SBARRO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:

On January 31, 2007, entities controlled by MidOcean Partners III, LP, a private equity firm, and certain of its affiliates (“MidOcean”) acquired Sbarro, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “Sbarro” or the “Company”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”). MidOcean SBR Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sbarro Holdings, LLC, merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger. Sbarro Holdings, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MidOcean SBR Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). Sbarro Holdings, LLC owns 100% of our outstanding common stock and Holdings owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of Sbarro Holdings, LLC.

MidOcean owns approximately 76% of Holdings and thus acquired control of the Company in the Merger. Certain of our senior managers acquired approximately 5% of the outstanding equity of Holdings in connection with the Merger, with the balance of the equity of Holdings being owned by other investors.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X related to interim period financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Sbarro and our subsidiaries at June 27, 2010, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009 and cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain items in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2010 presentation. Reference should be made to our annual financial statements, including footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.

Liquidity

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Merger. Our other liquidity needs fund our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures. Cash flow generated during our fourth quarter is critical to achieving positive annual operating cash flow. Adverse macroeconomic factors, including reduced mall traffic during the holiday shopping season and a decline in consumer spending among other factors can negatively impact achieving our projected operating cash flow. Additionally, we experience pressures related to increasing commodity costs, particularly cheese and flour.

On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of our Term Loan by entering into the new Second Lien Facility, permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, and replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and after such goal is obtained, a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. Our ability to borrow funds under our revolver is subject to compliance with our debt covenant requirements. On July 1, 2010 we drew the remaining amount available under our Revolving Facility and have no additional availability under the Senior Credit Facilities.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with our Senior Credit Facilities (“bank credit agreement EBITDA”), was $44.7 million for fiscal 2009 and $41.7 million for the twelve months ending with the second quarter of 2010. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 27, 2010. Our ability to meet or exceed our third quarter minimum trailing twelve months bank credit agreement EBITDA covenant of $40.0 million relies significantly on our same store sales trend versus the prior year. In order to comply with our third quarter minimum EBITDA covenant, our third quarter same store sales trend versus prior year would need to improve relative to our second quarter same store sales trend, and at the same time, our costs would need to be favorable to the prior year. If we fail to achieve this mix of increased sales and lower costs, we may not comply with our minimum EBITDA covenants for the third quarter.

SBARRO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

Our minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant, as calculated in accordance with our amended bank credit agreement, increases at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 by $3.0 million dollars to $43.0 million. Our ability to meet our fourth quarter minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant relies significantly on our company owned same store sales trend versus prior year. Our comparable sales percentage change versus the prior year is highly dependent on the level of traffic in shopping malls during the fourth quarter holiday shopping season. Based on our recent trends, we would need a significant upturn in the general economy and a significant change to our second quarter trend to achieve positive same store sales versus prior year to satisfy the minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant for the fourth quarter, and at the same time our costs would need to be favorable to the prior year. If we fail to achieve this mix of increased sales and lower costs, we may not comply with our minimum EBITDA covenants for the fourth quarter.

We are unable to control commodity costs which can impact our ability to satisfy our minimum EBITDA covenants. Specifically, commodity costs can also fluctuate with cheese and flour currently being the most volatile. For example, a $.20 variance in the price of block cheese or a $.10 variance in the price of a pound of flour would affect our costs by approximately $250 thousand and $300 thousand in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Our Senior Credit Facility provides for certain cures in the event of noncompliance with our minimum EBITDA covenants. Covenant violations can be cured with cash payments made by our principal shareholders. Such cure amounts are equal to the shortfall, provided the shortfall does not exceed ten percent of our last twelve months bank EBITDA, and can be added to our minimum twelve month EBITDA for the next four quarters. An equity cure can only be completed twice within each twelve month period. Our principal shareholders have no obligation to provide such funds.

Based upon our cash balance of $12.1 million at June 27, 2010, along with the $5.4 million borrowings drawn under our revolver in July 2010 and our revised 2010 forecast, we believe that cash flows generated from operations during 2010, along with our cash on hand, will be sufficient for us to meet our debt service requirements and fund working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. It is possible that our actual results may differ materially from our revised 2010 forecast or that we are unable to obtain a waiver or cure an event of noncompliance with our minimum EBITDA covenants, and then we would not have sufficient cash to meet our obligations and substantial doubt would exist about our ability to continue as a going concern at that time.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” This statement amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. We adopted this new guidance specified in the “Consolidation” topic of the Accounting Standards Codification in our first quarter of 2010. The adoption of this statement did not have any material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as there were no changes in our consolidated entities.

3. Long Term Debt:

Indenture:

In 2007 we issued $150.0 million of senior notes at 10.375% due 2015 (“Senior Notes”). The interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and are guaranteed by all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of ours. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of ours to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness, including the Senior Credit Facilities and Second Lien Facility (both defined below). In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness will have prior claim to those of our assets that constitute their collateral. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future

indebtedness, claims of holders of preferred stock and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims in full from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution. The Senior Notes are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of ours.

The indenture governing the notes contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to non-investment grade debt securities, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, repurchases of capital stock, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the notes contain cross-acceleration provisions and cross-default provisions tied to the Senior Credit Facilities and the Second Lien Facility.

Senior Credit Facilities:

In 2007, we entered into senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities originally provided for loans of $208.0 million under a $183.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility,” and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding and swing-line loans not to exceed $5.0 million at any one time outstanding. In connection with the Merger, we borrowed the entire $183.0 million available under the Term Loan. On October 17, 2008 and November 18, 2008, we borrowed $8.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, under the Revolving Facility. On July 1, 2010 the Company borrowed the remaining $5.4 million available under the Senior Credit Facilities. The Term Loan matures in 2014 and the Revolving Facility is scheduled to terminate and come due in 2013.

On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of the Term Loan by entering into a new Second Lien Facility (defined and discussed below), permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, permanently replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million, and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and after such goal is obtained, a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. In the first quarter of 2009, we wrote off $0.4 million of deferred financing costs related to the prepayment of the Term Loan. There were $3.5 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 27, 2010. The letters of credit were issued instead of cash security deposits under our operating leases or to guarantee construction costs of our locations, and for run-out claims under our medical plan. In July 2010 we borrowed the remaining $5.4 million available under the Senior Credit Facilities.

In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest based, at our option, at either the LIBOR rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”), in each case plus a margin. Our rate of interest for borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, as amended, is LIBOR plus 4.50% or ABR plus 3.50%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Credit Facilities, we are required to pay an unused line fee to the lenders with respect to the unutilized revolving commitments at a rate that shall not exceed 50 basis points per annum.

Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Credit Facilities are secured by first priority perfected security interests in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, investments, repayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement, as amended, requires compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant.

Second Lien Facility:

On March 26, 2009, we entered into a new Second Lien Facility. The Second Lien Facility provides for a $25.5 million secured term loan facility. The loan under the Second Lien Facility was made by Column Investments S.a.r.l., an affiliate of MidOcean. In connection with closing the Second Lien Facility, we borrowed the entire $25.5 million available under the facility which provided for cash proceeds of $25.0 million (representing a 1.96% discount). The Second Lien Facility matures in 2014.

Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bear interest at 15% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Second Lien Facility requires no principal payments until maturity. Interest is payable quarterly as follows: (i) prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00.

Our obligations under the Second Lien Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Second Lien Facility is secured by a second priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, dividends, investments, prepayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement contains (i) cross-acceleration provisions tied to the Senior Credit Facilities and cross-default provisions tied to the Senior Notes and (ii) compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, which are based on the covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facilities with less restrictive thresholds by approximately 15%. The credit agreement also contains a make-whole provision for any prepayment prior to the scheduled maturity date.

In connection with the closing of the Second Lien Facility, Holdings issued immediately exercisable warrants to certain MidOcean entities to acquire 5% of Holdings’ units issued and outstanding on the dates of exercise. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility was $6.3 million and was recorded as paid-in capital with the offset recorded as a discount on the Second Lien Facility.

In connection with the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities and entry into the new Second Lien Facility, we recorded deferred financing costs of $2.3 million.

Long-term debt of $12.5 million is scheduled to mature in 2013, $180.3 million in 2014 and $150.0 million is scheduled to mature in 2015 and thereafter. Refer to Note 6 “Fair Value Measurement” for the gross balance, net book value and fair value of our long-term debt at June 27, 2010.

4. Intangibles (in thousands):

Goodwill

We have two reporting units (Company-owned and Franchise) for the purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. The carrying value of goodwill was allocated to each of our reporting units based upon the fair value of the reporting units at the date of the Merger.

Testing for impairment must be performed annually, or on an interim basis upon the occurrence of a triggering event or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the carrying amount of a reporting unit below its fair value. The Company last performed its annual test for impairment as of December 27, 2009 and was scheduled to do so again in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, with the continuing economic challenges affecting our five year financial forecasts, management believed that there were circumstances evident to warrant impairment testing as of May 23, 2010.

Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step 1 involves comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, Step 2 must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step 2 calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets, excluding goodwill,

 

13


Table of Contents

SBARRO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference.

Consistent with previous tests, we considered the results of both an income approach and a market approach in determining the fair value of the reporting units.

For the income approach we assumed that the current economic downturn would continue domestically in 2010, followed by moderate growth in future years consistent with our growth prior to the recent downturn in the economy. Internationally, we assumed the continued downturn in the economy in 2010 with slight improvements in future years. We applied gross margin assumptions consistent with the Company’s current trends and used a 5.6% growth factor. Discounting the projected cash flows at 15.0% we determined a fair value for the reporting units.

We calculated the fair value of the reporting units’ equity using a market approach based on option pricing principles. This method estimates the fair value of the Company’s equity using inputs such as current debt, future expected interest payments over term, expected volatility and risk-free rate. For purposes of our analysis, we used a three year term with an expected volatility of 40.0% and risk-free rate of 1.2%. Volatility assumptions were based on published estimates of the Company’s industry peer group.

The Company considered each alternative in determining fair value of the reporting units, and in doing so concluded that given the current environment, the market-based equity pricing model was most appropriate. As the carrying value of the Company-owned segment was negative as of the triggering event date, no further assessment of impairment on goodwill could be made. At the point in which equity becomes positive, the equity of the reporting unit will be compared to the fair value of the reporting unit pursuant to applicable guidance. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the Company-owned reporting segment.

Other Intangibles

In connection with the impairment testing of the Company’s goodwill, impairment testing was also performed on our trademarks and other indefinite lived intangible assets. We completed this test to determine any impairment value on trademarks, franchise relationships and franchise rights acquired by using the income approach which projects the present value of future cash flows attributable to these assets using the Relief from Royalty method.

The following table presents trademark, franchise relationships, franchise rights acquired and franchise agreements, net and the activity for the periods shown:

For purposes of establishing inputs for the fair value calculations described above related to indefinite lived intangible assets, we assumed that the current economic downturn would continue domestically through 2010, followed by moderate growth in future years consistent with our growth prior to the recent downturn in the economy. Internationally, we assumed the continued downturn in the economy in 2010 with slight improvements in future years.

We applied gross margin assumptions consistent with the Company’s current trends and used a 4.4% growth factor. Discounting the projected cash flows of these indefinite lived intangible assets at 15.0%, we determined a value of $157.4 million for our trademarks and accordingly, we impaired $15.7 million of trademarks during the quarter ended June 27, 2010. The fair value of the franchise relationships and franchise rights acquired exceeded their carrying value and as such no impairment charge was required. If the terminal growth rate, which has the largest impact on fair value, used in the fair value calculation for trademarks was decreased by 1%, the impairment charge would have increased by $6.5 million. If the discount rate used in the fair value calculation for trademarks was increased by 1%, the impairment charges would have increased by $13.9 million.

Franchise rights acquired and franchise agreements are definite lived assets and amortized over the life of the agreements. Amortization expense of $0.5 million and $0.6 million was recorded in the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. At June 27, 2010 and December 27, 2009, accumulated amortization was $4.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

5. Income Taxes:

We provide for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes as determined under enacted tax laws and rates. The effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment.

In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, for a tax benefit to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities.

In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. Ultimately, the realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized. Management considers the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and impairment of other assets.

Based on these considerations and the uncertainty surrounding the future economic climate, management believes that it is more likely than not that our net operating loss carryforward, foreign tax credit carryforward, and other deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the first six months of 2010 we recorded an addition to our valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets of $5.3 million. The valuation allowance was $45.0 million as of June 27, 2010.

The income tax benefit of $6.2 million and $6.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2010, respectively, was primarily the result of a $6.3 million decrease in the Company’s deferred tax liability related to impairment charges. Refer to Note 4 “Intangibles” for further information regarding the impairment charges recorded.

6. Fair Value Measurement

Current accounting guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In addition, the guidance requires disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities to enable the assessment of inputs used to develop fair value measures, and for unobservable inputs to determine the effects of the measurements on earnings.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables-net, and accounts payable approximate carrying amounts because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Fair value of the Senior Credit Facility was obtained from an independent source of composite bid prices from multiple dealers (level 2 input). Fair value of the Second Lien Facility was obtained from an independent source based on broker quotes, as well as consideration of peer group credit spread analysis (level 1 input). Fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility was $6.3 million.

7. Business Segment Information:

We operate our business through two segments. Our company-owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company-owned Quick Service Restaurants (“QSR’s”) and other concept restaurants. Our franchise restaurant segment is comprised of our franchised restaurants which offer opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name and other trade names owned by Sbarro. Revenue from our franchised restaurant segment is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue. We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to our operating segments. Such costs are managed on an entity-wide basis, and the information to reasonably allocate such costs is not readily available. We do not allocate assets by segment because our chief operating decision makers do not review the assets by segment to assess performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis. Our operating segments are discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13—Business Segment Information to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.

9. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2010 the Company borrowed the remaining $5.4 million available under the Senior Credit Facilities.

Effective July 28, 2010 Peter Beaudrault stepped down as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Holdings and the Company and as Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Company. Under the terms of the letter agreement (defined and discussed below) he will remain with the Company in a consulting capacity while the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) undertakes a search for a new Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Beaudrault, the Company and Holdings entered into a Letter Agreement on July 28, 2010 (the “Letter Agreement”) to address certain transitional matters. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Beaudrault agreed to remain an employee of the Company and Holdings in order to provide certain transitional services until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2010, (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day following the commencement of employment of the Company’s and Holdings’ new full-time (rather than acting or interim) Chief Executive Officer in such capacity, and (iii) such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. In consideration for these services, Mr. Beaudrault continues to receive salary and benefits in accordance with the terms of his Employment Agreement with the Company and Holdings, dated January 31, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”). At the conclusion of Mr. Beaudrault’s employment pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Beaudrault will receive severance payments and continued medical benefits for a period of twelve months in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.

Dennis Malamatinas, an existing Director of Holdings and the Company, replaced Mr. Beaudrault as Chairman of the Board, and Nicholas McGrane, an existing Director of Holdings and the Company will serve as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Holdings until the Board appoints a new Chief Executive Officer. In this capacity, Mr. McGrane serves as the Company’s and Holdings’ principal executive officer.

Mr. Malamatinas will receive a fee of $100,000 per year for his service as Chairman of the Board, in lieu of the fee he currently receives as a Director. Mr. McGrane, who is Managing Director of MidOcean, will not receive any compensation from the Company or Holdings for his service as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report that are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect” and similar words often indicate that a statement is a “forward-looking statement.” Statements about non-historic results also are considered to be forward-looking statements. None of these forward-looking statements are guarantees of future performance or events, and they are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:

 

   

general economic, inflation, national security, weather and business conditions;

 

   

decrease in mall traffic, and other events arising from the downturn in the economy;

 

   

the availability of suitable restaurant sites in appropriate regional shopping malls and other locations on reasonable rental terms;

 

   

changes in consumer tastes;

 

   

changes in population and traffic patterns, including the effects that military action and terrorism or other events may have on the willingness of consumers to frequent malls, airports or downtown areas which are the predominant areas in which our restaurants are located;

 

   

our ability to continue to attract franchisees;

 

   

the success of our present, and any future, joint ventures and other expansion opportunities;

 

   

changes in commodity and commodity related prices (particularly cheese and flour), beverage and paper products;

 

   

our ability to pass along cost increases to our customers;

 

   

increases in the Federal minimum wage;

 

   

the continuity of services of members of our senior management team;

 

   

our ability to attract and retain competent restaurant and executive managerial personnel;

 

   

competition;

 

   

the level of, and our ability to comply with, government regulations;

 

   

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make interest payments under our borrowing agreements;

 

   

our ability to comply with financial covenants and ratios and the effects the restrictions imposed by those financial covenants and ratios may have on our ability to operate our business; and

 

   

our ability to repurchase and/or repay amounts under our borrowing agreements to the extent required in the event of certain circumstances as defined in our borrowing agreements.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any responsibility to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other data and information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Executive Overview

For the purposes of management’s discussion and analysis, the year to date second quarter of 2010 is the twenty six weeks ended June 27, 2010 and the year to date second quarter of 2009 is the twenty six weeks ended June 28, 2009. The second quarter of 2010 is the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2010 and the second quarter of 2009 is the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2009.

We are the world’s leading Italian Quick Service Restaurant (“QSR”) concept and the largest shopping mall-focused restaurant concept in the world. We have a global base of 1,041 units in 41 countries, with 482 company-owned units, 536 franchised units and 23 joint venture units. Sbarro restaurants feature a menu of popular Italian food, including pizza, a selection of pasta dishes and other hot and cold Italian entrees, salads, sandwiches, drinks and desserts.

Table of Contents

We operate our business through two segments. Our company-owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company-owned QSR’s and other concept restaurants. Our franchised restaurant segment is comprised of our franchised restaurants which offer opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name and other trade names owned by Sbarro. Revenue from our franchised restaurant segment is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue. We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to our operating segments. Such costs are managed on an entity-wide basis, and the information to reasonably allocate such costs is not readily available. We do not allocate assets by segment because our chief operating decision makers do not review the assets by segment to assess performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis. Our operating segments are discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13—Business Segment Information to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.

Seasonality

Revenues are highest in our fourth quarter due primarily to increased traffic in shopping malls during the holiday shopping season. Our annual revenues and earnings can fluctuate due to the length of the holiday shopping period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Due to the seasonality of our business, we perform our annual test for impairment on our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as required by the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets and fully evaluate the impairment of long-lived assets as required by the accounting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. Any required adjustments are recorded at that time unless our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or margin growth rates are not achieved, then we may be required to record an impairment charge prior to that if any such change constitutes a triggering event outside of the quarter from when the annual goodwill impairment test is performed. Refer to Note 4 “Intangibles” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding impairment testing performed during the second quarter of 2010 and the impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of 2010.

Bank credit agreement EBITDA includes certain adjustments to EBITDA disclosed in our Senior Credit Facilities. EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or as a measure of a company’s profitability or liquidity. Rather, we believe that EBITDA and bank credit agreement EBITDA provide relevant and useful information for analysts and investors in our Senior Notes in that the Senior Credit Facilities and the Second Lien Facility each contain a minimum bank credit agreement EBITDA covenant. We also internally use EBITDA to determine whether or not to continue operating restaurant units since it provides us with a measurement of whether we are receiving an adequate cash return on our investment. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Our EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities since they do not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent a net increase in cash since they do not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities.

Second Quarter 2010 versus Second Quarter 2009

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants were $73.0 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $76.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable unit sales of $4.5 million, or 6.2%, in our QSR restaurants and lost sales from stores strategically closed of $1.4 million partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened, remodeled or relocated in 2010 and 2009 of $1.9 million. The decrease in comparable unit sales primarily reflects the reduction in consumer spending throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment.

Franchise related revenues were $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2009. This resulted from a decrease in international development fee income and lost royalties from stores closed.

Table of Contents

Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 21.0% for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to 20.4% for the second quarter of 2009. The cost of cheese in the second quarter of 2010 averaged $1.66 per pound compared to an average of $1.38 per pound for the second quarter of 2009. This $.28 per pound increase in cheese costs accounted for $0.4 million or 0.5% of restaurant sales. The cost of flour in both the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 averaged $.29 per pound.

Payroll and other employee benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 28.2% in the second quarter of 2010 from 28.1% in the second quarter of 2009.

Other operating costs were $31.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $29.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. As a percentage of restaurant sales, other operating costs increased to 42.5% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2009 due to an increase in store opening costs related to our joint venture operations in the second quarter of 2010.

Other income, net increased to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to underperforming stores closed in 2009.

General and administrative expenses were $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily related to an increase in marketing research initiatives and joint venture expenses offset by a reduction in expenses for the bad debt provision and severance when compared to the prior year.

Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment totaled $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. There were no goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the second quarter of 2009. This is discussed further in Note 4 – Intangibles to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Report.

Asset impairment, restaurant closing and remodeling costs were $1.1 million in both the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. Included in the 2010 expense of $1.1 million was $0.9 million of non-cash fixed asset impairment charges.

Interest expense of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 relates primarily to the Senior Notes, the Term Loans and Revolving Facility under our Senior Credit Facilities and our Second Lien Facility. Included in interest expense in both the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 was the amortization of deferred financing costs for the Senior Notes, Term Loan and Second Lien Facility of $0.4 million.

The income tax benefit of $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of a $6.3 million decrease in our deferred tax liability related to intangible asset impairment charges and our effective tax rate was 24.8%. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a $3.7 million increase to the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets increasing the valuation allowance to $45.0 million. The income tax expense was $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 and our effective tax rate was negative 2.7%. During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a $2.5 million increase to the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Loss from equity investments relates to our joint venture in Beirut, an unconsolidated affiliate.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to our joint ventures in India, Japan, China and certain partnerships.

Net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. was $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to a net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. of $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2009. Included in the second quarter of 2010 net loss were goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $15.7 million offset by an income tax benefit of $6.2 million. Without impairment charges and taxes, the net loss would have been $9.3 million and $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increase in net loss was due to the items discussed above, primarily the decrease in comparable unit sales and an increase in other operating costs offset by overall cost reductions related to cost savings initiatives.

Six Months Ended 2010 versus Six Months Ended 2009

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants were $148.2 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $152.9 million for the first six months of 2009. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable unit sales of $5.4 million, or 3.7%, in our QSR restaurants and lost sales from stores strategically closed of $3.6 million, partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened, remodeled or relocated in 2010 and 2009 of $3.9 million. The decrease in comparable unit sales primarily reflects the reduction in consumer spending throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment.

Payroll and other employee benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 28.2% in the first six months of 2010 from 28.0% in the first six months of 2009. The increase is primarily due to the decrease in comparable unit sales in the first six months of 2010.

Other operating costs were $61.0 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $59.6 million in the first six months of 2009. As a percentage of restaurant sales, other operating costs increased to 41.2% in the first six months of 2010 as compared to 39.0% in the first six months of 2009 due to an increase in store opening costs related to our joint venture operations in the first six months of 2010 partially offset by cost control initiatives implemented in 2009.

Other income, net decreased to $1.8 million in the first six months of 2010 from $2.0 million in the first six months of 2009.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $7.1 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $8.5 million in the first six months of 2009 due to underperforming stores closed in 2009.

General and administrative expenses were $15.3 million in the first six months of 2010 as compared to $15.8 million in the first six months of 2009. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in severance expenses and the bad debt provision offset by costs associated with marketing research initiatives and joint venture expenses when compared to the prior year.

Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment totaled $15.7 million in the first six months of 2010. There were no goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the first six months of 2009.

Asset impairment, restaurant closing and remodeling costs decreased to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $2.0 million for the first six months of 2009 as 29 stores were strategically closed in the prior year.

Interest expense of $15.1 million in the first six months of 2010 and $13.3 million for the first six months of 2009 relates primarily to the Senior Notes, the Term Loans and Revolving Facilities under our Senior Credit Facilities and our Second Lien Facility. Included in interest expense in the first six months of 2010 and 2009 was the amortization of deferred financing costs for the Senior Notes, Term Loan and Second Lien Facility of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Write-off of deferred financing costs of $0.4 million in the first six months of 2009 related to prepayment of the Senior Credit Facility.

The income tax benefit of $6.1 million for the first six months of 2010 was primarily the result of a $6.3 million decrease in our deferred tax liability related to intangible asset impairment charges and our effective tax rate was 20.3%.

Loss from equity investments relates to our joint venture in Beirut, an unconsolidated affiliate.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to our joint ventures in India, Japan, China and certain partnerships.

Net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. was $24.0 million for the first six months of 2010 as compared to a net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. of $12.2 million for the first six months of 2009. Included in the net loss for the first six months of 2010 were goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $15.7 million offset by an income tax benefit of $6.1 million. Without impairment charges and taxes, the net loss would have been $14.4 million and $11.9 million in the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal Cash Requirements and Sources

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Merger. Our other liquidity needs fund our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures. Cash flow generated during our fourth quarter is critical to achieving positive annual operating cash flow. Adverse macroeconomic factors, including reduced mall traffic during the holiday shopping season and a decline in consumer spending among other factors can negatively impact achieving our projected operating cash flow. Additionally, we experience pressures related to increasing commodity costs, particularly cheese and flour.

On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of our Term Loan by entering into the new Second Lien Facility, permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, and replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and after such goal is obtained, a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. Our ability to borrow funds under our revolver is subject to compliance with our debt covenant requirements. On July 1, 2010 we drew the remaining amount available under our Revolving Facility and have no additional availability under the Senior Credit Facilities.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with our Senior Credit Facilities (“bank credit agreement EBITDA”), was $44.7 million for fiscal 2009 and $41.7 million for the twelve months ending with the second quarter of 2010. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 27, 2010. Our ability to meet or exceed our third quarter minimum trailing twelve months bank credit agreement EBITDA covenant of $40.0 million relies significantly on our same store sales trend versus the prior year. In order to comply with our third quarter minimum EBITDA covenant, our third quarter same store sales trend versus prior year would need to improve relative to our second quarter same store sales trend, and at the same time, our costs would need to be favorable to the prior year. If we fail to achieve this mix of increased sales and lower costs, we may not comply with our minimum EBITDA covenants for the third quarter.

Our minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant, as calculated in accordance with our amended bank credit agreement, increases at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 by $3.0 million dollars to $43.0 million. Our ability to meet our fourth quarter minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant relies significantly on our company owned same store sales trend versus prior year. Our comparable sales percentage change versus the prior year is highly dependent on the level of traffic in shopping malls during the fourth quarter holiday shopping season. Based on our recent trends, we would need a significant upturn in the general economy and a significant change to our second quarter trend to achieve positive same store sales versus prior year to satisfy the minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA covenant for the fourth quarter, and at the same time our costs would need to be favorable to the prior year. If we fail to achieve this mix of increased sales and lower costs, we may not comply with our minimum EBITDA covenants for the fourth quarter.

We are unable to control commodity costs which can impact our ability to satisfy our minimum EBITDA covenants. Specifically, commodity costs can also fluctuate with cheese and flour currently being the most volatile. For example, a $.20 variance in the price of block cheese or a $.10 variance in the price of a pound of flour would affect our costs by approximately $250 thousand and $300 thousand in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Our Senior Credit Facility provides for certain cures in the event of noncompliance with our minimum EBITDA covenants. Covenant violations can be cured with cash payments made by our principal shareholders. Such cure amounts are equal to the shortfall, provided the shortfall does not exceed ten percent of our last twelve months bank EBITDA, and can be added to our minimum twelve month EBITDA for the next four quarters. An equity cure can only be completed twice within each twelve month period. Our principal shareholders have no obligation to provide such funds.

Based upon our cash balance of $12.1 million at June 27, 2010, along with the $5.4 million borrowings drawn under our revolver in July 2010 and our revised 2010 forecast, we believe that cash flows generated from operations during 2010, along with our cash on hand, will be sufficient for us to meet our debt service requirements and fund working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. It is possible that our actual results may differ materially from our revised 2010 forecast or that we are unable to obtain a waiver or cure an event of noncompliance with our minimum EBITDA covenants, and then we would not have sufficient cash to meet our obligations and substantial doubt would exist about our ability to continue as a going concern at that time.

Table of Contents

We estimate that our cash interest expense for the fiscal year under the Senior Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities will be approximately $26.2 million under the amended Senior Credit Facilities, assuming a 2% LIBOR rate. Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bear interest at 15% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Second Lien Facility provides for no amortization of principal. Interest is payable quarterly as follows: (i) prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00.

The amended Senior Credit Facilities require us to prepay outstanding borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with (a) 75% of our annual excess cash flow; (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions of property (including casualty insurance and condemnations) if we do not commit to reinvest such proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities within 365 days of the event giving rise thereto (or, to the extent we have entered into a commitment to reinvest such proceeds within such time period to the extent such amounts are actually reinvested, within six months of the expiration of such 365 days); and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, other than debt permitted under the Senior Credit Facilities. The prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility satisfied our quarterly obligation for further principal amortization payments on our Senior Credit Facilities. We are not required to make principal payments, absent the occurrence of certain events, on our Senior Notes until they mature in 2015. In July 2010 we borrowed the remaining $5.4 million available under our Senior Credit Facilities. We believe that aggregate capital expenditures for our domestic locations in 2010 will approximate $4.8 million, which we expect will be funded with operating cash. Based upon our projected cash requirements for operations, we believe we have adequate resources to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, debt servicing requirements and other cash needs for the next twelve months based upon current cash balances. If necessary, we may adjust the rate of capital expenditures, acquisitions, or the timing and magnitude of other controllable expenditures to meet such requirements.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and working capital at June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009 respectively, and the sources and uses of our cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively (in millions):

We have not historically required significant working capital to fund our existing operations and have financed our capital expenditures and investments in joint ventures through cash generated from operations. Based upon our cash balance of $12.1 million at June 27, 2010 along with the $5.4 million borrowings drawn under our revolver in July 2010 and our revised 2010 forecast, we believe that cash flows generated from our operations during 2010, along with our cash on hand, will be sufficient for us to meet our debt service requirements and fund working capital and planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in operating activities was $10.5 million during the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $8.4 million used in operating activities for the six months ended June 28, 2009. The increase in net cash used in the six months ended June 27, 2010 is mainly due to a net loss after non-cash adjustments of $5.7 million more in 2010 as compared to 2009 offset by a $3.6 million net change in operating assets and liabilities when compared to the prior year, due primarily to the timing of payment of current liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and was relatively flat when compared to the same period in 2009. Net cash used in investing activities in both 2010 and 2009 was mostly related to capital expenditures utilized primarily for restaurant openings and renovation activity.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010. This net cash provided primarily represents capital contributions from noncontrolling interests offset by distributions of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The cash used in financing activities was $10.5 million in the six months ended June 28, 2009 and primarily represents repayment of the Term Loan and Revolving Facility, debt issuance costs and the payment of fees related to the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities, net of the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

Accounting policies are an integral part of the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Understanding these policies, therefore, is a key factor in understanding our reported results of operations and financial position. Accounting policies often require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in our financial statements. Due to their nature, estimates involve judgments based upon available information. Therefore, actual results or amounts could differ from estimates and the difference could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

During the quarter ended June 27, 2010, there were no changes in the accounting policies whose application may have the most significant effect on our reported results of financial position and that require judgments, estimates and assumptions by management that can affect their application and our results of operations and financial position from those discussed under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments” in Part II Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to the Notes to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During the first six months of 2010, there were no related party transactions other than those discussed under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in Part II, Item 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain risks which exist as part of our ongoing business operation.

We have not purchased future, forward, option or other instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the prices of the commodities we purchase. As a result, our future commodities purchases are subject to changes in the prices of such commodities. We have entered and sometimes will enter into short-term, fixed rate contracts for some products we purchase.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently invest our cash on hand in FDIC insured overnight cash management savings accounts earning interest based on the 91 day Treasury bill rates or FDIC insured overnight money market savings accounts. The indenture governing the Senior Notes limits the nature of our investments to those of lower risk. Although our existing investments are not considered at risk with respect to changes in interest rates or markets for these instruments, our rate of return on short-term investments could be affected at the time of reinvestment as a result of intervening events.

The interest rate on borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities is floating and, therefore, is subject to fluctuations. In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest based, at our option, at either a LIBOR rate or an alternative base rate (“ABR”), in each case plus a margin. Currently, our rate of interest for borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, as amended, is LIBOR plus 4.50% or ABR plus 3.50%. A 1% change in our current rate would have an annual effect of approximately $1.9 million.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

All of our transactions with foreign franchisees have been denominated in, and all payments have been made in, United States dollars, thereby reducing the risks in the changes of the values of foreign currencies. As a result, we have not purchased future contracts, options or other instruments to hedge against changes in values of foreign currencies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. As there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within our Company have been detected. Inherent limitations include human errors or misjudgments. Controls also can be circumvented by the intentional acts of individuals or groups.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 27, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
