Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation The 2001 and 2000 first fiscal quarters referenced herein represent the twelve- week periods ended March 25, 2001 and March 26, 2000, respectively. Results of Operations - --------------------- Revenues - -------- General. Revenues include retail sales of food by Company-owned stores, royalties and fees from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales of food, equipment and supplies by our distribution centers to domestic and international franchise stores. Total revenues increased 7.8% to $287.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $266.9 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase in total revenues is due primarily to increased domestic distribution revenues and, to a lesser extent, increased revenues from domestic and international franchise royalties. These results are more fully described below. Domestic Stores - --------------- Corporate Stores. Revenues from corporate store operations increased 0.7% to $90.8 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $90.2 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase in revenues is due primarily to an increase in same store sales offset in part by a decrease in the average number of Company-owned stores open during 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Same store sales for Company- owned stores increased 8.2% for the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. The number of Company-owned stores was 605 and 662 as of March 25, 2001 and March 26, 2000, respectively. The average number of Company-owned stores open during the first quarter of 2001 decreased by 45 stores compared to the same period in 2000 primarily reflecting the strategic sales of certain Company-owned stores to franchisees. Domestic Franchise. Revenues from domestic franchise operations increased 10.8% to $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $27.6 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of domestic franchise stores and an increase in same store sales. Same store sales for domestic franchise stores increased 3.6% for the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. The number of domestic franchise stores was 4,218 and 4,015 as of March 25, 2001 and March 26, 2000, respectively. The average number of domestic franchise stores open during the first quarter of 2001 increased by 196 stores compared to the same period in 2000. Domestic Distribution - --------------------- Revenues from domestic distribution operations increased 11.5% to $150.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $135.1 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase is due primarily to increased volumes relating to increases in domestic franchise same store sales and store count. Distribution volumes were also positively impacted by our CinnaStix(R) promotion which ran during the first quarter of 2001. 7

International - ------------- Revenues from international operations increased 11.4% to $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $14.0 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of international franchise stores and an increase in same store sales. On a constant dollar basis, same store sales increased by 9.8% for the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. On a historic dollar basis, same store sales increased by 2.4% for the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000, reflecting a strengthening U.S. Dollar. The number of international stores was 2,223 and 1,975 as of March 25, 2001 and March 26, 2000, respectively. The average number of international stores open during the first quarter of 2001 increased by 245 stores compared to the same period in 2000. Operating Expenses - ------------------ Cost of sales increased 8.8% to $212.2 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $195.1 million for the comparable period in 2000. Gross profit increased 4.9% to $75.4 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $71.9 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase in gross profit is due primarily to an increase in total revenues, primarily as a result of system-wide store and same store sales growth, as well as the increase in Distribution volumes. These increases in gross profit were offset in part by increases in food and labor costs in our Company-owned stores. General and administrative expenses increased 0.9% to $46.5 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $46.1 million for the comparable period in 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.1% to 16.2% in the first quarter of 2001, from 17.3% for the comparable period in 2000. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in covenants not-to-compete amortization expense and a decrease in professional fees. Covenants not-to- compete amortization expense, primarily related to the covenant obtained as part of our parent company's recapitalization, decreased $1.3 million to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. This decrease is due to the use of an accelerated amortization method over the covenant's three-year term. Interest Expense - ---------------- Interest expense decreased $0.9 million to $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $17.5 million for the comparable period in 2000. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in related variable interest rates and reduced debt levels. Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- Provision for income taxes increased $1.2 million to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $3.8 million for the comparable period in 2000. This increase is due primarily to an increase in pre-tax income. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- We had negative working capital of $10.7 million and cash of $20.7 million at March 25, 2001. Historically, we have operated with minimal positive working capital or negative working capital primarily because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures and debt commitments from these sources. As of March 25, 2001, we had $679.2 million of long-term debt, of which $19.4 million was classified as a current liability. There were no borrowings under our $100 million revolving credit facility and letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility were $14.2 million. The borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. 8

Cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 million and $11.0 million for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The $0.7 million decrease is due primarily to a $2.8 million net change in operating assets and liabilities, a $0.5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, and a $1.0 million change in deferred income tax provision. These decreases in cash provided by operating activities were offset in part by a $2.8 million increase in net income and a $0.9 million increase in loss on sale of plant and equipment related to sales of Company-owned stores to franchisees and relocations of certain Company-owned stores. Cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million and $11.1 million for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The $3.4 million decrease is due primarily to a $4.8 million decrease in purchases of franchise operations and a $1.8 million net change in other assets. These decreases in cash used in investing activities were offset in part by a $3.6 million increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment due primarily to increased investments on our next generation store systems project. Cash used in financing activities was $6.9 million and $9.8 million for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The $2.9 million decrease is due primarily to additional cash sweep payments in 2000. Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the senior credit facilities or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facilities and the Senior Subordinated Notes, to redeem or refinance TISM's, our Parent company, Cumulative Preferred Stock when required or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the Senior Subordinated Notes and to service, extend or refinance the senior credit facilities will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- Certain statements contained in this filing relating to capital spending levels and the adequacy of our capital resources are forward-looking. Also statements that contain words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward- looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward- looking statements. Among these risks and uncertainties are competitive factors, increases in our operating costs, ability to retain our key personnel, our substantial leverage, ability to implement our growth and cost-saving strategies, industry trends and general economic conditions, adequacy of insurance coverage and other factors, all of which are described in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 9

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk - ----------- The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate changes on our variable rate debt and foreign currency fluctuations relating to international revenues. Management actively monitors these exposures. As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Interest Rate Swaps - ------------------- The Company may enter into interest rate swaps or similar instruments with the objective of reducing our volatility in borrowing costs. In 1999, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert the Eurodollar interest rate component on a portion of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 5.12% through December 2001. As of March 25, 2001, the total notional amount of these swap agreements was $173.0 million. Interest Rate Risk - ------------------ The Company's variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. As of March 25, 2001, a portion of the Company's debt is borrowed at Eurodollar rates plus a blended margin rate of approximately 3.2%. At March 25, 2001, the weighted average interest rate on our $241.0 million of variable interest debt was approximately 8.6%. The fair value of the Company's debt approximates its carrying value. The Company had total interest expense of approximately $16.6 million for the first quarter of 2001. The estimated increase in interest expense from a hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in applicable variable interest rates would be approximately $1.1 million. 10
