3. RECENT RESTAURANT EXPANSION


In August 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the former ESPN Zone space at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino Resort in Las Vegas and re-open the space under the name The Sporting House. Such lease is cancellable upon 90 days written notice and provides for rent based on profits only. This restaurant opened at the end of October 2010 and the Company did not invest significant funds to re-open the space.


In the quarter ended January 1, 2011, the Company combined three fast food outlets located in the Village Eateries in the New York-New York Hotel & Casino Resort in Las Vegas into a new restaurant, The Broadway Burger Bar, which opened at the end of December 2010.


On March 18, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement to operate a restaurant and bar in New York City named Clyde Frazier’s Wine and Dine. In connection with the agreement, the landlord has agreed to contribute up to $1,800,000 towards the construction of the facility (of which $1,000,000 was received as of June 30, 2012), which totaled approximately $7,000,000. The initial term of the lease for this facility expires on March 31, 2027 and has one five-year renewal. This restaurant opened during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and, as a result, the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the 39-weeks ended June 30, 2012 includes approximately $970,000 of pre-opening and early operating losses related to this facility.
