VI Acquisition Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

January 26, 2006

(Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

VI Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “VI Acquisition”), a Delaware corporation, was organized in June 2003 by Wind Point Partners and other co-investors. VICORP Restaurants, Inc. (“VICORP”) and its subsidiaries are wholly-owned by VI Acquisition Corp. As a holding company, VI Acquisition Corp. does not have any independent operations and consequently its consolidated statements of operations are substantially equivalent to those of VICORP Restaurants, Inc.

The Company operates family style restaurants under the brand names “Bakers Square” and “Village Inn,” and franchises restaurants under the Village Inn brand name. At January 26, 2006, the Company operated 295 Company-owned restaurants in 17 states. Of the Company-owned restaurants, 151 are Bakers Square restaurants and 144 are Village Inn restaurants, with an additional 96 franchised Village Inn restaurants in 19 states. The Company-owned and franchised restaurants are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, the Rocky Mountain region, and the upper Midwest. In addition, the Company operates three pie manufacturing facilities located in Santa Fe Springs, California; Oak Forest, Illinois; and Chaska, Minnesota.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. However, operating results for the 84-day period ended January 26, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2006. Additionally, operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year include increased sales due to the holidays in November and December. The consolidated balance sheet at November 3, 2005, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended November 3, 2005 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock-Based Compensation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” defines a fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation and encourages, but does not require, all entities to adopt that method of accounting. Entities electing not to adopt the fair value method of accounting must make pro forma disclosures of net income as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value method and instead has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations (however, refer to the discussion in the following paragraph related to the Company’s pending adoption of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”). Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense related to stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. This expense is recognized over the vesting period of the option or at the time of grant if the options immediately vest. As a result of the minimal number of stock options outstanding during all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the pro forma effects of applying the fair value method to outstanding options over their respective vesting periods had an immaterial effect on net income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.”  SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material and requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the “so abnormal” criterion outlined in ARB No. 43.  SFAS No. 151 also introduces the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company implemented SFAS No. 151 and because we did not have abnormal costs, the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows during the quarter ended January 26, 2006.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

7

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures for either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

The Company will use the modified prospective method when it adopts.  SFAS 123(R) is effective for non-public filers, with the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For purposes of this Statement, the Company is considered a non-public filer because it is an entity that has only debt securities trading in a public market. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company had accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s sale transaction in June 2003, all options became immediately vested, thus the Company did not recognize any compensation expense. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will only impact the Company’s results of operations if the Company grants share-based payments subsequent to November 2, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154)”. SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. SFAS 154 also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.  SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

8

In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” FSP No. FAS 13-1 requires rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. FSP No. FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The transition provisions of FSP No. FAS 13-1 permit early adoption and retrospective application of the guidance. The Company historically capitalized rental costs incurred during a construction period.  The Company implemented FSP No. FAS 13-1 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and it did not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company capitalized $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and expensed $0.1 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2006.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in fiscal 2006. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s consolidated net income.

Fiscal Periods

The Company’s fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks divided into four fiscal quarters of 12 or 13, 12, 12, and 16 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 2006 consisted of 12 weeks, or 84 days and ended on January 26, 2006. The first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted of 13 weeks, or 91 days and ended on January 27, 2005.

2. Inventories

4. Debt

On April 14, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $126.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10½% senior unsecured notes maturing on April 15, 2011. The notes were issued at a discounted price of 98.791% of face value, resulting in net proceeds before transaction expenses of $125.0 million. The senior unsecured notes were issued by VICORP Restaurants, Inc. and are guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc. In August 2004, the Company’s registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-4 was declared effective and the senior unsecured notes and guarantees were exchanged for registered notes and guarantees having substantially the same terms and evidencing the same indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 until maturity.

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 14, 2004 consisting of a $15.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $15.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. As of January 26, 2006, the Company had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.4 million and had no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. Interest on both the term loan and revolving credit facility are payable on the first of each month. The senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 1.2 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) minus the original amount of the new senior secured term loan. Under this formula, as of January 26, 2006, the Company had the ability to borrow the full $30.0 million, less the amount of outstanding letters of credit and borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility, or $22.6 million.

Borrowings under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan of the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates tied to either the base rate of the agent bank under the credit agreement or LIBOR rates for a period of one, two or three months, in each case plus a margin that will adjust based on the ratio of our Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the agreement. At January 26, 2006, the interest rate was 7.3% for term loan borrowings. Both facilities are secured by a lien on all of the assets of VICORP Restaurants, Inc., and guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. In addition, the guarantees also are secured by the pledge of all of the outstanding

10

capital stock of VICORP Restaurants, Inc. by VI Acquisition Corp. The term loan does not require periodic principal payments, but requires mandatory repayments under certain events, including proceeds from sale of assets, issuance of equity and issuance of new indebtedness. Both facilities mature on April 14, 2009.

The Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 10½% Senior Unsecured Notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions,  the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries, to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, as defined, or issue preferred stock, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements governing our indebtedness, change the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries and enter into hedging agreements. In addition, the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to maintain or comply with a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum capital expenditures limitation. As of January 26, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these requirements.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance reserves

The Company retains a significant portion of certain insurable risks primarily in the medical, dental, workers’ compensation and general liability areas. The Company had an insurance reserve liability of $9.9 million and $9.3 million recorded as of January 26, 2006 and November 3, 2005, respectively. Traditional insurance coverage is obtained for catastrophic losses. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company’s estimates of liabilities for claims incurred, including those not yet reported. Such estimates utilize prior company history and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry. As of January 26, 2006, the Company had placed letters of credit totaling approximately $7.3 million, associated with its insurance programs.

Litigation and tax contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company has been involved in various lawsuits and claims arising from the conduct of its business. Such lawsuits typically involve claims from customers and others related to operational issues and complaints and allegations from former and current employees. These matters are believed to be common for restaurant businesses. Additionally, the Company has been party to various assessments of taxes, penalties and interest from federal and state agencies. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Guarantees and commitments

VICORP guaranteed certain leases for restaurant properties sold in 1986 and restaurant leases of certain franchisees. Minimum future rental payments remaining under these leases were approximately $2.2 million as of January 26, 2006. The Company has not made any payments due to default under these agreements, and management believes the guarantee has no fair value.

11

Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contractual obligations, primarily for restaurants under construction, amounted to approximately $12.4 million as of January 26, 2006.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters such as title to assets. The Company also has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company depends upon the other party making an adverse claim according to the procedures outlined in the particular agreement, which procedures generally allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. In certain instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for payments that we make.

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnifications in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company does accrue losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when the obligation is both probable and reasonably estimable.

6. Related Party Transactions

On June 14, 2003, the Company entered into a professional services agreement with Wind Point Investors, IV, L.P. and Wind Point Investors V, L.P., whereby certain management, financial and other consulting services would be provided to the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays an annual fee to both partnerships in the aggregate amount of $850,000. Management fees expensed under this agreement totaled approximately $196,000 during each of the 84 day and 91 day periods ended January 26, 2006 and January 27, 2005. Management fees paid to Wind Point Partners, IV, L.P. and Wind Point Investors V, L.P. under this agreement totaled $0, and $213,000 during the 84 day and 91 day periods ended January 26, 2006 and January 27, 2005, respectively.

7. Asset impairments, asset disposals and related costs

During the quarter ended January 26, 2006, the Company recorded a $0.3 million pretax impairment charge related to the writedown of assets for 3 restaurant locations. Management assessed various factors relevant to the assets, including projected negative cash flows, and concluded the historical performance trends at the operating locations were unlikely to improve materially. Therefore an impairment charge was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair market value, which was estimated based upon management’s historical experience associated with such assets. There was no impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

12

As of January 26, 2006 and November 3, 2005, the Company had recorded a reserve for closed/subleased restaurant locations of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily representing estimated future minimum lease payments related to the restaurant facilities, net of expected sublease income. Of the seven restaurant locations to which this reserve relates, four of such locations were subleased as of January 26, 2006.

8. Deemed landlord financing liability

For many of our build-to-suit projects, we are considered the owner of the project during the construction period in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 97-10, “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction,” because we are deemed to have substantially all of the construction period risk.  At the end of these construction projects, a sale-leaseback could be deemed to occur in certain situations and the seller-lessee would record the sale, remove all property and related liabilities from its balance sheet and recognize gain or loss from the sale, which is generally deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the term of the lease.  However, many of our real estate transactions and build-to-suit projects have not qualified for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor, which results in the transaction being recorded under the financing method.  Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life, and the proceeds from the transaction are recorded as a financing liability.  A portion of lease payments are applied as payments of deemed principal and imputed interest.

9. Acquisitions

The Company purchased the assets of four restaurants during the first quarter from a franchisee in Oklahoma for $650,000. The Company also plans to purchase one additional restaurant from the same franchisee by the end of March 2006. The impact of this transaction was immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

10. Stock Repurchase

In January 2006 the Company agreed to repurchase shares of our common stock and preferred stock that had been previously acquired by former officers. The aggregate purchase price paid to the former officers was approximately $745,000.

Company Profile

VI Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we”, “us” and “our”) operate family-dining restaurants under two well-recognized brands, Village Inn and Bakers Square. Our Company, founded in 1958, had 391 restaurants in 25 states as of January 26, 2006, consisting of 295 Company-operated restaurants and 96 franchised restaurants. We also produce premium pies that we serve in our restaurants or sell to third parties at three strategically located facilities.

The following table sets forth the changes to the number of Company-operated and franchised restaurants for the periods presented below.

Management Overview

Our restaurant revenues are affected by restaurant openings and closings and same unit sales performance. Same unit sales is a measure of the percentage increase or decrease of the sales of units open at least 18 months relative to the same period in the prior year. We do not use new restaurants in our calculation of same unit sales until they are open for 18 months in order to allow a new restaurant’s operations and sales time to stabilize and provide more meaningful results. Same unit sales is an important indicator within the restaurant industry because small changes in same unit sales can have a proportionally higher impact on operating margins because of the high degree of fixed costs associated with operating restaurants.

15

Like much of the restaurant industry, we view same unit sales as a key performance metric, at the individual unit level, within regions, across each chain and throughout our Company. With our field-level and corporate information systems, we monitor same unit sales on a daily, weekly and four-week period basis from the chain level down to the individual unit level. The primary drivers of same unit sales performance are changes in the average per-person check and changes in the number of customers, or customer count. Average check performance is primarily affected by menu price increases and changes in the purchasing habits of our customers. We also monitor entrée count, exclusive of take-out business, and sales of whole pies, which we believe is indicative of overall customer traffic patterns. To increase average unit sales, we focus marketing and promotional efforts on increasing customer visits and sales of particular products. We also selectively increase prices, but are constrained by the price sensitivity of customers in our market segment and our desire to maintain an attractive price-to-value relationship that is a fundamental characteristic of our concepts. We generally have increased prices in line with increases in the consumer price index, and expect to continue to do so in the future. Same unit sales performance is also affected by other factors, such as food quality, the level and consistency of service within our restaurants, the attractiveness and physical condition of our restaurants, as well as local and national economic factors.

As of January 26, 2006, we had 96 franchised Village Inn restaurants in nineteen states, operated by 25 franchisees which operate one to eleven restaurants each. Although we may increase franchise revenues by increasing the number of franchised Village Inn restaurants, we expect that our franchise revenues will decline as a percentage of our total revenue as we emphasize growth in the number of Company-operated units.

In addition to unit sales, the other major factor affecting the performance of our restaurants is the cost associated with operating our restaurants. We monitor and assess these costs principally as a percentage of a restaurant’s revenues, or on a margin basis. The operating margin of a restaurant is the profitability, expressed as a percentage of sales, of the restaurant after accounting for all direct expenses of operating the restaurant. Another key performance metric is the prime margin, which is the profitability, expressed as a percentage of sales, of the restaurants after deducting the two most significant costs, labor and food. Due to the importance of both labor cost and food cost, we closely monitor prime margin from the chain level down to the individual restaurant. We have systems in place at each restaurant to assist restaurant managers in effectively managing these costs to improve prime margin.

Labor is our largest cost element. The principal drivers of labor cost are wage rates, particularly for the significant number of hourly employees in our restaurants, and the number of labor hours utilized in serving our customers and operating our restaurants, as well as health insurance costs for our employees. Wage rates are largely market driven, with increases to minimum wage rates causing corresponding increases in our pay scales. Differences in minimum wage laws among the various states impact the relative profitability of the restaurants in those states. In May 2005 and again on January 1, 2006, the minimum wage rate for the state of Florida increased.  The state of Oregon’s minimum wage increased in both 2005 and 2006 and the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin increased their minimum wage during the first quarter of 2006.

16

While the wage rates are largely externally determined, labor utilization within our restaurants is more subject to our control and is closely monitored. We seek to staff each restaurant to provide a high level of service to our customers, without incurring more labor cost than is needed. We have included labor scheduling tools in each of our Company-operated restaurants’ back office systems to assist our managers in improving labor utilization. We monitor labor hours actually incurred in relation to sales and customer count on a restaurant- by-restaurant basis throughout each week.

In managing prime margin, we also focus on percentage food cost, which is food cost expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Our food cost is affected by several factors, including market prices for the food ingredients, our effectiveness at controlling waste and proper portioning, and shifts in our customers’ buying habits between low-food-cost and high-food-cost menu items. Our food cost management system within each restaurant measures actual ingredient costs and actual customer product purchases against an “ideal” food cost standard. Ideal food cost is calculated within each restaurant based on the cost of ingredients used, assuming proper portion size, adherence to recipes, limited waste and similar factors. We track variances from ideal food cost within each restaurant and seek to address the causes of such variances, to the extent they are within our control, in order to improve our percentage food cost. In addition, our centralized purchasing department buys a majority of the products used in both Village Inn and Bakers Square (as well as our pie production operations), leveraging the purchasing volumes of our restaurants and our franchisees to obtain favorable prices. We attempt to stabilize potentially volatile prices for certain high-cost ingredients such as chicken, beef, coffee and dairy products for three to twelve month periods by entering into purchase contracts when we believe that this will improve our food cost. We also use “menu engineering” to promote menu items which have a lower percentage food cost. However, we are vulnerable to fluctuations in food costs. Given our customers’ sensitivity to price increases and since we only reprint our full menus every six months, our ability to adjust prices and featured menu items in response to rapidly changing commodity prices is limited.

Although a majority of the pies we produce at our VICOM manufacturing facilities are for Village Inn and Bakers Square, our third-party pie sales have increased over time. The overall results of operations of our pie manufacturing historically have not had, and currently do not have, a material impact on our operating profit. We show the results of operations associated with our VICOM third party sales separately on our income statement. The net costs associated with internal “sales” to our restaurants are included with restaurant food cost. As part of our overall effort to optimize total Company food cost, we have been focusing on various measures to improve the net margins within our pie manufacturing operations, including increasing third-party sales, renegotiating our distribution contracts and rebalancing the production among our three plants to increase efficiency.

Other operating expenses principally include occupancy costs, depreciation, supplies, repairs and maintenance, utility costs, marketing expenses, insurance expenses and workers’ compensation costs. Historically, these costs have increased over time and many are not directly related to the level of sales in our restaurants. We have experienced increases in many of these items throughout the last three fiscal years, particularly utility costs and insurance expenses. In order to maintain our operating performance levels, and to address expected cost increases, we will be required to increase efficiency in restaurant operations and increase sales, although there is no assurance that we will be able to offset future cost increases.

17

Our 2006 first quarter financial results included:

•Decline of revenues in the first quarter by 2.6% to $112.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to seven additional days in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, offset by an average increase of 18 new units. When calculated on a comparative 84 day basis, same store sales decreased by 0.1% from 2005 to 2006.

•Decline in operating income from $10.2 million to $6.6 million in 2006.

•Net income also declined to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $2.3 million in income in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the ordinary course of business, our Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management judgment about the effect of matters that are uncertain.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to recoverability of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and goodwill. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different circumstances or conditions.

We have discussed the development and selection of critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee. The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates:

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. Both our manufactured pie inventories and individual store food inventories are subject to spoilage. We use estimates of future demand as well as historical trend information to schedule manufacturing and ordering. If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand, we could be required to record additional inventory reserves or losses which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.

Property and equipment, build-to-suit projects and assets under deemed landlord financing liability

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets or through the applicable lease expiration, if shorter.  Leasehold improvements added subsequent to the inception of a lease are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes lease renewals, if such renewals are considered reasonably assured.  The useful lives of assets range from 20 to 40 years for buildings and three to ten years for equipment and improvements. Changes in circumstances such as the closing of units within

18

underproductive markets or changes in our capital structure could result in the actual useful lives of these assets differing from our estimates.

For many of our build-to-suit projects, we are considered the owner of the project during the construction period in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 97-10, “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction,” because we are deemed to have substantially all of the construction period risk.  At the end of these construction projects, a sale-leaseback could be deemed to occur in certain situations and the seller-lessee would record the sale, remove all property and related liabilities from its balance sheet and recognize gain or loss from the sale, which is generally deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the term of the lease.  However, many of our real estate transactions and build-to-suit projects have not qualified for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor, which results in the transaction being recorded under the financing method.  Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life, and the proceeds from the transaction are recorded as a financing liability.  A portion of lease payments are applied as payments of deemed principal and imputed interest.

We review long-lived assets, including land, buildings and building improvements, for impairments on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Management evaluates individual restaurants, which are considered to be the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows for impairment. A specific restaurant is deemed to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted future operating cash flows directly relating to that restaurant, including disposal value, if any, is less than the carrying amount of that restaurant. If a restaurant is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the restaurant exceeds its fair value. Management determines fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management estimates the fair value of a restaurant based on either the estimates provided by real estate professionals and/or our past experience in disposing of restaurant properties. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to economic conditions or changes in operating performance.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we recognized a $0.3 million impairment charge primarily related to two restaurants.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we did not recognize an impairment charge.

Leases

We lease a substantial amount of our restaurant properties and one of our pie production plants.  We account for our leases under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and subsequent amendments, which require leases to be evaluated and classified as operating or capitalized leases for financial reporting purposes.  We record the difference between the cash rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability. Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as deferred rent liabilities and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent.  Certain of our leases are accounted for under the financing method as discussed above.

19

In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” FSP No. FAS 13-1 requires rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. FSP No. FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The transition provisions of FSP No. FAS 13-1 permit early adoption and retrospective application of the guidance. The Company historically capitalized rental costs incurred during a construction period.  We implemented FSP No. FAS 13-1 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and it did not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We capitalized $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and expensed $0.1 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2006.

Insurance reserves

We self-insure a significant portion of our employee medical insurance, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance plans.  We had an insurance reserve liability of $9.9 million and $9.3 million recorded as of January 26, 2006 and November 3, 2005, respectively.  We have obtained stop-loss insurance policies to protect from individual losses over specified dollar values ($175,000 for employee health insurance claims, $250,000 workers’ compensation and $150,000 for general liability for fiscal 2005 and 2006). The full extent of certain claims, especially workers’ compensation and general liability claims, may not become fully determined for several years. Therefore, we estimate potential obligations for liabilities that have been incurred but not yet reported based upon historical data, experience, and use of outside consultants. Although management believes that the amounts accrued for these obligations are reasonably estimated, any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with claims made under these plans could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

20

Loss contingencies

We maintain accrued liabilities and reserves relating to certain contingent obligations.  Significant contingencies include those related to litigation.  We account for contingent obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 14 which requires that we assess each contingency to determine estimates of the degree of probability and range of possible settlement.  Contingencies which are deemed to be probable and where the amount of such settlement is reasonably estimable are accrued in our financial statements.  If only a range of loss can be determined, we accrue to the best estimate within that range; if none of the estimates within that range is better than another, we accrue to the low end of the range.

The assessment of loss contingencies is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events.  Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of the accruals and related financial statement disclosure.  The ultimate settlement of loss contingencies may differ significantly from amounts we have accrued in our financial statements.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future income tax consequences of carryforwards and temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets that are deemed unrealizable.  As of January 26, 2006, we had gross deferred tax assets which included $14.4 million of FICA tip credit carryforwards, expiring at various dates through 2026.  Approximately $9.9 million of the FICA tip credit carryforwards were generated prior to our acquisition in June 2003 and are subject to an annual use limitation of $0.7 million.

We must assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, valuation allowances are established. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of future taxable income by each jurisdiction in which we operate, tax planning strategies and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, we are unable to implement certain tax planning strategies or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish an additional valuation allowance which could have a material negative impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be successfully challenged. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate.

21

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.”  SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material and requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the “so abnormal” criterion outlined in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 also introduces the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We implemented SFAS No. 151 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We determined that we did not have abnormal costs during the period and thus had no impact from the implementation.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures for either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

We will use the modified prospective method when we adopt SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) is effective for non-public filers with the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For purposes of this Statement, we are considered a non-public filer because we are an entity that has only debt securities trading in a public market. As permitted by SFAS 123, we had accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Simultaneously with the closing of our sales transaction in June 2003, all options became immediately vested, thus we would not have recognized compensation expense. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will only impact our results of operations if we grant share-based payments subsequent to November 2, 2006, the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year.

22

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154)”. SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. SFAS 154 also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the corre ction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

Factors Affecting Comparability

Our fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks divided into four fiscal quarters of 12 or 13, 12, 12, and 16 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 2006 consisted of 12 weeks, or 84 days and fiscal 2006 will consist of 52 weeks or 364 total days. The first quarter of fiscal 2005 ended January 27, 2005 consisted of 13 weeks, or 91 days, and fiscal 2005 consisted of 53 weeks, or 371 days. The additional week in fiscal 2005 coincides with one of the Company’s higher volume sales weeks for both store level and manufacturing operations.

Seasonality

Our sales fluctuate seasonally and as mentioned previously our quarters do not all have the same time duration. Specifically, our fourth quarter generally has an extra three to four weeks compared to our other quarters of the fiscal year. Historically, our average daily sales are highest in our first quarter (November through January) as a result of holiday pie sales while our fourth quarter (mid-July through October) recorded our lowest average daily sales. Therefore, our quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Factors influencing relative sales variability in addition to those noted above include the frequency and popularity of advertising and promotions, the relative sales level of new and closed locations, holidays and weather.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2006 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2005

Total revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 2.6%, to $112.3 million in fiscal 2006’s first quarter, from $115.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2005. The decrease was primarily due to seven additional days in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, offset by an average increase of 18 new units. When calculated on a comparative 84 day basis, same unit sales decreased 0.1%. For the same comparable period, Village Inn same unit sales increased 0.2% and Bakers Square same unit sales decreased 0.3%. Average guest spending increased 3.0% at Village Inn and 5.6% at Bakers Square in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005 when calculated on the comparative 84 day basis. Third party pie sales decreased $2.6 million, or 27.1%, to $7.0 million primarily due to the additional seven days in fiscal 2005 including a high volume sales week related to holiday pie deliveries and due to lower than expected outside sales during the fiscal 2006 holiday season. Restaurant sales for the additional seven days in fiscal 2005 were $7.5 million and third party pie sales were $1.5 million.

Food costs decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.7%, to $28.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from $28.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Food costs as a percentage of total revenues increased to 25.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 24.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, but as a percentage of restaurant revenues decreased slightly to 27.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 27.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Labor costs increased by $0.7 million, or 2.2%, to $32.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from $32.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Labor costs as a percentage of total revenues increased to 29.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 28.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, but as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 31.6% from 30.8% over these periods. The majority of the increase is related to the increases in minimum wage and the cost of benefits.

Other operating expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 8.3%, to $30.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $27.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Other operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 26.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 24.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, but as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 28.9% from 26.6% over these periods. This increase was primarily driven by increases in utility costs, advertising costs and preopening expenses associated with our new restaurants.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 12.1%, to $5.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $6.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in both legal fees and legal settlement costs. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 5.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 5.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Operating profit decreased by $3.6 million, or 35.3%, to $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from $10.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating profit as a percentage of total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased to 5.9% from 8.9% over the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Interest expense decreased slightly to $6.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from $7.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Interest expense as a percentage of total revenues remained constant over these periods.

25

Provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was a benefit of $0.2 million, compared to a provision of $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate was (138.2%) for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 31.6% in fiscal 2005’s first quarter. The provisions differ from our statutory rate of 39.9% due to general business credits that we earn from FICA taxes paid on employee tips, partially offset by nondeductible amortization related to franchise rights.

Net income decreased by $2.2 million to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 0% from 2.0% over these periods.

Preferred stock dividends and accretion increased by $0.2 million to $2.2 million in fiscal 2006 from $2.0 million for fiscal 2005 as a result of the compounding effect of unpaid preferred stock dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash requirements

Our principal liquidity requirements are to continue to finance our operations, service our debt and fund capital expenditures for maintenance and expansion. Cash flow from operations has historically been sufficient to finance continuing operations and meet normal debt service requirements. However, we are highly leveraged and our ability to repay our debt borrowings at maturity is likely to depend in part on our ability to refinance the debt when it matures, which will be contingent on our continued successful operation of the business as well as other factors beyond our control, including the debt and capital market conditions at that time.

Our cash balance and working capital needs are generally low, as sales are made for cash or through credit cards that are quickly converted to cash, purchases of food and supplies and other operating expenses are generally paid within 30 to 60 days after receipt of invoices and labor costs are paid bi-weekly. The timing of our sales collections and vendor and labor payments are consistent with other companies engaged in the restaurant industry.

For the balance of fiscal 2006, we anticipate capital expenditures and net build-to-suit construction (as discussed below) of approximately $22 million, reflecting further acceleration of our new unit growth. Of this amount, $9 million is expected to be spent on new store construction, $7 million for remodels and the remainder on capital maintenance and other support related projects. We currently expect to open an estimated 33 to 37 new stores in fiscal 2006, including the four franchise units that we acquired and the six units that we opened in the first quarter.

26

In connection with our new restaurant development program, we have entered into build-to-suit development agreements whereby third parties will purchase property, fund the costs to develop new restaurant properties for us and lease the properties to us upon completion. Under these agreements, we generally are responsible for the construction of the restaurant and remitting payments to the contractors on the projects, which are subsequently reimbursed by the property owner. These amounts advanced and subsequently reimbursed are not included in the anticipated capital spending totals above. On January 26, 2006, we had outstanding receivables of $4.6 million relating to these types of agreements. In certain of these agreements, we are obligated to purchase the property in the event that we are unable to complete the construction within a specified time frame, and are also responsible for cost overruns above specified amounts.

Debt and other obligations and liabilities

On April 14, 2004, we completed a private placement of $126.5 aggregate principal amount of 10½% senior unsecured notes maturing on April 15, 2011. The notes were issued at a discounted price of 98.791% of face value, resulting in net proceeds before transaction expenses of $125.0 million. The senior unsecured notes were issued by VICORP Restaurants, Inc. and are guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and our subsidiary Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 10½% senior unsecured notes, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility consisting of a $15.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. On January 26, 2006, we had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.4 million and had no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 1.2 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) minus the original amount of the new senior secured term loan. Under this formula, as of January 26, 2006, we had the ability to borrow the full $30 million, less the amount of outstanding letters of credit, under the senior secured revolving credit facility, or $22.6 million.

Borrowings under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan bear interest at floating rates tied to either the base rate of the agent bank under the credit agreement or LIBOR rates for a period of one, two or three months, in each case plus a margin that will adjust based on the ratio of our Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the new senior secured credit agreement. Both facilities are secured by a lien on all of the assets of VICORP Restaurants, Inc., and guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and our subsidiary Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc., the guarantees also secured by the pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of VICORP Restaurants, Inc. by VI Acquisition Corp. The term loan does not require periodic principal payments, but requires mandatory repayments under certain events, including proceeds from sale of assets, issuance of equity and issuance of new indebtedness. Both facilities mature on April 14, 2009.

27

Our senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing the senior unsecured notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements governing our indebtedness, change the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries and enter into hedging agreements. In addition, our new senior secured credit facility requires us to maintain or comply with a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum capital expenditures limitation. As of January 26, 2006, we were in compliance with these requirements.

We are subject to capital lease obligations related to two of our leased properties. The principal component of our capital lease obligations was $0.2 million as of January 26, 2006. These capital leases have expiration dates ranging from November 2008 to June 2011.

We are the prime lessee under various operating leases for land, building and equipment for Company-operated and franchised restaurants, pie production facilities and locations subleased to non-affiliated first parties. These leases have initial terms ranging from 15 to 30 years and, in most instances, provide for renewal options ranging from five to 20 years. These leases expire at various dates through November 2025.

We have guaranteed certain leases for restaurant properties sold in 1986 and restaurant leases of certain franchisees. Estimated minimum future rental payments remaining under these leases were approximately $2.2 million as of January 26, 2006.

28

As of January 26, 2006, our commitments with respect to the above obligations were as follows (in millions):

	Payments due by periods
	Total		Less than one year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Senior secured credit facility	$	15.0	$	—	$	—	$	15.0	$	—
10-1/2% senior unsecured notes	126.5		—		—		—		126.5
Total notes payable	141.5		—		—		15.0		126.5
Capital lease obligations(1) (2)	0.3		0.1		0.1		0.1		0.0
Operating lease obligations(2)	185.0		19.8		36.2		29.9		99.1
Deemed landlord financing liability (1) (2)	346.0		14.1		28.5		29.3		274.1
Letters of credit (3)	7.4		7.4		—		—		—
Purchase commitments(4)	12.4		12.4		—		—		—
Total	$	692.6	$	53.8	$	64.8	$	74.3	$	499.7

(1)Amounts payable under capital leases and the deemed landlord financing liability represent gross lease payments, including both deemed principal and imputed interest components.

(2)Many of our leases and financing obligations contain provisions that require additional rent payments contingent on sales performance and the payment of common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes. Amounts in this table do not reflect any of these additional amounts.

(3)We have letters of credit outstanding primarily to guarantee performance under insurance contracts. The letters of credit are irrevocable and have one-year renewable terms.

(4)We have commitments under contracts for the purchase of property and equipment. Portions of such contracts not completed at January 26, 2006 as noted in the table above were not reflected as assets or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.

Sources and uses of cash

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (in millions):

	84 Days Ended January 26, 2006			91 Days Ended January 27, 2005
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	13.0		$	12.9
Net cash used in investing activities	(9.9		)	(4.9		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(3.4		)	(0.9		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	(0.3		)	7.1

Operating activities

For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, cash flows from operating activities increased $0.1 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase resulted primarily from increased collections on receivables and reduction of inventory levels, partially offset by payments related to new store construction.

29

Investing activities

Our capital expenditures, excluding amounts related to assets under financing obligations, for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005 were comprised of the following (in millions):

	84 days Ended January 26, 2006		91 days Ended January 27, 2005
New store construction	$	2.1	$	0.8
Existing store remodel and refurbishment	0.4		0.6
Store capital maintenance	1.3		1.0
Pie production facility capital maintenance	0.1		0.2
Corporate related	0.1		0.2
Purchase of property and equipment	$	4.0	$	2.8

In addition to the capital expenditures noted above, we spent $5.2 million for assets under deemed finance liability during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. We opened ten new restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, including the four units acquired from a franchisee and opened three new restaurants in the first quarter fiscal 2005. However, we also had an additional fifteen locations under construction at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Financing activities

We used cash in financing activities of $3.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, consisting principally of the repayment of all $6.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit at November 3, 2005, payments for the repurchase of stock of $0.7, partially offset by $4.1 million of proceeds from deemed landlord financing transactions.

We used cash in financing activities of $0.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, consisting principally of the repayment of all $1.4 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit at October 28, 2004, partially offset by $0.5 million of proceeds from deemed landlord financing transactions.

30

Cash management

We have historically funded the majority of our capital expenditures with cash provided by operating activities. We have on occasion obtained, and may in the future obtain, capitalized lease financing for certain expenditures related to equipment. Our investment requirements for new restaurant development include requirements for acquisition of land, building and equipment. Historically we have either acquired all of these assets for cash, or purchased building and equipment assets for cash and acquired a leasehold interest in land. We have entered into sale-leaseback arrangements for many of the land and building assets that we have purchased in the past, many of which have been accounted for as financing transactions. Since the initial net cash investment required for leased units is significantly lower than for owned properties, we intend to focus on leasing sites for future growth so that we only have to fund the equipment portion of our new restaurant capital costs from our cash flows. We believe that this will reduce our upfront cash requirements associated with new restaurant growth and enable us to increase our return on these investments, although it will result in significant long term obligations under either operating or capital leases.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and changes in food commodity prices.

We are subject to changes in interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility that bear interest at floating rates. As of January 26, 2006, $15.0 million, or 10.7% of our total debt and capitalized lease obligations of $140.6million, bears interest at a floating rate. A hypothetical one hundred basis point increase in interest rates for our variable rate borrowings as of January 26, 2006, would increase our future interest expense by approximately $0.2 million per year. This sensitivity analysis does not factor in potential changes in the level of our variable interest rate borrowings, or any actions that we might take to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Many of the ingredients purchased for use in the products sold to our guests are subject to unpredictable price volatility outside of our control. We try to manage this risk by entering into selective short-term agreements for the products we use most extensively. Also, we believe that our commodity cost risk is diversified as many of our food ingredients are available from several sources and we have the ability to modify recipes or vary our menu items offered. Historically, we have also been able to increase certain menu prices in response to food commodity price increases and believe the opportunity may exist in the future. To compensate for a hypothetical price increase of 10% for food ingredients, we would need to increase prices charged to our guests by an average of approximately 2.7%. We have not historically used financial instruments to hedge our commodity ingredient prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Within the 84-day period prior to the filing date of this report, our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them timely to material information required to be included in our Exchange Act filings. There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake, and that controls can be circumvented by the acts of individuals or groups. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time-to-time, we have been involved in various lawsuits and claims arising from the conduct of our business. Such lawsuits typically involve claims from customers and others related to operational issues and complaints and allegations from former and current employees. These matters are believed to be common for restaurant businesses. We believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Exhibit 10.1

EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 22, 2005, between VI ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ANTHONY CARROLL (“Purchaser”).

Dear Mr. Carroll:

Reference is hereby made to the Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of April 22, 2005 by and between VI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Anthony Carroll (“Carroll”) (such agreement, the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Carroll purchased 284.087 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,134.16 per share (such Preferred Stock purchased by Carroll, the “Carroll Stock”). The purchase price for the Carroll Stock included the dividends that would have accrued on the Carroll Stock had such stock been issued on June 13, 2003, although such dividends had not actually accrued on the Carroll Stock as of the date of purchase.

The Company hereby agrees that upon receipt by the holders of the Preferred Stock of any payment in respect of the dividends accrued on such shares of Preferred Stock from June 13, 2003 through April 22, 2005 (the “Dividend Payment”), whether as a result of the payment of accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock by the Company, the purchase of the Preferred Stock by the Company or a third party, or otherwise, Carroll shall be entitled to receive a payment from the Company equal to the amount that Carroll would have received had Carroll (i) held the shares of Carroll Stock from June 13, 2003 through April 22, 2005, (ii) accrued dividends on such shares of Carroll Stock during such period, and (iii) received a portion of the Dividend Payment in respect of such accrued dividends.

The foregoing payment right shall terminate on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares of Carroll Stock that may be repurchased by the Company prior to the occurrence of the Dividend Payment.

Exhibit 14.1

BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICY

I.Preamble

A reputation of integrity is a priceless asset to any business enterprise. Management of VICORP understand the importance of this fundamental truth. They have worked hard to maintain high standards of business conduct not only because it makes good business sense but because in the final analysis, the way in which a company conducts its business directly reflects the caliber of the business and its people. Current management believes, as did those before us, that VICORP’s directors, officers, and employees have a responsibility to society, to VICORP’s customers and clients, and to each other to continue this tradition.

The following policies, practices, and standards generally represent the standards which have been observed over the years by VICORP’s personnel. It is important that all of us recall and periodically reaffirm our commitment to those policies and standards.

These guidelines, which are applicable to all directors, officers, employees, including contract labor, consultants, and representatives of the Company (“Employees”), deal with matters of ethics and responsible behavior – and are intended to be more than high-sounding words. You are encouraged to study this material and think about its application in the discharge of your daily responsibilities and to act accordingly. A failure to comply with these standards will result in disciplinary action, which may include termination.

II.GENERAL STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT BY VICORP EMPLOYEES – COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS

It is the policy of VICORP that the business of this Company be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws. No VICORP Employee should ever underestimate the importance of this requirement.

However, beyond mere legal compliance, VICORP expects each Employee to observe standards of highest integrity and scrupulous dealings in carrying out his or her day-to-day responsibilities.

VICORP’s management cares how results are obtained. You are expected to deal honestly and forthrightly with fellow Employees and with others. VICORP will not tolerate conduct which achieves results through violations of law or unscrupulous dealings.

Employees must acquaint themselves with the legal requirements that apply to their assigned duties and responsibilities and conduct themselves in full compliance of those requirements. While VICORP will make every effort to provide compliance

1

information to all Employees and to respond to all inquiries, no program, however comprehensive, can anticipate every situation that may present legal and ethical issues. Therefore, each colleague must exercise good judgment, be committed to upholding VICORP’s standards of integrity and business ethics, and must seek guidance when in doubt. VICORP’s Legal Department is available to consult with Employees of VICORP regarding guidelines for complying with specific laws, rules, and regulations.

III.CONFLICT OF INTEREST

All Employees are expected to regulate their activities so as to avoid loss or embarrassment to the Company which might arise from the influence of those activities on business decisions or from disclosure or private use of the Company’s business affairs, information, or plans.

All Employees must identify and avoid any potential conflict of interest with regard to VICORP’s interests. A “conflict of interest” exists whenever an individual’s private interests interfere or conflict in any way (or even appear to interfere or conflict) with the interests of VICORP, or an individual receives improper personal benefits because of his or her position with VICORP.

Conflicts of interest must be brought to the attention of a supervisor, executive management, or the Board of Directors. If there is any question as to whether a situation creates a conflict of interest, the facts surrounding the situation must be brought to the attention of a supervisor or the Employee may consult with VICORP’s Legal Department. All conflicts of interest are prohibited unless the facts surrounding the conflict of interest have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors or other appropriate management.

While it is not possible to develop a detailed set of rules covering all circumstances or serving as a substitute for good judgment, the following are examples of types of activities by an Employee or member of an Employee’s household which might cause conflicts of interest.

A.Ownership in any competing business or in any outside concern which does business with the Company.

B.Rendition of services as a director, manager or consultant, employee or independent contractor to any outside concern which does business with the Company or is in a competing business, except with the Company’s specific prior knowledge and consent.

C.Representation of the Company in any transaction in which the Employee or a related person has a substantial personal interest.

D.Disclosure or use outside of that required specifically for the performance of your job of confidential, special, or inside information of or about the Company.

2

E.Direct or indirect competition with the Company in the purchase or sale of property or property rights or interests.

F.Using employees, materials, equipment, or other assets of the Company for any unauthorized purpose.

G.Involvement in any other business activity, transaction, or relationship which could reasonably be interpreted by others as illegal or unethical conduct or in conflict with the interest of the Company.

Employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. Employees may not take personal advantage of opportunities that properly belong to the Company. Any opportunity that an Employee develops on behalf of the Company, using Company information or using his or her position with the Company, properly belongs to the Company. An Employee may not use the Company’s property or information, or his or her position with the Company, for improper personal gain. Employees may not compete, directly or indirectly, with the Company.

IV.GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

A.Acceptance of Gifts and Entertainment by VICORP Employees. In general, VICORP Employees should not seek or accept any gifts, services, valuable privileges, vacations, or pleasure trips without a business purpose, loans (other than conventional loans from lending institutions), or other favors from any person or business organization that does or seeks to do business with or is a competitor of VICORP. However, Employees may accept common courtesies (such as promotional gifts, business meals, entertainment, and the like) provided:

(1) that the courtesies are consistent with accepted business practices for that division of the Company; and

(2) that the value of such courtesies is not in excess of prudent and reasonable levels.

B.Gifts and Entertainment for Others. VICORP Employees may provide or offer common courtesies (such as promotional items, business meals, entertainment, and the like) to others provided:

(1) that the courtesies served or are intended to serve a proper VICORP business purpose;

(2) the item, meal, or entertainment is consistent with accepted business practices for that division of the Company; and

(3) the value of such courtesies is not in excess of prudent and reasonable levels.

However, VICORP Employees shall not provide or offer gifts, services, entertainment, privileges, or favors of any kind to any government, public agent, or public employee.

3

No Employee shall offer, give, or promise a gift of any kind whatsoever as a means of persuading a person to do or refrain from doing anything relating to a business transaction between the Company and any corporation, partnership, or individual proprietorship. No part of any payment in connection with any commercial transaction shall be paid to persons other than those legally entitled to such amounts or services lawfully rendered or material actually furnished. Money paid directly or indirectly to any vendor or agent in connection with any commercial transaction shall represent no more than the appropriate fee for services rendered by said vendor or agent in the transaction.

C.Use of Common Sense. Ultimately, conduct in this area is best guided by common sense. If public disclosure of all facts and circumstances relating to a gift or entertainment would seem likely to embarrass you or the Company, you should avoid or withdraw immediately from the course of the conduct.

Should you as an Employee have any questions concerning the appropriateness of accepting or offering of gifts and entertainment, direct your inquiries to the Company’s Legal Department.

V.ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL INTEGRITY

The foundation of modern corporate management is a reliable, accurate, and honest system of accounting. A corporation simply cannot be properly managed without fundamental commitment to the integrity of its financial reporting system and its underlying framework of books and records.

In furtherance of this commitment is VICORP’s policy:

A.That Company funds and other assets may only be used for lawful and proper purposes;

B.That all Company funds and other assets must be properly and accurately recorded on the books and records of the Company; and

C.That all transactions involving Company funds and other assets must be accurately reflected on the books and records of the Company and all documentation to support such transactions must clearly and accurately reflect their purpose and nature.

Falsification of Company books and records, misleading book entries, and the maintenance of off-record filings, accounts, or other assets are strictly prohibited.

It shall be the responsibility of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Controller to use their best efforts to ensure that the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are at all times fairly and accurately reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These officers shall maintain books and records and a system of financial reporting controls that ensures fair and accurate reporting of financial information and, together with the Chief Executive Officer, will apply these systems and direct their own actions at all times in a manner that results in a fair and honest reporting of the Company’s financial results and will ensure that the

4

principles of fair and honest financial reporting and accountability are adhered to throughout the Company.

If any Employee has concerns or complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters of the Company, he or she must submit those concerns or complaints to a supervisor, a member of senior management, or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Communications to the Audit Committee may be addressed to its Chairman. The Audit Committee will keep concerns and complaints brought to its attention confidential subject to its duties arising under applicable law, regulations, and legal proceedings.

VI.POLITICAL ACTIVITY

No representative of the Company may make any contribution or agreement to contribute any money, property, or services of any officer or employee at Company expense to any political candidate, party, organization, committee, or individual or for any other political purpose whatsoever unless authorized. Authorization must be received in advance of any proposed activity and must be in writing from the Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Attorney of the Company and will be granted only for activities in those states where such contributions and activities are legal. Under Federal law, corporate facilities or other assets may not be used in any manner by or for the benefit of federal political candidates or parties. Accordingly, no authorization will be given for such purposes. Employees may, of course, personally participate and contribute to political organizations or campaigns, but for such participation, they must do so on their own time, away from the Company premises with their own funds, and in their own names.

VII.UNDISCLOSED INFORMATION AND SECURITIES LAWS

It is VICORP’s policy that Employees may not, without proper authority, release or discuss non-public information with anyone not employed by VICORP or with any VICORP Employee who has no need for the information. Non-public information is information which is not available from external sources and which generally gives VICORP some advantage over others, including financial projections, future business plans and the like. Employees should be particularly careful with information that might adversely affect VICORP’s interest if conveyed to persons outside the company.

It is strict Company policy that any Employee who acquires material inside information may not use such information to his or her personal advantage (or that of any immediate family member) by engaging in transactions in VICORP’s securities.

The Company is required to make accurate and timely filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Depending on their position with the Company, an Employee may be called upon to provide necessary information to assure that the Company’s public reports are full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable. In particular, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer shall be responsible for creating, maintaining, and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of a system of disclosure and control procedures designed to capture and timely and accurately report all information, including, without limitation, financial information, required to be

5

disclosed under applicable securities laws in all filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The Company expects its employees to take this responsibility very seriously and to promptly provide accurate answers to inquiries related to the Company’s public disclosure requirements.

VIII.INTEGRITY OF RECORDS

Transactional records between VICORP and outside individuals, businesses, and organizations must be carefully and honestly prepared and must be an accurate representation of the transaction. False or misleading statements and such documentation are not permitted and may be illegal. In no event shall any person destroy any Company records, even if destruction is consistent with the document retention policy, if such person has actual knowledge that such records are relevant to any pending or threatened claim, litigation, arbitration, or governmental investigation or proceeding.

IX.USE OF AGENTS AND NON-EMPLOYEES

VICORP officers or employees should not retain any agents, consultants, or other representatives to engage in conduct that violates the law or this policy, or which circumvents the spirit of either standard.

X.USE OF COMPANY ASSETS

All Employees must use the Company’s assets for legitimate business purposes only. The Company expects its Employees to use the Company’s assets efficiently and with care so that the assets can be employed profitably.

XI.RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT

Officers, managers, and supervisors of VICORP are required to be aware of those laws applicable to their respective areas of responsibility and of the Company’s policies which relate to their respective areas of Company operations. It is also the responsibility of management to be aware of how those operations are being conducted by personnel under their supervision. Managers may be liable under the law for gross and repeated wrongful actions of employees under their supervision – even though the manager may have had no actual knowledge of the conduct in question.

XII.DISCLOSURE / EMPLOYEE COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

For the protection of both the Company and the individual, it is essential that each Employee make prompt and full disclosure through the Employee Complaint Procedure (which is incorporated into the Business Conduct Policy) of any situation which may involve a conflict of interest, whether or not the Employee is personally involved. All information so disclosed will be treated as confidential, except to the extent necessary for the protection of the interests of the Company. In any case where a VICORP Employee is uncertain as to the status of a particular action, the matter should be discussed with the appropriate level of management and, if necessary, the Company’s Legal Department prior to the taking of any such action.

6

XIII.CONCLUSION

The principal purpose of VICORP’s business conduct policy is to inform all VICORP Employees of the standards they are expected to observe in conducting the day-to-day affairs of the Company. To this end, you are asked to thoroughly review this material, to raise questions of interpretation when necessary to ensure your own understanding of its terms, and to periodically re-read this policy.

Over the years VICORP has issued policies addressing many of the matters discussed in this Policy. Many of these existing policies provide more detailed guidelines. All of these existing policies are being reviewed to ensure that they are up to date and consistent with the Business Conduct Policy. In the meantime, Employees should continue to adhere to and be guided by these existing policies. In the event that an existing policy is inconsistent with this Business Conduct Policy, you should follow the Business Conduct Policy and bring the matter to the attention of senior management and, if necessary, the Company’s Legal Department.

This Business Conduct Policy is not a contract of employment and does not create any contractual rights of any kind between Employees and the Company. VICORP reserves the right to modify or change the Business Conduct Policy at any time. Where applicable laws pertaining to employment contain mandatory requirements that differ from the provisions of this Business Conduct Policy, such requirements will prevail for Employees working in locations that are subject to those laws.

EMPLOYEE COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

The following procedures are to be used for the submission of complaints or concerns regarding financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or violation of the Company’s Business Conduct Policy.

Any Employee may submit a good faith complaint regarding accounting or auditing matters or code violations to the Company’s management without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind. VICORP is committed to achieving compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, accounting standards, accounting controls, and audit practices. VICORP’s Audit Committee will oversee treatment of Employee concerns.

In order to facilitate the reporting of Employee complaints, the Company’s Audit Committee has established the following procedures for (i) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or violation of the Company’s Business Conduct Policy (“Accounting Matters”); and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission by Employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting matters.

Receipt of Employee Complaints.

Employees may forward concerns regarding accounting matters or other violations of the Company’s Business Conduct Policy on a confidential or anonymous basis to the Corporate Attorney through e-mail or regular mail directed to Gary F. Burke, Corporate Attorney, 400 West 48th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80216, e-mail gary.burke@vicorpinc.com.

Scope of Matters Covered by These Procedures

These procedures relate to Employee complaints relating to any questionable accounting or auditing matters, including:

•Fraud or deliberate error in the preparation, evaluation, review, or audit of any financial statement of the Company

•Fraud or deliberate error in the recording and maintaining of financial records of the Company

•Deficiencies in or non-compliance with the Company’s internal accounting controls

•Misrepresentation or false statement to or by a senior officer or accountant regarding a matter contained in the financial records, financial reports, or audit reports of the Company

•Deviation from full and fair reporting of the Company’s financial condition

•Violations of VICORP’s Business Conduct Policy

Treatment of Complaints

Upon receipt of a complaint, VICORP’s Corporate Attorney will (i) determine whether the complaint actually pertains to accounting matters and (ii) when possible, acknowledge receipt of the complaint to the sender.

1

Complaints relating to accounting matters will be reviewed under Audit Committee direction and oversight by the Chief Financial Officer or Corporate Attorney or such other persons as the Audit Committee determines to be appropriate. Complaints relating to possible violations of the Business Conduct Policy will be reviewed under Corporate Attorney direction and oversight by the Chief Executive Officer. Any review will be conducted in a confidential manner to the fullest extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an adequate review. The Audit Committee or Corporate Attorney may enlist Employees and/or outside legal, accounting, or other advisers, as appropriate, to conduct any investigation of complaints regarding financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or violations of the Company’s Business Conduct Policy.

Prompt and appropriate corrective action will be taken when and as warranted in the judgment of the Audit Committee or Corporate Attorney, which may include, alone or in combination, a warning or letter of reprimand, demotion, loss of merit increase, bonus or stock options, suspension without pay, or termination of employment or other appropriate action as required.

The Company will not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any manner discriminate against any Employee in the terms and conditions of employment based upon any lawful action of such Employee with respect to good faith reporting of complaints regarding accounting matters or otherwise as specified in Section 8.06 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Reporting and Retention of Complaints and Investigation

The Company, through the Corporate Attorney, will maintain a log of all complaints, tracking their receipt, investigation, and resolution and prepare a summary report for the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis or more frequently if warranted. If there have been no complaints, the quarterly report will specifically state that fact. Copies of complaints in the log will be maintained in accordance with the Company’s document retention policy, which shall be for no less than seven (7) years.
