VI Acquisition Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 13, 2006 (Unaudited)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

July 14, 2005

(Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

VI Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “VI Acquisition”), a Delaware corporation, was organized in June 2003 by Wind Point Partners and other co-investors. VICORP Restaurants, Inc. (“VICORP”) and its subsidiaries are wholly-owned by VI Acquisition Corp. As a holding company, VI Acquisition Corp. does not have any independent operations and, consequently, its consolidated statements of operations are substantially equivalent to those of VICORP.

The Company operates family style restaurants under the brand names “Bakers Square” and “Village Inn,” and franchises restaurants under the Village Inn ~~brand~~ brand name. At July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, the Company operated ~~279~~305 Company-owned restaurants in 1517 states. Of the Company-owned restaurants, 149 are ~~Bakers~~ Bakers Square restaurants and ~~130~~156 are Village Inn restaurants, with an additional ~~100~~ 95 franchised Village Inn restaurants in 1918 states. The Company-owned and franchised restaurants are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, the Rocky Mountain region, and the upper Midwest. In addition, the Company operates three pie manufacturing facilities located in Santa Fe Springs, California; Oak Forest, Illinois; and Chaska, Minnesota.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q ~~and~~ and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. However, operating results for the ~~259~~252-day period ended July 14 13, ~~2005~~ 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 3 2, ~~2005~~2006. The consolidated balance sheet at ~~October 28,~~November ~~2004~~3, as2005 ~~restated,~~ has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that ~~date~~ date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP ~~for~~ for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended ~~October 28~~November 3, ~~2004~~2005 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K~~, which was amended on May 18, 2005 for the restatement of previously issued financial statements (see Note 2)~~.

Stock-Based Compensation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” defines a fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation and encourages, but does not require, all entities to adopt that method of accounting. Entities electing not to adopt the fair value method of accounting must make pro forma disclosures of net income as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company ~~has~~ has elected not to adopt the fair value method and instead has elected to ~~follow~~ follow Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for ~~Stock~~ Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations (however, refer to the discussion in the following paragraph related to the Company’s pending adoption of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”). Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense related to stock options is calculated as the difference, ~~if any,~~ between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of ~~the~~ the underlying stock at the date of grant. This expense is recognized over the vesting period of the option or at the time of grant if the options immediately vest. As a result of the minimal number of stock options outstanding during all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the pro forma effects of applying the fair value method to outstanding options over their respective vesting periods had an immaterial effect on net income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~December~~November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~SFAS~~Statement ~~No. 123R,~~of ~~which~~Financial Accounting ~~replaces~~Standards ~~the prior~~ (“SFAS”) No. ~~123~~151, ~~and~~“Inventory ~~supersedes~~Costs, ~~APB~~an ~~Opinion~~amendment of ARB No. 2543, Chapter 4. ” SFAS No. 151 ~~123R~~clarifies ~~requires~~the ~~compensation~~accounting ~~costs~~for ~~related to~~abnormal ~~share-based~~amounts ~~payment~~of ~~transactions~~idle tofacility expense, befreight, ~~recognized~~handling incosts ~~the~~and ~~financial statements.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material, and requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the “so abnormal” criterion outlined in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 also introduces the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this statement, it does not currently believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.6

7On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date, after estimating forfeitures.

2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures for either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

The Company will use the modified prospective method when it adopts SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) is effective for non-public filers, with the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For purposes of this Statement, the Company is considered a non-public filer because it is an entity that has only debt securities trading in a public market. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company had accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s sale transaction in June 2003, all options became immediately vested, thus the Company did not recognize any compensation expense. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will only impact the Company’s results of operations if the Company grants share-based payments subsequent to November 2, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154)”. SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. SFAS 154 also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” FSP No. FAS 13-1 requires rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. FSP No. FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The transition provisions of FSP No. FAS 13-1 permit early adoption and retrospective application of the guidance. The Company historically capitalized rental costs incurred during a construction period. The Company implemented FSP No. FAS 13-1 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and it did not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company capitalized $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the 84 days and year to date period ended July 14, 2005, respectively. The Company expensed $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the 84 days and year to date periods ended July 13, 2006, respectively.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect, if any, of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in fiscal ~~2005~~ 2006. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s consolidated net income.

Fiscal Periods

The Company’s fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks divided into four fiscal quarters of 12 or 13, 12, 12, and 16 weeks. The first three quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 and fiscal ~~2004~~2005 consisted of ~~259~~252 and ~~256~~259 days, respectively, reflecting the difference in duration of the first quarter of those years. The second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 and fiscal 2005 ~~2004~~ are the same in duration. Fiscal ~~2005~~2006 will consist of 5352 weeks, or ~~371~~364 total days, while fiscal ~~2004~~2005 consisted of 5253 weeks ~~and four days~~, or ~~368~~371 total days.

~~(i) Accounting for Real Estate Transactions~~2. Inventories

Historically, the Company had accounted for certain of its real estate transactions of restaurant properties as sale-leaseback transactions. The Company has restated its financial statements to now report these transactions as financing transactions under SFAS No. 98, “Accounting for Leases,” rather than as sale-leaseback transactions as previously reported due to a determination that certain lease agreement provisions reflect continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor. Our continuing involvement for most of our leases now accounted for under the financing method results from our ability to control the property with pre-determined rental payments through at least 90 percent of the economic life of the property, even though lease renewals would need to be exercised by the Company to effectuate such control. These “perpetual fixed-price renewal options” are considered continuing involvement because the seller-lessee is deemed to benefit from future appreciation in the underlying property in a manner similar to a fixed-price purchase option. Such continuing involvement precludes the use of sale-leaseback accounting until such time that the continuing involvement no longer exists. The affected real estate transactions related to an aggregate of 79 existing restaurants in 1999, 2001 and 2003 and nine new restaurant locations opened in 2003 and 2004.

The impact of the restatement was to record on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets the assets of the restaurants subject to these transactions as if they had not been sold and record the proceeds from these transactions (including any gains previously deferred) as liabilities under the caption “Deemed landlord financing liability”. Operating results were restated to recognize depreciation expense associated with the assets subject to these transactions and re-characterize the lease payments previously reported as rent expense as principal repayments and imputed interest expense. The rent expense reversal associated with these transactions included the reversal of previously recorded expenses for straight-line rents and rent reductions for certain purchase accounting adjustments made to account for the leases at fair market value. In addition, the capital lease classification for three leased properties was re-characterized as deemed landlord financing assets and liabilities.

The net impact to correctly classify the aforementioned leases as financing transactions increased loss before income taxes by $1,005,000 for the 84-day period ended July 8, 2004. The correcting entries consisted of a $1,567,000 decrease in other operating expenses, a $41,000 decrease in franchise operating expenses and a $2,613,000 increase in interest expense.

The net impact to correctly classify the aforementioned leases as financing transactions increased loss before income taxes by $3,101,000 for the 256-day period ended July 8, 2004. The correcting entries consisted of a $4,855,000 decrease in other operating expenses, a $123,000 decrease in franchise operating expenses and a $8,079,000 increase in interest expense.

(ii) Understated Straight-Line Rent Expense

GAAP requires that leases for which there are scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease be accounted for at the average rent payment, or on a straight-line basis, over the applicable term with the differences being recorded on the balance sheet as a deferred rent liability. The Company did not appropriately straight-line its rents for certain locations, which resulted in understated operating expenses in prior financial reporting periods. The net impact to correctly straight-line rents resulted in an increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the loss before income taxes of $126,000 and $383,000 for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

(iii) Understated Depreciation and Amortization Expense

The Company generally has historically depreciated its buildings and leasehold improvements over the lesser of the asset’s useful life or the initial term of the associated lease unless an economic penalty would occur from not exercising renewal options, in which case, the assets are depreciated over the lesser of the asset’s useful life or the reasonably assured lease term. However, in performing a detailed review of the Company’s depreciable assets, it was determined that buildings and leasehold improvements for approximately 31 restaurant properties had incorrect depreciable lives resulting in an understatement of depreciation expense, predominantly in earlier periods. The net impact of the correction of our leasehold improvement depreciable lives resulted in an increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the loss before income taxes of $21,000 and $50,000 for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

(iv) Understated Interest Expense on Preferred Stock Warrant Accretion

The Company also determined it was appropriate to record additional adjustments which were previously deemed immaterial. The adjustments related to interest expense and preferred dividends imputed from the accretion of preferred stock warrants with anti-dilutive provisions issued originally to certain debt holders at the time of the Company’s June 2003 purchase. For the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, additional preferred stock and interest expense of $0 and $88,000, respectively, was recorded as a result of the correction of this error, respectively.

(v) Accounting for Income Taxes

In addition to the impact on the Company’s income tax provision resulting from the accounting corrections discussed above, the Company determined that its accounting for income taxes related to our purchase business combinations was not correct. Under FASB SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” companies are to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of differences between assigned values in the purchase price allocation in a purchase business combination (except for the portion of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes). The provisions of SFAS No. 109 apply to basis differences that arise in both taxable and nontaxable business combinations. In both the Company’s 2001 and 2003 business acquisitions, certain purchase price allocations were not correctly tax effected. The correction resulted in recognition of additional deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase in goodwill. The impact of the corrections decreased the Company’s provision for income taxes by $427,000 and $1,584,000 for the for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

The collective impact of these restatements on the Company’s results of operations for the 84-days and 256-days ended July 8, 2004 are summarized below (in thousands):

4. Debt

On April 14, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $126.5 million aggregate principal amount of ~~10½~~101/2% senior unsecured notes maturing on April 15, 2011. The notes were issued at a discounted price of 98.791% of face value, resulting in net proceeds before transaction expenses of $125.0 million. The senior unsecured notes were issued by VICORP Restaurants, Inc. and are guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc. In August 2004, the Company’s registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-4 was declared effective and the senior unsecured notes and guarantees were exchanged for registered notes and guarantees having substantially the same terms and evidencing the same indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 until maturity.

The Company ~~has~~entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit ~~Facility~~ Facility on April 14, 2004 consisting of a $15.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $15.0 million sub-limit for letters ~~of credit. As of July 14, 2005, the Company had~~ ~~issued letters~~ of credit ~~aggregating $7~~.2 ~~million~~As ~~and had no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings equal to the lesser~~ of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 1.2 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) minus the original amount of the new senior secured term loan. Under this formula, as of July ~~14, 2005,~~ ~~the Company had the ability to borrow the full $30.0 million~~13, ~~less the amount of outstanding letters of credit and borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility~~2006, ~~or $22.8 million.~~the

Borrowings under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan of the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates tied to either the base rate of the agent bank under the credit agreement or LIBOR rates for a period of one, two or three months, in each case plus a margin that will adjust based on the ratio of our Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the agreement. At July 14, 2005, the interest rates were 6.5% for term loan borrowings. Both facilities are secured by a lien on all of the assets of VICORP, and guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc. In addition, the guarantees also are secured by the pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of VICORP by VI Acquisition Corp. The term loan does not require periodic principal payments, but requires mandatory repayments under 8

12Company had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.4 million and had $8.3 million outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. Interest on both the term loan and revolving credit facility are payable on the first of each month. The senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 1.2 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) minus the original amount of the new senior secured term loan. Under this formula, as of July 13, 2006, the Company had the ability to borrow the full $30.0 million, less the amount of outstanding letters of credit and borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility, or $14.3 million.

Borrowings under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan of the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates tied to either the base rate of the agent bank under the credit agreement or LIBOR rates for a period of one, two or three months, in each case plus a margin that will adjust based on the ratio of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the agreement. At July 13, 2006, the interest rate was 8.4% for term loan borrowings and 9.5% for the revolving credit facility. Both facilities are secured by a lien on all of the assets of VICORP Restaurants, Inc., and guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. In addition, the guarantees also are secured by the pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of VICORP Restaurants, Inc. by VI Acquisition Corp. The term loan does not require periodic principal payments, but requires mandatory repayments under certain events, including proceeds from sale of assets, issuance of equity and issuance of new indebtedness. Both facilities mature on April 14, 2009.

The Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the ~~10½~~101/2% Senior Unsecured Notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries, to sell assets, incur ~~additional~~ additional indebtedness, as defined, or issue preferred stock, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain ~~material~~ material agreements governing our indebtedness, change the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries and enter into hedging agreements. In addition, the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to maintain or comply with a ~~maximum~~minimum ~~total~~Adjusted ~~leverage ratio~~EBITDA, a minimum ~~interest coverage~~Fixed ~~ratio~~Charge Coverage ratio, and a maximum growth capital expenditures limitation. On As of July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, the Company was in compliance with these requirements.

In connection with the April 2004 refinancing, we incurred $6.9 million of debt extinguishment costs, including prepayment penalties of $2.3 million, $4.4 million of noncash write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs and $0.2 million of costs relating to terminating interest rate swaps.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance reserves

The Company retains a significant portion of certain insurable risks primarily in the medical, dental, workers’ compensation, general liability and property areas. Traditional insurance coverage is obtained for catastrophic losses. ~~Provisions~~ Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company’s estimates of liabilities for claims incurred, including those not yet reported. Such estimates utilize prior Company history and actuarial assumptions ~~followed~~ followed in the insurance industry. ~~Favorable~~ workers compensation claims experience related to recent years has permitted a reduction in workers compensation expense accruals in fiscal 2005 versus previous years. Should the current claims experience trends continue, it is likely further expense reductions will be made. As of July 14 13, ~~2005~~ 2006, the Company had ~~recorded an insurance reserve liability of $9.7 million and had~~ placed letters of credit totaling approximately $7.23 million, ~~primarily~~ associated with its insurance programs.

Litigation and tax contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company has been involved in various lawsuits and claims arising from the conduct of its business. Such lawsuits typically involve claims from customers and others related to operational issues and complaints and allegations from former and current employees. These matters are believed to be common for restaurant businesses. Additionally, the Company has been party to various assessments of taxes, penalties and interest from federal and state agencies. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, or results of operations~~, or cash flows~~.

The classes and subclasses alleged in the actions have not been certified by the respective courts at the current stages of the litigation, but generally are claimed in the 2003 complaint to include persons who have been employed by the Company in California since October 17, 1999 in the positions of food server, restaurant general manager and assistant restaurant manager, and generally are claimed in the 2004 complaint to include persons who have been employed by the Company in California since May 21, 2000 in the positions of restaurant general manager and restaurant associate manager. No dollar amount in damages was requested in either complaint, and the complaints sought statutory damages, compensatory damages, interest and attorneys’ fees in unspecified amounts.

The parties entered into a settlement agreement, which was approved June 1, 2005. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company agreed to pay up to an aggregate of $6.55 million for the alleged claims and associated legal fees, subject to partial indemnification as noted below. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company established a reserve of $6.55 million in connection with the proposed settlement of these class action lawsuits.

The Company filed a lawsuit on December 3, 2004 against the former shareholders of Midway (the former parent of VICORP) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking indemnification for all of the damages related to such litigation under the purchase agreement dated June 14, 2003 pursuant to which VICORP was acquired, in addition to the assertion of other claims. The former shareholders of Midway filed a lawsuit on December 22, 2004 in Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts. The former shareholders of Midway claim, among other allegations, that the Company has improperly sought indemnification and are denying liability for the portion of the damages in the previously mentioned class action lawsuits that arose following the closing of the June 2003 acquisition, and for certain settlements for which they claim they did not receive appropriate notice or approval rights.

The former shareholders of Midway Investors Holdings Inc. have acknowledged they are liable to the Company for the pre-closing portion of class action settlement agreements. Currently, the Company and the former shareholders are in discussions regarding the final settlement amount. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company established a receivable of $3.4 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the former shareholders’ estimated portion of the settlement.

In the third quarter of 2005, the $6.55 million reserve mentioned above was reduced to $5.3 million, as the information regarding the ultimate costs was finalized by the trustee. The associated receivable was reduced by $0.8 million, in conjunction with the reduction to the estimated reserve for the settlement agreements.

Guarantees and commitments

VICORP guaranteed certain leases for restaurant properties sold in 1986 and restaurant leases of certain franchisees. Minimum future rental payments remaining under these leases were approximately $2.41 million as of July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006. The Company has not made any payments due to default under these agreements, and management believes the guarantee has no fair value. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

~~Contractual obligations, primarily for restaurants under construction, amounted to approximately $16.7 million as of July 14, 2005.~~9

These obligations typically arise in ~~thousands):~~contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters such as title to assets. The Company also has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company depends upon the other party making an adverse claim according to the procedures outlined in the particular agreement, which procedures generally allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. In certain instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for payments that we make.

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnifications in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company does accrue losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when the obligation is both probable and reasonably estimable.

7. Asset impairments, asset disposals and related costs

7In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. ~~Related~~ 144, ~~Party~~Accounting ~~Transactions~~for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis whenever impairment indicators are determined to be present. We consider a history of cash flow losses to be the primary indicator of potential impairment for individual restaurant locations. We determine whether a restaurant location is impaired based on expected undiscounted future cash flows, considering location, local competition, current store management performance, existing pricing structure and alternatives available for the site. If impairment exists, the amount of impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.

15As of July 13, 2006 and November 3, 2005, the Company had recorded reserves for closed/subleased restaurant locations of approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily representing estimated future minimum lease payments related to the restaurant facilities, net of expected sublease income. Four of the restaurant locations to which this reserve relates were subleased as of July 13, 2006.

8. Deemed landlord financing liability

For many of our build-to-suit projects, we are considered the owner of the project during the construction period in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 97-10, “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction,” because we are deemed to have substantially all of the construction period risk. At the end of these construction projects, a sale-leaseback could be deemed to occur in certain situations and the seller-lessee would record the sale, remove all property and related liabilities from its balance sheet and recognize gain or loss from the sale, which is generally deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the term of the lease. However, many of our real estate transactions and build-to-suit projects have not qualified for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor, which results in the transaction being recorded under the financing method. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life, and the proceeds from the transaction are recorded as a financing liability. A portion of lease

payments are applied as payments of deemed principal and imputed interest.

The Company believes that the carrying value of the deemed landlord financing liability approximates fair value.

The Company’s continuing involvement for most of its leases currently accounted for under the financing method resulted from its ability to control the property with pre-determined rental payments through at least 90 percent of the economic life of the property, even though lease renewals would need to be exercised by the Company to effectuate such control. These “perpetual fixed-price renewal options” are considered continuing involvement because the seller-lessee is deemed to benefit from future appreciation in the underlying property in a manner similar to a fixed-price purchase option. Such continuing involvement precludes the use of sale-leaseback accounting until such time that the continuing involvement no longer exists.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company changed the estimated useful lives of its buildings (Note 1). This change removed the Company’s ability to control the property through at least 90% of its economic life for 26 of our 126 restaurants accounted for using the financing method. As a result, the Company recognized the “sale” of these 26 units by removing both the assets and financing obligations associated with the restaurants and recording any gain or loss in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 98, “Accounting for Leases”. The resulting leases were then tested under the provisions of SFAS” No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” for treatment as capital or operating leases. All 26 leases qualified as operating and deferred rent was recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 98 and SFAS No.13. The effect of this change was a reduction in the Company’s financing obligation of $30.5 million, a reduction of financing assets of $29.3 million, an increase in deferred rent of $1.2 million, and a net loss on the transactions of $50,000. The net loss has been deferred and will be amortized to rent expense over the remaining reasonably assured lease term in accordance with SFAS No. 13.

The following summarizes future minimum lease payments under the 26 restuarants that are now operating leases as of July 13, 2006:

(In thousands)	Operating leases

These payments were previously included with the deemed landlord obligations future minimum payments schedule of Footnote 8 in the November 3, 2005 10-K.

9. Acquisitions

The Company purchased four restaurants during the first quarter of 2006 and purchased an additional restaurant in the third quarter of 2006 from a franchisee in Oklahoma for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000.

10. Stock Repurchase

In January 2006, the Company agreed to repurchase shares of its common stock and preferred stock that had been previously acquired by former officers. The aggregate purchase price paid to the former officers was approximately $745,000.

Management Overview

Our restaurant revenues are affected by restaurant openings and closings and same unit sales performance. Same unit sales is a measure of the percentage increase or decrease of the sales of units open at least 18 months relative to the same period in the prior year. We do not use new restaurants in our calculation of same unit sales until they are open for 18 months in order to allow a new restaurant’s operations and sales time to stabilize and provide more meaningful results. Same unit sales is an important indicator within the restaurant industry because small changes in same unit sales can have a proportionally higher impact on operating margins ~~because of the high degree of fixed costs associated with operating restaurants.~~

Whereas same unit sales trends at the Village Inn operating unit have been consistently positive in recent years, the same unit trends at Bakers Square have been negative over this same period. The negative same unit sales trend at Bakers Square has been of significant concern to us. Same unit sales were 2.5% negative in fiscal 2003, 1.0% negative in fiscal 2004 and 3.7%, 5.5% and 2.0% negative in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2005, respectively. We attribute much of the larger negative same unit sales in fiscal 2005 to differences in advertising efforts, unfavorable timing of adverse winter weather, a softer economy in the Midwest and higher fuel costs impacting guest decisions. Despite these factors, we believe that longer negative same unit sales trend indicates that our Bakers Square restaurants have not met our guests’ expectations.13

Webecause ~~have recently embarked on an effort we have labeled a “revitalization” to reverse this trend. The first part~~ of ~~the~~ ~~revitalization project was completed in December 2004 and involved identifying our opportunities with~~ the ~~help of an outside consultant. We have since been working on refining the~~ ~~expected~~high ~~changes~~degree ~~to Bakers Square and began to test these changes at a selected Bakers Square restaurant subsequent to the third quarter~~ of ~~fiscal~~fixed ~~2005. We~~costs ~~expect~~associated towith ~~test~~operating ~~the revitalization in several additional Bakers Square existing~~ restaurants ~~in fiscal 2006~~. ~~The changes are reasonably extensive, and include changes to the physical store, menu and operations. Most of the revitalization~~

17Like much of the restaurant industry, we view same unit sales as a key performance metric, at the individual unit level, within regions, across each chain and throughout our Company. With our field-level and corporate information systems, we monitor same unit sales on a daily, weekly and four-week period basis from the chain level down to the individual unit level. The primary drivers of same unit sales performance are changes in the average per-person check and changes in the number of customers, or customer count. Average check performance is primarily affected by menu price increases and changes in the purchasing habits of our customers. We also monitor entrée count, exclusive of take-out business, and sales of whole pies, which we believe is indicative of overall customer traffic patterns. To increase average unit sales, we focus marketing and promotional efforts on increasing customer visits and sales of particular products. We also selectively increase prices, but are constrained by the price sensitivity of customers in our market segment and our desire to maintain an attractive price-to-value relationship that is a fundamental characteristic of our concepts. We generally have increased prices in line with increases in the consumer price index, and expect to continue to do so in the future. Same unit sales performance is also affected by other factors, such as food quality, the level and consistency of service within our restaurants, the attractiveness and physical condition of our restaurants, as well as local and national economic factors.

~~efforts~~As ~~will~~of beJuly ~~focused~~13, 2006, inwe ~~our~~had ~~Midwest~~95 ~~markets~~franchised Village Inn restaurants in 18 states, ~~although~~operated ~~certain~~by 25 ~~aspects~~franchisees ofwhich ~~the~~operate ~~efforts~~one to 11 restaurants each. Although we may beincrease franchise ~~incorporated~~revenues ~~into~~by increasing the number of franchised Village Inn restaurants, we expect that our ~~California~~franchise ~~market~~revenues will decline as a percentage of our total revenue as we emphasize growth in the number of company-operated units.

In addition to the revitalization efforts, we have recently hired a new advertising agency, Ryan Partnership. We began to see their first efforts for advertising programs for both the Bakers Square and Village Inn concepts starting late in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

With our new strategic focus, we intend to increase the number of company-operated Village Inn and Bakers Square restaurants more significantly over the next several years. During the third quarter, we opened 5 new restaurants. We have opened 10 new restaurants in the first three quarters of this year, nine Village Inn restaurants and one Bakers Square restaurant. We plan to open a total of 12 to 15 new restaurants in the fourth quarter, to bring the full year openings to 22 to 25 new restaurants, predominantly under the Village Inn brand.

Like much of the restaurant industry, we view same unit sales as a key performance metric, at the individual unit level, within regions, across each chain and throughout our company. With our field-level and corporate information systems, we monitor same unit sales on a daily, weekly and four-week period basis from the chain level down to the individual unit level. The primary drivers of same unit sales performance are changes in the average per-person check and changes in the number of customers, or customer count.

We generally have increased prices in line with increases in the consumer price index, and expect to continue to do so in the future. Same unit sales performance is also affected by other factors, such as food quality, the level and consistency of service within our restaurants, the attractiveness and physical condition of our restaurants, as well as local and national economic factors.

As of July 14, 2005, we had 100 franchised Village Inn restaurants in nineteen states, operated by 25 franchisees which operate one to eleven restaurants each. Although we may increase franchise revenues by increasing the number of franchised Village Inn restaurants, we expect that our franchise revenues will decline as a percentage of our total revenue as we emphasize growth in the number of Company-operated units. Also, we expect that a certain number of franchise agreements will not be renewed at expiration for lower sales volume stores.

In addition to unit sales, the other major factor affecting the performance of our restaurants is the cost associated with operating our restaurants. We monitor and assess these costs principally as a percentage of a restaurant’s revenues, or on a margin basis. The operating margin of a restaurant is the profitability, expressed as a percentage of sales, of the restaurant after accounting for all direct expenses of operating the restaurant. Another key performance metric is the prime margin, which is the profitability, expressed as a percentage of sales, of the restaurants after deducting the two most significant costs, labor and food. Due to the importance of both labor cost and food cost, we closely monitor prime margin from the chain level down to the individual restaurant. We have systems in place at each restaurant to assist restaurant managers in effectively managing these costs to improve prime margin.

18Labor is our largest cost element. The principal drivers of labor cost are wage rates, particularly for the significant number of hourly employees in our restaurants, and the number of labor hours utilized in serving our customers and operating our restaurants, as well as health insurance costs for our employees. Wage rates are largely market driven, with increases to minimum wage rates causing corresponding increases in our pay scales. Differences in minimum wage laws among the various states impact the relative profitability of the restaurants in those states. In May 2005 and again on January 1, 2006, the minimum wage rate for the state of Florida increased. The state of Oregon’s minimum wage increased in both 2005 and 2006 and the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin increased their minimum wage during the first quarter of 2006.

Labor is our largest cost element. The principal drivers of labor cost are wage rates, particularly for the significant number of hourly employees in our restaurants, and the number of labor hours utilized in serving our customers and operating our restaurants, as well as medical and workers compensation insurance costs for our employees. Wage rates are largely market driven, with increases to minimum wage rates causing corresponding increases in our pay scales. Differences in minimum wage laws among the various states impact the relative profitability of the restaurants in those states. In both January 2004 and 2005, the minimum wage rate for the state of Illinois increased. The state of Florida’s minimum wage increased in May 2005 and the state of Minnesota’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase August 2005.

While the wage rates are largely externally determined, labor utilization within our restaurants is more subject to our control and is closely monitored. We seek to staff each restaurant to provide a high level of service to our customers, without incurring more labor cost than is needed. We have included labor scheduling tools in each of our company-operated restaurants’ back office systems to assist our managers in improving labor utilization. We monitor labor hours actually incurred in relation to sales and customer count on a restaurant- by-restaurant basis throughout each week.

In managing prime margin, we also focus on percentage food cost, which is food cost expressed as a percentage of total restaurant revenues. Our food cost is affected by several factors, including market prices for the food ingredients, ~~our~~ our effectiveness at controlling waste and proper portioning, and shifts in our customers’ buying habits between low-food-cost and high-food-cost menu items. Our food cost management system within each restaurant measures actual ingredient costs and actual customer product purchases against an “ideal” food cost standard. Ideal food cost is calculated within each restaurant based on the cost of ingredients used, assuming proper portion size, adherence to recipes, limited waste and similar factors. We track variances from ideal food cost within each restaurant and seek to address the causes of such variances, to the extent they are within our control, in order to improve our percentage food cost. In addition, our centralized purchasing department buys a majority of the products used in both Village Inn and Bakers Square (as well as our pie production operations), leveraging the purchasing volumes of our restaurants and our franchisees to obtain favorable prices. We attempt to stabilize potentially volatile prices for certain high-cost ingredients such as chicken, beef, coffee and dairy products for three to twelve month periods by entering into purchase contracts when we believe that this will improve our food cost. We also use “menu engineering” to promote menu items which have a lower percentage food cost. However, we are vulnerable to fluctuations in food costs. Given our customers’ sensitivity to price increases and since we only reprint our full menus every six months, our ability to adjust prices and featured menu items in response to rapidly changing commodity prices is limited.

In order to maintain our operating performance levels, and to address expected cost increases, we will be required to increase efficiency in restaurant operations and increase sales, although there is no assurance that we will be able to offset future cost increases.

We have restated our financial statements for periods spanning from fiscal 2000 through fiscal 2004 to correct the following accounting errors primarily as a result of a review of our lease accounting policies and practices prompted by the views expressed by the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC on February 7, 2005 in a letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and other recent interpretations regarding certain operating lease issues and their application under GAAP:

(i) Accounting for Real Estate Transactions

Historically, we have accounted for certain of our real estate transactions of restaurant properties as sale-leaseback transactions. We have restated our financial statements to now report these transactions as financing transactions under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 98, “Accounting for Leases,” rather than as sale-leaseback transactions as previously reported due to a determination that certain lease agreement provisions reflect continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor. Our continuing involvement for most of our leases now accounted for under the financing method results from our ability to control the property with pre-determined rental payments through at least 90 percent of the economic life of the property, even though lease renewals would need to be exercised by us to effectuate such control. These “perpetual fixed-price renewal options” are considered continuing involvement because the seller-lessee is deemed to benefit from future appreciation in the underlying property in a manner similar to a fixed-price purchase option. Such continuing involvement precludes the use of sale-leaseback accounting until such time that the continuing involvement no longer exists. The affected real estate transactions related to an aggregate of 79 existing restaurants in 1999, 2001 and 2003 and nine new restaurant locations opened in 2003 and 2004.

The impact of the restatement was to record on our consolidated balance sheets the assets of the restaurants subject to these transactions as if they had not been sold and record the proceeds from these transactions (including any gains previously deferred) as liabilities under the caption “Deemed landlord financing liability”. Operating results were restated to recognize depreciation expense associated with the assets subject to these transactions and re-characterize the lease payments previously reported as rent expense as principal repayments and imputed interest expense. The rent expense reversal associated with these transactions included the reversal of previously recorded expenses for straight-line rents and rent reductions for certain purchase accounting adjustments made to account for the leases at fair market value. In addition, the capital lease classification for three leased properties was re-characterized as deemed landlord financing assets and liabilities.

The net impact to correctly classify the aforementioned leases as financing transactions increased loss before income taxes by $3,101,000 for the 256-day period ended July 8, 2004. The correcting entries consisted of a $4,855,000 decrease in other operating expenses, an $123,000 decrease in franchise operating expenses and a $8,079,000 increase in interest expense.

(ii) Understated Straight-Line Rent Expense

GAAP requires that leases for which there are scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease be accounted for at the average rent payment, or on a straight-line basis, over the applicable term with the differences being recorded on the balance sheet as a deferred rent liability. We did not appropriately straight-line its rents for certain locations, which resulted in understated operating expenses in prior financial reporting periods. The net impact to correctly straight-line rents resulted in an increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the loss before income taxes of $126,000 and $383,000 for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

(iii) Understated Depreciation and Amortization Expense

We generally have historically depreciated our buildings and leasehold improvements over the lesser of the asset’s useful life or the initial term of the associated lease unless an economic penalty would occur from not exercising renewal options, in which case, the assets are depreciated over the lesser of the asset’s useful life or the reasonably assured lease term. However, in performing a detailed review of our depreciable assets, it was determined that buildings and leasehold improvements for approximately 31 restaurant properties had incorrect depreciable lives resulting in an understatement of depreciation expense, predominantly in earlier periods. The net impact of the correction of our leasehold improvement depreciable lives resulted in an increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the loss before income taxes of $21,000 and $50,000 for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

(iv) Understated Interest Expense on Preferred Stock Warrant Accretion

We also determined it was appropriate to record additional adjustments which were previously deemed immaterial. The adjustments related to interest expense and preferred dividends imputed from the accretion of preferred stock warrants with anti-dilutive provisions issued originally to certain debt holders at the time of our June 2003 purchase. For the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, additional preferred stock and interest expense of $0 and $88,000, respectively, was recorded as a result of the correction of this error.

(v) Accounting for Income Taxes

In addition to the impact on our income tax provision resulting from the accounting corrections discussed above, we also determined that our accounting for income taxes related to its purchase business combinations was not correct. Under FASB SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” companies are to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of differences between assigned values in the purchase price allocation in a purchase business combination (except for the portion of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes). The provisions of SFAS No. 109 apply to basis differences that arise in both taxable and nontaxable business combinations. In both our 2001 and 2003 business acquisitions, certain purchase price allocations were not correctly tax effected. The correction resulted in recognition of additional deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase in goodwill. The impact of the corrections decreased our provision for income taxes by $427,000 and $1,584,000 for the for the 84-day and 256-day periods ended July 8, 2004, respectively.

We restated our annual consolidated financial statements with the filing of an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A with the SEC for our fiscal year ended October 28, 2004.

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the restatement. All previously reported amounts affected by the restatement that appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the ordinary course of business, our ~~company~~Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management judgment about the effect of matters that are uncertain.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to recoverability of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and goodwill. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different circumstances or conditions.

We have discussed the development and selection of critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee. The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates:

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. Both our manufactured pie inventories and individual store food inventories are subject to spoilage. We use estimates of future demand as well as historical trend information to schedule manufacturing and ordering. If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand, we could be required to record additional inventory reserves or losses which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.

Property and equipment, build-to-suit projects and assets under deemed landlord financing liability

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets or through the applicable lease expiration, if shorter. Leasehold improvements added subsequent to the inception of a lease are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or athe ~~term~~lease term that includes lease renewals, if such renewals are considered reasonably assured. The useful lives of assets ~~typically~~ range from 20 to 4045 years for buildings and three to ten years for equipment and improvements. Changes in circumstances such as the closing of units inwithin underproductive markets or changes in our capital structure could result in the actual useful lives of these assets differing from our estimates.

For many of our build-to-suit projects, we are considered the owner of the project during the construction period in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 97-10, “The ~~Effect~~ Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction,” because we are deemed to ~~have~~ have substantially all of the construction period risk. At the end of these construction projects, a sale-leaseback could be deemed to occur in certain situations and wethe seller-lessee would record the sale, remove all property and related liabilities from ~~our~~its balance sheet and recognize gain or loss from the sale, which is generally deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rent expense over the term of the lease. However, many of our real estate transactions and build-to-suit projects have not qualified for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor, which results in the transaction being recorded under the ~~financing~~ financing method. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life, and the proceeds from the transaction are recorded as a financing liability. A portion of lease payments are applied as payments of deemed principal and imputed interest.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company changed the estimated useful lives of its buildings (Note 1). This change removed the Company’s ability to control the property through at least 90% of its economic life for 26 of our 126 restaurants accounted for using the financing method. The effect of the change was to retire both the assets and financing obligations associated with the restaurants. Additionally, all of the restaurants were tested under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” for treatment as capital or operating leases. All 26 restaurants qualified as operating leases and deferred rent was established. The effect of this change was a reduction in the Company’s financing obligation of $30.5 million, a reduction of financing assets of $29.3 million, an increase in deferred rent of $1.2 million, and a loss on the transaction of $50,000. Any gain or loss recognized by restaurant will be amortized to rent expense over the remaining reasonably assured lease term.

We review long-lived assets, including land, buildings and building improvements, for impairments on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Management evaluates individual restaurants, which are considered to be the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows for impairment. A specific restaurant is deemed to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted future operating cash flows directly relating to that restaurant, including disposal value, if any, is less than the carrying amount of that restaurant. If a restaurant is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the restaurant exceeds its fair value. Management determines fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management estimates the fair value of a restaurant based on either the estimates provided by real estate professionals and/or our past experience in disposing of restaurant properties. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to economic conditions or changes in operating performance. During the quarter ended July 13, 2006, the Company recorded no impairment charge related to the writedown of assets for restaurant locations. The Company recorded a $0.8 million pretax impairment for the year to date period ended July 13, 2006 related to 11 restaurant locations. There were no impairment charges for the quarter or year to date periods ended July 14, 2005.

Leases

We lease a substantial amount of our restaurant properties and one of our pie production plants. We account for our leases under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and subsequent amendments, which require leases to be evaluated and classified as operating or capitalized leases for financial reporting purposes. In We ~~addition,~~record the ~~Company records leases with escalating rents on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease and those renewal periods that have been exercised or are considered reasonably assured. The~~ difference between the cash rent paid and the straight-line rent ~~is recorded~~ as a deferred rent liability. ~~The initial lease~~ term includes the “build-out”, or rent holiday period, for our leases where no rent payments are due under the terms of the lease. Such amounts are capitalized during the construction period, which starts when we take possession of the property and ends when the property is certified for occupancy. Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as deferred rent liabilities and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent. ~~Contingent rentals, based upon restaurant sales volume, are accrued each accounting period as the liabilities are incurred utilizing prorated periodic sales targets.~~ Certain of our leases are accounted for under ~~the~~ the financing method as discussed above. Future authoritative changes to the methods of accounting for leases could have a material impact on ~~the~~our ~~Company’s~~ reported results of operations and financial position.

Following the June 2003 acquisition, we analyzed all capital and operating leases which had not been initiated or renewed in the past 18 months to determine the fair market value of these agreements. Lease fair market values were determined by obtaining comparable rents for select locations through third-party advisors and reviewing sale-leaseback transactions within the past 18 months to determine an average rent as a percentage of unit sales. This average was applied to each location to determine fair value rents. These additional rents are amortized over the remaining life of the underlying lease agreements. The amounts were classified as either assets or liability based on the analysis. At July 13, 2006 the asset balance was $5.5 million and the liability balance was $2.4 million. At November 3, 2005 the asset balance was $6.6 million and the liability balance was $2.5 million.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” FSP No. FAS 13-1 requires rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. FSP No. FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The transition provisions of FSP No. FAS 13-1 permit early adoption and retrospective application of the guidance. The Company historically capitalized rental costs incurred during a construction period. We implemented FSP No. FAS 13-1 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and it did not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company capitalized $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the quarter and year to date period ended July 14, 2005, respectively. The company expensed $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the quarter and year to date periods ended July 13, 2006, respectively.

Insurance reserves

We self-insure a significant portion of our employee medical insurance, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance plans. We ~~have~~had ~~obtained stop-loss~~an insurance ~~policies~~reserve toliability ~~protect~~of ~~from individual losses over specified dollar values (~~$~~175,000~~9.4 ~~for employee health insurance claims, $250,000 workers’~~million ~~compensation~~ and $~~150,000 for general liability for fiscal 2005)~~9.3 ~~The~~million ~~full extent~~recorded as of ~~certain~~July ~~claims~~13, ~~especially~~2006 ~~workers’ compensation~~ and ~~general liability claims~~November 3, ~~may not become fully determined for several years.

for employee health insurance claims, $250,000 workers’ compensation and $150,000 for general liability for fiscal 2005 and 2006). The full extent of certain claims, especially workers’ compensation and general liability claims, may not become fully determined for several years. Therefore, we estimate potential obligations for liabilities that have been incurred but not yet reported based upon historical data, experience, and use of outside consultants. Although management believes that the amounts accrued for these obligations are reasonably estimated, any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with claims made under these plans could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Favorable claims experience related to recent years has permitted a reduction in workers’ compensation, general liability and medical expense accruals in both fiscal 2005 and 2006 versus previous years. We recorded a reduction to our workers’ compensation reserve of $0.8 million during the second quarter and year to date period ended July 13, 2006 and a reduction of $0.4 million during the third quarter and year to date period ended July 14, 2005.We did not record an adjustment to general liability insurance during the quarter and year to date period ended July 13, 2006, but did record a $0.3 million reduction for the third quarter and $0.5 million reduction for the year to date period ended July 14, 2005. In addition, medical insurance claims have decreased on a per claim basis and a reduction of $0.5 million was taken during the third quarter and year to date period ended July 13, 2006. No reduction was taken during the quarter ended July 14, 2005. Should the current claims experience trends continue, it is likely further expense reductions will be made.

Loss contingencies

We maintain accrued liabilities and reserves relating to the resolution of certain contingent obligations. Significant contingencies include those related to litigation. We account for contingent obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 14 which requires that we assess each contingency to determine estimates of the degree of probability and range of possible settlement. Contingencies which are deemed to be probable ~~and~~ and where the amount of such settlement is reasonably estimable are accrued in ~~our~~ our financial statements. If only a range of loss can be determined, we accrue to the best estimate within that range; if none of the estimates within that range is better than another, we accrue to the low end of the range.

The assessment of loss contingencies is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of the accruals and related financial statement disclosure. The ultimate settlement of loss contingencies may differ significantly from amounts we have accrued in our financial statements.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future income tax consequences of carryforwards ~~and~~ and temporary differences between the book and tax ~~bases~~basis of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets that are deemed unrealizable. As of July 13, 2006, we had gross deferred tax assets which included $15.5 million of FICA tip credit carryforwards, expiring at various dates through 2026. Approximately $10.1 million of the FICA tip credit carryforwards were generated prior to our acquisition in June 2003 and are subject to an annual use limitation of $0.7 million.

We must assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, valuation allowances are established. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of future taxable income by each jurisdiction in which we operate, tax planning strategies and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, we are unable to implement certain tax planning strategies or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish an additional valuation allowance which could have a material negative impact on our results of operations or financial position. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $2.8 million for the portion of its deferred tax asset related to an investment for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be successfully challenged. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~December~~ November 2004, the ~~FASB~~Financial ~~issued~~Accounting ~~SFAS~~Standards ~~No. 123R~~Board ~~which~~(“FASB”) issued ~~replaces~~Statement ~~the~~of ~~prior~~Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. ~~123~~ 151, “~~Accounting for Stock-Based~~Inventory ~~Compensation~~Costs,” ~~and~~an ~~supersedes~~amendment ~~APB~~of ~~Opinion~~ARB No. 25 43, ~~“Accounting~~Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for ~~Stock Issued~~abnormal toamounts ~~Employees.” SFAS~~of ~~123R~~idle facility ~~requires~~expense, ~~compensation~~freight, handling costs ~~related~~and ~~to share-based~~wasted ~~payment~~material ~~transactions~~and torequires that such items be recognized inas ~~the~~current-period ~~financial statements.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material, and requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the “so abnormal” criterion outlined in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 also introduces the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. While we are still evaluating the impact of this statement, we do not currently believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.17

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A“modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date, after estimating forfeitures.

2. A“modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures for either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

We will use the modified prospective method when we adopt SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) is effective for non-public filers with the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For purposes of this Statement, we are considered a non-public filer because we are an entity that has only debt securities trading in a public market. As permitted by SFAS 123, we had accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Simultaneously with the closing of our sales transaction in June 2003, all options became immediately vested, thus we would not have recognized compensation expense. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will only impact our results of operations if we grant share-based payments subsequent to November 2, 2006, the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Comparability

Our fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks divided into four fiscal quarters of 12 or 13, 12, 12, and 16 weeks. The first three quarters of fiscal 2006 ~~2005 and fiscal 2004~~ consisted of ~~259 and~~40 ~~256 days~~weeks, ~~respectively,~~or ~~reflecting~~252 ~~the~~days ~~difference~~and infiscal ~~duration~~2006 ofwill ~~the~~consist ~~first~~of 52 ~~quarter~~weeks ofor ~~those~~364 ~~years~~total days.

Seasonality

Our sales fluctuate seasonally and, as mentioned inpreviously ~~the preceding paragraph,~~ our quarters do not all have the same time duration. Specifically, our fourth quarter ~~generally~~ generally has an extra three to four weeks compared to ~~the~~our other quarters of the ~~our~~ fiscal year. ~~Also,~~ ~~based on fiscal 2003 and 2004~~Historically, our average daily sales ~~were~~are highest in our first quarter (November through January) as a result of holiday pie sales while our fourth quarter (mid-July through October) recorded our lowest average daily sales. Therefore, our quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Factors influencing relative sales variability in addition to those noted above include the frequency and popularity of advertising and promotions, the relative sales level of new and closed locations, holidays and weather.

84 Days Ended July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006 (“Third Quarter of Fiscal ~~2005~~2006”) ~~Compared~~ Compared to 84 Days Ended July 8 14, ~~2004~~2005 (“Third Quarter of Fiscal ~~2004~~2005”)

Total revenues increased by $28.47 million, or 29.60%, to $92105.56 million in fiscal ~~2005~~2006’s third quarter, from $9096.19 million for the same quarter in fiscal ~~2004~~2005. The increase was due ~~principally~~largely to ~~sales stemming~~operating ~~from~~twenty-seven ~~the~~more ~~net~~locations 10on ~~additional~~average ~~restaurants~~during ~~opened since~~ the ~~end~~third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. However, we experienced a net 03.81% decrease in same unit sales for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 over the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. Village Inn same unit sales for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 ~~increased~~decreased 02.68% over the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005, ~~but~~and Bakers Square same unit sales decreased 23.04% over the same period. Average guest spending, increased 32.59% at Village Inn and 25.84% at Bakers Square in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 compared to the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. We believe that our decrease in comparable store is closely related to trends within the restaurant industry. The majority of our direct competitors have been experiencing similar declining sales and restaurant analysts believe this is a result of increasing utility and gas prices being absorbed by consumers. Third party pie sales increased $3.4 million, or 77.3%, to $7.8 million due to the addition of a large customer at the end of the first quarter of 2006.

Food costs ~~decreased~~increased by $0.98 million, or 3.74%, to $2324.73 million in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006, from $2423.65 million for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. ~~Food~~ Food costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues decreased to 2625.02% infor the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 from 2725.68% in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004,~~2005. ~~as the contribution at the Company’s pie~~The ~~manufacturing~~decrease ~~facilities~~was ~~improved~~driven ~~significantly~~primarily inby ~~the~~menu ~~2005~~price ~~third~~increases ~~quarter~~exceeding ~~and~~ commodity ~~cost increases at the restaurant level were more than offset by menu~~ price increases.

Labor costs increased by $12.13 million, or 37.87%, to $2932.92 million in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006, from $2829.89 million for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004. As~~2005 aand as a percentage of restaurant revenues, ~~labor costs~~ increased to 3233.84% from 32.47% over these periods. The relative increase in ~~percentage~~ labor costs was due ~~largely~~ to ~~negative~~lower ~~leverage~~operating efficiency, ~~resulting~~increased ~~from~~average ~~the lower~~wage ~~same~~due ~~unit~~to ~~sales~~minimum inwage increases, negative leverage associated with the ~~Bakers~~same ~~Square~~store ~~operating~~sales ~~unit~~decline and ~~minimum~~labor ~~wage~~inefficiencies ~~increases~~at inthe ~~Florida~~new ~~and~~restaurants ~~Illinois~~ in ~~May 2005~~start up mode.

Other operating expenses increased by $14.81 million, or 716.96%, to $2428.78 million in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 from $2224.97 million for the ~~third~~ third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. Other operating expenses as a percentage of ~~restaurant~~ restaurant revenues increased to 2729.18% from 2527.81% over these periods. This ~~percentage~~ increase was primarily due to higher ~~utility and~~ occupancy costs, ~~in addition to higher advertising costs~~($2. ~~The~~1 million), increased ~~advertising~~utility costs ~~were a result of incremental costs~~ associated with the hiring of an advertising agency to enhance the Company’s advertising initiatives, in addition to incremental spending in the 2005 third quarter over that of the previous year’s third quarter reflecting efforts to spread our advertising expenditures more evenly over the fiscal 2005 year as compared to fiscal 2004($0.6 ~~Utility~~million) ~~costs~~and increased ~~predominantly due to higher rates and higher usage from warmer weather. The increase in percentage occupancy~~ costs ~~was due to significantly higher pre-opening costs~~ associated with ~~the increased~~ new ~~restaurant~~store ~~opening activity and to negative leverage stemming from normal occupancy costs increases relative to the decline in comparable restaurant sales~~growth.

General and administrative expenses ~~increased~~decreased $0.61 million, or 101.76%, to $6.21 million for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 from $5.6.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. The ~~increase~~decrease ~~was~~resulted aprimarily ~~result~~from ~~of higher human~~a ~~resources~~reduction ~~costs~~in ~~associated with the opening of new restaurants and~~ legal fees ~~related~~ toand ~~on-going litigation, partially offset by lower bonus expense~~settlements. As a percentage of total revenues, general ~~and~~ and administrative expenses were 65.78% in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 and 6.24% in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005.

28Operating profit decreased by $2.3 million, or 29.9%, to $5.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, from $7.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating profit as a percentage of total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased to 5.1% from 8.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease was due largely to the decline in our same unit sales, its effect on labor, as well as increases in other operating expenses.

~~Operating~~Interest ~~profit~~expense increased by $0.24 million, or 26.73%, to $7.70 million in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2005~~2006, from $76.56 million for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. ~~Operating~~The ~~profit~~increase ~~as a percentage of total revenues for the third quarters of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004~~ was ~~8.3%. In~~driven ~~addition~~by ~~to the impacts noted above, operating profit in the third quarter of 2005 was~~ increased bydebt abalances ~~$0.3~~and ~~million~~interest ~~reduction in workers compensation expense versus the comparable period of 2004, due to favorable claims experience~~rates.

We believe that our

Total revenues increased by $8.0 million, or 2.8%, to $291.8 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2005, from $283.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2004. The increase was partly due to operating approximately ten more locations on average during the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 compared to the same quarters of fiscal 2004 and the three extra operating days in the first three quarters of fiscal 2005. However, we experienced a net 1.5% decrease in same unit sales for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 over the same quarters of fiscal 2004 with Village Inn same unit sales increasing 1.3% and Bakers Square same unit sales decreasing 3.8% over the same period.

The decrease was driven primarily by menu price increases exceeding commodity price increases.

29Labor costs increased by $6.4 million, or 6.9%, to $98.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2006, from $92.1 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2005, and as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 33.0% from 32.0% over these periods. The increase in labor costs was due to lower operating efficiency, increased average wage due to minimum wage increases, negative leverage associated with the same store sales decline and labor inefficiencies at the new restaurants in start up mode.

Other operating expenses increased by $39.36 million, or 412.43%, to $7787.8 4 million in the first three quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 from $7477.58 million for ~~the~~ the same quarters of fiscal ~~2004~~2005 and, other operating expense as a percentage of restaurant revenues increased to 2729.03% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 ~~2005~~ from 2627.60% in the same quarters of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. ~~Higher~~ This increase was ~~credit~~primarily ~~card~~due ~~fees~~to higher occupancy costs ($4.6 million), increased utility costs ($1.9 million) and ~~occupancy~~increased costs ~~were~~associated with new store growth ($0.9 million specifically related to preopening costs for new restaurants), partially offset by lower ~~advertising~~ workers’ compensation costs ($0.5 million).

General and administrative expenses ~~increased~~decreased $1.61 million, or 95.18%, to $1918.10 million for the first three quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 from $1719.51 million for the first three quarters of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. The ~~increase~~decrease was driven ~~principally~~primarily by a ~~result~~reduction ~~of higher hiring and training costs related to the increased growth~~ in ~~new restaurants and~~ legal fees ~~associated~~and ~~with on-going litigation~~settlements.

Operating profit as a percentage of total revenues was 8.5.2% and 8.30% for the first three quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006 and fiscal ~~2004~~2005, respectively. The ~~improvement~~ decrease was primarily due ~~largely~~ to ~~the~~ increased ~~restaurant~~other ~~sales~~operating expenses and ~~lower~~increased ~~relative~~losses ~~food~~from ~~costs~~the pie manufacturing business.

Interest expense increased by $1.50 million, or 85.10%, to $2021.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal ~~2005~~2006, from $1820.50 million for the same quarters of fiscal ~~2004~~2005. ~~Interest~~The ~~expense as a percentage of total revenues increased to 6.9% from 6.5% over these periods.

Preferred stock dividends and accretion increased by $0.8 million to $6.0 million in first three quarters of fiscal 2005 from $5.2 million for first three quarters of fiscal 2004 as a result of the compounding effect of unpaid preferred stock dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash requirements

Our principal liquidity requirements are to continue to finance our operations, service our debt and fund capital expenditures for maintenance and expansion. Cash flow from operations has historically been sufficient to finance continuing operations and meet normal debt service requirements. However, we are highly leveraged and our ability to repay our borrowings at maturity is likely to depend in part on our ability to refinance the debt when it matures, which will be contingent on our continued successful operation of the business as well as other factors beyond our control, including the debt and capital market conditions at that time.

Our cash balance and working capital needs are generally low, as sales are made for cash or through credit cards that are quickly converted to cash, purchases of food and supplies and other operating expenses are generally paid within 30 to 60 days after receipt of invoices and labor costs are paid bi-weekly. The timing of our sales collections and vendor and labor payments are consistent with other companies engaged in the restaurant industry.

For the balance of fiscal ~~2005~~2006, we anticipate capital expenditures before build-to-suit construction (as discussed below) of approximately $12 7.9 million, reflecting an acceleration of our unit growth. Of this amount, $71.9 million is expected to be spent on new restaurant construction, $2.3 million for remodels and the remainder on capital maintenance and other support related projects. We ~~currently expect to open an estimated 22 to 25 new restaurants in fiscal 2005, including the ten we opened through the third quarter.~~

We will also be required to make cash payments associated with certain litigation settlements (refer to Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements and Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings included elsewhere herein for further discussion). We expect our ultimate maximum net cash outlay for these litigation settlements to be $2.8 million reflecting indemnification of pre-acquisition activities by our predecessor for the balance of the $5.3 million proposed settlements. It is expected that the timing will require that the settlement be paid out in advance of receipt of the indemnification proceeds.21

31In connection with our new restaurant development program, we have entered into build-to-suit development agreements whereby third parties will purchase property, fund the costs to develop new restaurant properties for us and lease the properties to us upon completion. Under these agreements, we generally are responsible for the construction of the restaurant and remitting payments to the contractors on the projects, which are subsequently reimbursed by the property owner. These amounts advanced and subsequently reimbursed are not included in the anticipated capital spending totals above. On July 13, 2006, we had outstanding receivables of $1.2 million relating to these types of agreements. In certain of these agreements, we are obligated to purchase the property in the event that we are unable to complete the construction within a specified time frame, and are also responsible for cost overruns above specified amounts.

Debt and other obligations and liabilities

On April 14, 2004, we completed a private placement of $126.5 ~~million~~ million aggregate principal amount of ~~10½~~101/2% senior unsecured notes maturing on April 15, 2011. The notes were issued at a discounted price of 98.791% of face value, resulting in net proceeds before transaction expenses of $125.0 million. The senior unsecured notes were issued by VICORP Restaurants, Inc. and are guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and our subsidiary Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc.

~~Concurrent~~Concurrently with the issuance of the ~~10½~~101/2% senior unsecured notes, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility consisting of a $15.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. On July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, we had issued letters of credit aggregating $7.24 million ~~and~~ and had no$8.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving ~~credit~~ credit facility. The senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 1.2 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) minus the original amount of the senior secured term loan. ~~Under~~ Under this formula, as of July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, we had the ability to borrow the full $30 million, less the amount of outstanding letters of credit, under the senior secured revolving credit facility, or $2214.8 3 million.

Borrowings under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan bear interest at floating rates tied to either the base rate of the agent bank under the credit agreement or LIBOR rates for a period of one, two or three months, in each case plus a margin that will adjust based on the ratio of our Adjusted EBITDA to total indebtedness, as defined in the senior secured credit agreement. At July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, the interest rates were 68.54% for term loan borrowings and 9. 5% for the revolving credit facility. Both facilities are secured by a lien on all of the assets of VICORP Restaurants, Inc., and guaranteed by VI Acquisition Corp. and our subsidiary Village Inn Pancake House of Albuquerque, Inc., the guarantees also secured by the pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of VICORP Restaurants, Inc. by VI Acquisition Corp. ~~The~~ The term loan does not require periodic principal payments, but requires ~~mandatory~~ mandatory repayments under certain events, including proceeds from sale of assets, issuance of equity and issuance of new indebtedness. Both facilities mature on April 14, 2009.

Our senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing the senior unsecured notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements governing our indebtedness, change the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries and enter into hedging agreements. In addition, our senior secured credit facility requires us to maintain or comply with a ~~maximum~~minimum ~~total~~Adjusted ~~leverage ratio~~EBITDA, a minimum ~~interest~~Fixed Charge ~~coverage~~Coverage ratio, and a maximum growth capital expenditures limitation. On July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, we were in compliance with these requirements.

We are subject to capital lease obligations related to ~~five~~two of our leased properties. The principal component of our capital lease obligations was $0.32 million as of July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006. These capital leases have expiration ~~dates~~ dates ranging from ~~October 2005~~November 2008 to June 2011.

32We are the prime lessee under various operating leases or agreements under deemed landlord financing liability transactions for land, building and equipment for company-operated and franchised restaurants, pie production facilities and locations subleased to non-affiliated third parties. These leases and agreements have initial terms ranging from 15 to 30 years and, in most instances, provide for renewal options ranging from five to 20 years. These leases and agreements expire at various dates through November 2025.

We have guaranteed certain leases for restaurant properties sold in 1986 and restaurant leases of certain franchisees. Estimated minimum future rental payments remaining under these leases were approximately $2.4 million as of July 14, 2005.22

As of July 14 13, ~~2005~~2006, our commitments with respect to the above ~~obligations~~ obligations were as follows (in millions):

Cash management

We have historically funded the majority of our capital expenditures with cash provided by operating activities. We have on occasion obtained, and may in the future obtain, capitalized lease financing for certain expenditures related to equipment. Our investment requirements for new restaurant development include requirements for acquisition of land, building and equipment. Historically we have either acquired all of these assets for cash, or purchased building and equipment assets for cash and acquired a leasehold interest in land. We have entered into sale-leaseback arrangements for many of the land and building assets that we have purchased in the past, many of which have been accounted for as financing transactions. Since the initial net cash investment required for leased units is significantly lower than for owned properties, we intend to focus on leasing sites for future growth so that we only have to fund the equipment portion of our new restaurant capital costs from our cash flows. We believe that this will reduce our upfront cash requirements associated with new restaurant growth and enable us to increase our return on these investments, although it will result in significant long term obligations under either operating or capital leases.

35We are subject to changes in interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility that bear interest at floating rates. As of July 13, 2006, $20.8 million, or 14.2% of our total debt and capitalized lease obligations of $146.5 million, bears interest at a floating rate. A hypothetical one hundred basis point increase in interest rates for our variable rate borrowings as of July 13, 2006, would increase our future interest expense by approximately $0.2 million per year. This sensitivity analysis does not factor in potential changes in the level of our variable interest rate borrowings, or any actions that we might take to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Many of the ingredients purchased for use in the products sold to our guests are subject to unpredictable price volatility outside of our control. We We try to manage this risk by entering into selective short-term agreements for the products we use most extensively. Also, we believe that our commodity cost risk is diversified as many of our food ingredients are available from several sources and we have the ability to modify recipes or vary our menu items offered. Historically, we have also been able to increase certain menu prices in in response to food commodity price increases and believe the opportunity may exist in the future. To compensate for a hypothetical price increase of 10% for food ingredients, we would need to increase prices charged to our guests by an average of approximately 2.63%. We have not historically used financial instruments to hedge our commodity ingredient prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Within the 9084-day period prior to the filing date of this report, our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Based upon their evaluation, ~~our~~ our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures ~~were~~are effective in alerting them timely to material information required to be included in our Exchange Act filings. ~~due~~There ~~primarily~~have tonot ~~the~~been ~~lease~~any ~~restatement~~significant ~~issue~~changes ~~noted~~in ~~below~~our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

OnLimitations March 21, 2005, we announced that our financial statements were likely to be restated, relating to certain lease accounting and leasehold improvement depreciation accounting practices, consistent with similar adjustments made by many other retailers and other publicly traded companies concerning these practices. This restatement is described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Form 10-K/A we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on ~~May 18, 2005. Our conclusion to change our accounting policies and restate was made, among other things, in consideration of~~ the ~~views~~ ofEffectiveness ~~the Office~~ of the Chief Accountant of the SEC expressed in its letter related to these matters dated February 7, 2005. Accordingly, we concluded that our controls over the selection of appropriate assumptions and factors affecting lease accounting practices and the calculation of deferred taxes in relation to business combinations were not effective, which we believe represented a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.Controls

LimitationsPART onII the– EffectivenessOTHER of ControlsINFORMATION

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, and that controls can be circumvented by the acts of individuals or groups. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time-to-time, we have been involved in various lawsuits and claims arising from the conduct of our business. Such lawsuits typically involve claims from customers and others related to operational issues and complaints and allegations from former and current employees. These matters are believed to be common for restaurant businesses. We believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The parties entered into a settlement agreement, which was approved on June 1, 2005. Under the terms of the settlements, we agreed to pay up to an aggregate of $6.55 million for the alleged claims and associated legal fees, subject to partial indemnification as noted below.

We filed a lawsuit on December 3, 2004 against the former shareholders of Midway (the former parent of VICORP) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking indemnification for all of the damages related to such litigation under the purchase agreement dated June 14, 2003 pursuant to which VICORP was acquired, in addition to the assertion of other claims. The former shareholders of Midway filed a lawsuit on December 22, 2004 in Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts. The former shareholders of Midway claim, among other allegations, that we improperly sought indemnification and are denying liability for the portion of the damages in the previously mentioned class action lawsuits that arose following the closing of the June 2003 acquisition, and for certain settlements for which they claim they did not receive appropriate notice or approval rights.
