maintained and in good condition.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. During fiscal 2000 through 2002 the Company
operated KFC franchised restaurants, Taco Bell franchised restaurants and
various "2n1" restaurants which include the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut
concepts of which several also offer Taco Bell products, in the states of
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. The average
number of restaurants in operation during fiscal 2002 was 103 compared to 105
during fiscal 2001 and 77 during fiscal 2000. During fiscal 2002, the Company
added a concept to two restaurants. During fiscal 2001, the Company opened two
new KFC/Taco Bell "2n1" restaurants, added a concept to three restaurants and
closed four restaurants. During fiscal 2000, the Company acquired fifty-six
restaurants and built two new restaurants.
SUMMARY OF EXPENSES AS A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUES

Cost of sales:
Food, paper and beverage................. 30.6% 31.2% 31.4%

General and administrative expenses........ 6.1% 7.1% 6.9%
Operating income .......................... 6.7% 4.3% 6.0%
REVENUES. Revenue was $84,930,000 in fiscal 2002, an increase of
$6,790,000 or 8.7% compared to an increase of $14,534,000 or 22.9% in fiscal
2001.
The $6,790,000 increase in restaurant revenues during fiscal 2002 was
the result of an 8.2% increase in comparable restaurant revenues, $1,641,000 in
revenues generated from the extra week that occurred in fiscal 2002, and
$433,000 in revenues generated by locations where a concept was added or the
location was remodeled. The increases were partially offset by lost revenues of
$952,000 due to restaurants being permanently or temporarily closed. The
increase in comparable restaurant revenues was primarily the result of effective
product promotions by the franchisors. The $14,534,000 increase in restaurant
revenues during fiscal 2001 was the result of $16,319,000 in revenues generated
by newly built or acquired restaurants. This increase was offset by a 1.4%
decrease in comparable restaurant revenues and lost revenues of $1,364,000 due
to restaurants being permanently closed or temporarily closed for image
enhancements. The decline in comparable restaurant revenues was primarily the
result of ineffective franchisor product promotions. The $31,419,000 increase in
restaurant revenues during fiscal 2000 was the result of a 5.1% decrease in
comparable restaurant revenues, offset by $34,577,000 in revenues generated by
the 56 KFC's and Taco Bell's which were acquired and the two new KFC's which
were built during fiscal 2000. The decline in comparable restaurant revenues was
a result of several very effective promotions in the prior year and a somewhat
ineffective chicken sandwich promotion in fiscal year 2000 which also decreased
chicken on the bone sales.
Revenues for the 17 weeks ended March 3, 2002 were $25,966,000, an
increase of $3,393,000 due to an 8.1% increase in comparable restaurant revenues
and $1,641,000 in revenues generated from the extra
8
MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
PART II (CONT'D)
week that occurred during fiscal 2002. Revenues for the 16 weeks ended February
25, 2001 were $22,573,000, a decrease of $216,000 from the 16 weeks ended
February 27, 2000. This decrease was due to a comparable restaurant decrease of
2.0% and lost sales of $414,000 during the fiscal fourth quarter due to
restaurants being permanently closed or temporarily closed for image
enhancements, partially offset by $625,000 in revenues generated by newly built
or expanded restaurants.
COST OF SALES - FOOD, PAPER AND BEVERAGE. Food, paper and beverage
costs were $25,987,000 or 30.6% of sales in fiscal 2002 compared to $24,378,000
or 31.2% in fiscal 2001. Food, paper and beverage costs declined by .6% as a
result of several factors, including product promotions in fiscal 2002 having a
lower food cost than those promoted during fiscal 2001 and by efficiencies
gained due to higher average restaurant volumes. Food, paper and beverage costs
were also reduced by $259,000 received during fiscal 2002 as the result of a
settlement negotiated by FRANMAC, the Taco Bell franchisee association, with
certain system food suppliers. Food, paper and beverage costs were $24,378,000
or 31.2% of sales in fiscal 2001 compared to $19,955,000 or 31.4% in fiscal
2000. Food, paper and beverage costs declined by 0.2% of sales as a result of
incentive payments received or amortized to cost of sales under the Company's
beverage supply and marketing agreement which was partially offset by an
increase in chicken prices and unfavorable pricing for certain other products.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, food, paper and beverage costs
increased as a percentage of sales to 30.8% from 29.6% in fiscal 2001. The
increase of 1.2% of sales was primarily due to the timing of incentive payments
received or amortized to cost of sales under the Company's beverage supply and
marketing agreement and product promotions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002
having a higher food cost than those promoted during fiscal 2001.
COST OF SALES - LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits decreased to
26.1% of sales or $22,155,000 in fiscal 2002 from 26.5% of sales or $20,702,000
in fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily due to higher average restaurant
volumes, decreased benefit costs during the first three quarters of fiscal 2002
and improved operating efficiencies. Labor and benefits were substantially
unchanged as a percentage of revenue for the year ended February 25, 2001 at
26.5% of sales compared to 26.7% of sales for the year earlier, even though they
were expected to decline after digesting the 56 restaurant acquisitions from the
prior year. This higher labor and benefit cost percentage was primarily the
result of reduced labor efficiency caused by lower average restaurant volumes in
fiscal 2001.
Labor and benefit costs for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 increased
to 26.9% of sales or $6,993,000 compared to 26.0% of sales or $6,672,000 in
fiscal 2001. This increase was a result of increased workers compensation and
unemployment costs during the quarter.
RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses in fiscal
2002 increased to 25.7% of sales or $21,805,000 compared to 25.3% of sales or
$19,795,000 in the prior year. This was due mainly to higher repair and
maintenance costs and an increase in KFC national advertising expenses from 2.0%
of KFC revenues to 2.5% of KFC revenues. The increased advertising was approved
by the national advertising co-op

and will continue in future periods. Restaurant operating expenses in fiscal
2001 increased to 25.3% of sales or $19,795,000 compared to 24.4% of sales or
$15,523,000 in the prior year. This increase was mainly a result of increased
utility and rent costs including an adjustment of $357,000 in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2001 required to recognize fixed rent escalations on a straight-line
basis over the terms of the leases.
Restaurant operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002
decreased to 25.7% of sales or $6,683,000 from 27.0% of sales or $6,090,000 in
the year earlier quarter. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were less
than the prior year fourth quarter primarily due to the prior year fourth
quarter fixed escalation rent adjustment discussed above and higher average
restaurant volumes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization in fiscal
2002 increased to $3,866,000 from $3,817,000 in fiscal 2001. Depreciation and
amortization in fiscal 2001 increased to $3,817,000 from $2,672,000 in fiscal
2000. Both of these increases resulted from the Company's restaurant
acquisitions, restaurant expansions and newly built restaurants.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses decreased to $5,209,000 or 6.1% of revenues in fiscal 2002 from
$5,516,000 or 7.1% of revenues in fiscal 2001. The decrease of $307,000 was
mainly the result of improved cost control at both the Corporate and field
operations levels as well as the fees that were paid to an advisor in fiscal
year 2001. General and administrative expenses increased to $5,516,000 or 7.1%
of revenues in fiscal 2001 from $4,420,000 or 6.9% of revenues in fiscal 2000.
The increase of $1,096,000 was the result of operating the acquired and newly
built restaurants for the entire year, fees paid to an advisor to evaluate
strategic alternatives for the Company, and increased salary and benefit costs.
LOSS ON RESTAURANT ASSETS. In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded losses
of $215,000 as a result of an increase in the reserve for the costs necessary to
dispose of previously closed restaurants and the write off of previously
capitalized pre-construction costs related to projects which management has
determined will not be undertaken. In fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a loss
of $597,000 which was the result of the costs necessary to dispose of four
closed restaurants and an impairment loss of $133,000 for the excess of net book
value over fair value of a restaurant.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income in fiscal 2002 increased $2,358,000
to $5,693,000 from $3,335,000 in fiscal 2001. This increase was primarily the
result of higher average restaurant volumes, improved operating efficiencies and
the receipt of the settlement with certain Taco Bell system food suppliers
mentioned earlier. Operating income in fiscal 2001 decreased $510,000 to
$3,335,000 from $3,845,000 in the prior fiscal year due to the reasons discussed
previously.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense from bank debt and notes payable
increased to $5,174,000 in fiscal 2002 from $5,072,000 in fiscal 2001 primarily
as a result of the extra week that occurred during fiscal 2002. Interest expense
from bank debt and notes payable increased to $5,072,000 in fiscal 2001 from

$3,587,000 in fiscal 2000. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due to increased
borrowings to fund the acquisition and expansion of KFC and Taco Bell
restaurants. The Company opened two new restaurants and added a concept to three
restaurants during fiscal 2001. Interest expense from capitalized lease debt
decreased $9,000 to $72,000 in fiscal 2002 from $81,000 in fiscal 2001. Interest
expense from capitalized lease debt decreased $11,000 to $81,000 in fiscal 2001
from $92,000 in fiscal 2000. Both of these fluctuations were due to lower
principal balances during the years discussed.
OTHER INCOME. Other income was relatively unchanged at $159,000 in
fiscal 2002 compared to $148,000 in fiscal 2001 and $121,000 in fiscal 2000.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. On September 3, 1999, management made the
decision to discontinue the operation of its East Side Mario's restaurant
segment. On December 9, 1999 the Company sold four of the remaining five former
East Side Mario's restaurant locations. The Company sold the one remaining
former East Side Mario's location and the liquor license and equipment during
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001 and recorded a gain on the disposal
of the remaining assets of $150,000. The cash received as a result of these
transactions was used to pay off the capital lease obligations and other
expenses of the transactions. The results of operations of the discontinued
segment are shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Loss from
discontinued operations". There is no tax effect of the loss.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was $4,000
in fiscal year 2002 compared to $23,000 in fiscal 2001. This decrease was
primarily due to changes in estimated alternative minimum tax payments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company, like others in the
restaurant industry, operates on minimal working capital and relies on cash flow
from operations, debt borrowings and lease financing for the construction and
refurbishment of restaurant properties and repayment of debt. Cash flow activity
for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 is presented in the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 were $883,000, substantially all
of which related to the addition of concepts to restaurants, the addition of
equipment necessary for new products and Home Office and restaurant computer
equipment. In fiscal 2002 the Company made principal payments on long-term debt
of $2,264,000 and on capital lease obligations of $96,000.
The quick service restaurant operations of the Company have
historically provided sufficient cash flow to service the Company's debt,
refurbish and upgrade restaurant properties and cover administrative overhead.
Management believes that operating cash flow will provide sufficient capital to
continue to operate and maintain the KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants,
service the Company's debt and support required corporate expenses.
Certain of the Company's debt arrangements require the maintenance of a
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of its
mortgage loans and individual restaurant coverage ratios of 1.4 to
11
MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.

1 on certain of its loans. The Company was in compliance with the consolidated
ratio of 1.2 to 1 applicable to its loans. The Company was not in compliance
with the 1.4 to 1.0 unit level ratio on certain of its restaurants. The Company
has obtained waivers of these violations from the applicable lender. Management
expects to be in compliance with all financial covenants in future periods, or
to obtain amendments or waivers of any covenants.
The Company is currently not in full compliance with the American Stock
Exchange financial condition guidelines for continued listing. Specifically, the
guidelines indicate that any company with shareholders' equity less than
$4,000,000 and losses in 3 of its last 4 fiscal years may be considered for
delisting. This condition has been reviewed with representatives of the American
Stock Exchange who indicated that the Company's performance would continue to be
monitored by the Exchange.
The Company has been financing the expansion and image enhancement of
its restaurants primarily through the use of fixed rate long-term debt on which
the rate is fixed at the time of funding. At March 3, 2002 there was $50,894,000
of such debt outstanding at rates ranging from 8.3% to 10.6%. The Company's
market risk exposure is primarily due to possible fluctuations in interest rates
as they relate to future borrowings. The Company has evaluated the potential
effect of a 1.0% increase in these rates on future capital spending plans and
believes that there would be no material effect. The Company does not enter into
derivative financial investments for trading or speculation purposes. As a
result, the Company believes that its market risk exposure is not material to
the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
The Company expects to commit approximately $2,000,000 to image
enhancements and expansions of existing KFC restaurants during fiscal 2003.
SEASONALITY. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal
fluctuations. Historically, the Company's revenues and income have been highest
during the summer months with the fourth fiscal quarter representing the slowest
period. This seasonality is primarily attributable to weather conditions in the
Company's marketplace which consists of portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The Company's reported results are
impacted by the application of certain accounting policies that require it to
make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve estimations about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact
our quarterly or annual results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows. Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly affect results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future years. The Company
believes that its most significant policies require:
- Estimation of cash flows associated with the impairment of
long-lived assets and projected compliance with debt
covenants.
- Determination of the appropriate valuation allowances for
deferred tax assets and reserves for potential tax exposures.
See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of income taxes.

MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
PART II (CONT'D)
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
As specified therein, intangible assets acquired that are obtained through
contractual or legal right, or are capable of being separately sold,
transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged are recognized as assets apart from
goodwill. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all acquisitions subsequent to June 30,
2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain
intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach.
Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer subject to
amortization, but are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by
applying a fair value based test. The Company is required to implement SFAS No.
142 for the fiscal year beginning March 4, 2002 and it has not yet completed its
analysis of the effects of adopting this statement.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
associated asset retirement costs. The new rules apply to legal obligations
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and/or normal operation of a long-lived
assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2003. The
Company believes, at this time, that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not have
a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion).
SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to
be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired and
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal
transactions than were included under the previous standards. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 144 beginning in fiscal 2003, as required; however, adoption of
the statement is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Morgan's Foods, Inc.
Cleveland, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Morgan's Foods,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 3, 2002 and February 25, 2001 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 3, 2002. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Morgan's Foods, Inc. and
subsidiaries at March 3, 2002 and February 25, 2001 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 3, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 3, 2002, FEBRUARY 25, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 27, 2000
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Morgan's Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("the Company") operate 76 KFC restaurants, 7 Taco Bell restaurants, 16 KFC/Taco
Bell "2n1" restaurants, 3 Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express "2n1" restaurants and 1
KFC/Pizza Hut Express "2n1", in the states of Illinois, Missouri, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. The Company formerly operated six East
Side Mario's ("ESM") restaurants. The Company's fiscal year is a 52-53 week year
ending on the Sunday nearest the last day of February.
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 pending completion of
related events such as the recoverability of tangible and intangible asset
values, projected compliance with covenants of financing agreements and the
realization of the net deferred tax asset. These estimates and assumptions
affect the amounts reported at the date of the financial statements for assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to their current year presentation.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES. Inventories, principally food, beverages and paper
products, are stated at the lower of aggregate cost (first-in, first-out basis)
or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows: buildings and improvements - 3 to
20 years; equipment, furniture and fixtures - 3 to 10 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over 3 to 15 years, which is the shorter of the life
of the asset or the life of the lease. The asset values of the capitalized
leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the
respective leases which range from 15 to 20 years.
Management evaluates the net carrying value of property and equipment
periodically in light of both the estimated future cash flows resulting from the
use of the assets as well as the estimated liquidation value of such assets.
Management believes the carrying value of property and equipment at March 3,
2002 will be recovered from future cash flows.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS. Costs related to the acquisition of long-term
debt are capitalized and expensed as interest over the term of the related debt.
Amortization expense was $143,000, $145,000 and
22
MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 3, 2002, FEBRUARY 25, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 27, 2000
$106,000 for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The balance of
deferred financing costs was $1,261,000 at March 3, 2002 and $1,405,000 at
February 25, 2001 and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheets.
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS. Franchise agreements are recorded at cost.
Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the term of the
franchise agreement. The Company's franchise agreements are predominantly 20
years in length. Amortization expense was $132,000, $129,000 and $100,000 for
fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accumulated amortization was
$395,000 at March 3, 2002 and $263,000 at February 25, 2001, respectively.
ACQUIRED FRANCHISE RIGHTS. Acquired franchise rights are amortized over
the life of the franchise agreement on a straight-line basis. Amortization
expense was $539,000, $538,000 and $314,000 for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Accumulated amortization was $1,391,000 at March 3, 2002 and
$852,000 at February 25, 2001. Management evaluates the carrying amount of
acquired franchise rights periodically based upon past and projected cash flows
from operations and the estimated fair value of related assets and believes the
carrying value of the acquired franchise rights at March 3, 2002 will be
recovered from future cash flows.
ADVANCE ON SUPPLY AGREEMENTS. The Company amortizes advances on supply
agreements as a reduction of food, paper and beverage cost of sales over the
term of the related contract using the straight-line method. These advances of
$1,200,000 and $996,000 at March 3, 2002 and February 25, 2001, respectively,
are included in other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
LEASE ACCOUNTING. Operating lease expense is recognized on the
straight-line basis over the term of the lease for those leases with fixed
escalations. These accruals of $337,000 and $357,000 at March 3, 2002 and
February 27, 2001, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or
loss before tax for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets or
liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying
values for financial reporting purposes. A deferred tax asset is recorded for
the benefits of future deductible temporary differences and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized in the future,
based on an evaluation of historical and projected profitability.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. The Company's outstanding stock options are
accounted for using the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the
grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF RESTAURANTS AND ASSETS.
On December 9, 1999 the Company sold four of the remaining five former
East Side Mario's restaurant locations and recognized no gain or loss on this
transaction. The Company sold the one remaining former East Side Mario's
location and the liquor license and equipment during the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 2001 and recorded a gain on the disposal of the remaining
assets of $150,000. The cash received as a result of these transactions was used
to pay off the capital lease obligations and other expenses of the transactions.
The results of operations of the discontinued segment are shown in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Gain (loss) from discontinued
operations". There is no tax effect of the gain (loss). The East Side Mario's
restaurants formerly operated by the Company began in March 1993 and encompassed
six locations by April 1995. Comparable restaurant revenues for the East Side
Mario's segment had declined since fiscal 1996.
The results of operations for the East Side Mario's segment, reported
separately as a loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations, are as follows:

In fiscal 2002 and 2001 there were no operations for the East Side
Mario's segment.
On July 14, 1999 Morgan's Restaurants of Pennsylvania, Inc., Morgan's
Restaurants of Ohio, Inc., Morgan's Restaurants of West Virginia, Inc. and
Morgan's Foods of Missouri, Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of Morgan's
Foods, Inc., acquired the assets of 54 existing KFC and Taco Bell restaurants
and the land and building of a non-operating KFC restaurant from various
subsidiaries of Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. for cash in the amount of
$33,740,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
assets were recorded at fair value, and the operating results of these
restaurants are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from
the date of acquisition.
NOTE 3. LOSS ON RESTAURANT ASSETS.
During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized losses
totaling $215,000, $597,000 and $213,000, respectively, from the sale or
disposal of restaurant assets and the closing of unprofitable restaurants. These
restaurants did not have a material effect upon the Company's consolidated
results of operations or financial position.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above the Company has
significant borrowings which require compliance with various terms and
conditions including compliance with certain financial ratios, specifically a
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of its
mortgage loans and individual restaurant coverage ratios of 1.4 to 1 on certain
of its loans. The Company was in compliance with the consolidated ratio of 1.2
applicable to its loans. As of March 3, 2002 the Company was not in compliance
with the 1.4 to 1.0 unit level ratio on certain of its restaurants but has
obtained waivers of these violations from the applicable lender. Management
expects to be in compliance with all financial covenants in future periods, or
to obtain amendments or waivers of any covenants. Management believes that
operating cash flow will provide sufficient capital to continue to operate and
maintain the KFC, Taco Bell and "2n1" restaurants, service the Company's debt
and support required corporate expenses.

The Company's operating leases for restaurant land and buildings are
noncancellable and expire on various dates through 2019. The leases have renewal
options ranging from 1 to 17 years. Certain restaurant land and building leases
require the payment of additional rent equal to an amount by which a percentage
of annual sales exceeds annual minimum rentals. Total contingent rentals were
$64,000, $58,000 and $82,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Future
noncancellable minimum rental payments under operating leases at March 3, 2002,
are as follows: 2003 - $2,021,000; 2004 - $1,916,000; 2005 - $1,735,000; 2006 -
$1,454,000; 2007 - $1,260,000 and an aggregate $6,674,000 for the years
thereafter. Rental expense for all operating leases was $2,188,000, $2,465,000
and $1,824,000 for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
For KFC products, the Company is required to pay royalties of 4% of
gross revenues and to expend an additional 5% of gross revenues on national and
local advertising pursuant to its franchise agreements. For Taco Bell products
in KFC/Taco "2n1" restaurants operated under license agreements from Taco Bell
Corporation and franchise agreements from KFC Corporation, the Company is
required to pay royalties of 10% of Taco Bell gross revenues and to make
advertising fund contributions of 1/2% of Taco Bell gross revenue. For Taco Bell
product sales in restaurants operated under Taco Bell franchises the Company is
required to pay royalties of 5.5% of gross revenues and to expend an additional
4.5% of gross revenues on national and local advertising. For Pizza Hut products
in Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express "2n1" restaurants the Company is required to pay
royalties of 5.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues and to expend an additional 4.5%
of Pizza Hut gross revenues on national and local advertising. Total royalties
and advertising which are included in the Statements of Operations as part of
restaurant operating expenses were $8,514,000, $7,677,000 and $6,297,000 in
fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.
In fiscal year 2000 the Company signed an agreement which granted it
the rights to develop 20 KFC, Taco Bell or KFC "2n1" restaurants in specific
geographic areas. Under the agreement five restaurants are required to be
developed each year over a four year period. As of March 3, 2002 the Company has
developed 5 restaurants under this agreement and as such is not currently in
compliance with this agreement but does not believe that this will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 7. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period which totaled 2,851,160, 2,931,227 and 2,912,894 for fiscal 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is based
on the combined weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
which totaled 2,853,789, 2,931,227 and 2,912,894 for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, which includes the assumed exercise, or conversion of 11,500
options for 2002. For fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, 275,000 options were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their
antidulutive effect. In computing diluted net income (loss) per common share,
the Company has utilized the treasury stock method.

NOTE 9. STOCK OPTIONS AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY.
On April 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
Stock Option Plan for Executives and Managers. Under the plan 145,500 shares
were reserved for the grant of options. The Stock Option Plan for Executives and
Managers provides for grants to eligible participants of nonqualified stock
options only. The exercise price for any option awarded under the Plan is
required to be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the
date that the option is granted. Options are granted by the Stock Option
Committee of the Company. Options for the 145,500 shares were granted to
executives and managers of the Company on April 2, 1999 at an exercise price of
$4 1/8. As of March 3, 2002 the closing price of the Company's stock was $2.15
per share. The plan provides that the options are exercisable after a waiting
period of 6 months and that each option expires 10 years after its date of
issue.
At the Company's annual meeting on June 25, 1999 the shareholders
approved the Key Employees Stock Option Plan. This plan allows the granting of
options covering 291,000 shares of stock and has essentially the same provisions
as the Stock Option Plan for Executives and Managers which was discussed above.
Options for 129,850 shares were granted to executives and managers of the
Company on January 7, 2000 at an exercise price of $3.00.
The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its option grants for employees. Accordingly, no compensation
cost has been recognized for options granted as the Company believes options
were granted at fair market value at the date of grant. Had compensation cost
for the options granted been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for the awards under that plan consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share would have been presented at the pro forma amounts
indicated below:
2002 2001 2000
-------- ------- ---------
Net income (loss) Pro forma $596,000 $(1,680,000) $(774,000)

Basic and diluted income
(loss) per share Pro forma .21 (.57) (.27)
As reported .21 (.53) (.12)
In determining the pro forma amount of stock-based compensation on a
basis consistent with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each grant is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2002: no
dividend yield; expected volatility of 251%; risk free interest rate of 5.34%;
and expected life of 10 years.

On April 8, 1999, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in
which the Board of Directors declared a distribution of one Right for each of
the Company's outstanding Common Shares. Each Right entitles the holder to
purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a Series A Preferred Share (a
"Preferred Share") at a purchase price of $30.00 per Right, subject to
adjustment. One one-thousandth of a Preferred Share is intended to be
approximately the economic equivalent of one Common Share. The Rights will
expire on April 7, 2009, unless redeemed by the Company as described below.
The Rights are neither exercisable nor traded separately from the
Common Shares. The Rights will become exercisable and begin to trade separately
from the Common Shares if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 21%
or more of the then-outstanding Common Shares or announces an offer to acquire
21% or more of the then-outstanding Common Shares.
If a person or group acquires 21% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares, then each Right not owned by the acquiring person or its affiliates will
entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price,
fractional Preferred Shares that are approximately the economic equivalent of
Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, Common Shares, cash, property or
other securities of the Company) having a market value equal to twice the
then-current exercise price. In addition, if, after the Rights
30
MORGAN'S FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 3, 2002, FEBRUARY 25, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 27, 2000
become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction with an acquiring person or its affiliates or sells 50%
or more of its assets or earnings power to an acquiring person or its
affiliates, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's
then-current exercise price, a number of shares of the acquiring person's common
stock having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. The Board of
Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01
per Right, subject to certain limitations.
The dividend distribution was made on May 12, 1999, payable to
shareholders of record on that date. The initial distribution of Rights is not
taxable to shareholders.
The Company is currently not in full compliance with the American Stock
Exchange financial condition guidelines for continued listing. Specifically, the
guidelines indicate that any company with shareholders' equity less than
$4,000,000 and losses in 3 of its last 4 fiscal years may be considered for
delisting. This condition has been reviewed with representatives of the American
Stock Exchange who indicated that the Company's performance would continue to be
monitored by the Exchange.
NOTE 10. 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN.
The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Plan in which employees age 21 or
older are eligible to participate. The Company matches a percentage of employee
contributions. During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred $73,000,
$64,000 and $62,000, respectively, in expenses for matching contributions to the
plan.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.
Management believes that the fair value of the Company's debt at March
3, 2002 approximates carrying value, based upon interest rates obtained in
recent financing transactions.
NOTE 12. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS
No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. As specified therein, intangible
assets acquired that are obtained through contractual or legal right, or are
capable of being separately sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged are
recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all
acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain
intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach.
Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer subject to
amortization, but are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by
applying a fair value based test. The Company is required to implement SFAS No.
142 for its fiscal year beginning March 4, 2002 and has not yet completed its
analysis of the effects of adopting this statement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 3, 2002, FEBRUARY 25, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 27, 2000
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
associated asset retirement costs. The new rules apply to legal obligations
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and/or normal operation of a long-lived
assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal
operation of a long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company
beginning in fiscal 2003. The Company believes, at this time, that the adoption
of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion).
SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to
be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired and
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal
transactions than were included under the previous standards. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 144 beginning in fiscal 2003, as required; however, adoption of
the statement is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
