PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp., a Delaware corporation ("the
Company"), owns and operates 35 entertainment restaurant locations which utilize
the Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille ("Fox and Hound"), Bailey's Sports Grille
and Bailey's Pub & Grille ("Bailey's") tradenames. The Company's entertainment
concepts combine a comfortable and inviting social gathering place, full menu
and full service bar, state-of-the-art audio and video systems for sports
entertainment, traditional games of skill such as pocket billiards and a
late-night dining and entertainment alternatives all in a single location. The
Company's entertainment restaurant concepts appeal to a broad range of guests
who can participate in one or more aspects of the Company's total entertainment
restaurant experience. Both the Fox and Hound and Bailey's locations encompass
the Company's multi-dimensional concept and serve both larger urban and smaller
regional markets. The Company operates in one business segment.
The first Bailey's unit was opened in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1989
and the first Fox and Hound unit was opened in Arlington, Texas in 1994. As of
March 13, 2000, the Company owns and operates 23 Fox and Hound units and 12
Bailey's units in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Kansas,
Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Section 351 Exchange
The Company was organized on February 7, 1997 for the purpose of
developing entertainment restaurant locations. On February 20, 1997, the Company
effected an exchange (the "Exchange") of property under Section 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with the stockholders of
four corporations (the "Subsidiary Corporations") and certain limited partners
of four Texas limited partnerships (the "Subsidiary Limited Partnerships").
Pursuant to the Exchange, the Company became the owner of the eight
then-existing Bailey's locations and the three then-existing Fox and Hound
locations. The Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par
value (the "Common Stock"), in exchange for all the outstanding stock of the
Subsidiary Corporations and the outstanding limited partnership interests of the
Subsidiary Limited Partnerships not owned by the Subsidiary Corporations. The
Subsidiary Corporations and Subsidiary Limited Partnerships thereby became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Concept
The Company's entertainment restaurant concept differentiates itself by
offering all of the following features in a single location:
o Social Gathering Place. The Company's concepts provide a
contemporary social gathering place where friends and acquaintances
can gather regularly for food, drinks and entertainment in an
upscale yet casual environment.
o Food and Beverage. The Company's concepts offer a full menu with a
wide range of mid-priced appetizers, entrees and desserts served in
generous portions. Each location features a full service bar and a
wide variety of domestic, imported and
-3-
<PAGE>
premium craft beers. Food and beverages can be enjoyed in all areas
of each location.
o Sports Entertainment. The Company's concepts feature
state-of-the-art audio and video systems for viewing sporting
events. Each location has numerous TV's (including several
mega-screen TV's) with satellite and cable coverage of national,
regional and local sporting events.
o Games of Skill. The Company's concepts offer traditional games of
skill, including pocket billiards featuring tournament-quality
tables, shuffleboard and darts. Most locations also offer a variety
of popular interactive games.
o Late-night Destination. The Company provides guests with an upscale
entertainment and dining alternative by serving food and beverages
during the increasingly popular late-night segment.
Strategy
Management believes its unique entertainment restaurant concept will
enable the Company to distinguish itself as the leader in this market segment.
Management's strategy for attaining this leadership position is based on the
following key elements:
Total Entertainment and Restaurant Experience. The Company's concept
offers a social gathering place, food and beverages, sports entertainment, games
of skill and a late-night destination all in a single location. Each location
provides guests with a multi-dimensional entertainment and restaurant experience
that enables them to participate in one or more elements of the experience.
Seasoned Management Team. The Company employs a seasoned management team
with experience in successfully developing and operating multi-unit concepts in
a variety of geographic markets throughout the United States. The Company
intends to leverage this experience to secure favorable real estate sites,
control costs and implement proven operating procedures. In addition, the
Company maintains centralized financial and accounting controls through
Franchise Services Company, a third party accounting and administrative services
company. By employing the services and infrastructure provided by Franchise
Services Company, the Company is able to focus its energy and resources on brand
and unit development.
Rapid Growth and Expansion. The Company believes its entertainment
restaurant concept will be attractive in a variety of geographic markets
throughout the United States. The Company plans to open up to four locations in
2000 and between five and seven locations in 2001. The Company currently has two
leases executed with contingencies and three non-binding letters of intent and
is currently evaluating locations in markets that are familiar to its management
team and will be actively negotiating additional leases at a number of sites.
Flexibility and Versatility of Concept. The Company is implementing its
concept through both the Fox and Hound and Bailey's brand names. This strategy
enables the Company to target both larger urban markets as well as smaller
regional markets. The Company's concept also allows for significant versatility
through the reconfiguration of the entertainment areas within each of its
locations to accommodate various special events.
Commitment to High Quality Products and Services. The Company is committed
to providing a superior experience that includes high quality menu items, a wide
variety of domestic, imported and premium craft beers, state-of-the-art audio
and video systems and tournament-quality pocket billiard tables. These features,
combined with the Company's focus on a high level of customer service, help
build a loyal clientele and attract new guests.

Expansion Plans
The Company's management team has extensive experience in the restaurant
business and has successfully developed and operated numerous restaurants in
many geographic markets throughout the United States. The Company intends to
open up to four entertainment restaurant locations in 2000 and between five to
seven locations in 2001. The Company is currently evaluating locations in
markets familiar to its management team. However, the number of locations
actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon the ability of
the Company to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases.
The Company may in the future franchise and/or grant license or joint
venture rights to the Fox and Hound and Bailey's concepts in certain limited
geographic areas of the United States. It is expected that these franchisees,
licensees or joint venture partners will be required to develop a specific
number of locations within a specified time frame and that a license fee and/or
a royalty fee will be paid to the Company in connection with the development and
operation of each such site. The Company has granted to Stephen P. Hartnett,
Co-Chairman, the right to operate one "Fox & Hound" concept in Dallas, Texas
without the payment of any license fee.
Selection Criteria and Leasing
The Company believes the site selection process is critical in determining
the potential success of each entertainment restaurant location. Senior
management devotes significant time and resources in analyzing each prospective
site and inspects and approves each location prior to final lease execution. A
variety of factors are considered in the site selection process, including local
market demographics, site visibility, traffic count, nature of the retail
environment and accessibility and proximity to major retail centers, office
complexes, hotels and entertainment centers (e.g., stadiums, arenas, theaters).
The Company leases all locations, with the exception of the Bailey's unit
in Columbia, South Carolina, which is owned by the Company. Most of the units
are located in shopping centers. Leases are generally negotiated with initial
terms of three to five years, with multiple renewal options. The Company has
generally required approximately 90 to 120 days after the signing of a lease and
obtaining required permits to complete construction and open a new location.
Additional time is sometimes required to obtain certain government approvals and
licenses, such as liquor licenses. In the future, the Company anticipates
principally leasing its locations, although it may consider purchasing
free-standing sites where it is cost-effective to do so.
Unit Economics
The Company's management team focuses on selecting locations with the
potential of producing significant revenues while controlling capital
expenditures and rent as a percentage of net sales. The Company's restaurants
have historically generated a sales to investment ratio of approximately 0.8 to
1, assuming that the average minimum annual rents pursuant to operating leases
were capitalized for purposes of determining the investment. The Company's
entertainment restaurants averaged $1,578,000 and $1,634,000 in sales during
fiscal years ended December 28, 1999 and December 29, 1998, respectively. Of the
35 units open at December 28, 1999, 34 were leased facilities and had an average
cash investment of $1,209,000. The one open unit the Company owned as of
December 28, 1999 had a cost of $1,815,000 (including the costs for land
acquisition, construction, equipment and pre-opening costs). In
-6-
<PAGE>
the future the Company anticipates most locations will be leased rather than
purchased and anticipates an average cash investment per unit between $1.0
million and $1.5 million.
Menu
Both Bailey's and Fox and Hound concepts offer a single menu for lunch
(weekends only in some locations), dinner and late-night dining. The menu
features a selection of appetizers, including quesadillas, chicken wings and
nachos, soups and salads, gourmet-style sandwiches, pizzas, ribs, burgers, a
selection of grilled entrees and desserts. Appetizers typically range in price
from $3.99 to $6.99, and entrees range from $5.29 to $13.99, with most entrees
priced below $10.00. Each location features a full service bar and most units
have over 100 brands of ales, lagers, stouts and premium craft beers from around
the world, including over 35 on tap. Alcoholic beverage service accounted for
approximately 55% of the Company's revenues in the fiscal year ended December
28, 1999.
Ambiance and Design
Fox and Hound and Bailey's Pub & Grille. The Fox and Hound and Bailey's
Pub & Grille entertainment restaurant concepts incorporate the tradition, spirit
and sophistication of a contemporary social gathering place, with an elegant yet
comfortable atmosphere of finished wood, polished brass, embroidered chairs and
booths, hunter green and burgundy walls and etched glass. Each Fox and Hound
features a full service restaurant and bar as well as state-of-the-art audio and
video technology (including several mega-screen TV's) and traditional games of
skill such as pocket billiards generously spaced to avoid crowding, darts and
shuffleboard. The entertainment area can be readily configured into a
comfortable "arena" for viewing national, regional and local sporting and other
television events. All locations are also capable of accommodating business and
social organizations for special events.
Fox and Hound is the evolution of a concept originally conceived by
Stephen P. Hartnett, Co-Chairman. The first Fox & Hound unit was opened in
August 1994. Management believes the design of Fox and Hound plays an essential
role in its success. The bar and primary dining room are centrally located while
the wing rooms are partitioned from the bar and dining area by etched glass and
house games of skill along with state-of-the-art audio and video technology.
This layout provides guests with an open view of the main dining room, bar and
gaming areas. The open kitchen is organized for efficient work flow and is also
centrally located so as to entice guests with its flavorful aromas.
Bailey's Sports Grille. The Bailey's Sports Grille concept has a casual,
relaxed atmosphere that features a full-service restaurant and bar, numerous
TV's (including several big screen TV's) with satellite and cable coverage of
sporting events, pocket billiard tables, darts, foosball and shuffleboard. Most
locations also feature a variety of popular interactive games. Like Fox and
Hound, the bar and primary dining room in each Bailey's unit is centrally
located with games situated around the perimeter.
Bailey's is the evolution of a concept originally conceived by Dennis L.
Thompson, Co-Chairman and Thomas A. Hager, a director of the Company. The first
Bailey's unit opened in Charlotte, North Carolina in November 1989. There are
presently nine locations operating in five states. Since the opening of the
first location in 1989, management has modified and improved its original
concept. With each successive opening, the decor has been modified to a more
upscale yet casual decor.
All locations opened since July 1997 (twenty-one Fox and Hound units,
three Bailey's Pub &
-7-
<PAGE>
Grille units and one Bailey's Sports Grille unit) have incorporated the layout
and design of the Fox and Hound unit in Dallas, Texas. The Company anticipates
this layout and design will be utilized for future locations in larger urban
markets while utilizing the Bailey's Sports Grille design for smaller regional
markets.
Marketing
The Company believes its entertainment restaurant concept attracts a loyal
clientele, and the Company relies primarily on word-of-mouth to attract new
business. The Company does, however, advertise through traditional marketing and
advertising media in selected markets. These media include billboard signage,
radio and print advertising, local store marketing to households and volunteer
community involvement.
The Company's marketing efforts also seek to focus on national, regional
and local sporting events such as the Super Bowl and the World Series, which
attract locally active groups of fans, supporters or alumni. The versatile
layout and design of the units can also accommodate group events.
Operations and Management
The Company's operations and management systems are based upon systems and
controls that were developed by senior management and have been successfully
used to manage a large number of restaurants located in numerous states. The
Company strives to maintain quality and consistency in its entertainment
restaurant locations through the careful training and supervision of personnel
and the establishment of standards relating to food and beverage preparation,
maintenance of locations and conduct of personnel.
The management of a typical unit consists of one general manager and
between two and four supporting managers depending upon unit revenue and hours
of operation. Each general manager is responsible for the unit's day-to-day
operations and is required to follow the Company's established operating
procedures and standards. Each entertainment restaurant location also employs a
staff of hourly employees, many of whom are part-time personnel. Unit management
personnel participate in an eight-week training program which focuses on various
aspects of the unit's operations and customer service. The Company currently
employs six district managers, each of which oversees between five and seven
units. The disctrict managers, general managers and support managers participate
in incentive cash bonus programs. Awards under the incentive plans are tied to
achievement of specified operating targets, including achievement of specific
unit objectives and control of operating expense budgets. Senior management
regularly visits the Fox and Hound and Bailey's locations and meets with the
respective management teams to ensure compliance with the Company's strategies
and standards of quality.
The Company maintains financial and accounting controls for each of its
entertainment restaurant locations through the use of centralized accounting and
management information systems. Sales and labor information are collected daily
from each location, and general managers are provided with operating statements
for their locations. Cash is controlled through daily deposits of sales proceeds
in local operating accounts, the balances of which are wire-transferred weekly
to the Company's principal operating account. The Company utilizes a
comprehensive peer review reporting system for its general managers. Within 10
days after the close of each 28-day accounting period, profit and loss
statements are produced and, subsequently, the general managers of each location
meet in person with their respective
-8-
<PAGE>
district managers to review the profit and loss statements. The participants
offer each other feedback on their respective performances and suggest ways of
improving profitability. The disctrict managers then meet in person with the
senior management team to review the performance for the past accounting period
as well as set the operating agenda for the next period. The Company believes
the peer review system enables each general manager to benefit from the
collective experience of all of the Company's management.
The Company believes customer service and satisfaction are keys to the
success of its operations. The Company's commitment to customer service and
satisfaction is evidenced by several Company practices and policies, including
periodic visits by unit management to guests' tables, active involvement of
management in responding to guest comments and assigning wait persons so as to
ensure customer satisfaction. Teamwork is emphasized for efficient and timely
service.
Each new unit employee of the Company participates in a training program
during which the employee works under the close supervision of a manager.
Management strives to instill enthusiasm and dedication in its employees and to
create a stimulating and rewarding working environment where employees know what
is expected of them in measurable terms. Management continuously solicits
employee feedback concerning unit operations and strives to be responsive to the
employees' concerns.
Purchasing
The Company's management negotiates directly with suppliers for most food
and beverage products to ensure uniform quality, adequate supplies, and to
obtain competitive prices. Food and supplies are shipped directly to the
entertainment restaurant locations, although invoices for purchases are
forwarded to a central location for payment. Due to the experience of the
Company's senior management in the restaurant business, the Company has been and
expects to continue to be able to purchase most of its restaurant equipment
directly from equipment manufacturers. The Company has not experienced any
significant delays in receiving supplies or equipment.
Management Information Systems
The Company utilizes an in-store computer-based management support system
which is designed to improve labor scheduling and food and beverage cost
management, provide corporate management quick access to financial data and
reduce the general manager's administrative time. Each general manager uses the
system for production planning, labor scheduling and food and beverage cost
variance analysis. The system generates reports on sales, bank deposits and
variance data for the Company's management on a daily basis.
The Company generates weekly consolidated sales reports and food, beverage
and labor-cost variance reports as well as detailed profit and loss statements
for each entertainment restaurant location every four weeks. Additionally, the
Company monitors sales mix, sales growth, labor variances and other sales trends
on a daily basis.
Accounting and Administrative Services
On July 17, 1997, the Company entered into a services agreement with
Coulter Enterprises, Inc., a company owned by Jamie B. Coulter, the Company's
former Chairman of the Board, for certain accounting and administrative
services. The fixed annual charge, which was pro rated
-9-
<PAGE>
for 1997, was $94,000 and the per unit per 28-day period fee was $426. For
fiscal year 1998 and through February 28, 1999, the fixed annual charge was
$194,500 and the per unit per 28-day accounting period fee was $466, plus
reimbursement of all direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The increase in
the fixed charge was due to an increase in the number of entertainment
restaurants operated by the Company.
On March 1, 1999, the Company simultaneously terminated the services
agreement with Coulter Enterprises, Inc. and entered into a three-year services
agreement with Franchise Services Company ("FSC") for certain accounting and
administrative services. The per unit per 28-day accounting fee is at a market
rate with no fixed annual charge and is to remain fixed for the entire
three-year agreement. At the conclusion of the three-year agreement FSC, the
Company may satisfy its accounting and administrative needs by hiring employees
directly.
Competition
The entertainment and restaurant industries are highly competitive. There
are a large number of restaurants and entertainment businesses that compete
directly and indirectly with the Company. The Company competes with restaurants
primarily on the basis of quality of food and service, ambiance and location and
competes with sports bars and entertainment complexes on the basis of
entertainment quality, ambiance and location. Competition for sales in the
entertainment and restaurant industries is intense. While the Company believes
its entertainment restaurant units are distinctive in design and operating
concept, it is aware of competitors that operate with similar concepts. Many of
the Company's existing and potential competitors are well-established and have
significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than does the
Company. In addition to other entertainment and restaurant companies, the
Company competes with numerous businesses for suitable locations for its units.
The legalization of casino gambling in geographic areas near any entertainment
restaurant location operated by the Company could also create the possibility
for entertainment alternatives that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.
Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation
As a result of the revenues associated with each new location, the timing
of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly
results. The Company expects seasonality to be a factor in the operation or
results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third
quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors
affecting the Company's operations include food, liquor and labor costs.
Significant numbers of the Company's personnel are paid at rates related to the
federal minimum wage which is currently $5.15 per hour. Accordingly, increases
in the minimum wage will increase the company's labor costs. As costs of food
and labor have increased, the Company has historically been able to offset these
increases through economies of scale and improved operating procedures. To date,
inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins.
-10-
<PAGE>
Government Regulation
The Company's entertainment restaurant locations are subject to numerous
federal, state and local laws affecting health, sanitation, safety and Americans
with Disabilities Act accessibility standards, as well as to state and local
licensing regulation of the sale of alcoholic beverages. Each location has
appropriate licenses from regulatory authorities allowing it to sell liquor,
beer and wine, and each location has food service licenses from local health
authorities. The Company's licenses to sell alcoholic beverages must be renewed
annually and may be suspended or revoked at any time for cause, including
violation by the Company or its employees of any law or regulation pertaining to
alcoholic beverage control, such as those regulating the minimum age of patrons
or employees, advertising, wholesale, purchasing, and inventory control. The
failure of a location to obtain or retain liquor or food service licenses would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. In order to reduce
this risk, each location is operated in accordance with standardized procedures
designed to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
The Company may be subject in certain states to "dram-shop" statutes,
which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to
recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages
to the intoxicated person. The Company carries liquor liability coverage as part
of its existing comprehensive general liability insurance and has never been
named as a defendant in a lawsuit involving "dram-shop" statutes.
The development and construction of additional locations will be subject
to compliance with applicable zoning, land use and environmental regulations.
The Company's operations are also subject to federal and state minimum wage laws
governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits and other
employee matters. Significant numbers of the company's personnel are paid at
rates related to the federal minimum wage which is currently $5.15 per hour.
Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage will increase the Company's labor
costs.
A portion of the Company's revenues is derived from the use and operation
of video gaming machines. There can be no assurance that any future regulations
or legislation will not limit, restrict or eliminate the use or operation of
video gaming machines.
Trademarks
The Company has federally registered its "Fox and Hound" and "Bailey's
Sports Grille" service marks. The Company's "7 Bailey's Sports Grille" and
"Serious Fun 7 Bailey's Sports Grille" design marks are also federally
registered. The Company regards its service and design marks as having
significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of its
entertainment restaurant concept. The Company is aware of names and marks
similar to the service marks of the Company that are used by other persons in
certain geographic areas. The Company believes such uses will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company as either the Bailey's or Fox and Hound
tradenames may be used if either name is unavailable. The Company's policy is to
pursue registration of its marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any
infringement of its marks.
-11-
<PAGE>
Employees
As of December 28, 1999, the Company employed approximately 1,650 persons,
five of whom are executive officers, six of whom are support staff, six of whom
are multi-unit supervisors, 125 of whom are entertainment restaurant unit
management personnel and the remainder of whom are hourly entertainment
restaurant personnel. None of the Company's employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The Company believes its employee relations are
satisfactory.
Item 2. Properties
All of the Company's units are located in leased space with the exception
of the Bailey's unit in Columbia, South Carolina, which is owned by the Company.
Initial lease terms range from three to ten years, with multiple renewal
options. All of the Company's leases provide for a minimum annual rent, and some
leases call for additional rent based on sales volume at the particular location
over specified minimum levels. Generally, the leases are net leases which
require the Company to pay the costs of insurance, taxes and a portion of
lessors' operating cost. See "Business-Locations."
The Company's executive offices are located at 9300 E. Central, Suite 100,
Wichita, Kansas 67206. The Company believes there is sufficient office space
available at favorable leasing terms in the Wichita, Kansas area to satisfy the
additional needs of the Company that may result from future expansion.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's Common
Stock during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended December 28,
1999.

of Operations
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the information set forth under "Selected Financial Data" and the Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Hound and two Bailey's entertainment restaurant locations during the year ended
December 30, 1997, opened thirteen Fox and Hound and three Bailey's
entertainment restaurant locations during the year ended December 29, 1998 and
opened five Fox and Hound entertainment restaurant locations and closed one Fox
and Hound and one Bailey's entertainment restaurant location during the year
-15-
<PAGE>
ended December 28, 1999.
Prior to December 30, 1998, pre-opening costs include labor costs, costs
of hiring and training personnel and certain other costs relating to opening new
restaurants, were capitalized and amortized over a 12 month period, beginning in
the period that the restaurant opened. Effective December 30, 1998, pre-opening
costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company
Fifty-two Weeks Ended December 28, 1999 Compared to Fifty-two Weeks Ended
December 29, 1998
Net sales increased $21,816,000 (64.0%) for the fifty-two weeks ended
December 28, 1999 to $55,930,000 from $34,114,000 in the fifty-two weeks ended
December 29, 1998, which is attributable to a 69.9% increase in store operating
weeks (1,843 versus 1,085) and a 3.4% decrease in average unit volumes
($1,578,000 versus $1,634,000). Same store sales decreased 0.5% for the
fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999.
Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased $5,920,000 (62.8%)
for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999 to $15,349,000 from $9,429,000
in the fifty-two weeks ended December 39, 1998, and such expenses decreased as a
percentage of sales from 27.6% to 27.4%. This decrease is attributable to better
food and beverage controls.
Restaurant operating expenses for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28,
1999 increased $13,534,000 (86.8%) to $29,120,000 from $15,586,000 in the
fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998, and such expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales to 52.1% from 45.7%. This increase is attributable to
higher labor costs (2.2%) resulting from the increase in food sales as a portion
of the overall sales mix (which has a higher labor cost compared to beverages
and entertainment), higher occupancy costs (1.1%) for units opened since June
1998, a one-time charge for a state sales tax assessment (0.6%), and higher
other operating expenses (1.4%) including maintenance costs, premium TV costs
and higher costs associated with training new managers. This increase is also
attributable to the change in accounting method for preopening expenses which,
prior to 1999, were capitalized and then amortized over a twelve month period.
The preopening expenses included in restaurant operating expenses for the
fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999 was $487,000 or 0.9% of sales.
Depreciation and amortization increased $822,000 (28.6%) for the fifty-two
weeks ended December 28, 1999 to $3,697,000 from $2,875,000 in the fifty-two
weeks ended December 29, 1998, and such expenses decreased as a percentage of
net sales to 6.6% from 8.4%. This percentage decrease is due to the change in
accounting method for preopening expenses. The preopening amortization expense
included in depreciation and amortization for the fifty-two weeks ended December
29, 1998 was $941,000 or 2.8% of sales. Excluding the impact of preopening
amortization, depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of sales
actually increased 1.0% due to higher depreciation costs for units opened since
June 1998.
Store closure expense was $1,087,000 or 2.0% of sales for the fifty-two
weeks ended December 28, 1999 and represents the estimated costs associated with
closing the Fox & Hound in Davenport, Iowa. The expense includes $394,000 of
future lease costs, $640,000 in abandoned leasehold improvements and $53,000 in
abandoned furniture, fixtures and equipment. This unit was opened in June 1998
and closed in October 1999. The unit had been experiencing consistent negative
cash flows due to low sales volumes.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,291,000 (49.5%) for the
fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999 to $3,900,000 from $2,609,000 in the
fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998, and such expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 7.6% to 7.0%. The decrease reflects the effect of
leveraging the general and administrative expenses against higher sales. For
fiscal 1998 and through February 28, 1999, certain accounting and administrative
services were contracted from Coulter Enterprises, Inc. ("CEI"), a restaurant
management services company owned by the Company's former Chairman of the Board,
Jamie B. Coulter. The service agreement provided for specified accounting and
administrative services to be provided on a cost pass-through basis. For fiscal
1998 and through February 28, 1999, the fixed annual charge was $194,500, plus
an additional fee of $466 per restaurant per
-17-
<PAGE>
28-day accounting period.
On October 19, 1998, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc. ("Lone Star"), a
restaurant company of which Mr. Coulter is chairman and CEO, purchased certain
assets and assumed certain liabilities of CEI, including the former services
agreement with the Company. From October 19, 1998 to February 28, 1999, such
services were provided by Lone Star. Beginning March 1, 1999, these services
were provided by Franchise Services Company ("FSC") at a market rate.
The loss on disposal of assets consisted mainly of the disposal of certain
POS equipment in six units which was replaced with POS systems consistent with
the systems used in each of the other units.
The interest earned during the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998 was
from the investment of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The
decrease in interest earned resulted from the prior utilization of the proceeds
from the Initial Public Offering to develop additional locations. Interest
expense increased $1,035,000 for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999 to
$1,175,000. This increase reflects the borrowings made to fund additional unit
development .
The effective income tax rate on income before the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 1999
was 33.8% and the effective income tax rate for the fifty-two weeks ended
December 29, 1998 was 37.0%. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of
the credit for social security taxes paid on tips in excess of minimum wage
relative to the amount of income before taxes.
Fifty-two Weeks Ended December 29, 1998 (Historical) Compared to Fifty-two
Weeks Ended December 30, 1997 (Pro Forma)
Net sales increased $15,557,000 (83.8%) for the fifty-two weeks ended
December 29, 1998 to $34,114,000 from $18,557,000 in the fifty-two weeks ended
December 30, 1997, which is principally attributable to a 68.5% increase in
store operating weeks (1,085 versus 644) and 9.5% increase in average unit
volumes ($1,634,000 versus $1,492,000). However, same store sales decreased 0.9%
for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998.
Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased $4,517,000 (91.9%)
for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998 to $9,429,000 from $4,912,000 in
the fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 1997, and such expenses increased as a
percentage of sales from 26.4% to 27.6%. This increase is attributable to a
higher food & beverage sales mix.
Restaurant operating expenses for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29,
1998 increased $7,305,000 (88.2%) to $15,586,000 from $8,281,000 in the
fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 1997, and such expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales to 45.7% from 44.6%. This increase was mainly
attributable to additional labor required during the first few months after a
new unit opens as well as the additional labor required by the higher food &
beverage sales.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1,823,000 (173.4%) for the
fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998 to $2,875,000 from $1,052,000 in the
fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 1997, principally reflecting the depreciation
and preopening amortization relating to the opening of sixteen new restaurants
since December 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased $595,000 (29.6%) for the
fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 1998 to $2,609,000 from $2,014,000 in the
fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 1997, and such expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 10.8% to 7.6%. The decrease reflects the effect of
leveraging the general and administrative expenses against higher sales.
Other income, principally interest, decreased $59,000 (45.1%) for the
fifty-two weeks ended
-18-
<PAGE>
December 29, 1998 to $70,000 from $129,000 in the fifty-two weeks ended December
30, 1997. This decrease was a result of the utilization of the remaining net
proceeds of the initial public offering of the Company, which commenced on July
17, 1997 (the "Initial Public Offering").
Interest expense decreased $359,000 for the fifty-two weeks ended December
29, 1998 to $140,000 from $499,000 in the fifty-two weeks ended December 30,
1997. All debt was repaid in July 1997 from the net proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering and the Company began borrowing to fund additional unit
development in July 1998.
The effective income tax rate for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29,
1998 was 37.0% and the effective pro forma income tax rate for the fifty-two
weeks ended December 30, 1997 was 35.9%. This increase was primarily due to the
impact of higher tax exempt interest income earned during 1997 as compared to
1998.
Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation
As a result of the revenues associated with each new location, the timing
of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly
results. The Company expects seasonality to be a factor in the operation or
results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third
quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors
affecting the Company's operations include food, liquor and labor costs.
Although a large number of the Company's restaurant personnel are paid at the
federal minimum wage level, the majority of personnel are tipped employees, and
therefore, recent as well as future minimum wage changes are likely to have very
little effect on labor costs. As costs of food and labor have increased, the
Company has historically been able to offset these increases through economies
of scale and improved operating procedures. To date, inflation has not had a
material impact on operating margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company was formed on February 7, 1997 and, pursuant to the Exchange
on February 20, 1997, the Company became the owner of the eight then-existing
Bailey's locations and three then-existing Fox & Hound locations. Prior to the
Exchange, Bailey's financed its expansion primarily with loans from stockholders
and loans from banks. Prior to the Exchange, Fox & Hound financed its expansion
primarily with partners' equity contributions and loans from related parties.
As is customary in the restaurant industry, prior to the Initial Public
Offering the Company had operated with negative working capital. The Company
does not have significant receivables or inventory and receives trade credit
based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies. Because funds
available from cash sales are not needed immediately to pay for food and
supplies, or to finance inventory, they may be considered as a source of
financing for noncurrent capital expenditures.
Immediately following the Initial Public Offering, the Company repaid
outstanding indebtedness to Intrust Bank, N.A., Wichita, in the principal amount
of approximately $10.8 million out of a total credit line of $12.0 million
available to the Company. This outstanding indebtedness was incurred to
refinance the debt of the acquired entities in the Exchange of approximately
$9.1 million and to finance the stockholder dividend payment to the former
stockholders of Bailey's of approximately $1.7 million.
On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with
Intrust Bank, N.A. (the "Facility") which provides for a line of credit of
$20,000,000 subject to certain limitations
-19-
<PAGE>
based on earnings before interest, interest taxes, depreciation and amortization
of the past fifty-two weeks. The Facility requires monthly payments of interest
only until November 1, 2001, at which time equal monthly installments of
principal and interest are required as necessary to fully amortize the
outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a period of four years.
Interest is accrued at a rate of 1/2% below the prime rate as published in The
Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the Facility were used for restaurant
development. As of December 28, 1999, the Company had borrowed $14,395,000 under
the Facility. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants.
Cash flows from operations were $4,903,000 and purchases of property and
equipment were $ 4,695,000 for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 1999.
The Company intends to open up to four entertainment restaurant locations
in 2000 and between five to seven locations in 2001. The Company expects to
expend approximately $5.0 to $7.0 million to open new locations over the next 12
months.
The Company believes the funds available from the Facility and its cash
flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. There can be
no assurance, however, that changes in the Company's operating plans, the
acceleration of the Company's expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues,
increased expenses, potential acquisitions or other events will not cause the
Company to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated, prevent the
Company from achieving the goals of its expansion strategy or prevent any newly
opened locations from operating profitably. There can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company utilizes and is dependent upon computer systems and software
to conduct its business. In 1997, the Company initiated a review and assessment
of all hardware and software to confirm they will function properly in the year
2000. The systems and software include those developed and maintained by FSC
in-house computer department as well as purchased software which is run on
in-house computer systems, including POS systems and back-of-house systems in
the units. The Company has experienced no Year 2000 issues and no problems are
expected in the future.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
The Stockholders
Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Total
Entertainment Restaurant Corp. as of December 28, 1999 and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Total
Entertainment Restaurant Corp. as of December 28, 1999, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, on December 30, 1998, the
Company changed its method of accounting for pre-opening costs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
Total Entertainment Restaurant Corp. (the Company) was organized as a Delaware
corporation on February 7, 1997, for the purpose of developing entertainment
restaurant locations. Effective February 20, 1997, the Company entered into
simultaneous stock exchange transactions and issued an aggregate of 8,000,000
shares of its common stock for all the common stock of Bailey's Sports Grille,
Inc., all the common stock of F&H Restaurant Corp. and the remaining 25%
minority interest in Fox & Hound Entertainment and Restaurant Group
(collectively, the Exchange). The Exchange among the Company and F&H Restaurant
Corp. was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of
accounting. For accounting purposes, F&H Restaurant Corp. was deemed to be the
acquiring corporation since, on completion of the Exchange, its former
stockholders controlled 50% of the Company. Accordingly, the assets and
liabilities of F&H Restaurant Corp. were recorded by the Company on the
acquisition date using their historical amounts.
The Exchange among the Company and the owners of the remaining 25% of Fox &
Hound Entertainment and Restaurant Group and the owners of Bailey's Sports
Grille, Inc. was also accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
operations of the Company effectively commenced on February 20, 1997, and
include the operating results of the companies acquired in the Exchange from
that date. The acquired assets and liabilities assumed have been recorded at
their estimated fair values at the Exchange date, with exception of F&H
Restaurant Corp., which was recorded at historical costs as described
previously. The Exchange resulted in goodwill of approximately $4,740,000,
including approximately $3,448,000 previously recorded by F&H Restaurant Corp.
in its acquisition of its 75% partnership interest in the Fox & Hound
Entertainment and Restaurant Group. The purchase price allocation to the assets
and liabilities acquired in the Exchange is summarized as follows:
Assets acquired:
Current assets $1,498,276
Property and equipment 7,039,719

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business (continued)
Upon formation, the Company issued 8,000 shares of common stock at $0.125 per
share. In connection with the Exchange, the shares originally issued were
canceled and 100,000 new shares of common stock were issued. In February 1997,
the Company's Board of Directors approved a 79 for 1 stock dividend. All share,
per share, and stock option data included in the accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto have been restated to reflect the stock dividend.
The following supplemental proforma information for the 52 weeks ended December
30, 1997 presents the combined results of operations of the Company as though
the Exchange had occurred at January 1, 1997. The proforma information is
unaudited and not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company had the
Exchange occurred at such date.
Revenues $18,557,115
Net income $1,081,192
Basic earnings per share $0.12
As of December 28, 1999, the Company owned and operated 35 entertainment and
restaurant locations under the Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille (Fox & Hound),
Bailey's Sports Grille and Bailey's Pub & Grille (Bailey's) brand names. The
Company's entertainment restaurant locations combine a comfortable and inviting
social gathering place, full menu and full service bar, state-of-the-art audio
and video systems for sports entertainment, traditional games of skill such as
pocket billiards and late-night dining alternatives in a single location. The
Company's entertainment restaurant locations appeal to a broad range of guests
who can participate in one or more aspects of the Company's total entertainment
restaurant experience. Fox & Hound and Bailey's encompass the Company's
multi-dimensional concept and serve both larger urban and smaller regional
markets. As of December 28, 1999, the Company owned and operated 23 Fox & Hounds
and 12 Bailey's in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. The Company operates in one business
segment.
The company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Tuesday in December.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
o Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Total
Entertainment Restaurant Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
o Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include currency on hand,
demand deposits with banks or financial institutions, and short-term investments
with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash
equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
o Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments exposed to credit risk consist primarily of
cash. The Company places its cash with high credit financial institutions and,
at times, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Depository insurance limit.
o Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.
o Pre-opening Costs
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP
98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, which requires costs
related to pre-opening activities be expensed as incurred. Prior to fiscal year
1999, the Company capitalized substantially all costs incurred prior to the
opening of new restaurants, excluding those costs capitalized as property and
equipment, and amortized such pre-opening costs over a one-year period.
Accumulated amortization was $1,515,356 at December 29, 1998. The Company
adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 effective December 30, 1998. The effect of
adoption of SOP 98-5 was to increase income from continuing operations in 1999
by $1,064,401 ($0.10 per share), net of tax expense of $625,125, and to record a
charge for the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $1,127,536, net of
tax benefits of $662,204, to expense costs that had been capitalized prior to
1999. Pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts, assuming the new
accounting principle is applied retroactively, are as follows:
1998 1997
---- ----
Net income--as reported $2,080,292 $980,157
Net income--pro forma $1,196,189 $736,723
Basic and diluted earnings per share--as reported $ 0.20 $ 0.11
Basic and diluted earnings per share--pro forma $ 0.11 $ 0.08
o Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance repairs and renewals
which do not enhance the value of or increase the life of the assets are
expensed as incurred.
Buildings and leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method
over the lesser of the life of the lease, including renewal options, or the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 30 years. Equipment
and furniture and fixtures are depreciated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to seven years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
o Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair
value of the net assets at the date of acquisition and is being amortized over
20 years. The carrying value of goodwill will be reviewed if the facts and
circumstances suggest it may be impaired.
o Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
o Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the periods
ended December 28, 1999, December 29, 1998, and December 30, 1997 were $622,555,
$489,929, and $179,737, respectively.
o Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the Company uses the intrinsic
value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures
compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Company's
common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the
stock. The Company's policy is to grant stock options with grant prices equal to
the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Proceeds from
the exercise of common stock options issued to officers, directors and key
employees under the Company's stock option plans are credited to common stock to
the extent of par value and to additional paid-in capital for the excess.
Required pro forma disclosures of compensation expense determined under the fair
value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, are presented in Note 6.
o Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from estimates.
F-13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
o Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming
conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options.
o Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 consolidated
financial statements to conform with the 1999 presentation.
3. Initial Public Offering
On July 17, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,415,000
shares of its common stock at an offering price of $9.00 per share. Total net
proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting commissions and
offering costs were $19,144,938.
4. Preferred Stock
The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000
shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such
series.
5. Revolving Note Payable
On February 24, 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $10,800,000 under a
$12,000,000 revolving line of credit with Intrust Bank, N.A., Wichita, Kansas.
The proceeds from the borrowing were used to retire certain indebtedness assumed
in connection with the Exchange, including all notes payable to affiliates,
notes payable to banks and dividends payable to certain predecessor stockholders
representing substantially all of the undistributed S Corporation earnings
attributable to such stockholders prior to the Exchange. The line of credit was
retired upon completion of the Company's initial public offering in July 1997.
On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Intrust
Bank, N.A. (the "Facility") which provides for a line of credit of $20,000,000
subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization of the past fifty-two weeks. The note is secured
by substantially all assets of the Company. The note restricts the ability of
the Company to pay dividends. The Facility requires monthly payments of interest
only until November 1, 2001, at which time equal monthly installments of
principal and interest are required as necessary to fully amortize the
outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a period of four years.
Interest is accrued at a rate of 1/2% below the prime rate as published in The
Wall Street Journal (8.50% and 7.25% at December 28, 1999 and December 29, 1998,
respectively). Proceeds from the Facility were used for restaurant development
and acquisition of treasury

stock. As of December 28, 1999 and December 29, 1998, the Company had borrowed
$14,395,000 and $11,815,000, respectively, under the Facility.
The following represents future maturities of the note:
2001 $ 512,618
2002 3,222,972
2003 3,490,477
2004 3,780,185
2005 3,388,748
-----------
Total $14,395,000
===========
6. Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its employee
stock options because, as described below, the alternative fair value accounting
provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, requires the use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25,
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.
o 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
In March 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan
providing for incentive and nonqualified stock options pursuant to which
up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock will be available for issuance. The
Plan was amended in May 1999 to increase the number of authorized shares
reserved for issuance to 1,600,000 shares from 1,500,000 shares. The Plan
covers the former Chairman of the Board, certain officers and key
employees. Options granted have a vesting period of three to five years
and a life of ten years.
o Directors' Stock Option Plan
In March 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan
providing for nondiscretionary grants to nonemployee directors pursuant to
which up to 150,000 shares of common stock will be available for issuance.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement No. 123, which also requires the information be determined as if the
Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair
value of that Statement. The fair value method for these options were estimated
at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate ranging from
5.0% to 5.3%; no dividend yields; volatility factor ranging from .344 to .800;
and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years.
F-15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
6. Stock Options (continued)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information is as follows:
December 28, December 29, December 30,
1999 1998 1997
------------ ------------ ------------
Pro forma net (loss) income $(524,264) $1,719,143 $838,152
Pro forma (loss) earnings per
share--basic and diluted $(0.05) $0.17 $0.09
Weighted average fair value of
options granted during the year $3.05 $2.56 $3.45

periods ended December 28, 1999, December 29, 1998, and December 30, 1997

150,650 options exercisable at December 29,1998.
7. Related Party Transactions

administrative services during 1999, 1998, and 1997. The Company incurred fees
of $60,563, $320,599, and $337,140 related to these services for the periods
ended December 28, 1999, December 29, 1998, and December 30, 1997, respectively.

8. Leases
The Company leases many of its facilities under noncancelable operating leases
having terms expiring between 2000 and 2010. The leases have renewal clauses of
3 to 5 years, exercisable at the option of the lessee. In addition, certain
leases contain escalation clauses based on a fixed percentage increase and
provisions for contingent rentals based on a percentage of gross revenues, as
defined by the lease. Total rental expense for the periods ended December 28,
1999, December 29, 1998, and December 30, 1997 were $3,196,886, $1,564,399,
$846,330, respectively, of which $223,923, $241,892, and $229,218, respectively,
were paid to a related party. There were no contingent rentals during 1999,
1998, or 1997.
