At a meeting on June 7, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) in consultation with the Company’s management, concluded that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 27, 2009, December 28, 2008, and for the year ended December 28, 2008 as contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2010 would be restated for errors related to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities during the acquisition of Perkins & Marie Callender’s Inc. (formerly known as “The Restaurant Company”) by P&MC Holding Corp. on September 21, 2005 (the “Acquisition”) and should no longer be relied upon.

Following the Acquisition, the Company recorded certain non-amortizing intangible assets in its purchase price allocation. At that time, however, the Company failed to record deferred tax liabilities of $40,506,000 stemming from the differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of such assets, as well as the associated corresponding increase in goodwill. This error also resulted in a $4,951,000 charge related to a change in the Company’s effective tax rates during the year ended December 31, 2006 and an additional $27,242,000 impairment charge during the year ended December 28, 2008. This adjustment had no effect on liquidity or cash flow from operations.

The Company has discussed the errors described above with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accountants.

The Company has filed concurrently with this Current Report on Form 8-K an Amendment No.1 to the Form 10-K to correct the errors described above.
