Explanatory
Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the Companys report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2009
is being filed to restate a portion of the Companys long-term debt as current which was previously
reported as long-term. The Company has restated its balance sheet and related schedules for the
correction of an error in the classification of its long-term debt due to the improper application
of the requirements of ASC 470-10 (formerly EITF 86-30). The error arose from the impact of
certain covenant violations on the classification of long-term debt obligations. The standards
require that for situations where a violation is being waived, if the term of the waiver is less
than 12 months and a future violation within that period is probable, such debt must be classified
as current. The restatement affects only the balance sheet as of March 1, 2009 and does not affect
the statement of operations or the statement of cash flows. See Note 6 for further discussion of
the classification of debt. The effect of the restatement is shown below:

PART I
This amendment to the Companys report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2009 is
being filed to restate a portion of the Companys long-term debt as current which was previously
reported as long-term.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Morgans Foods, Inc. (the Company), which was formed in 1925, operates through wholly-owned
subsidiaries KFC restaurants under franchises from KFC Corporation, Taco Bell restaurants under
franchises from Taco Bell Corporation, Pizza Hut Express restaurants under licenses from Pizza Hut
Corporation and an A&W restaurant under a license from A&W Restaurants, Inc. As of May 22, 2009,
the Company operates 68 KFC restaurants, 6 Taco Bell restaurants, 13 KFC/Taco Bell 2n1s under
franchises from KFC Corporation and franchises or licenses from Taco Bell Corporation, 3 Taco
Bell/Pizza Hut Express 2n1s under franchises from Taco Bell Corporation and licenses from Pizza
Hut Corporation, 1 KFC/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a license
from Pizza Hut Corporation and 1 KFC/A&W 2n1 operated under a franchise from KFC Corporation and
a license from A&W Restaurants, Inc. The Companys fiscal
year is a 52 53 week year ending on
the Sunday nearest the last day of February.
Restaurant Operations
The Companys KFC restaurants prepare and sell the distinctive KFC branded chicken products along
with related food items. All containers and packages bear KFC trademarks. The Companys Taco Bell
restaurants prepare and sell a full menu of quick service Mexican food items using the appropriate
Taco Bell containers and packages. The KFC/Taco Bell 2n1 restaurants operated under franchise
agreements from KFC Corporation and license agreements from Taco Bell Corporation prepare and sell
a limited menu of Taco Bell items as well as the full KFC menu while those operated under franchise
agreements from both KFC Corporation and Taco Bell Corporation offer a full menu of both KFC and
Taco Bell items. The Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 restaurants prepare and sell a full menu of
Taco Bell items and a limited menu of Pizza Hut items. The KFC/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 restaurant
prepares and sells a full menu of KFC items and a limited menu of Pizza Hut items. The KFC/A&W
2n1 sells a limited menu of A&W items and a full menu of KFC items.
Of the 92 KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants operated by the Company as of May 22, 2009, 15 are
located in Ohio, 56 in Pennsylvania, 11 in Missouri, 1 in Illinois, 7 in West Virginia and 2 in New
York. The Company was one of the first KFC Corporation franchisees and has operated in excess of
20 KFC franchises for more than 25 years. Operations relating to these units are seasonal to a
certain extent, with higher sales generally occurring in the summer months.
2
Franchise Agreements
All of the Companys KFC and Taco Bell restaurants are operated under franchise agreements with KFC
Corporation and Taco Bell Corporation, respectively. The Companys KFC/Taco Bell 2n1 restaurants
are operated under franchises from KFC Corporation and either franchises or licenses from Taco Bell
Corporation. The Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express 2n1s are operated under franchises from Taco Bell
Corporation and licenses from Pizza Hut Corporation. The KFC/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 restaurant is
operated under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a license from Pizza Hut Corporation. The
KFC/A&W
2n1 is operated under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a license from A&W Restaurants, Inc.
The Company considers retention of these agreements to be important to the success of its
restaurant business and believes that its relationships with KFC Corporation, Taco Bell
Corporation, Pizza Hut Corporation and A&W Restaurants, Inc. are satisfactory. For further
discussion of the requirements of the franchise and license agreements see Other Contractual
Obligations and Commitments in Part II of this report.
In May 1997, the Company renewed substantially all of its then existing franchise agreements for
twenty years. New 20 year franchise agreements were obtained for all 54 restaurants acquired in
July 1999. Subject to satisfying KFC and Taco Bell requirements for restaurant image and other
matters, franchise agreements are renewable at the Companys option for successive ten year
periods. The franchise and license agreements provide that each KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut Express
and A&W unit is to be inspected by KFC Corporation, Taco Bell Corporation, Pizza Hut Corporation
and A&W Restaurants, Inc., respectively, approximately three or four times per year. These
inspections cover product preparation and quality, customer service, restaurant appearance and
operation.
Competition
The quick service restaurant business is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in
consumer tastes; national, regional, or local economic conditions, demographic trends, traffic
patterns; the type, number and locations of competing restaurants and disposable purchasing power.
Each of the Companys KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants competes directly or indirectly with a
large number of national and regional restaurant operations, as well as with locally owned
restaurants, drive-ins, diners and numerous other establishments which offer low- and medium-priced
chicken, Mexican food, pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs to the public.
The Companys KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants rely on innovative marketing techniques and
promotions to compete with other restaurants in the areas in which they are located. The Companys
competitive position is also enhanced by the national advertising programs sponsored by KFC
Corporation, Taco Bell Corporation, Pizza Hut Corporation, A&W Restaurants, Inc. and their
franchisees. Emphasis is placed by the Company on its control systems and the training of
personnel to maintain high food quality and good service. The Company believes that its KFC, Taco
Bell and 2n1 restaurants are competitive with other quick service restaurants on the basis
of the important competitive factors in the restaurant business which include, primarily,
restaurant location, product price, quality and differentiation, and also restaurant and employee
appearance.
3
Government Regulation
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. Each of
the Companys restaurants must comply with licensing and regulation by a number of governmental
authorities, which include health, sanitation, safety and fire agencies in the state or
municipality in which the restaurant is located.
The Company is also subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as employment and pay
practices, overtime and working conditions. The bulk of the Companys employees are paid on an
hourly basis at rates not less than the federal and state minimum wages.
The Company is also subject to federal and state child labor laws which, among other things,
prohibit the use of certain hazardous equipment by employees 18 years of age or younger.
Suppliers
The Companys food is sourced from suppliers approved by its franchisors. Much of this purchasing
is done through a franchisee owned cooperative and the Company contracts for the distribution of
the goods to its restaurants primarily through McLane Foodservice, Inc.
Growth
The Company built a new KFC restaurant and relocated an existing KFC to that facility in fiscal
2009, and built a new KFC/Taco Bell 2n1 and relocated an existing Taco Bell to that facility in
fiscal 2008.
Employees
As of May 13, 2009, the Company employed approximately 2,294 persons, including 51 administrative
and 240 managerial employees. The balance are hourly employees, most of whom are part-time. None
of the Companys employees are represented by a labor union. The Company considers its employee
relations to be satisfactory.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company faces a variety of risks inherent in general business and in the restaurant industry
specifically, including operational, legal, regulatory and product risks. Certain significant
factors that could adversely affect the operations and results of the Company are discussed below.
Other risk factors that the Company cannot anticipate may develop, including risk factors that
the Company does not currently consider to be significant.
Outbreak of Avian Flu or Mad Cow Disease
Due to the Companys reliance on poultry in its menu items, an outbreak of the Avian Flu in
the United States could cause a shortage of chicken or could cause unreasonable
panic in the public related to the consumption of chicken products, either of which would
likely have a significant adverse impact on the Companys business. To a lesser extent the
Company also uses beef in certain of its menu items and the conditions discussed above could
apply to an outbreak of Mad Cow disease.
4
Image Enhancement and Capital Expenditure Requirements
The Company faces significant image enhancement and relocation requirements in future fiscal
years as described under Required Image Enhancements in Part II of this report. There is
no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sale/leaseback or debt financing on
terms which it finds reasonably acceptable to fund these obligations when due. Lack of
acceptable financing could have a material adverse affect on the operations of the Company,
including the loss of restaurants subject to enhancement or relocation requirements under
applicable franchise agreements.
Contamination of the Food Supply
The food supply in general is subject to the accidental or intentional introduction of
contaminants which can cause illness or death in humans. To the extent that the Companys
food supplies become impacted by any of these contaminants, the Companys revenue could be
significantly reduced and the Company could be subjected to related liability claims.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various commercial activities in the operation of its restaurants.
These activities may generate the potential for legal claims against the Company. While
many of these risks are covered by insurance, the costs of litigating large claims and any
potential resulting uninsured liability could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
results of operations.
Environmental Liabilities
In operating its restaurants, the Company is the owner of many real estate parcels.
Environmental problems at any of these sites could cause significant costs and liabilities
for the Company.
Food and Labor Cost Increases
The Company is exposed to numerous cost pressures in the operation of its restaurants
including food, fuel and minimum wage increases. To the extent that the business environment
prohibits the Company from passing on these increased costs in its selling prices, there
could be a material negative impact on the results of operations.
Product and Marketing Success of Franchisors
The Company relies heavily on the success of its franchisors in developing products and
marketing programs which support its revenues. Failure of the franchisors to provide
appropriate support could have a significant negative impact on the Companys financial
performance.
Governmental Laws and Regulations
The operations of the Company are subject to many Federal, state and local regulations
governing health, sanitation, workplace safety, public access, wages and benefits among other
things. We are also subject to various privacy and security regulations. Changes to any of
these regulations can have a significant adverse impact on the operations of the Company.
5
Quick Service Restaurant Competition
The quick service restaurant industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive and
consumers have many choices other than the Companys restaurants. Changes in consumer tastes
or preferences could have a significant adverse impact on the operations of the Company.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not applicable.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company leases approximately 6,000 square feet of space for its corporate headquarters in
Cleveland, Ohio. The lease expires December 31, 2011 and the rent under the current term is $6,300
per month. The Company also leases space for a regional office in Youngstown, Ohio, which is used
to assist in the operation of the KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants.
Of the 92 KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants, the Company owns the land and building for 48
locations, owns the building and leases the land for 22 locations and leases the land and building
for 22 locations. 47 of the owned properties are subject to mortgages. Additionally, the Company
leases the land and building for one closed location and owns the land and building for four closed
locations, two of which are subject to mortgages. Two of the closed locations are leased to an
operator of an independent local restaurant concept. Remaining lease terms (including renewal
options) range from 1 to 40 years and average approximately 13 years. These leases generally
require the Company to pay taxes and utilities, to maintain casualty and liability insurance, and
to keep the property in good repair. The Company pays annual rent for each leased KFC, Taco Bell
or 2n1 restaurant in amounts ranging from $21,000 to $130,000. In addition, nine of these leases
require payment of additional rentals based on a percentage of gross sales in excess of certain
base amounts. Sales for eight KFC, Taco Bell and 2n1 restaurants exceeded the respective base
amounts in fiscal 2009.
The Company believes that its restaurants are generally efficient, well equipped and maintained and
in good condition.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As
discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources and in Notes 2 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company has restated the March 1, 2009 balance sheet for the classification of
long-term debt.
Results of Operations
During fiscal 2008 through 2009 the Company operated KFC franchised restaurants, Taco Bell
franchised restaurants and various 2n1 restaurants which include the KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut
and A&W concepts in
10
the states of Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New
York. The average number of restaurants in operation during each fiscal year was 95 in 2009 and
97 in 2008.

Revenues
Revenue was $92,485,000 in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $3,833,000, or 4.0%, compared to fiscal
2008. The $3,833,000 decrease in restaurant revenues during fiscal 2009 was due mainly to a 2.6%
decrease in comparable restaurant revenues, $1,830,000 in revenues in the fifty-third week of the
Companys 2008 fiscal year and $1,201,000 of revenue lost from restaurants either temporarily or
permanently closed, partially offset by $1,019,000 of additional revenue from new restaurants.
The decrease in comparable restaurant revenue resulted from difficult economic conditions in the
Companys geographic markets and the lack of effective new products and promotions from our
franchisors.
Revenues for the 16 weeks ended March 1, 2009, were $25,716,000, a decrease of $2,793,000 compared
to the 17 weeks ended March 2, 2008 primarily resulting from a 3.0% decrease in comparable
restaurant revenues, $1,830,000 in revenues for the seventeenth week in the fourth quarter of the
Companys 2008 fiscal year and $515,000 of lost revenue from restaurants either temporarily or
permanently closed, partially offset by $321,000 of revenue from a new restaurant.
Cost of Sales Food, Paper and Beverage
Food, paper and beverage costs were $29,695,000, or 32.1% of revenues, in fiscal year 2009 compared
to $29,524,000, or 30.7% of revenues, in fiscal year 2008. These results reflect the historically
high levels of commodity prices during most of fiscal 2009 causing unusually high food costs
compounded by lower average restaurant volumes resulting in reduced efficiency.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, food, paper and beverage costs increased as a percentage of
revenues to 31.1% from 30.9% in the fourth quarter fiscal 2008. The increase of 0.2% was primarily
caused by inefficiencies due to lower average restaurant volumes during the fiscal 2009 period.
Cost of Sales Labor and Benefits
Labor and benefits increased to 29.0% of revenues or $26,850,000 in fiscal 2009 from 28.5% of
revenues or $27,404,000 in fiscal 2008 primarily due to lower efficiency caused by lower average
restaurant volumes.
11
Labor and benefit costs for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased to 30.2% of revenues or
$7,754,000 compared to 30.9% of revenues or $8,801,000 in fiscal 2008. This percentage decrease was
primarily the result of more aggressive labor scheduling creating a reduction in hours worked.
Restaurant Operating Expenses
Restaurant operating expenses increased to 26.0% as a percentage of revenues or $24,068,000 in
fiscal 2009 from 25.3% of revenues or $24,415,000 in fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily
caused by higher rent due to the conversion of 5 previously owned locations to leased locations
through sale/leaseback transactions as well as increases in operating supplies.
Restaurant operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 increased as a percentage of
revenues to 27.0% or $6,945,000 from 26.0% of revenues or $7,399,000 in the year earlier quarter.
This increase was primarily caused by the items discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2009 at $3,224,000 was an increase from fiscal 2008 at
$2,953,000. The increase was the result of $8,215,000 of capital additions in fiscal 2008 related
primarily to the Companys image enhancement program having a full year of depreciation expense
during the 2009 fiscal year, as well as an additional $3,626,000 of capital additions in fiscal
2009.
Depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $871,000 compared to
$960,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to $57,000 of
additional expense in the 2008 fiscal quarter because it contained 17 weeks compared to 16 for the
current year quarter as well as lower depreciation from the movement of certain assets to assets
held for sale and the sale of one location in the current year period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased to $5,740,000, or 6.2% of revenues, in fiscal 2009
from $6,111,000, or 6.3% of revenues, in fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of decreases in the
number of salaried positions, lower bonuses paid out and lower field training expenses.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, general and administrative expenses were $1,838,000, or 7.2%
of revenues compared to $1,829,000 or 6.4% of revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The
results include $108,000 of additional expense for the seventeenth week in the 2008 quarter offset
by $88,000 of stock based compensation expense and other minor expense increases in the 2009
quarter.
Loss on Restaurant Assets
The Company had a loss on restaurant assets of $417,000 in fiscal 2009 compared to $112,000 in
fiscal 2008. The fiscal 2009 loss primarily reflects losses recognized for movements of fixed
assets to assets held for sale and a charge of $245,000 for asset impairment write downs.
12
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 the Company had a loss on restaurant assets of $430,000
compared to $36,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase is due to asset impairment
write downs partially offset by the proceeds of the sale of one restaurant.
Operating Income
Operating income in fiscal 2009 decreased to $2,491,000 from $5,799,000 in fiscal 2008 primarily as
a result of the items discussed above.
Interest Expense
Prepayment and Deferred Financing Costs
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company completed a set of financing transactions
involving: 1) the sale leaseback of five of its restaurant properties, 2) equipment debt supported
by five additional restaurants and 3) the payment, before their maturity, of nine existing loans
secured by certain of the properties. The Company retired approximately $1,532,000 of debt, paid
$222,000 of prepayment charges and administrative fees and wrote off approximately $31,000 of
unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the loans being retired early. The Company
received approximately $5,188,000 of proceeds from the sale leasebacks, net of origination fees and
costs, and approximately $2,961,000 of net proceeds from the equipment loan. In order to
facilitate the sale leaseback transaction, the Company also purchased, for $350,000, a parcel,
which it previously leased, adjacent to one of the restaurant locations. After restructuring the
property, the Company has listed it for sale. The leases are structured as operating leases and
have a primary term of 18 years with annual rent ranging from approximately $448,000 to $577,000.
The equipment loan has a variable rate based on a spread over 90 day LIBOR, a term of five years
and an amortization period of ten years. Additionally, the Company paid, before their maturity,
four other fixed rate loans having a total principal balance of $919,000. In doing so, the Company
incurred $165,000 of prepayment penalties and wrote off $9,000 of unamortized deferred financing
costs related to the loans. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 the Company sold a property and
paid the debt before maturity to facilitate the sale. The debt balance was $298,000, prepayment
and administrative expenses were $93,000 and unamortized deferred financing costs were $4,000. All
of the deferred financing costs are non-cash charges.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company completed the funding of two loan agreements
totaling $12,600,000, the proceeds of which were used to retire $10,901,000 of debt before its
scheduled maturity. This transaction is described in more detail in Note 5 to the consolidated
financial statements. As a result of the early payment, the Company was required to pay
prepayment penalties and administrative fees of $1,718,000 and write off $154,000 of unamortized
deferred financing costs remaining from the origination of the loans in fiscal 2000. The
deferred financing costs are a non-cash charge.
Bank and Capitalized Lease Interest Expense
Interest expense on bank debt and notes payable decreased to $3,190,000 in fiscal 2009 from
$3,472,000 in fiscal 2008. The decrease in interest expense for fiscal 2009 was the result of
principal payments which reduced the outstanding debt balances and a reduction in the Companys
average interest rate due to the refinancing transactions in late fiscal 2008 and early fiscal
2009. Interest expense from capitalized lease debt
13
decreased slightly to $111,000 in fiscal 2009
from $125,000 in fiscal 2008 as a result of the removal of a capitalized lease during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2008.
Other Income
Other income decreased to $336,000 in fiscal 2009 compared to $433,000 in fiscal 2008 primarily due
to the reduced rate of return on the investment of available cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes
The current tax provision consists of federal tax benefit of $(63,000) for fiscal 2009 and state
and local taxes for fiscal 2009 and 2008 of $6,000 and $14,000, respectively. The current federal
tax benefit is a result of employment tax credits that have been carried back to offset taxes
previously paid. The deferred tax provision for fiscal 2009 and 2008 is $448,000 and $335,000,
respectively and resulted from a change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and an
increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite lived intangible assets for book
purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow activity for fiscal 2009 and 2008 is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows. Cash used in operating activities was $98,000 for the year ended March 1, 2009 compared to
cash provided by operating activities of $4,856,000 for the year ended March 2, 2008. The decrease
in operating cash flow was primarily the result of lower net income, an increase in receivables and
a decrease in accounts payable. The Company paid long-term bank debt of $5,769,000 in fiscal 2009,
compared to payments of $13,691,000 in fiscal 2008, which included the refinancing of approximately
$10,901,000 of existing debt. Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt were $3,003,000 during
fiscal 2009. There were no proceeds from stock option exercises in fiscal 2009, compared to
$220,000 in fiscal 2008. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2009 were $3,626,000 compared to
$8,215,000 in fiscal 2008. This decrease is primarily a result of 16 fewer restaurants being image
enhanced during the current year. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 are expected to be
approximately $1,500,000.
Approximately $13,444,000 of the Companys variable rate debt is classified as current due to
certain covenant violations. The normal terms of such debt indicate that periodic principal
payments are required through 2013. This balance sheet presentation of the debt balances is
required by the application of ASC 470-10 (formerly EITF 86-30) but management does not believe
this presentation to be representative of the Companys expected timing of the future debt
payments. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage and equipment loans and the maintenance
of individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. Certain loans also require a consolidated funded debt (debt balance plus
a calculation based on operating lease payments) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and rent ratio of 5.5 or less. Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by
dividing the cash flow before rent and debt service for the previous 12 months by the debt service
and rent due in the coming 12 months. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed
quarterly. At the end of fiscal 2009, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated
fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 or with the funded debt to EBITDAR
14
ratio of 5.5 but has obtained
waivers of the non-compliance from the applicable lenders. Also, at the end of fiscal 2009 the
Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge coverage ratio on 19 of its
restaurant properties and has obtained waivers with respect to the non-compliance from the
applicable lender. All payments on the Companys debt have been and continue to be current and
management believes that the Company will continue to be able to service the debt.
Waivers of non-compliance were obtained with respect to an aggregate of $33,639,000 of debt
outstanding at March 1, 2009. Of this amount, waivers with respect to $19,095,000 of debt continue
through the end of fiscal 2010, and, therefore, such debt has been classified as long-term at March
1, 2009. As the waiver related to the remaining $14,544,000 of debt does not continue through the
end of fiscal 2010, and a future violation within that period was probable, such debt has been
classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2009. If the
Company does not comply with the covenants of its various debt agreements in the future, and if
future waivers are not obtained, the respective lenders will have certain remedies available to
them which include calling the debt and the acceleration of payments. Noncompliance with the
requirements of the Companys debt agreements, if not waived, could also trigger cross-default
provisions contained in the respective agreements.
In July, 2009, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement covering a portion of its
debt and obtained appropriate waivers of financial covenant non-compliance on the remainder of its
debt so that the Companys debt as of May 24, 2009, the end of its first fiscal quarter of fiscal
2010, will be classified as current or long term based on contractual payment terms. The Company
expects to be in compliance with its modified loan covenants throughout fiscal 2010.
Market Risk Exposure
Certain of the Companys debt comprising approximately $14.5 million of principal balance has a
variable rate which is adjusted monthly. A one percent increase in variable rate base (90 day
LIBOR) of the loans at the beginning of the year would cost the Company approximately $145,000 in
additional annual interest costs. The Company may choose to offset all, or a portion of the risk
through the use of interest rate swaps if they are available. The Companys remaining borrowings
are at fixed interest rates, and accordingly the Company does not have market risk exposure for
fluctuations in interest rates relative to those loans. The Company does not enter into derivative
financial investments for trading or speculation purposes. Also, the Company is subject to
volatility in food costs as a result of market risk and we manage that risk through the use of a
franchisee purchasing cooperative which uses longer term purchasing contracts. Our ability to
recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment
in which we operate. The Company believes that its market risk exposure is not material to the
Companys financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Other Contractual Obligations and Commitments
For KFC products, the Company is required to pay royalties of 4% of gross revenues and to expend an
additional 5.5% of gross revenues on national and local advertising pursuant to its franchise
agreements. For Taco Bell products in KFC/Taco 2n1 restaurants operated under license agreements
from Taco Bell Corporation and franchise agreements from KFC Corporation, the Company is required
to pay royalties of 10% of Taco Bell gross revenues and to make advertising fund contributions of
1/2% of Taco Bell gross revenues. For Taco Bell product sales in restaurants operated under Taco
Bell franchises the Company is required to pay royalties of 5.5% of gross revenues and to expend an
additional 4.5% of gross revenues on
15
national and local advertising. For Pizza Hut products in
Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 restaurants the Company is required to pay royalties of 5.5% of
Pizza Hut gross revenues and to expend an additional 4.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues on national
and local advertising. For A&W products in 2n1 restaurants the Company is required to pay
royalties of 7% of A&W gross revenues and to expend an additional 4% of A&W gross revenues on
national and local advertising. Total royalties and advertising, which are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of restaurant operating expenses, were $9,433,000 and
$9,569,000 in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Required Capital Expenditures
The Company is required by its franchise agreements to periodically bring its restaurants up to the
required image of the franchisor. This typically involves a new dining room décor and seating
package and exterior changes and related items but can, in some cases, require the relocation of
the restaurant. If the Company deems a particular image enhancement expenditure to be inadvisable,
it has the option to cease operations at that restaurant. Over time, the estimated cost and time
deadline for each restaurant may change due to a variety of circumstances and the Company revises
its requirements accordingly. Also, significant numbers of restaurants may have image enhancement
deadlines that coincide, in which case, the Company will adjust the actual timing of the image
enhancements in order to facilitate an orderly construction schedule. During the image enhancement
process, each restaurant is closed for one to two weeks, which has a negative impact on the
Companys revenues and operating efficiencies. At the time a restaurant is closed for a required
image enhancement, the Company may deem it advisable to make other capital expenditures in addition
to those required for the image enhancement.
The franchise agreements with KFC and Taco Bell Corporation require the Company to upgrade and
remodel its restaurants to comply with the franchisors current standards within agreed upon
timeframes. In the case of a restaurant containing two concepts, even though only one is required
to be remodeled, additional costs will be incurred because the dual concept restaurant is generally
larger and contains more equipment and signage than the single concept restaurant. If a property
is of usable size and configuration, the Company can perform an image enhancement to bring the
building to the current image of the franchisor. If the property is not large enough to fit a
drive-thru or has some other deficiency, the Company would need to relocate the restaurant to
another location within the trade area to meet the franchisors requirements. In four of the
Companys restaurants, one of the franchisors may have the ability to accelerate the deadline for
image enhancements. In order to meet the terms and conditions of the franchise agreements, the
Company has the following obligations which are unaudited:

|
These amounts are based on estimates of current construction costs and actual costs may vary. |
|
(2) |
|
These amounts include only the items required to meet the franchisors image requirements. |
|
(3) |
|
These amounts are for capital upgrades performed on or which may be performed on the image enhanced restaurants which were or
may be deemed by the Company to be advantageous to the operation of the units and
which may be done at the time of the image enhancement. |
|
(4) |
|
Relocation of fee owned properties are shown net of expected recovery of capital from the sale of the former location.
Relocation of leased properties assumes the capital cost of only equipment because it
is not known until each lease is finalized whether the lease will be
a capital or operating lease. |
Capital expenditures to meet the image requirements of the franchisors and additional capital
expenditures on those same restaurants being image enhanced are a large portion of the Companys
annual capital expenditures. However, the Company also has made and may make capital expenditures
on restaurant properties not included on the foregoing schedule for upgrades or replacement of
capital items appropriate for
the continued successful operation of its restaurants. The Company may not be able to finance
capital expenditures in the volume and time horizon required by the image enhancement deadlines
solely from existing cash balances and existing cashflow and the Company expects that it will have
to utilize financing for a portion of the capital expenditures. The Company may use both debt and
sale/leaseback financing but has no commitments for either.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish the image enhancements and
relocations required in the franchise agreements on terms acceptable to the Company. If the
Company is unable to meet the requirements of a franchise agreement, the franchisor may choose to
extend the time allowed for compliance or may terminate the franchise agreement.
Seasonality
The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the Companys
revenues and income have been highest during the summer months with the fourth fiscal quarter
representing the
17
slowest period. This seasonality is primarily attributable to weather conditions
in the Companys marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois,
West Virginia and New York. Also, the fourth fiscal quarter contains the only two holidays for
which the Companys restaurants are closed, contributing to lower sales in the period.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys reported results are impacted by the application of certain accounting policies that
require it to make subjective or complex judgments or to apply complex accounting requirements.
These judgments include estimations about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and
may significantly impact its quarterly or annual results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows. Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly affect results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows in future years. The Company believes that its critical
accounting policies are as follows:
|
|
Estimating future cash flows and fair value of assets associated with assessing potential
impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets and projected compliance with debt
covenants. |
|
|
Determining the appropriate valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and reserves for
potential tax exposures. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion
of income taxes. |
|
|
Applying complex lease accounting requirements to the Companys capital and operating
leases of property and equipment. The Company leases the building or land, or both, for
nearly one-half of its restaurants. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of lease accounting. |
New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157
apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those years for financial assets and liabilities, and for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The
Companys adoption of SFAS No. 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities has not had a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures. The
Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157 with respect to non-financial assets
and liabilities on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the
year beginning March 3, 2008 for the Company. The Company has determined not to utilize the fair
value option provided in SFAS No. 159 for any of its financial assets or financial liabilities.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-an amendment to FASB Statement 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced
18
disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities and the reasons for using them. SFAS No. 161
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, the year beginning March 2, 2009
for the Company. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 161 to determine any impact
for the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R modifies the
accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be
recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date
of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase
accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as
incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset
and the requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase
accounting. SFAS No. 141R is required to be adopted prospectively effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008.
Safe Harbor Statements
Portions of this document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Such statements include those identified by such words as may, will, expect
anticipate, believe, plan and other similar terminology. The forward-looking statements
reflect the Companys current expectations, are based upon data available at the time of the
statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include both those specific to the Company and general economic and industry factors.
Factors specific to the Company include, but are not limited to, its debt covenant compliance,
actions that lenders may take with respect to any debt covenant violations, its ability to obtain
waivers of any debt covenant violations, its ability to pay all of its current and long-term
obligations and those factors described in Part I Item 1.A.(Risk Factors).
Economic and industry risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited, to, franchisor
promotions, business and economic conditions, legislation and governmental regulation, competition,
success of operating initiatives and advertising and promotional efforts, volatility of commodity
costs and increases in minimum
wage and other operating costs, availability and cost of land and construction, consumer
preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Certain of the Companys debt comprising approximately $14.5 million of principal balance has a
variable rate which is adjusted monthly. A one percent increase in variable rate base (90 day
LIBOR) of the loans at the beginning of the year would cost the Company approximately $145,000 in
additional annual interest costs. The Company may choose to offset all, or a portion of the risk
through the use of interest rate swaps if they are available. The Companys remaining borrowings
are at fixed interest rates, and accordingly the Company does not have market risk exposure for
fluctuations in interest rates relative to those loans. The Company does not enter into derivative
financial investments for trading or speculation purposes. Also, the Company is subject to
volatility in food costs as a result of market risk and we manage that risk through the use of a
franchisee purchasing cooperative which uses longer term purchasing contracts. Our ability to
recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment
in which
19
we operate. The Company believes that its market risk exposure is not material to the
Companys financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Morgans Foods, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Morgans Foods, Inc. (an Ohio
corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 1, 2009 and March 2, 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 6, the Company has restated its March 1, 2009 Consolidated Balance
Sheet to reflect the correction of an error in the classification of certain long-term debt
obligations.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Morgans Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 1,
2009 and March 2, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MORGANS FOODS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 1, 2009, March 2, 2008
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Description of Business Morgans Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) operate 68 KFC
restaurants, 6 Taco Bell restaurants, 13 KFC/Taco Bell 2n1 restaurants, 3 Taco Bell/Pizza Hut
Express 2n1 restaurants, 1 KFC/Pizza Hut Express 2n1 and 1 KFC/A&W 2n1, in the states of
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. The Companys fiscal year is a
52-53 week year ending on the Sunday nearest the last day of February.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions pending completion of related events. These estimates and assumptions include the
recoverability of tangible and intangible asset values, the probability of receiving insurance
proceeds, projected compliance with financing agreements and the realizability of deferred tax
assets. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported at the date of the financial
statements for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue as customers pay for products at the time of
sale. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies, such as sales taxes,
are not included in revenue.
Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was
$5,521,000 and $5,483,000 for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company generally carries
cash balances at financial institutions which are in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.
Inventories Inventories, principally food, beverages and paper products, are stated at the lower
of aggregate cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
buildings and improvements 3 to 20 years; equipment, furniture and fixtures 3 to 10 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over 3 to 15 years, which is the shorter of the life of the
asset or the life of the lease. The asset values of the capitalized leases are amortized using the
straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases which range from 5 to 20 years.
Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever there is an indication of
potential impairment, including quarterly assessments of any restaurant with negative cash flows.
If
27
the property and equipment of a restaurant on a held and used basis are not recoverable based upon
forecasted, undiscounted cash flows, the assets are written down to their fair value. Management
uses a valuation methodology to determine fair value, which is the sum of the restaurants business
value and real estate value. Business value is determined using a cash flow multiplier based upon
market conditions and estimated cash flows of the restaurant. Real estate value is generally
determined based upon the discounted market value of implied rent of the owned assets. Management
believes the carrying value of property and equipment, after impairment write-downs, will be
recovered from future cash flows.
Deferred Financing Costs Costs related to the acquisition of long-term debt are capitalized and
expensed as interest over the term of the related debt. Amortization expense was $122,000 and
$100,000 for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. The balance of deferred financing costs was
$580,000 at March 1, 2009 and $711,000 at March 2, 2008 and is included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets.
Franchise Agreements Franchise agreements are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed on the
straight-line method over the term of the franchise agreement. The Companys franchise agreements
are predominantly 20 years in length.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost of acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable
assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to assessment for
impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment or at least annually as of fiscal year end
by applying a fair value based test.
Advance on Supply Agreements In conjunction with entering into contracts that require the Company
to sell exclusively the specified beverage products for the term of the contract, the Company has
received advances from the supplier. The Company amortizes advances on supply agreements as a
reduction of food, paper and beverage cost of sales over the term of the related contract using the
straight-line method. These advances of $662,000 and $345,000 at March 1, 2009 and March 2, 2008,
respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets net of
$201,000 and $787,000 included in accrued liabilities as of such date.
Lease Accounting Operating lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the term
of the lease for those leases with fixed escalations. The difference between the scheduled amounts
and the straight-line amounts is accrued. These accruals of $426,000 and $395,000 at March 1, 2009
and March 2, 2008, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets net of $65,000 and $55,000 included in accrued liabilities as of such date.
Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss before tax for financial
reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized in the future, based on an evaluation
of historical and projected profitability. Effective February 26, 2007, we adopted FASB
Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more
likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be
sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Upon adoption, we determined that the provisions of FIN 48
28
did not have a material effect on prior financial statements and therefore no change was made to
the opening balance of retained earnings. FIN 48 also requires that changes in judgment that
result in subsequent recognition, derecognition or change in a measurement of a tax position taken
in a prior annual period (including any related interest and penalties) be recognized as a discrete
item in the period in which the change occurs. It is the Companys policy to include any penalties
and interest related to income taxes in its income tax provision, however, the Company currently
has no penalties or interest related to income taxes. The earliest year that the Company is
subject to examination is the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004.
Stock-Based Compensation In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.
The Company adopted these provisions effective February 27, 2006 utilizing the modified prospective
application method, and determined that there was no effect on options outstanding at the time of
adoption as all options issued and outstanding at February 27, 2006 were fully vested. For the
fiscal year ended March 1, 2009 the Company reported $88,000 of compensation expense relating to
stock options issued on November 6, 2008, the first stock options granted after the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R. See Note 9 for further discussion.
NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION OF DEBT
The Company has restated its balance sheet and related schedules for the correction of an error in
the classification of its long term debt due to the improper application of the requirements of ASC
470-10 (formerly EITF 86-30). The error arose from the impact of certain covenant violations on
the classification of long-term debt obligations. The standards require that for situations where
a violation is being waived, if the term of the waiver is less than 12 months and a future
violation within that period is probable, such debt must be classified as current. The restatement
affects only the balance sheet as of March 1, 2009 and does not affect the statement of operations
or the statement of cash flows. See Note 6 for further discussion of the classification of debt.

NOTE 3. LOSS ON RESTAURANT ASSETS
The Company had a loss on restaurant assets of $417,000 in fiscal 2009 compared to $112,000 in
fiscal 2008. The fiscal 2009 loss primarily reflects loss realized from movements of fixed assets
to assets held for sale, and a $245,000 charge for asset impairment write downs.
NOTE 4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and intangibles
with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization, but are subject to assessment for impairment
whenever there is an indication of impairment or, at least annually as of the Companys yearend by
applying a fair value based test. The Company has five reporting units for the purpose of
evaluating goodwill impairment which are based on the geographic market areas of its restaurants.
These five reporting units are Youngstown, OH, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, PA, St Louis, MO and
Erie, PA. The Company has performed the annual
29
goodwill impairment tests during fiscal 2009 and 2008 and determined that the fair value of each
reporting unit was greater than its carrying value at each date.

The Companys intangible asset amortization expense relating to its franchise agreements was
$166,000 and $151,000 for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The estimated intangible
amortization expense for each of the next five years is $145,000 per year.
The decrease in franchise agreements in fiscal 2009 resulted from $9,000 in new agreements offset
by the write off of agreements for closed restaurants.

Approximately $13,444,000 of the Companys variable rate debt is classified as current due to
certain covenant violations. The normal terms of such debt indicate that periodic principal
payments are required through 2013. This balance sheet presentation of the debt balances is
required by the application of ASC 470-10 (formerly EITF 86-30) but management does not believe
this presentation to be representative of the Companys expected timing of the future debt
payments. The amounts shown in the As Restated column above are reflective of the presentation
required by the application of ASC 470-10 while the expected, contractual payment schedule is
shown in the By Contract column.
The Company paid interest relating to long-term debt of approximately $3,262,000 and $3,436,000 in
fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company completed a set of financing transactions
involving: 1) the sale/leaseback of five of its restaurant properties, 2) equipment debt supported
by five additional restaurants and 3) the payment, before their maturity, of nine existing loans
secured by certain of the properties. The Company retired approximately $1,532,000 of debt, paid
$222,000 of prepayment charges and administrative fees and wrote off approximately $31,000 of
unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the loans being retired early. The Company
received approximately $5,188,000 of proceeds from the sale/leasebacks, net of origination fees and
costs, and approximately $2,961,000 of net proceeds from the equipment loan. In order to
facilitate the sale/leaseback transaction, the Company also purchased, for $350,000, a parcel,
which it previously leased, adjacent to one of the restaurant locations. After restructuring the
property, the Company has listed it for sale. The leases are structured as operating leases and
have a primary term of 18 years with annual rent ranging from approximately $448,000 to $577,000.
The loan has a variable rate based on a spread over 90 day LIBOR, a term of five years and an
amortization period of ten years. Additionally, the Company paid, before their maturity, four
other fixed rate loans having a total principal balance of $919,000. In doing so, the Company
incurred $165,000 of prepayment penalties and wrote off $9,000 of unamortized deferred financing
costs related to the loans. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 the Company sold a property and
paid the debt before maturity to facilitate the sale. The debt balance was $298,000, prepayment
and administrative expenses were $93,000 and unamortized deferred financing costs were $4,000. All
of the write offs of deferred financing costs are non-cash charges.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company completed the funding of two loan agreements
totaling $12,600,000, the proceeds of which were used to retire $10,901,000 of debt before its
scheduled maturity. As a result of the early payment, the Company was required to pay prepayment
penalties and administrative fees of $1,718,000 and write off $154,000 of unamortized deferred
financing costs
32
remaining from the origination of the loans in fiscal 2000. The write offs of
deferred financing costs are a non-cash charge.
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage and equipment loans and the maintenance
of individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. Certain loans also require a consolidated funded debt (debt balance plus
a calculation based on operating lease payments) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and rent ratio of 5.5 or less. Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by
dividing the cash flow before rent and debt service for the previous 12 months by the debt service
and rent due in the coming 12 months. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed
quarterly. At the end of fiscal 2009, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated
fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 or with the funded debt to EBITDAR ratio of 5.5 but has obtained
waivers of the non-compliance from the applicable lenders. Also, at the end of fiscal 2009 the
Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge coverage ratio on 19 of its
restaurant properties and has obtained waivers with respect to the non-compliance from the
applicable lender. All payments on the Companys debt have been and continue to be current and
management believes that the Company will continue to be able to service the debt.
Waivers of non-compliance were required and obtained with respect to an aggregate of $33,639,000 of
debt outstanding at March 1, 2009. Of this amount, waivers with respect to $19,095,000 of debt
continue through the end of fiscal 2010, and, therefore, such debt has been classified as long-term
at March 1, 2009. As the waiver related to the remaining $14,544,000 of debt does not continue
through the end of fiscal 2010, and another waiver related to this debt was required and obtained
with respect to the next measurement period at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010, such
debt has been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 1,
2009. If the Company does not comply with the covenants of its various debt agreements in the
future, and if future waivers are not obtained, the respective lenders will have certain remedies
available to them which include calling the debt and the acceleration of payments. Noncompliance
with the requirements of the Companys debt agreements, if not waived, could also trigger
cross-default provisions contained in the respective agreements.
In July, 2009, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement covering a portion of its
debt and obtained appropriate waivers of financial covenant non-compliance on the remainder of its
debt so that the Companys debt as of May 24, 2009, the end of its first fiscal quarter of fiscal
2010, will be classified as current or long term based on contractual payment terms. The Company
expects to be in compliance with its modified loan covenants throughout fiscal 2010.

The Companys operating leases for restaurant land and buildings are noncancellable and expire on
various dates through 2028. The leases have renewal options ranging from 1 to 40 years. Certain
restaurant land and building leases require the payment of additional rent equal to an amount by
which a percentage of annual sales exceeds annual minimum rentals. Total contingent rentals were
$91,000 and $118,000 in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Future noncancellable minimum rental
payments under operating leases at March 1, 2009 are as follows: 2010 $2,434,000; 2011
$2,237,000; 2012 $2,107,000; 2013 $1,867,000; 2014 $1,506,000 and an aggregate $12,155,000
for the years thereafter. Rental expense for all operating leases was $2,349,000 and $2,126,000
for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in restaurant operating expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations.
For KFC products, the Company is required to pay royalties of 4% of gross revenues and to expend an
additional 5.5% of gross revenues on national and local advertising pursuant to its franchise
agreements. For Taco Bell products in KFC/Taco 2n1 restaurants operated under license agreements
from Taco Bell Corporation and franchise agreements from KFC Corporation, the Company is required
to pay royalties of 10% of Taco Bell gross revenues and to make advertising fund contributions of
1/2% of Taco Bell gross revenues. For Taco Bell product sales in restaurants operated under Taco
Bell franchises the Company is required to pay royalties of 5.5% of gross revenues and to expend an
additional 4.5% of gross revenues on
34
national and local advertising. For Pizza Hut products in Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express 2n1
restaurants the Company is required to pay royalties of 5.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues and to
expend an additional 4.5% of Pizza Hut gross revenues on national and local advertising. For A&W
products in 2n1 restaurants the Company is required to pay royalties of 7% of A&W gross revenues
and to expend an additional 4% of A&W gross revenues on national and local advertising. Total
royalties and advertising, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations as part
of restaurant operating expenses, were $9,433,000 and $9,569,000 in fiscal 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The Company is required by its franchise agreements to periodically bring its restaurants up to the
required image of the franchisor. This typically involves a new dining room décor and seating
package and exterior changes and related items but can, in some cases, require the relocation of
the restaurant. If the Company deems a particular image enhancement expenditure to be inadvisable,
it has the option to cease operations at that restaurant. Over time, the estimated cost and time
deadline for each restaurant may change due to a variety of circumstances and the Company revises
its requirements accordingly. Also, significant numbers of restaurants may have image enhancement
deadlines that coincide, in which case, the Company will adjust the actual timing of the image
enhancements in order to facilitate an orderly construction schedule. During the image enhancement
process, each restaurant is closed for one to two weeks, which has a negative impact on the
Companys revenues and operating efficiencies. At the time a restaurant is closed for a required
image enhancement, the Company may deem it advisable to make other capital expenditures in addition
to those required for the image enhancement.
The franchise agreements with KFC and Taco Bell Corporation require the Company to upgrade and
remodel its restaurants to comply with the franchisors current standards within agreed upon
timeframes. In the case of a restaurant containing two concepts, even though only one is required
to be remodeled, additional costs will be incurred because the dual concept restaurant is generally
larger and contains more equipment and signage than the single concept restaurant. If a property
is of usable size and configuration, the Company can perform an image enhancement to bring the
building to the current image of the franchisor. If the property is not large enough to fit a
drive-thru or has some other deficiency, the Company would need to relocate the restaurant to
another location within the trade area to meet the franchisors requirements. In four of the
Companys restaurants, one of the franchisors may have the ability to accelerate the deadline for
image enhancements. In order to meet the terms and conditions of the franchise agreements, the
Company has the following obligations which are unaudited:

These amounts include only the items required to meet the franchisors image requirements. |

Relocation of fee owned properties are shown net of expected recovery of capital from the sale of the former location.
Relocation of leased properties assumes the capital cost of only equipment because it is not
known until each lease is finalized whether the lease will be a
capital or operating lease. |
Capital expenditures to meet the image requirements of the franchisors and additional capital
expenditures on those same restaurants being image enhanced are a large portion of the Companys
annual capital expenditures. However, the Company also has made and may make capital expenditures
on restaurant properties not included on the foregoing schedule for upgrades or replacement of
capital items appropriate for the continued successful operation of its restaurants. The Company
may not be able to finance capital expenditures in the volume and time horizon required by the
image enhancement deadlines solely from existing cash balances and existing cashflow and the
Company expects that it will have to utilize financing for a portion of the capital expenditures.
The Company may use both debt and sale/leaseback financing but has no commitments for either.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish the image enhancements and
relocations required in the franchise agreements on terms acceptable to the Company. If the
Company is unable to meet the requirements of a franchise agreement, the franchisor may choose to
extend the time allowed for compliance or may terminate the franchise agreement.
NOTE 8. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period which totaled 2,934,995 and 2,911,448
for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the
combined weighted
36
average number of shares and dilutive stock options outstanding during the period which
totaled 2,943,415 and 2,968,654 for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. In computing diluted net
income (loss) per common share, the Company has utilized the treasury stock method.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
The current tax provision consists of federal tax benefit of $63,000 for fiscal 2009 and state and
local tax provisions for fiscal 2009 and 2008 of $6,000 and $14,000, respectively. The current
federal tax benefit is a result of employment tax credits that have been carried back to offset
taxes previously paid. The deferred tax provision for fiscal 2009 and 2008 is $448,000 and
$335,000, respectively and resulted from a change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets and an increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite lived intangible
assets for book purposes.
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes and income taxes calculated at the statutory tax
rate of 34% is as follows:

The valuation allowance increased $846,000 and $11,000 during fiscal years 2009 and 2008,
respectively from a change in judgment regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets.
At March 1, 2009, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards which, if not utilized, will
expire as follows:

The net operating loss carryforwards include $438,000 attributable to stock options exercised where
the tax benefit has not yet been realized. The tax benefit of $171,000 will be credited to equity
if realized. The Company also has alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryforwards of
$3,309,000 that will expire, if not utilized, in varying amounts through fiscal 2029. These
carryforwards are available to offset up to 90% of alternative minimum taxable income that would
otherwise be taxable. As of March 1, 2009, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of $108,000 and employment tax credit carryforwards of $176,000.
In connection with the provisions of FIN 48, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all
of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as
all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The earliest year that the Company is subject to
federal and state examination is the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004.
Upon adopting the provisions of FIN 48, the Company believed that its income tax filing positions
and deductions would be sustained on audit and did not anticipate any adjustments that would result
in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax
positions were recorded and the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to
the adoption of FIN 48. In addition, the Company has not recorded a reserve related to FIN 48
during fiscal year 2009 and does not expect a material change in the next 12 months of unrecognized
tax benefits. There are also no amounts that if recognized would affect the Companys annual
effective tax rate.
It is the Companys policy to include any interest and penalties related to income taxes in its
income tax provision, however, the Company currently has no interest or penalties related to income
taxes.
NOTE 10. STOCK OPTIONS AND SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
On April 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Stock Option Plan for Executives
and Managers. Under the plan 145,500 shares were reserved for the grant of options. The Stock
Option Plan for Executives and Managers provides for grants to eligible participants of
nonqualified stock options only. The exercise price for any option awarded under the Plan is
required to be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date that the
option is granted. Options are granted by the Stock Option Committee of the Company. Options for
145,150 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company on April 2, 1999 at an
exercise price of $4.125 and options for 350 shares were granted on November 6, 2008 at
38
an exercise price of $1.50. The plan provides that the options are exercisable after a
waiting period of 6 months and that each option expires 10 years after its date of issue.
At the Companys annual meeting on June 25, 1999 the shareholders approved the Key Employees Stock
Option Plan. This plan allows the granting of options covering 291,000 shares of stock and has
essentially the same provisions as the Stock Option Plan for Executives and Managers which was
discussed above. Options for 129,850 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company
on January 7, 2000 at an exercise price of $3.00. Options for 11,500 shares were granted to
executives on April 27, 2001 at an exercise price of $.85. Options for 149,650 shares were granted
to executives on November 6, 2008 at an exercise price of $1.50. As of March 1, 2009, no options
were available for grant under either plan.
Prior to February 27, 2006, the Company applied APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its option grants for employees. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment. The Company has adopted these provisions effective February 27, 2006
utilizing the modified prospective application method, and has determined that there is no effect
on options outstanding at the time of adoption as all options issued and outstanding at February
27, 2006 were fully vested. For the fiscal year ended March 1, 2009 the Company reported $88,000
of compensation expense relating to stock options issued on November 6, 2008, the first stock
options granted after the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The calculation of compensation expense was
made using the simplified method with a volatility of 70 percent and a risk free rate of 4.299
percent and resulted in total compensation expense of $143,000 to be recognized over the vesting
period of the options. The remainder of the compensation expense of $55,000 will be recorded in
the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
No options were granted during fiscal year 2008. During fiscal 2009 no options were exercised.
During fiscal 2008 options covering 54,000 shares were exercised at various prices. As of March
1, 2009, there were 70,000 options outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price
of $4.00 per share and 150,000 options outstanding but not exercisable. At March 2, 2008, there
were 124,000 options outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $4.03 per
share.

On April 8, 1999, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in which the Board of Directors
declared a distribution of one Right for each of the Companys outstanding Common Shares. Each
Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a Series A Preferred
Share (a Preferred Share) at a purchase price of $30.00 per Right, subject to adjustment. One
one-thousandth of a Preferred Share is intended to be approximately the economic equivalent of one
Common Share. During fiscal 2008 the Board of Directors voted to extend the term of its
Shareholder Rights Plan to April 7, 2014 and to make several technical amendments to the Plan.
Previously the Plan had an expiration date of April 7, 2009.
The Rights will expire on April 7, 2014, unless redeemed by the Company as described below.
39
The Rights are neither exercisable nor traded separately from the Common Shares. The Rights will
become exercisable and begin to trade separately from the Common Shares if a person or group,
unless approved in advance by the Company Board of Directors, becomes the beneficial owner of 21%
or more of the then-outstanding Common Shares or announces an offer to acquire 21% or more of the
then-outstanding Common Shares.
If a person or group acquires 21% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, then each Right not
owned by the acquiring person or its affiliates will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Rights
then-current exercise price, fractional Preferred Shares that are approximately the economic
equivalent of Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, Common Shares, cash, property or other
securities of the Company) having a market value equal to twice the then-current exercise price.
In addition, if, after the Rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or other
business combination transaction with an acquiring person or its affiliates or sells 50% or more of
its assets or earnings power to an acquiring person or its affiliates, each Right will entitle its
holder to purchase, at the Rights then-current exercise price, a number of shares of the acquiring
persons common stock having a market value of twice the Rights exercise price. The Board of
Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right, subject to
certain limitations.
NOTE 11. 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Plan in which employees age 21 or older are eligible to
participate. The Company makes a 30% matching contribution on employee contributions of up to 6%
of their salary. During fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $67,000 and $90,000,
respectively, in expenses for matching contributions to the plan.
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys debt is reported at historical cost, based upon stated interest rates which
represented market rates at the time of borrowing. Due to subsequent declines in credit quality
throughout the restaurant industry resulting from weak and volatile operating performance and
related declines in restaurant values, the market for fixed rate mortgage debt for restaurant
financing is currently extremely limited. The Companys debt is not publicly traded and there are
few lenders or financing transactions for similar debt in the marketplace at this time.
Consequently, management has not been able to identify a market for fixed rate restaurant mortgage
debt with a similar risk profile, and has concluded that it is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of the Companys debt as of March 1, 2009.
NOTE 13. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157
apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those years for financial assets and liabilities, and for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Companys adoption of SFAS No. 157 with respect
to financial assets and liabilities has not had a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or related disclosures. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of
SFAS No. 157 with respect to non-financial assets and liabilities on its financial position,
results of operations and related disclosures.
40
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the
year beginning March 3, 2008 for the Company. The Company has determined not to utilize the fair
value option provided in SFAS No. 159 for any of its financial assets or financial liabilities.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-an amendment to FASB Statement 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities and the reasons for using them. SFAS No. 161
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, the year beginning March 2, 2009
for the Company. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 161 to determine any impact
for the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R modifies the
accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be
recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date
of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase
accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as
incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset
and the requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase
accounting. SFAS No. 141R is required to be adopted prospectively effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) carried out an evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other
of our employees, of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act))
as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys
management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 1, 2009 because of the material weakness
in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below. Notwithstanding the material
weakness described below, our management has concluded that the Companys consolidated financial
statements included in the report are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on America.
42
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The CEO and CFO also have concluded that in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 1,
2009, there was a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which caused certain of the Companys
debt to be classified as non-current when such debt should properly have been classified as
current. As a result, for each subsequent reporting period, Management will prepare or cause to be
prepared, a memo detailing the application of accounting principles relating to the classification
of debt to each of its long term debt facilities and conclude as to proper balance sheet
classification.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). In
evaluating the Companys internal control over financial reporting, management has adopted the
framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 1,
2009. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our
management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting as of March 1, 2009.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. As of March 1, 2009, we did not maintain effective controls over the
application of accounting principles relative to balance sheet classification of our debt
obligations. This control deficiency did result in a material misstatement of the current and
long-term portions of our debt obligations in the financial statements included in our originally
filed Form 10-K for the year ended March 1, 2009 that was not prevented or detected. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Companys internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to
the Companys management and directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for the external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
43
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Companys evaluation of
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the
Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only this report.
