NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Panera Bread Company and its subsidiaries (the
Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP), under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2010. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such
audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2010 as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2011.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements consist of the accounts of Panera Bread Company and
its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 28, 2010 was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of its
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal
year.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions occurring between the balance sheet date and
the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12 for information
related to subsequent events.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 30, 2009, the Company adopted the updated guidance issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a
reporting entity to separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. The updated
guidance also requires that an entity provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of
assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure
fair value for both recurring and non-recurring Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This
guidance was effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2009. The adoption of this updated guidance did not have an impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the updated guidance
requires that in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs, or Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity separately disclose information
about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis rather than as one net number.
This guidance was effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2010. The adoption of this updated guidance did not have an impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 2. Business Combinations and Divestitures
Texas Divestiture
On February 9, 2011, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of two Paradise Bakery & Café
(Paradise) bakery-cafes to an existing Texas franchisee for a sales price of approximately $0.1
million, resulting in a nominal gain, which is classified in other (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Milwaukee Franchisee Acquisition
On April 19, 2011 the Company purchased substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of 25
bakery-cafes and the area development rights from a Milwaukee franchisee for a purchase price of
approximately $41.9 million. Approximately $39.8 million of the purchase price was paid on April
19, 2011, with $2.1 million retained by the Company for certain holdbacks. The holdbacks are
primarily for certain indemnifications and expire on the 18 month anniversary of the transaction
closing date, October 19, 2012, with any remaining holdback amounts reverting to the prior
franchisee. As a result of the acquisition, the Company gained control of the 25 bakery-cafes and
expanded Company-owned operations into Wisconsin. The Consolidated Statements of Operations include
the results of operations from the operating bakery-cafes from the date of the acquisition.

Table of Contents
The acquired business contributed revenues of $11.4 million and net income of less than $0.1
million for the period from April 20, 2011 through June 28, 2011. The following supplemental pro
forma information is presented for comparative purposes and does not purport to
be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on December 30, 2009, nor
are they indicative of any future results (in thousands):

The pro forma amounts included in the table above reflect the application of the Companys
accounting policies and adjustment of the results of the Milwaukee bakery-cafes to reflect the
additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value
adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from December 30,
2009, together with the consequential tax impacts.
The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the
acquisition at their estimated fair values with the remainder allocated to tax deductible goodwill
as follows: $0.4 million to inventories, $9.3 million to property and equipment, $23.3 million to
intangible assets, which represents the fair value of re-acquired territory rights and favorable
lease agreements, $1.7 million to liabilities, and $10.6 million to goodwill. The fair value
measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date is based
on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.
Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the
acquired bakery-cafes and synergies expected to arise from cost savings opportunities. All of the
recorded goodwill is anticipated to be tax deductible and is included in the Company Bakery-Cafe
Operations segment.
New Jersey Franchisee Acquisition
On September 29, 2010 the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities
of 37 bakery-cafes and the area development rights from a New Jersey franchisee for a purchase
price of approximately $55.0 million. Approximately $52.2 million of the purchase price was paid on
September 29, 2010, with $2.8 million retained by the Company for certain holdbacks. The holdbacks
are primarily for certain indemnifications and expire on the first anniversary of the transaction
closing date, September 29, 2011, with any remaining holdback amounts reverting to the prior
franchisee. As a result of the acquisition, the Company gained control of the 37 bakery-cafes and
expanded Company-owned operations into New Jersey. The Consolidated Statements of Operations
include the results of operations from the operating bakery-cafes from the date of the acquisition.
The following supplemental pro forma information is presented for comparative purposes and does not
purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on December 30,
2009, nor are they indicative of any future results (in thousands):

The pro forma amounts included in the table above reflect the application of the Companys
accounting policies and adjustment of the results of the New Jersey bakery-cafes to reflect the
additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value
adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from December 30,
2009, together with the consequential tax impacts.
The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the
acquisition at their estimated fair values with the remainder allocated to tax deductible goodwill
as follows: $0.5 million to inventories, $19.9 million to property and equipment, $31.2 million to
intangible assets, which represents the fair value of re-acquired territory rights and favorable
lease agreements, $1.2 million to liabilities, and $4.6 million to goodwill. The fair value
measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date is based
on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.
Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the
acquired bakery-cafes and synergies expected to arise from cost savings opportunities. All of the
recorded goodwill is anticipated to be tax deductible and is included in the Company Bakery-Cafe
Operations segment.

Alabama Divestiture
On April 27, 2010, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of three bakery-cafes and the
area development rights for Mobile, Alabama to an existing franchisee for a sales price of
approximately $2.2 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $0.6 million, which was classified
in other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Canada Franchisee Acquisition
On September 10, 2008, the Companys Canadian subsidiary, Panera Bread ULC, as lender, entered into
a Cdn. $3.5 million secured revolving credit facility agreement and franchise agreements with
Millennium Bread Inc. (Millennium) and certain of Millenniums present and future subsidiaries
(the Franchise Guarantors), pursuant to which Millennium would operate three Panera Bread
bakery-cafes in Ontario, Canada.
On March 30, 2010, PB Biscuit, ULC (PB Biscuit) was formed by Panera Bread ULC through the
contribution of its Cdn. $3.5 million note receivable from Millennium and cash. On March 31, 2010,
PB Biscuit acquired certain assets and liabilities and the operations of Millenniums three Panera
Bread bakery-cafes. In exchange for the bakery-cafe operations and certain assets and liabilities,
PB Biscuit assigned the Cdn. $3.5 million note receivable to and issued noncontrolling interest to
Millennium at a fair value of $0.6 million (28.5 percent ownership of PB Biscuits voting shares),
for a total consideration of $4.1 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Consolidated
Statements of Operations include the results of operations from the operating bakery-cafes from the
date of the acquisition. This non-cash transaction is excluded from the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. The pro forma impact of the acquisition on
prior periods is not presented, as the impact was not material to reported results. The Company
allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the acquisition at
their estimated fair values with the remainder allocated to tax deductible goodwill as follows:
$2.3 million to property and equipment, $0.5 million of net assumed current liabilities, and $2.3
million to goodwill.
On December 28, 2010, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolling interest of Millennium for
$0.7 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, by adjusting the carrying
amount of the noncontrolling interest balance to reflect the change in the Companys ownership
interest in Millennium, with the difference between fair value of the consideration paid and the
amount by which the noncontrolling interest was adjusted recognized in equity attributable to the
Company.

Note 8. Credit Facility
The Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, are parties to an
amended and restated credit agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) with Bank of
America, N.A. and other lenders party thereto, which provides for a secured revolving credit
facility of $250.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital,
capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, and share repurchases. The Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, which is collateralized by the capital stock of the Companys present and future
material subsidiaries, will become due on March 7, 2013, subject to acceleration upon certain
specified events of default.
As of June 28, 2011 and December 28, 2010, the Company had no balance outstanding under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company incurred $0.1 million of commitment fees for each of the
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 and June 29, 2010 and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 and June 29, 2010, respectively. Accrued interest related to
the commitment fees was $0.1 million at both June 28, 2011 and December 28, 2010. As of June 28,
2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants included in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Obligations
As of June 28, 2011, the Company guaranteed operating leases of 26 franchisee or affiliate
locations, which the Company accounted for in accordance with the accounting standard for
guarantees. These leases have terms expiring on various dates from July 31, 2011 to December 31,
2023 and a potential amount of future rental payments of approximately $23.4 million as of June 28,
2011. The obligations under these leases will generally decrease over time as these operating
leases expire. The Company has not recorded a liability for certain of these guarantees as they
arose prior to the implementation of the accounting standard for guarantees and, unless modified,
are exempt from its requirements. The Company has not recorded a liability for those guarantees
issued after the effective date of this accounting standard because the fair value of each such
lease guarantee was determined by the Company to be insignificant based on an analysis of the facts
and circumstances of each such lease and each such franchisees performance, and the Company did
not believe it was probable it would be required to perform under any guarantees at the time the
guarantees were issued. The Company has not had to make any payments related to any of these
guaranteed leases. The applicable franchisees or affiliates continue to have primary liability for
these operating leases.
Legal Proceedings
On January 25, 2008 and February 26, 2008, purported class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company and three of the Companys current or former executive officers by the Western Washington
Laborers-Employers Pension Trust and Sue Trachet, respectively, on behalf of investors who
purchased the Companys common stock during the period between November 1, 2005 and July 26, 2006.
Both lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri,
St. Louis Division. Each complaint alleged that the Company and the other defendants violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act in connection with the Companys disclosure of system-wide
net sales and earnings guidance during the period from November 1, 2005 through July 26, 2006. Each
complaint sought, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified damages,
costs and expenses, including attorneys and experts fees, and such other relief as the Court
might find just and proper. On June 23, 2008, the lawsuits were consolidated and the Western
Washington Laborers-Employers Pension Trust was appointed lead plaintiff. On August 7, 2008, the
plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which extended the class period to November 1, 2005 through
July 26, 2007. Following the filing of motions by both parties and hearings before the Court, on
February 11, 2011, the parties filed with the Court a Stipulation of Settlement regarding the class
action lawsuit. Under the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, the Companys primary directors
and officers liability insurer deposited $5.7 million into a settlement fund for payment to class
members, plaintiffs attorneys fees and costs of administering the settlement. The Stipulation of
Settlement contains no admission of wrongdoing. On February 22, 2011, the Court preliminarily
approved the settlement, and on June 22, 2011, the Court granted final approval of the settlement
and entered an order dismissing the class action lawsuit with prejudice. The settlement and
dismissal became final on July 22, 2011. The amount deposited by the Companys primary directors
and officers liability insurer into the settlement fund of $5.7 million is included in other
accounts receivable and accrued expenses in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June
28, 2011.
On February 22, 2008, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the Company as nominal
defendant and against certain of its current or former officers and certain current directors. The
lawsuit was filed by Paul Pashcetto in the Circuit Court of St. Louis, Missouri. The complaint
alleged, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets
and unjust enrichment between November 5, 2006 and February 22, 2008. The complaint sought, among
other relief, unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, an order
requiring the Company to implement certain corporate governance reforms, restitution from the
defendants and such other relief as the Court might find just and proper. Following the filing of
motions by both parties and hearings before the Court, on February 22, 2011, the parties filed with
the Court a Stipulation of Settlement regarding the shareholder derivative lawsuit. Under the terms
of the Stipulation of Settlement, the Company agreed, among other things, to implement and maintain
certain corporate governance additions, modifications and/or formalizations, and its insurer paid
plaintiffs attorneys fees and expenses of $1.4 million. The Stipulation of Settlement contains no
admission of wrongdoing. On April 8, 2011, the Court granted
final approval of the settlement and entered an order dismissing the
shareholder derivative lawsuit with prejudice. The settlement and dismissal became final
on May 8, 2011. The amount deposited by the Companys primary directors and officers liability
insurer into the settlement fund of $1.4 million is included in other accounts receivable and
accrued expenses in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2011.
On December 9, 2009, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and one of its
subsidiaries by Nick Sotoudeh, a former employee of the Company. The lawsuit was filed in the
California Superior Court, County of Contra Costa. On April 22, 2011, the lawsuit was amended to
add another former employee, Gabriela Brizuela, to the original suit. The complaint alleges, among
other things, violations of the California Labor Code, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide
meal and rest periods and termination compensation and violations of Californias Unfair
Competition Law. The complaint seeks, among other relief, collective and class certification of the
lawsuit, unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, and such other relief
as the Court might find just and proper. The Company believes it and the other defendant have
meritorious defenses to each of the claims in this lawsuit and the Company is prepared to
vigorously defend the lawsuit. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations in the period in which the
lawsuit is resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if
any, related to the lawsuit and as such, has not recorded a liability in its Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

On December 16, 2010, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company by Denarius
Lewis and Corey Weiner, former employees of one of the Companys subsidiaries, and Caroll Ruiz, an
employee of one of the Companys franchisees. The lawsuit was
filed in the United States District Court for Middle District of Florida. The complaint alleges,
among other things, violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The complaint seeks, among other
relief, collective, and class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified damages, costs and
expenses, including attorneys fees and such other relief as the Court might find just and proper.
The Company believes it and the other defendant have meritorious defenses to each of the claims in
this lawsuit and the Company is prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuit
could have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results
of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved. The Company is not presently able to
reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuit and as such, has not recorded
a liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On December 20, 2010, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company by Jamie
Ortiz, a former employee of one of the Companys subsidiaries. The lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Virginia. The complaint alleges, among other
things, violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Mr. Ortiz also has alleged several individual
claims for Title VII retaliation, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The
complaint seeks, among other relief, collective, and class certification of the lawsuit,
unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and such other relief as the
Court might find just and proper. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to each of the
claims in this lawsuit and the Company is prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful, and an adverse resolution of the
lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and
results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved. The Company is not presently
able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuit and as such, has not
recorded a liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In addition, the Company is subject to other routine legal proceedings, claims, and litigation in
the ordinary course of its business. Defending lawsuits requires significant management attention
and financial resources and the outcome of any litigation, including the matters described above,
is inherently uncertain. The Company does not, however, currently expect that the costs to resolve
these routine matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows individually or in the aggregate.
Other
The Company is subject to on-going federal and state income tax audits and sales tax audits and any
unfavorable rulings could materially and adversely affect its consolidated financial condition or
results of operations. The Company believes reserves for these matters are adequately provided for
in its consolidated financial statements.
Note 10. Business Segment Information
The Company operates three business segments. The Company Bakery-Cafe Operations segment is
comprised of the operating activities of the bakery-cafes owned directly and indirectly by the
Company. The Company-owned bakery-cafes conduct business under the Panera Bread®, Saint Louis Bread
Co.® or Paradise Bakery & Café® names. These bakery-cafes offer some or all of the following: fresh
baked goods, made-to-order sandwiches on freshly baked breads, soups, salads, custom roasted
coffees, and other complementary products through on-premise sales, as well as catering.
The Franchise Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the franchise business
unit which licenses qualified operators to conduct business under the Panera Bread or Paradise
Bakery & Café names and also monitors the operations of these bakery-cafes. Under the terms of most
of the agreements, the licensed operators pay royalties and fees to the Company in return for the
use of the Panera Bread or Paradise Bakery & Café names and other services.
The Fresh Dough and Other Product Operations segment supplies fresh dough, produce, tuna, cream
cheese and indirectly supplies proprietary sweet goods items through a contract manufacturing
arrangement, to Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes. The fresh dough is sold to a
number of Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes at a delivered cost generally not to
exceed 27 percent of the retail value of the end product. The sales and related costs to the
franchise-operated bakery-cafes are separately stated line items in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The operating profit related to the sales to Company-owned bakery-cafes is classified
as a reduction of the costs in the cost of food and paper products in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.

Note 12. Subsequent Events
The Company has had initiatives underway to better align its Paradise Company-owned and
franchise-operated bakery-cafes. These actions resulted in the acquisition of the one franchisee as
well as the mutual termination of franchisee agreements and de-identification of cafes associated
with two other franchisees.
On July 26, 2011, the Company purchased substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of
five Paradise bakery-cafes and the area development rights from an Indiana franchisee for a
purchase price of approximately $5.1 million, which the Company paid with cash on hand at the time
of closing. The Companys results for the reported periods were not impacted by this acquisition as
it was completed subsequent to June 28, 2011.
Effective June 30, 2011, the franchisee agreements for 13 franchise-operated Paradise bakery-cafes
in the Denver and Portland markets were mutually terminated and the aforementioned cafes
de-identified from the Paradise brand. The de-identified bakery-cafes will no longer display the
Paradise name or resemblance, nor will they retain any operating relationships with the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report and in our public disclosures, whether written or oral, relating
to future events or our future performance, including any discussion expressed or implied, of our
anticipated growth, operating results, future earnings per share, plans, and objectives contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act. These statements are often
identified by the words believe, positioned, estimate, project, plan, goal, target,
continue, intend, expect, future, anticipate, and similar expressions whether in the
negative or the affirmative, that are not statements of historical fact. These statements are not
guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including,
but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report and those
discussed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports, or SEC, including
our Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2010 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. All
forward-looking statements and the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our
expectations included in this report or other periodic reports represent our estimates as of the
date made and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date.
While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we expressly
disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
that arise after the date such statement was made.
General
Panera Bread Company and its subsidiaries may be referred to as the Company, Panera Bread, or
in the first person notation of we, us, and our in the following discussion.
Our revenues are derived from Company-owned net bakery-cafe sales, fresh dough and other product
sales to franchisees, and franchise royalties and fees. Fresh dough and other product sales to
franchisees are primarily the sales of fresh dough, produce, tuna, and cream cheese to certain of
our franchisees. Franchise royalties and fees include royalty income and franchise fees. The cost
of food and paper
products, labor, occupancy, and other operating expenses relate primarily to Company-owned net
bakery-cafe sales. The cost of fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees relates primarily
to the sale of fresh dough, produce, tuna, and cream cheese to certain of our franchisees. General
and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and pre-opening expenses relate to all areas of
revenue generation.
Use of Non-GAAP Measurements
We include in this report information on Company-owned, franchise-operated, and system-wide
comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages. Company-owned comparable net bakery-cafe sales
percentages are based on net sales from Company-owned bakery-cafes included in our base store
bakery-cafes. Franchise-operated comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages are based on net
sales from franchised bakery-cafes, as reported by franchisees, that are included in our base store
bakery-cafes. System-wide comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages are based on net sales at
Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes that are included in our base store bakery-cafes.
Acquired Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes and other restaurant or bakery-cafe
concepts are included in our comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages after we have acquired a
100 percent ownership interest and such acquisition occurred prior to the first day of our prior
fiscal year. Comparable net bakery-cafe sales exclude closed locations.

Table of Contents
Comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages are non-GAAP financial measures, which should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and may not be
equivalent to comparable net bakery-cafe sales as defined or used by other companies. We do not
record franchise-operated net bakery-cafe sales as revenues. However, royalty revenues are
calculated based on a percentage of franchise-operated net bakery-cafe sales, as reported by
franchisees. We use franchise-operated and system-wide net sales information internally in
connection with store development decisions, planning, and budgeting analyses. We believe
franchise-operated and system-wide net sales information is useful in assessing consumer acceptance
of our brand, facilitates an understanding of our financial performance and the overall direction
and trends of net sales and operating income, helps us appreciate the effectiveness of our
advertising and marketing initiatives, to which our franchisees also contribute based on a
percentage of their net sales, and provides information that is relevant for comparison within the
industry.
We also include in this report information on Company-owned, franchise-operated, and system-wide
average weekly net sales. Average weekly net sales are calculated by dividing total net sales in
the period by operating weeks in the period. Accordingly, year-over-year results reflect net sales
for all locations, whereas comparable net bakery-cafe sales exclude closed locations and are based
on net sales from bakery-cafes included in our base store bakery-cafes. New stores typically
experience an opening honeymoon period during which they generate higher average weekly net sales
in the first 12 to 16 weeks they are open as customers settle-in to normal usage patterns from
initial trial of the location. On average, the settle-in experienced is 5 percent to 10 percent
less than the average weekly net sales during the honeymoon period. As a result, year-over-year
results of average weekly net sales are generally lower than the results in comparable net
bakery-cafe sales. This results from the relationship of the number of bakery-cafes in the
honeymoon phase, the number of bakery-cafes in the settle-in phase, and the number of
bakery-cafes in the comparable bakery-cafe base.
Executive Summary of Results
For the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011, we earned $1.18 per diluted share with the following
performance on key metrics: system-wide comparable net bakery-cafe sales grew 3.9 percent compared
to the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010 (growth of 4.4 percent for Company-owned bakery-cafes and
growth of 3.6 percent for franchise-operated bakery-cafes); system-wide average weekly net sales
increased 3.2 percent to $44,268 ($44,118 for Company-owned bakery-cafes and $44,398 for
franchise-operated bakery-cafes); and 28 new bakery-cafes opened system-wide (13 Company-owned
bakery-cafes and 15 franchise-operated bakery-cafes) and two franchise-operated bakery-cafes
closed. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we acquired 25 bakery-cafes in the
Milwaukee market from a franchisee, as described in Note 2.
For the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010, we earned $0.85 per diluted share with the following
performance on key metrics: system-wide comparable net bakery-cafe sales grew 9.9 percent compared
to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2009 (growth of 9.6 percent for Company-owned bakery-cafes and
growth of 10.1 percent for franchise-operated bakery-cafes); system-wide average weekly net sales
increased 9.2 percent to $42,903 ($41,940 for Company-owned bakery-cafes and $43,615 for

2010 of $0.85 per diluted share included a favorable impact of $0.01 per diluted share from the
repurchase of 897,556 shares under its $600.0 million share repurchase authorization. This
favorable impact was offset by the negative impact of $0.05 per diluted share related to an

bakery-cafes and 10 franchise-operated bakery-cafes); and two bakery-cafes closed system-wide (one

Canada market from a franchisee, as described in Note 2. Our results for twenty-six weeks ended
June 29, 2010 of $1.67 per diluted share included a favorable impact of $0.01 per diluted share
from the repurchase of 897,556 shares under our $600.0 million share repurchase authorization. This
favorable impact was offset by the negative impact of $0.05 per diluted share related to an
on-going unclaimed property audit.

compared to $378.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. The growth in total revenues
for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to
the opening of 102 new bakery-cafes system-wide since June 29, 2010 and to the 3.9 percent increase
in system-wide comparable net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011. The

Net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 increased 22.4 percent to $394.5
million compared to $322.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. The increase in net
bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010
was primarily due to the opening of 52 new Company-owned bakery-cafes, the acquisition of 62
franchise-operated bakery-cafes since June 29, 2010, and the 4.4 percent increase in Company-owned
comparable net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011, partially offset by
the closure of four Company-owned bakery-cafes and the sale of two Company-owned bakery-cafes since
June 29, 2010. This 4.4 percent growth in comparable net bakery-cafe sales was driven by
approximately 2.9 percent of transaction growth and approximately 1.5 percent average check growth.
Average check growth, in turn, was comprised of retail price increases of approximately 2.5 percent
and negative mix impact of approximately 1.0 percent in comparison to the same period in the prior
year. In total, Company-owned net bakery-cafe sales as a percentage of total revenues increased to
87.5 percent for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 as compared to 85.3 percent for the same
period in 2010. The increase in average weekly net sales for Company-owned bakery-cafes for the

As of June 28, 2011, we had 790 franchise-operated bakery-cafes open and we have received
commitments to open 207 additional franchise-operated bakery-cafes. The timetables for opening
these bakery-cafes are established in the respective Area Development Agreements, referred to as
ADAs, with franchisees, which provide for the majority to open in the next four to five years. An
ADA requires a franchisee to develop a specified number of bakery-cafes on or before specific
dates. If a franchisee fails to develop bakery-cafes on the schedule set forth in the ADA, we have
the right to terminate the ADA and develop Company-owned locations or develop locations through new
franchisees in that market. We may exercise one or more alternative remedies to address defaults by
franchisees, including not only development defaults, but also defaults in complying with our
operating and brand standards and other covenants included in the ADAs and franchise agreements. We
may waive compliance with certain requirements included in our ADAs and franchise agreements if we
determine such action is warranted under the particular circumstances.

Fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011
decreased 1.5 percent to $33.5 million compared to $34.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June
29, 2010. Fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees for the twenty-six weeks ended June
28, 2011 increased 4.0 percent to $67.5 million compared to $64.9 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29, 2010. The decrease in fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees for the
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 was primarily due to our purchase of 62
franchise-operated bakery-cafes, of which 25 franchise-operated bakery-cafes were purchased during
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011, and the closure of four franchise-operated bakery-cafes since
June 29, 2010, partially offset by the 3.6 percent increase in franchise-operated comparable net
bakery-cafe sales. The increase in fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees for the
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 was primarily due to the 3.5 percent increase in
franchise-operated comparable net bakery-cafe sales, partially offset
by our purchase of 62 franchise-operated bakery-cafes and the closure of four franchise-operated bakery-cafes since
June 29, 2010.
Costs and Expenses
The cost of food and paper products includes the costs associated with our fresh dough and other
product operations that sell fresh dough and other products to Company-owned bakery-cafes, as well
as the cost of food and paper products supplied by third-party vendors and distributors. The costs
associated with our fresh dough and other product operations that sell fresh dough and other
products to the franchise-operated bakery-cafes are excluded from the cost of food and paper
products and are shown separately as fresh dough and other product cost of sales to franchisees in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The cost of food and paper products was $117.2 million, or 29.7 percent of net bakery-cafe sales,
for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $90.7 million, or 28.1 percent of net
bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. The cost of food and paper products
was $223.5 million, or 29.4 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June
28, 2011 compared to $181.0 million, or 28.5 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six
weeks ended June 29, 2010. This increase in the cost of food and paper products as a percentage of
net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to the
same periods in 2010 was primarily due to food cost inflation of approximately four to five
percent, partially offset by improved leverage of our fresh dough manufacturing costs due to
additional bakery-cafe openings and improved leverage from higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales.
For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011, there was an average of 68.9 and 68.4
bakery-cafes per fresh dough facility compared to an average of 64.7 and 64.4 as of June 29, 2010,
respectively.
Labor expense was $118.9 million, or 30.1 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks
ended June 28, 2011 compared to $103.0 million, or 32.0 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the
thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. Labor expense was $233.0 million, or 30.7 percent of net
bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $203.7 million, or 32.1
percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. The decrease in
labor expense as a percentage of net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
June 28, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily a result of improved leverage from
higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales, lower benefits costs due to lower than expected
self-insurance claims, and lower average wage in our bakery-cafes.
Occupancy cost was $28.1 million, or 7.1 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the thirteen weeks
ended June 28, 2011 compared to $24.7 million, or 7.6 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the
thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. Occupancy cost was $54.9 million, or 7.2 percent of net
bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $49.0 million, or 7.7
percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. The decrease in
occupancy cost as a percentage of net bakery-cafe sales between the thirteen and twenty-six weeks
ended June 28, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily a result of common area
maintenance credits, as landlords spent less on common area maintenance in prior years than
anticipated, improved leverage from higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales, and lower occupancy
costs in new bakery-cafes and favorably negotiated leases in existing bakery-cafes.
Other operating expenses were $54.7 million, or 13.9 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $43.9 million, or 13.6 percent of net bakery-cafe
sales, for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. Other operating expenses were $102.1 million, or
13.4 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to
$83.5 million, or 13.1 percent of net bakery-cafe sales, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29,
2010. The increase in other operating expenses as a
percentage of net bakery-cafe sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011
compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily a result of increased marketing expense,
partially offset by leverage from higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales.
Fresh dough and other product cost of sales to franchisees were $28.6 million, or 85.4 percent of
fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees, for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011,
compared to $27.8 million, or 81.6 percent of fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees,
for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. Fresh dough and other product cost of sales to
franchisees were $56.7 million, or 84.0 percent of fresh dough and other product sales to
franchisees, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011, compared to $52.6 million, or 81.1
percent of fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees, for the twenty-six weeks ended June
29, 2010. The increase in fresh dough and other product costs of sales to franchisees as a
percentage of fresh dough and other product sales to franchisees for the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily the result of the
year-over-year increase in ingredient costs, partially offset by improved leverage from new
bakery-cafes and higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales.

General and administrative expenses were $25.0 million, or 5.5 percent of total revenues, for the
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $24.1 million, or 6.4 percent of total revenues, for
the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. General and administrative expenses were $51.7 million, or
5.9 percent of total revenues, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $49.1
million, or 6.6 percent of total revenues, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues for the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily due to
improved leverage from new bakery-cafes and higher comparable net bakery-cafe sales.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $0.2 million, or less than 0.1 percent of total revenues, for both the
thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 and June 29, 2010. Interest expense was $0.4 million, or less
than 0.1 percent of total revenues, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $0.3
million, or less than 0.1 percent of total revenues, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010.
Other (Income) and Expense, net
Other (income) and expense, net was $0.2 million of income, or less than 0.1 percent of total
revenues, for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $3.0 million of expense, or 0.8
percent of total revenues, for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. Other (income) and expense,
net was $1.0 million of income, or 0.1 percent of total revenues, for the twenty-six weeks ended
June 28, 2011 compared to $3.3 million of expense, or 0.4 percent of total revenues, for the
twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. Other (income) and expense, net for the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 was primarily comprised of immaterial items. Other (income)
and expense, net for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010 was primarily comprised
of charges related to unclaimed property audit exposures, certain state sales tax audit exposures,
and immaterial items.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased to $21.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28,
2011 compared to $16.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2010. The tax provision for
the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2011 and June 29, 2010 reflects a combined federal, state, and
local effective tax rate of 37.5 percent and 37.9 percent, respectively. The provision for income
taxes increased to $42.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 compared to $32.1
million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010. The tax provision for both the twenty-six
weeks ended June 28, 2011 and June 29, 2010 reflects a combined federal, state, and local effective
tax rate of 38.1 percent and 38.0 percent, respectively. The decrease in the thirteen week period
rate was primarily driven by an increase in permanent benefits recognized in the current period
relating to differences between financial and tax reporting requirements. The modest increase in
the twenty-six week period rate was primarily driven by a decrease in permanent benefits recognized
in the current period relating to differences between financial and tax reporting requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $229.6 million at June 28, 2011 compared with $229.3 million at
December 28, 2010. This modest increase was primarily a result of $84.9 million of cash generated
from operations and $2.0 million of cash generated from financing operations, partially offset by
$47.0 million used on capital expenditures and $39.7 million used for acquisitions during the
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by
operations, although we have the ability to borrow under a credit facility, as described below.
Historically, our principal requirements for cash have primarily resulted from the cost of food and
paper products, employee labor, and our capital expenditures for the development of new
Company-owned bakery-cafes, for maintaining or remodeling existing Company-owned bakery-cafes, for
purchasing existing franchise-operated bakery-cafes or ownership interests in other restaurant or
bakery-cafe concepts, for developing, maintaining, or remodeling fresh dough facilities, and for
other capital needs such as enhancements to information systems and other infrastructure.
We had working capital of $150.7 million at June 28, 2011 compared to $119.2 million at December
28, 2010. The increase in working capital from December 28, 2010 to June 28, 2011 resulted
primarily from a decrease in accrued expenses of $19.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and
other of $10.7 million, and an increase in trade and other accounts receivable, net of $10.2
million, partially offset
by a decrease of $4.6 million in deferred income taxes and an increase in accounts payable of $4.6
million. We believe that cash provided by our operations and available borrowings under our
existing credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable
future.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 resulted
primarily from net income, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation expense, and deferred income taxes, partially offset by a decrease in

Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are the largest ongoing component of our investing activities and include
expenditures for new bakery-cafes and fresh dough facilities, improvements to existing bakery-cafes
and fresh dough facilities, and other capital needs. A summary of capital expenditures for the
periods indicated consisted of the following (in thousands):

Our capital requirements, including development costs related to the opening or acquisition of
additional bakery-cafes and fresh dough facilities and maintenance and remodel expenditures, have
been and will continue to be significant. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of
available funds will depend on many factors, including the pace of expansion, real estate markets,
site locations, and the nature of arrangements negotiated with landlords. We believe that cash
provided by our operations and available borrowings under our existing credit facility will be
sufficient to fund our capital requirements in both our short-term and long-term future. We
currently anticipate 100 to 105 system-wide bakery-cafe openings in the fiscal year ended December
27, 2011, or fiscal 2011.
Investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 included additions to property
and equipment of $47.0 million offset by $0.1 million received from the sale of the two
bakery-cafes.
Business Combinations
We used approximately $39.7 million of cash flows for acquisitions, in the twenty-six weeks ended
June 28, 2011. In the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011, we purchased substantially all the
assets and certain liabilities of 25 bakery-cafes from a Milwaukee franchisee. Refer to Note 2 for
further information related to business combinations.
Financing Activities
Financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011 included $0.9 million used to
repurchase shares of our Class A common stock, partially offset by $1.0 million received from the
exercise of employee stock options, $1.0 million received from the issuance of common stock, and
$0.9 million received from the tax benefit from exercise of stock options. Financing activities for
the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010 included $71.4 million used to repurchase shares of our
Class A common stock, partially offset by $21.7 million received from the exercise of employee
stock options, $5.1 million received from the tax benefit from exercise of stock options, and $0.9
million received from the issuance of common stock.

Share Repurchases
On November 17, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a three year share repurchase authorization
of up to $600.0 million of our Class A common stock, pursuant to which share repurchases may be
effected from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and which may
be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Repurchased shares may be retired immediately and will resume the
status of authorized but unissued shares or they may be held by us as treasury stock. The
repurchase authorization may be modified, suspended, or discontinued by our Board of Directors at
any time. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011, we did not repurchase any shares under
the share repurchase authorization. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2010, we repurchased
897,556 shares under the share repurchase authorization at an average price of $78.95. As of the
date of this report, under the share repurchase authorization, we repurchased a total of 1,932,969
shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted-average price of $78.50 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $152.0 million. We have approximately $448.0 million available
under the existing $600.0 million repurchase authorization.
We have historically repurchased shares of our Class A common stock through a share repurchase
authorization approved by our Board of Directors from participants of the Panera Bread 1992 Stock
Incentive Plan and the Panera Bread 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, or collectively, the Plans.
Repurchased shares are netted and surrendered as payment for applicable tax withholding on the
vesting of participants restricted stock. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2011, we
repurchased 7,306 shares of Class A common stock surrendered by participants of the Plans at a
weighted-average price of $122.03 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $0.9 million
pursuant to the terms of the Plans and the applicable award agreements. During the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29, 2010, we repurchased 6,534 shares of Class A common stock surrendered by
participants of the Plans at a weighted-average price of $77.95 per share for an aggregate purchase
price of $0.5 million pursuant to the terms of the Plans and the applicable award agreements. These
share repurchases were not made pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase authorizations.
Credit Facility
On March 7, 2008, we, and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered
into an amended and restated credit agreement, referred to as the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., and other lenders party thereto to amend and restate in its
entirety our Credit Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2007, by and among us, Bank of America,
N.A., and the lenders party thereto, referred to as the Original Credit Agreement. Pursuant to our
request under the terms of the Original Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
increased the size of our secured revolving credit facility from $75.0 million to $250.0 million.
We may select interest rates equal to (a) the Base Rate (which is defined as the higher of Bank of
America prime rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 percent), or (b) LIBOR plus an Applicable
Rate, ranging from 0.75 percent to 1.50 percent, based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as each
term is defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement allows us from time to time to request that the credit facility be further increased by
an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, $150.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments
and other conditions precedent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial
covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of certain leverage and fixed charges
coverage ratios. The credit facility, which is secured by the capital stock of our present and
future material subsidiaries, will become due on March 7, 2013, subject to acceleration upon
certain specified events of defaults, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure
to pay other material indebtedness or a change of control of our Company, as defined in the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement. The proceeds from the credit facility will be used for general
corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, and permitted acquisitions and
share repurchases. As of June 28, 2011 and December 28, 2010, we had no balance outstanding under
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 28, 2011, we were in compliance with
all covenants included in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based
on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used could yield materially different
accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our
accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the
facts and circumstances.
We have chosen accounting policies we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our
operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent
manner. As described in Item 7., Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2010, we consider our policies on accounting for revenue recognition, valuation of goodwill,
self-insurance, income taxes, lease obligations, and stock-based compensation to be the most
critical in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements because they involve the most
difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. There have been no material changes to our application of critical accounting policies
and significant judgments and estimates since December 28, 2010.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
We currently anticipate 100 to 105 system-wide bakery-cafe openings in fiscal 2011. We expect to
fund our capital expenditures principally through internally generated cash flow and available
borrowings under our existing credit facility, if needed.
In addition to our planned capital expenditure requirements, we have certain other contractual and
committed cash obligations. Our contractual cash obligations consist of noncancelable operating
leases for our bakery-cafes, fresh dough facilities and trucks, and support centers; purchase
obligations primarily for certain commodities; and uncertain tax positions. Lease terms for our
trucks are generally for six to eight years. Lease terms for our bakery-cafes, fresh dough
facilities, and support centers are generally for ten years with renewal options at most locations
and generally require us to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area
maintenance, and other operating costs. Many bakery-cafe leases provide for contingent rental (i.e.
percentage rent) payments based on net sales in excess of specified amounts or changes in external
indices. Certain of our lease agreements provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease
terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 28, 2011, we guaranteed operating leases of 26 franchisee or affiliate locations, which
we account for in accordance with the accounting standard for guarantees. These leases have terms
expiring on various dates from July 31, 2011 to December 31, 2023 and a potential amount of future
rental payments of approximately $23.4 million as of June 28, 2011. Our obligation under these
leases will generally decrease over time as these operating leases expire. We have not recorded a
liability for certain of these guarantees as they arose prior to the implementation of the
accounting standard for guarantees and, unless modified, are exempt from its requirements. We have
not recorded a liability for those guarantees issued after the effective date of the accounting
requirements because the fair value of each such lease guarantee was determined by us to be
insignificant based on analysis of the facts and circumstances of each such lease and each such
franchisees performance, and we did not believe it was probable we would be required to perform
under any guarantees at the time the guarantees were issued. We have not had to make any payments
related to any of these guaranteed leases. The applicable franchisees or affiliates continue to
have primary liability for these operating leases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 30, 2009, we adopted the updated guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, or FASB, related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a reporting
entity to separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level
2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. The updated guidance also
requires that an entity provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and
liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value
for both recurring and non-recurring Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance was
effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The
adoption of this updated guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations
or financial condition. In addition, the updated guidance requires that in the reconciliation for
fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a reporting entity
separately disclose information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis
rather than as one net number. This guidance was effective for interim or annual financial
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have
a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
There were no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative information about market risk
since the end of our most recent fiscal year. For further information, see Item 7A. of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2010.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2011. The term
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the
companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and
procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and
management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
June 28, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such
date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Table of Contents
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the second fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2011
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
On January 25, 2008 and February 26, 2008, purported class action lawsuits were filed against us
and three of our current or former executive officers by the Western Washington Laborers-Employers
Pension Trust and Sue Trachet, respectively, on behalf of investors who purchased our common stock
during the period between November 1, 2005 and July 26, 2006. Both lawsuits were filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, St. Louis Division. Each
complaint alleged that we and the other defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange
Act in connection with our disclosure of system-wide net sales and earnings guidance during the
period from November 1, 2005 through July 26, 2006. Each complaint sought, among other relief,
class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys
and experts fees, and such other relief as the Court might find just and proper. On June 23, 2008,
the lawsuits were consolidated and the Western Washington Laborers-Employers Pension Trust was
appointed lead plaintiff. On August 7, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which
extended the class period to November 1, 2005 through July 26, 2007. Following the filing of
motions by both parties and hearings before the Court, on February 11, 2011, the parties filed with
the Court a Stipulation of Settlement regarding the class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the
Stipulation of Settlement, our primary directors and officers liability insurer deposited $5.7
million into a settlement fund for payment to class members, plaintiffs attorneys fees and costs
of administering the settlement. The Stipulation of Settlement contains no admission of wrongdoing.
On February 22, 2011, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement, and on June 22, 2011, the
Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered an order dismissing the class action
lawsuit with prejudice. The settlement and dismissal became final on July 22, 2011. The amount
deposited by our primary directors and officers liability insurer into the settlement fund of $5.7
million is included in other accounts receivable and accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of June 28, 2011.
On February 22, 2008, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against us as nominal defendant
and against certain of our current or former officers and certain current directors. The lawsuit
was filed by Paul Pashcetto in the Circuit Court of St. Louis, Missouri. The complaint alleged,
among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets and
unjust enrichment between November 5, 2006 and February 22, 2008. The complaint sought, among other
relief, unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, an order requiring us
to implement certain corporate governance reforms, restitution from the defendants and such other
relief as the Court might find just and proper. Following the filing of motions by both parties and
hearings before the Court, on February 22, 2011, the parties filed with the Court a Stipulation of
Settlement regarding the shareholder derivative lawsuit. Under the terms of the Stipulation of
Settlement, we agreed, among other things, to implement and maintain certain corporate governance
additions, modifications and/or formalizations, and our insurer paid plaintiffs attorneys fees
and expenses of $1.4 million. The Stipulation of Settlement contains no admission of wrongdoing. On April 8, 2011, the
Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered an order dismissing the shareholder derivative lawsuit with prejudice. The
settlement and dismissal became final on May 8, 2011. The amount deposited by our primary directors and officers liability insurer into the settlement fund of $1.4
million is included in other accounts receivable and accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of June 28, 2011.
On December 9, 2009, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against us and one of our
subsidiaries by Nick Sotoudeh, a former employee of ours. The lawsuit was filed in the California
Superior Court, County of Contra Costa. On April 22, 2011, the lawsuit was amended to add another
former employee, Gabriela Brizuela, to the original suit. The complaint alleges, among other
things, violations of the California Labor Code, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal
and rest periods and termination compensation and violations of Californias Unfair Competition
Law. The complaint seeks, among other relief, collective and class certification of the lawsuit,
unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, and such other relief as the
Court might find just and proper. We believe we and the other defendant have meritorious defenses
to each of the claims in this lawsuit and we are prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit. There
can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuit
could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved. We are not presently able to reasonably
estimate potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuit and as such, have not recorded a
liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On December 16, 2010, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against us by Denarius Lewis and
Corey Weiner, former employees of one of our subsidiaries, and Caroll Ruiz, an employee of one of
our franchisees. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for Middle District of
Florida. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The
complaint seeks, among other relief, collective and class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified
damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, and such other relief as the Court might
find just and proper. We believe we and the other defendant have meritorious defenses to each of
the claims in this lawsuit and we are prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit. There can be no
assurance, however, that we will be successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuit could have
a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations in the
period in which the lawsuit is resolved. We are not presently able to reasonably estimate potential
losses, if any, related to the lawsuit and as such, have not recorded a liability in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
On December 20, 2010, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against us by Jamie Ortiz, a
former employee of one of our subsidiaries. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Virginia. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations
of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Mr. Ortiz also has alleged several individual claims for Title VII
retaliation, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint seeks,
among other relief, collective, and class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified damages, costs
and expenses, including attorneys fees and such other relief as the Court might find just and
proper. We believe we have meritorious defenses to each of the claims in this lawsuit and we are
prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be
successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is
resolved. We are not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to the
lawsuit and as such, have not recorded a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In addition, we are subject to other routine legal proceedings, claims and litigation in the
ordinary course of business. Defending lawsuits requires significant management attention and
financial resources and the outcome of any litigation, including the matters described above, is
inherently uncertain. We do not, however, currently expect that the costs to resolve these routine
matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows individually or in the aggregate.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to
the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed
in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
28, 2010, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2011, that could have a material effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause our
operating results to vary significantly from period to period. As of June 28, 2011, there have been
no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K,
although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time

As we previously reported, in a non-binding advisory vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
a majority of the votes cast voted in favor of an annual advisory stockholder vote on the
compensation of our named executive officers. After taking into
consideration these voting results and our board of directors recommendation in favor of an annual advisory stockholder vote
on the compensation of our named executive officers, we intend to hold future advisory votes on the
compensation of our named executive officers every year.
