NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANACIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANACIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
We, Famous Daves of America, Inc. (Famous Daves or the Company), were incorporated in
Minnesota on March 14, 1994. We develop, own, operate and franchise restaurants under the name
Famous Daves. As of July 1, 2007, there were 152 restaurants operating in 35 states, including
40 company-owned restaurants and 112 franchise-operated restaurants. An additional 155 franchise
restaurants were committed to be developed through signed area development agreements at July 1,
2007.
We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) Rules and Regulations. These unaudited financial statements represent the
consolidated financial statements of Famous Daves and its subsidiaries as of July 1, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 and for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006. The
information furnished in these financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and
reflects all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our fiscal 2006 Form
10-K as filed with the SEC.
Due to the seasonality of our business, revenue and operating results for the three and six
months ended July 1, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
(2) Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS equals net
income divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus
all additional common stock equivalents, such as stock options, when dilutive.
Following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

(3) Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund and Restricted Cash
We have established a system-wide Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund.
Company-owned restaurants, in addition to franchise-operated restaurants governed by franchise
agreements signed after January 1, 2004, are required to contribute a percentage of net sales,
currently 1.0%, to the fund that is used for Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund
efforts throughout the system. Additionally, certain payments received from various vendors are
deposited into the public relations and marketing fund. We reflect the cash related to this fund
in restricted cash, and the liability in accounts payable, on our consolidated balance sheets. The
assets held by this fund were approximately $1.4 million at both July 1, 2007 and December 31,
2006.
(4) Credit Facility
On July 31, 2006, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively known as the
Borrower) entered into an amendment and restatement of an existing Credit Agreement with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the Lender). The Credit
Agreement, which amended and restated an agreement previously entered into by the Company on
January 28, 2005, increased the Companys existing revolving credit facility from $10.0 million to
$20.0 million (the Facility). Principal amounts outstanding under the Facility bear interest
either at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or at a Base Rate plus an
applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined in the agreement as either the Federal Funds Rate
(5.25% at July 1, 2007) plus 0.5% or Wells Fargos prime rate (8.25% at July 1, 2007). The
applicable margin will depend on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of
the previous quarter and will range from 1.75% to 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and from -0.25%
to +0.50% for Base Rate loans. Unused portions of the Facility will be subject to an unused
Facility fee which will range from 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused portion, depending on the
Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio. Our rate for the unused portion of the Facility as of July 1,
2007, was 0.25%.
We expect to use borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general working capital purposes,
as well as for the repurchase of shares under our share repurchase authorization. Under the
Facility, we have granted the Lender a security interest in all current and future personal
property.
The Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of
this type, including limitations on the Borrower with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments,
distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates of
the Borrower, among others. The Facility also includes various financial covenants. We were in
compliance with all covenants under the Facility as of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
In addition to changes in the aggregate loan amount and applicable interest rates, the amended
Credit Agreement provides for up to $3.0 million in letters of credit to be used by the Company,
with any amounts outstanding, reducing the availability for general corporate purposes and also
allows for the termination of the Facility by the Borrower without penalty at any time after the
second anniversary of the effective date. The maturity date for this new Facility is July 31,
2011. We had no borrowings under this Facility as of July 1, 2007, however, we had $500,000 in
Letters of Credit as required by our fiscal 2005 self-funded medical insurance policy, which
reduced our borrowing capacity under the Facility as of July 1, 2007. We had no borrowings under
this Facility as of December 31, 2006, however, we had $500,000 in Letters of Credit as required by
our fiscal 2005 self-funded medical insurance policy as of December 31, 2006.

(5) Stock Options, Performance Shares, Other Forms of Compensation, and Common Share
Repurchases
We have a 1995 Stock Option and Compensation Plan, a 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, a 1998
Director Stock Option Plan and a 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans), pursuant to which we may
grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, and other
stock and cash awards to eligible participants. We have also granted stock options outside of the
Plans in limited situations, however, all of these grants have been previously exercised. Under
the Plans, an aggregate of 269,300 shares of our Companys common stock remained available for
issuance at July 1, 2007. In general, the stock options we have issued under the Plans vest over a
period of 3 to 5 years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The 1995 Stock Option and
Compensation Plan expired on December 29, 2005, but will remain in effect until all outstanding
incentives granted thereunder have either been satisfied or terminated. The 1997 Employee Stock
Option Plan expired on June 24, 2007, but will remain in effect until all outstanding shares
granted thereunder have either been satisfied or terminated.

Performance Shares
We have a program under which management and certain director-level Associates may be granted
performance shares under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to certain contingencies. Issuance
of the shares underlying the performance share grants is contingent upon the Company achieving a
specified minimum percentage of the total of the cumulative earnings per share goals (as determined
by the Compensation Committee) for each of the three fiscal years covered by the grant (the
Cumulative EPS Goal). Upon achieving the minimum percentage, and provided that the recipient
remains an employee during the entire three-year performance period, the Company will issue the
recipient a percentage of the performance shares that is based upon the percentage of the
Cumulative EPS Goal achieved. No portion of the shares will be issued if the specified percentage
of earnings per share goals is achieved in any one or more fiscal years but not for the cumulative
three-year period.
No recipient will have any rights as a shareholder based on the performance share grants
unless and until the conditions have been satisfied and the shares have been issued to the
recipient. In accordance with this program, we recognize as compensation expense, the value of
these stock grants as they are earned in our Consolidated Statements of Operations throughout the performance period.

(5) Stock Options, Performance Shares, Other Forms of Compensation, and Common Share
Repurchases (continued)
As of July 1, 2007, we currently have three performance share programs in progress. All of
these performance share awards qualify for equity-based treatment under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R. Accordingly, we recognize compensation cost for these
share-based awards based on their fair value at the time of grant over the requisite service period
(i.e. fixed treatment). On February 18, 2004 our Board of Directors awarded 33,500 (subsequently
reduced to 27,500 due to Associate departures) performance share grants to eligible Associates for
the fiscal 2004-fiscal 2006 timeframe. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we issued 24,683
shares out of this 2004-2006 performance share program, representing the achievement of
approximately 90% of the target payout for this program. Recipients elected to forfeit 8,307 of
those shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations, resulting in a net issuance of 16,376 shares.
On February 25, 2005, our Board of Directors awarded 134,920 (subsequently reduced to 110,105
due to Associate departures) performance share grants to eligible Associates for the fiscal
2005-fiscal 2007 timeframe. Under this program, if the Company achieves at least 80% of the
Cumulative EPS Goal, each recipient shall be entitled to receive a percentage of the Performance
Shares equal to the percentage of the Cumulative EPS Goal achieved by the Company, up to a maximum
of 100%. On December 29, 2005, our Board of Directors awarded 83,200 (subsequently reduced to
72,300 due to Associate departures) performance share grants to eligible Associates for the fiscal
2006-fiscal 2008 timeframe. Similar to the fiscal 2005-fiscal 2007 program, if the Company
achieves at least 80% of the Cumulative EPS Goal, each recipient shall be entitled to receive a
percentage of the Performance Shares equal to the percentage of the Cumulative EPS Goal achieved by
the Company. However, if the Company achieves between 100% and 150% of the Cumulative EPS Goal,
each recipient will be entitled to receive an additional percentage of the Target number of
performance shares granted equal to twice the incremental percentage increase in the Cumulative EPS
Goal over 100% (e.g., if the Company achieves 120% of the Cumulative EPS Goal, then the recipient
will be entitled to receive 140% of his or her Target performance share amount). On February 21,
2007, our Board of Directors awarded 96,100 performance share grants to eligible Associates for the
fiscal 2007-fiscal 2009 timeframe. Similar to the fiscal 2006-fiscal 2008 program, if the Company
achieves at least 80% of the Cumulative EPS Goal, each recipient shall be entitled to receive a
percentage of the Performance Shares equal to the percentage of the Cumulative EPS Goal achieved by
the Company, and each recipient will be entitled to receive an additional percentage of the
Target number of performance shares granted equal to twice the incremental percentage increase in
the Cumulative EPS Goal over 100% if the Company achieves between 100% and 150% of the Cumulative
EPS Goal.
Deferred Stock Unit Plan
We have an Executive Elective Deferred Stock Unit Plan (Deferred Stock Unit Plan), in which
executives can elect to defer all or part of their compensation or commissions, if applicable, for
a specified period of time. The amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number
of stock units, as determined by the share price of our common stock on the date the annual bonuses
are approved by the Board
of Directors. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, this plan qualifies for liability treatment.
Accordingly, we recognize compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that
the share price of our common stock increases, and reduce compensation expense throughout the
deferral period to the extent that the share price of our common stock decreases (i.e. mark to
market).
Several of our executives elected to defer a portion of their 2004 bonuses, the amount of
which was determined on February 25, 2005 totaling approximately $77,000, of which approximately $25,000
had been subsequently paid out early, in accordance with the Deferred Stock Unit Plan discussed
above. As a result of the increase in the share price of our common stock during the second
quarter of fiscal 2006, we

recognized
approximately $1,000 and approximately $9,000 of compensation expense in our Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 respectively, as related to
this plan. These bonuses, including the original amount deferred and the amounts earned over the
deferral period due to an increase in the stock price, were paid out during the first quarter of
fiscal 2007.
Several of our executives elected to defer a portion of their 2005 bonuses, the amount of
which was determined on February 22, 2006, totaling approximately $56,000, in accordance with the
Deferred Stock Unit Plan discussed above. We had recognized a credit of approximately $1,000 and a
credit of approximately $2,000 for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, respectively,
related to these deferrals. These bonuses, including the original amount deferred and the amounts
earned over the deferral period, were paid out during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
One of our executives elected to defer for a two-year period, a portion of their fiscal 2006
bonus, the amount of which was determined on February 21, 2007, totaling approximately $71,000, in
accordance with the Deferred Stock Unit Plan discussed above. We recognized expense of
approximately $16,000 and $13,000 for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, respectively, as
related to this bonus deferral.
Board of Directors Compensation
In February 2007, we awarded our independent board members shares of common stock for their
service on our board for fiscal 2007. These shares were fully vested upon grant and were
unrestricted, but require repayment of the prorated portion or equivalent value thereof, in cash,
in the event of a board member not fulfilling their term of service. In total, 25,500 shares were
issued on February 21, 2007, on which date the price of our common stock at the close of market was
$18.74. The total compensation cost of approximately $478,000 is reflected in general and
administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2007, equally by
quarter.
In May 2006, we awarded our independent board members shares of common stock for their service
on our board for fiscal 2006. These shares were fully vested upon grant and were unrestricted, but
required reimbursement of the prorated portion or equivalent value thereof in the event of a board
member not fulfilling their term of service. All board members fulfilled their terms of service
during fiscal 2006. In total, 19,300 shares were issued on May 11, 2006, on which date the price
of our common stock at the close of market was $15.71. Since this issuance date was subsequent to
the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006, there was no compensation cost reflected in general
and administrative costs in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. The compensation cost of approximately $303,000 for these shares was spread over the
remainder of fiscal 2006.

On May 9, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that authorized
the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of our common stock to be repurchased from time to time
in both the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of July 1, 2007, we had
repurchased 763,122 shares under the program for approximately $12.3 million at an average market
price of $16.07, excluding commissions. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we repurchased
86,292 shares under the program for approximately $1.8 million at an average market price of
$20.74, excluding commissions. For the six months ended July 1, 2007, we repurchased 151,692

(6) | Retirement Savings Plans |
401(k) Plan
We have a pre-tax salary reduction/profit-sharing plan under the provisions of Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. We
match 50.0% of the employees contribution up to 4.0% of their earnings. Employee contributions
were approximately $145,000 and $117,000 for the second quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Employee contributions were approximately $270,000 and $229,000 for the six months
ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, respectively. Employer matching contributions were $43,000
and $36,000 for the second quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Employer matching
contributions were approximately $81,000 and $69,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, respectively. There were no
discretionary contributions to the Plan during the three or six months ended July 1, 2007 and July
2, 2006.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective as of February 25, 2005 (the

(6) Retirement Savings Plans (continued)
Eligible participants are those employees who are at the director level and above and who are
selected by the Company to participate in the Plan. Participants must complete a deferral election
each year to indicate the level of compensation (salary, bonus and commissions) they wish to have
deferred for the coming year. This deferral election is irrevocable except to the extent permitted
by the Plan Administrator, and the Regulations promulgated by the IRS. The Company matches 50.0%
of the first 4.0% contributed and currently pays a declared interest rate of 8.0% on balances
outstanding. The Board of Directors administers the Plan and could change the rate or any other
aspects of the Plan at any time.
Deferral periods are capped at the earlier of termination of employment or not less than three
calendar years following the end of the applicable Plan Year. Extensions of the deferral period
for a minimum of five years are allowed provided the election is made at least one year before the
first payment affected by the change. Payments can be in a lump sum or in equal payments over a
two-, five- or ten-year period, plus interest from the commencement date.
The Plan assets are kept in an unsecured account that has no trust fund. In the event of
bankruptcy, any future payments would have no greater rights than that of an unsecured general
creditor of the Company and they confer no legal rights for interest or claim on any assets of the
Company. Benefits provided by the Plan are not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC) under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), because the
pension insurance provisions of ERISA do not apply to the Plan.
For the second quarter ended July 1, 2007, eligible participants contributed approximately
$57,000 to the Plan, and the Company provided matching funds and interest of approximately $22,000.
For the second quarter ended July 2, 2006, eligible participants contributed approximately $60,000
to the Plan, and the company provided matching funds and interest of approximately $17,000. For
the six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, eligible participants contributed approximately
$132,000 and $130,000, respectively, to the Plan and the Company provided matching funds and
interest of approximately $42,000 and $30,000, respectively.
(7) Acquisition of Florence, Kentucky Restaurant
On January 23, 2006, we acquired the assets comprising our Florence, Kentucky
franchise-operated location from Best Que, LLC, the former franchise operator. The acquisition
costs were approximately $972,000, which were comprised of a cash payment of $155,000 plus the
forgiveness and cancellation of certain debts owed by the Seller to the Company and the expenditure
of certain fees and expenses including legal and other professional fees in connection with the
sale. The acquisition was pursuant to an asset purchase agreement entered into on May 11, 2005.
Because the franchisee/seller had previously filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the purchase was contingent upon, among other things, the
entry of a final and non-appealable order from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Kentucky approving the sale. On January 20, 2006, a final and non-appealable approval
order was entered by the Court authorizing the closing of the transaction. The restaurant is
currently being marketed to potential franchisees, and will be operated as a company-owned property
until the assets are sold to a new franchise operator. The acquisition costs are reflected as
assets held for sale within property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net, in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

(8) Payoff of Notes Payable
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we repaid approximately $1.0 million in notes payable
related to our Tulsa, Oklahoma company-owned restaurant in advance, which resulted in an
approximate $12,000 non-cash charge to write-off deferred financing fees.
On May 31, 2006, we elected to repay two notes prior to their expiration, related to our
Addison, Illinois and Lincoln, Nebraska company-owned restaurants. A total of approximately $3.0
million was paid to retire these notes early. We recorded a non-cash charge of approximately
$148,000 to write-off deferred financing fees as a result of the early payoff.
(9) Sale of Rogers, Arkansas Restaurant
On June 4, 2007, we sold our company-owned restaurant in Rogers, Arkansas to a new franchise
partner, Famous Bar-B-Que, for approximately $1.8 million. In conjunction with this sale, this
franchise partner obtained development agreements for four more locations in Arkansas and
Texarkana, Texas. In conjunction with this transaction, we recorded $40,000 for the area
development fee for the sale of the territory for 4 units, plus the franchise fee of $40,000 for
the Rogers restaurant. We recorded a loss of approximately $62,000 on the transaction due to the
write-off of restaurant inventory and other miscellaneous items provided to the new owner as part
of the sale.
(10) Asset Impairment
In June 2006, we recorded an asset impairment of approximately $282,000 on assets then
held-for-sale, to reflect the assets at their fair market value, based on a pending sale at that
time. In addition, we took an impairment charge during the second quarter of 2006 for an
underperforming company-owned restaurant, in Chicago, Illinois, that closed subsequent to the end
of the second quarter. In conjunction with the closing of this restaurant, we recorded an
impairment charge of approximately $502,000 in the second quarter of 2006, reflecting the non-cash,
write-down of asset values related to the closed restaurant. The closure did not result in or
require any further significant cash expenditures except for continued lease costs. We sublease
the real property on which the closed restaurant is located under a lease that expires in November
of 2010. We have a balance of $250,000 for future lease commitments, including lease obligations,
common area maintenance and real estate taxes on our balance sheet as a current liability at July
1, 2007. We are currently listing this location with a real estate broker and are actively seeking
a sub-tenant for the property.

(12) Income Taxes Adoption of Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Bound (FASB) issued Financial
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining a minimum recognition threshold that an individual tax
position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprises
financial statements. Additionally, this Interpretation provides guidance on measurement,
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure,
and transition.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, on January 1, 2007. At the adoption date,
the Company applied FIN No. 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained
open. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company has not recognized a material
liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and there is no related effect to our effective tax
rate. There was no reserve necessary at December 31, 2006 or July 1, 2007.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state
jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the
related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Generally, the statue
of limitations is closed for tax years preceding fiscal 2003. However, due to the net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards from prior periods, the Company may be subject to U.S. federal, state or
local, income tax examinations by tax authorities to review the losses related to the NOL
generating years back to 2003.
The Company is currently under examination by several state jurisdictions for years prior to
fiscal 2006. The Company expects those examinations to be concluded and settled within the next 12
months. The Company does not expect any significant adjustments as a result of these audits.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest
expense and penalties in operating expenses, none of which has been accrued to date in relation to
FIN 48.

(13) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115. This standard permits an
entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible
items at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company as of
December 31, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact this pronouncement will have on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years.
This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
the related disclosure requirements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this
statement on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
(14) Subsequent Events
In July 2007, our franchise partner, Famous Ribs of Georgia, exchanged 13,000 shares of Famous
Daves of America, Inc. common stock to meet their obligation under a note agreement for a payment
of $300,000, due July 1, 2007. The stock was valued at $289,250 based on the closing price of
Famous Daves of America, Inc. stock on June 29, 2007. The additional amount due, equal to
$10,750, was paid in cash.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Famous Daves of America, Inc. was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in March 1994 and
opened its first restaurant in Minneapolis in June 1995. As of July 1, 2007, there were 152 Famous
Daves restaurants operating in 35 states, including 40 company-owned restaurants and 112
franchise-operated restaurants. An additional 155 franchise restaurants were in various stages of
development as of July 1, 2007.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31st. Our fiscal year is
generally 52 weeks; however, it periodically consists of 53 weeks. The fiscal years ending
December 30, 2007 (fiscal 2007) and December 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006), are both 52 week fiscal years.
Revenue
Our revenue consists of restaurant sales, franchise-related revenue, and licensing and other
revenue. Our franchise-related revenue is comprised of area development fees, initial franchise
fees, and continuing royalty payments. Our area development fee to secure the territory consists
of a non-refundable payment equal to $10,000 per restaurant in consideration for the services we
perform in preparation of executing each area development agreement. Substantially all of these
services which include, but are not limited to, conducting market and trade area analysis, a
meeting with Famous Daves Executive Team, and performing potential franchise background
investigation, all of which are completed prior to our execution of the area development agreement
and receipt of the corresponding area development fee. As a result, we recognize this fee in full
upon receipt. Our initial franchise fee is typically $40,000 per restaurant, of which $5,000 is
recognized immediately when a franchise agreement is signed, reflecting the commission earned and
expenses incurred related to the sale. The remaining $35,000 is included in deferred franchise
fees and is recognized as revenue, when a franchisee has secured a site, meaning a lease has been
executed or a property purchase agreement has been signed, at which time we have substantially
performed all of our obligations. Franchisees are also required to pay us a monthly royalty equal
to a percentage of their net sales, which has historically varied from 4% to 5%. Currently, most
new franchises pay us a royalty of 5% of their net sales. Licensing revenue includes royalties
from a retail line of business, including sauces, seasonings, rubs, and marinades. Other revenue
includes opening assistance and training we provide to our franchise partners. Costs and expenses
associated with these services are included in general and administrative expense. Comparable
sales represent net sales for restaurants open year-round for 18 months or more.
Costs and Expenses
Restaurant costs and expenses include food and beverage costs, operating payroll and employee
benefits, occupancy costs, repair and maintenance costs, supplies, advertising and promotion, and
restaurant depreciation and amortization. Certain of these costs and expenses are variable and
will increase or decrease with sales volume. The primary fixed costs are corporate and restaurant
management salaries and occupancy costs. Our experience is that when a new restaurant opens, it
incurs higher than normal levels of labor and food costs until operations stabilize, usually during
the first three to four months of operation. As restaurant management and staff gain experience
following a restaurants opening, labor scheduling, food cost management and operating expense
control are improved to levels similar to those at our more established restaurants.

FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include all support center and administrative functions
that provide an infrastructure to support existing operations and support future growth. Salaries,
bonuses, Associate benefits, legal fees, accounting fees, consulting fees, travel, rent and general
insurance are major items in this category. Additionally, we record expense for Managers In
Training (MITs) in this category for approximately seven weeks prior to a restaurant opening.
We also provide franchise services for which the revenue is included in other revenue and the
expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.
The following table presents items in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a

Our Rib Team travels around the country introducing people to our brand of barbeque and builds brand awareness. |
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and
notes, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Total Revenue
Total revenue of approximately $33.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased
approximately $2.8 million or 9.1% over revenue of approximately $30.7 million for the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2006. For the six months ended July 1, 2007, total revenue of approximately
$62.5 million increased approximately $4.7 million, or 8.1% over revenue of approximately $57.8
million, for the six months ended July 2, 2006. This increase reflects new restaurant revenue
growth, a 16.0% increase in franchise royalty revenue and a 1.5% increase in comparable
company-owned restaurant sales.
17
Table of Contents
FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Restaurant Sales, net
Restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were approximately $28.7 million,
compared to approximately $26.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2006, reflecting an 8.5%
increase. Restaurant sales for the six months ended July 1, 2007 were approximately $53.7 million
compared to approximately $49.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006. This increase is
largely the result of the opening of new company-owned restaurants in Waldorf, Maryland and Coon
Rapids, Minnesota in the latter half of fiscal 2006, and an increase in comparable sales of 3.5% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Franchise-Related Revenue
Franchise-related revenue consists of royalty revenue and franchise fees, which include
initial franchise fees and area development fees. Franchise-related revenue was approximately $4.4
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, representing a 10.0% increase over the comparable
period of 2006, reflecting increased royalties. Royalty revenue, which is based on a percent of
franchise-operated restaurant net sales, increased 15.7% reflecting the 17 net franchise
restaurants that opened since July 2, 2006. There were 112 franchise-operated restaurants opened
at July 1, 2007 compared to 95 at July 2, 2006. Franchise-related revenue was approximately $8.3
million for the six months ended July 1, 2007 compared to approximately $7.7 million for the six
months ended July 2, 2006, reflecting an increase in royalty revenue of 16.0% over the six months
ended July 2, 2006.
Licensing and Other Revenue
Licensing revenue includes royalties from a retail line of business, including sauces, rubs,
marinades and seasonings. Other revenue includes opening assistance and training we provide to our
franchise partners. For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, licensing royalty revenue was
approximately $126,000 compared to approximately $113,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2006.
Licensing royalty revenue was approximately $198,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2007 as
compared to $172,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2006. Other revenue for the fiscal 2007
second quarter was approximately $310,000 compared to $181,000 for the comparable prior year
quarter. The increase is due to more restaurants opening in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
the second quarter of 2006 requiring more opening assistance. Other revenue for the first six
months of 2007 was $336,000 compared to $292,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2006. The
amount of other revenue is expected to remain essentially flat for fiscal 2007, as compared to
fiscal 2006 levels, based on the level of opening assistance we may be required to provide during
the remaining franchised openings planned for the latter half of fiscal 2007.
Same Store Net Sales
It is our policy to include in our same store net sales base, restaurants that are open year
round and have been open at least 18 months. Same store net sales for company-owned restaurants
for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 3.5%, compared to fiscal 2006s second quarter
increase of 1.2%. For the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, there were 36 and 38
restaurants, respectively, included in the company-owned comparable sales base. Comparable store
net sales results included the favorable impact of a 1.2% price increase taken in June 2007.
Same store net sales for franchise-operated restaurants for the second quarter of 2007
decreased 3.3%, compared to a decrease of 5.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the
second quarter of 2007 and 2006 there were 73 and 55 restaurants, respectively, included in the
franchise-operated comparable sales base. Same store net sales for franchise-operated restaurants
for the six months ended July 1, 2007 decreased approximately 4.3% compared to a decrease of
approximately 3.2% for the prior year comparable period. Due to our significant opening volumes,
we believe that there is a longer honeymoon period for our restaurants than what would typically be
seen in casual dining. At the thirty and thirty-six month timeframe, franchise comparable sales
results for the second quarter, while still negative, are reduced by half as compared to the
results reported for the 18 month timeframe. We continue to work with our franchise partners to
identify opportunities to minimize the impact of the honeymoon effect, including targeted marketing
efforts and capitalizing on off-premise sales occasions.

We continue to demonstrate our category leadership in off-premise sales. Catering and TO GO
accounted for 34.5% of 2007s second quarter sales compared with 33.4% for the second quarter of
2006.
Food and Beverage Costs
Food and beverage costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were approximately $8.7 million
or 30.2% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $8.0 million or 30.3% of net restaurant
sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Food and beverage costs for the six months ended July
1, 2007 were approximately $16.3 million or 30.3% of net restaurant sales, compared to
approximately $15.0 million or 30.3% of net restaurant sales for the comparable period of fiscal
2006. As a percentage of dine-in sales, our adult beverage sales at our company-owned restaurants
for the first six months was 9.5% for 2007 as compared to 10.0% for 2006.
We believe that we are protected for the remainder of fiscal 2007 due to contractual pricing
on our core proteins and expect that food and beverage costs as a percentage of net restaurant
sales will remain flat to prior years percentage. However, we will continue to watch commodity
prices closely due to the potential for future increases in our proteins due to rising corn prices.
Labor and Benefits Costs
Labor and benefits costs for the second quarter ended July 1, 2007 were approximately $8.3
million or 29.0% of net restaurant sales, compared to approximately $7.4 million or 27.9% of net
restaurant sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2006. A portion of the fluctuation is due to
timing differences of workers compensation insurance adjustments. Additionally, the increase
reflects higher health insurance claims in 2007 compared to 2006. Labor and benefits for the six
months ended July 1, 2007 were approximately $15.8 million or 29.5% of net restaurant sales,
compared to approximately $14.6 million or 29.3% of net restaurant sales for the six months ended
July 2, 2006. On an annual basis, we expect labor and benefits as a percentage of net restaurant
sales to increase slightly over 2006 as a result of the new company-owned restaurant openings
during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and the inefficiencies incurred during the first
12-14 weeks of operations, in addition to expected increases in the federal, and various state,
minimum wage rates. In anticipation of these increases, in June 2007 we took a price increase of
approximately 1.2% in all of our company-owned restaurants.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were approximately $7.3 million or
25.3% of net restaurant sales, compared to operating expenses of approximately $6.6 million or
25.1% of net restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The 20 basis point increase
in the percentage on a comparative basis primarily reflects 50 basis points of Manager in Training
and Area Director expenses in preparation for the five new company-owned restaurant openings that
were originally slated to occur in the second and third quarters of 2007, and due to municipality
zoning and permitting issues, have been delayed to the later part of 2007. This increase was
partially offset by the sales leverage on fixed costs such as rent. Operating expenses for the six
months ended July 1, 2007, were approximately $13.5 million or 25.0% of net restaurant sales,
compared to approximately $12.6 million or 25.4% of net restaurant sales for the six months ended
July 2, 2006. The decrease in restaurant level operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant
sales for the year-to-date period in fiscal 2007 is primarily due to lower utilities, supplies and
advertising costs, partially offset by slightly higher repairs and maintenance costs for our legacy
restaurants. The favorability in advertising expenses for the first six months of 2007 is due to
the timing of expenditures, as advertising costs for fiscal 2007 are expected to be flat to prior
year at 3.5% of net restaurant sales, which includes 1% contributed to the national advertising
fund. For the remainder of 2007, we expect operating expenses as a percentage of net restaurant
sales to remain relatively flat to the percentage for fiscal 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2007 was approximately $1.1
million or 3.3% of total revenue and the second quarter of 2006 was approximately $1.1 million or
3.5% of total revenue, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months
ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 was approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively,
and was 3.6% and 3.8% respectively, of total revenue. During fiscal 2007, depreciation and
amortization is expected to decrease slightly as a percentage of total revenue from fiscal 2006 due
to the closure of our Streamwood, Illinois and sale of our Rogers, Arkansas locations and the
leverage from our higher expected sales volumes from five new company-owned restaurants opening in
the second half of fiscal 2007.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were approximately $4.6
million or 13.6% of total revenue, compared to approximately $3.7 million or 12.0% of total revenue
for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. General and administrative expenses for the first six
months of fiscal 2007 were approximately $8.7 million or 13.9% of total revenue compared to
approximately $7.7 million or 13.3 % of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2006.
General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, as a percentage of
total revenue, was 12.1% for the second quarter of 2007 and was 10.9% for the second quarter of
2006 and was 12.2% and 12.1% for the year-to-date periods of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
increase in the percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 over prior years percentage
reflects planned investments in infrastructure, including growth in technology and people. The
increase also reflects the negative impact on the percentage from the loss of revenue from the
closure of Streamwood, Illinois in July 2006 and the sale of Rogers, Arkansas in June 2007. As
previously mentioned, difficulties with municipality zoning and permitting issues have caused
delays in our restaurant openings. While we continue to work diligently in resolving these issues
in anticipation of the new restaurant openings, we have had to move forward in hiring and training
general managers as well as hiring support personnel. We had previously communicated that general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would be approximately 50 basis points
higher than the percentage for 2006 primarily due to increased costs as related to our performance
share program and increased infrastructure to support corporate growth of five additional
company-owned restaurants. Any further delays in operating weeks could put additional pressure on
this percentage for the third and fourth quarters. Additionally, the deleverage from the sale of
Rogers, Arkansas will also impact this measurement for the remainder of fiscal 2007.

Asset Impairment
In the second quarter of 2006, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $502,000 for
an underperforming company-owned restaurant that closed subsequent to the end of the second
quarter. This charge represented the net book value of the remaining leasehold improvements that
would not be recoverable upon closure of the restaurant. We also recorded an impairment charge for
another location of approximately $282,000 for assets which were held-for-sale, to reflect the
assets at their fair market value based on a pending sale at the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. This sale was finalized in December, 2006.
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses consist of labor, food, utilities, training and rent costs incurred prior
to the opening of a restaurant. We had pre-opening expenses of approximately $36,000 in the second
quarter of 2007 and approximately $217,000 in the second quarter of 2006. Pre-opening expenses for
the second quarter of 2007 included pre-opening rent expense of approximately $25,000 related to
our upcoming Fredericksburg, Virginia restaurant. In the second quarter of 2006 pre-opening
expenses included pre-opening rent of approximately $42,000 related to our Waldorf, Maryland
restaurant. We had pre-opening expenses of approximately $42,000 for the six months ended July 1,
2007, and $399,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2006. This included $25,000 in pre-opening
rent for Fredericksburg, Virginia in 2007, and $77,000 for pre-opening rent for Waldorf, Maryland
and $14,000 for Coon Rapids, Minnesota, respectively for 2006. We plan to open up to five
company-owned restaurants in the second half of fiscal 2007 with pre-opening costs estimated at
approximately $220,000 to $230,000 per restaurant, excluding pre-opening rent. Each restaurant
will have pre-opening rent for approximately 16 weeks prior to opening which will vary based on
lease terms.
Net Loss on
Disposal of Property and Sale of Restaurant
Net loss on disposal of property was approximately $82,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
2007 and approximately $5,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The sale of our Rogers,
Arkansas restaurant resulted in an approximate $62,000 net loss in the second quarter of fiscal
2007. During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we recorded a net loss on disposal of property
of approximately $100,000 in fiscal 2007 and approximately $14,000 for the prior year comparable
period.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we repaid approximately $1.0 million in notes payable
related to our Tulsa, Oklahoma company-owned restaurant early which resulted in an approximate
$12,000 non-cash charge to write-off deferred financing fees.
On May 31, 2006, we elected to repay two notes prior to their expiration, related to our
Addison, Illinois and Lincoln, Nebraska restaurants. A total of approximately $3.0 million was
paid to retire these notes early. We recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $148,000 to
write-off deferred financing fees as a result of the early payoff.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was approximately $395,000 or 1.2% of total revenue for the second quarter of
fiscal 2007, compared to approximately $461,000 or 1.5% of total revenue for the comparable second
quarter of fiscal 2006. Interest expense was approximately $803,000 or 1.3% of total revenue for
the first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to approximately $932,000 or 1.6% of total revenue
for the comparable period of fiscal 2006. This category includes interest expense for notes
payable, financing lease obligations, our line of credit, and a current rate of 8% on deferrals
made under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. For fiscal 2007, we expect interest
expense to be slightly lower than fiscal 2006 levels due to the early payoff of approximately $3.0
million of notes payable in fiscal 2006 and approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 2007, partially
offset by any interest resulting from the use of our line of credit. For the second quarter of
2007 we incurred interest expense of approximately $31,000 related to the use of our line of credit
and commitment fee on the unused portion, and for the first six months of 2007, we incurred
interest expense of approximately $51,000 related to the use of our line of credit and commitment fee on the unused portion.

Interest Income
Interest income was approximately $77,000 and $90,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007
and fiscal 2006 respectively. Interest income was approximately $153,000 and $195,000 for the
first six months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. Interest income reflects interest
received on short-term cash and cash equivalent balances. We expect fiscal 2007 interest income to
decrease compared to fiscal 2006 levels due to lower cash balances, with cash being utilized for
construction of five company-owned restaurants, our share buy-back program, and other general
capital needs.
Other Income (Expense), net
During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded other income, net, of approximately $38,000,
which compares to other expense, net, of approximately $8,000 for the second quarter of 2006.
During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we realized other income, net, of approximately
$42,000, compared to the prior year comparable period other expense, net, of approximately $46,000.
Income Taxes Adoption of Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Bound (FASB) issued Financial
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining a minimum recognition threshold that an individual tax
position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprises
financial statements. Additionally, this Interpretation provides guidance on measurement,
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure,
and transition.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB FIN No. 48, on January 1, 2007. At the adoption
date, the Company applied FIN No. 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations
remained open. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company has not recognized a
material liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and there is no related effect to our
effective tax rate. There was no reserve necessary at December 31, 2006 or July 1, 2007.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state
jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the
related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Generally, the statue
of limitations is closed for tax years preceding fiscal 2003. However, due to the net operating
loss (NOL) carry-forwards from prior periods, the Company may be subject to U.S. federal, state
or local, income tax examinations by tax authorities to review the losses related to the NOL
generating years back to 2003.
The Company is currently under examination by several state jurisdictions for years prior to
fiscal 2006. The Company expects those examinations to be concluded and settled in the next 12
months. The Company does not expect any significant adjustments as a result of these audits.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest
expense and penalties in operating expenses, none of which has been accrued to date in relation to
FIN 48.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the second quarter of 2007, we recorded an estimated provision for income taxes of
approximately $1.1 million or 35.7% of income before income taxes, compared to a tax provision of
approximately $885,000, or 36.7% of income before income taxes, for the second quarter of 2006. For
the six months ended July 1, 2007, our tax provision was approximately $1.9 million, or 35.8% of
income before income taxes, compared to the prior year comparable period of approximately $1.3
million, or 36.8% of income before income taxes. We estimate a tax provision of approximately 36%
for fiscal 2007.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share
Net income for the second quarter ended July 1, 2007 was approximately $2.1 million or $0.20
per basic common share on approximately 10,068,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding, as
compared to net income of approximately $1.5 million or $0.14 per basic common share on
approximately 10,573,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding for the second quarter ended
July 2, 2006. Net income for the six months ended July 1, 2007, was approximately $3.4 million or
$0.34 per basic common share on approximately 10,099,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding,
compared to net income of approximately $2.3 million or $0.21 per basic common share on
approximately 10,590,000 weighted average basic shares outstanding for the six months ended July 2,
2006.
Diluted net income per common share for the second quarter ended July 1, 2007 was
approximately $0.20 per common share on approximately 10,431,000 weighted average diluted shares
outstanding compared to $0.14 per common share on approximately 10,935,000 weighted average diluted
shares outstanding, for the second quarter ended July 2, 2006. Diluted net income per common share
for the six months ended July 1, 2007 was $0.33 per common share on approximately 10,459,000
weighted average diluted shares outstanding compared to $0.21 per common share on approximately
10,942,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended July 2, 2006.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, our balance of unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents was approximately $2.9 million, compared to the fiscal 2006 year-end balance of
approximately $1.0 million.
Our quick ratio, which measures our immediate short-term liquidity, was 0.62 at July 1, 2007
and 0.37 at December 31, 2006. The quick ratio is computed by adding unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents with accounts receivable, net and dividing by total current liabilities less restricted
marketing fund liabilities. The change in our quick ratio was primarily due to an increase in
unrestricted cash.
For the six months ended July 1, 2007, our cash and equivalents increased by approximately
$1,900,000. Our cash provided from operations for the period was $7,278,000 as compared to
$7,980,000 during the same period of the previous year. We also received cash proceeds of
approximately $1,753,000 from the sale of a restaurant to a franchise. The primary uses of our
cash during the six months ended July 1, 2007 were to buy property and equipment for $3,415,000,
pay long-term debt of $1,126,000, and repurchase our common stock for $2,973,000.

FAMOUS DAVES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
On July 31, 2006, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively known as the
Borrower) entered into an amendment and restatement of an existing Credit Agreement with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the Lender). The Credit
Agreement, which amended and
restated an agreement previously entered into by the company on January 28, 2005,
increased the Companys existing revolving credit facility from $10.0 million to $20.0 million (the
Facility). Principal amounts outstanding under the facility bear interest either at an adjusted
Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or at a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The Base
Rate is defined in the agreement as either the Federal Funds Rate (5.25% at July 1, 2007) plus 0.5%
or Wells Fargos prime rate (8.25% at July 1, 2007). The applicable margin will depend on the
Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of the previous quarter and will range
from 1.75% to 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and from -0.25% to +0.50% for Base Rate Loans.
Unused portions of the Facility will be subject to an unused Facility fee which will range from
0.25% to 0.375% of the unused portion, depending on the Companys Adjusted Leverage Ratio. Our
rate for the unused portion of the Facility as of July 1, 2007, was 0.25%.
We expect to use any borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general working capital
purchases, as well as the repurchase of shares under our share repurchase authorization. Under the
Facility, the Borrower has granted the Lender a security interest in all current and future
personal property of the Borrower.
The Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of
this type, including limitations on the Borrower with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments,
distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates of
the Borrower, among others. The Facility also includes various financial covenants. We were in
compliance with all covenants under the Facility as of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
The Credit Agreement currently provides for up to $3.0 million in letters of credit to be used
by the Company, with any amounts outstanding reducing the availability for general corporate
purchases, and also allows for the termination of the Facility by the Borrower without penalty at
any time after the second anniversary of the effective date. The maturity date for this Facility
is July 31, 2011. We had no borrowings under this Facility, as of July 1, 2007, however, we had
$500,000 in Letters of Credit as required by our fiscal 2005 self-funded medical insurance policy,
which reduced our borrowing capacity under the Facility as of July 1, 2007. We had no borrowings
under this Facility, as of December 31, 2006, however, we had $500,000 in Letters of Credit, as
required by our fiscal 2005 self-funded medical insurance policy as of December 31, 2006.
We anticipate that all restaurant development and expansion will be funded primarily through
currently held cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations, and from sources
such as our credit facility. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $15.0 million during
fiscal 2007 for the construction of five new restaurants, built from the ground up, corporate
infrastructure, and normal capital expenditures for existing restaurants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
See Notes 8, 9 and 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the details of our contractual obligations.
Under the agreements governing our long-term debt obligations, we are subject to two main
financial covenants. We must maintain a 1.5 to 1.0 fixed charge coverage ratio and a 3.5 to 1.0
leverage ratio during each fiscal year. As of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were in
compliance with all of the covenants.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt. Our
Company includes as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents investments with original maturities of
three months or less when purchased and which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.
Our Companys unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate
risk due to the short maturities of these instruments. We have no derivative financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments in our cash and cash equivalents. The total
outstanding long-term debt of our Company as of July 1, 2007 was approximately $11.5 million,
including financing lease obligations. All of the outstanding long-term debt is subject to fixed
interest rates.
Some of the products purchased by us are affected by commodity pricing and are, therefore,
subject to price volatility caused by weather, production problems, delivery difficulties and other
factors that are outside our control. To control this risk in part, we have fixed-price purchase
commitments from vendors. In addition, we believe that substantially all of our products are
available from several sources, which helps to control commodity risks. We believe we have the
ability to increase menu prices, or vary the menu options offered, if needed, in response to a food
product price increase.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(c) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.
