NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Schlotzsky’s, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Corporate Organization

During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, Schlotzsky’s, Inc. (“Schlotzsky’s”) formed several new wholly-owned Delaware limited liability companies: Schlotzsky’s Franchisor, LLC (“Franchisor”); Schlotzsky’s Brand Products, LLC (“Brand Products”); and Schlotzsky’s Franchise Operations, LLC (“Franchise Operations”). On June 7, 2003, Schlotzsky’s contributed to Franchisor, subject to a pledge as collateral under a $1 million credit facility, all of its intellectual property, including trademarks and service marks, and related economic interests in the payments to be received pursuant to the franchise agreements and brand licensing agreements for the Schlotzsky’s® Deli restaurant concept and brand, which had previously been executed by Schlotzsky’s and certain of Schlotzsky’s other subsidiaries. Franchisor thus became the franchisor of the Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant concept and licensor of the Schlotzsky’s Deli brand. Franchisor concurrently contributed the brand licensing agreements to Brand Products. Franchisor and Brand Products entered into a management agreement with Franchise Operations to manage the intellectual property, administer the franchise and brand license agreements and enter into new franchise and brand agreements

Schlotzsky’s and its subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company”.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2002, to correspond with the presentation used at September 30, 2003, and for the periods then ended.

Fiscal Year

The Company utilizes a “4-4-5 week” quarterly reporting schedule for royalties, restaurant operations and royalty service costs. As a result of this reporting schedule, the fiscal year will include 53 weeks of activity for these line items once every 5-6 years, further, 2003 will be such a year. The financial statements for the third quarter 2003 reflect 13 weeks of activity for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and 39 weeks activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, but the year-end financials will reflect 53 weeks for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 14 weeks for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The last financial period to reflect 53 weeks of activity was the year ended December 31, 1998.

Note 2. – Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the cost recognition provisions for stock-based compensation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 under the prospective method of adoption authorized by SFAS No. 148. The amount charged to expense during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $6,000 and $18,000, respectively. Had the Company adopted the cost recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 in 1995, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts shown (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Balance as of September 30, 2003	$	3,637	$	261	$	3,898

During the first quarter the Company, exercising its right of first refusal, acquired the operating assets of a franchised restaurant located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. The Company does not intend to operate the acquired restaurant, but acquired these assets primarily in order to facilitate the development of a Company-operated restaurant in the trade area that had been licensed to the franchisee.

The aggregate purchase price paid was $215,000. Of the purchase price, $8,000 was assigned to property, plant and equipment and $207,000 was assigned to goodwill. The goodwill was assigned to the restaurant operations segment, and is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

The Company acquired in the second quarter 2000 a 50% interest in a limited liability company engaged in the operation of a Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant. On September 27, 2003 the limited liability company regulations were amended transferring full control of the entity to the Company, resulting in the consolidation of the limited liability company into the Company’s financials effective the date of the modification. Goodwill in the amount of $311,000 was added to the balance sheet related to the consolidation of this entity.

Note 9. – Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has outstanding guarantees of indebtedness of others, including related parties, of approximately $27.5 million as of September 30, 2003. These guarantees include approximately $5.7 million of lease guarantees for the benefit of franchisees, approximately $13.5 million of mortgage loan guarantees for the benefit of franchisees and approximately $8.3 million of loan guarantees for the benefit of related parties.

The lease guarantees for the benefit of franchisees arose primarily through our former Turnkey program, in which the Company developed the restaurants, leased the restaurants to franchisees, and then sold them to a leasing company. The guarantees range from limited guarantees, either in dollar amount or term, to full guarantees for the life of the lease. The maximum guarantee for a single lease is approximately $1.3 million. Certain guarantees extend through 2018. The Company may be required by the lessor to make monthly rental payments or property tax and common area maintenance payments if the franchisee does not make the required payments in a timely manner. The Company has indemnification agreements with the franchisee under which the franchisee would be obligated to reimburse the Company for any amounts paid under such guarantees. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had accrued a liability of approximately $605,000 related to these guarantees, including a $574,000 provision made in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The Company also has a net deferred gain related to the sale of these leases in the amount of approximately $342,000 as of September 30, 2003.

The mortgage loan guarantees for the benefit of franchisees also arose primarily through the Company’s former Turnkey program, in which we developed the related restaurants, sold the restaurant to a franchisee, and guaranteed all or a portion of the franchisee’s mortgage loan. The guarantees range from limited guarantees, either in dollar amount or term, to full guarantees of the mortgage. The maximum amount of a single guarantee is approximately $1.0 million. Certain guarantees extend through 2016. The Company may be required by the lender to make monthly mortgage payments if the franchisee does not make the required payments in a timely manner, or the Company may be required to make up any deficiency, up to the amount of the guarantee, if the related restaurant is sold for net proceeds less than the amount of the outstanding mortgage. The Company has indemnification agreements with the franchisees under which the franchisee would be obligated to reimburse the Company for any amount paid under such guarantees. In the event that the Company purchases the loan from the lender in the event of a default, the Company would succeed to the lender’s security interest in the related property.

The loan guarantees in favor of related parties primarily arose when the Company guaranteed certain debt of related parties for which the proceeds of the loans were used to repay outstanding debt to the Company. Two of the guarantees, for the benefit of our restaurant venture and our real estate venture, are of mortgage debt totaling approximately $4.1 million. These guarantees extend through 2009 on one note and through 2016 on the other note. A third guarantee, of a bank note in the amount of approximately $4.2 million as of September 30, 2003, is for the benefit of Schlotzsky’s NAMF Funding, LLC, the advertising entity of the Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant system, for which the Company had received a portion of the net proceeds of the loan in repayment of outstanding debt to the Company. This guarantee expires in 2004. In connection with the original guarantee of the $4.3 million advertising entity bank note, which was made in June 2003, a liability in the amount of $43,000 was accrued under the terms of FASB Interpretation No. 45.

In addition, pursuant to a guarantee of a franchisee’s debt obligation, the Company purchased that obligation from a bank, in the amount of approximately $665,000. Of that amount, approximately $298,750 is mature and past due, and is expected to be paid in full by the end of the year.

Note 10. – Adopted accounting pronouncements

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) interpretation No.45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others.” FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures required of a guarantor in its financial statements, and clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, upon making a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the guarantee. FIN 45 is applicable to guarantees made or modified after December 31, 2002. As discussed below, the Company has guaranteed the indebtedness of others in the past, and may do so in the future, but the adoption of FIN 45 has not had a material impact on our financial statements for the quarter or year to date ended September 30, 2003.

Note 11. – Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The FASB has issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities whose equity holders have not provided sufficient equity to allow the entity to finance its own activities or whose equity holders lack the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective September 30, 2003 for entities formed after February, 2003 and effective December 31, 2003 for entities formed before February, 2003. The Company is reviewing the provisions of FIN 46 and awaiting further clarification by the FASB on the application of FIN 46 to franchisors, but at this time the Company anticipates no material effect from the adoption of FIN 46.

Note 12. – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is named a defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings cannot be projected with certainty. The following are proceedings in which the plaintiffs have alleged significant damages. Based on its knowledge of these matters and its experience to date, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

New Florida Markets, Ltd. v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc., Schlotzsky’s Franchise Limited Partnership, Schlotzsky’s Franchisor, LLC, Schlotzsky’s Franchise Operations, LLC, Schlotzsky’s NAMF, Inc., and Schlotzsky’s NAMF Funding, LLC, (Case No. 701140045603) was filed on or about June 23, 2003 with the American Arbitration Association. Claimant is the area developer for the Tampa, Orlando, and West Palm Beach development areas. On July 14, 2003, Deli Keys, Ltd., an area developer for the Miami development area, joined the arbitration as an additional Claimant. They allege that Respondents frustrated their ability to develop, in part because of the Company’s Turnkey program. Claimant also alleges Respondents breached the Area Developer Agreements by failing to provide adequate licensing support, negotiating with license prospects, failing to establish and administer a local advertising group, pledging royalties, changing the area developer manual, refunding franchise fees, and forcing Claimants to purchase errors and omissions insurance. Other claims include breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, constructive termination, and violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Claimants seek actual, compensatory, and punitive damages of an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and costs. The case is not yet set for hearing.

Comerica Bank vs. James E. Wright, John D. Wright, Lorraine Wright, and Kimberly Wright v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc. and Schlotzsky’s Real Estate, Inc., in the Circuit Court for the County of Genessee, State of Michigan (Case No. 02-74931), was filed on or about June 30, 2003 as a Third Party Complaint in a foreclosure action. Third Party Plaintiffs are principals and guarantors of J. Wright Franchise Development, LLC, a former franchisee that had operated a Schlotzsky’s Deli in Grand Blanc, Michigan and filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In January 2003, Schlotzsky’s Real Estate, Inc. filed suit against John and James Wright for collection of $283,872.68 due under a promissory note. In the instant case, Third Party Plaintiffs allege that they were induced into participating in the Company’s Turnkey program and that an employee of the Company represented that the restaurant would attain a certain level of sales. Third Party Plaintiffs’ claims include fraud in the inducement, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the Michigan Franchise Investment Act. They seek damages of an unspecified amount in excess of $25,000, attorneys’ fees, and costs. The case is not yet set for trial.

Russell R. Kesterson and Steven P. Schmidt v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc., Ron Lynch and Jane Doe Lynch, John Does I—X, Jane Does I—X, ABC Corporations I—X, XYZ Companies I—X, (Case No. CV2002-021158) was filed on October 31, 2002, in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona. Plaintiffs were franchisees of the Company and owned and operated a Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. The Complaint includes claims of breach of contract, interference with business expectancy, interference with business relationship, unfair competition and negligence. Plaintiffs allege that a “superstore” owned by Lynch and/or our affiliates encroached on their business and allege that we failed to collect royalties from the “superstore,” creating unfair competition. Plaintiffs further state that they attempted to relocate their restaurant but that we failed to approve a proposed alternative location and that we induced one of their employees to work for a competing restaurant. Plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages, including treble damages, attorney’s fees, and costs. On December 3, 2002, we filed a petition styled Schlotzsky’s, Inc., v. Russell R. Kesterson and Steven P. Schmidt, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (Civil Action No. AO2CA 768SS) to compel Plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims in Austin, Texas. The federal court entered an order on December 20, 2002, granting our petition to compel arbitration in the manner provided in the franchise agreement and enjoined Kesterson and Schmidt from pursuing any of their claims in the lawsuit pending in Arizona. To date, we are unaware of any subsequent demand for arbitration filed by either Kesterson or Schmidt.

Robert Coshott v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc. (Cause No. GN 1-02279), was filed on July 24, 2001, in the 200th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. Plaintiff is the Master Licensee for Australia and New Zealand, and he opened a Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. Plaintiff brings causes of action for fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation. Plaintiff alleges that he experienced problems with certain equipment specified or approved by the Company, that the Company’s system and equipment did not generate enough finished food product to service his potential customers; that the Company misrepresented the level of revenue the restaurant could reasonably be expected to achieve; that the Company delayed his ability to develop restaurants by failing to timely secure certain trademarks and trade names; and that the Company misrepresented whether it would allow Plaintiff to franchise Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurants in certain gas station or convenience store locations in his territories. Plaintiff requests actual and punitive damages of $3.75 million plus lost profits and incidental and consequential damages of an unspecified amount. The case is not yet set for trial. On July 23, 2003, Coshott also filed a Demand for Arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce styled Robert Gilbert Coshott v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc. (Case. No. TBD). The claims in the Demand are similar to those brought in the above-entitled action and include additional allegations that the Company required the purchase of goods and services from certain suppliers in violation of the Trade Practices Act of 1974 and that the Company failed to disclose the existence of a predecessor Master License Agreement, in violation of the Fair Trading Act of 1987 (New South) Wales, breach of contract, and equitable estoppel. Claimant seeks unspecified actual, compensatory and punitive damages, lost profits, attorneys’ fees, prejudgment interest, and costs. At present, no arbitration hearing date has been set.

Dae Kim, DWK Enterprises, Inc., and Aecon International, Inc. v. John Wooley, Schlotzsky’s, Inc., Schlotzsky’s Franchising Limited Partnership, Schlotzsky’s N.A.M.F., Inc., Schlotzsky’s National Advertising Association, Inc., and Schlotzsky’s, Brands, Inc., Schlotzsky’s Brand Products, L.P., Schlotzsky’s Real Estate, Inc., and Schlotzsky’s Restaurants, Inc. (Cause No. 2001-CI-13672) was originally filed in the 73rd Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas on or about September 25, 2001 (after a similar lawsuit was filed and later withdrawn in Harris County, Texas) against Schlotzsky’s, Inc., John Wooley, Schlotzsky’s Franchising Limited Partnership, and Schlotzsky’s NAMF, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiffs are, or claim to be, franchisees in Houston and San Antonio Texas, and Plaintiff Kim was an area developer for those markets. Plaintiffs bring causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, civil conspiracy, tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relationship, violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act, restraint of trade, detrimental reliance-fraud in the inducement, and defamation-business disparagement. They seek an unspecified amount of money damages plus exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees, pre-judgment interest, costs, and a jury trial. Defendants, except for Mr. Wooley, who was previously dismissed from the case, answered and asserted counterclaims alleging breach of contract and that Plaintiffs’ claim under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act is groundless in fact or in law and brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, and seeking money damages, costs of court, penalty fees, costs incurred in performing the accounting, attorneys’ fees, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Defendants (except for Mr. Wooley) removed the case to federal court. The case was remanded to state court on April 17, 2003. The case is not yet set for trial.

in exchange for Schlotzsky’s agreement to purchase seven other properties. The Company purchased one of the properties located in Texas. Plaintiffs are seeking an order requiring us to purchase the other six properties, two of which are in Texas, and one each in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Tennessee, for a total purchase price of over $4.5 million. In the alternative, Plaintiff is seeking damages or an order reinstating the previously released guaranties. Plaintiff’s claims include breach of contract and a request for attorneys’ fees. A trial date has been set for February 16, 2004.

See also the discussion under "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Form 10-Q filed August 14, 2003 and Form 10-Q filed May 15, 2003.

In addition to the matters discussed above, we are defendants in various other legal proceedings arising from our business. The ultimate outcome of these pending proceedings cannot be projected with certainty. However, based on our experience to date, we believe such proceedings will not have a material effect on our business or financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies require estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and require subjective judgments. Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly impact our results of operations and financial conditions in future periods.

• Determination of the appropriate valuation allowances for accounts and notes receivable.

Our accounts and notes receivable are primarily from franchisees of the Schlotzsky’s Deli system. We require personal guarantees for all franchise accounts and, for notes receivable, generally obtain a secondary secured interest in the related property and equipment or rights. Many of the notes receivable are fully subordinated to the franchisee’s senior mortgage debt. In reviewing the adequacy of the valuation allowances for accounts and notes receivable, we consider factors such as historical collection experience, the estimated value of personal guarantees and real property collateral, the franchisee’s sales and operating trends, including potential for improvement in operations, and general and local economic conditions that may affect the franchisee’s ability to pay. Actual realization of amounts receivable could differ materially from our estimates.

• Determination of appropriate valuation allowances for real estate held for sale.

Our real estate held for sale consists primarily of pad sites. As these sites are being actively marketed, they are periodically assessed for estimated net realizable value. Factors considered in this assessment are offers and letters of intent received on properties, discussions with local real estate brokers, property tax and bank appraisals, sale prices of similar properties and level of activity and interest exhibited by potential buyers. Actual realizeability could differ materially from our estimates.

• Determination of appropriate valuation allowances for intangible assets.

Amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of amounts paid to reacquire various developer and franchise rights. Annually, and whenever an event or circumstance indicating impairment may be present, we compare projected undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the related assets to determine if impairment has occurred. In estimating future cash flows, we consider such factors as current results, trends, future prospects, and other economic factors. Actual future cash flows could differ materially from our estimates.

• Determination of appropriate valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.

Our deferred tax assets represent deferred expenses and losses that will offset future income tax liability. If the Company is unable to generate income tax liability resulting from future net income the value of this tax asset would be impaired. The Company considers such factors as current trends, operating margins and future system growth in determining projected net income, and projected net income is used to assess realizable value of the deferred tax asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following table reflects the changes in the Schlotzsky’s Deli system for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Systemwide data reflects both franchised and Company-operated restaurants. Percentage changes in sales-related data are based on comparison to the same period in the previous fiscal year.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002

REVENUE. Total revenue decreased 8.2% to $13,849,000 from $15,093,000.

ROYALTIES decreased 20.2% to $3,977,000 from $4,984,000. The decrease was due to a decreased number of franchised restaurants during the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the comparable period in 2002, and decrease in same store contractual sales of 10.6% during the third quarter of 2003.

FRANCHISE FEES increased to $17,000 from $0.

DEVELOPER FEES decreased 37.3% to $37,000 from $59,000. The decrease was primarily due to the expiration of amortization of fees received under certain agreements.

RESTAURANT SALES increased to $7,937,000 from $7,935,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average number of restaurants operated by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the comparable period of 2002. The increase was offset by a 9.8% decrease in same store sales during the third quarter of 2003. As of September 30, 2003, there were 39 Company-operated restaurants, compared to 36 at September 30, 2002, of which 25 and 21, respectively, were available for sale restaurants.

SCHLOTZSKY’S DELI BRAND LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) decreased 12.0% to $1,601,000 from $1,820,000. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in systemwide contractual sales for the quarter. Approximately 90% of these licensing fees are derived from sales to the franchise system and the remaining 10% to distribution channels outside Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurants.

OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 4.4% to $281,000 from $294,000. The decrease was due to a decrease in expired franchise fees.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased 16.8% to $17,188,000 from $14,715,000.

SERVICE COSTS decreased 39.8% to $607,000 from $1,008,000, and as a percentage of royalties and franchise fees decreased to 15.2% from 20.4%. This decrease was due to the Company’s reacquisition of certain area developer territory rights during the third quarter of 2002 and a decrease in royalty revenue.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS EXPENSES increased 4.4% to $7,874,000 from $7,541,000. On an overall basis, expenses, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, are higher at restaurants available for sale, and the proportion of available for sale restaurants to total Company-operated restaurants was higher in this year’s third quarter than last year’s comparable period.

RESTAURANT COST OF SALES increased 7.7% to $2,419,000 from $2,247,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 30.5% from 28.3% due primarily to product testing and to an increase in beverage costs.

RESTAURANT PERSONNEL AND BENEFITS COST increased 4.6% to $3,458,000 from $3,305,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 43.6% from 41.7%. The increase, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was due to the effect of lower average sales on manager salaries, inefficiencies of a restaurant opened the second quarter of 2003, and opening labor costs at two other restaurants.

RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES increased 0.4% to $1,997,000 from $1,989,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 25.2% from 25.1%. The increase in operating costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was primarily due to opening costs on a restaurant opened the previous quarter and a restaurant under development as well as a tax assessment on one restaurant location, offset by opening costs of two restaurants the prior year.

EQUITY LOSS ON INVESTMENTS increased to a loss of $321,000 from a loss of $59,000. The equity investment loss represents the consolidation of the cumulative losses of the limited liability company that operates a Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant that opened in 2000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 47.2% to $7,115,000 from $4,834,000, and increased to 51.4% from 32.0% as a percentage of total revenue. The increase from the prior year quarter was principally due to increased franchisee meeting and convention expenses, increased legal and professional expenses, the accrual of separation costs, and the recognition of approximately $1,867,000 of previously deferred financing costs that were recognized in the third quarter due to the indefinite delay of a securitized debt offering.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION decreased 0.2% to $1,271,000 from $1,273,000. The change resulted from an increase due to acquired assets offset by a decline due to certain assets being fully amortized during the period presented.

INTEREST INCOME decreased 55.5% to $53,000 from $119,000, primarily due to a decrease in notes receivable balances.

INTEREST EXPENSE increased 19.8% to $955,000 from $797,000 due primarily to the incurrence of debt related to the Company’s acquisition of territorial rights of the Company’s largest area developer in middle of the third quarter of 2002.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES increased to $1,463,000 from $60,000 for the comparable period last year principally due to the net loss we experienced this quarter and because the effective rate increased. The provision reflects a combined federal and state effective tax benefit rate of 34.5% for the third quarter of 2003, which was lower than the effective combined tax rate of 20.0% for the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to certain state taxes being based in part on factors other than income.

NET INCOME decreased to a loss of $2,776,000 from a loss of $240,000 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, were $(0.38) for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to $(0.03) in the prior year quarter.

Supplemental Restaurant Operations Information – Performance of Long-term Portfolio Deli Restaurants

The following table is presented for the Schlotzsky’s Delis in the Company’s long-term portfolio for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, this restaurant group included nine restaurants in the Austin area, two in College Station, Texas and one in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. This group includes eleven freestanding restaurants (ten recently constructed and one older facility converted from another concept) and one shopping center endcap restaurant. In accordance with the Company’s internal management reporting practices for consistent comparisons, line item categories have been expanded and percentages are calculated based on gross sales, instead of net sales as used elsewhere in this report. Facility costs vary by restaurant because some facilities are rented and some are owned. The table provides the average percentage results for each line item for the twelve Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurants in the long-term portfolio group as a whole, as well as the best and worst percentage performance for each line item for any restaurant in the group.

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2003		Percentage of Gross Sales		Best Percentage Performance		Worst Percentage Performance
	(in thousands)
Gross sales	$	3,507	100.0	%

* Represents the actual best and worst percentage performance for a restaurant in the group. The best and worst performance on a composite basis would be 30.9% and 0.7%, respectively.

** Represents the actual best and worst percentage performance for a restaurant in the group. The best and worst performance on a composite basis would be 29.6% and –8.9%, respectively.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002

REVENUE. Total revenue decreased 9.3% to $41,941,000 from $46,242,000.

ROYALTIES decreased 18.2% to $12,566,000 from $15,368,000. The decrease was due to a decreased number of franchised restaurants during the nine month period in 2003 compared to the comparable period in 2002 and a decrease in same store contractual sales of 11.3%.

FRANCHISE FEES decreased 67.7% to $20,000 from $62,000. The decrease was principally the result of a lower fee for current year openings of franchised restaurants as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in franchise fee per restaurant opening is due to the openings in the current year being international restaurants under master license agreements where our franchise fee is lower.

DEVELOPER FEES decreased 26.8% to $131,000 from $179,000. The decrease was primarily due to the expiration of amortization of fees received under certain agreements.

RESTAURANT SALES decreased 2.2% to $23,550,000 from $24,075,000. The decrease was primarily due to a 8.5% decrease in same store sales during the first nine months of 2003, partially offset by an increase in the average number of restaurants operated by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the comparable period of 2002. As of September 30, 2003, there were 39 Company-operated restaurants, compared to 36 at September 30, 2002, of which 25 and 21, respectively, were available for sale restaurants.

SCHLOTZSKY’S DELI BRAND LICENSING FEES (BRAND CONTRIBUTION) decreased 12.9% to $4,961,000 from $5,694,000. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in systemwide contractual sales for the period. Approximately 90% of these licensing fees are derived from sales to the franchise system and the remaining 10% to distribution channels outside Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurants.

OTHER FEES AND REVENUE decreased 17.4% to $713,000 from $863,000. The decrease was due to a decrease in expired franchise fees.

OPERATING EXPENSES increased 12.2% to $48,419,000 from $43,152,000.

SERVICE COSTS decreased 40.8% to $1,938,000 from $3,276,000, and as a percentage of royalties and franchise fees declined to 15.4% from 21.3%. This decrease was primarily due to the Company’s reacquisition of certain area developer territory rights during the third quarter of 2002, as well as a decrease in royalty revenue.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS EXPENSES increased 5.2% to $23,308,000 from $22,147,000. The use of some Company-operated restaurants in the long-term portfolio for product, process and equipment testing and for systemwide training also adversely impacts their operating performance. On an overall basis, costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, are higher at restaurants available for sale, and the proportion of restaurants available for sale to total Company-operated restaurants was higher this year than last year.

RESTAURANT COST OF SALES increased 2.7% to $6,939,000 from $6,755,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 29.5% from 28.1% due primarily to product testing and an increase in beverage costs.

RESTAURANT PERSONNEL AND BENEFITS COST increased 5.1% to $10,268,000 from $9,767,000, and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 43.6% from 40.6%. The increase, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was due to the effect of lower average sales on manager salaries, inefficiencies of a restaurant opened in the second quarter, and preopening labor costs at two other restaurants.

RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES increased 8.5% to $6,101,000 from $5,625,000 and increased as a percentage of net restaurant sales to 25.9% from 23.4%. The increase in operating costs, as a percentage of net restaurant sales, was primarily due to preopening costs on a restaurant opened the previous quarter and a restaurant under development as well as a tax assessment on one restaurant location.

EQUITY LOSS ON INVESTMENTS increased to a loss of $472,000 from a loss of $137,000. The equity investment represents the Company’s 50% interest in a limited liability company that operates a Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant that opened in 2000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 33.6% to $18,898,000 from $14,149,000, and increased to 45.1% from 30.6% as a percentage of total revenue. The increase from the prior year period was principally due to increased provisions for uncollectible accounts and debt guarantees, increased franchisee meeting and convention expense, increased legal and professional expenses, accrual of separation costs and the recognition of previously deferred financing costs that were recognized in the third quarter due to the uncretain timing and terms of a securitized debt offering.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 10.5% to $3,803,000 from $3,443,000. The increase was primarily due to the amortization of reacquired area developer territory rights and depreciation related to an increase in the average number of Company-operated restaurants during the first nine months of 2003 as compared to the prior year period.

INTEREST INCOME decreased 39.4% to $261,000 from $431,000. The decrease was due to the decrease in the amount of outstanding notes receivable, an increase in the nonrecognition of interest income on certain underperforming notes receivable, and the cash receipt of $77,000 in interest on a nonaccruing note receivable in the first nine months of 2002.

INTEREST EXPENSE increased 45.0% to $2,980,000 from $2,055,000 due primarily to the incurrence of debt related to the Company’s acquisition of territorial rights of the Company’s largest area developer in middle of the third quarter of 2002.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES reflected a combined federal and state effective tax benefit rate of 33.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which was lower than the effective combined tax rate 40.2% for the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to certain state taxes being based in part on factors other than income.

NET INCOME decreased to a loss of $6,110,000 from income of $876,000 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share, both basic and diluted, were (0.83) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $0.12 in the comparable period in the prior year.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The loan guarantees in favor of related parties primarily arose when the Company guaranteed certain debt of related parties for which the proceeds of the loans were used to repay outstanding debt to the Company. Two of the guarantees, for the benefit of our restaurant venture and our real estate venture, are of mortgage debt totaling approximately $4.1 million. These guarantees extend through 2009 on one note and through 2016 on the other note. A third guarantee, of a bank note in the amount of approximately $4.2 million as of September 30, 2003, is for the benefit of the advertising entity of the Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurant system, for which the Company had received a portion of the net proceeds of the loan in repayment of outstanding debt to the Company. This guarantee expires in 2004. In connection with the original guarantee of the $4.3 million advertising entity bank note, which was made in June 2003, a liability in the amount of $43,000 was accrued under the terms of FASB Interpretation No. 45.

The Company has been called upon, from time to time, to make payments on obligations the Company has guaranteed. During the first nine months of 2003, the Company paid approximately $534,000 in various lease guarantees for the benefit of franchisees. In addition, pursuant to a guarantee of a franchisee’s debt obligation, the Company purchased that obligation from a bank, in the amount of approximately $665,000, of which approximately $298,750 is mature and past due, and is expected to be paid in full by the end of the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $187,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and decreased $2,277,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Cash flows are impacted by operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating activities provided $5,862,000 of cash in the first nine months of 2003 and $3,844,000 of cash in the first nine months of 2002. The increase in cash provided was the net result of a decreased use of cash for certain working capital accounts, increased provision for uncollectible accounts and debt guarantees, increased depreciation and amortization and a decrease in the amount of deferred revenue amortized, partially offset by a net loss for the period and provision (credit) for deferred taxes.

Investing activities provided $402,000 and used $2,688,000 of cash in the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in cash used in 2003 compared to 2002 was the net result of an increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate held for sale and increase in collections of notes receivable, partially offset by a decrease in expenditures for intangible assets and new Company-operated restaurants.

Financing activities used $6,450,000 and $3,434,000 of cash in the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in cash used in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the comparable period of 2002 is primarily the net result of increased repayments of debt, partially offset by increased borrowings and reduced sales of common stock.

At September 30, 2003, we had approximately $50,420,000 of total debt outstanding. Scheduled maturities of debt through September 30, 2004 approximate $9,771,000 (including short-term debt). In addition, one of our mortgages requires the application to the mortgage of the net cash proceeds from the sale of certain real estate held for sale.

Certain of our mortgage debt require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, including debt-to-equity and working capital. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with or had obtained waiver of such covenants. However, any failure to remain in compliance with the restrictive covenants of the Company’s mortgages in the future could have material adverse consequences to the Company.

The following tables present certain of our obligations to make future payments, excluding interest payments, under contracts and contingent commitments as of September 30, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period As of September 30, 2003
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		After 5 years

Short-term Debt	$	1,009	$	1,009	$	—	$	—	$	—
Long-term Debt	49,411		8,762		29,759		2,139		8,751
Operating Leases	19,478		2,458		6,244		2,224		8,552

Other Commercial Commitments	Total Amounts Committed		Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period As of September 30, 2003

We have experienced net reductions in the number of restaurants systemwide quarterly since early 2000 and have experienced negative same store contractual sales quarterly since mid-2001. While we have developed and implemented strategies, including the re-imaging of restaurants, the introduction of an enhanced menu with new items and combinations, workforce reductions, general and administrative expense reductions, salary adjustments, and the resumed marketing of our franchise licensing program, in an effort to reverse and mitigate the impact of these trends, we expect that the number of restaurants will continue to decline during the fourth quarter of 2003 and possibly thereafter. Continuation of these trends would have a material adverse impact on our royalty revenue, brand contribution, cash flow and liquidity.

On July 31, 2003 we effected a reduction in force eliminating 39 positions on the corporate staff, reducing the personnel employed at our corporate headquarters or as field personnel to approximately 110. We believe that these reductions, along with certain salary adjustments, began to impact operating results in the third quarter of 2003, but were offset by separation expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2003. The impact of these position reductions and salary adjustments will begin to be reflected in the fourth quarter of 2003, but we will not see the full effect until 2004. We have developed and are implementing plans to significantly reduce non-compensation general and administrative expenses and certain employee benefits in an effort to achieve a reduction in total general and administrative expenses of at least $4 million on an annualized basis.

We plan to develop additional Company-operated restaurants in the future. One Company-operated restaurant opened in the Austin area in June 2003. We also have acquired building sites for four additional restaurants in the Austin area and entered into a lease for a site in the Houston area. Sites for additional restaurants in Texas and other markets are under consideration. However, we do not plan to pursue development of these sites until we have obtained the necessary financing to fund this growth in our Company-operated restaurants.

We are currently attempting to generate additional working capital with third party financing and are pursuing financing alternatives, including senior debt, real estate mortgages, and asset-backed financing secured by our intellectual property and related royalty rights and agreements. While we are in discussions with several potential lenders at this time, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available or accomplished. Should these discussions not result in an acceptable financing, we would need to continue to seek additional financing that would be sufficient, with our operating income, to allow us to fund our operating expenses and debt service. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing during the fourth quarter of 2003 or is unable to negotiate waivers or favorable payment terms with creditors, the Company's ability to fund its continuing operations and working capital needs would be materially adversely affected.

Because of the decline in restaurant count and the debt obligation under certain seller financed debt which matures in 2005, the Company has increased its accounts payable during 2003. The Company has extended the payment terms for many of its vendors, and this change in terms is primarily responsible for the $3,953,000 shown as changes in accounts payable. Waivers and deferred payment terms have been negotiated and, in some cases, are being negotiated with certain of these creditors. The Company intends to improve vendor terms once its liquidity situation improves, and plans on using future financing to reduce accounts payable and improve aging of vendor accounts.

Schlotzsky’s Franchisor, LLC entered into a loan agreement in November 2003 in the amount of approximately $2,500,000 with John C. Wooley and Jeffrey J. Wooley (the “Loan”). The Loan is secured generally by our intellectual property, contract rights, and other intangibles. The Loan matures in January 2004 and has an interest rate of 6.75%. The proceeds of the Loan will be used to pay certain accounts payable and to provide additional liquidity to the Company while we seek a longer term financing solution. In connection with the Loan, theWooleys will receive $1.00 as payment. The Wooleys have provided several additional personal guarantees in the past for other loans and leases to the Company and its affiliates, including our advertising fund.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other material included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, or the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events, or circumstances and may not be realized because they are based on our current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risk factors and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements concerning earnings or other financial item projections, the plans and objectives of management, future economic performance, new restaurant development, future Schlotzsky’s Deli brand products, and assumptions underlying or relating to any other forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, an inability of the Company or our franchisees to obtain adequate financing, an inability to make full and timely payments or satisfy other obligations to creditors and other accounts payable, increased competition within the restaurant industry, the continued viability of restaurants during a weak economy, the results of arbitration and litigation, an inability to sell restaurants, a failure to successfully recruit multi-unit and single-unit franchisees, failure to adequately motivate franchisees to remodel and reimage their restaurants and to fully implement the enhanced menu, and stock volatility and illiquidity.

Because of the risks and uncertainties related to these factors and the forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that any events or results described in any forward-looking statement will actually occur or be achieved.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described above and in other documents filed by us with the Commission. Readers are specifically directed to the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in short-term interest rates on loans from financial institutions could materially affect the Company’s earnings because the interest rates charged on certain underlying obligations are variable.

At September 30, 2003, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $67,000 in annual pre-tax earnings. The estimated decrease is based upon the increased interest expense of the Company’s variable rate debt and assumes no change in the volume or composition of debt at September 30, 2003.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and our Controller have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and they have concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. We maintain a system of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect, in all material respects, our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed. There were no significant changes to our internal controls that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and Controller, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Schlotzsky’s Brand Products, L.P., Schlotzsky’s Real Estate, Inc., and Schlotzsky’s Restaurants, Inc. (Cause No. 2001-CI-13672) was originally filed in the 73rd Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas on or about September 25, 2001 (after a similar lawsuit was filed and later withdrawn in Harris County, Texas) against Schlotzsky’s, Inc., John Wooley, Schlotzsky’s Franchising Limited Partnership, and Schlotzsky’s NAMF, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiffs are, or claim to be, franchisees in Houston and San Antonio Texas, and Plaintiff Kim was an area developer for those markets. Plaintiffs bring causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, civil conspiracy, tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relationship, violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act, restraint of trade, detrimental reliance-fraud in the inducement, and defamation-business disparagement. They seek an unspecified amount of money damages plus exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees, pre-judgment interest, costs, and a jury trial. Defendants, except for Mr. Wooley, who was previously dismissed from the case, answered and asserted counterclaims alleging breach of contract and that Plaintiffs’ claim under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act is groundless in fact or in law and brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, and seeking money damages, costs of court, penalty fees, costs incurred in performing the accounting, attorneys’ fees, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Defendants (except for Mr. Wooley) removed the case to federal court. The case was remanded to state court on April 17, 2003. The case is not yet set for trial.

U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating L.P. v. Schlotzsky’s, Inc. (Cause No. 03-01758) was filed on February 27, 2003, in the District Court of Dallas County, B-44th Judicial District. Plaintiff is a real estate investment company that owns certain Schlotzsky’s Deli restaurants and leases them to franchisees. It alleges that in 1997 and 1998 we entered into several agreements where we agreed to guarantee certain lease agreements. Plaintiff states that in 1998 the parties entered into an agreement whereby Plaintiff agreed to release Schlotzsky’s from its guaranty obligations pertaining to six properties in which the tenants had defaulted, in exchange for Schlotzsky’s agreement to purchase seven other properties. The Company purchased one of the properties located in Texas. Plaintiffs are seeking an order requiring us to purchase the other six properties, two of which are in Texas, and one each in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Tennessee, for a total purchase price of over $4.5 million. In the alternative, Plaintiff is seeking damages or an order reinstating the previously released guaranties. Plaintiff’s claims include breach of contract and a request for attorneys’ fees. A trial date has been set for February 16, 2004.
