SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1.   Basis of presentation:

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X related to interim period financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Sbarro and our subsidiaries at July 16, 2006 and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 and July 17, 2005 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Reference should be made to our annual financial statements, including footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2006.

  Certain items in the financial statements presented have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

  In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  In particular, this interpretation requires uncertain tax positions to be recognized only if they are “more-likely-than-not” to be upheld based on their technical merits. Additionally, the measurement of the tax position will be based on the largest amount that is determined to have greater than a 50% likelihood of realization upon ultimate settlement. Any resulting cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 upon adoption would be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. FIN 48 will be effective beginning fiscal 2007. We have not yet evaluated the impact of this interpretation on our financial statements.

3.   Senior Notes:

  The $255 million of 11% senior notes we issued in 1999 are due September 15, 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year.  Our payment obligations under the senior notes are jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by all of Sbarro’s current Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) and is to be similarly guaranteed by our future Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Page 9


SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

  The senior notes and the subsidiary guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of Sbarro and the guaranteeing subsidiaries, respectively, ranking equally in right of payment to all of our and their respective present and future senior debt, including amounts outstanding under the bank line of credit agreement discussed below.  The indenture permits redemption of the senior notes at our option at varying redemption prices and requires us to offer to purchase senior notes in the event of a Change of Control and in connection with certain Asset Sales (each as defined). 

  The indenture contains, various covenants that limit our ability to borrow funds, other than certain permitted indebtedness, to make “restricted payments” including, among other things, dividend payments, and to make investments in, among other things, unrestricted subsidiaries. The indenture for the senior notes permits us to make distributions to shareholders pursuant to a tax payment agreement between us and our shareholders that contains a formula that is designed to approximate the income taxes, including estimated taxes, that would be payable by our shareholders if their only income were their pro-rata share of our taxable income and such income were taxed at the highest applicable federal and New York State marginal income tax rates.

  Among other covenants, the indenture requires that, in order for us to borrow, our consolidated interest ratio coverage (as defined in the indenture), after giving pro forma effect to the interest on the new borrowing, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters must be at least 2.5 to 1. As of July 16, 2006, that ratio was 1.8 to 1. As a result, we are not presently able to borrow funds except for the specifically permitted indebtedness, including up to $75 million of revolving credit loans.

  In order to make restricted payments, that ratio must be at least 2.0 to 1, after giving pro forma effect to the restricted payment and, in any event, is limited in dollar amount pursuant to a formula contained in the indenture. We refer to the amount that is available for us to make dividends and other restricted payments as the “restricted payment availability.” We cannot make restricted payments (other than distributions pursuant to the tax payment agreement) until we increase the restricted payment availability by approximately $29.9 million, and then only to the extent of any excess over that amount.

  Line of Credit:

  In July 2005, we obtained a three year line of credit from Commerce Bank to replace our former uncommitted revolving credit facility. Under the Commerce Bank line of credit, we currently have the ability to borrow up to $10 million, with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $5 million. Interest applicable to the loans under the line of credit is at the bank’s LIBOR rate plus 1.5% at the time of any borrowings for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. The credit facility contains various covenants, including a minimum coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis. The minimum coverage ratio is primarily a ratio of EBITDA (less unfinanced capital expenditures) to the current maturity of long term indebtedness and interest expense. There are currently $1.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new facility.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

  Mortgage:

  In March 2000, one of our subsidiaries obtained a $16 million, 8.4% loan due in 2010, secured by a mortgage on our corporate headquarters building. The loan is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $0.1 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan as of July 16, 2006 was $14.8 million. The mortgage agreement contains various covenants.

  We were in compliance with all covenants in the indenture for the senior notes, our credit line and our mortgage as of July 16, 2006.

  Insurance Premium Financing:

  In June 2006, we entered into a short term insurance premium financing agreement for $3.3 million. Under the agreement, we are required to make three quarterly payments beginning August 1, 2006 of $1.2 million, including interest with the final payment due February 1, 2007. The annual percentage rate is 6.49%.

  Guarantee Arrangements Pertaining to Other Concepts:

  We are party to separate financial guarantees to a bank for two of our unconsolidated joint ventures. To varying degrees, our guarantees involve elements of performance and credit risk. The possibility of our having to honor our guarantee is largely dependent upon the future operation of the joint ventures. The joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants as of July 16, 2006.

4.   Business Segment Information

  We operate two business segments. Our company owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company owned Quick Service restaurants and other concept restaurants (owned and joint ventures). Our franchise restaurant segment offers franchise opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name. Revenue from franchise operations is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue.

  We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to the franchise operating segment. Such costs are managed on an entity wide basis, and the information to reasonably allocate such costs is not readily available.

  We do not allocate assets by segment because our chief operating decision makers do not review the assets by segment to assess the segments’ performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other data and information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

We are a leading owner, operator and franchisor of quick service restaurants (“QSR”), serving a wide variety of Italian specialty foods. We also operate, in certain cases with joint venture partners, a number of other restaurant concepts.

The following table summarizes the number of Sbarro owned, franchised and other concept restaurants in operation during each indicated period:

Executive Overview

Sales increased in the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005. Mall traffic has increased as retailers, particularly high end mall based retailers, are serving more customers. We continue to benefit from the reengineering of our QSR operations in 2004 while continuing to provide a quality product coupled with quality service. We believe our strategy resulted in the significant improvement of our operations, including higher sales and improved results of operations. Selective price increases, improvements in operational controls and upgraded store management at all levels produced increased comparable restaurant unit sales and improved earnings in the first half of 2006.

We have developed a new concept, Carmela’s of Brooklyn, which opened its first restaurant in February 2005. Carmela’s of Brooklyn is expected to operate outside of our traditional mall, hospitality and airport venues. We believe that the continuing development of this and other concepts, along with a combination of our re-energized QSR restaurants and continued growth in our franchise based business, should lead to continued improvements in both revenues and profits.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and the effects of weather, national security, economic and business conditions. Earnings have been highest in our fourth quarter due primarily to increased volume in shopping malls during the holiday shopping season. Our annual earnings can fluctuate due to the length of the holiday shopping period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day and the number of weeks in our fourth quarter.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Due to the seasonality of our business, until we determine the results of operations for our fourth quarter, we are not able to perform our annual test for impairment on our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and fully evaluate the impairment of long-lived assets as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Any required adjustments are recorded at that time unless impairment factors become evident earlier.

  (2)        EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or as a measure of a company’s profitability or liquidity. Rather, we believe that EBITDA provides relevant and useful information for analysts of, and investors in, our senior notes in that EBITDA is one of the factors in the calculations used to determine our compliance with the ratios in the indenture under which our senior notes are issued. We also internally use EBITDA to determine whether to continue operating restaurant units since it provides us with a measurement of whether we are receiving an adequate cash return on our cash investment. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Our EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities since they do not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent a net increase in cash since they do not include cash provided by (used in) investing and

Second Quarter 2006 Versus Second Quarter 2005

We operate two business segments. Our company owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company owned Quick Service restaurants and other concept restaurants (owned and joint ventures). Our franchise restaurant segment offers franchise opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name. Revenue from franchise operations is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue.

We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to the franchise operating segment. Such costs are managed on an entity wide basis, and the information to reasonably allocate such costs is not readily available.

We do not allocate assets by segment because our chief operating decision makers do not review the assets by segment to assess the segments’ performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis.

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants increased 0.4% to $70.8 million for the twelve weeks ended July 16, 2006 from $70.5 million for the twelve weeks ended July 17, 2005. The increase in sales for the second quarter of 2006 includes $.8 million or 1.2% of higher sales in our QSR restaurants, with comparable restaurant sales increasing by 3.7% offset, in part by fewer company-owned QSR restaurants in operation during 2006 and slightly lower restaurant sales of our consolidated other concepts as a result of the sale of a joint venture and three company owned restaurants. We believe that improved economic conditions in the United States, improvement in our operational controls and upgraded field and store management, combined with higher check averages and selective price increases implemented in 2005 accounted for the improvements in comparable restaurant sales.

Franchise related revenues increased to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was attributable to additional locations opened during the last twelve months (net of closed locations).

Real estate and other revenues increased by $.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in certain food rebates we received based on franchisee’s level of purchase.

Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales improved by 1.6 percentage points to 19.3% for the twelve weeks ended July 16, 2006 from 20.9% for the twelve weeks ended July 17, 2005. The cost of cheese in the second quarter of 2006 averaged

Page 30


approximately $1.37 per pound compared to an average of approximately $1.72 per pound for the second quarter of 2005. This $0.35 per pound improvement in cheese cost accounted for $0.6 million or 9 basis points of the improvement. Improved operational controls, combined with selective price increases implemented in 2005 were the primary reasons for the remainder of the improvement in our cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant sales.

Payroll and other employee benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales was 27.8% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 27.6% in the second quarter of 2005. Payroll costs increased $.2 million as compared to the second quarter of 2005 as a result of salary increases offset by improved efficiencies and improved sales.

Other operating costs decreased by $.3 million the for twelve weeks ended July 16, 2006 from the second quarter of 2005 and, as a percentage of restaurant sales, decreased to 37.1% from 37.7%. The decrease was primarily related to reduced repair and maintenance costs.

General and administrative expenses were $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $6.2 million the second quarter of 2005. The increase resulted primarily from upgrades and additions to corporate and franchise personnel and an increase in a long term executive bonus plan accrual.

Interest expense of $7.1 million for the second quarters of both 2006 and 2005 relates primarily to the 11%, $255 million senior notes we issued to finance our going private transaction in 1999 and the 8.4%, $16 million mortgage loan on our corporate headquarters.

Equity in the net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates represents our proportionate share of earnings and losses in those other concept restaurants in which we have a 50% or less ownership interest. Our equity in the overall profits of those concepts increased by $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 from the second quarter of 2005 as a result of a new steakhouse opened in the beginning of the third quarter of 2005. We do not have any further expansion plans for this venture.

We have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning January 3, 2000. Under the provisions of Subchapter S, substantially all taxes on our income are paid by our shareholders rather than us. Our tax expense was $.3 million for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The expense in each period was for taxes owed by us to jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status or that tax entities based on factors other than income and for taxes withheld at the source of payment on foreign franchise income related payments.

We operate two business segments. Our company owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company owned Quick Service restaurants and other concept restaurants (owned and joint ventures). Our franchise restaurant segment offers franchise opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name. Revenue from franchise operations is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue.

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants increased 1.7% to $164.6 million for the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 from $161.8 million for the twenty eight weeks ended July 17, 2005. The increase in sales for the first half of 2006 includes $4.0 million or 2.6% of higher restaurant sales in our QSR restaurants due to an increase of comparable sales of 5.0% offset, in part by fewer company-owned QSR restaurants in operation during 2006 and slightly lower restaurant sales of our consolidated other concepts as a result of the sale of a joint venture and three company owned restaurants. We believe that the improvement in comparable unit sales was due to improved economic conditions in the United States, improvement in our operational controls, upgraded field and store management combined with higher check averages and selective price increases.

Franchise related revenues increased to $7.4 million for the first half of 2006 from $6.4 million in the first half of 2005. The increase was attributable to additional locations opened during the last year (net of closed locations) and a settlement with a franchisee which increased revenues by approximately $.5 million.

Real estate and other revenues increased by $.9 million in the first half of 2006. The increase was attributable to the gain from the sale of restaurant property and equipment of one of our other concept restaurants.

Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales improved by 1.5 percentage points to 19.4% for the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 from 20.9% for the twenty eight weeks ended July 17, 2005. The cost of cheese in the first half of 2006 averaged approximately $1.43 per pound compared to an average of approximately $1.73 per pound in the first half of 2005. This $.30 per pound improvement in cheese cost accounted for $1.3 million or 8 basis points of the improvement. Improved operational controls and sales growth also contributed to the improvement in our cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant sales.

Payroll and other employee benefits, as a percentage of restaurant sales, improved to 27.8% in the first half of 2006 from 27.9% in the first half of 2005. The improvement was primarily a result of efficiencies and improved sales.

Other operating costs decreased by $1.2 million in the first half of 2006 and, as a percentage of restaurant sales, decreased to 36.8% from 38.2% in the first half of 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from lower repair and maintenance costs and bonus expense.

General and administrative expenses were $16.5 million for the first half of 2006 compared to $14.3 million in the first half of 2005. The increase resulted primarily from upgrades and additions to corporate and franchise personnel, an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts relating to franchise receivables and an increase in a long term executive bonus plan accrual.

Page 33


Interest expense of $16.8 million for the first half of 2006 and $16.6 million for the first half of 2005 relates primarily to the 11%, $255 million senior notes we issued to finance our going private transaction in 1999 and the $16 million mortgage loan at 8.4% on our corporate headquarters.

Equity in the net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates represents our proportionate share of earnings and losses in those other concept restaurants in which we have a 50% or less ownership interest. Our equity in the overall profits of those concepts in the first half of 2006 increased by $.2 million as a result of a new steakhouse opened in the beginning of the third quarter 2005. We do not have any expansion plans for these ventures.

We have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning January 3, 2000. Under the provisions of Subchapter S, substantially all taxes on our income are paid by our shareholders rather than us. Our tax expense was $.7 million and $.6 million for the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The expense in each period was for taxes owed by us to jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status or that tax entities based on factors other than income and for taxes withheld at the source of payment on foreign franchise income related payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

Our liquidity requirements relate to debt service, including to repay any borrowings we may make under our line of credit agreement, capital expenditures, working capital, investments in other ventures, distributions to shareholders when permitted under the indenture for the senior notes and general corporate purposes. We incur annual cash interest expense of approximately $29 million under the senior notes and mortgage loan and may incur additional interest expense for borrowings under our line of credit. We are not required to make principal payments, absent the occurrence of certain events, on our senior notes until they mature in September 2009. We believe that aggregate restaurant capital expenditures and our investments in joint ventures during the second half of 2006 will approximate $13 million.

We expect our primary source of liquidity to meet current requirements will be cash flow from operations. In July 2005, we obtained a three year line of credit from Commerce Bank to replace our former revolving credit facility. Under this line of credit, we currently have the ability to borrow up to $10 million with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $5 million. We do not presently expect to borrow under our line of credit except for required letters of credit. The maximum amount available under our line of credit, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit, was $8 million at July 16, 2006.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements do not materially differ from the information disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2006.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and working capital as at the end of the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the sources and uses of our cash flows during the first half of each of the respective years:

   Net decrease in cash   $ (8.9 ) $ (12.3 )


We have not historically required significant working capital to fund our existing operations and have financed our capital expenditures and investments in joint ventures through cash generated from operations.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.6 million for the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 compared to $9.5 million used during the twenty eight weeks ended July 17, 2005. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a lower net loss partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities has historically been primarily for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $3.5 million to $6.2 million for the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 from $2.7 million for the twenty eight weeks ended July 17, 2005 primarily due to restaurant remodeling offset by proceeds from the sale of restaurant property and equipment and capital contributions from partners to consolidated joint ventures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In particular, this interpretation requires uncertain tax positions to be recognized only if they are “more-likely-than-not” to be upheld based on their technical merits. Additionally, the measurement of the tax position will be based on the largest amount that is determined to have greater than a 50% likelihood of realization upon ultimate settlement. Any resulting cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 upon adoption would be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. FIN 48 will be effective beginning fiscal 2007. We have not yet evaluated the impact of this interpretation on our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

Accounting policies are an integral part of the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Understanding these policies, therefore, is a key factor in understanding our reported results of operations and financial position. Accounting policies often require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements. Due to their nature, estimates involve judgments based upon available information. Therefore, actual results or amounts could differ from estimates and the difference could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. During the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006, there were no material changes in the accounting policies whose application may have the most significant effect on our reported results of operations or financial position and that require judgments, estimates and assumptions by management that can affect their application and our results of operations and financial position from those discussed under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006.

Certain Relationships and Transactions

During the first half of 2006, there were no related party transactions in addition to those discussed under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in Part II, Item 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2006.

  general economic, inflation, national security, weather and business conditions;

  the availability of suitable restaurant sites in appropriate regional shopping malls and other locations on reasonable rental terms;

  changes in consumer tastes;

  changes in population and traffic patterns, including the effects that military action and terrorism or other events may have on the willingness of consumers to frequent malls, airports or downtown areas which are the predominant areas in which our restaurants are located;

  our ability to continue to attract franchisees;

  the success of our present, and any future, joint ventures and other expansion opportunities;

  the availability of food (particularly cheese and tomatoes), beverage and paper products at current prices;

  our ability to pass along cost increases to our customers;

  increases in Federal or State minimum wages;

  the continuity of services of members of our senior management team;

  our ability to attract and retain competent restaurant and executive managerial personnel;

  competition;

Item 3.   Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures of Market Risk

We have historically invested our cash on hand in short term, fixed rate, highly rated and highly liquid instruments which are reinvested when they mature throughout the year. The indenture under which our senior notes are issued limits us to similar investments. Although, due to their short term nature, our existing investments are not considered at risk with respect to changes in interest rates or markets for these instruments, our rate of return on short-term investments could be affected at the time of reinvestment as a result of intervening events.

Future borrowings under our line of credit (none are currently outstanding) will be at rates that float with the market and, therefore, will be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our $255 million senior notes bear a fixed interest rate of 11%. We are not a party to, and do not expect to enter into any, interest rate swaps or other instruments to hedge interest rates.

We have not purchased, and do not expect to purchase, future, forward, option or other instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the prices of the commodities we purchase. As a result, our future commodities purchases are subject to changes in the prices of such commodities.

All of our transactions with foreign franchisees have been denominated in, and all payments have been made in, United States dollars, reducing the risks in the changes of the values of foreign currencies. As a result, we have not purchased future contracts, options or other instruments to hedge against changes in values of foreign currencies.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of l934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the twenty eight weeks ended July 16, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
