Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(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.

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 April 20, 2006, the Company operated 300 Company-owned restaurants in 17 states. Of the Company-owned restaurants, 150 are Bakers Square restaurants and 150 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 168-day period ended April 20, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2006. 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 or year to date period ended April 20, 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.

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, after estimating forfeitures.

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). 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 recognizes 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.

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 and $0.2 million in the 84 days and year to date period ended April 21, 2005, respectively. The Company expensed $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the 84 days and year to date periods ended April 20, 2006, respectively.

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 two quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 consisted of 168 and 175 days, respectively, reflecting the difference in duration of the first quarter of those years. The second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 are the same in duration, 84 days. Fiscal 2006 will consist of 52 weeks, or 364 total days, while fiscal 2005 consisted of 53 weeks, or 371 total days.

2. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which is determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and consist of food, paper products and supplies. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

	April 20,		November 3,
	2006		2005
Inventories at pie production facilities and third-party storage locations:

Restaurant inventories	3,314		2,958
	$	10,973	$	12,425

3. Receivables, net

(In thousands)	April 20, 2006			November 3, 2005

Trade receivables	$	4,836		$	5,799

Notes receivable	7			7
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(279		)	(358		)
Receivables, net	$	9,953		$	15,756

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 April 20, 2006, the Company had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.2 million and had $5.8 million 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 April 20, 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 $17.0 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 the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the agreement. At April 20, 2006, the interest rate was 8.0% 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 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 April 20, 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, general liability and property areas. 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 April 20, 2006, the Company had placed letters of credit totaling approximately $7.1 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.

During the quarter, the Company was served with two class action lawsuits in California. The first complaint asserts a series of claims which allege that the Company misclassified California Bakers Square managers as exempt from overtime compensation from February 1, 2005, through the present. The second complaint asserts a series of claims which alleges that the Company’s vacation policy violated California law. The putative class in the second complaint includes all former and current California Bakers Square employees from April 11, 2002, through the present. Both complaints seek monetary damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees in unspecified amounts. Company management believes that these cases, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

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 $2.1 million as of April 20, 2006. The Company has not made any payments due to default under these agreements, and management believes the guarantee has no fair value. 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 $7.5 million as of April 20, 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 the 84 day periods ended April 20, 2006 and April 21, 2005, and $392,000 during both the 168 day and 175 day periods ended April 20, 2006 and April 21, 2005. Management fees paid to Wind Point Partners, IV, L.P. and Wind Point Investors V, L.P. under this agreement totaled $213,000 during the 84 day periods ended April 20, 2006 and April 21, 2005, and $213,000 and $426,000 during the 168 day and 175 day periods ended April 20, 2006 and April 21, 2005, respectively.

7. Asset impairments, asset disposals and related costs

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis whenever impairment indicators are determined to be present. We consider a history of cash flow losses to be the primary indicator of potential impairment for individual restaurant locations. We determine whether a restaurant location is impaired based on expected undiscounted future cash flows, considering location, local competition, current store management performance, existing pricing structure and alternatives available for the site. If impairment exists, the amount of impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.

During the quarter ended April 20, 2006, the Company recorded a $0.5 million pretax impairment charge related to the writedown of assets for six restaurant locations. The Company recorded a $0.8 million pretax impairment for the year to date period ended April 20 2006 related to 11 restaurant locations. There were no impairment charges for the quarter or year to date periods ended April 21, 2005.

As of April 20, 2006 and November 3, 2005, the Company had recorded reserves for closed/subleased restaurant locations of approximately $0.8 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 five restaurant locations to which this reserve relates, four of such locations were subleased as of April 20, 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.

The Company believes that the carrying value of the deemed landlord financing liability approximates fair value.

9. Acquisitions

The Company purchased four restaurants during the first quarter of 2006 and purchased an additional restaurant in the third quarter of 2006 from a franchisee in Oklahoma for $650,000.

10. Stock Repurchase

In January 2006, the Company agreed to repurchase shares of its 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 396 restaurants in 26 states as of April 20, 2006, consisting of 300 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.

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 April 20, 2006, we had 96 franchised Village Inn restaurants in 19 states, operated by 25 franchisees which operate one to 11 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.

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 restaurant 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. In order to determine the operating profit for our third party sales, we allocate both variable and fixed costs. As external sales increase, the allocation method may cause a decrease in the operating profit due to the higher allocation of fixed costs to the external sales. 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.

Our 2006 second quarter financial results included:

• Growth of revenues in the second quarter by 9.0% to $106.3 million from 2005 to 2006, reflecting the net addition or acquisition of thirty-one company-operated restaurants over the past two years. Same store sales decreased by 2.2% from 2005 to 2006.

• Operating profit decreased to $4.8 million from $6.8 million in 2005.

Net income decreased to a net loss of $1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from net income of $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Interest expense increased $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increased number of new units accounted for using the financing method.

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 the lease term that includes lease renewals, if such renewals are considered reasonably assured. The useful lives of assets range from 20 to 30 years for buildings and three to ten years for equipment and improvements. Changes in circumstances such as the closing of units within underproductive markets or changes in our capital structure could result in the actual useful lives of these assets differing from our estimates.

liability for that lease. Any gain or loss recognized on the transaction would then be amortized, as rent expense, over the remaining reasonably assured lease term.

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 quarter ended April 20, 2006, the Company recorded a $0.5 million pretax impairment charge related to the writedown of assets for six restaurant locations. The Company recorded a $0.8 million pretax impairment for the year to date period ended April 20, 2006 related to 11 restaurant locations. There were no impairment charges for the quarter or year to date periods ended April 21, 2005.

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. Future authoritative changes to the methods of accounting for leases could have a material impact on our reported results of operations and financial position.

Following the June 2003 acquisition, we analyzed all capital and operating leases which had not been initiated or renewed in the past 18 months to determine the fair market value of these agreements. Lease fair market values were determined by obtaining comparable rents for select locations through third-party advisors and reviewing sale-leaseback transactions within the past 18 months to determine an average rent as a percentage of unit sales. This average was applied to each location to determine fair value rents. These additional rents are amortized over the remaining life of the underlying lease agreements. The amounts were classified as either assets or liability based on the analysis. At April 20, 2006 the asset balance was $5.9 million and the liability balance was $2.4 million. At November 3, 2005 the asset balance was $6.6 million and the liability balance was $2.5 million.

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. The Company capitalized $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the quarter and year to date period ended April 21, 2005, respectively. The company expensed $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the quarter and year to date periods ended April 20, 2006, respectively.

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 $9.8 million and $9.3 million recorded as of April 20, 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.

Favorable workers’ compensation claims experience related to recent years has permitted a reduction in workers’ compensation expense accruals in both fiscal 2005 and 2006 versus previous years. We recorded a reduction to our workers’ compensation reserve of $0.8 million during the quarter ended April 20, 2006. No reduction was taken during the quarter ended April 21, 2005. Should the current claims experience trends continue, it is likely further expense reductions will be made.

Loss contingencies

We maintain accrued liabilities and reserves relating to the resolution of 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 April 20, 2006, we had gross deferred tax assets which included $15.0 million of FICA tip credit carryforwards, expiring at various dates through 2026. Approximately $9.5 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. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $2.8 million for the portion of its deferred tax asset related to an investment for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

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.

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, after estimating forfeitures.

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.

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 half of fiscal 2006 consisted of 24 weeks, or 168 days and fiscal 2006 will consist of 52 weeks or 364 total days. The first half of fiscal 2005 consisted of 25 weeks, or 175 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.

84 Days Ended April 20, 2006 (“Second Quarter of Fiscal 2006”) Compared to 84 Days Ended April 21, 2005 (“Second Quarter of Fiscal 2005”)

Total revenues increased by $8.8 million, or 9.0%, to $106.3 million in fiscal 2006’s second quarter, from $97.5 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2005. The increase was due largely to operating twenty-three more locations on average during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005. However, we experienced a net 2.2% decrease in same unit sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 over the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Village Inn same unit sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased 2.6% over the second quarter of fiscal 2005, and Bakers Square same unit sales decreased 1.7% over the same period. Average guest spending increased 2.9% at Village Inn and 3.9% at Bakers Square in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Third party pie sales increased $3.0 million, or 75.0%, to $7.0 million due to the addition of a large customer at the end of the first quarter of 2006.

Food costs increased by $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $24.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, from $24.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Food costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues decreased to 25.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from 26.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease was driven primarily by menu price increases exceeding commodity price increases.

Labor costs increased by $3.3 million, or 11.0%, to $33.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, from $30.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 34.0% from 32.5% over these periods. The relative increase in labor costs was due to lower operating efficiency, increased average wage due to minimum wage increases, negative leverage associated with the same store sales decline and labor inefficiencies at the new restaurants in start up mode.

Other operating expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 12.6%, to $28.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $25.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Other operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 29.1% from 27.4% over these periods. This increase was primarily due to higher occupancy costs ($1.7 million), increased utility costs ($0.7 million) and increased costs associated with new store growth, partially offset by lower workers’ compensation costs ($0.8 million).

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 3.2%, to $6.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $6.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in legal fees and settlements. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 5.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and 6.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Operating profit decreased by $2.0 million, or 29.4%, to $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, from $6.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating profit as a percentage of total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased to 4.5% from 6.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease was due largely to the decline in our same unit sales, its effect on labor, as well as increases in other operating expenses.

Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, or 9.2%, to $7.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, from $6.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase was due primarily to an increased number of new leased units accounted for using the financing method versus the operating lease treatment had sale lease back accounting been permitted.

Provision for income taxes (benefit) for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was a $0.9 million benefit, compared to $24,000 benefit for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was 40.7% but was not significant for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. 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.

Net income (loss) decreased by $1.8 million to a $1.3 million loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from income of $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income (loss) as a percentage of total revenues decreased to a negative 1.2% from a positive 0.5% over these periods.

Preferred stock dividends and accretion increased by $0.3 million to $2.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $1.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as a result of the compounding effect of unpaid preferred stock dividends.

168 Days Ended April 20, 2006 (“First Two Quarters of Fiscal 2006”) Compared to 175 days Ended April 21, 2005 (“First Two Quarters of Fiscal 2005”)

Total revenues increased by $5.7 million, or 2.7%, to $218.6 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, from $212.9 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2005. The increase was partly due to operating twenty-one more locations on average during the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, offset by an additional week in the first half of fiscal 2005. We experienced a net 1.1% decrease in same unit sales for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 over the same quarters of fiscal 2005, with Village Inn same unit sales decreasing 1.2% and Bakers Square same unit sales decreasing 1.0% over the same period. Average guest spending increased 3.0% at Village Inn and 4.8% at Bakers Square in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 compared to the same quarters in fiscal 2005.

Food costs increased by $0.4 million, or 0.8%, to $53.0 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, from $52.6 million for the same quarters of fiscal 2005. Food costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues decreased to 26.2% for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from 26.7% in the same quarters of fiscal 2005. The decrease was driven primarily by menu price increases exceeding commodity price increases.

Labor costs increased by $4.0 million, or 6.4%, to $66.3 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, from $62.3 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2005, and as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 32.8% from 31.6% over these periods. The increase in labor costs was due to lower operating efficiency, increased average wage due to minimum wage increases, negative leverage associated with the same store sales decline and labor inefficiencies at the new restaurants in start up mode.

Other operating expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 10.5%, to $58.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from $53.1 million for the same quarters of fiscal 2005 and other operating expense as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 29.0% for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from 27.0% in the same quarters of fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to higher

occupancy costs ($2.6 million), increased utility costs ($1.3 million) and increased costs associated with new store growth, partially offset by lower workers’ compensation costs ($0.8 million).

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 7.8%, to $11.9 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from $12.9 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2005. The decrease was driven primarily by a reduction in legal fees and settlements. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.4% in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from 6.0% in the same quarters of fiscal 2005.

Operating profit decreased $5.6 million, or 32.9%, to $11.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, from $17.0 million for the same quarters of fiscal 2005. Operating profit as a percentage of total revenues was 5.2% and 8.0% for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to increased other operating expenses and increased losses from the pie manufacturing business.

Interest expense increased by $0.5 million, or 3.7%, to $14.0 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, from $13.5 million for the same quarters of fiscal 2005. The increase was driven by new leased unit growth accounted for using the financing method versus the operating lease treatment had sale lease back accounting been permitted, offset by lower debt balances.

Provision for income taxes for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 was a $1.1 million benefit, compared to a provision of $1.0 million for the same quarters of fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate was 47.8% for the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 compared to 27.3% in fiscal 2005’s first two quarters. 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.

Net income (loss) decreased by $3.9 million to a $1.2 million loss in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from income of $2.7 million in the same quarters of fiscal 2005. Net income (loss) as a percentage of total revenues decreased to negative 0.6% from a positive 1.3% over these periods.

Preferred stock dividends and accretion increased by $0.4 million to $4.4 million in first two quarters of fiscal 2006 from $4.0 million for first two quarters of 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 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 before build-to-suit construction (as discussed below) of approximately $14.2 million, reflecting an acceleration of our unit growth. Of this amount, $6.2 million is expected to be spent on new restaurant construction, $4.2 million for remodels and the remainder on capital maintenance and other support related projects. We currently expect to open or acquire an estimated 29 to 34 new restaurants in fiscal 2006, including the 16 we opened or acquired through the second quarter.

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 April 20, 2006, we had outstanding receivables of $4.9 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 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 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 April 20, 2006, we had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.2 million and had $5.8 million in 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 senior secured term loan. Under this formula, as of April 20, 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 $17.0 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 senior secured credit agreement. At April 20, 2006, the interest rates were 8.0% 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. 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.

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 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. On April 20, 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 April 20, 2006. These capital leases have expiration dates ranging from November 2008 to June 2011.

We are the prime lessee under various operating leases or agreements under deemed landlord financing liability transactions for land, building and equipment for company-operated and franchised restaurants, pie production facilities and locations subleased to non-affiliated third parties. These leases and agreements 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 and agreements 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 $2.1 million as of April 20, 2006.

As of April 20, 2006, our commitments with respect to the above obligations were as follows (in millions):

(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 April 20, 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):

	168 Days Ended			175 Days Ended
	April 20, 2006			April 21, 2005

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	16.0		$	14.6
Net cash used in investing activities	(19.3		)	(8.6		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	3.2			1.6
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(0.1	)	$	7.6

Operating activities

For the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, cash flows from operating activities increased $1.4 million compared to the same quarters of fiscal 2005. The increase resulted primarily from decreased prepaid expenses of $1.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.7 million.

Investing activities

Net cash used in our investing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005 consisted primarily of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures for property and equipment in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005 were comprised of the following (in millions):

	April 20, 2006		April 21, 2005

New store construction	$	5.1	$	1.8
Existing store remodel and refurbishment	2.9		1.3
Capital replacements	3.3		2.5
Corporate related	0.1		0.3
Purchase of property and equipment	$	11.4	$	5.9

In addition to the capital expenditures noted above, we spent $7.3 million for assets under deemed landlord finance liability during the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 compared to $3.0 million in the same quarters of fiscal 2005. We opened 16 new restaurants in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 and five restaurants in the same quarters of fiscal 2005. Also, we had an additional 13 locations under construction at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Financing activities

Our financing activities provided cash of $3.2 million during the first two quarters of fiscal 2006, consisting primarily of $4.9 million of proceeds from deemed landlord financing transactions associated with our new restaurant construction, $5.8 million in borrowings under our revolving line of credit, and payments for the repurchase of stock of $0.7 million, partially offset by the repayment of all $6.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit at November 3, 2005.

Our financing activities provided cash of $1.6 million during the first two quarters of fiscal 2005, consisting principally of $3.1 million of proceeds from deemed landlord financing transactions associated with our new restaurant construction, partially offset by the repayment of all $1.4 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit at October 28,2004.

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 April 20, 2006, $20.8 million, or 14.2% of our total debt and capitalized lease obligations of $146.5 million, bears interest at a floating rate. A hypothetical one hundred basis point increase in interest rates for our variable rate borrowings as of April 20, 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 2.3%. 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, with 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 errors or mistakes, 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.
