SBARRO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of business:

Basis of financial statement presentation:

On January 31, 2007, entities controlled by MidOcean Partners III, LP, a private equity firm, and certain of its affiliates (“MidOcean”) acquired the Company, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”). MidOcean SBR Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sbarro Holdings, LLC, merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger. Sbarro Holdings, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MidOcean SBR Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). Sbarro Holdings, LLC owns 100% of our outstanding common stock and Holdings owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of Sbarro Holdings, LLC.

MidOcean owns approximately 76% of Holdings and thus acquired control of the Company in the Merger. Certain of our senior managers acquired approximately 5% of the outstanding equity of Holdings in connection with the Merger, with the balance of the equity of Holdings being owned by other investors.

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 June 28, 2009, and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 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 December 28, 2008.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through August 11, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to August 11, 2009 that would have a material impact on our financial statements.

Liquidity

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Merger and from funding our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures. Cash flow generated during our fourth quarter is critical to achieving positive annual operating cash flow. Adverse macroeconomic factors, including reduced mall traffic during the holiday shopping season, and a decline in consumer spending, among other factors, may negatively impact achieving our projected operating cash flow.

Our ability to borrow funds under our revolver is subject to our compliance with our debt covenant requirements. Prior to the amendment to our Senior Credit Facilities, such covenants included an interest coverage ratio and a total net leverage ratio. As of year end, we were in violation of our total net leverage ratio covenant under the credit agreement governing our Senior Credit Facilities. On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of our Term Loan by entering into a new Second Lien Facility, permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million, and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and, after such goal is obtained, then a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. See Note 3—Long-Term Debt for additional information regarding the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities and the new Second Lien Facility.

In response to the economic downturn in 2008, we began to implement aggressive strategic initiatives to reduce costs and improve our liquidity. These initiatives, which are ongoing, include closing unprofitable stores, renegotiating store lease terms, reducing headcount, revising our recipes without affecting our customers, as well as other expense controls. We believe these actions will enhance our liquidity going forward and will enable us to be in compliance with our debt covenants under the amended credit agreement and that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under the Senior Credit Facilities, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and

capital expenditure requirements for at least the next year. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements to conform to current classifications as a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 160 as discussed in Note 2 below.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued statement SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The FASB issued FASB 157-1 to exclude FASB Statement No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3 which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. We adopted SFAS No. 157 which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. In FAS 141(R), the FASB retained the fundamental requirements of Statement No. 141 to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly the purchase method) and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date for value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The Company will apply the provisions of this statement prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 29, 2008. We evaluated SFAS No. 141(R) but we did not have any business combinations; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on our consolidated financial statements had no impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the equity of the parent company. The statement further requires that consolidated net income be reported at amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest rather than expensing the income attributable to the minority interest holder. This statement also requires that companies provide sufficient disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent company and the interest of the noncontrolling interest holder. On December 29, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 160 and presented noncontrolling interests as a component of equity, a separate net income attributable to/from noncontrolling interests and a classification of distributions to/from noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any other material impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 115-2, SFAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“SFAS 115-2”). SFAS 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition and presentation of an other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and provides some new disclosure requirements for both debt and equity securities. SFAS 115-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS 115-2 which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly” (“SFAS 157-4”). SFAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities within the scope of SFAS No. 157 in markets that have experienced a significant reduction in volume and activity in relation to normal activity. SFAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS 157-4 which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107-1”). SFAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments,” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” and requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. SFAS 107-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 107-1.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). This standard provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events, which are defined as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This standard also requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. This standard is effective for interim or annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS No. 165 which did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” This statement amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact that this statement will have on our consolidated financial results.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”): Authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will begin to use the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Long Term Debt:

Indenture:

In connection with the Merger, we issued $150.0 million of senior notes at 10.375% due 2015 (“Senior Notes”). The interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and are guaranteed by all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of ours. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of ours to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness, including the Senior Credit Facilities and Second Lien Facility (both defined below). In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness will have prior claim to those of our assets that constitute their collateral. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness, claims of holders of preferred stock and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims in full from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. The Senior Notes are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of ours.

The indenture governing the notes contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to non-investment grade debt securities, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, repurchases of capital stock, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates.

Senior Credit Facilities:

In connection with the Merger, we entered into senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities originally provided for loans of $208.0 million under a $183.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility,” and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding and swing-line loans not to exceed $5.0 million at any one time outstanding. In connection with the Merger, we borrowed the entire $183.0 million available under the Term Loan. On October 17, 2008 and November 18, 2008, we borrowed $8.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, and we repaid $3.5 million and $4.0 million on March 26, 2009 and June 1, 2009, respectively, under the Revolving Facility. The Term Loan matures in 2014 and the Revolving Facility is scheduled to terminate and come due in 2013.

On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of the Term Loan by entering into a new Second Lien Facility (defined and discussed below), permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, permanently replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million, and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and, after such goal is obtained, then a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. In the first quarter of 2009, we wrote off $.4 million of deferred financing costs related to the prepayment of the Term Loan. On June 1, 2009, we repaid $4.0 million of the Revolving Facility. There were $3.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 28, 2009. The letters of credit were issued instead of cash security deposits under our operating leases or to guarantee construction costs of our locations, and for run-out claims under our medical plan. As a result, as of June 28, 2009, our remaining borrowing availability under the Senior Credit Facilities was $5.4 million.

In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest based, at our option, at either the LIBOR rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”), in each case plus a margin. Our rate of interest for borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, as amended, is LIBOR plus 4.50% or ABR plus 3.50%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Credit Facilities, we are required to pay an unused line fee to the lenders with respect to the unutilized revolving commitments at a rate that shall not exceed 50 basis points per annum.

Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Credit Facilities are secured by first priority perfected security interests in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, investments, repayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement, as amended, requires compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant.

Second Lien Facility

On March 26, 2009, we entered into a new Second Lien Facility. The Second Lien Facility provides for a $25.5 million secured term loan facility which matures in 2014. The loan under the Second Lien Facility was made by Column Investments S.a.r.l., an affiliate of MidOcean. In connection with closing the Second Lien Facility, we borrowed the entire $25.5 million available under the facility which provided for cash proceeds of $25.0 million (representing a discount).

Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bear interest at 15% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Second Lien Facility requires no principal payments until maturity. Interest is payable quarterly as follows: (i) Prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind; and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00. Interest accrued on the Second Lien Facility as of June 28, 2009 was approximately $1.0 million.

Our obligations under the Second Lien Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Second Lien Facility is secured by a second priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, dividends, investments, prepayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement contains (i) cross-acceleration provisions tied to the Senior Credit Facilities and cross-default provisions tied to the Senior Notes and (ii) compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, which are based on the covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facilities with less restrictive thresholds by approximately 15%. The credit agreement also contains a make-whole provision for any prepayment prior to the scheduled maturity date.

In connection with the closing of the Second Lien Facility, Holdings issued immediately exercisable warrants to certain MidOcean entities to acquire 5% of Holdings Units issued and outstanding on the dates of exercise. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility was $6.3 million and was recorded as paid-in capital with the offset recorded as a discount on the Second Lien Facility which is amortized over the life of the Second Lien Facility.

In connection with the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities and entry into the new Second Lien Facility, we recorded deferred financing costs of $1.9 million.

Long-term debt of $12.5 million is scheduled to mature in 2013 and $330.3 million is scheduled to mature in 2014 and thereafter.

4. Income Taxes:

We provide for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes as determined under enacted tax laws and rates. The effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a related measurement model. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position during the next twelve months.

In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. Ultimately, the realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized. Management considers the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and impairment of other assets.

Based on these considerations and the uncertainty surrounding the future economic climate, management believes that it is more likely than not that our net operating loss carryforward, foreign tax credit carryforward, and other deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the first six months of 2009, we recorded an addition to our valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets of $4.6 million. The balance of the valuation allowance as of June 28, 2009 was $39.6 million.

5. Fair Value Measurement

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In addition, SFAS No. 157 requires disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities to enable the assessment of inputs used to develop fair value measures, and for unobservable inputs to determine the effects of the measurements on earnings.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables-net, and accounts payable approximate carrying amounts because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Based on the quoted market price and trades, the estimated fair value of our Senior Notes as of June 28, 2009 approximated $86 million. Fair value of the Senior Credit Facility was obtained from an independent source of composite bid prices from multiple dealers (level 2 input) and approximated $132 million as of June 28, 2009. Fair value of the Second Lien Facility is assumed to approximate the $18.7 million net book value of the Second Lien Facility. Fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility was $6.3 million. Fair value was determined by calculating the enterprise value less the fair value of the debt less a marketability discount of 20%. The fair value of the enterprise was determined by using a weighted average approach of 25% each of two different level 2 inputs and 50% of one level 3 input. The level 2 inputs were the Guideline Company Approach and Guideline Transaction Approach. Both of these approaches utilize observable market inputs or transactions which can be validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services, brokers and market transactions, to calculate the business enterprise value.

The level 3 fair value was determined using the income approach (discounted cash flow). Under the discounted cash flow approach, we determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the Company’s risk characteristics of a reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and operating margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. Solely for purposes of establishing inputs for the fair value calculations described above related to determining the fair value of the warrants, we assumed that the current economic downturn would continue through the second quarter of 2009 with slight improvements in the second half of 2009, followed by moderate growth in future years consistent with our growth prior to the recent downturn in the economy. We applied gross margin assumptions consistent with the Company’s current trends and used a 15% discount rate.

The fair value of our debt on the transaction date was established in a manner consistent with that used to determine the fair value on the reporting date for disclosure purposes.

6. Business Segment Information:

We operate our business through two segments. Our company-owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company-owned QSR’s and other concept restaurants. Our franchise restaurant segment is comprised of our franchised restaurants which offer opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name and other trade names owned by Sbarro. Revenue from our franchised restaurant segment is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue. We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to our operating segments. 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 performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis. Our operating segments are discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13—Business Segment Information to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report that are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect” and similar words often indicate that a statement is a “forward-looking statement.” Statements about non-historic results also are considered to be forward-looking statements. None of these forward-looking statements are guarantees of future performance or events, and they are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:

 

   

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

 

   

decrease in mall traffic, and other events arising from the downturn in the economy, such as continued increases in energy that negatively affect consumer spending;

 

   

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;

 

   

changes in commodity and commodity related prices (particularly cheese and flour), beverage and paper products;

 

   

our ability to pass along cost increases to our customers;

 

   

increases in the Federal minimum wage;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

competition;

 

   

the level of, and our ability to comply with, government regulations;

 

   

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make interest payments under our borrowing agreements;

 

   

our ability to comply with financial covenants and ratios and the effects the restrictions imposed by those financial covenants and ratios may have on our ability to operate our business; and

 

   

our ability to repurchase and/or repay amounts under our borrowing agreements to the extent required in the event of certain circumstances as defined in our borrowing agreements.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any responsibility to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

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

Executive Overview

For the purposes of management’s discussion and analysis, the year to date second quarter of 2009 is the twenty six weeks ended June 28, 2009 and the year to date second quarter of 2008 is the twenty six weeks ended June 29, 2008 and the second quarter of 2009 is the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2009 and the second quarter of 2008 is the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2008.

We are the world’s leading Italian Quick Service Restaurant (“QSR”) concept and the largest shopping mall-focused restaurant concept in the world. We have a global base of 1,062 units in 44 countries, with 485 company-owned units, 560 franchised units and 17 joint venture units. Sbarro restaurants feature a menu of popular Italian food, including pizza, a selection of pasta dishes and other hot and cold Italian entrees, salads, sandwiches, drinks and desserts.

 

27


Table of Contents

We operate our business through two segments. Our company-owned restaurant segment is comprised of the operating activities of our company-owned QSR’s and other concept restaurants. Our franchised restaurant segment is comprised of our franchised restaurants which offer opportunities worldwide for qualified operators to conduct business under the Sbarro name and other trade names owned by Sbarro. Revenue from our franchised restaurant segment is generated from initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties and other franchising revenue. We do not allocate indirect corporate charges to our operating segments. 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 performance, as the assets are managed on an entity-wide basis. Our operating segments are discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13—Business Segment Information to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008.

Seasonality

Revenues are highest in our fourth quarter due primarily to increased traffic in shopping malls during the holiday shopping season. Our annual revenues and earnings can fluctuate due to the length of the holiday shopping period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

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 our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or margin growth rates are not achieved, at which time we may be required to perform our impairment test as such change may constitute a triggering event outside of the quarter from when the annual goodwill impairment test is performed.

Noncontrolling Interests

We present minority interests as noncontrolling interests in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets, as a separate net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statement of operations, and as a distribution to/from noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Comparable and annual percentage changes are based on locations that were open during the entire period within the periods presented.

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 the Senior Credit Facilities and the Second Lien Facility each contain a minimum EBITDA covenant. EBITDA, as calculated under our bank credit agreement, includes certain additional adjustments which are included in our Senior Credit Facility amendment. We also use EBITDA internally 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 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 financing activities.

(3)

Included in the calculation of EBITDA for the first six months of 2009 is $.4 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and $.4 million of professional fees related to the prepayment and amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities.

(4)

The majority of the decline in the 2009 International comparable Franchise sales related to the increase in the value of the U.S. dollar.

For each of the periods, the following table reconciles EBITDA to our net loss for each of the periods presented, which we believe is the most direct comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA (dollars in thousands):

Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants were $76.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $81.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable unit sales of 5.1% in our QSR restaurants, lost sales from stores strategically closed of $3.4 million, partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened in 2009 and 2008 of $2.0 million. The decrease in comparable unit sales primarily reflects reduced mall traffic throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment. These decreases are partially offset by Easter week falling in the second quarter of 2009 versus the first quarter of 2008.

Franchise related revenues were $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease is due to a decline in royalties on international and domestic comparable unit sales.

Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased to 20.4% for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 23.9% for the second quarter of 2008. The cost of cheese in the second quarter of 2009 averaged $1.38 per pound compared to an average of $2.12 per pound in the second quarter of 2008. This $.74 per pound decrease in cheese costs accounted for $1.1 million or 1.4% of restaurant sales. The cost of flour in the second quarter of 2009 averaged $.29 compared to $.59 for the second quarter of 2008. This $.30 per pound decrease accounted for $.9 million or 1.2% of restaurant sales.

Payroll and other employee benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased to 28.1% in the second quarter of 2009 from 30.1% in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease is due to cost control initiatives implemented in 2009.

Other operating costs decreased to $29.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. As a percentage of restaurant sales, operating costs increased to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 38.4% in the second quarter of 2008 due to lower sales in 2009.

Other income, net increased slightly to $.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $.7 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased slightly to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily related to severance and an increase to the provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by cost control initiatives implemented in 2009.

Asset impairment, restaurant closing and remodeling costs were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. The $.9 million increase is primarily due to 6 stores strategically closed in the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense of $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 relates primarily to the Senior Notes and the Term Loans under our Senior Credit and Second Lien Facilities. Included in interest expense in the second quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2008 was the amortization of deferred financing costs for the Senior Notes and Term Loans and Second Lien Facility for 2009 of $.4 million and $.3 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is related to interest on the Second Lien Facility partially offset by lower interest rates on the Senior Credit Facility in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Income tax expense was $.2 million for the second quarter of 2009 and our effective tax rate was -2.7%. During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a $2.5 million increase to the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets increasing the valuation allowance to $39.6 million as of June 28, 2009. The income tax benefit was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 and our effective tax rate was 37.5%.

Equity in net loss/income of unconsolidated affiliates relates to our joint venture in Beirut.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests relates to our joint ventures in India and certain partnerships.

Net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.5 million as compared to a net loss of $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily the result of a $3.2 million increase in tax expense in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. Without consideration for taxes, the net loss decreased approximately $1.7 million, or 21%. The improvement was primarily the result of reduced commodity costs and lower employee costs, partially offset by the decline in comparable unit sales during the quarter.

Year to Date 2009 versus 2008

Sales by QSR and consolidated other concept restaurants were $152.9 million for the first half of 2009 compared to $160.9 million for the first half of 2008. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable unit sales of 4.9% in our QSR restaurants, lost sales from stores strategically closed of $5.9 million, partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened in 2009 and 2008 of $4.3 million. The decrease in comparable unit sales primarily reflects reduced mall traffic throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment.

Franchise related revenues were $6.8 million for the first half of 2009 compared to $7.7 million for the first half of 2008. The decrease is due to a decline in royalties on international and domestic comparable unit sales.

The cost of cheese in the first half of 2009 averaged $1.39 per pound compared to an average of $2.14 per pound in the first half of 2008. This $.75 per pound decrease in cheese costs accounted for $2.3 million or 1.5% of restaurant sales. The cost of flour in the first half of 2009 averaged $.30 compared to $.42 for the first half of 2008. This $.12 per pound decrease accounted for $.7 million or .5% of restaurant sales.

Payroll and other employee benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased to 28.0% in the first half of 2009 from 29.0% in the first half of 2008. The decrease is due to cost control initiatives implemented in 2009.

Interest expense of $13.3 million for the first half of 2009 and $15.0 million for the first half of 2008 relates primarily to the Senior Notes and the Term Loans under our Senior Credit Facilities. Included in interest expense in first half of 2009 and the first half of 2008 was the amortization of deferred financing costs for the Senior Notes and Term Loan and Second Lien Facility for 2009 of $.7 million and $.6 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is related to lower interest rates on the Senior Credit Facility in the first half of 2009 as compared to the first half of 2008 partially offset by interest on the Second Lien Facility.

Write-off of deferred financing costs of $.4 million in the first half of 2009 related to prepayment of the Senior Credit Facility.

Income tax expense was $.3 million for the first half of 2009 and our effective tax rate was -2.3%.

The improvement was primarily the result of reduced commodity costs and lower employee costs, partially offset by the decline in comparable unit sales during the first half of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal Cash Requirements and Sources

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Merger, and from funding our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures. Cash flow generated during our fourth quarter is critical to achieving positive annual operating cash flow. Adverse macroeconomic factors, including reduced mall traffic during the holiday shopping season and a decline in consumer spending, among other factors, may negatively impact achieving our projected operating cash flow.

Our ability to borrow funds under our revolver is subject to our compliance with our debt covenant requirements. Prior to the amendment to our Senior Credit Facilities, such covenants included an interest coverage ratio and a total net leverage ratio. As of year end, we were in violation of our total net leverage ratio covenant under the credit agreement governing our Senior Credit Facilities. On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of our Term Loan by entering into a new Second Lien Facility (defined and discussed below), permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million, and restricted payment of

MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and, after such goal is obtained, then a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year.

In response to the economic downturn in 2008, we began to implement aggressive strategic initiatives to reduce costs and improve our liquidity. These initiatives, which are ongoing, include closing unprofitable stores, renegotiating store lease terms, reducing headcount, revising our recipes without affecting our customers, as well as other expense controls. We believe these actions will enhance our liquidity going forward and will enable us to be in compliance with our debt covenants under the amended credit agreement and that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under the Senior Credit Facilities, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next year. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

We estimate that our annual cash interest expense under the Senior Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities will be approximately $24 million under the amended Senior Credit Facilities, assuming a 1% LIBOR rate. Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bears interest at 15% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Second Lien Facility requires no principal payments until maturity. Interest is payable quarterly as follows: (i) Prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind; and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00.

The amended Senior Credit Facilities require us to prepay outstanding borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with (a) 75% of our annual excess cash flow; (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions of property (including casualty insurance and condemnations) if we do not commit to reinvest such proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities within 365 days of the event giving rise thereto (or, to the extent we have entered into a commitment to reinvest such proceeds within such time period to the extent such amounts are actually reinvested, within six months of the expiration of such 365 days); and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, other than debt permitted under the Senior Credit Facilities. We invested approximately $.2 million in joint ventures in the first half of 2009. We repaid $7.5 million of the Revolving Facility. We repaid $.5 million in principal per the terms of our Term Loan. We prepaid $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility which satisfies our quarterly obligation for further principal amortization payments on our Senior Credit Facilities. We are not required to make principal payments, absent the occurrence of certain events, on our Senior Notes until they mature in 2015. We believe that aggregate capital expenditures for all of 2009 will approximate $11 million which we expect will be funded with operating cash. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe our cash flows generated from operations along with our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Facility ($5.4 million) will be sufficient for us to meet our debt service requirements, fund working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. If necessary, we may adjust the rate of capital expenditures, acquisitions, or the timing and magnitude of other controllable expenditures to meet such requirements.

In July 2009, Moody’s increased Sbarro’s credit ratings to Caa1 from Caa2 on its Senior Credit Facility, affirmed its C rating on its Senior Notes and affirmed its Ca rating on Corporate.

of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand. Interest on the Second Lien Facility is payable quarterly as follows: (i) Prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind; and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00.

Represents our maximum reimbursement obligations to the issuer of the letters of credit in the event the letters of credit are drawn upon. The letters of credit generally are issued instead of cash security deposits under operating leases or to guarantee construction costs for our locations and for run-out claims under our medical plan. All the standby letters of credit supporting leases are renewable annually through the expiration of the related lease terms. If not renewed, the beneficiary may draw upon the letters of credit as long as the underlying obligation remains outstanding.

Primarily represents the remaining amount we agreed to pay the former shareholders for any incremental tax benefit of deductions generated by the repurchase of our prior 11% Senior Notes or payment of the special event bonuses. The payment is due within 15 days of the filing of the U.S. tax return that claims these additional deductions.

Senior Credit Facilities:

In connection with the Merger, we entered into senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities originally provided for loans of $208.0 million under a $183.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility,” and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding and swing-line loans not to exceed $5.0 million at any one time outstanding. In connection with the Merger, we borrowed the entire $183.0 million available under the Term Loan. On October 17, 2008 and November 18, 2008, we borrowed $8.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, and we repaid $3.5 million and $4.0 million on March 26, 2009 and June 1, 2009, respectively, under the Revolving Facility. The Term Loan Facility matures in 2014 and the Revolving Facility is scheduled to terminate and come due in 2013.

On March 26, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted the Company to refinance a portion of the Term Loan by entering into a new Second Lien Facility (defined and discussed below), permanently waived a breach of our total net leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, permanently replaced our total net leverage ratio covenant and interest coverage ratio covenant with a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, increased the margin on our Term Loan and Revolving Facility by 200 basis points, required prepayment of $25.0 million of the Term Loan from the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility, required prepayment of $3.5 million of the Revolving Facility from cash on hand and simultaneously reduced the Revolving Facility’s amount outstanding and commitment to $21.5 million, and restricted payment of MidOcean’s annual management fee so that such fee will accrue but not be paid until the Company’s annual EBITDA is at least $55.0 million and, after such goal is obtained, then a maximum of $2.0 million of such fees may be paid each year. In the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a $.4 million write-off of deferred financing costs related to the prepayment of the Term Loan. On June 1, 2009, we repaid $4.0 million of the Revolving Facility. There were $3.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 28, 2009. The letters of credit were issued instead of cash security deposits under our operating leases or to guarantee construction costs of our locations, and for run-out claims under our medical plan. As a result, as of June 28, 2009, our remaining borrowing availability under the Senior Credit Facilities was $5.4 million.

In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest based, at our option, at either the LIBOR rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”), in each case plus a margin. Our rate of interest for borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, as amended, is LIBOR plus 4.50% or ABR plus 3.50%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Credit Facilities, we are required to pay an unused line fee to the lenders with respect to the unutilized revolving commitments at a rate that shall not exceed 50 basis points per annum.

Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Credit Facilities are secured by first priority perfected security interests in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, investments, repayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement, as amended, requires compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant.

Second Lien Facility

On March 26, 2009, we entered into a new Second Lien Facility. The Second Lien Facility provides for a $25.5 million secured term loan facility which matures in 2014. The loan under the Second Lien Facility was made by Column Investments S.a.r.l., an affiliate of MidOcean. In connection with closing the Second Lien Facility, we borrowed the entire $25.5 million available under the facility which provided for cash proceeds of $25.0 million (representing a discount).

Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bear interest at 15% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The Second Lien Facility requires no principal payments until maturity. Interest is payable quarterly as follows: (i) Prior to the third anniversary, interest is only payable in kind; and (ii) after the third anniversary, interest is payable in cash so long as the Senior Credit Facilities leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75:1.00. Interest accrued on the Second Lien Facility as of June 28, 2009 was approximately $1.0 million.

Our obligations under the Second Lien Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Second Lien Facility is secured by a second priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ capital stock, and up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility contains certain events of default and restrictive covenants which are customary with respect to facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, dividends, investments, prepayment of certain indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, mergers and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit agreement contains (i) cross-acceleration provisions tied to the Senior Credit Facilities and cross-default provisions tied to the Senior Notes and (ii) compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum EBITDA covenant and a maximum capital expenditure covenant, which are based on the covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facilities with less restrictive thresholds by approximately 15%. The credit agreement also contains a make-whole provision for any prepayment prior to the scheduled maturity date.

In connection with the closing of the Second Lien Facility, Holdings issued immediately exercisable warrants to certain MidOcean entities to acquire 5% of Holdings Units issued and outstanding on the dates of exercise. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the credit agreement governing the Second Lien Facility was $6.3 million and was recorded as paid-in capital with the offset recorded as a discount on the Second Lien Facility which is amortized over the life of the Second Lien Facility.

In connection with the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities and entry into the new Second Lien Facility, we recorded deferred financing costs of $1.9 million.

Long-term debt of $12.5 million is scheduled to mature in 2013 and $330.3 million is scheduled to mature in 2014 and thereafter.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and working capital at the end of the first half of 2009 and 2008 and the sources and uses of our cash flows during the first half of each of those years (in millions):

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 or our line of credit. Since restaurant businesses do not have large amounts of inventory and accounts receivable, there is generally no need to finance such items. As a result, like many other restaurant businesses, we may operate with negative working capital. Working capital decreased by $11.5 million during the first half of 2009 as compared to working capital at the end of 2008 due to our new store openings, capital expenditures and debt issue costs related to the amendment to the Senior Credit Facility. Cash flow from current operations and our line of credit supports our working capital needs.

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million during the six months ended June 28, 2009 as compared to $3.7 million used in operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2008. The increase in net cash used in the six months ended June 28, 2009 is mainly due to a $7.0 million net change in operating assets and liabilities, due primarily to the timing of payment of our current operating liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009. Net cash used in investing activities was $10.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008. Net cash used in the six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 was mostly related to capital expenditures utilized primarily for restaurant openings and renovation activity.

Net cash used in financing activities was $10.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009. This net cash used primarily represents repayment of the Term Loan and Revolver and debt issue costs and payment of fees related to the amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities, net of the proceeds of the Second Lien Facility. The cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008 and was for principal payments on our Term Loan and distributions to noncontrolling interests.

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 our 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 six months ended June 28, 2009, there were no changes in the accounting policies whose application may have a significant effect on our reported results of 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 year ended December 28, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During the first half of 2009, there were no related party transactions other than 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 December 28, 2008.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain risks which exist as part of our ongoing business operation.

We have not purchased 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. We have entered and sometimes will enter into short-term, fixed rate contracts for some products we purchase.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently maintain our cash on hand in FDIC insured non-interest bearing checking accounts which earn an earnings credit rate. We have also invested our cash on hand in FDIC insured overnight cash management savings accounts earning interest based on the 91-day Treasury bill rates or FDIC insured overnight money market savings accounts. The indenture governing the Senior Notes limits the nature of our investments to those of lower risk. Although 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.

The interest rate on borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities is floating and, therefore, is subject to fluctuations. In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest based, at our option, at either a LIBOR rate or an alternative base rate (“ABR”), in each case plus a margin. Currently, our rate of interest for borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, as amended, is LIBOR plus 4.50% or ABR plus 3.50%. A 1% change in our current rate would have an annual effect of approximately $1.7 million. Subsequent to the Merger, we entered into an Interest Rate Cap Letter Agreement with a bank for a portion of our Senior Credit Facilities. This agreement caps our LIBOR rate at 6.50% through February 2010.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

All of our transactions with foreign franchisees have been denominated in, and all payments have been made in, United States dollars, thereby 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 4T. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance, 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, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. As there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within our Company have been detected. Inherent limitations include human errors or misjudgments. Controls also can be circumvented by the intentional acts of individuals or groups.

Changes in Internal Controls 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 quarter ended June 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
