NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS QUARTERS ENDED MAY 26, 2002 AND MAY 20, 2001 (unaudited) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim consolidated financial statements of Morgan's Foods, Inc. have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company Management, all adjustments have been included. Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. Except as noted in the notes to the financial statements, these unaudited financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE 2. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the combined weighted average number of shares outstanding, which includes the assumed exercise, or conversion of options. In computing diluted net income (loss) per common share, the Company has utilized the treasury stock method. NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. As specified therein, intangible assets acquired that are obtained through contractual or legal right, or are capable of being separately sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged are recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001. At the beginning of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified amounts previously reported as acquired franchise rights into goodwill for all periods presented as the amounts do not meet the criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company implemented SFAS No. 142 for its fiscal year beginning March 4, 2002. SFAS No. 142 allows up to six months from the date of adoption to perform the transitional goodwill impairment test which requires the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value (using amounts measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption) to determine whether there is an indicated transitional goodwill impairment. If a reporting unit's fair value is below its 6 carrying value, the Company will need to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test and quantify and record the goodwill impairment by the end of fiscal 2003. The quantification of an impairment requires the calculation of an "implied" fair value for the goodwill of a reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its recorded goodwill, a transitional goodwill impairment charge is recognized and reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Intangible assets relating to franchise agreements continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of each franchise agreement, all of which were originally 20 years. The estimated intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years is $130,000. The following table reports the comparative impact the adoption of SFAS No. 142 has on the reported results of operations. Twelve Weeks Ended May 26, 2002 May 20, 2001 ----------- ----------- Reported net income (loss) $ 142,000 $ (65,000) Add Back: Goodwill amortization -- 124,000 ----------- ----------- Adjusted net income $ 142,000 $ 59,000 =========== =========== Basic and diluted earnings per share: Reported net income $ .05 $ (.02) Goodwill amortization -- .04 ----------- ----------- Adjusted net income $ .05 .02 =========== =========== In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. The new rules apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal operation of long-lived assets. The Company intends to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 beginning in fiscal 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a 7 segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions than were included under the previous standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 beginning in fiscal 2003, as required; however, adoption of the statement did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Morgan's Foods, Inc. ("the Company") operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries KFC restaurants under franchises from KFC Corporation and Taco Bell restaurants under franchises from Taco Bell Corporation. As of June 28, 2002, the Company operates 76 KFC restaurants, 7 Taco Bell restaurants, 16 KFC/Taco Bell "2n1's" under franchises from KFC Corporation and franchises or licenses from Taco Bell Corporation, 3 Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express "2n1's" operated under franchisees from Taco Bell Corporation and licenses from Pizza Hut Corporation and 1 KFC/Pizza Hut Express "2n1" operated under a franchise from KFC Corporation and a license from Pizza Hut Corporation. The Company's fiscal year is a 52 - 53 week year ending on the Sunday nearest the last day of February. SUMMARY OF EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUES QUARTER ENDED ----------------------------------- MAY 26, 2002 MAY 20, 2001 ------------ ------------ Cost of sales: Food, paper and beverage................. 30.5% 31.1% Labor and benefits....................... 27.3% 26.4% Restaurant operating expenses.............. 24.8% 25.3% Depreciation and amortization.............. 4.0% 4.8% General and administrative expenses........ 6.9% 6.4% Operating income........................... 6.5% 5.9% REVENUES. Revenues for the quarter ended May 26, 2002 were $19,159,000 compared to $18,607,000 for the quarter ended May 20, 2001. This increase of $552,000 was due to a 2.9% increase in comparable restaurant revenues. The increase in comparable restaurant revenues was primarily the result of effective product promotions by the franchisors during the quarter. COSTS OF SALES - FOOD, PAPER AND BEVERAGES. Food, paper and beverage costs for the first quarter decreased as a percentage of revenue from 31.1% in fiscal 2002 to 30.5% in fiscal 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of efficiencies gained from higher average restaurant volumes and the amortization of new supply agreement advances as a reduction of food, paper and beverage cost of sales. COST OF SALES - LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits increased as a percentage of revenue for the quarter ended May 26, 2002 to 27.3% compared to 26.4% for the year earlier quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased workers compensation costs and an increasingly competitive labor market in the Company's marketplace. 8 RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 24.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 25.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This improvement was the result of higher average restaurant volumes and the removal of home delivery services from the remaining restaurants which offered it, which decreased advertising expense. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $764,000 in the current year first quarter from $887,000 in the prior year first quarter. This decrease was due to the implementation of SFAS No. 142 whereby goodwill is no longer amortized. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,315,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1,194,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase of $121,000 was mainly the result of current year salary increases and increased bonus expenses which related to the improved operating results. LOSS ON RESTAURANT ASSETS. The losses on disposal of restaurant assets of $10,000 and $6,000 in the first quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002 respectively, were the result of assets disposed of during the image enhancement of several restaurants. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased to $1,245,000 or 6.5% of revenues compared to $1,102,000 or 5.9% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily the result of higher average restaurant volumes and the implementation of SFAS No. 142 whereby goodwill is no longer amortized, which was partially offset by increased workers' compensation expenses and increased salary and bonus expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense on bank debt decreased to $1,141,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1,211,000 in fiscal 2002 due to lower debt balances during the fiscal 2003 quarter. Interest expense on capitalized leases was substantially unchanged from the prior year first quarter. OTHER INCOME. Other income was substantially unchanged at $54,000 and $53,000 in the first quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was a credit of $7,000 for the quarter ended May 20, 2001 compared to expense of $2,000 in the current year quarter. The tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 resulted from an adjustment to previous estimates of taxes to be paid in certain jurisdictions. The low effective tax rates result from tax net operating loss carryforwards. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Cash flow activity for the twelve weeks of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities was $580,000 for the twelve weeks ended May 26, 2002. The Company paid scheduled long-term bank and capitalized lease debt of $395,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The KFC operations of the Company have historically provided sufficient cash flow to service the Company's debt, refurbish and upgrade restaurant properties and cover administrative overhead. Management believes that operating cash flow will provide sufficient capital to continue to operate and maintain its restaurants, service the Company's debt and support required corporate expenses. 9 Certain of the Company's debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of its mortgage loans and individual restaurant coverage ratios on certain of its loans as measured at each of the Company's fiscal year ends. At March 3, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the consolidated ratio of 1.2 applicable to all of its loans. The Company was not in compliance with the 1.4 to 1.0 unit level ratio on certain of its restaurants. The Company obtained a waiver of these violations covering the interim periods of fiscal 2003 from the applicable lender and expects to be in compliance with the minimum coverage ratios and other terms and conditions of the agreements by the end of fiscal 2003 or to obtain amendments or waiver of any covenants. The Company is currently not in full compliance with the American Stock Exchange financial condition guidelines for continued listing. Specifically, the Company fell under the guidelines in Section 1003(a)(i) with shareholders' equity of less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years; Section 1003(a)(ii) with shareholder's equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years; and Section 1003(a)(iii) with shareholder's equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. On April 22, 2002 the Company submitted a plan to the staff at the American Stock Exchange indicating how it would regain compliance with the continued listing standards. Subsequent to the original notice on March 15, 2002 the Company regained compliance with item 1003(a)(iii) by reporting, on May 31, 2002, a profit for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2002. The Company's plan was accepted by the Exchange on June 7, 2002 and the Company's listing has been continued under an extension. The Exchange will continue to monitor the Company's performance periodically and any failure to meet the operating plan which was accepted by the Exchange could result in the commencement of delisting proceedings. SEASONALITY. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the Company's revenues and income have been highest during the summer months with the fourth fiscal quarter representing the slowest period. This seasonality is primarily attributable to weather conditions in the Company's marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
