ANGELO AND MAXIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Angelo and Maxies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2003 and July 1, 2002, and the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and July 1, 2002, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. These financial statements have not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting of a normal and recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim financial statements and footnotes are adequate, but should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2002.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
(2) SALE OF CHART HOUSE BUSINESS
In May 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the sale of the 38 Chart House restaurants and 1 Peohes restaurant (the Chart House Business). The sale was completed as of July 30, 2002, for consideration of approximately $55.3 million, consisting of cash and the assumption of approximately $3.1 million of certain current liabilities then outstanding. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay all amounts outstanding on its senior, secured debt and a subordinated note owed to a related party. See Note 4 Debt. The Company recorded a provision for estimated loss on sale of discontinued operations of $3.7 million in second quarter of 2002, which was revised to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of the elimination of net liabilities to landlords following the receipt of the landlords consent to assign certain leases to the Purchaser. In the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003, the Company further adjusted its liabilities associated with the sale resulting in a $13,000 gain. At June 30, 2003, the Purchaser had not yet paid approximately $0.2 million of the purchase price provided for in the asset purchase agreement. The Company has taken legal action to collect these funds. See Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Through July 29, 2002, the Company owned the Chart House Business which consisted of 38 Chart House and one Peohes restaurants, the operations of which have been reported as discontinued.

(3) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), which requires, among other things, that effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and certain other intangible assets resulting from a business combination accounted for as a purchase no longer be amortized, but be subject to ongoing impairment review. In connection with the transitional goodwill and certain other intangible assets impairment evaluation, SFAS 142 required the Company to perform an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill and certain other intangible assets were impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this evaluation, the Company determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and certain other intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. During the second quarters of 2002 and 2003, the Company completed its required review by comparing its carrying value for the Angelo and Maxies restaurant business to estimated fair market value. In determining the estimated fair market value of its assets, management considers several factors requiring the exercise of its business judgment. Such business judgment includes developing valuation multiples such as the ratio of total capitalized value to restaurant earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for an industry peer group of publicly traded companies and applying those ratios to the Companys historical and projected operating performance. Such evaluation indicated that the recorded value of goodwill and trade name of Angelo and Maxies was impaired by $5.4 million and $4.3 million at the end the second quarters of 2002 and 2003, respectively. The Company also recorded a $1.7 million charge during the second quarter of 2002 for severance expenses incurred due to the corporate work force reduction associated with the sale of the Chart House Business.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs from Exit or Disposal Activities (FAS 146). FAS 146 requires, among other things, that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the time of commitment to a formal shutdown plan. The adoption of FAS 146 is effective for all exit or disposal activities initiated subsequent to December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted FAS 146 as of January 1, 2003 with no material impact.
On June 30, 2003 the Companys lease on its Chicago corporate headquarters expired and the Company relocated to a space commensurate with its current needs. In connection therewith, the Company recorded a $0.1 million charge during the second quarter of 2003 resulting from the Company receiving lower than anticipated proceeds for the sale and disposal of its furniture and equipment located at the vacated facility.
(4) DEBT
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company prepaid, without penalty, two notes aggregating to $0.5 million that were held by one of its landlords. The notes originally were in the aggregate amount of $0.7 million, amortized over seven year terms, bore interest at 9.0%, and were payable in monthly installments. The Company made scheduled principal payments on these notes totaling $23,000 (prior to repayment) and $21,000 during the second quarterly periods of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $46,000 (prior to repayment) and $42,000 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and July 1, 2002, respectively. Interest expense and cash paid for interest related to these notes amounted to $7,000 and $13,000 for the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $18,000 and $26,000 for the six months periods ended June 30, 2003 and July 1, 2002, respectively.
During the quarterly and six month periods ended July 1, 2002, the Company had a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a group of three banks. At July 1, 2002, the Company had $24.6 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which accrued interest at the prime rate, plus 2.75% (7.5% at July 1, 2002). The balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement included $1.5 million funded by EGI-Fund (01) Investors, L.L.C. (EGI-Fund (01)), a related party, which accrued interest at LIBOR plus 14.0% (15.84% at July 1, 2002) due to the subordinate nature of the related partys participation in the Credit Agreement. Interest expense and cash paid for interest related to the Credit Agreement totaled $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2002. Interest expense and cash paid for interest related to the Credit Agreement totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the six month period ended July 1, 2002. On August 1, 2002, all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement were paid in full with net proceeds from the sale of the Chart House Business.
During the quarterly and six month periods ended July 1, 2002, the Company had a $5.0 million note owed to EGI-Fund (01), which accrued interest at the applicable Eurodollar rate plus 16.0%, which was 17.84% at July 1, 2002. Interest expense related to this note totaled $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the quarterly and six month periods ended July 1, 2002, respectively; no cash payments were made for interest related to this note during the periods. On August 1, 2002, the note owed to EGI-Fund (01) was paid in full with net proceeds from the sale of the Chart House Business.

(5) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 148). This Statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123) to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require prominent disclosures regarding the accounting for stock-based employee compensation in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company has previously adopted this Standard.
The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting. This method measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Companys common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Companys policy is to grant stock options to purchase the Companys stock at a price equal to fair market value at the date of grant. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense determined under the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as prescribed by FAS 123 and FAS 148, the Companys net loss applicable to common shares and per share amounts would reflect the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except for per share data):

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Payments to related parties for rent at one restaurant approximated $0.1 million in both the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, and approximated $0.2 million in both the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and July 1, 2002.
During 2001 and 2002, the Company was party to a marketing agreement with iDine Rewards Network, Inc. (iDine), a related party and owner of the iDine frequent diner program. In connection with the advance sale of discounted food and beverage credits, the Company received advertising in iDine publications and through the relationships iDine had established with major airlines to feature the Companys restaurants as preferred dining choices. iDine provided web and print promotional services that were designed to create incentives for members to dine at the Companys restaurants, especially during the Companys restaurants non-peak days. The Company received from iDine $1.0 million in the three month period ended April 1, 2002. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $1.2 million and $2.5 million during the quarterly and six month periods ended July 1, 2002, respectively, to iDine for its marketing services during those periods and for advances, including those received in the second half of 2001. This agreement was terminated as of July 29, 2002, in conjunction with the sale of the Chart House Business. See Note 2 Sale of Chart House Business. The Company has no further obligations under this agreement.
The Company has entered into a loaned employee agreement with iDine, which provides for, among other things, that the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer provide advisory services to iDines Executive Management Team for up to sixteen hours per week, in exchange for a fixed amount to be paid to the Company. The original agreement commenced May 19, 2003 and expired June 30, 2003. Subsequently, the agreement has been amended by the Company and iDine to extend the termination date from June 30, 2003 to August 8, 2003. See Note 8 Subsequent Events. During the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003 the Company recognized $13,000 of service revenues in connection with this agreement. The $13,000 of service revenues due to the Company was outstanding as of June 30, 2003.
On June 26, 2003, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space with a related party. This agreement provides for, among other things, that the landlord provide office space for the Companys six corporate employees and certain office services for $4,000 per month. This agreement is terminable by either party with a thirty day notice. The Company made no payments pursuant to this agreement in the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

The relationships stem from one or more Company stockholders and/or members of the Companys Board of Directors maintaining ownership interest in and influential management positions at or with these organizations.
(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company periodically is a defendant in litigation incidental to its business activities. While any litigation or investigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations.
The Company maintains letters of credit primarily to cover self-insurance reserves and lease obligations. In connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, and in order to minimize costs associated with outstanding letters of credit, the Company established a cash collateral account equal to the full balance of its obligations under outstanding letters of credit, which totaled $2.7 million at June 30, 2003. Such funds are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash, a non-current asset.
(8) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 6, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the sale of three of the Company's five Angelo and Maxie's Steakhouses. The transaction is subject to the completion of definitive agreements and is expected to close in January 2004.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved a recommendation from its President and Chief Executive Officer to further reduce his time commitment to the Company. In connection therewith, the Companys loaned employee agreement with iDine Rewards Network, Inc. (iDine) has been terminated. See Note 6 Related Party Transaction. The President and Chief Executive Officer has entered into an employment agreement with iDine for a senior management position at iDine commencing August 11, 2003. This employment agreement provides for, among other things, the President and Chief Executive Officers continued involvement with the Company.
(9) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. These disclosure requirements have been adopted by the Company. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees entered into subsequent to January 1, 2003. FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, which is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payment will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple events. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 and will apply the recognition and measurement provisions for all guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has not entered into or modified any guarantees subsequent to December 31, 2002.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined therein. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The Company currently has no contractual relationships or other business relationships with a variable interest entity and therefore the adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the current periods presented.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted this Standard on July 1, 2003, with no material impact.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
The Company consummated the sale of the Chart House Business, comprised of 39 of its then-existing 45 restaurants, as of July 30, 2002. The operations of these restaurants have been presented as discontinued operations for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2002, in accordance with FAS 144. The sale was completed for consideration of approximately $55.3 million, consisting of cash and the assumption of approximately $3.1 million of certain current liabilities. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale to repay all amounts outstanding under its Credit Agreement and a subordinated note owed to a related party.
The Company continues to operate five Angelo and Maxies Steakhouses, which are full-service steakhouse restaurants located in New York, Washington DC, Virginia, and Florida. The Company operated the following number of restaurants at the following period ends:

The Company acquired the Angelo and Maxies Steakhouse concept and one restaurant during 1999 to diversify its seafood dominated portfolio. The Company opened a total of six additional Angelo and Maxies restaurants over 2000 and 2001. One of these locations was closed during the fourth quarter of 2001 and another location was closed during the fourth quarter of 2002. During 2001, the Company canceled restaurant development plans for three locations, did not open any locations during 2002, and currently has no plans to open additional restaurants during 2003. The Company and its financial advisor continue the review of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the entire Company or the sale of the Angelo and Maxies Steakhouse concept and its five restaurants.

Angelo and Maxies revenues are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. Revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 4.6%, to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in revenues is due to the Companys exit from one restaurant during the fourth quarter of 2002. Comparable sales for the second quarter 2003 increased 1.8%.
Revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 5.9%, to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $14.1 million for the six months ended July 1, 2002. The decrease in revenues is due to the Companys exit from one restaurant during the fourth quarter of 2002. Comparable sales for the six month period increased 0.3%.
Cost of sales is composed of the cost of food and beverages. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.5 percentage points to 35.5% in the second quarter of 2003, compared with 35.0% in the second quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily the result of cost increases to certain beverage products coupled with the discounting of food items during happy hours at several of the Companys locations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased 0.1 percentage points to 35.7%, compared with 35.6% for the six months ended July 1, 2002, driven primarily by the same factors that impacted the quarterly results.
Restaurant labor consists of restaurant management salaries, hourly staff payroll costs, and other payroll-related items. Restaurant labor as a percentage of revenues decreased by 1.2 percentage points to 23.0% in the second quarter of 2003, compared with 24.2% in the second quarter of 2002. This improvement was primarily the result of the elimination of an underperforming restaurant in December 2002 that incurred higher labor costs than the Companys other restaurants coupled with productivity improvements at all of the remaining restaurant locations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 restaurant labor as a percentage of revenues decreased 0.8 percentage points to 23.1%, compared with 23.9% for the six months ended July 1, 2002, primarily due to the elimination of an underperforming restaurant in December 2002 that incurred higher labor costs than the Companys other restaurants coupled with productivity improvements at a majority of the remaining restaurant locations.
Other operating expenses consist primarily of various restaurant-level costs, which are generally variable and are expected to fluctuate with revenues. Other operating costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues decreased by 0.7 percentage points to 18.7% in the second quarter of 2003, compared with 19.4% in the second quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of lower marketing costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased 1.8 percentage points to 17.9%, compared with 19.7% for the six months ended July 1, 2002, driven primarily by the same factors that impacted the quarterly results.
Rent includes both fixed and variable portions of rent. Rent as a percentage of revenues increased by 1.2 percentage points to 9.3% in the second quarter of 2003, compared with 8.1% in the second quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of rent relief in the 2002 quarter related to an underperforming restaurant that was subsequently closed. The Company did not incur variable rent costs for any of its locations in either period. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, rent as a percentage of revenues increased 1.6 percentage points to 9.1%, compared with 7.5% for the six months ended July 1, 2002, primarily due to the same factors that impacted the quarterly results.
General and administrative expenses are composed of expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support restaurant operations, including management and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, legal and professional fees, technology, and market research. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in the quarterly periods is the result of the fixed general overhead costs being allocated entirely to five operating restaurants following the sale of the Chart House Business rather than being allocated both to continuing and discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the year-to-date costs are primarily due to the same factors that impacted the quarterly results.
Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of leasehold improvements at both the restaurants and corporate locations. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.1 million to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 primarily due to an impairment charge that was realized in the third quarter of 2002 related to corporate leasehold improvements, resulting in lower amortization expense in the current period compared with the prior period. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $0.2 million to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in the year-to-date results are primarily due to the prior period amount including the final amortization of a non-compete agreement related to a prior owner of the original Angelo and Maxies Steakhouse. In addition, an impairment charge was recognized in the third quarter of 2002 related to corporate leasehold improvements, resulting in lower amortization expense in the current period compared with the prior period.
During the second quarter 2003, the Company completed its required review by comparing its carrying value for the Angelo and Maxies restaurant business to estimated fair market value. In determining the estimated fair market value of its assets,
10
management considers several factors requiring the exercise of its business judgment. Such business judgment includes developing valuation multiples such as the ratio of total capitalized value to restaurant earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for an industry peer group of publicly traded companies and applying those ratios to the Companys historical and projected operating performance. Such evaluation indicated that the recorded value of the Angelo and Maxies trade name was impaired by $4.3 million at the end the second quarter 2003. In addition, on June 30, 2003 the Companys lease on its Chicago corporate headquarters expired and the Company relocated to a space commensurate with its current needs. In connection therewith, the Company recorded a $0.1 million restructuring charge during the second quarter of 2003 resulting from the Company receiving lower than anticipated proceeds for the sale and disposal of its furniture and equipment located at the vacated facility.
Interest expense, net, decreased $1.2 million to $22,000 in the second quarter of 2003, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. Interest expense, net decreased $1.9 to $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $2.0 in the six months ended July 1, 2002. The Company paid all outstanding bank and related party debt balances in full with the proceeds from the sale of the Chart House Business in the third quarter of 2002. The current quarter interest expense relates to an outstanding landlord note, offset by interest income earned on the Companys cash invested in overnight investment instruments. In addition, the Company recognizes non-cash interest expense related to a capital lease.
The Company issued Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share (Series A Preferred Stock), during June 2001. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum, based on the original issue price of $2.25 per share. The Company accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock aggregating $0.2 million during each of the second quarters of 2003 and 2002.

Historically, the Company required significant capital principally for the construction and opening expenses for new restaurants and for the remodeling and refurbishing of existing restaurants. The Company has funded its capital requirements through debt financing, both with third party banks and related parties, tenant improvement monies, equity financing, and cash flows from operations. The Company does not intend to fund any new restaurants or incur any major remodeling or refurbishing costs during fiscal 2003.
Net cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million in the first six months of 2003, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.2 million in the first six months of 2002. In 2003, net cash used in operating activities includes an aggregate $1.2 million related to payment of 2002 bonuses, severance payments related to employees terminated in conjunction with the sale of the Chart House Business, and settlement of prior period insurance claims. In 2002, operating cash flow from the Chart House Business contributed to the positive net cash results. In connection with an agreement with iDine Rewards Network, Inc. (iDine), the Company received $1.0 million in the six month period of 2002 for marketing activities and the advance sale of food and beverage credits. The Company in turn paid to iDine $2.5 million during the six month period of 2002 related to this agreement including advances received in 2001. This agreement was terminated as of July 29, 2002, in conjunction with the sale of the Chart House Business. The Company has no further obligations under this agreement.
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months of 2003 included capital expenditures of $27,000. Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2002 included capital expenditures of $121,000 for the replacement of restaurant equipment and leasehold improvements resulting from normal wear and tear.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.0 million in the first six months of 2003, including $0.5 million used to settle the payment of both scheduled payments and the early retirement and payoff of the landlord notes. There were no pre-payment fees or penalties associated with the early retirement of this debt obligation.
The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum, based on the original price of $2.25 per share. Dividends are payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. Dividends paid through June 1, 2002 were in the form of
11
additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in part, because the Companys Credit Agreement prohibited the payment of cash dividends. Subsequent to the retirement of amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, the Company began paying these dividends in cash. The Company paid in June 2003 its scheduled dividend of $0.5 million in cash. The Company expects to satisfy future dividend obligations in cash.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million in the first six months of 2002, primarily related to repayments under the Companys Credit Agreement.
The Company is liable under various capital and operating lease agreements, primarily related to restaurant locations. The Company is also contingently liable under letters of credit, primarily related to leasing obligations and self-insurance reserves, and guarantees on various third party leasing and debt agreements. No material changes have occurred regarding these commitments and contingencies from the Companys prior fiscal year ended December 30, 2002.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect the Companys operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. Set forth below is a description of those accounting policies which the Company believes are most critical and could have the greatest impact on its operations or financial condition.
Valuation of Exit Costs and Restructure Reserves. On an as-needed basis and subject to approval of the Companys Board of Directors, the Company establishes reserves for unusual and non-recurring items associated with the activities of exiting restaurant locations and reorganizing support staff to address changes in the Companys operations. This requires that management make estimates for cash inflows and outflows based on judgment, market conditions, advice from counsel and consultants, and historical experience. These estimates include, but are not limited to, future payments of rents, severance, legal and consulting costs, consideration for contract modifications, and proceeds from the sale of disposed assets. Because of factors beyond managements control, actual results may be different from the estimates, which may cause the Company to record adjustments in future periods. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs from Exit or Disposal Activities (FAS 146). FAS 146 requires, among other things, that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the time of commitment to a formal shutdown plan. The Company adopted this Standard as of January 1, 2003 with no material impact.
Impairment of Assets. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS 142, which requires, among other things, that effective January 1, 2002, goodwill resulting from a business combination accounted for as a purchase no longer be amortized, but be subject to ongoing impairment review. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its carrying value of restaurant assets and compares them with fair market value. In determining the fair market value of its assets, management considers several factors requiring the exercise of its business judgment. Such business judgment includes developing valuation multiples, such as the ratio of total capitalized value to restaurant earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for an industry peer group of publicly traded companies, and applying those multiples to the Companys historical and projected operating performance. If management determines that the fair market value of its assets is materially below the current carrying cost of the assets, an impairment charge is recognized in operating income in the period the impairment is identified.
Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. Costs for maintenance, repairs, and purchases are either expensed as incurred or capitalized and amortized over the costs estimated useful life. This requires management to make business judgments regarding which costs should be capitalized and, if capitalized, the estimated useful life. Management has established the Companys cost capitalization and deprecation policies based on historical experience in the restaurant industry, industry guidelines regarding useful lives, and adherence to applicable accounting standards. Maintenance, repairs, and minor purchases are expensed as incurred. Major purchases of equipment and facilities, and major replacements and improvements, are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are recorded for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over lives ranging from three to eight years. Leasehold interests and improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term, including planned extensions, or the asset life, ranging up to 25 years.
Self-Insurance Liability. The Company was self-insured through October 2002 for its workers compensation and general liability insurance programs, and continues to be self-insured for its employee health insurance program. The Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third party insurers to limit its total exposure. The accrued liability associated with these programs is based on managements estimate of the ultimate costs to be incurred to settle known claims and claims incurred, but not reported, as of the balance sheet date. Our estimated liability is not discounted and is based on a number of assumptions and factors, including historical
12
trends, actuarial assumptions, and economic conditions. If actual trends differ from our estimates, our financial results could be impacted.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. These disclosure requirements have been adopted by the Company. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees entered into subsequent to January 1, 2003. FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, which is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payment will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple events. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 and will apply the recognition and measurement provisions for all guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has not entered into or modified any guarantees subsequent to December 31, 2002.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 148). This Statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123) to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123) to require prominent disclosures regarding accounting for stock-based employee compensation in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1. The Company has previously adopted this Standard.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined therein. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The Company currently has no contractual relationships or other business relationships with a variable entity and therefore the adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted this Standard on July 1, 2003, with no material impact.
SEASONALITY
The Companys business is seasonal in nature, with revenues and operating income for the first and fourth quarters greater than in the second and third quarters as the Company benefits from urban, holiday, and winter vacation dining which is greater than the benefits associated with dining during leisure travel in the spring and summer quarters.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in market rates earned on cash equivalents and changes in commodity prices. The impact on the Companys results of operations of a one-point market rate change on its cash equivalent balance as of June 30, 2003, would not be material. The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage borrowing costs, reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in the interest rate, nor for trading purposes.
The Company purchases certain commodities such as beef, seafood, chicken, and cooking oil. These commodities are generally purchased based upon purchase agreements or arrangements with vendors. These purchase agreements or arrangements may contain features that fix the commodity price or define the price from an agreed upon formula. The Company does not use financial
13
instruments to hedge commodity prices because these purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid and any commodity price fluctuations are generally short term in nature.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of June 30, 2003, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic Exchange Act reports. There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On October 1, 2002, the Company filed a complaint in the Chancery Court for the State of Delaware against the Purchaser and escrow agent Fidelity National Title. This action alleges several breaches by the Purchaser of its contractual obligations under the asset purchase agreement related to the sale of the Chart House Business and under a related escrow agreement. Aggregate damages sought, without regard to interest or legal fees, were $1.8 million. The Company subsequently received $1.6 million through a release of escrowed funds and a payment made by the Purchaser during the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company has amended the complaint to release Fidelity National Title and continues to seek approximately $0.2 million, representing amounts that the Company believes the Purchaser wrongfully failed to pay under the asset purchase agreement, and also seeks related interest, costs, and attorneys fees. The Purchaser has filed a counterclaim, seeking a purchase price adjustment of $0.15 million. The Chancery Court has ruled that the Companys remaining claim should be transferred to the Superior Court for the State of Delaware and that the Purchasers counterclaim should be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism provided for in the asset purchase agreement.
The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter. The Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations.
The Company periodically is a defendant in litigation incidental to its business activities. While any litigation or investigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations.
