BUSINESS -------- Sbarro, Inc., a New York corporation, was organized in 1977 and is the successor to a number of family food and restaurant businesses developed and operated by the Sbarro family. Today, we are a leading owner, operator and franchisor of quick-service restaurants, serving a wide variety of Italian specialty foods with 927 restaurants worldwide at December 30, 2001. In addition, since 1995, we have created, primarily through joint ventures, other restaurant concepts for the purpose of developing growth opportunities in addition to the Sbarro restaurants. We presently operate 35 other concept units through majority or minority owned joint ventures or wholly owned subsidiaries. (See "New Concept Development," below.) GOING PRIVATE TRANSACTION ------------------------- On September 28, 1999, members of the Sbarro family (who prior thereto owned approximately 34.4% of our common stock) became the holders of 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock as a result of a merger in which (i) a company owned by the members of the Sbarro family merged with and into us, (ii) our shareholders (other than the members of the Sbarro family and the company owned by them) received the right to receive $28.85 per share in cash in exchange for the approximately 13.5 million shares of our common stock not owned by the members of the Sbarro family, and (iii) all outstanding stock options, including stock options held by the members of the Sbarro family, were terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the number of shares subject to the options multiplied by the excess, if any, of $28.85 over the applicable option exercise price. The cost of the merger, including fees and expenses, was funded through the use of substantially all of the our cash then on hand and the placement of $255.0 million of 11.0% senior notes due September 15, 2009 sold at a price of 98.514% of par to yield 11.25% per annum. In April 2000, we exchanged these senior notes for Senior Notes having the same terms, except that the new Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") were registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The old senior notes and the Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture dated September 28, 1999 (the "Indenture"). We also entered into a five year, $30.0 million unsecured senior revolving bank credit facility under a Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides an unsecured senior revolving credit facility which enables us to borrow, on a revolving basis from time to time during its five-year term, up to $30.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Our payment obligations under the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement are jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by all of our current Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) and is to be similarly guaranteed by our future Restricted Subsidiaries. We have received a waiver of compliance for fiscal 2001 from certain ratios required to be maintained under the Credit Agreement and an amendment to certain ratios required to be maintained for fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003. See "Selected Financial Data" included in Item 6 of this report, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of this report, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in Item 8 of the report and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" included in Item 13 of this report. -3- GENERAL ------- We are a leading owner, operator and franchisor of quick service restaurants, serving a wide variety of Italian specialty foods. Under the "Sbarro" and "Sbarro The Italian Eatery" names, we developed one of the first quick-service concepts that extended beyond offering one primary specialty item, such as pizza or hamburgers. Our diverse menu offering includes pizza, pasta and other hot and cold Italian entrees, salads, sandwiches, cheesecake and other desserts and beverages. All of our entrees are prepared fresh daily in each restaurant using special recipes developed by us. We focus on serving our customers generous portions of high quality Italian-style food at attractive prices. We believe that the Sbarro concept is unlike other quick-service Italian restaurants due to its diverse menu selection and its fast, cafeteria-style service. Since our inception in 1959, we have focused on high customer traffic venues due to the large number of captive customers who base their eating decision primarily on impulse and convenience. We therefore do not have to incur the significant advertising and promotional expenditures that certain of our competitors incur to attract customers to their destination restaurants. These factors, combined with adherence to strict cost controls, provide us with high and stable operating margins. Over the past ten years, we have extended the Sbarro concept from downtown locations and enclosed shopping malls to other high customer traffic venues, including toll roads, airports, sports arenas, hospitals, convention centers, university campuses and casinos. We believe the opportunity to open additional Sbarro units in these and other new venues should continue to increase as companies, municipalities and others seek to outsource their non-core food operations to companies with an established brand name. As of December 30, 2001, we operated 927 Sbarro quick service restaurants, consisting of 602 Company-owned and 325 franchised restaurants located in 47 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, certain United States territories and 25 countries throughout the world. In addition, since 1995, we have created and operated other casual and fine dining concepts for the purpose of developing growth opportunities in addition to our Sbarro restaurants. With our joint venture partners or in wholly owned subsidiaries, we currently operate 35 casual and fine dining restaurants featuring varying cuisines under other restaurant concepts. RESTAURANT EXPANSION -------------------- We have grown from 103 Sbarro-owned or franchised quick service restaurants at the time of our initial public offering in 1985 to 927 as of December 30, 2001 excluding 37 new concept units. During 2001, 51 new Sbarro restaurants were opened, of which 9 were Company-owned and 42 were franchised. However, 43 Company-owned and 20 franchised Sbarro units were closed, resulting in the first decrease in our history in the number of units operated by us. In addition, we and the other concepts in which we participate opened four casual and fine dining units in 2001. (See "Other Concepts" below). -4- The following table summarizes the number of Sbarro-owned and franchised quick service restaurants in operation during each of the years from 1997 through 2001:

(2) See Note (3) to "Selected Financial Data" in Item 6 of this Report for information with respect to charges in 2001, 1998 and 1997 relating to the closing and planned closing of certain Company-owned units. (3) Excludes 37, 33, 26, 19 and 14 other concept units at the end of the respective fiscal years. Two of these units have been closed in fiscal 2002. TRADITIONAL QUICK SERVICE CONCEPT AND MENU ------------------------------------------ Sbarro quick service restaurants are family oriented, offering quick, efficient, cafeteria and buffet style service designed to minimize customer waiting time and facilitate table turnover. The decor of a Sbarro restaurant incorporates a contemporary motif that blends with the characteristics of the surrounding area. As of December 30, 2001, there were 247 "in-line" Sbarro restaurants and 673 "food court" Sbarro quick service restaurants. In addition, franchisees operated seven freestanding Sbarro restaurants. "In-line" restaurants, which are self-contained restaurants, usually occupy between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet, contain the space and furniture to seat approximately 60 to 120 people and employ 10 to 40 persons, including part-time personnel. "Food court" restaurants are primarily -5- located in areas of shopping malls designated exclusively for restaurant use and share a common dining area provided by the mall. These restaurants generally occupy between 500 and 1,000 square feet and contain only kitchen and service areas. They frequently have a more limited menu than an "in-line" restaurant and employ 6 to 30 persons, including part-time personnel. Sbarro restaurants are generally open seven days a week serving lunch, dinner and, in a limited number of locations, breakfast, with hours conforming to those of the major department stores or other large retailers in the mall or trade area in which they are located. Typically, mall restaurants are open to serve customers 10 to 12 hours a day, except on Sunday, when mall hours may be more limited. For Sbarro-owned restaurants open a full year, average sales in fiscal 2001 were $0.7 million for "in-line" restaurants and $0.5 million for "food court" restaurants. Sbarro restaurants feature a menu of popular Italian food, including pizza with a variety of toppings, a selection of pasta dishes and other hot and cold Italian entrees, salads, sandwiches, cheesecake and other desserts. In addition to soft drinks, a limited number of the larger restaurants serve beer and wine. All of our entrees are prepared fresh daily in each restaurant according to special recipes developed by us. We place emphasis on serving generous portions of quality Italian-style food at attractive prices. Entree selections, excluding pizza, generally range in price from $2.79 to $7.99. We believe that pizza, which is sold predominantly by the slice, accounts for approximately 50% of Sbarro restaurant sales. Substantially all of the food ingredients and related restaurant supplies used by the restaurants are purchased from a national independent wholesale food distributor which is required to adhere to established product specifications for all food products sold to our restaurants. Breads, pastries, produce, fresh dairy and certain meat products are purchased locally for each restaurant. Soft drink mixes are purchased from major beverage producers under national contracts. We believe that there are other distributors who would be able to service our needs and that satisfactory alternative sources of supply are generally available for all items regularly used in our restaurants. RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT --------------------- Each Sbarro restaurant is managed by one general manager and one or two co-managers or assistant managers, depending upon the size of the location. Managers are required to participate in Sbarro training sessions in restaurant management and operations prior to the assumption of their duties. In addition, each restaurant manager is required to comply with an extensive operations manual containing procedures for assuring uniformity of operations and consistent high quality of products. We have a restaurant management bonus program that provides the management teams of Sbarro-owned restaurants with the opportunity to receive cash bonuses based on certain performance-related criteria of their location. We employ area and regional directors, each of whom is typically responsible for the operations of 6 to 14 Sbarro-owned restaurants in a given area. Before each new restaurant opening, we assign an area or regional director to coordinate opening procedures. Area and regional directors recruit and supervise the managerial staff of all Sbarro-owned restaurants and report to one of the four regional vice presidents. The regional vice presidents coordinate the activities of the area and regional directors assigned to their areas of responsibility and report to the President of our Quick Service Division. -6- FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT --------------------- Growth in franchise operations occurs through the establishment of new Sbarro restaurants by new franchisees and existing franchisees who have multi-unit franchise agreements. We rely principally upon our reputation and the strength of our existing restaurants, as well as to participation in national franchise conventions, to attract new franchisees. As of December 30, 2001, we had 325 franchised Sbarro restaurants operated by 88 franchisees in 33 states of the United States as well as its territories and in 25 countries throughout the world. We are presently considering additional franchise opportunities in the United States and other countries. In certain instances, we have established franchise locations under territorial agreements in which we have granted, for specified time periods, exclusive rights to enter into franchise agreements for restaurant units in certain geographic areas (primarily foreign countries) or venues (primarily specified non-mall locations such as for certain toll roads or airports). In order to obtain a franchise, we generally require payment of an initial fee and continuing royalties at rates of 3.5% to 10.0% of gross revenues. Franchise agreements entered into prior to 1988 generally have an initial term of 15 years with the franchisee having a renewal option provided that the agreement has not been previously terminated by either party for specified reasons. Since 1988, we have required the franchise agreements to end at the same time as the underlying lease, but generally in not less than ten nor more than twenty years. Since 1990, the renewal option has also been subject to conditions, including a remodel or image enhancement requirement. Franchise agreements granted under territorial agreements and those for non-traditional sites are at negotiated fees, royalty rates and terms and conditions other than those contained in our basic franchise agreement. The franchise and territorial agreements provide us with the right to terminate a franchisee for a variety of reasons, including insolvency or bankruptcy, failure to operate its restaurant according to standards, understatement of gross receipts, failure to pay fees, or material misrepresentation on an application for a franchise. We presently employ twelve management level individuals responsible for overseeing the operations of franchise units and for developing new units. These employees report to the President of our Franchising and Licensing Division. OTHER CONCEPTS -------------- Since 1995, we have developed and established new restaurant concepts to provide growth opportunities that leverage our restaurant management and financial expertise. These concepts are operated either by us alone or through joint ventures with restaurateurs experienced in the particular food area. We are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of each venture. Our joint ventures and other wholly-owned concepts presently operate 35 restaurants. We intend to develop and expand the steakhouse joint venture locations. We are evaluating the continued development of the "Mama Sbarro" concept. We do not plan to open any additional restaurants for, and are evaluating the disposition of, the balance of the existing concepts. During fiscal 2001, we recorded charges to earnings of $10.6 million related to the impairment of property, equipment and other assets of certain of these concepts and the closing of two restaurants and certain conversion costs. -7- The following is a summary of our existing internally operated and joint venture operated concepts: o We operate twelve moderately priced quick casual dining restaurants serving Italian food. The restaurants provide both quick-service and table service, with take-out service available, and generally cater to families. Prior to March 2001, when we acquired the ownership interest of our 20% partner in this venture in connection with the settlement of litigation against this partner, these locations were operated under either the "Umberto of New Hyde Park" or "Tony and Bruno's" names. Five of our six table service units currently operate under the name "Mama Sbarro." Our six quick service units operate in mall locations under the name "Umberto of New Hyde Park." During fiscal 2001, we determined that two proposed "Mama Sbarro" locations, with accumulated costs of approximately $1.1 million, would not be opened. These costs are included in the 2001 provision in our financial statements for restaurant closing costs. We recorded costs of approximately $0.2 million for the conversion of the "Umberto of New Hyde Park" and "Tony and Bruno" locations to "Mama Sbarro" units. In addition, the provision for asset impairment includes approximately $1.6 million in fiscal 2001 related to two "Mama Sbarro locations." We are planning to open additional table service non-mall sites of the Mama Sbarro concept in fiscal 2003. o We have a 40% interest in a joint venture that presently operates eight casual dining restaurants with a Rocky Mountain steakhouse motif under the name "Boulder Creek Steaks & Saloon." This venture also operates three fine dining steak restaurants under the names "Rothmann's Steakhouse" and "Burton & Doyle." We are planning to open additional sites of this concept. o We have a 70% interest in a joint venture formed to develop moderately priced, table service restaurants featuring an Italian Mediterranean menu. The venture presently operates one unit under the name "Salute" located in New York City. During 1997, this venture closed two restaurants, resulting in a $3.3 million before tax, or $2.0 million after tax, charge to our earnings. An additional $1.0 million charge to earnings before tax, or $0.6 million after tax, was recorded in 1999 when we subsequently agreed to absorb a portion of our joint venture partners' losses on these units upon their disposition. In early 2002, this venture closed another location with a minimal charge to earnings that was recorded in fiscal 2001. o We operate two moderately priced, table service restaurants featuring an Italian Mediterranean menu. One, which opened in the latter part of 2000 in Las Vegas, operates under the name "BICE Ristorante," and the other, which opened in mid-2001 in New York City, operates under the name "Medi." A third location, "Salute" (renamed from "The Grill on the Park") in New York City, which opened in late 2000, was closed in fiscal 2002. The provision for asset impairment and store closings includes approximately $7.7 million related to the BICE Las Vegas and Salute locations. o We have a 50% interest in a joint venture which, in June 1999, acquired two quick service Mexican style restaurants operating in strip centers under the names "Baja Grill" and "Waves." o We have a 25% interest in a joint venture formed in 1999 that has operated one seafood restaurant under the name "Vincent's Clam Bar." -8- All of the other concept locations, except for four Umberto of New Hyde Park mall units and the BICE Ristorante restaurant in Las Vegas, are located in the New York City metropolitan area. We are continually evaluating the operating performance of these ventures to assess their continued feasibility and future growth potential. As noted above, we may seek to expand the "Mama Sbarro" and steakhouse concepts, but do not plan to open any additional restaurants for, and are evaluating the disposition of, the other existing concepts. There can be no assurance as to the performance of any of the other concept locations. All of our other concept locations presently operate through unrestricted subsidiaries which do not guarantee our Senior Notes and obligations under our Credit Agreement. As such, we have certain restrictions as to the financing we can provide to these new concepts and these entities are not subject to the restrictions contained in the Indenture and our Credit Agreement. Ventures in which we have a 50% or less interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of December 30, 2001, we had an aggregate investment in the form of advances to and property and equipment costs of these other concepts of approximately $30.0 million. The amount of our investment does not include guarantees of indebtedness, reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $8.4 million and guarantees of certain real property lease obligations of these subsidiaries and other concepts in the approximate amount of $4.8 million. In addition, we have also sublet locations to, guaranteed all or portions of other concepts location leases and provided other credit enhancements for these joint ventures. EMPLOYEES --------- As of December 30, 2001, we employed approximately 6,600 persons, excluding employees of new concepts, of whom approximately 3,000 were full-time field and restaurant personnel, approximately 3,375 were part-time restaurant personnel and 225 were corporate administrative personnel. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations are satisfactory. COMPETITION ----------- The restaurant business is highly competitive. Many of our direct competitors operate within the pizza restaurant segment. We believe we compete on the basis of menu selection, price, service, location and food quality. Factors that affect our and our franchisees' business operations include changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions, population, traffic patterns, changes in discretionary spending priorities, demographic trends, consumer confidence in food wholesomeness, handling and safety, weather conditions, the type, number and location of competing restaurants and other factors. There is also active competition for management personnel and attractive commercial shopping mall, center city and other locations suitable for restaurants. We compete in each market in which we operate with locally-owned restaurants, as well as with national and regional restaurant chains. Factors such as inflation and increased food, beverage, labor, occupancy and other costs could also adversely affect us and others in the restaurant industry. Although we believe we are well positioned to compete in the quick-service Italian specialty food business because of our leading market position, focus, expertise and strong national brand name recognition, we could experience increased competition from existing or new companies and loss of market share, which could have an adverse effect on our operations. -9- TRADEMARKS ---------- Our Sbarro restaurants operate principally under the "Sbarro" and "Sbarro The Italian Eatery" trademarks. Our other concept locations operate under separate trademarks, including "Mama Sbarro" and "Boulder Creek." The trademarks are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office with no expiration date but must be renewed every ten years. Such registered service marks may continually be renewed for 10 year periods. We have also registered or filed applications to register "Sbarro" and "Sbarro The Italian Eatery" in several other countries. We believe that these marks continue to be materially important to our business. The joint ventures to which we are a party have also applied for United States trademarks covering trade names used by them. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION ----------------------- We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our businesses, as are our franchisees. Each of our restaurants and those owned by our franchisees and joint ventures are subject to a variety of licensing and governmental regulatory provisions relating to wholesomeness of food, sanitation, health, safety and, in certain cases, licensing of the sale of alcoholic beverages. Difficulties in obtaining, or the failure to obtain, required licenses or approvals can delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant in any particular area. Our operations and those of our franchisees and joint ventures are also subject to federal laws, such as minimum wage laws, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. They are also subject to state laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, employment of minors, citizenship requirements and overtime. Some states have set minimum wage requirements higher than the federal level. We are also subject to Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") regulations and various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. The FTC and various state laws require us to furnish to prospective franchisees a franchise offering circular containing prescribed information. We are currently registered to offer and sell franchises in six states and are currently exempt from the franchise registration requirements in five states based upon "large franchisor" exemptions, which are based upon our experience and meeting certain size tests, generally requiring a net worth of at least $5 to $15 million (depending on the state). The states in which we are registered, and a number of states in which we may franchise, require registration of a franchise offering circular or a filing with state authorities. Substantive state laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of states, and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time which provide for federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. The state laws often limit, among other things, the duration and scope of non-competition provisions and the ability of a franchisor to terminate or refuse to renew a franchise. Although alcoholic beverage sales are not emphasized in our Sbarro quick service restaurants, our new concepts serve alcoholic beverages and some of our larger restaurants serve beer and wine. Sales of beer and wine contributed less than 1% of our total revenues during fiscal 2001. We submitted timely applications where appropriate to amend our liquor license applications to reflect the going private transaction and have received approvals in all jurisdictions. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the laws to which we are subject. -10- ITEM 2. PROPERTIES ---------- All Sbarro restaurants are typically leased under ten-year leases that often do not include an option to renew the lease. We have historically been able to renew or extend leases on existing sites. As of December 30, 2001, we leased 595 restaurants, of which 23 were subleased to franchisees under terms which cover all of our obligations under the lease. The remaining franchisees directly lease their restaurant spaces. Most of our restaurant leases provide for the payment of base rents plus real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area charges and certain other expenses, as well as contingent rents generally ranging from 8% to 10% of net restaurant sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Leases to which we were a party at December 30, 2001 have initial terms expiring as follows:
YEARS INITIAL LEASE NUMBER OF SBARRO- NUMBER OF FRANCHISED TERMS EXPIRE OWNED RESTAURANTS RESTAURANTS ------------ ----------------- ----------- 2002........................................ 42 7 2003........................................ 62 3 2004........................................ 49 2 2005........................................ 62 2 2006 ....................................... 46 3 Thereafter.................................. 311 6
We own a four-story office building in Melville, New York having approximately 100,000 square feet and a cafeteria style restaurant operated by us. This building was purchased and renovated at a total cost of approximately $21.5 million. Approximately 73% of the rentable square feet is currently under lease to unaffiliated third parties. The remaining 27%, consisting of one floor of the building, is occupied by us as our principal executive offices. On March 3, 2000, we obtained a ten year, 8.4%, $16.0 million mortgage loan on this property. We also occupy a two-story 20,000 square foot office building for administrative support functions located in Commack, New York. We have leased the building since May 1986 from a partnership owned by some of our shareholders at an annual base rental of $0.3 million for the remainder of the lease term, which expires in 2011. In addition, we pay real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and certain other expenses for the facility. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in Item 13 of this Report for a description of the lease. In addition, our other concepts own one facility and lease 35 facilities. -11- ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ----------------- On December 20, 1999, Antonio Garcia and eleven other current and former general managers of Sbarro restaurants in California amended a complaint filed in the Superior Court of California for Orange County. The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs were improperly classified as exempt employees under the California wage and hour law. The plaintiffs are seeking actual damages, punitive damages and costs of the lawsuit, including reasonable attorney's fees, each in unspecified amounts. Plaintiff's filed a motion to certify the lawsuit as a class action, but the motion was denied by the court. We believe that we have substantial defenses to the claims and are vigorously defending this action. On September 6, 2000, Manuel Jimenez and seven other current and former general managers of Sbarro restaurants in California filed a complaint against Sbarro in the Superior Court of California for Orange County alleging that the plaintiffs were improperly classified as exempt employees under California wage and hour law. Plaintiffs are represented by the same counsel who is representing the plaintiffs in the Garcia case. We believe that we have substantial defenses to the claims and are vigorously defending this action. From time to time, we are a party to certain claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which, in our opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS --------------------------------------------------- Not applicable. -12- PART II ------- ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS --------------------------------------------------------------------- As a result of the going private transaction in September 1999 our Common Stock is not publicly-held nor publicly traded. We currently have six shareholders of record. (See Item 12 "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.") During 2001 and 2000, we declared the following dividends to our shareholders as distributions pursuant to a Tax Payment Agreement with our shareholders to enable them to pay income taxes imposed upon them as a result of our election to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue on their pro-rata share of our taxable income (see Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Tax Payment Agreement) or as general dividends: AMOUNT FISCAL 2001 PER SHARE TOTAL TYPE ----------- --------- ----- ---- January 15, 2001 $0.50 $3,560,613 Tax Distribution April 12, 2001 0.71 5,000,000 General Dividend April 15, 2001 0.57 4,003,154 Tax Distribution FISCAL 2000 ----------- March 15, 2000 $2.548 $18,000,000 General Dividend April 17, 2000 0.072 511,156 Tax Distribution June 13, 2000 0.457 3,229,743 Tax Distribution September 15, 2000 0.009 59,096 Tax Distribution December 15, 2000 0.046 327,870 General Dividend All tax distributions paid in 2001 related to 2000 tax basis earnings. In addition, on January 15, 2002, we declared dividends to our shareholders of $0.44 per share (a total of $3,125,000) as a tax distribution. The Indenture under which our Senior Notes are issued and our Credit Agreement contain various covenants that may limit our ability to make "restricted payments" including, among other things, dividend payments (other than as distributions pursuant to the Tax Payment Agreement). Under the terms of the Indenture, we currently are not permitted to make "restricted payments" other than distributions pursuant to the Tax Payment Agreement. Our ability to make future dividend payments (in addition to distributions pursuant to the Tax Payment Agreement) and other restricted payments will depend upon our future profitability and having, at the time of declaration of the dividend, a consolidated interest ratio coverage (as defined in the Indenture), after giving pro forma effect to the restricted payments, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters of at least 2.0 to 1. -13- ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA ----------------------- The following Selected Financial Data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of this report and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 8 of this report, which consolidated financial statements have been audited and reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants.

---------- (1) Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Our 1998 fiscal year contained 53 weeks. All other fiscal years presented contained 52 weeks. As a result, our 1998 fiscal year benefited from one additional week of operations over the other reported fiscal years. The additional week contributed revenues, net income and EBITDA of approximately $8.6 million, $1.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. (2) Includes amortization of the excess purchase price over the book value of assets acquired as a result of the 1999 going private transaction on September 28, 2000 of $5.4 million, $5.0 -15- million and $2.0 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In fiscal 2000, we finalized our allocation of the purchase price from the going private transaction based on an evaluation of our net assets at September 29, 1999 resulting in lower annual amortization expense than originally estimated. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). Our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives aggregated $205.2 million, net of accumulated amortization, at December 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective for fiscal 2002. The Company's earnings were charged with $5.4 million, $5.0 million and $2.0 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, for the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Under SFAS No. 142, we will not incur similar charges commencing in fiscal 2002. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Our initial evaluations of impairment are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. (3) Fiscal 2001 represents a provision for asset impairment ($5.5 million), restaurant closings ($11.7 million) and other charges ($1.0 million) relating to the Sbarro restaurants and other concept locations. (4) Fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 represent provisions of (a) a special allocation of losses in fiscal 1999 which arose as a result of the final disposition of two joint venture unit closings recorded in 1997, (b) $2.5 million for the closing of 20 restaurants in fiscal 1998 and (c) $3.3 million for the closing of two joint venture units in fiscal 1997. (5) Represents a charge for costs associated with the termination of a prior going private proposal by the Sbarro family. (6) Represents a charge in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit. (7) Represents a write-down of the carrying cost on a parcel of undeveloped land that we own. (8) We used substantially all of our available cash on September 28, 1999 in order to fund the going private transaction. We will not realize the level of interest income as we had prior thereto unless and until we rebuild our cash position. (9) A credit of $5.6 million was recorded in 2000 to write-off deferred income taxes as a result of electing to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning in fiscal 2000. For a discussion of the distributions that we are permitted to make to our shareholders to pay taxes on our income, see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Tax Payment Agreement" in Item 13 of this report. -16- (10) For a more detailed presentation of our cash flow data, see our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 of this Report. In 2000, net cash provided by operating activities before the change in deferred taxes caused by the conversion to Subchapter S status and the change in accrued interest payable was $53.3 million. In 1999, net cash provided by operating activities before the change in accrued interest payable was $54.8 million. (11) EBITDA represents earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting method, interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA includes the effect of the unusual charges included in notes 3, 4, 5 and 6 above. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by total revenues. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. Rather, EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted supplemental financial measure, and we believe that it provides relevant and useful information. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Our EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities since they do not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent a net increase in cash since they do not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities. (12) The following amounts related to the construction of the building in which our headquarters are located, which opened in late 1998, are included as capital expenditures: $5.0 million in fiscal 1997, $4.8 million in fiscal 1998, $1.6 million in fiscal 1999 and $0.4 million in fiscal 2000. (13) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been determined by dividing the total fixed charges into the sum of income before income taxes, cumulative effect of change in method of accounting for start-up costs, minority interests, equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and one-third of rental expense, which we deem to be a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of this expense. (14) Excludes 37, 33, 26, 19 and 14 for other concept units that were open at the end of fiscal 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. -17- ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OF OPERATIONS ------------- The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other data and information appearing elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Each of fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 consisted of 52 weeks. The going private transaction, including the purchase price allocation and certain other related transactions described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, affect the comparability of the interest income, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax line items in our consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 discussed below. Our loss of $14.6 million in fiscal 2001 includes charges of $18.2 million for a provision for asset impairment, restaurant closings and other charges discussed below. One high volume Sbarro-owned quick service unit was destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. In addition, a number of airports were closed due to the events of September 11 causing airport Sbarro-owned and franchise units to close and a number of downtown locations experienced reduced sales. We have made claims under our business interruption insurance policies with respect thereto. We are fully insured for the cost of the assets destroyed at the Company location. The estimated amount of the expected recovery is included in accounts receivable as of December 30, 2001. In addition, we expect to recover lost income from our business interruption insurance coverage but, under applicable accounting principles, have not reflected any estimated recoveries in our financial statements. FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 Our consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2001 (including the charges reflected above) was $46.3 million and our EBITDA margin was 11.9%, compared to $78.7 million and 19.7%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. EBITDA represents earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting method, interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by total revenues. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. Rather, EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted supplemental financial measure, and we believe that it provides relevant and useful information. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Our EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities since they do not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent a net increase in cash since they do not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities. Restaurant sales from Sbarro-owned quick service units and consolidated other concept units decreased by $9.7 million, or 2.5%, to $372.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $382.4 million in fiscal 2000. Sales increases in consolidated other concept units of $4.0 million were offset by a $13.7 million decline in sales from quick service units. Sales at both Sbarro quick service and some of our consolidated other concept locations for fiscal 2001 have been adversely impacted by the general -18- economic downturn and were further affected by the events of September 11, 2001. During fiscal 2001, we closed 34 more units than we opened which resulted in a net sales reduction of approximately $1.2 million. Revenues from new quick service units did not offset the loss of revenues from quick service units closed since the beginning of fiscal 2000. The units closed since the beginning of fiscal 2000, with the exception of our high volume owned unit destroyed in the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and the one high volume unit closed in fiscal 2000 and replaced in fiscal 2001, were generally low volume units that did not have a material impact on our results of operations. Following the events of September 11, a number of airport and other, principally downtown, locations were closed for a period of time, and those locations, as well as a number of other downtown locations, experienced a prolonged period of reduced sales. These units had sales of $8.7 million for the period from September 11, 2001 through the end of fiscal 2001 compared to $11.2 million for the similar period in fiscal 2000. Comparable Sbarro quick service unit sales decreased 2.1% to $321.0 million in fiscal 2001. Comparable Sbarro quick service unit sales levels that, as noted above, had already been affected by the decrease in mall traffic related to the general economic downturn in the United States, were negatively affected after the tragedy of September 11. In late March 2001 and mid June 2001, we implemented price increases of 0.7% and 3.3%, respectively. Comparable restaurant sales are made up of sales at locations that were open during the entire current and prior fiscal year. Excluding approximately $0.3 million related to the termination of an area development agreement in Egypt recognized during fiscal 2001 and $1.5 million of termination fees related to our development agreement and the closing of all Sbarro locations in Japan recognized in fiscal 2000, franchise related income increased 2.8% to $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2001 from $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The increase resulted from greater continuing royalties due to a higher number of franchise units in operation in the current fiscal year offset, in large part, by decreases in royalties from locations in operation during all of fiscal 2001 and 2000. Franchises, both domestically and internationally, were also affected by the general economy and the events of September 11. Real estate and other revenues decreased $56,000 for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2001 from fiscal 2000 primarily due to decreases in certain vendor rebates. Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 20.0% for fiscal 2001 from 19.5% in the 2000 fiscal year. The increase in fiscal 2001 relates primarily to higher average cheese prices ($2.7 million), increased distribution fees ($0.5 million) and the reduced level of sales. Cheese prices to date in fiscal 2002 are lower than those experienced at the comparable point in time in fiscal 2001 and significantly lower than the average price for all of fiscal 2001. Payroll and other benefits increased to 27.9% of restaurant sales for the year ended December 30, 2001 from 26.6% of restaurant sales for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to the reduced level of sales and tight labor market that was experienced into the third quarter of fiscal 2001 that had increased wages and salaries and the associated amounts paid for payroll taxes. Since then, we have seen an abatement of these pressures as a result of the continuing economic slowdown. In addition, we took steps to reduce payroll expenses during late fiscal 2001 and have seen a reduction of those costs in the early part of fiscal 2002. Other operating expenses increased to 31.3% of restaurant sales for fiscal 2001 from 29.8% for fiscal 2000 primarily due to increases in rent, utilities and other occupancy related expenses and the reduced level of sales. -19- During fiscal 2001, we recorded a provision for asset impairment, restaurant closings and other charges of $18.2 million. Of that provision, (a) $5.5 million was for property and equipment asset impairment, including $3.6 million related to our other concepts, (b) $11.7 million was for restaurant closings, including $6.7 million for our other concepts and $0.2 million for the cost of the conversion of our Umberto and Tony & Bruno locations to our Mama Sbarro concept and (c) $1.0 million was for other charges. In early 2002, we closed two of other concept locations for which amounts were included in the provision. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.3 million for fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense included $5.4 million and $5.0 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, for the amortization of the excess of the purchase price over the cost of net assets acquired in connection with the completion of the going private transaction on September 28, 1999. The finalization of the purchase price allocation in fiscal 2000 resulted in a reduction of the originally estimated amounts in fiscal 2000 while fiscal 2001 represents a full year of such amortization. Under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," commencing in fiscal 2002 we will no longer amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives (for which our earnings were charged $5.4 million and $5.0 million in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively) but instead we will review those assets annually for impairment (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets (trademarks and tradenames) acquired prior to July 1, 2001 ($205.2 million, net of accumulated amortization, at December 30, 2001), we will adopt SFAS 142 effective with fiscal 2002. Our initial evaluations of impairment are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. We do not believe an impairment, if any, will be material. General and administrative expenses were $29.5 million, or 7.6% of total revenues, for fiscal 2001 compared to $30.9 million, or 7.7% of total revenues, for fiscal 2000. General and administrative costs for fiscal 2001 reflect decreases in field management costs, a reduction in corporate staff costs due to a cost containment program which we implemented beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and lower costs related to litigation contingencies offset, in part, by a decrease in the amount of overhead capitalized in connection with capital projects due to the reduced number of new unit openings. Minority interest represents the share of the minority holders' interests in the combined operations or loss in each period of the fiscal years being reported of the joint ventures in which we have a majority interest. In early fiscal 2002, we closed one of the two locations which are included in the calculation of the minority interest with a minimal charge to earnings that was recorded in fiscal 2001. Interest expense of $31.0 million and $30.2 million for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, relate to the 11%, $255.0 million Senior Notes issued to finance our going private transaction, the 8.4%, $16.0 million mortgage loan on our corporate headquarters and fees for the unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Of these amounts, $1.5 million in each of 2001 and 2000 represented non-cash charges for the accretion of the original issue discount on our Senior Notes and the amortization of deferred financing costs on the Senior Notes, Credit Agreement and the mortgage loan. The increase in interest expense was due to the full period impact in fiscal 2001 of the mortgage loan, which was entered into in March 2000. -20- Interest income was approximately $0.8 million for fiscal 2001 and $0.9 million for fiscal 2000. Interest income in fiscal 2001 was affected by reduced availability of cash for investment and lower interest rates. Equity in the net income of unconsolidated affiliates represents our share of earnings and losses in those new concepts in which the company has a 50% or less ownership interest. We have determined that we will continue to develop and expand the steakhouse joint venture locations but are evaluating the disposition of the other concepts in which we have a 50% or less ownership interest. We elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning January 3, 2000. Under the provisions of Subchapter S, substantially all taxes on our income are paid by our shareholders rather than us. Our tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, represents taxes owed to jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status or that tax entities based on factors other than income. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," we recognized a $5.6 million credit associated with the reversal of our deferred tax liabilities upon our conversion to S corporation status in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 Our consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was $78.7 million and our EBITDA margin was 19.7%, compared to $78.6 million and 20.2%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. Restaurant sales from Sbarro-owned quick service units and consolidated new concept units increased by $6.9 million, or 1.8%, to $382.4 million for fiscal 2000 from $375.5 million in fiscal 1999. Sales from new concept units contributed $5.1 million of the increase in restaurant sales. However, the revenues from new quick service units did not offset the loss of revenues from closed quick service units as we closed two more units than we opened in 2000, including two high volume units (one of which is being replaced in fiscal 2001). No material price increases were implemented in fiscal 2000. Comparable Sbarro quick service unit sales increased 0.2% during fiscal 2000. Comparable restaurant sales are made up of sales at locations that were open during the entire current and prior fiscal year. Franchise related income increased 29.3% to $11.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. The increase resulted from greater continuing royalties due to a higher number of franchise units in operation, higher area development and higher initial franchise fees in fiscal 2000 than in fiscal 1999, particularly from international markets, and approximately $1.5 million recognized in fiscal 2000 related to the termination of our development agreement and the closing of all Sbarro locations in Japan. In fiscal 2000, we entered into area development agreements in specific domestic and international venues and markets with two major food service operators. To date, these arrangements have not produced expected revenues. Real estate and other revenues increased by $0.3 million to $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 from fiscal 1999 due to the full year impact from leasing a majority of our corporate headquarters building not occupied by Sbarro to third parties in 1999. -21- Cost of food and paper products as a percentage of restaurant sales improved to 19.5% for fiscal 2000 from 20.2% in the 1999 fiscal year. This improvement was primarily due to lower average cheese prices during fiscal 2000. Payroll and other employee benefits increased to 26.6% of restaurant sales for the year ended December 31 2000 from 25.9% of restaurant sales in the year ended January 2, 2000. This increase was primarily due to a tight labor market, resulting in pressures on wages and salaries and associated increases in amounts paid for payroll taxes. Other operating expenses increased to 29.8% for fiscal 2000 from 28.9% of restaurant sales for fiscal 1999 primarily due to increases in rent, utility and other occupancy related expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.3 million for fiscal 2000 over fiscal 1999. Depreciation and amortization expense included $4.8 and $2.0 million in fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, for amortization of the excess of the purchase price over the cost of net assets acquired in connection with the completion of the going private transaction on September 28, 1999 representing a full year in 2000 compared to three months in 1999. In fiscal 2000, we finalized our allocation of the purchase price from the going private transaction based on an evaluation of our net assets at September 29, 1999 resulting in lower annual amortization expense than originally estimated. General and administrative costs were $30.9 million, or 7.7% of total revenues, for fiscal 2000, compared to $28.9 million, or 7.4% of total revenues, for fiscal 1999. These increases were primarily due to higher payroll costs, costs incurred in expanding franchise and new concept operations and increases in various professional fees, including litigation expenses. These expenses include the cost of operating our corporate headquarters building. The provision for unit closings is the result of a special allocation of losses in fiscal 1999 of $1.0 million in connection with the final disposition of two joint venture unit closings recorded in 1997. Minority interest represents the share of the minority holders' interests in the combined income in fiscal 2000 and combined loss in fiscal 1999 of the joint ventures in which we have a majority interest. Interest expense of $30.2 million for fiscal 2000 relates to the 11%, $255.0 million Senior Notes issued to finance our going private transaction on September 28, 1999, the 8.4%, $16.0 million mortgage loan on our corporate headquarters in 2000 and line fees for unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Results for fiscal 1999 included interest only from the date of the going private transaction through the end of the 1999 fiscal year of $7.9 million for the Senior Notes and Credit Agreement line fees. Of these amounts, $1.5 and $0.4 million for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, represented non-cash charges for the accretion of the original issue discount on our Senior Notes and the amortization of deferred financing costs on the Senior Notes, Credit Agreement and, in 2000, the mortgage loan. Interest income was approximately $0.9 million and $3.8 million for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. We used substantially all of our available cash on September 28, 1999 in order to fund the going private transaction. Therefore, we had a substantial reduction in our interest income for fiscal 2000. -22- Equity in the net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates represents our share of earnings and losses in those new concepts in which the Company has a 50% or less ownership interest. We have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning January 3, 2000. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," we recognized a $5.6 million credit associated with the reversal of our deferred tax liabilities upon conversion to S corporation status in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Under the provisions of Subchapter S, substantially all taxes on our income is now paid by our shareholders rather than us. Our tax expense for the fiscal 2000 included $0.5 million for taxes owed to jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status or that tax entities based on factors other than income. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND OTHER FACTORS Food, labor, rent, construction and equipment costs are the items most affected by inflation in the restaurant business. Although for the past several years inflation has not been a significant factor, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. In addition, food and paper product costs may be temporarily or permanently affected by weather, economic and other factors beyond our control that may reduce the availability and increase the cost of these items. Historically, the price of cheese has fluctuated more than our other food ingredients and related restaurant supplies. SEASONALITY Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and the effects of weather and economic conditions. Earnings have been highest in our fourth fiscal quarter due primarily to increased volume in shopping malls during the holiday shopping season. Historically, the fourth fiscal quarter had accounted for approximately 40% of annual operating net income before the effect of additional amortization associated with the going private transaction ("adjusted operating income") and fluctuates due to the length of the holiday shopping period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day and the number of weeks in our fourth quarter. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2001 and 2000 were approximately 24% and 40%, respectively, of adjusted operating income for the respective fiscal year. The lower percentage of adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 reflect the adverse impact of the general economic downturn and the effect of the events of September 11, 2001 ACCOUNTING PERIOD Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. All reported fiscal years contained 52 weeks. Fiscal 2002 will also contain 52 weeks. -23- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have historically not required significant working capital to fund our existing operations and have financed our capital expenditures and investments in our joint ventures through cash generated from operations. At December 30, 2001, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $37.0 million and working capital of $4.6 million compared to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $42.3 million and working capital of $10.3 million as of December 31, 2000. As part of the going private transaction, we sold $255.0 million of 11% Senior Notes (at a price of 98.514% of par to yield 11.25% per annum), the net proceeds of which, together with substantially all of our then existing cash, was used to finance the transaction, and entered into a $30.0 million Credit Agreement. At December 30, 2001 and March 15, 2002, we had $27.0 million and $27.3 million of undrawn availability under our Credit Agreement, net of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees of reimbursement obligations aggregating approximately $3.0 and $2.7 million, respectively. We were in compliance with the various covenants in the Indenture for the Senior Notes and the Mortgage as of December 30, 2001. We have received a waiver of compliance for fiscal 2001 from certain ratios required to be maintained under our credit agreement at year end and an amendment to certain annual ratios required for fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003. As amended, the Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (in each case with the guaranteeing subsidiaries) of at least 1.25 to 1.0 through December 28, 2002, 1.90 to 1.0 beginning December 29, 2002 and 2.0 to 1.0 beginning December 28, 2003. We are also required to maintain a ratio of consolidated senior debt to consolidated EBITDA (in each case with the guaranteeing subsidiaries) of 7.25 to 1 through December 28, 2002, 4.7 to 1.0 beginning December 29, 2002 and 4.5 to 1.0 beginning December 28, 2003. We anticipate being in compliance with the revised ratios. Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.8 million and $48.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The $13.5 million reduction was primarily due to a reduction in operating income, before the provision for asset impairment, restaurant closings and other charges, of $15.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities before the change in accrued interest payable and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities in 2000 upon conversion to Subchapter S status was $53.5 million for fiscal 2000. Net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures, including investments made by our consolidated other concepts. Net cash used in investing activities was $22.5 million for 2001 compared to $31.2 million for 2000. Net cash used in financing activities was $17.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2001 compared to $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2001 resulted primarily from $12.6 million of distributions to shareholders, including tax distributions of $7.6 million (see below), $4.0 million of loans to our shareholders, net of $2.7 of repayments of certain loans, and the purchase of the 20% interest in the Umberto of New Hyde Park concept in settlement of litigation for $1.0 million. Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2000 resulted primarily from $22.1 million of distributions to shareholders, including tax distributions of $3.8 million (see below), and a $2.0 million loan to our Chairman, President and CEO offset, in part, by $15.6 million of net proceeds from a $16.0 million 8.4% ten year loan secured by a mortgage on our corporate headquarters. -24- In March 2000, we elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions beginning January 3, 2000. Under the provisions of Subchapter S, substantially all taxes on our income are paid by our shareholders. We and our shareholders had a tax liability of approximately 46% of our taxable income in both 2001 and 2000. Despite our book loss, our shareholders are expected to have taxable income in fiscal 2001 resulting from differences in the book and tax treatments of the provision for asset impairment, the non-deductability of goodwill for tax purposes and significant differences in book and tax depreciation. The 46% tax rate is higher than our historical effective tax rate prior to 2000 due to (i) differences in tax rates between individual and corporate taxpayers, (ii) the timing differences previously accounted for as deferred taxes in our financial statements (which deferred taxes were eliminated upon our conversion to S corporation status) and (iii) the effect of double taxation (once on us for our taxable income and once on our shareholders for dividends received from us) in those state and local jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status. The Indenture for the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement permit us to make distributions to shareholders to provide funds to them for their payments of taxes on our earnings. We made tax distributions of $3.8 million in fiscal 2000, $7.6 million in fiscal 2001 (all for fiscal 2000) and $3.1 million in January 2002 related to 2001 tax basis earnings. We do not expect to make additional tax distributions in 2002 related to 2001 earnings. We incur annual cash interest expense of approximately $29.7 million under the Senior Notes and mortgage loan and may incur additional interest expense for borrowings under our Credit Agreement. In addition to debt service, we expect that our other liquidity needs will relate to capital expenditures, working capital, investments in other ventures, distributions to shareholders as permitted under the Indenture for the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement and general corporate purposes. We believe that aggregate restaurant capital expenditures and our investments in joint ventures during the next twelve months will be significantly lower than levels in fiscal 2001 ($22.5 million) due to reduced levels of capital expenditures proposed for our consolidated other concepts. Unpaid capital expenditure commitments aggregated approximately $1.4 million at December 30, 2001. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to meet these needs will be cash flow from operations and availability under our Credit Agreement. Under the Indenture under which our Senior Notes are issued, there are various covenants that limit our ability to borrow funds in addition to lending arrangements that existed at the date of the going private transactions and replacements of those arrangements, to make "restricted payments" including, among other things, dividend payments (other than as distributions pursuant to the Tax Payment Agreement), and to make investments in, among other things, unrestricted subsidiaries. Among other covenants, the Indenture requires that, in order for us to borrow (except under specifically permitted arrangements, such as up to $75.0 million of revolving credit loans), our consolidated interest ratio coverage (as defined in the Indenture), after giving pro forma effect to the interest on the new borrowing, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters must be at least 2.5 to 1. In order to make restricted payments, our ratio must be at least 2.0 to 1, after giving pro forma effect to the restricted payment. As of December 30, 2001, that ratio was 2.03 to 1. As a result, we are not presently able to borrow funds other than specifically permitted indebtedness, including up to $75.0 million of revolving credit loans. -25- Our contractual obligations with respect to both our and the other concepts (both those in which we have a majority or minority interest) are as follows:
DUE BY PERIOD ---------------------------------------------------------- AFTER 5 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TOTAL 1 YEAR 1 - 3 YEARS 4 - 5 YEARS YEARS ----------------------- ----- ------ ----------- ----------- ----- (IN MILLIONS) Senior Notes (1) $ 255.0 $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- $ 255.0 Mortgage Loan (2) $ 15.8 $ 0.1 $ 0.3 $ 0.3 $ 15.2 Credit Agreement (3) $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- $ -0- Standby Letters of Credit (4) $ 3.0 $ -0- $ -0- $ 0.1 $ 2.9 Guarantees (5) $ 7.0 $ 2.0 $ 0.1 $ -0- $ 4.9 Operating Leases (6) $ 590.9 $ 7.8 $ 147.4 $ 134.1 $ 231.6
(1) There are no principal repayment obligations under the Senior Note until September 2009. (2) Payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $0.1 million. Table includes only principal portion of the installment payments. (3) The Credit Agreement enables us to borrow, from time to time, up to $30.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to a $10.0 million subfacility therefor under the Credit Agreement. No repayments are required under the Credit Agreement until September 2004. There are currently no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. However, of the $3.0 million of letters of credit reflected below, $2.7 million reduces our availability under such Credit Agreement. (4) Represents our maximum reimbursement obligations to the issuer of the letter of credit in the event the letter of credit is drawn upon. The letters of credit generally are issued instead of cash security deposits under leases or to guarantee construction costs for Sbarro or other concept locations. With the exception of one standby letter of credit for one of our other concept locations that guarantees the payment of construction costs, all the standby letters of credit are annually renewable through the expiration of the related lease terms. (5) Represents our portion of the borrowings of our steakhouse joint venture, in which we have a minority interest. Our obligation under the guaranty is several so that we are potentially responsible only for our share of the debt. Our potential share is shown in the above table. (6) Includes operating leases subleased by us to franchisees and operating leases for which we guarantee the obligations for certain of our other concept locations. Except for the foregoing, we have no off-balance sheet contractual arrangements. We have no unconditional purchase obligations except that, at December 30, 2001, we were a party to contracts aggregating $7.0 million with respect to the construction of restaurants (of which approximately $1.4 million remained to be paid thereunder). Historically, we have not purchased or entered into interest rate swaps or future, forward, option or other instruments designed to hedge against changes in interest rates, the price of commodities we purchase or the value of foreign currencies. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible -26- assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 have, since July 1, 2001, applied to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective December 31, 2001. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 that we will adopt effective December 31, 2001 will result in a reduction of approximately $5.4 million in annual amortization of intangible assets. Our initial evaluations of impairment are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. We have adopted SFAS No. 143 in fiscal 2002. SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material effect on our operations. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations-Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." This Statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of impairment, but amends the accounting and reporting standards for segments of a business to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material impact as we will continue to assess impairment of the assets of our restaurants as we have in the past. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS ------------------------------------------ Accounting policies whose application may have a significant effect on our reported results of operations and financial position and that can require judgments by management that can affect their application, include SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," and SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 5 requires management judgments regarding the probability and estimated amount of possible future contingent liabilities, especially, in our case, legal matters. SFAS No. 121 requires judgments regarding future operating or disposition plans for marginally performing assets. The application of both of these policies has affected the amount and timing of charges to operating results that have been significant in recent years. In the past we have made, and we intend in the future to make, decisions regarding legal matters based on the status of the matter and our best estimate of the outcome (we expense defense costs as incurred) and regarding our long-lived assets based on our business judgment of when to close underperforming units. We will be required to periodically assess, under SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the impairment of goodwill and intangible asset acquired prior to July 1, 2001 ($205.2 million, net of accumulated amortization, at December 30, 2001). Our initial evaluations of impairment are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Any such impairment would affect our earnings but, since any charge to earnings would be a non-cash charge, would not affect our cash flow. We do not believe an impairment, if any, will be material. -27- ITEM 7-A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ---------------------------------------- OF MARKET RISK -------------- We have historically invested our cash on hand in short term, fixed rate, highly rated and highly liquid instruments which are reinvested when they mature throughout the year. The Indenture under which our Senior Notes are issued limits us to similar investments. Although our existing investments are not considered at risk with respect to changes in interest rates or markets for these instruments, our rate of return on short-term investments could be affected at the time of reinvestment as a result of intervening events. Future borrowings under our credit facility (none are currently outstanding) will be at rates that float with the market and, therefore, will be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our $255.0 Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 11.0%. However, we do not expect to enter into any interest rate swaps or other instruments to hedge interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility for Senior Notes. We have not purchased future, forward, option or other instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the prices of the commodities we purchase. As a result, our future commodities purchases are subject to changes in the prices of such commodities. All of our transactions with foreign franchisees have been denominated in, and all payments have been made in, United States dollars, reducing the risks attendant in changes in the values of foreign currencies. As a result, we have not purchased future contracts, options or other instruments to hedge against changes in values of foreign currencies. -28- ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ---------------------------------------- To Sbarro, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sbarro, Inc. (a New York corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sbarro, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP New York, New York March 21, 2002 -29- SBARRO, INC.

See notes to consolidated financial statements -35- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sbarro, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of its majority-owned joint ventures (together, "we," "our," "us," or "Sbarro"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest includes the interests held by our partners in certain of our majority-owned joint ventures. The minority interests at the end of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were not material. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES: Inventories, consisting primarily of food, beverages and paper supplies, are stated at cost, which is determined by the first-in, first-out method. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and depreciation. Depreciation of equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. One-half year of depreciation and amortization is recorded in the year in which the restaurant commences operations. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets consist of our trademarks and tradenames, goodwill and deferred financing costs. Trademark and tradename values as well as goodwill were determined based on a fair value allocation of the purchase price from the going private transaction (see Note 2) and are being amortized on a straight line basis over 40 years. There is additional goodwill relating to the purchase of the 20% minority interest in one of our other concepts in March 2001 in connection with the settlement of an action against such minority owner. -36- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED): In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 142 also requires that the amortization of goodwill (which resulted in a charge to earnings of $5.4 million in 2001) cease on December 31, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply immediately to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 ($205.2 million, net of accumulated amortization, at December 30, 2001), we will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective with fiscal 2002. Our initial evaluations of impairment are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Deferred financing costs were incurred as a result of the going private transaction (see Note 2) and the mortgage on the corporate headquarters building (see Note 9) and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the respective lives of the related debt instrument. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION: In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. We will adopt SFAS No. 143 in fiscal 2002. SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material effect on our operations. LONG-LIVED ASSETS: In connection with SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of," impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets on a restaurant by restaurant basis whenever impairment factors are determined to be present, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying value of such assets and events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Additionally, the Company periodically reviews -37- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): LONG-LIVED ASSETS (CONTINUED): the values assigned to goodwill and other acquired intangibles which resulted from the going private and other transactions to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS 121 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." This Statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of impairment, but amends the accounting and reporting standards for segments of a business to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material impact as we will continue to assess impairment of the assets of our restaurants as we have in the past. EQUITY INVESTMENTS: The Company accounts for its investments in 50% or less owned joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The equity in the net income (loss) of these unconsolidated affiliates and the related assets are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: We observe the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. The adoption of this statement had no impact on our net income or shareholders' equity. For all years presented, our operations did not give rise to items includible in comprehensive income which were not already included in net income. Therefore, our comprehensive income is the same as our net income for all periods presented. FRANCHISE RELATED INCOME: Initial franchise fees are recorded as income as restaurants are opened by the franchisee and we have performed substantially all services. Development fees are recognized over the number of restaurant openings covered under each development agreement, with any remaining balance recognized at the end of the term of the agreement. Royalty and other fees from franchisees are accrued as earned. -38- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): DEFERRED RENT: The majority of our lease agreements provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term. Provision has been made for the excess of operating lease rental expense over cash rentals paid, computed on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. INCOME TAXES: In March 2000, we elected to be taxed, beginning January 3, 2000, under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions. We no longer pay federal, and, with certain limited exceptions, state and local income taxes for periods for which we are treated as an S corporation. Rather, our shareholders include their pro-rata share of our taxable income on their individual income tax returns and thus are required to pay taxes on their respective share of our taxable income, whether or not it is distributed to them. We file a consolidated federal income tax return for informational purposes. Minority interest includes no provision or liability for income taxes as any tax liability related to their interest is the responsibility of the minority partners. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," we reversed our net deferred taxes upon our conversion to S corporation status. This resulted in a credit to income taxes of $5.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. ACCOUNTING PERIOD: Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. All reported fiscal years contained 52 weeks. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes at December 30, 2001 was approximately $244,800. The carrying amount of the mortgage loan approximates fair value because the interest rate this instrument bears is equivalent to the current rates offered for debt of similar nature and maturity. -39- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Presently, we do not use derivative instruments and therefore SFAS No. 133, while effective in fiscal 2001, is not currently applicable. SEGMENT REPORTING: We have no material reportable segments under SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," other than our primary quick service restaurant business. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN: The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan ("Plan") for all qualified employees. The Plan provides for a 25% matching employer contribution of up to four percent of the employees' deferred savings (maximum contribution of 1% of an employee's deferred savings). The employer contributions vest over five years. The deferred amount cannot exceed fifteen percent of an individual participant's compensation in any calendar year. The Company's contribution to the Plan was $137,000, $163,000 and $147,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain items in the financial statements presented have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION: FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED ------------------------------------------------ DECEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, JANUARY 2, 2001 2000 2000 ---- ---- ---- (IN THOUSANDS) Cash paid for: Income taxes $ 1,107 $ 3,949 $20,129 ======== ======== ======= Interest $ 29,491 $ 28,104 $ 30 ======== ======== ======== -40- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. GOING PRIVATE TRANSACTION: On September 28, 1999, members of the Sbarro family (who prior thereto owned approximately 34.4% of the Sbarro's common stock) became the holders of 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock as a result of a "going private" merger. The cost of the merger, including fees and expenses, was funded through the use of substantially all of our then cash on hand and the placement of $255.0 million of 11.0% Senior Notes due September 15, 2009 sold at a price of 98.514% of par to yield 11.25% per annum. We also entered into an unsecured senior revolving bank credit facility under a Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides an unsecured senior revolving credit facility which enables us to borrow, on a revolving basis from time to time during its five-year term, up to $30.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the funds remaining for untendered shares that had been held by a third party paying agent were returned to us. We will hold such funds until the related shares are tendered or escheated to the appropriate jurisdiction. At December 30, 2001, there was $45,000 being held by us for such untendered shares that is shown as restricted cash and amounts due for untendered shares in the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 88-16, "Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions," the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of common stock not owned by the Sbarro family and all outstanding stock options was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the remaining shares of common stock owned by the Sbarro family are presented in shareholders' equity at their original basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During fiscal 2000, we finalized an allocation of the purchase price from the going private transaction based on an evaluation of the Company at September 29, 1999. As a result, property and equipment and intangible assets were increased by $7.0 million and $216.0 million, respectively, and annual depreciation and amortization expense was lower than originally estimated due to the allocation to assets with different remaining useful lives. This resulted in a $2.4 million education of depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 (see Notes 5 and 14). All stock option plans that were in effect as of the date of the going private transaction were terminated on September 29, 1999. Summarized below are our unaudited pro forma results of operations for our 1999 fiscal year ended January 2, 2000, as if the merger had taken place as of the beginning of that year. -41- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. GOING PRIVATE TRANSACTION (CONTINUED): Adjustments have been made for the amortization of the excess of the purchase price over the cost basis of net assets acquired, interest expense, including interest on a $16.0 million bank mortgage loan issued subsequent to fiscal 1999 to one of our subsidiaries (Note 14) and related changes in income tax expense. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED ------------------------- JANUARY 2, 2000 --------------- (IN THOUSANDS) Pro Forma: Revenues $389,697 ======== Net income $ 6,662 =========== These pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the merger taken place at the beginning of the period presented or of results which may occur in the future. 3. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: We and our franchisees develop and operate family oriented cafeteria style Italian restaurants principally under the "Sbarro" and "Sbarro The Italian Eatery" names. The restaurants are located throughout the world, principally in shopping malls and other high traffic locations. Since 1995, we have developed and established other restaurant concepts to provide growth opportunities that leverage our restaurant management and financial expertise. The following sets forth the number of restaurants in operation as of: DECEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, JANUARY 2, 2001 2000 2000 ---- ---- ---- Sbarro-owned (a) 602 636 638 Franchised 325 303 286 --- --- --- 927 939 924 === === === (a) Excludes 37, 33 and 26 other concept units as of the end of the respective fiscal years. -42- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 4. EFFECT OF EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: As a result of the events of September 11, 2001, a Sbarro-owned location, as well as a franchise location, that had operated in the World Trade Center in New York City were destroyed. Although the Sbarro-owned location generated high sales revenues and operating income, the effect on fiscal 2001 was not material to consolidated results as a whole. The franchise location did not generate significant royalty revenues. In addition, a number of airports were closed due to the events of September 11 causing airport Sbarro-owned and franchise units to close for periods of time and a number of downtown locations have experienced a prolonged period of reduced sales. We are fully insured for the cost of the assets destroyed at the Company location. The estimated amount of the expected recovery is included in accounts receivable as of December 30, 2001. In addition, we expect to recover lost income from our business interruption insurance coverage but, under applicable accounting principles, have not reflected any estimated recoveries in our financial statements. 5.

INCOME TAXES In March 2000, we elected to be taxed, beginning January 3, 2000, under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions. We no longer pay federal, and with certain limited exceptions, state and local income taxes for periods for which we are treated as an S corporation. Rather, our shareholders include their pro-rata share of our taxable income on their individual income tax returns and thus are required to pay taxes on their respective share of our taxable income, whether or not it is distributed to them. In connection with the going private transaction and the related financing, we have entered into a tax payment agreement with our shareholders. The tax payment agreement permits us to make periodic tax distributions to our shareholders in amounts that are intended to approximate the income taxes, including estimated taxes, that would be payable by our shareholders if their only income were their pro-rata share of our taxable income and that income was taxed at the highest applicable federal and New York State marginal income tax rates. We may only make the tax distributions with respect to periods in which we are treated as an S corporation for income tax purposes. We made distributions to our shareholders in accordance with the tax payment agreement of $7.6 million in fiscal 2001 (all of which related to our fiscal 2000 earnings), $3.8 million in fiscal 2000 and $3.1 million in January 2002 related to our fiscal 2001 earnings. We estimate that no additional distributions will be made in 2002 related to 2001 earnings. Despite our book loss, our shareholders are expected to have taxable income in fiscal 2001 resulting from differences in the book and tax treatments of the provision for asset impairment, the non-deductability of goodwill for tax purposes and significant differences in book and tax depreciation. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," we reversed our net deferred income taxes upon our conversion to S corporation status. This resulted in a credit to income taxes of $5.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The provision for income taxes is composed of the following (payable by us to jurisdictions that do not recognize S corporation status or that tax entities based on factors other than income): -45- SBARRO, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. LONG-TERM DEBT: (a) The merger (Note 2) was partially funded by the placement of $255.0 million of 11.0% Senior Notes due September 15, 2009. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year and commenced on March 15, 2000. Our payment obligations under the Senior Notes are jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by all of Sbarro's current Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) and is to be similarly guaranteed by our future Restricted Subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the subsidiary guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of Sbarro and the guaranteeing subsidiaries, respectively, ranking pari passu in right of payment to all of our and their respective present and future senior debt, including amounts outstanding under the bank credit agreement discussed below. The Indenture permits redemption of the Senior Notes at our option at varying redemption prices and requires us to offer to purchase Senior Notes in the event of a Change of Control and in connection with certain Asset Sales (each as defined). The Indenture contains various covenants on our part and on the part of the guaranteeing subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our payment of dividends, stock repurchases, certain investments and other restricted payments, the incurrence of indebtedness and liens on our assets, affiliate transactions, asset sales and mergers. We were in compliance with the various covenants contained in the Indenture as of December 30, 2001. The discount at which the Senior Notes were issued, an aggregate of approximately $3.8 million, is being accreted to the Senior Notes on a straight-line basis over the original ten year life of the Senior Notes. Accretion of the discount was $0.3 million in each of fiscal 2001 and 2000 and $0.1 million in fiscal 1999. (b) On September 23, 1999, we entered into a Bank Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which provides us with an unsecured senior revolving credit facility that enables us to borrow, on a revolving basis from time to time during its five-year term, up to $30.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. No amounts were outstanding under the credit facility as of December 30, 2001. At our option, the interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement will be at either (i) the bank's prime rate (4.75% at March 15, 2002) plus a margin ranging from zero to 0.75% (the margin at March 15, 2002 was 0.75%) or (ii) reserve adjusted LIBOR (1.90% at March 15, 2002) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% (the margin at March 15, 2002 was 2.5%). In each case, the margin depends upon the ratio of our senior debt (as defined) to our earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). We have agreed to pay certain fees in connection with the Credit Agreement, including an unused commitment fee at a rate per year that will vary from 0.25% of the undrawn amount of the facility to 0.45% of the undrawn amount of the facility per year, depending upon the ratio of -47- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED): our senior debt to EBITDA. The unused commitment fee at March 15, 2002 was 0.45% per year. Each of our current guaranteeing subsidiaries (the same entities as the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Indenture) have agreed to, and the future guaranteeing subsidiaries are to, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement on a joint and several basis. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement are repayable on September 28, 2004. In addition, we will be required to repay our loans and reduce the lenders' commitments under the Credit Agreement using the proceeds of certain asset sales and issuances of certain equity interests of, and sales of equity interests in, the guaranteeing subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants on our part and on the part of the guaranteeing subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the payment of dividends and making stock repurchases, certain investments and other restricted payments, the incurrence of indebtedness, guarantees, other contingent obligations, liens on assets, affiliate transactions, asset sales and mergers, consolidations and acquisitions of stock or assets by us and our guaranteeing subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also contains provisions which, under certain circumstances, prohibit redemptions or repurchases of the Senior Notes, including repurchases that might otherwise be required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, and imposes certain conditions on our amending or supplementing the Indenture. In addition, we are required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (in each case with the guaranteeing subsidiaries) of at least 1.25 to 1.0 through December 28, 2002, 1.90 to 1.0 beginning December 29, 2002 and 2.0 to 1.0 beginning December 28, 2003.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED): COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED): We are a party to contracts aggregating $7.0 million with respect to the construction of restaurants. Payments of approximately $5.6 million have been made on those contracts as of December 30, 2001. As of March 15, 2002, there are $2.7 million of letters of credit outstanding for our benefit as well as for the benefit of our 100% owned other concepts. We have guaranteed up to $2.1 million of loans, $0.3 million of a mortgage, $0.3 million of letters of credit and a $4.6 million line of credit for certain of our minority owned ventures. CONTINGENCIES: On November 17, 1999, an action was instituted against us in which the plaintiffs allege that they served as store managers, general managers, assistant managers or co-managers in our restaurants in the State of Washington at various times since November 17, 1996 and that, in connection with their employment, we violated the overtime pay provisions of the State of Washington's Minimum Wage Act by treating them as overtime exempt employees, breached alleged employment agreements and statutory provisions by failing to record and pay for hours worked at the contract rates and/or statutory minimum wage rates and failed to provide statutorily required meal breaks and rest periods. The plaintiffs represented substantially all of our restaurant managers employed for any period of time on or after November 9, 1996 in the State of Washington. The settlement agreement approved by the court in February 2001 did not have a material impact upon either our financial condition or results of operations. On December 20, 1999, twelve current and former general managers of Sbarro restaurants in California amended a complaint against us filed in the Superior Court of California for Orange County. The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs were improperly classified as exempt employees under the California wage and hour law. The plaintiffs are seeking actual damages, punitive damages and costs of the lawsuit, including reasonable attorney's fees, each in unspecified amounts. Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the lawsuit as a class action, but the motion was denied by the court. We believe that we have substantial defenses to the claims and are vigorously defending this action. On September 6, 2000, eight other current and former general managers of Sbarro restaurants in California filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of California for Orange County alleging that the plaintiffs were improperly classified as exempt employees under California wage and hour law. The plaintiffs are seeking actual damages, punitive damages and costs of the lawsuit, including reasonable attorney's fees, each in unspecified amounts. -51- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED): CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED): Plaintiffs are represented by the same counsel who is representing the plaintiffs in the case discussed in the preceding paragraph. We believe that we have substantial defenses to the claims and are vigorously defending this action. From time to time, we are a party to certain claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which, in our opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. 11. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES: We are the sole tenant of an administrative office building in Commack, New York which is leased from a partnership owned by certain of our shareholders. For each of the 2001, 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, the annual rent paid pursuant to the sublease was $0.3 million. The annual rent payable pursuant to the sublease is $0.3 million each year for the remainder of the lease term which expires in 2011. In addition, we are obligated to pay real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and certain other expenses for the facility. We believe that our rent is comparable to the rent that would be charged by an unaffiliated third party. In April 2000, we loaned Mario Sbarro, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, $2.0 million, pursuant to a note due on April 4, 2002 bearing interest at 6.46%, payable annually. Such loan was prepaid November 19, 2001. On January 2 and 3, 2001, we loaned three executive officers and directors, Mario, Anthony and Joseph Sbarro, $200,000, $300,000 and $200,000, respectively, which loans were repaid on January 15, 2001 with interest at our bank's prime rate in effect during the time that the loans were outstanding. On April 5, 2001, we loaned $3.23 million to certain of our shareholders, including: Mario Sbarro, $1.08 million, Joseph Sbarro, $1.24 million and Anthony Sbarro, $0.87 million. The related notes are payable on April 5, 2003, and bear interest at the rate of 4.63%, payable annually. -52- SBARRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED): On December 28, 2001, we loaned $2.8 million to our shareholders, including: Mario Sbarro, $0.60 million, Joseph Sbarro, $0.70 million and Anthony Sbarro, $0.49 million and the Trust of Carmela Sbarro, $0.99 million The related notes are payable on December 28, 2004, and bear interest at the rate of 2.48%, payable annually. A member of our Board of Directors acts as a consultant to us for which he received $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million in the 2001, 2000, and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. We and our other concepts have purchased printing services from a corporation owned by a son-in-law of Mario Sbarro for which we and our other concepts paid, in the aggregate, $487,000, $547,000 and $397,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 12. PROVISION FOR ASSET IMPAIRMENT, RESTAURANT CLOSINGS AND OTHER CHARGES: During 2001, we recorded a provision for asset impairment, restaurant closings and other charges of $18.2 million. (See Note 5.) In connection with the final disposition of two joint venture unit closings recorded in fiscal 1997, we agreed to a special allocation of losses which resulted in an additional $1.0 million charge before tax, or $0.6 million after tax, to earnings in fiscal 1999. 13. DIVIDENDS: During 2001, we made distributions to our shareholders totaling $12.6 million including $7.6 million for taxes. Distributions for taxes were made pursuant to the tax payment agreement described in Note 8. During 2000, we made distributions to our shareholders totaling $22.1 million, including $3.8 million for taxes. In January, 2002, we made a tax distribution of $3.1 million. -53- SBARRO, INC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Reference is made to the caption "Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions" in Item 11, "Executive Compensation," in this report for information concerning the participation of Messrs. Mario Sbarro, Anthony Sbarro and Joseph Sbarro in executive compensation determinations. We are the sole tenant of an administrative office building, which is leased from Sbarro Enterprises, L.P. The annual rent payable pursuant to the sublease is $0.3 million each year for the remainder of the lease term, which expires in 2011. In addition, we are obligated to pay real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and certain other expenses for the facility. We believe that our rent is comparable to the rent that would be charged by an unaffiliated third party. The limited partners of Sbarro Enterprises, L.P. are Mario, Joseph, Anthony and Carmela Sbarro. We, our subsidiaries and the joint ventures in which we have an interest have purchased printing services from a corporation owned by a son-in-law of Mario Sbarro for which they paid, in the aggregate, $487,825 during fiscal 2001. We believe that these services were provided on terms comparable to those that would have been available from unrelated third parties. During fiscal 2001, we paid cash dividends to our shareholders totaling $12.6 million including $7.6 million of distributions made pursuant to the tax payment agreement described below. On January 2 and 3, 2001, we loaned $200,000 to Mario Sbarro, $300,000 to Joseph Sbarro and $200,000 to Anthony Sbarro which loans were repaid on January 15, 2001 with interest at the prime rate at European American Bank (which has since been acquired by Citicorp) during the time that the loans were outstanding. On April 5, 2001, we loaned $3.23 million to certain of our shareholders, including: Mario Sbarro, $1.08 million, Joseph Sbarro, $1.24 million and Anthony Sbarro, $0.87 million. The related notes are payable on April 5, 2003, and bear interest at the rate of 4.63%, payable annually. On December 28, 2001, we loaned $2.8 million to our shareholders, including: Mario Sbarro, $0.60 million, Joseph Sbarro, $0.70 million and Anthony Sbarro, $0.49 million and the Trust of Carmela Sbarro, $0.99 million. The related notes are payable on December 28, 2004, and bear interest at the rate of 2.48%, payable annually. On January 15, 2002, we paid a cash dividend to our shareholders of $3.1 million as a distribution made pursuant to the tax payment agreement. A company owned by the daughter of Joseph Sbarro and companies owned by a son of Anthony Sbarro are parties to franchise agreements with us containing terms similar to those in agreements entered into by us with unrelated franchisees. Royalties under these agreements in fiscal 2001 were $44,000 (which, together with $40,000 of fiscal 2000 royalties, have not as yet been paid) and $88,008, respectively. -75- Bernard Zimmerman & Company, Inc., of which Bernard Zimmerman is President and a majority shareholder, renders financial and consulting assistance to us, for which it received fees of $315,200 for services during our 2001 fiscal year. In addition to the compensation of Mario, Anthony, Joseph, Gennaro A. and Gennaro J. Sbarro and Anthony J. Missano: o Carmela Sbarro, the mother of Mario, Anthony and Joseph Sbarro, who was a co-founder of Sbarro and serves as Vice President and a director, received $100,000 from us for services rendered during fiscal 2001; and o Carmela N. Merendino, a daughter of Mario Sbarro, who serves as Vice President - Administration, received $211,684 from us for services rendered during fiscal 2001. o Other members of the immediate families of Mario, Anthony, Joseph and Carmela Sbarro who are our employees, earned an aggregate of $577,169 during fiscal 2001. Tax Payment Agreement We have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and, where applicable and permitted, under similar state and local income tax provisions, beginning in fiscal 2000. With certain limited exceptions, we do not pay federal and state and local income taxes for periods for which we are treated as an S corporation. Rather, our shareholders include their pro-rata share of our taxable income on their individual income tax returns and thus are required to pay taxes with respect to their respective shares of our taxable income, whether or not it is distributed to them. We have entered into a tax payment agreement with our shareholders. The tax payment agreement permits us to make periodic tax distributions to our shareholders in amounts that are intended to approximate the income taxes, including estimated taxes, that would be payable by our shareholders if their only income was their pro-rata share of our taxable income and that income was taxed at the highest applicable federal and New York State marginal income tax rates. We may only make the tax distributions with respect to periods in which we are treated as an S corporation. We made distributions of $7.6 million in fiscal 2001, $3.8 million in fiscal 2000 and $3.1 million in January 2002 (with respect to fiscal 2001 taxes). We do not expect to make additional distributions in fiscal 2002 for fiscal 2001 earnings. Despite our book loss, our shareholders are expected to have taxable income in fiscal 2001 resulting from differences in the book and tax treatments of the provision for asset impairment, the non-deductability of goodwill for tax purposes and significant differences in book and tax depreciation. The tax payment agreement provides for adjustments of the amount of tax distributions previously paid in respect of a year upon the filing of our federal income tax return for that year, upon the filing of an amended federal income tax return or as a result of an audit. In these circumstances, if it is determined that the amount of tax distributions previously made for the year was less than the amount computed based upon our federal income tax return, our amended federal -76- return or as adjusted based on the results of the audit, we may make additional tax distributions which might include amounts to cover any interest or penalties. Conversely, if it is determined in these circumstances that the amount of tax distributions previously made for a year exceeded the amount computed based on our federal income tax return, our amended federal return or the results of an audit, as the case may be, our shareholders will be required to repay the excess, with, in certain circumstances, interest. In addition, our shareholders will be required to return, with interest, any tax distributions previously distributed with respect to any taxable year for which it is subsequently determined that we were not an S corporation.
