Sixteen Weeks Ended April 20, 1996
Compared to Sixteen Weeks Ended April 22, 1995
Net sales increased $2.8 million, or 7.9%, to $38.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996, from $35.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995. The increase in net sales came from the nine new restaurants opened
in fiscal year 1995, and three new restaurants opened in the first quarter of
1996. Comparable restaurant sales during the first quarter were flat, but the
Company estimates that over 3.0% of total sales were lost due to severe winter
weather.
Cost of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased from $9.1 million in
the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, to $9.8 million in the corresponding
1996 period. As a percentage of net sales, these costs were 25.5% in the 1995
fiscal period, and 25.6% in the 1996 fiscal period. Although the price of olive
oil, tomatoes, flour, and cheese increased, the Company was able to offset most
of the increase by more efficient operations.
Restaurant operating expenses for the sixteen-week period increased from
$17.3 million in fiscal year 1995, to $19.9 million in fiscal year 1996. As a
percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased from 48.9% during the
sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, to 51.9% during the corresponding period in
1996. The increase was the result of advertising costs of 3.5%, as a percentage
of net sales, that were not present during the first quarter of 1995.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $2.6 million in the
sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, to $2.5 million in the corresponding 1996
period, and decreased, as a percentage of net sales, from 7.5% in the 1995
sixteen-week period, to 6.5% in the 1996 sixteen-week period. This decrease was
the result of attrition at the corporate level, and a reduction in training
costs due to fewer store openings expected this year.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased, as a percentage of net
sales, from 7.8% in the 1995 period, to 7.1% in the 1996 sixteen-week period.
This decrease was attributable to the amortization expense on fewer new
restaurants.
Taxes other than income increased from $1.9 million during the sixteen
weeks ended April 22, 1995, to $2.1 million in the corresponding 1996 period,
due to increases in real property taxes on rented property.
Interest expense increased from $323,000 to $418,000 for the sixteen weeks
of 1995 and 1996, respectively. This increase was attributable to the higher
amount of bank borrowings in the 1996 sixteen-week period.
The effective income tax rate increased from 36.4% for the sixteen weeks
ended April 22, 1995, to 37.5% for the corresponding period ending April 20,
1996.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital
To date, the Company has financed its expansion from operations, bank
borrowing, and private placements and public offerings of equity securities. The
Company does not have significant receivables or inventory and receives trade
credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies.
The Company has a bank line-of-credit in effect until November 30, 1997,
under which it may borrow up to $30.0 million. On November 30, 1997, the Company
will be able to convert the balance, if any, to a term loan maturing on November
30, 2000. The Company pays a fee of 1/4 of 1% on the unused balance, and
interest is calculated using LIBOR plus 1.25%. There are no compensating balance
arrangements or legal restrictions as to the withdrawal of these funds. At April
22, 1995, and April 20, 1996, the amounts outstanding under this bank
line-of-credit were $18.9 and $19.4 million, respectively.
During the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, and April 20, 1996, the
Company's investment in property and equipment was $6.6 million and $4.2
million, respectively. The investments were funded with cash provided by
operations, and with the proceeds of financing activities.
Cash provided by operations amounted to $1.4 million and $3.8 million for
the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, and April 20, 1996, respectively. Cash
from financing activities amounted to $5.0 million for the sixteen-week period
in 1995.
The Company opened three new restaurants in the first sixteen weeks of
1996, and expects to open a total of 8 new restaurants by the end of fiscal year
1996, with an additional five restaurants planned for fiscal year 1997. The
Company expects to expend approximately $13.0 million in fiscal year 1996, and
approximately $10.0 million in fiscal year 1997 to finance expansion. The
Company believes that it will have sufficient working capital and bank
borrowings to finance its expansion plans through the end of fiscal year 1997.
