THE RESTAURANT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Organization

The Restaurant Company (the “Company,” “Perkins,” or “TRC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Restaurant Holding Corporation (“RHC”). TRC conducts business under the name “Perkins Restaurant and Bakery”. TRC is also the sole stockholder of TRC Realty LLC, The Restaurant Company of Minnesota and Perkins Finance Corp. RHC’s principal stockholders are Donald N. Smith (“Mr. Smith”), TRC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and BancBoston Ventures, Inc. (“BBV”). Mr. Smith is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Friendly Ice Cream Corporation (“FICC”), which operates and franchises approximately 550 restaurants, located primarily in the northeastern United States.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of TRC have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The results for the periods indicated are unaudited but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year of operations. The notes to the financial statements contained in the 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Change in Accounting Reporting Period

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company converted its financial reporting from a calendar year basis to thirteen four-week periods ending on the last Sunday in December. The first quarter each year will include four four-week periods. The first, second and third quarters of 2002 ended on April 21, July 14 and October 6, respectively. The fourth quarter will end on December 29.

Contingencies

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe it is likely that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In the past, the Company has sponsored financing programs offered by certain lending institutions to assist its franchisees in procuring funds for the construction of new franchised restaurants and to purchase and install in-store bakeries. The Company provided a limited guaranty of funds borrowed. The Company’s obligations under these agreements expired during the first quarter of 2002.

On June 9, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to guarantee fifty percent of borrowings up to a total guarantee of $1,500,000 for use by a franchisee to remodel and upgrade existing restaurants. As of October 6, 2002, there were $3,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under this agreement of which $1,500,000 were guaranteed by the Company.
