NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
As of April 1, 2007, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (the “Company”) owned and operated 153 full service restaurants throughout the United States under the name of “P.F. Chang’s China Bistro.” The Company also owned and operated 116 limited service restaurants under the name of “Pei Wei Asian Diner” and one full service restaurant under the name “Taneko Japanese Tavern.”
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 1, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 30, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to certain employees and directors with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company also grants restricted stock with a fair value determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. On January 2, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), Share-Based Payment, requiring the measurement and recognition of all share-based compensation under the fair value method. The Company implemented SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which does not result in the restatement of previously issued financial statements.
The fair value for options granted during the three months ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    Three Months Ended
    April 1, 2007   April 2, 2006
Weighted average risk-free interest rate
    4.7 %     3.6 %
Expected life of options (years)
    3.0       5.0  
Expected stock volatility
    31.2 %     41.6 %
Expected dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %
The estimated fair value of share-based compensation plans and other options is amortized to expense primarily over the vesting period. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s share-based employee compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover

5


Table of Contents

approach and the iron curtain approach, as those terms are defined in SAB 108. The rollover approach quantifies misstatements based on the amount of the error in the current year financial statement, whereas the iron curtain approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatement’s year(s) of origin. Financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. If a Company determines that an adjustment to prior year financial statements is required upon adoption of SAB 108 and does not elect to restate its previous financial statements, then it must recognize the cumulative effect of applying SAB 108 in fiscal 2006 beginning balances of the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the fiscal 2006 opening balance in retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard expands required disclosures about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize the impact of a tax position in the Company’s financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s adoption of FIN 48.
In March 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force issued Issue 06-3 (“EITF 06-3”), How Sales Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement. A tentative consensus was reached that a company should disclose its accounting policy (i.e., gross or net presentation) regarding presentation of taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3. If taxes are significant and reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amount of such taxes for each period for which an income statement is presented. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company presents sales tax on a net basis in its consolidated financial statements.
2. Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities, which includes options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plans. For the three months ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, 1.6 million and 0.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s shares were excluded from the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect.
3. Intangible Assets
     Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
                 
    April 1,     December 31,  
    2007     2006  
Intangible assets, gross
  $ 19,209     $ 14,343  
Accumulated amortization
    (2,020 )     (1,699 )
 
           
Intangible assets, net
  $ 17,189     $ 12,644  
 
           
Intangible assets as of April 1, 2007 include additional intangible assets recognized upon the Company’s buyout of minority partner interests when the Company’s purchase price exceeded the imputed fair value at the time of the original investment.

5. Credit Facility
On August 4, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial lending institution which allows for borrowings of up to $50.0 million at an interest rate of 50 basis points over the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The revolving credit facility expires on August 4, 2011 and contains certain restrictions and conditions which require the Company to maintain a maximum adjusted leverage ratio of 2.25:1 and a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1. The Company was in compliance with these restrictions and conditions as of April 1, 2007. The Company had borrowings of $12.0 million outstanding under the credit facility as of April 1, 2007 and $9.7 million committed for the issuance of a letter of credit, which is required by insurance companies for the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under the line of credit were $28.3 million as of April 1, 2007.
6. Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable vesting periods, for new share-based awards and for share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” on January 2, 2006. At April 1, 2007, non-vested share-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, totaled $19.4 million for stock options and $2.2 million for restricted stock. This expense will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period which is approximately 2.6 years for stock options and 2.3 years for restricted stock.
Reported share-based compensation is classified as follows (in thousands):
                 
    Three Months     Three Months

Total share-based compensation, net of tax
  $ 1,645     $ 1,349  
 
           
7. Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation, the Company recognized no material adjustment to the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits that existed as of December 31, 2006. At the date of adoption, the Company had $2.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of April 1, 2007, the Company had $1.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of both the date of adoption and April 1, 2007, the Company had accrued $0.2 million of interest and $0.1 million of penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is engaged in various legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also currently under examination by various taxing authorities for calendar years 2003 through 2005. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Some of the statements in this section contain forward–looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as may, will, should, expect, plan, intend, forecast, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential, continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this section involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and situations that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Factors that might cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements may include the matters listed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A (a detailed description of which can be found under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed form 10-K) and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, failure of our existing or new restaurants to achieve predicted results, the inability to develop and construct our restaurants within projected budgets and time periods and our ability to successfully expand our operations. Because we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We own and operate three restaurant concepts in the Asian niche: P.F. Chang’s China Bistro (“Bistro”), Pei Wei Asian Diner (“Pei Wei”) and Taneko Japanese Tavern (“Taneko”).
Bistro
As of April 1, 2007, we owned and operated 153 full service Bistro restaurants that feature a blend of high quality, traditional Chinese cuisine with attentive service and American hospitality in a sophisticated, contemporary bistro setting. P.F. Chang’s was formed in early 1996 with the acquisition of the four original Bistro restaurants and the hiring of an experienced management team. Utilizing a partnership management philosophy, we embarked on a strategic expansion of the concept targeted at major metropolitan areas throughout the United States. We own and operate all of our restaurants with the exception of a Bistro restaurant located in Honolulu, Hawaii which opened in September 2006 under a joint venture arrangement in which we own a minority interest.
We intend to open 19 new Bistros during fiscal 2007, one of which was open by the end of the first quarter of 2007. We will continue our development in existing markets and plan to enter eight new markets in 2007. We have signed lease agreements for all of our development planned for fiscal 2007. We intend to continue to develop Bistro restaurants that typically range in size from 6,000 to 7,500 square feet, and that require, on average, a total cash investment of approximately $2.8 million to $3.0 million and total invested capital of approximately $4.0 million per restaurant (net of estimated landlord reimbursements). This total capitalized investment includes the capitalized lease value of the property, which can vary greatly depending on the specific trade area. Preopening expenses are expected to average approximately $415,000 per restaurant during 2007, which includes approximately $50,000 per restaurant in preopening rent.
Pei Wei
As of April 1, 2007, we owned and operated 116 quick casual Pei Wei restaurants that offer a modest menu of freshly prepared, high quality Asian cuisine served in a relaxed, warm environment offering attentive counter service and take-out flexibility. Pei Wei opened its first unit in July 2000 in the Phoenix, Arizona area and has expanded significantly since then.
We intend to open 37 Pei Wei restaurants in 2007, nine of which were open by the end of the first quarter of 2007. We will continue our development in existing markets and plan to enter nine new markets in 2007. We have signed lease agreements for all of our development planned for fiscal 2007. Our Pei Wei restaurants are generally 2,800 to 3,400 square feet in size and require an average total cash investment of approximately $750,000 to $850,000 and total invested capital of approximately $1.4 million per restaurant (net of estimated landlord reimbursements). Preopening expenses are expected to average approximately $140,000 per restaurant during 2007, which includes approximately $27,000 per restaurant in preopening rent.

Taneko
On October 2, 2006, we opened our first Taneko restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, featuring natural, organic and seasonal ingredients highlighting the diverse cooking styles of Japan. Inspired by izakayas, or local taverns, Taneko offers an extensive variety of food and beverages in a comfortable atmosphere.
Change in Partnership Structure
We utilize a partnership philosophy to facilitate the development, leadership and operation of our restaurants. Historically, this philosophy was embodied in a traditional legal partnership structure, which included capital contributions from our partners in exchange for an ownership stake in the profits and losses of our restaurants. Effective January 2007 for new store openings, the Bistro began employing a different structure to achieve the same goal. At the restaurant level, our Operating and Culinary Partners (still “partners” in the philosophical, but not legal sense) no longer have a direct ownership stake in the profits and losses of a restaurant, but are instead eligible to receive monthly incentive payments based upon the profitability of the restaurant, as well as participate in an incentive program that rewards long-term improvements in the operating performance of the restaurant. As a result of these changes, awards made to the individuals participating in the new plan are classified as compensation rather than as minority interest expense. Accordingly, compensation expense for our Operating and Culinary Partners is reflected in the consolidated income statement as Labor Expense. Additionally, a similar structure exists for our Market Partners and Regional Vice Presidents, with related compensation reflected as General and Administrative Expense in the consolidated income statement. Partner investment expense is no longer recognized for new Bistro restaurant openings beginning in 2007 as a result of this change. Additionally, many existing legal partners have requested an early buyout of their partnership interest as a result of their desire to participate in the new plan, the financial impact of which is discussed under “Partner Investment Expense” in Results of Operations.
The Pei Wei partnership structure is not affected by the changes at the Bistro and the traditional partnership structure remains in effect for new Pei Wei restaurant openings during 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgment. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously reported in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly information for the three-month periods ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, respectively, expressed as a percentage of revenues, except for revenues, which are expressed in thousands. This quarterly information has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. P.F. Chang’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, and operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.
One of the factors that has in the past caused fluctuations in our operating results is preopening expenses. Historically, we have experienced variability in the amount and percentage of revenues attributable to preopening expenses. We typically incur the most significant portion of preopening expenses associated with a given restaurant within the two months immediately preceding, and the month of, the opening of the restaurant. Additionally, there may be variability in the amount and percentage of revenues attributable to partner investment expense as a result of the timing of opening new Pei Wei restaurants and the timing of purchasing partner interests. Partner investment expense generally represents the difference between the imputed fair value of our partners’ ownership interests and our partners’ cash capital contribution for these interests.
In addition, our experience to date has been that labor and operating costs associated with a newly opened restaurant for the first several months of operation are materially greater than what can be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of revenues. Accordingly, the volume and timing of new restaurant openings has had and is expected to continue to have, a meaningful impact on preopening expenses, labor, operating and partner investment costs until such time as a larger base of restaurants in operation mitigates such impact.

Revenues
Our revenues are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. Each segment contributed to current year revenue growth as follows:
    Bistro: The increase in revenues was attributable to revenues of $25.4 million generated by 20 new Bistro restaurants that opened during the first quarter of 2007 and the last three quarters of 2006, partially offset by a $5.3 million net decrease in revenues for restaurants that opened prior to the first quarter of 2006. An effective price increase of approximately 2-3% impacted all restaurants and also contributed to the increase in revenues. Such increases were partially offset by a decline in overall guest traffic during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
    Pei Wei: The increase in revenues was attributable to revenues of $13.9 million generated by 35 new Pei Wei restaurants that opened during the first quarter of 2007 and the last three quarters of 2006 and a $1.0 million increase in revenues for restaurants that opened prior to the first quarter of 2006. An effective price increase of approximately 2-3% impacted all restaurants and also contributed to the increase in revenues. Such increases were partially offset by a slight decline in overall guest traffic during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
In addition to the revenues earned by Bistro and Pei Wei, consolidated revenues include $0.7 million of revenues generated by our Taneko concept.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of food and beverages. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues at the Bistro decreased primarily due to favorable scallop pricing partially offset by higher produce costs resulting from winter freezes in the Western U.S. and Mexico.
 
    Pei Wei: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues at Pei Wei was consistent with the prior year primarily due to slightly favorable pork pricing offset by higher produce costs resulting from winter freezes in the Western U.S. and Mexico.

Table of Contents

Labor
Labor expenses consist of restaurant management salaries, hourly staff payroll costs, other payroll-related items and imputed partner bonus expense. Imputed partner bonus expense represents the portion of restaurant level operating results that are allocable to minority partners, but are presented as bonus expense for accounting purposes. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues at the Bistro were unchanged as the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities resulting from lower than anticipated claims activity was offset by higher management incentive costs primarily resulting from the 2007 change in the Bistro partnership structure.
 
    Pei Wei: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues at Pei Wei increased primarily due to wage rate pressure in our culinary positions and increased management incentive costs partially offset by the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities.
Operating
Operating expenses consist primarily of various restaurant-level costs such as repairs and maintenance, utilities and marketing, which are generally variable and fluctuate with revenues. Our experience to date has been that operating costs during the first four to nine months of a newly opened restaurant are materially greater than what can be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of revenues. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues at our Bistro restaurants increased primarily due to higher maintenance costs and menu printing costs related to our new Yunnan menu and new menu format introduced during the first quarter of 2007.
 
    Pei Wei: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues at our Pei Wei restaurants decreased slightly primarily due to lower take-out and disposable supplies costs partially offset by higher advertising costs and, to a lesser extent, increased maintenance expenses.
Occupancy
Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of rent, common area maintenance charges, property insurance and property taxes. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues at the Bistro increased slightly primarily due to higher general liability insurance costs for 2007 combined with decreased leverage resulting from lower average weekly sales.
 
    Pei Wei: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues at Pei Wei increased slightly primarily due to higher general liability insurance costs for 2007.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are comprised of expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support restaurant development and operations and provide infrastructure to support future growth, including management and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, legal and professional fees, technology and market research. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues at the Bistro increased primarily due to higher management incentive accruals, including the impact of the 2007 change in the Bistro partnership structure.
 
    Pei Wei: General and administrative costs at Pei Wei increased primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense related to the addition of development and operating partners, higher management incentive accruals, increased health insurance costs and higher share-based compensation expense. As a percentage of revenues, Pei Wei’s general and administrative costs decreased compared to the prior year due to improved leveraging of general and administrative costs resulting from additional store openings.

13


Table of Contents

    Shared Services and Other: General and administrative costs for Shared Services and Other increased $1.9 million principally due to higher compensation and benefits expense primarily related to the addition of corporate management personnel, higher management incentive accruals and, to a lesser extent, increased share-based compensation expense and higher legal, recruiting and marketing costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, gains and losses on disposal of assets and the amortization of intangible assets and non-transferable liquor license fees. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization on restaurants opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2006 and during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in amortization of intangible and other assets. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased due to higher average capital expenditures for new restaurants and decreased leverage resulting from lower average weekly sales.
 
    Pei Wei: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization on restaurants opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2006 and during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased due to higher average capital expenditures for new restaurants and decreased leverage resulting from lower average weekly sales.
Preopening Expense
Preopening expenses, which are expensed as incurred, consist of expenses incurred prior to opening a new restaurant and are comprised principally of manager salaries and relocation costs, employee payroll and related training costs. Preopening expenses also include straight-line rent for the period between the possession date of leased premises and the restaurant opening date. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Preopening expense increased primarily due to the timing of costs related to upcoming second and third quarter new restaurant openings compared to prior year.
 
    Pei Wei: Preopening expense increased primarily due to the impact of opening nine new Pei Wei restaurants during the first quarter of 2007 compared to four new Pei Wei restaurants during the first quarter of 2006, partially offset by a slight decrease in the average per location preopening costs incurred during the current year.
Partner Investment Expense
Partner investment expense represents the difference between the imputed fair value of our legal partners’ ownership interests at the time the partners invest in their restaurants and our partners’ cash contributions for those ownership interests. Additionally, for those partners who are bought out prior to the restaurant reaching maturity (typically after five years of operation), partner investment expense includes a reversal of previously recognized expense for the difference between the fair value of the partner’s interest at inception date and the fair value at the date of repurchase, to the extent that the former is greater.
Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Partner investment expense at the Bistro decreased due to the change in partnership structure discussed above, which led to a significant increase in early buyouts of minority partner interests during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. These early buyouts resulted in a $1.9 million reversal of previously recognized partner investment expense due to the fair value of the partner’s interest at inception date exceeding the fair value of the partner’s interest at repurchase date. Additionally, as a result of the change in partnership structure, partner investment expense is no longer recognized at the time a new restaurant opens.
 
    Pei Wei: Partner investment expense at Pei Wei increased primarily due to the impact of opening nine new restaurants during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to opening four new restaurants during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, as well as expense reductions related to minority partner buyouts in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by the impact of a lower imputed fair value of partnership interests in new Pei Wei restaurants in 2007.

Table of Contents

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Consolidated interest and other income (expense), net decreased primarily due to lower interest income resulting from the sale of interest-bearing securities to finance our share repurchase program, which commenced during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 (see “Share Repurchase Program” in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further detail).
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the portion of our net earnings which is attributable to the collective ownership interests of our minority investors. We employ a partnership management structure whereby we have entered into a series of partnership agreements with our regional managers, certain of our general managers, and certain of our executive chefs. Each segment contributed as follows:
    Bistro: Minority interest as a percentage of revenues at the Bistro decreased due to the impact of partner buyouts occurring during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which resulted in fewer minority partners compared to the prior year.
 
    Pei Wei: Minority interest as a percentage of revenues at Pei Wei decreased slightly due to the impact of lower restaurant net income.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 26.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 29.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Disregarding the impact of reserve adjustments in both periods, our effective tax rate was 29.0% and 31.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 differed from the expected provision for income taxes, which is derived by applying the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of FICA tip credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations, though we also borrow under our credit facility from time to time. Historically, our need for capital resources has primarily resulted from our construction of new restaurants. In fiscal 2006, our need for capital resources was also driven by the repurchase of our common stock and Pei Wei minority interests.
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):
                 
    2007     2006  
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 21,012     $ 17,103  
Net cash used in investing activities
    (34,781 )     (15,847 )
Net cash used in financing activities
    3,161       (10,758 )
 
           
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (10,608 )   $ (9,502 )
 
           
Operating Activities
We have funded our capital requirements since inception through sales of equity securities, debt financing and cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.0 million and $17.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities exceeded the net income for the periods due principally to the effect of depreciation and amortization, an increase in operating liabilities and the effect of minority interest, share-based compensation and partnership-related non-cash expenses.

Investing Activities
We use cash primarily to fund the development and construction of new restaurants. Net cash used in investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 was $34.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively, and primarily related to capital expenditures of $28.7 million and $17.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures during the current period increased compared to the prior year primarily due to a higher number of new restaurant openings. Investment activities also include purchases of minority interests of $5.8 million and $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006. We purchased 110 partnership interests during the first quarter of 2007. This represents an increase in the historical rate of purchases resulting primarily from the implementation of our new Bistro partnership structure at the beginning of the current year and the related desire of many of our existing partners to sell their partnership interest and instead participate in our new management incentive compensation programs. Additionally, net sales of short-term investments totaling $2.1 million were included for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
We intend to open 19 new Bistro restaurants and 37 new Pei Wei restaurants in fiscal year 2007. We expect that our planned future Bistro restaurants will require, on average, a total cash investment per restaurant of approximately $2.8 million to $3.0 million. We expect to spend approximately $365,000 per restaurant for preopening costs, which excludes non-cash rent expense of approximately $50,000. Total cash investment per each Pei Wei restaurant is expected to average $750,000 to $850,000 and we expect to spend $113,000 per restaurant for preopening costs, which excludes non-cash rent expense of approximately $27,000. The anticipated total cash investment per restaurant is based on recent historical averages which have increased over prior years due to increases in construction related costs of steel, aluminum and lumber. We expect total capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 to approximate $120.0 million to $125.0 million.
Financing Activities
Financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 included proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchases, distributions to minority partners, debt repayments and the tax benefit from disqualifying stock option dispositions. Additionally, financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 included $7.3 million related to the purchase of Pei Wei minority interests.
Future capital requirements
Our capital requirements, including development costs related to the opening of additional restaurants, have been and will continue to be significant. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the pace of expansion, real estate markets, site locations, the nature of the arrangements negotiated with landlords and any potential repurchases of our common stock. We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our current cash reserves and available credit lines, will be sufficient to fund our projected capital requirements through 2007 and the foreseeable future. In the unlikely event that additional capital is required, we may seek to raise such capital through public or private equity or debt financing. Future capital funding transactions may result in dilution to current shareholders. We can not assure you that such capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Credit Facility
On August 4, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement with a commercial lending institution which allows for borrowings up to $50.0 million at an interest rate of 50 basis points over the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The revolving credit facility expires on August 4, 2011 and contains certain restrictions and conditions which require us to maintain a maximum adjusted leverage ratio of 2.25:1 and a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1. We were in compliance with these restrictions and conditions as of April 1, 2007. We had borrowings of $12.0 million outstanding under the credit facility as of April 1, 2007 and $9.7 million committed for the issuance of a letter of credit which is required by insurance companies for our workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under the line of credit were $28.3 million as of April 1, 2007.
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from time to time in the open market or in private at prevailing market prices over the next year. We have funded our share repurchases to date primarily with cash on hand, however, we have also negotiated a $50.0 million revolving credit facility referenced above to provide additional liquidity and offer flexibility in funding our share repurchases. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our

common stock for $46.4 million during fiscal 2006. As of April 1, 2007, $3.6 million was still available under our current share repurchase authorization.
Partnership Activities
As of April 1, 2007, there were 162 partners within the P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. partnership system. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we had the opportunity to purchase 13 partner interests which had reached the five-year threshold period during the quarter, as well as 107 additional partner interests which had either (i) reached the end of their initial five-year term in prior years, (ii) related to partners who left the Company prior to the initial five-year term or (iii) related to partners who elected an early repurchase of their minority interest by the Company due to the opportunity to participate in the new Bistro management incentive compensation program. We purchased 110 of these interests in their entirety for a total of approximately $11.3 million. Of the total purchase price, approximately $5.8 million was paid in cash, while the remaining balance has been recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheet at April 1, 2007.
During the remainder of fiscal 2007, we will have the opportunity to purchase 28 additional partnership interests which will achieve their five-year anniversary. If all of these interests are purchased, the total purchase price would approximate $2.5 million to $3.5 million based upon the estimated fair value of the respective interests at April 1, 2007. If we purchase all of these interests in 2007, the estimated liquidity impact would be a reduction of cash of approximately $0.8 million to $1.2 million during the year.
Minority Interest Purchase
On January 9, 2006, we purchased the 13 percent minority interest held by key employees in our Pei Wei Asian Diner subsidiary for a value of approximately $22.8 million, thereby making Pei Wei Asian Diner a wholly owned subsidiary. The purchase price consideration consisted of $7.3 million in cash and the conversion of outstanding options to purchase 98,100 shares of Pei Wei Asian Diner, Inc. common stock into options to purchase 306,782 shares of P.F. Chang’s common stock. There was no additional intrinsic value associated with the converted options to purchase P.F. Chang’s common stock for the key employees. The transaction did not involve any changes in management or key positions in Pei Wei.
New Accounting Standards
See Recent Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of new accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily from fluctuations in interest rates on our short-term investments and revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility allows for borrowings up to $50.0 million bearing interest at variables rates of LIBOR plus 0.50%. We held no short-term investments at December 31, 2006. We had borrowings of $12.0 million outstanding under our credit facility and promissory notes totaling $8.6 million at April 1, 2007. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During the last fiscal quarter, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting.
