GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2007.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 is derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective application transition method. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).

On August 3, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the review and recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved the acceleration of the vesting, effective August 3, 2006, of outstanding unvested stock options to purchase a total of approximately 108,235 shares of the Company's common stock, representing all outstanding unvested stock options granted under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan that are held by current employees, including all executive officers of the Company. Stock options held by the Company's non-employee members of the Board were not accelerated. As a result, the accelerated options, which would otherwise have vested at various times over the next four years, became fully vested on August 3, 2006. As a result there were no unvested options outstanding as of October 1, 2006.

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with share-based payments by estimating the fair value of stock options as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company's stock options granted during fiscal 2007. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards.

Our net loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 includes $21,000 and $62,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we granted 12,000 non-statutory stock options and 52,775 incentive stock options both with exercise prices of $6.38. The per share weighted average fair values were $3.83 for non-statutory stock option grants and $3.66 for incentive stock option grants.

7

In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table:

 

Incentive Stock Options

Non-Statutory Stock Options

Expected term (years)

6.0 

6.7 

Expected volatility

56%

56%

Risk-free interest rate

4.6%

4.6%

Expected dividends

0

0

We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.

SFAS 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits for tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recorded for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. These excess tax benefits were $0 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007.

A summary of stock option activity under our share-based compensation plan for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 is presented in the following table:

As of June 30, 2007, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based arrangements was $167,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2007, was $93,000. Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $98,000.

Interest rate swaps

In May 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $1,100,000. The swap matures in May 2015 and is being used to convert the floating interest rate component of a prime-based term note to a fixed rate. The impact of the transaction was immaterial to the June 30, 2007 financial statements.

8

2. CONTINGENT LIABILITY

We remain contingently liable on various restaurant leases that were previously sold. We have never experienced any losses nor do we anticipate any future losses from these contingent liabilities.

3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We have classified $1,872,000 of assets held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. These costs are related to three sites under development which are presently being marketed in the sale lease-back market, two of which were under contract as of June 30, 2007. One transaction closed on August 1, 2007 with net proceeds of approximately $1,571,000.

4. STOCK TRANSACTIONS

None.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE COMPANY

General

This Form 10-QSB contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Also, documents subsequently filed by us with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference may contain forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:

(I) We compete with numerous well established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do. Competitors have increasingly offered selected food items and combination meals, including hamburgers, at discounted prices, and continued discounting by competitors may adversely affect revenues and profitability of Company restaurants.

(II) We may be negatively impacted if we experience consistent same store sales declines. Same store sales comparisons will be dependent, among other things, on the success of our advertising and promotion of new and existing menu items. No assurances can be given that such advertising and promotions will in fact be successful.

We may also be negatively impacted by other factors common to the restaurant industry such as: changes in consumer tastes away from red meat and fried foods; increases in the cost of food, paper, labor, health care, workers' compensation or energy; inadequate number of hourly paid employees; and/or decreases in the availability of affordable capital resources. We caution the reader that such risk factors are not exhaustive, particularly with respect to future filings.

Preferred Stock Offering

On February 10, 2005 we closed on the private placement of a total of 1,240,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $2.50 per share, including 60,000 shares issued to one of the investors in consideration for advice and assistance with respect to the sale of 1,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. A current significant stockholder purchased 180,000 of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The aggregate purchase price for the 1,180,000 shares issued for cash was $2,950,000. Net proceeds of approximately $2,666,000 included $133,336 paid to Eric W. Reinhard (Board Chairman) for a fee related to raising capital. We had certain mandatory conversion rights which were exercised on June 8, 2006. The preferred shares accrued dividends at the rate of 6% per annum beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance of the shares. A declared dividend of $25,000 for the period from February 10, 2006 to March 31, 2006 was paid on May 15, 2006. Upon the mandatory conversion of the preferred shares to common shares on June 8, 2006 dividends of $35,000 were paid for the period April 1, 2006 to June 8, 2006.

Restaurant Locations

We currently operate and franchise a total of fifty-four Good Times restaurants, of which forty-seven are in Colorado, with forty-two in the Denver greater metropolitan area, three in Colorado Springs, one in Grand Junction and one in Silverthorne. Ten of these restaurants are "dual brand", operated pursuant to a Dual Brand Test Agreement with Taco John's International, of which there are three in North Dakota, two in Wyoming, and five in Colorado.

In fiscal 2006 we opened one new company-owned restaurant in Thornton, Colorado in December 2005, one new co-developed restaurant in downtown Denver, Colorado in July 2006, and one new company-owned dual branded restaurant in Loveland, Colorado in August 2006. On December 1, 2005 we purchased an existing Good Times restaurant from a franchisee and converted the restaurant to the dual brand format. The remodeled restaurant, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, re-opened as a dual brand in February 2006. We purchased another existing Good Times franchised restaurant in July 2006. One new franchised Good Times restaurant opened in Colorado Springs, Colorado in June 2006, and four new franchised dual brand restaurants opened during the fiscal year; one in Ft. Collins, Colorado in December 2005, one in Bismarck, North Dakota in January 2006, one in Williston, North Dakota in August 2006 and one in Windsor, Colorado in September 2006.

In fiscal 2007 one new franchised Good Times restaurant opened in Longmont, Colorado in March 2007, two new franchised dual brand restaurants opened, one in Dickinson, North Dakota and one in Gillette, Wyoming in February 2007 and one new company-owned Good Times restaurant opened in Littleton, Colorado in May 2007. In May 2007 we sold one existing company-owned restaurant to a new franchisee. One additional Good Times company-owned restaurant opened in early August 2007 and four additional Good Times company-owned restaurant sites are under negotiation in Colorado. We are negotiating a joint venture agreement for the development of up to twenty-five restaurants whereby we would develop and operate the restaurants for a fee and participate in the operating profits. We are negotiating for the acquisition of joint venture sites in one new market. We anticipate purchasing two existing franchised restaurants this fiscal year, subject to the completion of a sale lease-back agreement on one of these restaurants.

The following presents certain historical financial information of our operations. This financial information includes results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 and results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,167,000 (20.5%) to $6,855,000 from $5,688,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Same store restaurant sales for company operated restaurants increased $479,000 (10.1%) during the three months ended June 30, 2007 for the restaurants that were open for the full periods ending June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Restaurants are included in same store sales after they have been open a full fifteen months and only Good Times restaurants are included with dual branded restaurants excluded. Restaurant sales increased $609,000 due to six new, acquired or dual branded company-owned restaurants not included in same store sales. Three were purchased from existing franchisees in fiscal 2005 and 2006 and three new restaurants were opened in fiscal 2006. Restaurant sales increased $42,000 due to one non-traditional company-owned restaurant not included in same store sales.

Franchise revenues increased $37,000 to $215,000 from $178,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to an increase in franchise royalties. Same store Good Times franchise restaurant sales increased 3.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 for the franchise restaurants that were open for the full periods ending June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Franchise restaurant sales increased $486,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to two Good Times restaurants that opened in June 2006 and March 2007, and dual branded franchise restaurant sales increased $569,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to the opening of four new restaurants in fiscal 2006 and two in fiscal 2007.

Net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,974,000 (20.2%) to $17,724,000 from $14,750,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Same store restaurant sales for the company operated restaurants increased $435,000 (3.6%) for the restaurants that were open for the full nine month periods ending June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Restaurant sales increased $2,284,000 due to seven new, acquired or dual branded company-owned restaurants opened or acquired from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2007 not included in same store sales. Restaurant sales increased $142,000 due to one non-traditional company-owned restaurant not included in same store sales.

Franchise revenues increased $113,000 to $552,000 from $439,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 due to increases in franchise royalties and franchise fee income.

Our same store restaurant sales were severely impacted by adverse weather conditions in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area in December 2006 and January 2007. The severe weather caused store closures and limited operating hours on two separate occasions during December. December 2006 was the fifth snowiest month on record in the Denver area, and the eighth coldest on record. Management estimates that lost sales, due to the storms, were approximately $425,000 in its company-owned and co-developed restaurants. The estimate is based on sales trends prior to the severe weather.

Our same store restaurant sales were positively impacted by above average temperatures and minimal snow fall in March 2007 helping our same store restaurant sales to increase by 12.8% in March 2007, compared to the same prior year period.

In May 2007 we launched a television advertising campaign featuring our new "Bambino" burgers. The new product launch was supported with television advertising and our same store sales increased 9.5% and 14.1% in May and June 2007, respectively.

Restaurant Operating Costs

Restaurant operating costs as a percent of restaurant sales were 87% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 83% in the same prior year period and were 89.7% during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 89.1% in the same prior year period.

The changes in restaurant-level costs are explained as follows:

Food and Packaging Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 our food and paper costs increased $481,000 to $2,150,000 (32.4% of restaurant sales) from $1,669,000 (30.3% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period.

For the nine month ended June 30, 2007 our food and paper costs increased $850,000 to $5,361,000 (31.2% of restaurant sales) from $4,511,000 (31.5% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period.

The increase as a percent of restaurant sales for the quarter was the result of higher commodity costs including beef (approximately 20% increase over prior year), bakery, soft drinks, cheese, dairy and packaging costs. Our weighted food and packaging costs have increased approximately 7% since the beginning of the fiscal year. We anticipate continued increases in cheese and dairy costs for the balance of the fiscal year. We have taken weighted menu price increases of 1.8% in January 2007 and 2.3% in July 2007. We anticipate taking an additional menu price increase in October 2007. We expect food and packaging costs to be higher in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 on a year-over-year comparison.

Payroll and Other Employee Benefit Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 our payroll and other employee benefit costs increased $462,000 to $2,132,000 (32.1% of restaurant sales) from $1,670,000 (30.3% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The increase in payroll and other employee benefit expenses as a percent of restaurant sales is the result of a mandated increase in the minimum wage paid to hourly employees in the state of Colorado beginning January 1, 2007 from $5.15 to $6.85 as well as additional labor required to execute the launch of the new "Bambino" burger in May 2007. Additionally, our new restaurants operate at a higher labor cost as a percent of sales due to higher initial labor costs at new stores until they reach mature staffing levels. The dual brand restaurants also have a higher labor cost as a percent of sales. The current three-month period ending June 30, 2007 includes three additional company-owned restaurants opened in fiscal 2006 and 2007 that represent $232,000 of the increase compared to the same prior year period.

13

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 our payroll and other employee benefit costs increased $1,155,000 to $5,838,000 (34% of restaurant sales) from $4,683,000 (32.7% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The current nine month period ending June 30, 2007 includes five additional company-owned restaurants that represent $734,000 of the $1,155,000 increase compared to the same prior year period.

Occupancy and Other Operating Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 our occupancy and other operating costs increased $156,000 to $1,100,000 (16.6% of restaurant sales) from $944,000 (17.1% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The current three month period ending June 30, 2007 includes three additional company-owned restaurants opened in fiscal 2006 and 2007 that represent $139,000 of the increase compared to the same prior year period. Occupancy and other operating costs may increase in the future as a percent of sales as new company-owned restaurants are developed due to higher rent associated with sale-leaseback operating leases, as well as higher property taxes at those locations.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 our occupancy and other operating costs increased $487,000 to $3,190,000 (18.6% of restaurant sales) from $2,703,000 (18.9% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The current nine month period ending June 30, 2007 includes five additional company-owned restaurants opened or acquired in fiscal 2006 and 2007 that represent $462,000 of the increase compared to the same prior year period.

Opening Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, new store opening costs were $80,000 compared to $40,000 for the same prior year period. The costs in the prior year period were associated with an acquired company-owned restaurant that re-opened in January 2006 under the dual brand agreement with Taco John's International. The costs in the current year period are associated with two company-owned restaurants, one opened in May 2007 and one opened in August 2007. Each new company-owned restaurant developed in fiscal 2007 will have approximately $50,000 of pre-open expenses.

For the nine month ended June 30, 2007 new store opening costs were $82,000 compared to $116,000 for the same prior year period. The costs in the prior year period were associated with three company-owned restaurants that were opened or remodeled in the nine month period ended June 30, 2006, and the current year costs are associated with two new company-owned restaurants.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 depreciation and amortization increased $65,000 to $308,000 (4.6% of restaurant sales) from $243,000 (4.4% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to the addition of three company-owned restaurants.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 depreciation and amortization increased $199,000 to $903,000 (5.3% of restaurant sales) from $704,000 (4.9% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to the addition of new company-owned restaurants.

14

General and Administrative Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative costs increased $72,000 to $453,000 (6.6% of total revenues) from $381,000 (6.7% of total revenues) for the same prior year period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 general and administrative costs increased $195,000 to $1,351,000 (7.6% of total revenues) from $1,156,000 (7.8% of total revenues) for the same prior year period.

The increase in general and administrative costs for the three and nine month periods is primarily attributable to increases in payroll and employee benefit costs, stock-based compensation cost of $21,000 and $62,000, respectively and increased training and recruiting costs.

Advertising Costs

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 advertising costs increased $91,000 to $416,000 (6.3% of restaurant sales) from $325,000 (5.9% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 advertising costs increased $223,000 to $1,088,000 (6.3% of restaurant sales) from $865,000 (6% of restaurant sales) for the same prior year period.

The increase in advertising costs is primarily due to the increase in restaurant sales. Contributions are made to the advertising materials fund and regional advertising cooperative based on a percentage of sales.

Sale of Restaurant Related Assets

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the gain (loss) on sale of restaurant related assets increased $35,000 to a loss of $22,000 from a gain of $13,000 for the same prior year period. The current three month period includes a $29,000 expense to write off goodwill associated with the sale of a company-owned restaurant to a franchisee in May 2007. The restaurant sold in May 2007 had been purchased from another franchisee in July 2006.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, the gain (loss) on sale of restaurant related assets increased $58,000 to a loss of $7,000 from a gain of $51,000 for the same prior year period. The prior nine month period included a $23,000 gain associated with a sale lease-back transaction.

Loss From Operations

We had income from operations of $187,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to income from operations of $421,000 for the same prior year period.

We had a loss from operations of ($123,000) in the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to income from operations of $35,000 for the same prior year period.

The decrease in income from operations for the three and nine month periods is due primarily to the increase in expenses discussed in the "Restaurant Operating Costs" and "General and Administrative Costs" sections of Item 2.

We expect higher food and packaging costs and higher labor costs during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year, resulting in unfavorable restaurant-level margins in the 2.5% to 3% range on a year-over-year comparison.

15

Net Loss

Net income was $79,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $291,000 for the same prior year period. The change from the three month period ended June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as well as: 1) a decrease in net interest income of $17,000 compared to the same prior year period; 2) a decrease in minority interest expense of $22,000 compared to the same prior year period; and, 3) a decrease in other expenses of $17,000 compared to the same prior year period. The decrease in other expenses is primarily attributable to franchise support costs related to the franchise restaurant opened during the prior period, as well as a decrease in franchise legal costs compared to the same prior year period.

The net loss was ($325,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of ($194,000) for the same prior year period. We estimate that the December and January storms reduced net income by approximately $110,000 - $125,000 based on our historical flow through to net income on incremental sales. The change from the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the increase in loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, as well as: 1) a decrease in net interest income of $36,000 compared to the same prior year period; 2) a decrease in minority interest expense of $50,000 compared to the same prior year period; and, 3) a decrease in other expenses of $13,000 compared to the same prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Working Capital

As of June 30, 2007, we had $1,526,000 cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $2,613,000 at September 30, 2006, the decrease in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2006 is primarily attributable to asset purchases of $2,900,000 offset by an increase in our notes payable and line of credit of $850,000. We currently plan to use the cash balance and cash generated from operations for increasing our working capital reserves and, along with additional debt and equity financing, for the development of new company-owned restaurants. We believe that the current cash on hand and additional cash expected from operations in fiscal 2007 will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements for fiscal 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, we had working capital of $321,000. Because restaurant sales are collected in cash and accounts payable for food and paper products are paid two to four weeks later, restaurant companies often operate with working capital deficits. We anticipate that working capital deficits will be incurred in the future as new restaurants are opened.

Capital Expenditures

We are currently negotiating purchase and lease agreements for additional company-owned and franchise restaurants and are negotiating debt and sale-leaseback financing for the development of those restaurants. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we opened one additional company-owned Good Times restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado and we anticipate acquiring two existing franchised Good Times restaurants in 2007. We also anticipate increasing the level of reinvestment in existing company-owned and joint venture restaurants to upgrade the exterior building image and improve the patios.

On May 1, 2007 we sold an existing company-owned restaurant located in Aurora, Colorado to a new franchisee. The land, building and improvements for this site were originally sold in a sale lease-back transaction. We will remain contingently liable on that lease which will be subleased to the franchisee. The franchisee has entered into a lease with us for the equipment at that location. The sale resulted in a write off of $29,000 in previously booked goodwill.

16

Financing Activities

In May 2007 we borrowed $1,100,000 from Wells Fargo Bank under a note payable with an eight year term with a floating interest rate at .50% below prime. We simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap transaction with Wells Fargo Bank for the full $1,100,000 with a fixed interest rate of 7.77% for the full eight year term coinciding with the note payable. Partial proceeds from the loan were used to: 1) payoff our existing GE Capital notes payable of $398,000; and, 2) fund new store construction. The balance of the proceeds will be used to partially fund the purchase of an existing restaurant from a franchisee.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,024,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was the result of a net loss of ($325,000) and non-cash reconciling items totaling $1,349,000 (comprised of depreciation and amortization of $903,000, minority interest of $111,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $341,000 and a net decrease in other operating assets and liabilities of $6,000).

Net cash used in operating activities was $867,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was the result of a net loss of ($194,000) and non-cash reconciling items totaling $1,061,000 (comprised of depreciation and amortization of $704,000, minority interest of $161,000, an increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $360,000 and a net decrease in other operating assets and liabilities of $164,000).

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,823,000 which reflects payments of $2,900,000 for the purchase of property and equipment (including $2,399,000 for new store development and $501,000 for existing store equipment, patio and building upgrades and miscellaneous restaurant related capital expenditures) and $77,000 in principal payments received on loans to franchisees. Included in the $2,399,000 new store development costs are $1,805,000 of costs related to three new company-owned restaurants under development which we intend to sell in sale lease-back transactions when they are completed. Assets related to these sites have been classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $542,000, which reflects payments of $2,491,000 for the purchase of property and equipment (including $2,104,000 for new store development; $199,000 for remodeled restaurant costs; and, $188,000 for miscellaneous restaurant related capital expenditures), $1,900,000 from the sale of investments, $109,000 in principal payments received on loans to franchisees, $74,000 for loans to franchisees and others, and $14,000 in proceeds from the sale of miscellaneous restaurant equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $712,000, which includes principal payments on notes payable and long term debt of $529,000, proceeds from long-term debt of $1,100,000, net proceeds from our revolving line of credit of $250,000, net distributions to minority interests in partnerships of $207,000 and paid in capital activity of $98,000 related to the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $79,000, which includes principal payments on notes payable and long term debt of $162,000, net contributions from minority interests in partnerships of $8,000, paid in capital activity of $93,000 related to the exercise of stock options and $18,000 in expenses related to the preferred stock offering.

17

Contingencies

We are contingently liable on several ground leases that have been subleased or assigned to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses nor do we anticipate any future losses from these contingent lease liabilities.

Impact of Inflation

We experienced moderation in commodity costs during fiscal 2005 and 2006 and increases in fiscal 2007. State and Federal increases in the minimum wage caused increases in all hourly wages. It is anticipated that we will take moderate price increases during fiscal 2007, which may or may not be sufficient to recover increased commodity costs or increases in other operating expenses.

Seasonality

Revenues of the Company are subject to seasonal fluctuation based primarily on weather conditions adversely affecting restaurant sales in December, January, February and March.
