MORGANS FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements of Morgans Foods, Inc. (the Company) have been
prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company Management, all adjustments have been included.
Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. These unaudited financial
statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation of
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 25, 2007. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations.
Effective February 26, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized
in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty
percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized
tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Upon adoption, we determined that the
provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on prior financial statements and therefore no
change was made to the opening balance of retained earnings.
FIN 48 also requires that changes in judgment that result in subsequent recognition, derecognition
or change in a measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related
interest and penalties) be recognized as a discrete item in the period in which the change occurs.
This change will not impact the manner in which we record income taxes on an annual basis and did
not significantly impact our recorded income tax provision in the quarter ended May 20, 2007.
It is the Companys policy to include any penalties and interest related to income taxes in its
income tax provision, however, the Company currently has no penalties or interest related to income
taxes. The earliest year that the Company is subject to examination is the fiscal year ended
February 29, 2004.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157
apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the year beginning
March 1, 2008 for the Company. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 159 to determine
any impact for the Company.
NOTE 2
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is
based on the combined weighted average number of shares outstanding, which includes the assumed
exercise, or conversion of options. In computing diluted net income per common share, the Company
has utilized the treasury stock method.
NOTE 3
DEBT
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage loans and the maintenance of
individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by dividing the cash flow
before rent and debt service for the previous 12 months by the debt service and rent due in the
coming 12 months. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed quarterly. At the
end of fiscal 2007 and as of the quarter ended May 20, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2. However, at the end of fiscal 2007 and as of the
quarter ended May 20, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge
coverage ratio on certain of its restaurant properties and has obtained waivers of these
violations.

NOTE 4STOCK OPTIONS
On April 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Stock Option Plan for Executives
and Managers. Under the plan 145,500 shares were reserved for the grant of options. The Stock
Option Plan for Executives and Managers provides for grants to eligible participants of
nonqualified stock options only. The exercise price for any option awarded under the Plan is
required to be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date that the
option is granted. Options are granted by the Stock Option Committee of the Company. Options for
the 145,500 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company on April 2, 1999 at an
exercise price of $4.125. The plan provides that the options are exercisable after a waiting period
of 6 months and that each option expires 10 years after its date of issue.
At the Companys annual meeting on June 25, 1999 the shareholders approved the Key Employees Stock
Option Plan. This plan allows the granting of options covering 291,000 shares of stock and has
essentially the same provisions as the Stock Option Plan for Executives and Managers which was
discussed above. Options for 129,850 shares were granted to executives and managers of the Company
on January 7, 2000 at an exercise price of $3.00. Options for 11,500 shares were granted to
executives on April 27, 2001 at an exercise price of $.85. As of February 25, 2007 and May 20,
2007, options for a total of 150,000 shares were available for grant.
No options were granted during fiscal year 2007 and the twelve week period ended May 20, 2007. As
of February 25, 2007 and May 20, 2007 there were 124,000 options outstanding, fully vested and
exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $4.03 per share.

Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended May 20, 2007 were $22,650,000 compared to
$21,101,000 for the quarter ended May 21, 2006. This increase of $1,549,000 was due mainly to an
8.4% increase in comparable restaurant revenues. The increase in comparable restaurant revenues
was primarily the result of continuing effective product promotions by the franchisors during the
current year quarter including the Variety Big Box at KFC and the Steak Grilled Taquito at Taco
Bell.
Costs of Sales Food, Paper and Beverages. Food, paper and beverage costs declined as a
percentage of revenue to 30.6% for the quarter ended May 20, 2007 compared to 31.5% for the quarter
ended May 21, 2006. The improvement in the current year quarter was primarily the result of
improved operating efficiencies due to higher average restaurant volumes.
Cost of Sales Labor and Benefits. Labor and benefits increased as a percentage of
revenue for the quarter ended May 20, 2007 to 26.7% compared to 26.0% for the year earlier quarter.
The increase was primarily due to increases in the minimum wage and slightly higher benefit costs.
Restaurant Operating Expenses. Restaurant operating expenses decreased slightly as a
percentage of revenue to 24.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 24.7% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of efficiencies generated from higher average
restaurant volumes.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $654,000 in the
quarter ended May 20, 2007 compared to $723,000 for the quarter ended May 21, 2006 primarily due to
significant amounts of fixed assets reaching the end of their useful lives and no longer being
depreciated.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to
$1,380,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $1,135,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007. This increase was caused by a variety of factors including salary increases and
personnel additions both at the corporate office and in field management, field operations bonuses
and increases in insurance rates.
Gain on Restaurant Assets. The Company experienced a gain on restaurant assets of $16,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to a gain of $6,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2007. These amounts were the result of deferred gains on a sale/leaseback location and reduction
of the reserve for disposal of a sub-leased property.
Operating Income. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased to
$2,069,000 or 9.1% of revenues compared to $1,903,000 or 9.0% of revenues for the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 primarily due to decreases in food, paper and beverage costs and restaurant operating
expenses, partially offset by increases in labor costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on bank debt decreased to $847,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008 from $919,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 due to lower debt balances during
the fiscal 2008 quarter.
8
Other Income. Other income increased to $44,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from
$23,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to revenue from
various sub-leased properties and increased earnings on cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased to $407,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $81,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The
provision for income taxes is recorded at the Companys projected annual effective tax rate. The
increase was primarily due to the Company having recognized during fiscal 2007 the benefits of its
remaining net operating loss carryforwards therefore requiring a provision for taxes in the current
year period which was offset by the use of net operating loss carryforwards in the prior year
period. This change did not affect the Companys cash balances or cashflow for the period as the
provision related to deferred taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash flow activity for the first twelve weeks of fiscal
2008 and fiscal 2007 is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash provided by
operating activities was $2,275,000 for the twelve weeks ended May 20, 2007 compared to $1,890,000
for the twelve weeks ended May 21, 2006. The increase in operating cash flow resulted primarily
from a decrease in the deferred tax asset and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
primarily caused by more favorable vendor payment terms. The Company paid scheduled long-term bank
and capitalized lease debt of $754,000 in the first twelve weeks of fiscal 2008 compared to
payments of $806,000 for the same period in fiscal 2007. Capital expenditures in the twelve weeks
ended May 20, 2007 were $735,000, compared to $362,000 for the same period in fiscal 2007.
The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage loans and the maintenance of
individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. Fixed charge coverage ratios are calculated by dividing the cash flow
before rent and debt service for the previous 12 months by the debt service and rent due in the
coming 12 months. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed quarterly. At the
end of fiscal 2007 and as of the quarter ended May 20, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.2. However, at the end of fiscal 2007 and as of the
quarter ended May 20, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with the individual fixed charge
coverage ratio on certain of its restaurant properties and has obtained waivers of these
violations.
New Accounting Pronouncements. Effective February 26, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation
48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not
(i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon
examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount
of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Upon adoption, we determined that the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on prior
financial statements and therefore no change was made to the opening balance of retained earnings.
FIN 48 also requires that changes in judgment that result in subsequent recognition, derecognition
or change in a measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related
interest and penalties) be recognized as a discrete item in the period in which the change occurs.
This change will not impact the manner in which we record income taxes on an annual basis and did
not significantly impact our recorded income tax provision in the quarter ended May 20, 2007.
It is the Companys policy to include any penalties and interest related to income taxes in its
income tax provision, however, the Company currently has no penalties or interest related to income
taxes. The earliest year that the Company is subject to examination is the fiscal year ended
February 29, 2004.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157
apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the year beginning
March 1, 2008 for the Company. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 159 to determine
any impact for the Company.
Seasonality. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal fluctuations.
Historically, the Companys revenues and income have been highest during the summer months with the
fourth fiscal quarter representing the slowest period. This seasonality is primarily attributable
to weather conditions in the Companys marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York.

Safe Harbor Statements. This document contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements include those identified by such words as may,
will, expect anticipate, believe, plan and other similar terminology. The
forward-looking statements reflect the Companys current expectations and are based upon data
available at the time of the statements. Actual results involve risks and uncertainties, including
both those specific to the Company and general economic and industry factors. Factors specific to
the Company include, but are not limited to, its debt covenant compliance, actions that lenders may
take with respect to any debt covenant violations, its ability to obtain waivers of any debt
covenant violations and its ability to pay all of its current and long-term obligations.
Economic and industry risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited, to, franchisor
promotions, business and economic conditions, legislation and governmental regulation, competition,
success of operating initiatives and advertising and promotional efforts, volatility of commodity
costs and increases in minimum wage and other operating costs, availability and cost of land and
construction, consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Companys existing borrowings are at fixed interest rates, and accordingly the Company does not
have market risk exposure for fluctuations in interest rates. The Company does not enter into
derivative financial investments for trading or speculation purposes. Also, the Company is subject
to volatility in food costs as a result of market risk and we manage that risk through the use of
longer term purchasing contracts. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing
is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. The Company believes
that its market risk exposure is not material to the Companys financial position, liquidity or
results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated as of the date of the
financial statements. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded that as of May 20, 2007 the Company maintained
effective internal controls over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the
consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material
respects the Companys financial condition as of May 20, 2007 and February 25, 2007 and the results
of operations and cash flows for the quarters ended May 20, 2007 and May 21, 2006.
PART
II OTHER INFORMATION

adverse affect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
