3.   Restructuring

In fiscal 1999, the Company recognized approximately $7.6 million in
restructuring charges comprised of staff reduction costs of $6.3 million and
exit cost liabilities of $1.3 million, as defined below. The staff reduction
costs were incurred during the second, third and fourth quarters of 1999, in
connection with the reduction of 90 corporate and administrative employees. As
of September 10, 2000, the Company had paid $6.2 million of the staff reduction
costs and management expects the remaining amount to be paid during fiscal 2000.

The exit costs were recorded in the fourth quarter of 1999 in connection with
the planned closure and relocation of 50 specifically identified corporate-owned
stores. The exit cost liability is comprised of the operating lease obligations
after the expected closure or relocation dates and related leased premises
restoration costs. As of September 10, 2000, 22 corporate-owned stores have been
relocated as a part of the restructuring. Management expects that the remaining
exit cost liabilities will be paid as the related obligations become due.

4.   Debt Extinguishment

In the third fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company retired $5.0 million of
outstanding senior subordinated notes through open market transactions. The
Company recognized a gain of approximately $213,000 reflecting the difference
between the face value of the notes and the open market purchase price. The
Company also paid approximately $207,000 in non-recurring amendment fees and
recorded approximately $297,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs
related to this transaction. This retirement resulted in an after-tax
extraordinary loss of approximately $181,000.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The 2000 and 1999 third fiscal quarters referenced herein represent the twelve-
week periods ended September 10, 2000 and September 12, 1999, respectively. The
2000 and 1999 three fiscal quarters referenced herein represent the thirty-six
weeks ended September 10, 2000 and September 12, 1999, respectively.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Revenues
--------
General.  Revenues include retail sales of food by corporate-owned stores,
royalties and fees from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales
of food, equipment and supplies by our distribution commissaries to domestic and
international franchise stores.

Total revenues decreased 1.5% to $267.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended
September 10, 2000, from $271.9 million for the comparable period in 1999, and
increased 1.6% to $801.6 million for the three fiscal quarters ended September
10, 2000, from $788.8 million for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in
total revenues for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000 is due primarily
to decreased corporate store and domestic distribution revenues while the
increase in total revenues for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10,
2000 is due primarily to increased domestic stores and international revenues.
These results are more fully described below.

Domestic Stores
---------------
Corporate Stores. Revenues from corporate store operations decreased 3.2% to
$85.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $88.1
million for the comparable period in 1999, and increased 2.0% to $263.7 million
for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, from $258.4 million for
the comparable period in 1999.

The decrease in revenues for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000 is due
primarily to a decrease in same store sales while the increase in revenues for
the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000 is due primarily to an
increase in the number of corporate stores offset in part by a decrease in same
store sales.  Same store sales for corporate stores decreased 3.7% and 0.6% for
the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000,
respectively, compared to the same period in 1999.  The number of corporate
stores was 657 as of September 10, 2000, as compared to 654 as of September 12,
1999.

Domestic Franchise.  Revenues from domestic franchise operations increased 2.2%
to $27.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $26.6
million for the comparable period in 1999, and increased 3.0% to $82.2 million
for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, from $79.8 million for
the comparable period in 1999.

These increases are due primarily to an increase in the number of domestic
franchise stores and changes in same store sales.  Same store sales for domestic
franchise stores decreased 2.0% and increased 0.9% for the fiscal quarter and
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, respectively, compared to the
same period in 1999.  The number of domestic franchise stores was 4,089 as of
September 10, 2000, as compared to 3,909 as of September 12, 1999.

Domestic Distribution
---------------------
Revenues from domestic distribution operations decreased 2.2% to $140.8 million
for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $144.0 million for the
comparable period in 1999, and increased 0.3% to $412.6 million for the three
fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, from $411.5 million for the comparable
period in 1999.

The decrease in revenues for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000 is due
primarily to decreased domestic franchise same store sales, a market decrease in
cheese prices and an increased demand for lower-priced fresh dough.  The
increase in revenues for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000 is
due primarily to an increase in food volumes related to increased domestic
franchise same store sales and increased store counts, offset in part by a
market decrease in cheese prices and an increased demand for lower-priced fresh
dough.

International
-------------
Revenues from international operations increased 10.2% to $14.6 million for the
fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $13.2 million for the comparable
period in 1999, and increased 10.5% to $43.1 million for the three fiscal
quarters ended September 10, 2000, from $39.1 million for the comparable period
in 1999.

These increases are due primarily to an increase in the number of international
franchise stores and an increase in same store sales.  On a constant dollar
basis, same store sales increased by 3.7% and 3.5% for the fiscal quarter and
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, respectively, compared to the
same period in 1999.  The number of international stores was 2,069 as of
September 10, 2000, as compared to 1,821 as of September 12, 1999.

Operating Expenses
------------------
Cost of sales decreased 0.2% to $200.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended
September 10, 2000, from $201.0 million for the comparable period in 1999, and
increased 1.7% to $591.7 million for the three fiscal quarters ended September
10, 2000, from $581.6 million for the comparable period in 1999.  Gross profit
decreased 5.1% to $67.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000,
from $70.9 million for the comparable period in 1999, and increased 1.3% to
$209.9 million for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, from
$207.2 million for the comparable period in 1999.

The decrease in gross profit for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000 is
due primarily to a decrease in total revenues and an increase in corporate store
labor expense. This decrease was partially offset by lower food costs due to an
increased demand for fresh dough, which costs less to produce than our thin
crust and deep dish products. The increase in gross profit for the three fiscal
quarters ended September 10, 2000 is due primarily to an increase in total
revenues and lower food costs due to an increased demand for fresh dough. This
increase was partially offset by increases in corporate store labor and delivery
expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased 17.8% to $41.7 million for the
fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $50.8 million for the comparable
period in 1999, and decreased 10.8% to $132.3 million for the three fiscal
quarters ended September 10, 2000, from $148.4 million for the comparable period
in 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased 3.1% to 15.6% for the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000 and
decreased 2.3% to 16.5% for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000,
compared to the same periods in 1999.

These decreases in general and administrative expense as a percentage of total
revenues are due primarily to a decrease in covenants not-to-compete
amortization expense and, to a lesser extent, savings realized from our
corporate restructuring in late 1999 . Covenants not-to-compete amortization
expense decreased 66.4% to $2.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended September
10, 2000, from $7.8 million for the comparable period in 1999, and decreased
66.7% to $7.9 million for the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000,
from $23.6 million for the comparable period in 1999, due to the use of an
accelerated amortization method.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
------------------------------------
Provision (benefit) for income taxes increased $3.0 million to $3.7 million for
the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000, from $0.7 million for the
comparable period in 1999, and increased $12.3 million to $11.6 million for the
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000, from a benefit of $0.7 million
for the comparable period in 1999. These increases are due primarily to a non-
recurring reversal of state tax reserves of $2.9 million, net of federal tax, in
the fiscal quarter ended June 20, 1999 and increases in taxable income in 2000
compared to the same periods in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
We had negative working capital of $5.5 million and cash of $26.7 million at
September 10, 2000. Historically, we have operated with minimal positive working
capital or negative working capital primarily because our receivable collection
periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our
current liabilities. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which
further limits our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of
liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under
our revolving credit facility. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures
and debt commitments from these sources.

                                       9
<PAGE>

As of September 10, 2000, we had $697.1 million of long-term debt, of which
$15.9 million was classified as a current liability, there were no borrowings
under our $100 million revolving credit facility and letters of credit issued
under that facility were $14.2 million. The borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Cash provided by operating activities was $40.6 million and $33.2 million for
the three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000 and September 12, 1999,
respectively. The $7.4 million increase is due primarily to a $7.2 million net
change in operating assets and liabilities, an increase in net income of $9.9
million, and a $2.7 million decrease in deferred income taxes, offset in part by
a $13.5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Cash used in investing activities was $23.3 million and $17.6 million for the
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000 and September 12, 1999,
respectively. The $5.7 million increase is due primarily to a $5.7 million
increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment and franchise stores and
commissaries, including $4.8 million relating to the purchase of 15 franchise
stores, and a $2.6 million decrease in cash provided by notes receivable
repayments. These increases were partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in
cash provided by proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, including
$3.1 million relating to the sale of 8 corporate stores.

Cash used in financing activities was $20.8 million and $2.5 million for the
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000 and September 12, 1999,
respectively. The $18.3 million increase is due primarily to additional
principal payments required under our term loan agreements as a result of excess
cash on hand, as defined, and a $5.0 million extinguishment of senior
subordinated notes during the fiscal quarter ended September 10, 2000.

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe
that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the
revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next
several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be
available under the senior credit facilities or otherwise to enable us to
service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facilities and the Senior
Subordinated Notes, to redeem or refinance TISM's, our Parent company,
Cumulative Preferred Stock when required or to make anticipated capital
expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or
refinance the Senior Subordinated Notes and to service, extend or refinance the
senior credit facilities will be subject to future economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk
-----------

The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate changes on
our variable rate debt and foreign currency fluctuations relating to
international revenues.  Management actively monitors these exposures.  As a
policy, the Company does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold
or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Swaps
-------------------
The Company may enter into interest rate swaps or similar instruments with the
objective of reducing our volatility in borrowing costs.  In 1999, we entered
into two interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert the Eurodollar
interest rate component on a portion of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate
of 5.12% through December 2001.  As of September 10, 2000, the total notional
amount of these swap agreements was $176.0 million.

Interest Rate Risk
------------------
The Company's variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general
level of interest rates.  As of September 10, 2000, a portion of the Company's
debt is borrowed at Eurodollar rates plus a blended margin rate of approximately
3.3%. At September 10, 2000, the weighted average interest rate on our $250.9
million of variable interest debt was approximately 10.1% and the fair value of
the debt approximates its carrying value.

The Company had total interest expense of approximately $52.4 million for the
three fiscal quarters ended September 10, 2000. The estimated increase in
interest expense from a hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in
applicable variable interest rates would be approximately $3.6 million.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
----------------------------------
The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts or similar instruments
with the objective of reducing fluctuations in cash flows associated with
changes in the related foreign currency rates.  As of September 10, 2000, we had
no outstanding forward exchange contracts.  No significant gains or losses
relating to forward exchange contracts have been recognized during fiscal 2000.
