“We are very pleased with the level of performance throughout the company,” said Robert Doran, Chief Executive Officer of Granite City. “Our plan to incorporate technology, to enhance the customer experience in our current stores through dining room and bar reconfigurations, and to develop new stores is well underway. We expect many of these initiatives will begin to benefit our customers and our employees later this year and in 2012. The progress we have made with the combination of our new team and existing management has been fantastic. We are all excited to see our initiatives get underway and are confident that these initiatives represent great upside benefits for our team and our investors.”
Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Total revenue for second quarter 2011 increased by 3.5% to $24.0 million compared to $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2010. Total cost of sales before occupancy was $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 or 75.8% of sales compared to prior year second quarter cost of sales before occupancy of $17.5 million or 75.4% of sales.
General and administrative expenses were $1.9 million or 8.1% of revenue for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.7 million or 7.1% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. General and administrative costs included non-cash stock compensation of $218,000 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $183,000 in the second quarter of 2010. With the addition of several key members of management in connection with our May 2011 transaction, we expect general and administrative expenses to run at a higher rate in future months. We believe that the benefit of restaurant upgrades and future restaurant unit growth will offset these expenses in the long term. We will monitor these expenses closely and will make adjustments as needed.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $425,000 compared to a net loss of $580,000 in the second quarter of 2010. Net loss per share available to common shareholders was $(1.20) and $(0.08) respectively. Net loss per share available to common shareholders included $(0.02) attributable to dividends declared and $(1.11) attributable to the non-cash beneficial conversion feature which resulted from the issuance of convertible preferred stock with a conversion price less than the fair value of the as-converted common shares.
There were a weighted average of 5.8 million and 7.4 million shares of common stock outstanding in the second quarters 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements, Non-GAAP Financial Measurements, and Comparable Restaurant Data
Certain statements made in this press release of a non-historical nature constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending, a significant change in the performance of any existing restaurants, our ability to continue funding our operations and meet our debt service obligations, and the risks and uncertainties described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2011.
Additionally, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including references to restaurant-level IBO and company-wide EBITDA. As compared to the nearest GAAP measurement for our company, restaurant-level IBO represents revenue less cost of food, beverage, labor and restaurant operating costs. We use restaurant-level IBO and restaurant-level IBO as a percentage of revenue as internal measurements of restaurant-level operating performance. Restaurant-level IBO as we define it may not be comparable to similar measurements used by other companies and is not a measure of performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that restaurant-level IBO is an important component of our
financial results because it is a widely used measurement within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance. We use restaurant-level IBO as a means of evaluating our restaurants’ financial performance compared with our competitors. As compared to the nearest GAAP measurement for our company, company-wide EBITDA represents operating loss with the add-back of depreciation and amortization, net loss on disposal of assets and exit or disposal costs (Rogers & Troy). We use company-wide EBITDA as a way to measure our overall internal operational performance without restaurant closings and as a means of evaluating our financial performance compared with our competitors. These non-GAAP measurements should not be used as substitutes for net loss, net cash provided by or used in operations or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Schedules of reconciliations of restaurant-level IBO and company-wide EBITDA for the second quarter and first half of 2011 and 2010 are provided herein.
