FAMILY RESTAURANTS, INC.
------------------------
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
1. Company. Family Restaurants, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the
-------
"Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1986 and is primarily engaged in the
operation of full-service restaurants through its subsidiaries. At June 28,
1998, the Company operated 273 restaurants in 30 states, with approximately 65%
of its restaurants located in California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois
and Indiana. Additionally, as of June 28, 1998, the Company was the franchisor
and licensor of 21 restaurants outside the United States.
2. Financial Statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
--------------------
in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange
Commission Regulation S-X. Reference is made to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 28, 1997 included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997
(the "Form 10-K") for information with respect to the Company's significant
accounting and financial reporting policies, as well as other pertinent
information. The Company believes that all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for
the quarter and six months ended June 28, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
those for the full year.
3. Long-Term Debt. On August 12, 1997, FRI-MRD Corporation (a wholly-
--------------
owned subsidiary of the Company) ("FRI-MRD") issued new senior discount notes
(the "Senior Discount Notes") in the face amount of $61 million at a price of
approximately 75% of par. The Senior Discount Notes are due on January 24, 2002
and accrete at a rate of 15% per annum until July 31, 1999, and thereafter,
interest will be payable in cash semi-annually at the rate of 15% per annum.
The $61 million of Senior Discount Notes were issued to an existing holder of
the Company's 9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") in exchange for
$15.6 million of Senior Notes plus approximately $34 million of cash, and are
part of an agreement pursuant to which FRI-MRD had the ability to issue up to a
maximum of $75 million of Senior Discount Notes. The gain of $3,548,000
realized on the exchange of Senior Notes has been deferred and classified as an
element of long-term debt in accordance with the guidelines of Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue No. 96-19 because the present value of the cash flows of the
Senior Discount Notes was not at least 10% different from the present value of
the cash flows of the Senior Notes exchanged. The deferred gain is being
amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the Senior
Discount Notes. On January 14 and 15, 1998, FRI-MRD issued the remaining $14
million in face amount of the Senior Discount Notes available under such
agreement to the same purchaser at a price of 83% of par. FRI-MRD received
approximately $11.6 million in cash as a result of this subsequent sale.
Proceeds from the sales of the Senior Discount Notes have been and will continue
to be used to fund the Company's capital expenditure programs and for general
corporate purposes.
4. Opening Costs. Opening costs are incurred in connection with the
-------------
opening or remodeling of a restaurant and are principally related to stocking
the restaurant and training its staff. Through the year ended December 28,
1997, the Company's policy had been to capitalize such
-7-
<PAGE>
opening costs and amortize them over one year. In April 1998, the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5
("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which specifies
that all costs of start-up activities, including restaurant opening costs,
should be expensed as incurred. Although SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998, early adoption is allowed, and the Company
elected to adopt the provisions of SOP 98-5 in the quarter ended March 29, 1998.
Accordingly, $344,000 of unamortized opening costs at December 28, 1997
(classified as other current assets) was expensed in the condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the quarter ended March 29, 1998. Opening costs
incurred during the quarter and six months ended June 28,1998 were $638,000 and
$914,000, respectively. Amortization of opening costs of $3,000 in the
comparable periods of 1997 has been reclassified.
5. KKR Merger. The Company, FRI-Sub, Inc., a newly organized Delaware
----------
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FRI-MRD (the "Merger Sub"), and Koo
Koo Roo, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("KKR"), have entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant
to which the Merger Sub will merge with and into KKR (the "Merger"), with KKR as
the surviving corporation of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, KKR will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of FRI-MRD. The closing of the Merger is
subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, the approval of the
common stockholders of KKR and the obtaining of certain regulatory approvals and
third party consents.
As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, $.01 par
value, of KKR will be converted into the right to receive one share of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock").
In connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement, FRI-MRD provided a $3.0
million loan (the "Bridge Loan") to a subsidiary of KKR. Additionally, in
connection with the Merger, FRI-MRD will issue new senior secured discount notes
(the "New MRD Notes") for net proceeds of approximately $22.2 million and the
Company is expanding the Foothill Credit Facility (as defined below) by an
additional $20.0 million. The proceeds from the sale of the New MRD Notes will
be used to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock (the "Hamlet Shares") of
The Hamlet Group, Inc. ("Hamlet") immediately prior to the consummation of the
Merger (the "Hamlet Acquisition"). If the Effective Time of the Merger does not
occur within twenty-four hours of the closing of the Hamlet Acquisition, FRI-MRD
shall have the right to terminate and rescind the Hamlet Acquisition. In such
event, KKR shall pay to FRI-MRD the purchase price received by KKR in the Hamlet
Acquisition and the Hamlet Shares shall be sold back to KKR. The Merger and the
Hamlet Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- ------ Results of Operations
Certain information and statements included in this Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including,
without limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"expects" and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could result in actual
results of the Company or the restaurant industry differing materially from
expected results expressed or implied by such
-8-
<PAGE>
forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to itemize all of the
factors and specific events that could affect the outlook of a restaurant
company operating in a competitive environment, factors that could significantly
impact expected results include (i) the development of successful marketing
strategies for the Company's restaurants, (ii) the effect of national and
regional economic conditions, (iii) the availability of adequate working
capital, (iv) competitive products and pricing, (v) changes in legislation, (vi)
demographic changes, (vii) the ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel, (viii) changes in business strategy or development plans, (ix)
business disruptions, (x) changes in consumer preferences, tastes and eating
habits and (xi) increases in food and labor costs. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any
revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect
future events or developments.
The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" presented in the
Form 10-K.
As used herein, "comparable restaurants" means restaurants operated by the
Company on January 1, 1997 and that continued in operation through the end of
the second quarter of 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
A. Liquidity
The Company has been relying and will continue to rely primarily on
internally generated funds, supplemented if necessary by working capital
advances available under the Foothill Credit Facility (as defined below), for
its liquidity. In addition, FRI-MRD raised approximately $45.6 million in cash
from the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes to supplement its liquidity
needs. The Company's viability has been and will continue to be dependent upon
its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis, and to comply with the terms of its financing agreements.
Statement of Cash Flows. For the first six months of 1998, the Company
reported net cash used in operating activities of $1.2 million compared to net
cash used in operating activities of $6.3 million for the same period in 1997.
The difference in cash received from customers, franchisees and licensees as
compared to cash paid to suppliers and employees improved by $5.8 million from
1997 to 1998 which more than offset an increase in interest paid, net of $0.7
million. For the first six months of 1998, the Company reported net cash used
in investing activities of $14.4 million compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $12.7 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in net
cash used in investing activities of $1.7 million was due to the $3.0 million
bridge loan related to the KKR Merger, an increase in capital expenditures of
$4.3 million and an increase in opening costs of $0.8 million which more than
offset decreases in mandatory lease buyback of $2.8 million, lease termination
payments of $1.9 million and other amounts of $1.6 million. For the first six
months of 1998, the Company reported net cash provided by financing activities
of $9.9 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.0
million for the same period in 1997. During 1998, $11.6 million in net proceeds
from the issuance of notes was received, while payment of debt issuance costs
decreased $1.3 million from 1997.
-9-
<PAGE>
EBITDA. For the first six months of 1998, the Company reported EBITDA
(defined as earnings (loss) before opening costs, gain (loss) on disposition of
properties, provision for divestitures and write-down of long-lived assets,
restructuring costs, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $12.4
million, compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 1997. The $1.7
million improvement was primarily due to the continuing impact of El Torito and
Chi-Chi's cost reduction and reengineering strategies, which have improved
operating margins. This improved EBITDA is the continuation of the trend that
began in 1996 when new management was installed at both El Torito and Chi-Chi's.
Since 1995, the divisional EBITDA of the Company's ongoing operations is set
forth in the following table.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Divisional EBITDA
-----------------------
Fiscal Year Ended El Torito Chi-Chi's
----------------- --------- ---------
($ in thousands)
<S> <C> <C>
December 31, 1995 (a) $13,508 $(10,455)
December 29, 1996 11,956 (4,278)
December 28, 1997 17,627 36
</TABLE>
(a) Includes 53 weeks of operations and, in accordance with
Company policy at that time, excludes certain unallocated
corporate overhead.
The Company has included information concerning EBITDA herein because it
understands that such information is used by certain investors as one measure of
an issuer's historical ability to service debt. EBITDA should not be considered
as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income (loss) as an
indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as
a measure of liquidity. Furthermore, other companies may compute EBITDA
differently, and therefore, EBITDA amounts among companies may not be
comparable.
Working Capital Deficiency. The Company operates with a substantial
working capital deficiency because (i) restaurant operations are conducted
primarily on a cash (and cash equivalent) basis with a low level of accounts
receivable, (ii) rapid turnover allows a limited investment in inventories and
(iii) cash from sales is usually received before related accounts payable for
food, beverages and supplies become due. The Company had a working capital
deficiency of $62.6 million on June 28, 1998.
Credit Facility. The Company has a $35 million credit facility with
Foothill Capital Corporation (the "Foothill Credit Facility") to provide for the
ongoing working capital needs of the Company. The Foothill Credit Facility
provides for up to $15 million in revolving cash borrowings and up to $35
million in letters of credit (less the outstanding amount of revolving cash
borrowings). The Foothill Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of
the real and personal property of the Company, contains customary restrictive
covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, and expires on
January 10, 2002. The Company is in compliance with all financial ratios for
the quarter ended June 28, 1998. Letters of credit are issued under the
Foothill Credit Facility primarily to provide security for future amounts
payable under the Company's workers' compensation insurance program ($16.0
million of such letters of credit were outstanding as of August 10, 1998). No
revolving cash borrowings were outstanding as of August 10, 1998.
-10-
<PAGE>
On June 9, 1998, the Company entered into an amendment to the Foothill
Credit Facility. The amendment permits, among other things, (i) an increase in
the amount of borrowings available under the Foothill Credit Facility from $35.0
million to $55.0 million, (ii) the consummation of the transactions under the
Bridge Loan, (iii) the issuance of the New MRD Notes and (iv) the consummation
of the Hamlet Acquisition and the Merger. Although the amendments set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) above become effective upon execution of the amendment, the
additional borrowings under the Foothill Credit Facility only will become
available after the consummation of the Hamlet Acquisition and the Merger and
then only on a pro rata basis as each mortgage on the real property securing the
Foothill Credit Facility is amended to reflect the increase in the maximum
amount. The amendments set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above are subject to
customary closing conditions, including consummation of the Merger and the
payment of a consent fee in the amount of $100,000. In connection with the
execution of the amendment, Foothill earned a line increase fee of $500,000 of
which $150,000 was paid upon execution of the amendment and $350,000 is due upon
consummation of the Hamlet Acquisition and the Merger.
Senior Discount Notes. On August 12, 1997, FRI-MRD issued the Senior
Discount Notes in the face amount of $61 million to an existing holder of the
Company's Senior Notes in exchange for $15.6 million of Senior Notes plus
approximately $34 million of cash. On January 14 and 15, 1998, FRI-MRD issued
an additional $14 million in face amount of the Senior Discount Notes to the
same purchaser for approximately $11.6 million in cash. Proceeds from the sales
of the Senior Discount Notes have been and will continue to be used to fund the
Company's capital expenditure programs and for general corporate purposes. The
Company continues to consider additional sources of cash, such as the sale of
non-core assets.
On June 9, 1998, FRI-MRD and the holders of the existing Senior Discount
Notes entered into an amendment to the Note Agreement governing the Senior
Discount Notes. Pursuant to the amendment, upon the closing of the Merger, the
Senior Discount Notes will be amended to, among other things, permit (i) the
issuance of the New MRD Notes, (ii) the consummation of the Hamlet Acquisition
and the Merger and (iii) an increase in the amount of borrowings available under
the Foothill Credit Facility by up to $20.0 million.
Senior Secured Discount Notes. On June 9, 1998, FRI-MRD entered into a
Note Agreement pursuant to which FRI-MRD agreed to issue $24.0 million of New
MRD Notes for cash in an amount that provides a yield to July 31, 1999 of 14%
per annum. The New MRD Notes are due on January 24, 2002, and accrete at a rate
of 14% per annum until July 31, 1999. After July 31, 1999, interest will be
payable in cash semi-annually at the rate of 14% per annum with the first cash
interest payment due on January 31, 2000. The New MRD Notes are redeemable by
FRI-MRD, in whole or in part, on or before January 23, 2001, at a price of 105%
of the accreted value thereof, or after January 23, 2001, at a price of 102.5%
of the accreted value thereof. The New MRD Notes contain restrictive covenants,
including limitations on (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens,
(ii) the ability to make certain restricted payments, (iii) certain mergers,
consolidations and asset sales, (iv) certain transactions with affiliates and
(v) the issuance of any equity securities of Hamlet. Proceeds from the sale of
the New MRD Notes will be used exclusively to purchase, and thereafter will be
secured by, all of the outstanding shares of Hamlet. The closing of the sale of
the New MRD Notes is subject to customary closing conditions, including the
consummation of the Hamlet Acquisition.
-11-
<PAGE>
The Company continues to be highly leveraged and has significant debt
service requirements. Although management believes that its current sources of
cash should be sufficient to meet its operating and debt service requirements
for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to repay or refinance its Senior Notes and its 10-7/8% Senior Subordinated
Discount Notes due 2004, or that FRI-MRD will be able to repay or refinance the
Senior Discount Notes or the New MRD Notes, at their respective maturities.
B. Capital Expenditures
Net cash used in investing activities was $14.4 million for the first six
months of 1998, including $9.7 million for capital expenditures, as compared to
net cash used in investing activities of $12.7 million for the same period in
1997.
Capital expenditures of approximately $30 million are planned for fiscal
1998, including approximately $6 million devoted to normal improvements of the
Company's restaurants. The Company is continuing its remodeling of both El
Torito and Chi-Chi's restaurants and anticipates spending approximately $13
million to $14 million for this purpose in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1998, the
Company also anticipates opening up to seven new El Torito restaurants,
including its newly developed quick-service casual-style restaurant, "El Torito
Express Grill," the first of which opened on July 6, 1998 in Pasadena,
California. The Company also plans to upgrade El Torito's in-store POS
technology during fiscal 1998.
By August 10, 1998, the Company had completed the remodeling of 13
additional El Torito restaurants, primarily in the Los Angeles/Orange County
market, and 21 additional Chi-Chi's restaurants in various markets in 1998. The
Company has announced plans for an aggressive remodel program for the Chi-Chi's
chain over the next three years. This program could cost up to $50 million.
Included in 1998 capital spending are continuing expenditures to replace
the Company's mainframe computer software applications with new software to be
run in a client/server environment. In addition to improving processes and
allowing wider access to data, the new software is designed to make the
Company's computer systems Year 2000 compliant. The Company expects to spend
approximately $1.6 million on the new software and related hardware and
installation costs in 1998, approximately $0.7 million of which has been spent
through June 28, 1998. The project is expected to be completed by year-end 1998.
The Company is requesting Year 2000 compliance reports from its significant
vendors and service providers. If the computer systems of a significant vendor
or service provider are not Year 2000 compliant, it could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Results of Operations.
- ---------------------
The Company's total sales of $120,095,000 for the second quarter of 1998
decreased by $3,008,000 or 2.4% as compared to the same period in 1997. For the
first six months of 1998, total Company sales of $233,401,000 decreased by
$4,680,000 or 2.0% as compared to the same period in 1997. As shown below,
these decreases were primarily due to restaurants divested or closed in 1997 and
1998.

restaurants in the six month period which continue to reflect a competitive
operating environment for restaurants.

El Torito comparable sales in the second quarter were up 0.3% as compared
to the same period in 1997. This was an improvement over the first quarter when
El Torito reported comparable sales down 1.2%. The "Getaway to Mexico at El
Torito" advertising campaign continued into the second quarter, with a focus on
the Sonora region via promotional television and radio advertising. In
addition, the El Torito concept reintroduced Rolled Grilled Tacos with a free
Mexican Caesar Salad as the second quarter promotional product.
Comparable sales for Chi-Chi's were down 1.4% for the second quarter as
compared with the same period in 1997. After a disappointing sales month in
April, comparable sales results improved throughout the second quarter, with
June comparable sales up 2.1% as compared with the same period in 1997. For the
first six months of 1998, Chi-Chi's comparable sales were down 0.2% as compared
with the same period in 1997, a continuation of the positive trend in the rate
of sales improvement begun in the second quarter of 1997. From a marketing
perspective, Chi-Chi's began its third advertising campaign of the year on May
11, featuring the Twice Grilled Burrito and supported by television, radio and
print advertising. Additionally, sales for the traditional Cinco de Mayo
celebration increased 25% over the 1997 holiday. Cinco de Mayo was bolstered by
print advertising in all markets and featured food and drink specials as well as
festive activities.

Product costs of $32,033,000 for the second quarter of 1998 decreased by
$733,000 or 2.2% as compared to the same period in 1997. For the first six
months of 1998, product costs of $62,796,000 decreased by $335,000 or 0.5% as
compared to the same period in 1997. The decreases are primarily due to the
impact of the eight restaurants sold or closed since the beginning of 1997 and
the effects of the El Torito and Chi-Chi's cost reduction strategies. As a
percentage of sales, product costs increased to 26.7% in the second quarter of
1998 as compared to 26.6% in the same period of 1997 and increased to 26.9% for
the first six months of 1998 as compared to 26.5% in the same period of 1997.
Payroll and related costs of $41,712,000 for the second quarter of 1998
decreased by $791,000 or 1.9% as compared to the same period in 1997. For the
first six months of 1998, payroll and related costs of $81,918,000 decreased by
$1,452,000 or 1.7% as compared to the same period of 1997. The decreases are
primarily due to the impact of the eight restaurants sold or closed since the
beginning of 1997. As a percentage of sales, payroll and related costs
increased to 34.7% in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to 34.5% in the
same period of 1997 and increased to 35.1% for the first six months of 1998 as
compared to 35.0% in the same period of 1997. Savings realized from the El
Torito and Chi-Chi's cost reduction strategies which have focused on improving
labor scheduling and efficiencies have been offset by the impact of the minimum
wage increases nationally on September 1, 1997, and on March 1, 1997 and March
1, 1998 in California.
The Company is subject to Federal and state laws governing matters such as
minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions. Approximately half of the
Company's employees are paid at rates related to the minimum wage. Therefore,
increases in the minimum wage or decreases in the allowable tip credit (tip
credits reduce the minimum wage that must be paid to tipped employees in certain
states) increase the Company's labor costs. This is especially true in
California, where there is no tip credit. Effective October 1, 1996, the
Federal minimum wage was increased from $4.25 to $4.75, and effective September
1, 1997, it was further increased to $5.15. However, a provision of the new
measure effectively froze the minimum wage for tipped employees at current
levels by increasing the allowable tip credit in those states which allow for a
tip credit. Furthermore, in California, voters approved a proposition on
November 5, 1996 that increased the state's minimum wage to $5.00 on March 1,
1997 and further increased the state=s minimum wage to $5.75 on March 1, 1998.
In response to the minimum wage increases on October 1, 1996, March 1, 1997 and
March 1, 1998, the Company raised menu prices at its El Torito restaurants in an
effort to recover the higher payroll costs. Chi-Chi's also raised menu prices
in October and December 1997 as a result of the cumulative impact of these
minimum wage increases. At the request of President Clinton, Congress is
considering further increases in the Federal minimum wage over the next two
years. In addition, the California legislature is considering a further minimum
wage increase which would be effective in 1999.
Occupancy and other operating expenses of $31,331,000 for the second
quarter of 1998 decreased by $2,343,000 or 7.0% as compared to the same period
in 1997. For the first six months of 1998, occupancy and other operating
expenses of $62,179,000 decreased by $4,245,000 or 6.4% as compared to the same
period in 1997. The decreases are due, in part, to the impact of the eight
restaurants sold or closed since the beginning of 1997. As a percentage of
sales, occupancy and other operating expenses decreased to 26.1% in the second
quarter of 1998 as compared to 27.4% in the same period in 1997 and decreased to
26.6% for the first six months of 1998 as compared to 27.9%
-14-
<PAGE>
in the same period of 1997. These decreases primarily reflect (i) the impact of
El Torito and Chi-Chi's cost reduction strategies and (ii) a decrease in media
expense in El Torito in the first six months of 1998 as compared to the same
period of 1997.
Depreciation and amortization of $5,283,000 for the second quarter of 1998
decreased by $328,000 or 5.9% as compared to the same period in 1997. For the
first six months of 1998, depreciation and amortization of $10,622,000 decreased
by $559,000 or 5.0% as compared to the same period in 1997. These decreases
reflect the impact of (i) the eight restaurants sold or closed since the
beginning of 1997 and (ii) the write-down of certain long-lived assets in the
second quarter of 1997.
General and administrative expenses of $6,998,000 for the second quarter of
1998 increased by $34,000 or 0.5% as compared to the same period of 1997. For
the first six months of 1998, general and administrative expenses of $14,116,000
decreased by $326,000 or 2.3% as compared to the same period in 1997. As a
percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.8% in
the second quarter of 1998 as compared to 5.7% in the same period of 1997 and
remained flat at 6.1% for the first six months of 1998 and the same period of
1997. Management continues to closely evaluate the Company's general and
administrative cost structure for savings opportunities.
The Company reported a loss on disposition of properties of $0.7 million in
the second quarter of 1998 and $1.4 million for the first six months of 1998 as
compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the second quarter in 1997 and $1.9
million for the first six months of 1997. These amounts reflect losses
associated with restaurant divestments and closures in such periods.
The Company recorded a write-down of long-lived assets in the second
quarter of 1997 of $2.6 million.
Interest expense, net for the second quarter of 1998 of $5,999,000
increased by $1,443,000 or 31.7% as compared to the same period in 1997.
Interest expense, net for the first six months of 1998 of $11,826,000 increased
by $2,864,000 or 32.0% as compared to the same period in 1997. These increases
were primarily the result of the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes in August
1997 and January 1998 and the accretion of interest thereon, partially offset by
the elimination of cash interest expense associated with the $15.6 million of
Senior Notes received as part of the exchange on August 12, 1997.
Selected Division Operating Data.

(b) Divisional EBITDA with respect to any operating division is defined as
earnings (loss) before opening costs, gain (loss) on disposition of
properties, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
(c) Divested Operations in 1996 includes the results of the Family Restaurant
Division until it was divested on May 23, 1996 and the traditional

(d) EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before opening costs, gain (loss) on
disposition of properties, provision for divestitures and write-down of
long-lived assets, restructuring costs, interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. The Company has included information concerning EBITDA herein
because it understands that such information is used by certain investors as
one measure of an issuer's historical ability to service debt. EBITDA should
not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating
income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from
operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Furthermore, other companies
may compute EBITDA differently, and therefore, EBITDA amounts among
companies may not be comparable.
