                                    Summary
   
The following summary contains basic information about Domino's, Inc. and this
offer. It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You
should read this entire prospectus, including the financial data and related
notes, and the documents to which we have referred you before making an
investment decision. The terms "the Company," "Domino's," "we," "our," and
"us," as used in this prospectus refer to Domino's, Inc. and its subsidiaries
as a combined entity, except where it is clear that such terms mean only
Domino's, Inc. The term "TISM" refers to our parent TISM, Inc. All references
to "system-wide" sales in this prospectus mean the net retail sales of our
corporate-owned and franchise stores. Unless otherwise indicated, all
information set forth in this prospectus is as of January 3, 1999.     
 
                                Company Overview
 
Domino's is the leading pizza delivery company in the United States. We operate
through a world-wide network of over 6,200 franchise and corporate-owned stores
which generated system-wide sales of $3.2 billion for the fiscal year ended
January 3, 1999. System-wide sales by our domestic franchise and corporate-
owned stores accounted for approximately 30% of the United States pizza
delivery market in 1997. This market leadership position was nearly one and a
half times the market share of our nearest competitor.
   
Domino's offers a focused menu of high quality, value-priced pizza with three
types of crust, including Hand-Tossed, Thin Crust and Deep Dish. We also offer
buffalo wings, cheesy bread and bread sticks. Our original pizza is made from
fresh dough produced in our regional distribution centers. We prepare every
pizza using real mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce made from fresh tomatoes and a
choice of high quality meat and vegetable toppings in generous portions. Our
focused menu and use of premium ingredients enables us to consistently and
efficiently produce high quality pizza.     
   
Over the 38 years since our founding, we have developed a simple, cost-
efficient model. In addition to offering a limited menu, our stores are
designed for delivery and do not offer eat-in service. As a result, our stores
require relatively small, low rent locations and limited capital expenditures.
Our simple operating model helps to ensure consistent, quality product and to
reduce store expenses and capital commitments.     
 
The Domino's brand is widely recognized and identified by consumers in the
United States as the leader in pizza delivery. We have built this successful
brand image and recognition through extensive national and local television,
print and direct mail campaigns. Over the past four years, Domino's and its
franchisees have invested an estimated $750 million on national, cooperative
and local advertising in the United States. The Domino's brand name is one of
Ad Age's "100 Megabrands," a list which includes other prominent brands such as
Coke(R), Campbell's(R), Kodak(R) and Wrigley(R).
   
Domino's operates through three business segments:     
          
  .  Domestic Stores, consisting of:     
 
    .  Corporate, which operates our domestic network of 642 corporate-owned
       stores;
 
    .  Franchise, which oversees our domestic network of 3,847 franchise
       stores;
 
  .  Distribution, which operates our eighteen regional distribution centers
     and one equipment distribution center that sell food, equipment and
     supplies to our domestic corporate-owned and franchise stores and
     equipment to international stores; and
 
  .  International, which oversees our network of 1,730 franchise stores in
     64 international and off-shore markets, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
     Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, and distributes food to stores
     in Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 30 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Ann
Arbor, MI 48106 (Telephone: 734-930-3030).

                              Recent Developments
          
Thomas Monaghan founded Domino's in 1960. Prior to the recapitalization
described below, Mr. Monaghan and certain members of his immediate family
directly or indirectly owned all of the outstanding capital stock of TISM.
Domino's historically was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Domino's
Pizza, Inc. During December, 1998 and prior to the recapitalization, Domino's
Pizza distributed its ownership interest in Domino's to TISM, the current
parent corporation of Domino's. TISM then contributed its ownership interest in
Domino's Pizza, which had been a wholly owned subsidiary of TISM, to Domino's,
effectively converting Domino's from a subsidiary of Domino's Pizza into
Domino's Pizza's parent.     
   
On December 21, 1998, investors, including funds associated with Bain Capital,
Chase Equity Associates, L.P., CIBC WG Argosy Merchant Fund 2, LLC, Caravelle
Investment Fund, LLC and J.P. Morgan Capital, and management acquired a
controlling interest in Domino's through a series of transactions, including a
merger of a special purpose corporation organized by Bain Capital into TISM.
Specifically:     
     
  .  these investors invested $229.7 million to acquire common stock of TISM,
     which represented approximately 93% of its outstanding common stock
     immediately following the recapitalization, and $101.1 million to
     acquire cumulative preferred stock of TISM; and     
     
  .  the prior stockholders of TISM retained a portion of their voting common
     stock in TISM equal to $17.5 million, or approximately 7% of the
     outstanding common stock of TISM immediately following the
     recapitalization, and in the merger received $903.2 million for their
     remaining common stock and TISM contingent notes payable for up to an
     aggregate of $15 million in certain circumstances upon the sale or
     transfer to non-affiliates by the Bain Capital funds of more than 50% of
     their initial common stock ownership in TISM.     
   
The merger was structured to be accounted for as a recapitalization. You should
refer to the information in "Principal Stockholders" for a description of the
beneficial ownership of the outstanding voting securities of TISM after the
recapitalization.     
 
The recapitalization and related expenses were financed in part through the
sale of the equity securities and the retention of the common stock discussed
above. The remaining financing was obtained through:
     
  .  borrowings under our new senior credit facilities in the aggregate
     principal amount of $447.1 million, consisting of $445 million in term
     loans and $2.1 million of our revolving credit facility, which permits
     borrowings of up to $100 million, and     
     
  .  the sale of the notes.     
   
In connection with the sale of the notes, we agreed to register the exchange
notes under the Securities Act and offer them in exchange for the notes.     
                                  
                               Bain Capital     
   
Bain Capital, Inc., the financial sponsor of the recapitalization, is one of
the most experienced and successful private equity investors in the United
States. Bain Capital's principals have extensive experience working with
companies on a wide range of strategic and operational challenges across many
industries. Their investment strategy is to seek to acquire businesses in
partnership with exceptional management teams and improve the long-term value
of those businesses. The firm typically seeks to identify companies with strong
strategic positions and significant opportunities for growth. Bain Capital
manages more than $4 billion of capital and has invested in more than 120
companies. Examples of prior investments include Staples, Sealy Mattress Co.,
The Sports Authority, The Learning Company, Brookstone and totes/Isotoner.

Accrued Interest on the Exchange
 Notes and the Outstanding Notes...
                                        
                                     Each exchange note will bear interest
                                     from its issuance date. The holders of
                                     notes that are accepted for exchange will
                                     receive, in cash, accrued interest on
                                     such notes to, but not including, the
                                     issuance date of the exchange notes. Such
                                     interest will be paid with the first
                                     interest payment on the exchange notes.
                                     Interest on the notes accepted for
                                     exchange will cease to accrue upon
                                     issuance of the exchange notes.

                                     notes will receive the same interest

                                     first interest payment date with respect
                                     to the outstanding notes and the exchange

Issuer.............................  Domino's, Inc.
 
Securities Offered.................  $275,000,000 in aggregate principal
                                     amount of 10 3/8% Series B Senior
                                     Subordinated Notes due 2009.
 
Maturity...........................  January 15, 2009.
 
Interest...........................  Annual fixed rate of 10 3/8%, payable
                                     every six months, beginning July 15,
                                     1999.
 
Subsidiary Guarantors..............     
                                     Each of our domestic subsidiaries will,
                                     jointly and severally, unconditionally
                                     guarantee on a senior subordinated basis
                                     our obligations under the exchange notes.
                                     Our foreign subsidiaries are not
                                     guarantors of the exchange notes. If we
                                     cannot make payments on the exchange
                                     notes when they are due, our guarantor
                                     subsidiaries must make them instead.     
 
Ranking............................     
                                     The exchange notes and the subsidiary
                                     guarantees are senior subordinated debts.
                                     They rank behind substantially all
                                     current and future indebtedness of
                                     Domino's and its guarantor subsidiaries,
                                     except for trade payables and
                                     indebtedness that expressly provides that
                                     it is not senior to the exchange notes
                                     and the subsidiary guarantees. They also
                                     effectively rank behind all current and
                                     future indebtedness of our foreign
                                     subsidiaries. As of January 3, 1999, the
                                     exchange notes and the subsidiary
                                     guarantees would have been subordinated
                                     to $446.7 million of senior debt.     
 
Optional Redemption................     
                                     We may redeem some or all of the exchange
                                     notes at any time after January 15, 2004,
                                     at the redemption prices listed in the
                                     section entitled "Description of Exchange
                                     Notes" under the heading "Optional
                                     Redemption."     
                                        
                                     Before January 15, 2002, we may redeem up
                                     to 35% of the exchange notes with the
                                     proceeds of certain offerings of equity
                                     of Domino's or TISM at the price listed
                                     in the section entitled "Description of
                                     Exchange Notes" under the heading
                                     "Optional Redemption."     
                                        
                                     In addition, before January 15, 2004, if
                                     we experience specific kinds of changes
                                     in control, we may also redeem all, but
                                     not part, of the exchange notes at the
                                     redemption prices listed in the section
                                     entitled "Description of Exchange Notes"
                                     under the heading "Optional Redemption."

Mandatory Offer to Repurchase......     
                                     If we sell certain assets or experience
                                     specific kinds of changes of control, we
                                     must offer to repurchase the exchange
                                     notes at the price listed in the section
                                     entitled "Description of Exchange Notes."
                                     It is possible, however, that we will not
                                     have sufficient funds at the time of the
                                     change of control to make the required
                                     repurchase of the exchange notes or that
                                     restrictions in our senior credit
                                     facilities will not allow such
                                     repurchases. See the caption under "Risk
                                     Factors" entitled "We may not have the
                                     ability to raise the funds necessary to
                                     finance the change of control offer
                                     required by our indenture."     
                                     
Basic Covenants of Indenture.......  We will issue the exchange notes under
                                     the indenture with IBJ Whitehall Bank &
                                     Trust Company. The indenture restricts,
                                     among other things, our ability and the
                                     ability of our subsidiaries to:     
 
                                       .borrow money;
 
                                       . pay dividends on, redeem or
                                         repurchase our capital stock;
 
                                       .make investments;
 
                                       .use assets as security in other
                                       transactions; and
 
                                       . sell certain assets or merge with or
                                         into other companies.
                                        
                                     These covenants are subject to important
                                     exceptions and qualifications which are
                                     described in the section entitled
                                     "Description of Exchange Notes" under the

          Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data
   
Set forth below are summary historical and pro forma consolidated financial
data of Domino's at the dates and for the periods indicated. The summary
historical consolidated statements of income data for the fiscal years ended
December 29, 1996, December 28, 1997 and January 3, 1999 and the summary
historical balance sheet data as of December 28, 1997 and January 3, 1999 were
derived from historical financial statements that were audited by Arthur
Andersen LLP, whose report appears elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary
historical balance sheet data as of December 29, 1996 was derived from
unaudited consolidated financial statements which, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The
summary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data set forth below give
effect, in the manner described under "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Financial Data" and the notes thereto, to the recapitalization as if it
occurred on December 29, 1997. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements
of income do not purport to represent what our results of operations would have
been if the recapitalization had occurred as of the date indicated or what such
results will be for future periods. The information presented below should be
read in conjunction with, and is qualified by reference to, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
"Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data," "Selected Historical
Consolidated Financial Data" and the audited consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our
fiscal year generally consists of thirteen four-week periods and ends on the
Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 1998 included 53 weeks and ended on
January 3, 1999.

     Notes to Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data
          
(a) Subsequent to December 1996, Domino's elected to be an "S" Corporation for
   federal income tax purposes. Domino's reverted to "C" Corporation status on
   December 21, 1998. On a pro forma basis, had Domino's been a "C" Corporation
   throughout this period, income tax expense would have been higher by the
   following amounts: (1) fiscal year ended December 28, 1997--$18 million; and
   (2) fiscal year ended January 3, 1999--$18.9 million.     
   
(b) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
   amortization, and loss on sale of assets (net). EBITDA is presented because
   we believe it is frequently used by security analysts in the evaluation of
   companies and is an important financial measure in our indenture and credit
   agreements. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to
   cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an
   alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or
   any other measure of performance in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles.     
   
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Historical EBITDA to Pro
Forma EBITDA:

                                  Risk Factors
   
You should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other
information set forth in this prospectus before making an investment in the
exchange notes.     
   
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and
severely limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.
In addition, we are permitted to incur substantially more debt in the future,
which could aggravate these risks.     
   
To finance the recapitalization, we have incurred a significant amount of
indebtedness, including the notes. As of January 3, 1999, our consolidated
indebtedness was $728.1 million, of which $446.7 million was senior
indebtedness. After giving pro forma effect to the recapitalization as if it
had been completed on December 29, 1997, our debt service obligations and ratio
of earnings to fixed charges for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999 would
have been approximately $68.7 million and 1.0. Further, the terms of the
indenture permit us to incur substantial indebtedness in the future, including
up to an additional $98.3 million under our new revolving credit facility.     
   
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For
example:     
     
  .it could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with
  respect to the exchange notes;     
     
  .it could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
  industry conditions;     
     
  .  it will require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
     from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
     availability of our cash flow for other purposes;     
     
  .  it will limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
     in our business and the industry in which we operate, thereby placing us
     at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have
     less debt;     
     
  .  it will limit, by the financial and other restrictive covenants in the
     exchange notes and the outstanding notes, together with those in the
     senior credit facilities, among other things, our ability to borrow
     additional funds; and     
     
  .  it will have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with
     the covenants in the exchange notes, the outstanding notes and senior
     credit facilities, because such failure could result in an event of
     default which, if not cured or waived, could result in a substantial
     amount of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable.     
   
If we incur additional indebtedness, the risks that we now face could increase.
See "Description of Senior Credit Facilities" and "Description of Exchange
Notes."     
   
We may not generate the significant amount of cash needed to service our
indebtedness as our ability to generate cash depends on many factors that are
beyond our control.     
   
There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our debt service
obligations, including our obligations under the exchange notes. Our ability to
make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the exchange
notes, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Based on
our current level of operations and anticipated cost savings and operating
improvements, we believe our cash flow from operations and available borrowings
under our new revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity
needs over the next several years.     
   
We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash
flow from operations, that currently anticipated cost savings and operating
improvements will be realized on schedule, in the amounts projected or at all,
or that future borrowings will be available to us under our new revolving
credit facility in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness,
including the exchange notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we
cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations or borrow sufficient funds
under our new revolving credit facility to make scheduled payments on the
exchange notes in the future, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our
indebtedness, including the exchange notes, on or before maturity, sell assets,
delay capital expenditures, or seek additional equity. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the
exchange notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all or that any other
action can be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all. If we fail to
refinance our indebtedness or successfully take such other action when cash
flow from operations or other alternative sources are insufficient for us to
make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, such failure would likely lead to
an event of default under the terms of our indebtedness, including the exchange
notes and senior credit facilities, which, if not cured or waived, could result
in a substantial amount of indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable.

Your right to receive payments on the exchange notes will be junior to our
existing indebtedness and possibly all of our future borrowings. The guarantees
of the exchange notes will also be junior to all of our and our subsidiary
guarantors' existing indebtedness and possibly to all of our and their future
borrowings.     
   
The exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees rank behind substantially all
of our and our subsidiary guarantors' existing indebtedness and all of our and
their future borrowings, except for trade payables and any future indebtedness
that expressly provides that it ranks equal with, or is subordinated in right
of payment to, the exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees. Further, any
notes that are not exchanged will rank equal with the exchange notes. As a
result, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of our
subsidiary guarantors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar
proceeding relating to us or our subsidiaries or our or their property, the
holders of our and our subsidiary guarantors' senior debt will be entitled to
be paid in full in cash before any payment may be made with respect to the
exchange notes or the subsidiary guarantees. As of January 3, 1999, the
exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees would have been subordinated to
approximately $446.7 million of senior debt. Up to $98.3 million was available
for borrowing as additional senior debt under our new revolving credit
facility. All payments on the exchange notes and the guarantees will be blocked
in the event of a payment default on our or our subsidiary guarantors' senior
debt and may be blocked for up to 179 of 360 consecutive days in the event of
certain non-payment defaults on such senior debt.     
   
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar
proceeding relating to us or our subsidiary guarantors, the holders of the
exchange notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of
subordinated indebtedness of us and of our subsidiary guarantors in the assets
remaining after we and the subsidiary guarantors have paid all of the senior
debt. Because the indenture requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders
of the exchange notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders
of senior debt instead, holders of the exchange notes may receive less,
ratably, than holders of trade payables in any such proceeding. In any of these
cases, we and our subsidiary guarantors may not have sufficient assets or funds
to pay all of our creditors and holders of exchange notes may receive less,
ratably, than the holders of senior debt.     
   
Our foreign subsidiaries will not guarantee the exchange notes. In the event of
a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor
subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will be
entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries
before any assets are made available for distribution to us. The non-guarantor
subsidiaries generated less than 1% of our consolidated revenues for the fiscal
year ended January 3, 1999 and held less than 1% of our consolidated assets as
of January 3, 1999.     
   
The exchange notes will not be secured by any of our assets or those of our
subsidiaries. We have granted a security interest to the senior credit
facilities lenders in all of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and
in 65% of the capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries, as well as in all of
our tangible and intangible assets and those of our domestic subsidiaries. If
we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if the senior credit facilities
lenders accelerate payment under any of the senior credit facilities, they will
have a prior claim with respect to these assets.     
 
The pizza delivery market is highly competitive, and increased competition
could adversely affect our operating results.
 
We believe we compete on the basis of product quality, delivery time, service
and price. We compete in the United States against three national chains, Pizza
Hut, Papa John's and, to a lesser extent, Little Caesar's, along with regional
and local concerns. Although we believe we are well positioned to compete
because of our leading market position, focus and expertise in the pizza
delivery business 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 operating results.
 
We also compete on a broader scale with other international, national, regional
and local restaurants and quick-service eating establishments. No reasonable
estimate can be made of the number of competitors on this scale. The overall
food service industry and the quick service eating establishment segment are
intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience
and concept, and are often affected by changes in: consumer tastes; national,
regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations to the extent
international operations are involved; demographic trends; and disposable
purchasing power. We compete within the food service industry and the quick
service eating establishment segment not only for customers, but also for
management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites and qualified
franchisees.
 
 
                                       14

We do not have written contracts with most of our suppliers, and as a result
they could seek to significantly increase prices or fail to deliver as
required.
   
We have historically had long-lasting relationships with our suppliers. More
than half of our major suppliers have been with us for over 14 years. As a
result, we typically rely on oral rather than written contracts with our
suppliers. In the case of cheese, where we have only one supplier, we have a
written agreement. Although we have not experienced significant problems with
our suppliers, there can be no assurance that our suppliers will not implement
significant price increases or that suppliers will meet our requirements in a
timely fashion, if at all. Although we believe there are other cheese suppliers
which could satisfy our requirement for cheese, there can be no assurance that
we would be able to purchase from these suppliers on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all. Failure to obtain timely supply at reasonable prices could
have a material adverse effect on our operating results.     
 
Increases in food, labor and other costs could adversely affect our
profitability and operating results.
 
An increase in our operating costs could adversely affect our profitability.
Factors such as inflation, increased food costs, increased labor and employee
benefit costs and the availability of qualified management and hourly employees
may adversely affect our operating costs. Most of the factors affecting costs
are beyond our control. Most products used in our pizza, particularly cheese,
are subject to price fluctuations, seasonality, weather, demand and other
factors. Labor costs are primarily a function of minimum wage and availability
of labor. Cheese and labor costs of a typical store represent 9.0% and 30.2% of
store sales, although we only bear such costs at our corporate-owned stores.
 
If we fail to successfully implement our growth strategy, our ability to
increase our revenues and operating profit could be adversely affected.
 
We have grown rapidly in recent periods. We intend to continue our growth
strategy primarily by increasing the number of our domestic and international
stores. We and our franchisees face many challenges in opening new stores,
including, among others:
 
  .  selection and availability of suitable store locations;
 
  .  negotiation of acceptable lease or financing terms;
 
  .  securing of required domestic or foreign governmental permits and
     approvals; and
 
  .  employment and training of qualified personnel.
 
The opening of additional franchises also depends, in part, upon the
availability of prospective franchisees who meet our criteria. Our failure to
add a significant number of new stores would adversely effect our ability to
increase revenue and operating income. In addition, although we have
successfully tested the Delivery Express concept, we have not yet opened a
significant number of Delivery Express stores and cannot predict with certainty
the success of the concept on a widespread basis.
          
A third party has filed a patent infringement claim against us relating to the
Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag. If this claim is determined adversely to us, we may
have to cease using the HeatWave Hot Bag or pay license fees for our past and
future use, which could adversely affect our business results.     
   
We have been sued by parties who assert that the heat retention cores inside
the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag infringe a patent they own. We have a license
from another party that gives us exclusive marketing, sales, use and
distribution rights in the pizza delivery market to the heat retention cores
inside the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag. In addition to damages, the plaintiffs
are seeking an injunction to enjoin the manufacture, sale or use of the heat
retention cores inside the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag. Although we intend to
vigorously defend against the claim, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of
the claim. If it is determined adversely to us, we may have to cease using the
HeatWave Hot Bag or pay license fees for our past and future use, which could
adversely affect our business results.

<PAGE>
 
       
          
Our business depends on retention of our current senior executives and key
personnel and the success of our new chief executive officer.     
   
Our success will continue to depend to a significant extent on our executive
team and other key management personnel. We have entered into employment
agreements with certain of our executive officers. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or
attract additional qualified management. In connection with the completion of
the recapitalization, Mr. Monaghan, our founder and chief executive officer,
retired and became a director. Mr. Brandon has recently joined us as our new
Chief Executive Officer. Although we are pleased to have him assume this role,
we cannot assure you of his success.     
   
Our ability to take major corporate actions is limited by the TISM stockholders
agreement. The TISM stockholders may have interests that differ from the
holders of the exchange notes.     
   
In connection with the recapitalization, all of the stockholders of TISM
entered into a stockholders agreement that provides, among other things, that
the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting stock of TISM subject
to the stockholders agreement will be required for TISM or its subsidiaries,
including Domino's, to take various specified actions, including among others,
major corporate transactions such as a sale or initial public offering,
acquisitions and divestitures, financings, recapitalizations and mergers, as
well as other actions such as hiring and firing senior managers, setting
management compensation and establishing capital and operating budgets and
business plans. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement and the Articles of
Incorporation of TISM, the Bain Capital funds will have the power to block any
such transaction or action and to elect up to half of the Board of Directors of
TISM. The Bain Capital funds may have different interests as equity holders
than those of holders of the exchange notes. See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions."     
 
Our business may be adversely affected if our critical computer systems, or
those of our suppliers and vendors, do not properly handle date information in
Year 2000.
   
Upon completion of the implementation of certain new financial and distribution
supply chain systems, we believe that all of our critical internal information
systems will operate correctly with regard to the import, export, and
processing of date information, including correct handling of leap years, in
connection with the change in the calendar year from 1999 to 2000. We
anticipate the financial systems implementation will be complete no later than
October 31, 1999. The implementation of our new distribution supply chain
systems is currently underway. We are also in the process of a remediation
effort on our legacy supply chain systems to render them Year 2000 compliant.
We anticipate the effort to bring legacy supply chain systems into compliance
with Year 2000 will be completed no later than October 31, 1999. We believe the
completion of this remediation effort will mitigate the risk associated with
not completing the new distribution supply chain implementation prior to
December 31, 1999. We also plan to inventory and address other less critical
equipment and machinery, such as facility equipment, that may contain embedded
technology with Year 2000 compliance problems. We expect to complete this
effort no later than September 30, 1999. We also have material relationships
with franchisees, suppliers and vendors that may not have adequately addressed
the Year 2000 issue with respect to their equipment or information systems.
Although we are attempting to assess the extent of their compliance efforts, we
have received written assurances from only a portion of this group and,
accordingly, cannot determine the risk to our business. In the event that we
are unable to complete planned upgrades, implement replacements systems or
otherwise resolve Year 2000 compliance problems prior to December 31, 1999 or
in the event our franchisees or a significant number of our suppliers and
vendors do not adequately address the Year 2000 issue before such date, we may
experience significant disruption or delays in our operations, which in turn
could have a material adverse effect on our business.     
 
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change
of control offer required by our indenture.
   
Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control events, we
must offer to repurchase all outstanding exchange notes. It is possible,
however, that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of
control to make the required repurchase of the exchange notes or that
restrictions in our senior credit facilities will not allow such repurchases.
In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged
recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not
constitute a change of control under the indenture. See "Repurchase at the
Option of Holders" under the heading "Description of Exchange Notes."     
   
The occurrence of certain of the events that would constitute a change of
control under the indenture would also constitute a default under the senior
credit facilities. Our senior indebtedness and the senior indebtedness of our
subsidiaries may also contain prohibitions of certain events that would
constitute a change of control. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of the
exchange notes of their right to require us to repurchase the exchange notes
could cause a default under such senior     
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
   
indebtedness, even if the change of control itself does not, due to the
financial effect on us of such repurchase. The terms of the senior credit
facilities will, and other senior debt may, prohibit the prepayment of the
exchange notes by us prior to their scheduled maturity. Consequently, if we are
not able to prepay the indebtedness under the senior credit facilities and any
other senior indebtedness containing similar restrictions, we will be unable to
fulfill our repurchase obligations if holders of the exchange notes exercise
their repurchase rights following a change of control, thereby resulting in a
default under the indenture.     
   
Federal and state statutes would allow courts, if they made specific
determinations about our financial condition, to render the exchange notes and
the guarantees unenforceable and to require the holders of such exchange notes
to return payments received from us or our subsidiary guarantors.     
   
Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent
transfer laws, the exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees may be
unenforceable, or claims in respect of the exchange notes or the subsidiary
guarantees could be subordinated to all other debts of us or any subsidiary
guarantor, if, among other things, Domino's or any of its subsidiary
guarantors, at the time the indebtedness evidenced by the exchange notes or the
guarantee was incurred:     
 
  .  received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for
     the incurrence of such indebtedness;
 
  .  was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
 
  .  was engaged in a business or transaction for which we or such
     guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
 
  .  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its
     ability to pay such debts as they mature.
   
In addition, any payment by Domino's or a subsidiary guarantor pursuant to the
exchange notes or any subsidiary guarantee could be voided and required to be
returned to Domino's or such subsidiary guarantor or to a fund for the benefit
of the creditors of Domino's or such subsidiary guarantor.     
 
The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will
vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a
fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, we or a subsidiary
guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
 
  .  the sum of our or such subsidiary guarantor's debts, including
     contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all
     of our or such subsidiary's assets;
 
  .  the present fair saleable value of our or such subsidiary guarantor's
     assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay our or
     such subsidiary guarantor's probable liability on existing debts,
     including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
 
  .  we or any subsidiary guarantor could not pay debts as they become due.
 
Based on historical financial information, recent operating history and other
factors, neither Domino's nor any of its subsidiary guarantors believes that,
after giving effect to the indebtedness incurred in connection with the
recapitalization, it was insolvent, had unreasonably small capital for the
business in which it is engaged or had incurred debts beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature. There can be no assurance, however, as to what
standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court
would agree with Domino's or its subsidiary guarantors' conclusions in this
regard.
   
We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the exchange notes will
develop.     
   
The exchange notes are new securities for which there currently is no market.
Although J.P. Morgan & Co. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the initial purchasers of
the outstanding notes, have informed us that they intend to make a market in
the exchange notes, they are not obligated to do so and any such market making
may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the exchange
notes. The exchange notes are expected to be eligible for trading by qualified
buyers in the PORTAL market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the
exchange notes on any securities exchange or for quotation through The Nasdaq
National Market.     
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
 
   
In addition, the liquidity of, and trading market for, the exchange notes also
may be adversely affected by general declines in the market for similar
securities. Such a decline may adversely affect such liquidity and trading
markets independent of our financial performance and prospects.     
   
Your ability to resell your notes will remain restricted if you fail to
exchange them in this offer.     
   
Untendered outstanding notes that are not exchanged for the registered exchange
notes pursuant to this offer will remain restricted securities, subject to the
following restrictions on transfer:     
     
  .  the notes may be resold only if registered pursuant to the Securities
     Act or if an exemption from registration is available;     
     
  .  the notes will bear a legend restricting transfer in the absence of
     registration or an exemption; and     
     
  .  a holder of the notes who wants to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
     any part of its notes under an exemption from registration under the
     Securities Act, if requested by us, must deliver to us an opinion of
     independent counsel experienced in Securities Act matters, reasonably
     satisfactory in form and substance to us, stating that such exemption is
     available.

                                Use of Proceeds
   
There will be no proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes.     
   
We used gross proceeds of $275 million from the sale of the outstanding notes
and $447.1 million of borrowings under the senior credit facilities to:     
   
(1) repay $49.9 million of our existing indebtedness and accrued liabilities,
including $40.3 million under our existing revolving credit facility, which had
a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and which was due on November 24,
2003;     
   
(2) pay $50 million in connection with a non-compete agreement with Thomas S.
Monaghan; and     
   
(3) pay approximately $49.8 million in fees and expenses related to the
recapitalization.     
   
We paid out the remainder of the proceeds to TISM. TISM used these proceeds,
together with gross proceeds of $330.8 million from the investment in the
common stock and cumulative preferred stock of TISM, to redeem a portion of the
capital stock of TISM in connection with the recapitalization for an aggregate
of $903.2 million. See "Summary--Sources and Uses" for additional detail on the
use of the proceeds received from the issuance of the outstanding notes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data are based on the historical
consolidated financial statements of Domino's and adjustments described in the
accompanying notes. See Notes to "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
Sheet."     
   
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 1999 gives effect to the recapitalization as if it
had occurred on December 29, 1997. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
available data and certain assumptions that our management believes are
reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income does not
purport to represent what our results of operations would have been if the
recapitalization had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results
will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" and the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

         Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income
 
                       Fiscal Year ended January 3, 1999
 
(a) Our fiscal year ended January 3, 1999 and consisted of fifty-three weeks.
 
(b) Reflects the elimination of income and expenses related to the following
    transactions between related parties and reflects the accounting on an
    ongoing basis.
     
  Domino's Farms Office Park (DFOP)--In connection with the recapitalization,
  Domino's entered into a five-year lease agreement with DFOP for warehouse
  and office space occupied by Domino's (approximately 185,000 feet).
  Historically, Domino's leased the entire complex (approximately 520,000
  square feet) from DFOP and subleased unused space to third parties. This
  adjustment reflects the exclusion of general and administrative expenses
  related to DFOP which historically were borne by us and are now being
  replaced by the lease agreement.     
     
  Mater Christi Foundation--Reflects the elimination of discretionary
  charitable contributions made at the direction of the former principal
  stockholder of TISM to the Mater Christi Foundation, a charitable
  organization founded and managed by the former principal stockholder of
  TISM which will not be part of the ongoing operations, in addition to
  certain expenses incurred by us on behalf of the Foundation. Domino's is
  under no obligation and does not intend to establish a similar foundation.
         
  CEO Retirement--Reflects the net effect of the retirement of the former
  chief executive officer of Domino's ($3,396), who was also the principal
  stockholder of TISM from its inception through the completion of the
  recapitalization, and the estimated base compensation for a new chief
  executive officer ($600).     
     
  Domino's Farms Land Development Limited Partnership (DFLD)--Reflects the
  elimination of equity income and rent expense related to the investment in
  DFLD by Domino's. The DFLD investment was distributed to the former
  principal stockholder of TISM in December 1998 and, accordingly, will not
  be part of the ongoing operations of Domino's. DFLD owns various properties
  in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the surrounding area. Historically, Domino's
  leased various parcels of land from DFLD even though such properties were
  non-income producing.     
     
  Advisory Boards--Reflects the elimination of the estimated net effect of
  the termination of the finance and marketing advisory boards ($229) and the
  estimated costs necessary to compensate a new board of directors ($50).
         
  Food Distribution Center Acquisitions--Reflects the elimination of
  historical rent expense associated with two distribution centers that were
  purchased by Domino's in August, 1998 from the former principal stockholder
  of TISM and members of his family. This adjustment also records
  depreciation expense to reflect the costs of owning the purchased
  distribution center facilities.     
 
  The following table summarizes the impact on income from operations of the
  elimination of transactions between related parties:

                       Fiscal Year ended January 3, 1999
 
(c) In anticipation of the recapitalization, management instituted the
    following formal program:
 
  Store Rationalization Program--Reflects the elimination of net sales, cost
  of goods sold and general and administrative expenses related to the store
  rationalization program introduced in July, 1998. These adjustments reflect
  the impact of the store rationalization program as if it were fully
  implemented on December 29, 1997. The store rationalization program
  involved the sale of 103 corporate-owned stores to franchisees and the
  closure of 39 additional corporate-owned stores. As of January 3, 1999, the
  entire program had been completed. The impact of the sale of corporate-
  owned stores to franchisees will result in ongoing royalties at the
  standard franchise rate from the new franchisees where previously
  corporate-owned store revenues and the related costs of operations were
  recorded.
 
 
  The following table summarizes the impact on income from operations of the
  store rationalization program:

            Notes to Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data
          
(a) Subsequent to December 1996, Domino's elected to be an "S" Corporation for
    federal income tax purposes. Domino's reverted to "C" Corporation status on
    December 21, 1998. On a pro forma basis, had Domino's been a "C"
    Corporation throughout this period, income tax expense would have been
    higher by the following amounts: (1) fiscal year ended December 28, 1997 --
     $18 million; and (2) fiscal year ended January 3, 1999 -- $18.9 million.
           
(b) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
    amortization and loss on sale of assets (net). EBITDA is presented because
    we believe it is frequently used by security analysts in the evaluation of
    companies and is an important financial measure in our indenture and credit
    agreements. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to
    cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an
    alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or
    any other measure of performance in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles.

    costs and the portion of operating rental expense which management believes
    is representative of the interest component of rent expense.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
   
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations relates substantially to periods prior to completion of the
recapitalization. As a result of the recapitalization, Domino's entered into
financing arrangements and, therefore, has a different capital structure.
Accordingly, the results of operations for periods subsequent to the
consummation of the recapitalization will not necessarily be comparable to
prior periods. See "Recent Developments," "Capitalization," "Description of
Senior Credit Facilities," "Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data,"
"Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data," and the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.
    
Overview
 
Domino's is the leading pizza delivery company in the United States. We operate
through a world-wide network of over 6,200 franchise and corporate-owned
stores. Our Distribution division's eighteen regional food distribution centers
and one equipment distribution center supply food, store equipment and supplies
to corporate-owned and domestic franchise stores and equipment to international
stores.
 
Year Ended January 3, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 28, 1997
 
Revenues
General. Revenues include sales by corporate-owned stores, royalty fees from
domestic and international franchises and sales by our Distribution
commissaries to domestic and international franchises. Total revenues increased
$132.0 million, or 12.6%, to $1,176.8 million for the year ended January 3,
1999 from $1,044.8 million for the year ended December 28, 1997. The increase
in total revenues is principally attributed to increases in domestic and
international same store sales, a net increase in the average number of
domestic and international stores and one additional week in the year ended
January 3, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 28, 1997.
   
Corporate. Revenues from Corporate Store operations increased $32.6 million, or
8.7%, to $409.4 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from $376.8 million
for the year ended December 28, 1997. The increase is principally attributed to
$22.6 million relating to a 6.0% increase in average store sales and $7.7
million relating to the additional week in the year ended January 3, 1999 as
compared to the year ended December 28, 1997. Same store sales for the year
ended January 3, 1999 increased 4.0% from the year ended December 28, 1997.
Ending corporate-owned stores, however, decreased by 125 to 642 as of January
3, 1999 from 767 as of December 28, 1997 as a result of significant store
rationalization program activity that occurred between September 1998 and
December 1998.     
   
Franchise. Revenues from Domestic Franchise operations are derived primarily
from royalty income. Revenues from Franchise operations increased $9.8 million,
or 9.6%, to $112.2 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from
$102.4 million for the year ended December 28, 1997. This increase in revenues
is attributable primarily to $4.1 million relating to a 4.3% increase in
average store sales, $2.7 million related to an increase in the average number
of franchise stores and $1.9 million relating to the additional week in the
year ended January 3, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 28, 1997.
Same store sales for the year ended January 3, 1999 increased 4.6% from the
year ended December 28, 1997. Ending franchise stores increased by 183 to 3,847
as of January 3, 1999 from 3,664 as of December 28, 1997.     
   
Distribution. Revenues from Domestic Distribution operations are derived
primarily from the sale of food, equipment and supplies to domestic franchise
stores and, to a lesser extent, the sale of equipment to international stores,
and excludes sales to corporate-owned stores. Revenues from Distribution
operations increased $86.0 million, or 16.8%, to $599.1 million for the year
ended January 3, 1999 from $513.1 million for the year ended December 28, 1997.
The increase in revenues is principally due to $36 million related to the
increase in franchise stores sales noted above, $44.7 million associated with
an increase in cheese prices, and $8 million from an increase in equipment and
supply sales to franchisees to roll out the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag
technology in Spring 1998, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in
Distribution's profit sharing, profit capitation and volume discount programs
which are netted against revenues.     
 
International. Revenues from International operations, which are derived mainly
from food sales to international franchises, master franchise agreement
royalties and, to a lesser extent, franchise and development fees, increased
$3.5 million, or 6.7%, to $56.0 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from
$52.5 million for the year ended December 28,
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
 
   
1997. The increase was partially driven by $3.1 million relating to the 12.6%
increase in international franchise royalty revenues that was caused by an
increase in the ending number of international franchise stores to 1,730 at
January 3, 1999 from 1,520 at December 28, 1997, partially offset by a $1.2
million decrease relating to a decrease in average store sales caused by
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in Asian
markets and Mexico. On a constant dollar basis, same store sales for the year
ended January 3, 1999 increased 3.4% from the year ended December 28, 1997.
Sales of commissary products to international franchisees increased $1.1
million, or 3.3%, to $34.2 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from
$33.1 million for the year ended December 28, 1997.     
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $31.2 million, or 10.9%, to $318.4 million
for the year ended January 3, 1999 from $287.2 million for the year ended
December 28, 1997. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in
revenues. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased 0.4% to 27.1% for
the year ended January 3, 1999 from 27.5% for the year ended December 28, 1997.
This decrease resulted primarily from lower margin distribution revenues
growing faster than revenues of other divisions and higher Corporate operations
costs due to increases in the price of cheese and the minimum wage, partially
offset by a $6.7 million credit to insurance expense due to a reduction in the
actuarial calculation of our required insurance reserves.
   
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of regional support offices, corporate administrative functions,
corporate store and distribution facility management costs and advertising and
promotional expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $25.9
million, or 11.7%, to $248.1 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from
$222.2 million for the year ended December 28, 1997. This increase is due
primarily to a $12.1 million increase in incentive compensation to certain
executives in connection with the recapitalization and an increase in costs
that coincide with increased business volume, including $9.9 million relating
to administrative and corporate store manager compensation, $3.7 million
relating to computer expenses, and $2 million associated with advertising and
professional service fees, partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in
bad debt expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 21.1% for the year ended January 3, 1999 compared to
21.3% for the year ended December 28, 1997, due primarily to economies of scale
created by an increase in overall business volume and the decrease in bad debt
expenses, partially offset by the recapitalization incentive compensation.     
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 77.5%, to $7.1
million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from $4 million for the year ended
December 28, 1997 primarily as a result of a December 1998 increase in debt to
fund the recapitalization.
   
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. The provision (benefit) for income taxes
decreased to a benefit of $12.9 million for the year ended January 3, 1999 from
a provision of $0.4 million for the year ended December 28, 1997 driven
primarily by establishment of a $27.9 million deferred tax asset upon the
conversion of Domino's to "C" Corporation status from "S" Corporation status
for federal income tax reporting purposes partially offset by the establishment
of $10.0 million of tax reserves during 1998 as compared to the release of tax
reserves of $7.4 million in 1997.     
 
Net Income. Net income increased $15.8 million, or 25.9%, to $76.9 million for
the year ended January 3, 1999 from $61.1 million for the year ended December
28, 1997. This increase was due primarily to the factors described above.
 
Year Ended December 28, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 29, 1996
 
Revenues.
General. Total revenues increased $74.9 million, or 7.7%, to $1,044.8 million
for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $969.9 for the year ended December
29, 1996.
   
Corporate. Revenues from Corporate Store operations increased $40.2 million, or
11.9%, to $376.8 million for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $336.6
million for the year ended December 29, 1996. The increase is principally
attributed to $20.7 million relating to a 6.2% increase in average store sales
and $19.5 million relating to an increase in the average number of corporate
stores. Same store sales for the year ended December 28, 1997 increased 4.5%
from the year ended December 29, 1996. Ending corporate-owned stores increased
by 63 to 767 as of December 28, 1997 from 704 as of December 29, 1996.     
   
Franchise. Revenues from Domestic Franchise operations increased $9 million, or
9.6%, to $102.4 million for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $93.4 million
for the year ended December 29, 1996. The increase in revenues is     
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
 
   
primarily attributed to $6.1 million relating to a 6.9% increase in average
store sales and $1.1 million relating to an increase in the average number of
franchise stores. Same store sales for the year ended December 28, 1997
increased 7.3% from the year ended December 29, 1996. Ending franchise stores
increased by 52 to 3,664 as of December 28, 1997 from 3,612 as of December 29,
1996.     
   
Distribution. Revenues from Domestic Distribution operations increased $18.9
million, or 3.8%, to $513.1 million for the year ended December 28, 1997 from
$494.2 million for the year ended December 29, 1996. The increase in revenues
is principally attributed to $24.8 million from the increase in franchise store
sales noted above and $12.4 million related to an increase in equipment and
supply sales to franchisees, partially offset by a $9.2 million decrease
relating to a decrease in cheese prices during the year ended December 28, 1997
and a $9.4 million increase in profit sharing, profit capitation and volume
discount programs which are netted against revenues.     
   
International. Revenues from International operations increased $6.7 million,
or 14.6%, to $52.5 million for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $45.8
million for the year ended December 29, 1996. The increase was partially driven
by $3 million associated with a 16.6% increase in international franchise
royalty revenues that was caused by an increase in the ending number of
international franchise stores to 1,520 at December 28, 1997 from 1,250 at
December 29, 1996 and a $4.8 million increase in commissary sales, partially
offset by a slight decrease in average store sales caused by unfavorable
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in Japan and Mexico, and
a $.5 million decrease associated with a decrease in the overall effective
royalty rate due to discounted royalties programs intended to stimulate
franchise store growth. On a constant dollar basis, same store sales for the
year ended December 28, 1997 increased 11.1% from the year ended December 29,
1996.     
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $34.5 million, or 13.7%, to $287.2 million
for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $252.7 million for the year ended
December 29, 1996. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in
revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit increased 1.4% to 27.5%
for the year ended December 28, 1997 from 26.1% for the year ended December 29,
1996. This increase resulted primarily from decreases in insurance costs and
the price of cheese and lower margin distribution revenues growing at a slower
rate than revenues of other divisions, partially offset by an increase in the
minimum wage.
   
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses
increased $26.0 million, or 13.3%, to $222.2 million for the year ended
December 28, 1997 from $196.2 million for the year ended December 29, 1996.
This increase was due primarily to cost increases that coincide with increased
business volume, including $9.2 million of administrative and corporate store
manager compensation, $10.6 million of expenses relating to advertising and
promotional activities, travel, litigation costs, charitable contributions,
awards and incentives, research and development and professional service fees.
As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased
to 21.3% for the year ended December 28, 1997 compared to 20.2% for the year
ended December 29, 1996, due primarily to: (1) an increase in Corporate and
Franchise revenues as a percentage of total revenues which demonstrate
relatively higher general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues than our other divisions; (2) the increase in litigation costs; and
(3) the increase in charitable contributions.     
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 36.5%, to $4
million for the year ended December 28, 1997 from $6.3 million for the year
ended December 29, 1996 as a result of decreased average debt levels.
 
Net Income. Net income increased $41.4 million, or 210.2%, to $61.1 million for
the year ended December 28, 1997 from $19.7 million for the year ended December
29, 1996. This increase was due primarily to the factors described above and a
$30.5 million decrease in our provision for income taxes to $0.4 million for
the year ended December 28, 1997 from $30.9 million for the year ended December
29, 1996, due mainly to our "S" Corporation election effective December 30,
1996. Also due to our "S" Corporation election, we recorded an $8.2 million
charge to provision for income taxes in 1996 to fully reserve against our
remaining deferred tax asset.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Historical
   
We had a negative working capital amount of $18.2 million at January 3, 1999
and a negative working capital amount of $25.0 million at December 28, 1997. We
have generally had negative working capital because our receivable collection
periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on
our current liabilities. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal,
which further limits our working capital requirements.     
 
                                       29

Net cash provided by operating activities was $64.3 million, $73.1 million and
$53.2 million for the years ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997 and
December 29, 1996, respectively. The decrease in cash flows from operations for
the year ended January 3, 1999 was primarily due to the impact of a $27.6
million benefit for deferred federal income taxes, partially offset by an
increase in net income. The improvement in cash flows from operating activities
for the year ended December 28, 1997 was primarily attributable to an increase
in net income, partially offset by a net increase in working capital that
resulted from a $10.2  million increase in the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag
inventories in anticipation of the domestic roll-out of that product to
franchisees in early 1998.
 
Net cash used in investing activities consists primarily of capital
expenditures and investments in marketable securities, partially offset by
proceeds from asset sales and collections on notes receivable from franchisees.
Net cash used in investing activities was $38.8 million, $46.5 million and
$15.0 million for the years ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997 and
December 29, 1996, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing
activities for the year ended January 3, 1999 is primarily attributable to
increased proceeds from asset sales that resulted from our store
rationalization program and liquidation of our investments in marketable
securities that had been placed in trusts to fund our executive and managerial
deferred compensation plans, which were terminated in December 1998, partially
offset by an increase in capital expenditures. The increase in cash used in
investing activities for the year ended December 28, 1997 was primarily
attributable to an increase in capital expenditures.
   
Capital expenditures were $50.0 million, $45.4 million and $19.9 million for
the years ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996,
respectively. The higher capital expenditures for the years ended January 3,
1999 and December 28, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 29, 1996 were
primarily attributable to significant acquisitions of franchise stores and
commissary businesses, spending related to store refurbishments and the
Domino's 2000 reimaging and relocation program and purchase and development
costs associated with our new financial and supply chain systems. Capital
expenditures for the year ended January 3, 1999 included $10.5 million of
development costs for our financial and supply chain systems, $10.1 million for
store refurbishments and the Domino's 2000 reimaging and relocation program,
$4.2 million for the acquisition of distribution centers in Georgia and
Northern California and $2.6 million to implement the Domino's HeatWave Hot
Bags in corporate-owned stores. Capital expenditures for the year ended
December 28, 1997 included $13.8 million for acquisitions of franchise store
and commissary businesses, primarily in the Salt Lake City, Utah and Arlington,
Texas areas, $8.8 million for store refurbishments and the Domino's 2000
reimaging and relocation program and $3.3 million for purchase and development
of our financial and supply chain systems modules. Capital expenditures for the
year ended December 29, 1996 included $3.5 million for store refurbishments and
the Domino's 2000 reimaging and relocation program and $4.4 million for
acquisitions of franchise store and commissary businesses.     
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $25.6 million, $26.5 million and
$40.4 million for the years ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997 and
December 29, 1996, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the
year ended January 3, 1999 included borrowings of $722.1 million to provide
funding for transactions pursuant to the recapitalization, which primarily
included $629.8 million of shareholder distributions pursuant to the
recapitalization, retirement of $39.9 million of debt under our previous credit
facilities and payment of $43.3 million of deferred financing costs. Also
included in cash used in financing activities for the year ended January 3,
1999 was $36.2 million in distributions to pay our stockholders' "S"
Corporation income taxes for both the year ended December 28, 1997 and a
portion of the year ended January 3, 1999. Net cash used in financing
activities for the years ended December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996 was
comprised mainly of net repayment of long-term debt.
 
After the Recapitalization
Following the recapitalization, our primary sources of liquidity continue to be
cash flow from operations and borrowings under our new revolving credit
facility. We expect that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital
expenditures will be funded from these sources.
   
We incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the recapitalization.
As of January 3, 1999, we had $728.1 million of indebtedness outstanding as
compared to $46.3 million of indebtedness outstanding immediately prior to the
recapitalization. In addition, we have a stockholders' deficit of $483.8
million as of January 3, 1999, as compared to stockholders' equity of $41.8
million immediately prior to the recapitalization. Our significant debt service
obligations following the recapitalization could, under certain circumstances,
have material consequences to our security holders, including holders of the
exchange notes. See "Risk Factors."     
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
 
   
Concurrent with the recapitalization, we issued the notes and entered into the
senior credit facilities. The term loan facilities provide for multiple tranche
term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $445 million. The revolving
credit facility provides revolving loans in an aggregate amount of up to $100
million. Upon closing of the recapitalization, we borrowed the full amount
available under the term loan facilities and approximately $2.1 million under
the revolving credit facility. As of January 3, 1999, borrowings under the
revolving credit facility were $1.7 million and letters of credit issued under
that facility were $10.8 million. The borrowings under the revolving credit
facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Amortization on the term
loans begins on December 31, 1999. The tranche A facility matures in quarterly
installments from March 31, 2000 through 2004. The tranche B facility matures
in quarterly installments from December 31, 1999 through 2006. The tranche C
facility matures in quarterly installments from December 31, 1999 through 2007.
See "Description of Senior Credit Facilities."     
   
We recently implemented a store reimaging and relocation campaign called
Domino's 2000. The reimaging program involves a variety of store improvements
including upgrading store interiors, adding new signage to draw attention to
the store and providing contemporary uniforms for our employees. We believe
that the average per store capital expenditures for the reimaging campaign will
not exceed $30,000. The cost of relocating a corporate store is not expected to
exceed an average of $160,000 per store. Domino's will incur these capital
expenditures on a discretionary basis and only with respect to its corporate-
owned stores. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded from internally
generated cash flows and by borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
    
Effective February 1, 1999, we terminated the Distribution profit capitation
program. Under this program, our Distribution division had rebated to
participating franchisees all Distribution pre-tax profits in excess of 2% of
gross revenues from sales to corporate-owned and domestic franchise stores. In
addition, at the beginning of fiscal year 1999 corporate-owned stores began
participating in the profit sharing program of our Distribution division. This
profit sharing plan was recently amended to increase rebates to participating
stores from approximately 45% to approximately 50% of their regional
distribution center's pre-tax profits. Although corporate-owned stores had the
right to participate in the program, historically only domestic franchise
stores participated. We agreed that the aggregate funds available for rebate to
participating franchisees in 1999 under the profit sharing plan would be at
least $1 million more than the aggregate payments made to franchisees under the
profit sharing and profit capitation programs in fiscal year 1998. We agreed to
pay any deficiency to participating franchisees on a pro rata basis.
   
Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe
that cash generated from operations and amounts available under the revolving
credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt services
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next
several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be
available under the senior credit facilities or otherwise to enable us to
service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facilities and the notes,
to redeem or refinance the cumulative preferred stock when required or to make
anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our
ability to service or refinance the notes and to service, extend or refinance
the senior credit facilities will be subject to future economic conditions and
to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
    
Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that our results of operations are not dependent upon moderate
changes in the inflation rate. Inflation and changing prices did not have a
material impact on our operations in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Severe increases in
inflation, however, could affect the global and United States economy and could
have an impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
   
We have recently either replaced or upgraded a majority of our core information
systems, including the franchise royalties system, franchise legal system,
information warehouse system and ULTRA store system, which is the point-of-sale
and operating system for corporate-owned stores. In addition, we are in the
process of implementing a full suite of financial and distribution supply chain
systems. We anticipate the financial systems implementation will be complete no
later than October 31, 1999. The implementation of our new distribution supply
chain systems is currently underway. We are also in the process of a
remediation effort on our legacy supply chain systems to render them Year 2000
compliant. We anticipate the effort to bring legacy supply chain systems into
compliance with Year 2000 will be completed no later than October 31, 1999. We
believe the completion of this remediation effort will mitigate the risk
associated with not completing the new distribution supply chain implementation
prior to December 31, 1999. Upon completion of this project and/or relevant
Year 2000     
 
                                       31

remediation efforts, we believe that all of our critical internal information
systems will operate correctly with regard to the import, export, and
processing of date information, including correct handling of leap years, in
connection with the change in the calendar year from 1999 to 2000. Each of
these upgrades were part of our budgeted expenses for upgrading our computer
infrastructure and were not primarily undertaken or accelerated because of the
Year 2000 issue. We have, however, complemented our system upgrades with an
internal compliance team responsible for testing all of our information systems
for Year 2000 compliance.     
          
We are also planning to inventory and address other less critical equipment and
machinery, such as facility equipment, that may contain embedded technology
with Year 2000 compliance problems. We expect to complete this effort no later
than September 30, 1999. We also have material relationships with franchisees,
suppliers and vendors and other significant entities, such as public utilities,
that may not have adequately addressed the Year 2000 issue with respect to
their equipment or information systems. Although we are attempting to assess
the extent of their compliance efforts, we have received written assurances
from only a portion of this group and, accordingly, cannot determine the risk
to our business.     
   
For the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999, we spent approximately $256,000
addressing the Year 2000 issue. For the year ending January 2, 2000, we
estimate we will spend approximately $520,000 addressing the Year 2000 issue.
These amounts do not reflect the cost of our internal compliance team or the
cost of planned replacement systems, such as the financial and distribution
supply chain system software, which may have a positive impact on resolving the
Year 2000 issue. We do not expect that additional costs required to address the
Year 2000 issue will have a significant impact on our business or operating
results. In the event, however, that we are unable to complete planned
upgrades, implement replacement systems or otherwise resolve Year 2000
compliance problems prior to December 31, 1999, or in the event our franchisees
or a significant number of our suppliers and vendors do not adequately address
the Year 2000 issue before such date, we may experience significant disruption
or delays in our operations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect
on our business.     
   
At this time, we are still assessing the likely worst case scenario that may
result from any significant disruptions or delays in our operations due to Year
2000 compliance issues associated with (1) our critical internal information
systems, (2) other less critical facility equipment or machinery, or (3) a
significant number of our franchisees, suppliers and vendors. We expect to
complete this analysis within the next several months. Further, except as
mentioned above, we have no contingency plans in place to address Year 2000
problems. We plan to evaluate the status of our Year 2000 compliance efforts at
the end of June, 1999 to determine whether such contingency plans are
necessary.     
 
Changes in Accounting Principles
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
requires financial and descriptive information about an enterprise's reportable
operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about
which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. As required, we adopted this statement in the fiscal
year ended January 3, 1999. This adoption did not affect our results of
operations or financial position but did affect the disclosure of segment
information.
 
FASB has also issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. We have not determined the reporting
impact, if any, of the adoption of this statement.
   
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities", which
requires entities to expense the costs of start-up activities, including
organizational costs, when incurred. The Company is required to adopt this
Statement in fiscal year 1999. The adoption of this SOP will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements or its operations.

                                    Business
 
General
 
Domino's is the leading pizza delivery company in the United States. We operate
through a world-wide network of over 6,200 franchise and corporate-owned stores
which generated system-wide sales of $3.2 billion for the fiscal year ended
January 3, 1999. System-wide sales by our domestic franchise and corporate-
owned stores accounted for approximately 30% of the United States pizza
delivery market in 1997. This market leadership position was nearly one and a
half times the market share of our nearest competitor.
   
Domino's offers a focused menu of high quality, value-priced pizza with three
types of crust, including Hand-Tossed, Thin Crust and Deep Dish. We also offer
buffalo wings, cheesy bread and bread sticks. Our original pizza is made from
fresh dough produced in our regional distribution centers. We prepare every
pizza using real mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce made from fresh tomatoes and a
choice of high quality meat and vegetable toppings in generous portions. Our
focused menu and use of premium ingredients enables us to consistently and
efficiently produce high quality pizza.     
   
Over the 38 years since our founding, we have developed a simple, cost-
efficient model. In addition to offering a limited menu, our stores are
designed for delivery and do not offer eat-in service. As a result, our stores
require relatively small, low rent locations and limited capital expenditures.
Our simple operating model helps to ensure consistent, quality product and to
reduce store expenses and capital commitments.     
 
The Domino's brand is widely recognized and identified by consumers in the
United States as the leader in pizza delivery. We have built this successful
brand image and recognition through extensive national and local television,
print and direct mail campaigns. Over the past four years, Domino's and its
franchisees have invested an estimated $750 million on national, cooperative
and local advertising in the United States. The Domino's brand name is one of
Ad Age's "100 Megabrands," a list which includes other prominent brands such as
Coke(R), Campbell's(R), Kodak(R) and Wrigley(R).
   
Domino's operates through three business segments:     
     
  .  Domestic Stores, consisting of:     
       
    .  Corporate, which operates our domestic network of 642 corporate-owned
       stores;
 
    .  Franchise, which oversees our domestic network of 3,847 franchise
       stores;
 
  .  Distribution, which operates our eighteen regional distribution centers
     and one equipment distribution center that sell food, equipment and
     supplies to our domestic corporate-owned and franchise stores and
     equipment to international stores; and
 
  .  International, which oversees our network of 1,730 franchise stores in
     64 international and off-shore markets, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
     Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, and distributes food to stores
     in Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.
 
Industry Overview
 
The United States pizza market had sales of approximately $20.5 billion in
1997. This market has three segments: eat-in, carry-out and delivery. We focus
on the delivery segment, which accounted for approximately $5.9 billion or 29%
of the total United States pizza market in 1997. Pizza delivery has been the
fastest growing segment of this market, with compound annual growth of 8.2%
between 1995 and 1997, as compared to 4.1% for the eat-in segment and 4.3% for
the carry-out segment over the same period.
 
Domestic pizza delivery sales have not only grown quickly, but have also shown
stable growth. From 1988 through 1997, pizza delivery sales in the United
States grew at a compound annual rate of 6.2%. Even in the recessionary period
during 1990 and 1991, pizza delivery sales in the United States continued to
grow at an annual compound rate of 2.5%.
 
We believe that growth and stability in the pizza delivery market will persist
as a result of several continuing demographic factors. In particular, we
believe that longer work schedules and the prevalence of dual career families
have led to rapid growth in the demand for delivered food. We believe that
delivered pizza is well positioned to capitalize on these trends as other food
products have difficulty matching pizza's value, consistency and timeliness of
delivery.

Competitive Strengths
 
Leading Market Position. Domino's is the leading pizza delivery company in the
United States. System-wide sales by our corporate-owned and domestic franchise
stores accounted for approximately 30% of the United States pizza delivery
market in 1997. This market leadership position represented nearly one and a
half times the market share of our nearest competitor. Through our world-wide
network of over 6,200 franchise and corporate-owned stores, we deliver
consistent, high quality pizza to consumers across the contiguous United States
and in 64 international and off-shore markets, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. Our leadership position and geographic
presence provide significant cost and marketing advantages relative to smaller
delivery competitors.
 
Strong Brand Equity. Our brand name is widely recognized by consumers in the
United States as the leader in pizza delivery. Over the past four years,
Domino's and its franchisees have invested an estimated $750 million on
national, cooperative and local advertising in the United States. The strength
of our brand is reflected in its selection as one of Ad Age's "100 Megabrands,"
a list which includes other prominent brands such as Coke(R), Campbell's(R),
Kodak(R) and Wrigley(R). We continue to reinforce the strength of our brand
name recognition with extensive advertising through national and local
television, print and direct mail. Our strong brand name in pizza delivery
provides significant marketing strength.
 
Focused and Cost-efficient Operating System. We have focused on pizza delivery
since our founding in 1960. Over this time, we have developed a simple, cost-
efficient operating system for producing a streamlined menu offering. Our
limited menu, efficient food production process and extensive employee training
program allow us to produce our pizza in approximately ten minutes. The
simplicity and efficiency of our store operations gives us significant
advantages over competitors that also participate significantly in the carry-
out or eat-in segments of the pizza market and, as a result, have more complex
operations. Consequently, we believe these competitors have a difficult time
matching Domino's value, quality and consistency in the delivery segment.
   
Limited Capital Requirements. We have limited capital expenditure and working
capital requirements. Our capital expenditures are minimal because we focus on
delivery and because our franchisees fund all capital expenditures for their
stores. Since our stores do not offer eat-in service, they do not require
expensive locations, are relatively small, ranging from 1,000 to 1,200 square
feet, and are inexpensive to build and furnish as compared to other fast food
establishments. A new Domino's store typically requires only $125,000 to
$175,000 in initial capital and minimal annual maintenance, far less than
typical establishments of many of our major competitors. Because over 85% of
our domestic stores are franchised, our share of system-wide capital
expenditures is small. In addition, Domino's requires minimal working capital
as we collect approximately 98% of our royalties from domestic franchisees
within three weeks of when the royalty is generated and achieve more than 50
inventory turns per year in our regional distribution centers. We believe these
minimal working capital requirements are advantageous for funding our continued
growth.     
   
Strong Franchise Relationships. We believe our strong relationships with
franchisees are a critical component of our success. We support our franchisees
by providing the training, infrastructure and financial incentives that have
resulted in very low failure rates. We employ an owner-operator model that
results in our franchisees owning an average of three stores, considerably
fewer than most franchise models. We also believe that our franchise owners
enjoy some of the most attractive economics within the fast food industry. The
average payback on a new franchise store investment is less than three years.
Our strong cooperation with our franchisees is demonstrated by an over 96%
voluntary participation rate in our U.S. distribution system and an
approximately 90% franchisee participation in co-operative advertising
programs. Because we experience a contract renewal rate of over 99% and
currently maintain a list of over 120 pending or approved new franchise
applications, we believe our franchise system will continue to be a stable and
growing component of our business.     
   
Efficient National Distribution System. We operate a nationwide network of
eighteen regional distribution centers. Each is generally located within a 300-
mile radius of the stores it serves. Our distribution system takes advantage of
volume purchasing of food and supplies, and provides consistency and
efficiencies of scale in food production. We serve all corporate-owned stores
and over 96% of our domestic franchise stores. We have an on-time accuracy rate
of over 98%, which means that our first delivery of an order is made within 48
hours of receipt of the order and is complete and of satisfactory quality. Our
low-cost distribution system allows our store managers to focus on food
production and customer service.     
   
Experienced Management Team. Domino's is managed by an experienced team that
averages nearly 13 years of service with Domino's. Domino's founder, Thomas
Monaghan, recruited and promoted this team in the mid-1990s. This team
possesses strong leadership skills in marketing, corporate, franchise,
international, distribution, and finance and has driven our strong financial
performance over the past four years. In connection with the recapitalization
of TISM by Bain Capital, Thomas Monaghan retired as Chief Executive Officer and
now serves as a director of TISM and Domino's. David Brandon has recently
joined us as our new Chief Executive Officer.

Business Strategy
 
Our business strategy has been to grow revenues and profitability by focusing
on prompt delivery of high quality product, operational excellence and brand
recognition through strong promotional advertising. This strategy has resulted
in our leading market position and track record of profitable growth. We intend
to achieve further growth and strengthen our competitive position through the
continued implementation of this strategy and the following initiatives:
 
Capitalize on Strong Industry Dynamics. We believe that the pizza delivery
market will continue to show strong growth and stability as a result of several
positive demographic trends. These trends include more dual career families,
longer work weeks and increased consumer emphasis on convenience. In addition,
we believe that the low cost and high value of pizza will support continued
industry growth even during an economic slowdown. Domino's is well positioned
to take advantage of these dynamics, given our market leadership position,
strong brand name and cost-efficient operating model.
 
Leverage Market Leadership Position and High Brand Awareness. Domino's is the
leading pizza delivery company in the United States. System-wide sales by our
corporate-owned and domestic franchise stores accounted for approximately 30%
of the United States pizza delivery market in 1997. This market leadership
position represented nearly one and a half times the market share of our
nearest competitor. Our market leadership position and strong brand give us
significant marketing strength relative to our smaller competitors. We believe
strong brand recognition is important in the pizza delivery industry because
consumer decisions are strongly influenced by brand awareness. We intend to
continue investments that promote our brand name and enhance our recognition as
the pizza delivery leader.
   
Improve Corporate Store Profitability. Historically, the profitability of a
typical corporate-owned store has lagged the profitability of a typical
franchise store. We have implemented programs to increase the profitability of
our corporate-owned stores:     
 
  .  Corporate Store Rationalization. We sold to franchisees or closed 142 of
     our under-performing corporate-owned stores prior to December 31, 1998.
     
  .  Corporate Store Labor Reductions. We reduced the labor costs at our
     corporate-owned stores by improving shift schedules, adjusting incentive
     programs and minimizing overtime.     
     
  .  Distribution Profit Sharing. In early 1999, corporate-owned stores began
     participating in the profit sharing program of our Distribution
     division. Although corporate-owned stores had the right to participate
     in the program, historically only domestic franchise stores
     participated.     
 
Expand Store Base. We plan to continue expanding our base of traditional
domestic stores, increase our network of international stores and enter new
markets with non-traditional stores. From 1995 to 1998, we increased our
domestic store base by approximately 1.9% per year. We plan to grow our
traditional domestic store base primarily by franchising new stores to existing
franchisees. We also believe that a significant opportunity exists to open new
franchise stores in under-penetrated international markets. We have also
successfully tested a new venue concept for non-traditional stores called
Domino's Delivery Express which provide both delivery and carry-out services
from locations in convenience stores and are designed for lightly populated
markets.
 
Operations
 
General. We believe our operating model is differentiated from other pizza
competitors that are not focused primarily on the delivery business. Our
business model has certain competitive advantages, including production-
oriented store design, efficient and consistent operational processes,
strategic location to minimize delivery time, favorable store economics and a
focused menu. We have also identified a number of cost reduction opportunities
to enhance profitability at our corporate-owned stores.
 
Production-Oriented Store Design. Our typical store is small, occupying
approximately 1,000 to 1,200 square feet, and is designed with a focus on
efficient and timely production of consistent, high-quality pizza for delivery.
Our stores are production facilities and, accordingly, do not have an eat-in
section.
 
                                       35

Efficient Processes. Each store executes an operational process which includes
order taking, pizza preparation, cooking (via automated, conveyor-driven
ovens), boxing, and delivery. The entire pizza production process is designed
for completion in less than ten minutes to allow sufficient time for safe
delivery within 25 to 30 minutes of ordering. This simple and focused
operational process has been achieved through years of continuous improvement,
resulting in a high level of efficiency.
 
Strategic Store Locations. We locate our stores strategically to facilitate
quality delivery service to our customers. The majority of our stores are
located in urban areas, suburban areas adjacent to large or mid-size cities, or
on or near college campuses or military bases. The majority of our stores serve
from 5,000 to 15,000 addresses. In order to facilitate expansion into smaller
markets, we have recently developed Delivery Express outlets, which provide
both delivery and carry-out from internal locations at convenience stores and
are designed for markets that are lightly populated.
   
Favorable Store Economics. Because our stores do not offer eat-in service or
rely heavily on carry-out, the stores typically do not require expensive real
estate, are relatively small, and are inexpensive to build-out and furnish as
compared to other fast food establishments. A new Domino's store typically
requires only $125,000 to $175,000 in initial capital, far less than typical
establishments of many of our major competitors. Our stores also benefit from
lower maintenance costs as store assets are long-lived and updates are not
frequently required.     
 
Focused Menu. We maintain a focused menu that is designed to present an
attractive, high quality offering to customers, while expediting delivery and
avoiding unnecessary errors in the order process. The menu has three simple
components: pizza size, pizza type and pizza toppings. Most stores carry two
sizes of traditional Hand-Tossed, Deep Dish and Thin Crust pizza. The typical
store also offers bread sticks, cheesy bread and buffalo wings. We believe that
our focused menu creates a strong identity among consumers, improves operating
efficiency and maintains food quality and consistency.
 
Divisional Overview
   
Corporate. Our network of corporate-owned stores plays an important strategic
role in our predominately franchised system. We utilize our corporate-owned
stores as a forum for training new store managers and prospective franchisees,
and as a test site for new products and store operational improvements. We also
believe that our corporate-owned stores add economies of scale for advertising,
marketing and other fixed costs traditionally borne by franchisees. Corporate
is divided into three geographic regions and is managed through fifteen field
offices in the contiguous United States.     
   
Franchise. Our domestic franchisees own and operate a network of 3,847 stores
in the contiguous United States. Our domestic franchises are operated by highly
qualified entrepreneurs who own and operate an average of three stores. Our
principal sources of revenue from domestic franchise store operations are
royalty payments and, to a much lesser extent, fees for store openings and
transfers. Our domestic franchises are managed through five regional offices
located in Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Santa Ana, California; Linthicum,
Maryland; and Ann Arbor, Michigan. The regional offices provide training,
financial analysis, store development, store operational audits and marketing
strategy services for the franchisees. We maintain a close relationship and
direct link with the franchise stores through regional franchise executive
teams, an array of computer-based training materials that ensure franchise
stores operate in compliance with specified standards, and franchise advisory
groups that facilitate communications between us and our franchisees.     
 
Distribution. Distribution operates one equipment distribution center and
eighteen regional food distribution centers located throughout the United
States that order, receive, store and deliver uniform, high-quality pizza-
related supplies to both domestic franchise and corporate-owned stores. Each
regional food distribution center serves an average of 250 stores, generally
located within a 300-mile radius.
 
Distribution services all of the corporate-owned stores and over 96% of the
domestic franchise stores, even though we give our domestic franchisees the
option of satisfying their food and equipment needs through approved
independent suppliers. Distribution supplies products ranging from fresh dough
and basic food items to pizza boxes and cleaning supplies. Distribution drivers
also unload supplies and stock store shelves after hours, thereby minimizing
disruption of store operations during the day. We believe that franchisees
choose to obtain supplies from us because we provide the most efficient and
cost-effective alternative.
   
Our corporate-owned stores and nearly all of our eligible franchisees
participate in the profit sharing program of our Distribution division. We
believe these arrangements strengthen our ties with these franchisees, secure a
stable source of revenue and provide incentives for franchisees to work closely
with us to reduce costs. Corporate-owned stores and participating franchisees
collectively receive 50% of their regional distribution center's pre-tax
profits.     
 
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
 
Distribution's information systems are an integral part of its superior
customer service. Distribution employs routing strategies to reduce the
frequency of late deliveries, utilizing software to determine store routes on a
daily basis for optimal efficiency. Through our strategic distribution center
locations and proven routing systems, we have achieved on-time delivery rates
of over 98%. Our food distribution centers currently achieve inventory turns in
excess of 50 per year.
 
International. International oversees our network of over 1,730 stores in 64
international and off-shore markets, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. We have over 100 franchise stores in each of
Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan. The principal
sources of revenues from international operations are royalty payments by
franchisees, food sales to franchisees, and fees from master franchise
agreements and store openings.
 
We grant international franchises through master franchise agreements to well-
capitalized entities who have knowledge of the local market. These master
franchise agreements generally grant the franchisee exclusive rights to develop
or sub-franchise stores in a particular geographic area and contain growth
clauses requiring franchisees to open a minimum number of stores within a
specified period. We also seek to expand internationally by selectively
converting regional and local competitors' stores to Domino's franchises and
have completed such conversions successfully in Australia and the United
Kingdom.
 
Franchise Program
 
General. The success of our unique franchise formula, together with the
relatively low initial capital investment required to open a franchise store,
has enabled us to attract a large number of highly motivated entrepreneurs as
franchisees. We consider franchisees to be a vital part of our continued growth
and believe our relationships with franchisees are excellent. The franchise
program consists of a network of domestic and international franchise stores.
As of January 3, 1999, there were 1,308 franchisees operating 3,847 franchise
stores in the contiguous United States and 440 franchisees operating 1,730
stores in 64 international and off-shore markets, including Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.
 
Franchisee Selection. We maintain the strength of our franchise store base by
seeking franchisees who are willing to commit themselves full-time to operating
franchise stores and by applying rigorous standards to prospective franchisees.
Specifically, we require all prospective domestic franchisees to manage a store
for at least one year before being granted a franchise. This enables us to
observe the operational and financial performance of domestic franchisees prior
to entering into a long-term contract. We also restrict the ability of domestic
franchisees to become involved in outside business investments, which focuses
the franchisees on operating their franchise stores. We believe these standards
are unique to the franchise industry and result in highly qualified and focused
store operators, while helping to maintain the strength of the Domino's brand.
 
Standard Domestic Franchise Agreements. We enter into franchise agreements with
domestic franchisees under which the franchisee is granted the right to operate
a store for a term of ten years, with an option to renew for an additional ten
years. We are currently experiencing franchise renewal rates in excess of 99%.
Under the current standard franchise agreement, we assign an exclusive Area of
Primary Responsibility to each franchise store. During the term of the
franchise agreement, the franchisee is generally required to pay a 5.5% royalty
fee, subject in certain instances to lower rates based on area development
agreements, sales initiatives and new store incentives. The current standard
franchise agreement permits us to electronically debit the franchisee's bank
account for the payment of royalty fees and advertising contributions. We have
the contractual right, subject to state law, to terminate a franchise agreement
for a variety of reasons, including a franchisee's failure to make payments
when due or failure to adhere to specified policies and standards.
 
Standard International Franchise Agreements. We enter into master franchise
agreements with our international franchisees under which the master franchisee
may open and operate a franchise or enter into sub-franchise agreements for a
term of ten to twenty years, with an option to renew for an additional ten year
term. The master franchisee is required to pay an initial, one-time franchisee
fee, as well as a store franchise fee upon the opening of each store. These
fees vary by contract. In addition, the master franchisee is required to pay a
continuing royalty fee as a percentage of sales, which also varies.
 
Franchisee Store Development. We furnish each domestic franchisee with
assistance in selecting sites, developing stores and conforming to the physical
specifications for typical stores. Each domestic franchisee is responsible for
selecting the location for a store but must obtain approval for store design
and location based on accessibility and visibility of the site and targeted
demographic factors, including population density, income, age and traffic. We
provide design plans, fixtures and equipment for most franchisee locations at
competitive prices.
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
 
   
Franchisee Loan Programs. We have an established financing program to assist
domestic franchisees in opening stores. We generally provide financing of up to
$100,000 for the purpose of opening new stores to domestic franchisees who are
creditworthy and have adequate working capital. The franchisees may use the
funds to purchase equipment, supplies, store fixtures or leasehold
improvements, with the condition that store fixtures and leasehold improvements
cannot exceed $35,000. We have also historically financed the sale of corporate
stores to domestic franchisees and the implementation of new products and
programs, such as the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag. At January 3, 1999, loans
outstanding under the franchisee loan programs totaled $20.4 million.     
 
Franchise Training and Support. We consider training of our store managers and
employees to be a critical component of our success. We require all domestic
franchisees to complete initial and ongoing training programs that we provide.
In addition, under the current standard domestic franchise agreement, domestic
franchisees are required to implement training programs for their store
employees. We assist our franchisees by providing training services for store
managers and employees, including CD-ROM based training materials,
comprehensive operations manuals and franchise development classes.
 
Franchise Operations. We maintain strict control over franchise operations to
protect our brand name and image. All franchisees are required to operate their
stores in compliance with written policies, standards and specifications,
including matters such as menu items, ingredients, materials, supplies,
services, fixtures, furnishings, decor and signs. Each franchisee has full
discretion to determine the prices to be charged to its customers. We also
provide support to our franchisees, including training, marketing assistance
and consultation to franchisees who experience financial or operational
difficulties. We have established several advisory boards through which
franchisees can contribute to corporate level initiatives.
 
Domino's 2000 Campaign
   
We have implemented a reimaging and relocation campaign called Domino's 2000.
This reimaging program is aimed at increasing store sales through greater brand
awareness and involves a variety of store improvements, including upgrading
store interiors, adding new signage to draw attention to the store and
providing contemporary uniforms for employees. We believe that the average per
store capital expenditures for the reimaging campaign will not exceed $30,000.
The relocation program is also designed to increase store sales by choosing
store sites that are in more accessible locations. The cost of relocating a
corporate-owned store is not expected to exceed an average of $160,000 per
store. We will incur these capital expenditures on a discretionary basis and
only with respect to our corporate-owned stores.     
 
Marketing Operations
   
We coordinate the domestic advertising and marketing efforts at the national
and cooperative market levels. We require corporate-owned and domestic
franchise stores to contribute 3% of their net sales to fund national marketing
and advertising campaigns. The national advertising fund is used primarily to
purchase television advertising, but also supports market research, field
communications, commercial production, talent payments and other activities
supporting the brand. We can require stores to contribute a minimum of 1% of
net sales to cooperative media campaigns. Store contributions to cooperative
media campaigns currently average 2.4% of net sales in our top 40 markets.     
   
Our management estimates that corporate-owned and domestic franchise stores
also spend an additional 3% to 5% of their net sales on local store marketing,
including targeted database mailings, saturation print mailings to households
in a given area and community involvement through school and civic
organizations. The National Print Program offers subsidized print materials as
an incentive for franchisees to use the marketing material that we recommend,
helping ensure that our national advertising strategy is reflected at the local
level.     
 
By communicating common themes at the national, cooperative and local market
levels, we create a consistent marketing message to our customers. Over the
past four years, we estimate that we and our domestic franchisees have invested
over $750 million in system-wide advertising at the national, cooperative and
local levels.
 
We also create business plans for new or improved products, price promotions,
and tie-in events with leading brands. For example, we recently entered into a
partnership with General Mills, Inc. whereby coupons for Domino's pizza were
distributed on the back of Cheerios brand cereal packages. We estimate that at
least 20% of the coupon redemptions from this campaign came from new customers.
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
 
       
Suppliers
   
We believe that the length and quality of our relationships with suppliers
provides us with priority service at competitive prices. We have maintained
active relationships of over 14 years with more than half of our major
suppliers. As a result, we have typically relied on oral rather than written
contracts with our suppliers, except where we maintain only one supplier for a
product, such as cheese. In addition, we believe that two factors have been
critical to maintaining long- lasting relationships and keeping our purchasing
costs low. First, we are one of the largest volume purchasers of pizza-related
products such as flour, cheese, sauce, and pizza boxes, which enables us to
maximize leverage with our suppliers. Second, in four of our five key product
categories we generally retain active purchasing relationships with at least
three suppliers. These four key product categories include meats, dough and
parbaked shells, boxes and sauce. This purchasing strategy allows us to shift
purchases among suppliers based on quality, price and timeliness of delivery.
We maintain only one supplier for cheese, although we believe there are at
least three other national manufacturers, as well as several regional
manufacturers, capable of producing cheese for us. For the year ended January
3, 1999, no single supplier represented more than 10% of cost of sales, except
for our cheese supplier which accounted for 25.7% of cost of sales.     
 
Government Regulation
          
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the operation
of our business, as are our franchisees. Each store is subject to licensing and
regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include zoning,
health, safety, sanitation, building and fire agencies in the jurisdiction in
which the store is located. Difficulties in obtaining, or the failure to
obtain, required licenses or approvals can delay or prevent the opening of a
new store in a particular area. Our commissary and distribution facilities are
licensed and subject to regulation by federal, state and local health and fire
codes. Each store is also subject to federal and state laws governing such
matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime.
Some states have set minimum wage requirements higher than the federal level.
       
We are subject to the rules and regulations of the FTC and various state laws
regulating the offer and sale of franchises. The FTC requires that we furnish
to prospective franchisees a franchise offering circular containing prescribed
information. A number of states also regulate the sale of franchises and
require registration of the franchise offering circular with state authorities
and the delivery of the franchise offering circular to prospective franchisees.
We are operating under exemptions from registration in several states based on
our net worth and experience. 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
would provide for federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
The state laws often limit, among other things, the duration and scope of non-
competition provisions, the ability of a franchisor to terminate or refuse to
renew a franchise and the ability of a franchisor to designate sources of
supply.     
       
Internationally, our franchise stores are subject to national and local laws
and regulations which are similar to those affecting our domestic stores,
including laws and regulations concerning franchises, labor, health, sanitation
and safety. Our international franchise stores are also subject to tariffs and
regulations on imported commodities and equipment and laws regulating foreign
investment.
 
Trademarks
   
Domino's has several trademarks and service marks and believes that many of
these marks have significant value and are materially important to our
business. Our policy is to pursue registration of our important trademarks
whenever possible and to vigorously oppose the infringement of any of our
registered or unregistered trademarks.     
 
Facilities
   
We lease approximately 185,000 square feet for our executive offices, world
headquarters and Michigan Distribution Center located in Ann Arbor, Michigan
under an operating lease with Domino's Farms Office Park Limited Partnership
for a term of five years commencing December 21, 1998, with options to renew
for two five-year terms.     
   
We own facilities at fourteen corporate stores and five commissaries. We also
own and lease store facilities to seven domestic franchisees. There are no
mortgages on any of these facilities other than mortgages on the commissary
facilities granted in connection with our new senior credit facilities. All
other corporate-owned stores and facilities are leased by us, typically with
five-year leases with one or two five-year renewal options. All franchise
stores are leased directly by the franchisees and we are generally not a party
to the leases, except with respect to the seven facilities that we own and
lease to the franchisees.     
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
 
Employees
 
As of January 3, 1999, we had approximately 14,200 employees, excluding
employees of franchise-operated stores. Approximately 10,200 of this total are
store employees that work part-time and are employed on an hourly basis. None
of our domestic employees are represented by unions. We have not experienced
any labor problems resulting in a work stoppage and we believe we have good
relations with our employees.
 
Insurance
   
Through December 19, 1998, we self-insured our commercial general liability,
automobile liability, and workers' compensation liability exposures up to
levels ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, and maintained
excess and umbrella insurance coverage above those levels up to amounts ranging
from $60 million to $105 million per annum on our commercial general liability
and automobile liability policies and up to statutory limits on our workers'
compensation policies. Effective December 20, 1998, we acquired insurance
coverage from third party providers for all of the above exposures, with total
coverage of $105 million per occurrence on our commercial general liability and
automobile liability policies and up to statutory limits on our workers'
compensation policies. None of these policies has a deductible. Domino's also
partially self insures its health insurance program, which provides coverage
for life, medical, dental and accidental death and dismemberment claims. Self-
insurance limitations for medical and dental per a covered individual's
lifetime are $2 million. The accidental death and dismemberment and life
insurance components of the health insurance program are fully insured by
Domino's through third party insurance carriers. We also maintain commercial
property liability insurance, which provides a variety of coverages and is
subject to various limitations, exclusions and deductibles. There can be no
assurance that such liability limitations will be adequate, that insurance
premiums for such coverage will not increase or that in the future we will be
able to obtain insurance at acceptable rates, if at all. Any such inadequacy of
or inability to obtain insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.     
 
Legal Proceedings
          
On September 10, 1998, Vesture Corporation and R.G. Barry Corporation, its
corporate parent, brought suit in the United States District Court for the
Middle District of North Carolina against Domino's and Phase Change
Laboratories, Inc., the exclusive supplier of the heat retention cores inside
the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag, our pizza delivery warming device. The
plaintiffs asserted that the heat retention cores inside the Domino's HeatWave
Hot Bag infringe a patent owned by Vesture. Our agreement with Phase Change
Laboratories gives us exclusive marketing, sales, use and distribution rights
in the pizza delivery market to the heat retention cores inside the Domino's
HeatWave Hot Bag. In addition to damages, the plaintiffs are seeking an
injunction to enjoin the manufacture, sale or use of the heat retention cores
inside the Domino's HeatWave Hot Bag. On November 4, 1998, we filed our answer,
denying the material allegations of the plaintiffs. In addition, we asserted a
counterclaim against Vesture Corporation and R.G. Barry Corporation seeking a
declaratory judgment that we have not infringed Vesture Corporation's patent
and further that Vesture Corporation's patent is invalid and unenforceable. We
also brought a cross-claim against Phase Change Laboratories for
indemnification and for breach of warranty. Phase Change Laboratories filed its
answer and its counterclaim for a declaratory judgment on November 5, 1998.
Although we intend to vigorously defend against the claim, we cannot predict
the ultimate outcome of the claim.

Consulting Agreement with Thomas S. Monaghan
   
In connection with the recapitalization, Mr. Monaghan entered into a consulting
agreement with Domino's Pizza. The consulting agreement has a term of ten
years, is terminable by either Domino's Pizza or Mr. Monaghan upon thirty days
prior written notice, and may be extended or renewed by written agreement.
Under the consulting agreement, Mr. Monaghan may be required to make himself
available to Domino's Pizza on a limited basis. Mr. Monaghan will receive a
retainer of $1 million for the first twelve months of the agreement and $0.5
million per year for the remainder of the term of the agreement. If Domino's
Pizza terminates the agreement for any reason, it is required to remit to
Mr. Monaghan a lump sum payment within thirty days of the termination of the
agreement in the full amount of the retainer payable for the remainder of the
term of the consulting agreement. As a consultant, Mr. Monaghan is entitled to
reimbursement of travel and other expenses incurred in performance of his
duties but is not entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans or
other benefits or conditions of employment.     
   
Employment Agreement with David A. Brandon     
   
Mr. Brandon is employed as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of TISM, Domino's, and Domino's Pizza pursuant to an employment
agreement. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Brandon is entitled
to receive an annual salary of $600,000 and is eligible for an annual bonus
based on achievement of performance objectives. If Mr. Brandon is terminated
other than for cause or resigns voluntarily for good reason, he is entitled to
receive his base salary for a period of two years. If Mr. Brandon's employment
is terminated by reason of physical or mental disability, he is entitled to
receive his base salary less the amount of disability income benefits received
by him and continued coverage under group medical plans for a period of
eighteen months. Mr. Brandon is subject to certain non-competition, non-
solicitation and confidentiality provisions.     
 
Deferred Compensation Plan
   
Domino's Pizza has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of
certain of its executive and managerial employees, including some of the Named
Executive Officers. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees
are permitted to defer up to 40% of their compensation. Domino's Pizza is
required to match 30% of the amount deferred by a participant under the plan
with respect to the first 15%, 20% or 25% of the participant's compensation,
depending on the employee. Domino's Pizza may be obligated to make a
supplemental contribution, in addition to the matching contribution, of up to
20% of the first 15%, 20% or 25% of the deferred amounts. The amounts under the
plan are required to be paid out upon termination of employment or a change in
control of Domino's Pizza or any direct or indirect parent corporation of
Domino's Pizza.     
 
Senior Executive Deferred Bonus Plan
   
Prior to the recapitalization, Domino's Pizza entered into bonus agreements
with certain members of management, including the Named Executive Officers. The
bonus agreements, as amended, provided for bonus payments, a portion of     
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
 
   
which were payable in cash upon the closing of the recapitalization and a
portion of which were deferred under the Senior Executive Deferred Bonus Plan.
Domino's Pizza adopted the Senior Executive Deferred Bonus Plan effective
December 21, 1998. This plan established deferred bonus accounts for the
benefit of executives, including the Named Executive Officers, other than Ms.
Bachelder. Domino's Pizza must pay the deferred amounts in each account to the
respective executive upon the earlier of:     
     
  .a change of control of TISM;     
     
  . a qualified public offering of TISM;     
     
  . the cancellation or forfeiture of stock options held by such executive;
     or     
     
  . ten years and 180 days after December 21, 1998.     
   
If the board of directors of Domino's Pizza terminates the plan, it may pay the
amounts in the deferred bonus accounts to the participating executives at that
time or make the payments as if the plan had continued to be in effect.     
 
Severance Agreements
   
On August 4, 1998, Domino's Pizza entered into severance agreements with
certain members of management, including the Named Executive Officers. Under
the agreements with the Named Executive Officers, Domino's Pizza has agreed to
pay severance benefits to such executives who are terminated without cause or
due to death or disability or who terminate employment for good reason within
two years after the closing of the recapitalization or who resign at or within
30 days after the first anniversary of the closing of the recapitalization for
any reason. The severance benefits include a severance payment that equals
three times the employee's base severance amount if employment terminates prior
to December 21, 1999 or two times such base severance amount if the employee's
employment terminates after December 21, 1999 but prior to December 21, 2000.
In addition, Domino's Pizza is required to make monthly payments for up to
three years, depending upon when employment is terminated, in an amount
sufficient for the executive to purchase health insurance benefits equivalent
to those benefits provided to the executive by Domino's Pizza at the time of
termination. In consideration of the benefits provided under the severance
agreements, the executives agreed to certain non-competition, non-solicitation
and confidentiality provisions.     
 
Compensation of Directors
 
TISM and Domino's reimburse members of the board of directors for any out-of-
pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with services provided in such
capacity. In addition, TISM and Domino's may compensate independent members of
the board of directors for services provided in such capacity.

Common Stock entitle the holder to one vote per share on all matters to be
voted upon by the stockholders of TISM. The shares of Class A-2 Common Stock
and Class A-3 Common Stock are non-voting. The Class L Common Stock is
identical to the Class A Common Stock except that the Class L Common Stock is

respect to any distribution by TISM to holders of its capital stock, equal to
the original cost of such share plus an amount which accrues at a rate of 12%
per annum, compounded quarterly. The Class L Common Stock is convertible upon
an initial public offering, or certain other dispositions, of TISM into Class A
Common Stock upon a vote of the board of directors of TISM. The cumulative
preferred stock has no voting rights except as required by law.

                 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
Because this is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may
be important to you. You should read the complete documents before making an
investment decision.
 
Stockholders Agreement
   
In connection with the recapitalization, TISM, certain of its subsidiaries,
including Domino's, and all of the equity holders of TISM, including the Bain
Capital funds, entered into a stockholders agreement that provides, among other
things that the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting stock of
TISM subject to the stockholders agreement will be required for TISM, its
subsidiaries, including Domino's, and its stockholders to take various
specified actions, including major corporate transactions such as a sale or
initial public offering, acquisitions, divestitures, financings,
recapitalizations and mergers, as well as other actions such as hiring and
firing senior managers, setting management compensation and establishing
capital and operating budgets and business plans. Pursuant to the stockholders
agreement and TISM's Articles of Incorporation, the Bain Capital funds will
have the power to block any such transaction and to elect up to half of the
Board of Directors of TISM. The stockholders agreement includes customary
indemnification provisions in favor of controlling persons against liabilities
under the Securities Act.     
 
Management Agreement
   
In connection with the recapitalization, TISM and certain of its direct and
indirect subsidiaries entered into a management agreement with Bain Capital
Partners VI, L.P. Pursuant to the management agreement, Bain Capital Partners
VI, L.P. provides financial, management and operation consulting services. In
exchange for such services, Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. is entitled to an
annual management fee of $2 million plus the reasonable and out-of-pocket
expenses of Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its affiliates. In addition, in
exchange for assisting Domino's in negotiating the senior financing for any
recapitalization, acquisition or other similar transaction, Bain Capital
Partners VI, L.P. is entitled to a transaction fee equal to 1% of the gross
purchase price, including assumed liabilities, for such transaction,
irrespective of whether such senior financing is actually committed or drawn
upon. In connection with the recapitalization, Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P.
received a fee of $11.75 million. The management agreement will continue in
full force and effect for as long as Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. continues
to provide such services. The management agreement, however, may be terminated:
       
  .  by mutual consent of the parties;     
     
  .  by either party following a material breach of the management agreement
     by the other party and the failure of such other party to cure the
     breach within thirty days of written notice of such breach; or     
     
  .  by Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. upon sixty days written notice.     
   
The management agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor
of Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its affiliates. We believe the management
agreement is on terms no less favorable to Domino's than would have been
obtainable from other private equity firms in similar circumstances.     
 
Lease Agreement
   
We lease our executive offices, world headquarters and Michigan distribution
center from Domino's Farms Office Park Limited Partnership. The lease provides
for lease payments of $4.3 million in the first year, increasing annually to
approximately $4.7 million in the fifth year. Thomas Monaghan, who is a
director of TISM and Domino's, is the ultimate general partner of Domino's
Farms Office Park Limited Partnership. We believe the terms of the lease
agreement are as favorable to Domino's as those obtainable from unrelated third
parties.     
 
Purchases by Affiliates
   
Bain Capital funds have purchased: (1) $30 million in aggregate principal
amount of the tranche B and tranche C senior credit facilities at a discount of
2%; (2) $20 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes at a discount of
3%; and (3) $70.2 million of the cumulative preferred stock of TISM at the
liquidation preference less a discount of 3.5%.

                    Description of Senior Credit Facilities
   
In connection with the recapitalization, Domino's, Inc. and Domino's Franchise
Holding Co., or the Borrowers entered into an agreement with various banks and
financial institutions, providing for the senior credit facilities, which
consist of:     
     
  (1) the tranche A facility of $175 million in term loans;     
     
  (2) the tranche B facility of $135 million in term loans;     
     
  (3) the tranche C facility of $135 million in term loans; and     
     
  (4) the revolving credit facility of up to $100 million in revolving credit
  loans and letters of credit.     
          
The Borrowers are jointly and severally obligated with respect to all amounts
owing under the senior credit facilities. In addition, the senior credit
facilities are:     
     
  (1) guaranteed by TISM;     
     
  (2) jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries;
  and     
     
  (3) secured by a first priority lien on some real property and
  substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the
  Borrowers and their domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge of all of the
  capital stock of the Borrowers and their domestic subsidiaries and of 65%
  of the capital stock of the Borrower's foreign subsidiaries.     
   
The Borrower's future domestic subsidiaries will guarantee the senior credit
facilities and secure that guarantee with certain of their real property and
substantially all of their tangible and intangible personal property.     
   
The senior credit facilities require the Borrowers to meet financial tests,
including without limitation, maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage
and minimum levels of EBITDA. In addition, the senior credit facilities contain
negative covenants limiting, among other things, additional liens,
indebtedness, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, mergers and
consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends,
investments, loans and advances, prepayments and modifications of debt
instruments and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The
senior credit facilities contain customary events of default, including payment
defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults,
certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, failure of any guaranty or
security document supporting the senior credit facilities to be in full force
and effect and change of control of TISM or either of the Borrowers.     
   
The tranche A facility matures in quarterly installments from March 31, 2000
through 2004. The tranche B facility matures in quarterly installments from
December 31, 1999 through 2006. The tranche C facility matures in quarterly
installments from December 31, 1999 through 2007. The revolving credit facility
terminates in 2004.     
   
The borrowings under the senior credit facilities bear interest at a floating
rate and may be maintained as base rate loans or as Eurodollar loans. Base rate
loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin, as defined in
the senior credit facilities. Base rate is defined as the higher of (1) the
applicable prime lending rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company or (2) the
Federal Reserve reported overnight funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%. Eurodollar loans
bear interest at the Eurodollar rate, as described in the senior credit
facilities, plus the applicable margin.     
   
The applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facility and the
tranche A facility will vary from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof and an agreed upon pricing grid based on our leverage ratio. The
initial applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facility and the
tranche A facility is (1) 2.0% in the case of base rate loans and (2) 3.0% in
the case of Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin with respect to the tranche
B facility is (1) 2.50% in the case of base rate loans and (2) 3.50% in the
case of Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin with respect to the tranche C
facility is (1) 2.75% in the case of base rate loans and (2) 3.75% in the case
of Eurodollar loans.     
   
With respect to letters of credit, which may be issued as a part of the
revolving loan commitment, the revolver lenders are entitled to receive a
commission equal to the applicable margin which applies from time to time to
Eurodollar loans under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the issuing
bank is entitled to receive a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum plus its other
standard and customary processing charges. Such commission and fronting fees
are payable quarterly in arrears based on the aggregate undrawn amount of each
letter of credit issued from time to time under the revolver.     
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
 
An initial commitment fee of 0.50% applies to the unused portion of the
revolving loan commitments. This commitment fee is subject to decrease and will
vary from time to time in accordance with an agreed upon pricing grid based
upon our leverage ratio.
   
The senior credit facilities prescribe that certain amounts must be used to
prepay the term loan facilities and reduce commitments under the revolving
credit facility, including:     
     
  (1) 100% of the net proceeds of any issuance of indebtedness after the
  closing date by TISM and its subsidiaries, subject to exceptions for
  permitted debt;     
     
  (2) 50% of the net proceeds of any issuance of equity by TISM and its
  subsidiaries, subject to exceptions;     
     
  (3) 100% of the net proceeds of any sale or other disposition by TISM and
  its subsidiaries of any assets, subject to exceptions if the aggregate
  amount of such net proceeds does not exceed a figure to be agreed upon with
  the senior lenders and such proceeds are reinvested in similar replacement
  assets;     
     
  (4) 75% of excess cash flow, as defined in the senior credit facilities,
  for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending January 2,
  2000, provided, that the foregoing percentage will be reduced to 50% upon
  satisfaction of financial ratios; and     
     
  (5) 100% of the net proceeds of casualty insurance, condemnation awards or
  other recoveries, subject to exceptions.     
 
Voluntary prepayments of the senior credit facilities are permitted at any
time.
   
In general, the mandatory prepayments described above will be applied first to
prepay the term loan facilities and second to reduce commitments under the
revolving credit facility. If the amount of revolving loans then outstanding
exceeds the commitments as so reduced, then that excess amount must be prepaid.
Prepayments of the term loan facilities, optional or mandatory, will be applied
pro rata to the tranche A facility, the tranche B facility and the tranche C
facility, and ratably to the respective installments under such facilities.

                       Description of Exchange Notes     
   
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under
the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "we,"
"us," the "company" or "Domino's" refer only to Domino's, Inc. and not to any
of its Subsidiaries.     
   
Domino's will issue the exchange notes pursuant to the indenture dated December
21, 1998 by and among itself, the Guarantors and IBJ Whitehall Bank & Trust
Company, as trustee. The terms of the exchange notes include those stated in
the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939.     
   
The form and terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects
to the form and terms of the outstanding notes except that:     
     
  (1) the exchange notes will bear a Series B designation;     
     
  (2) the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and,
  therefore, will generally not bear legends restricting their transfer; and
         
  (3) the holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to certain
  rights under the registration rights agreement dated as of December 21,
  1998 by and among us, our subsidiary guarantors, J.P. Morgan Securities,
  Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., including the provision providing for
  liquidated damages in certain circumstances relating to the timing of this
  offer.     
   
The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes and
will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture. The exchange notes will be
pari passu with the outstanding notes if all of such outstanding notes are not
exchanged pursuant to this offer.     
   
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the
indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part. The description does not restate the indenture in
its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this
description, defines your rights as holders of the exchange notes. Copies of
the indenture are available as set forth below under "Additional Information."
       
Brief Description of the Exchange Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees     
   
The Exchange Notes. These exchange notes:     
     
  (1) are general unsecured obligations of Domino's;     
     
  (2) are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior
  Debt of Domino's; and     
     
  (3) are senior in right of payment to any future junior subordinated
  Indebtedness of Domino's.     
   
The Subsidiary Guarantees. These exchange notes are guaranteed by each of our
domestic subsidiaries.     
 
These Subsidiary Guarantees:
     
  (1) are general unsecured obligations of each Guarantor;     
     
  (2) are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior
  Debt of each Guarantor; and     
     
  (3) are senior in right of payment to any future junior subordinated
  Indebtedness of each Guarantor.     
   
As of January 3, 1999, Domino's and the Guarantors had total Senior Debt of
approximately $446.7 million. As indicated above and as discussed in detail
below under the subheading "Subordination," payments on the exchange notes and
under the Subsidiary Guarantees will be subordinated to the prior payment in
full in cash or Cash Equivalents (other than cash equivalents of the type
referred to in clauses (3) and (4) of such definition) of all Senior Debt. The
indenture will permit us and the Guarantors to incur additional Senior Debt.
       
Not all of our "Restricted Subsidiaries" will guarantee these exchange notes
since our Foreign Subsidiaries will not be Guarantors. In the event of a
bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor
subsidiaries, they will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors
before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The non-
guarantor subsidiaries generated less than 1% of our consolidated revenues for
the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999 and held less than 1% of our consolidated
assets as of January 3, 1999.     
 
                                       52
<PAGE>
 
   
As of the date of the indenture, all of our Subsidiaries were "Restricted
Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the
subheading "Certain Covenants--Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our subsidiaries as
"Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to
many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Unrestricted Subsidiaries
will not guarantee these exchange notes.     
 
Principal, Maturity and Interest
   
The exchange notes will be limited in aggregate principal amount to $400.0
million, of which $275.0 million are expected to be issued in this exchange
offer. We will issue the exchange notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The exchange notes will mature on January 15, 2009.     
   
Interest on these exchange notes will accrue at the rate of 10 3/8% per annum
and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15,
commencing on July 15, 1999. We will make each interest payment to the holders
of record of these exchange notes on the immediately preceding January 1 and
July 1.     
   
Each exchange note will bear interest from its issuance date. The holders of
the notes that are accepted for exchange will receive, in cash, accrued
interest on the notes to, but not including, the issuance date of the exchange
notes. Such interest will be paid with the first interest payment on the
exchange notes. Interest on the notes accepted for exchange will cease to
accrue upon issuance of the exchange notes.     
   
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Exchange Notes     
   
If a holder has given wire transfer instructions to us, we will make all
payments of principal, premium, interest and liquidated damages, in accordance
with those instructions. All other payments on these exchange notes will be
made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City
and State of New York unless we elect to make such payments by check mailed to
the holders at their address set forth in the register of holders.     
   
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Exchange Notes     
   
The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. We may change the
paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the exchange
notes, and we or any of our Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
    
Transfer and Exchange
   
A holder may transfer or exchange any exchange note in accordance with the
indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. We may
require a holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
indenture. We are not required to transfer or exchange any exchange note
selected for redemption. Also, we are not required to transfer or exchange any
exchange note for a period of 15 days before a selection of exchange notes to
be redeemed.     
   
The registered holder of a note will be treated as its owner for all purposes.
    
Subsidiary Guarantees
   
The Guarantors will, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee on a
senior subordinated basis our obligations under the exchange notes. Each
Subsidiary Guarantee will be subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash
or Cash Equivalents (other than Cash Equivalents of the type referred to in
clauses (3) and (4) of such definition) of all Senior Debt of that Guarantor.
The subordination provisions applicable to the Subsidiary Guarantees will be
substantially similar to the subordination provisions applicable to the
exchange notes as set forth below under "Subordination." The obligations of
each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to
seek to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent
conveyance under applicable law.     
   
A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into another Person, whether
or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person, unless:     
 
  (1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or
  Event of Default exists; and
 
  (2) either:
       
    (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or
    the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
    assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental
    indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or     
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
 
       
    (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
    accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture.     
 
The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:
     
  (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or
  substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor, including by way of
  merger or consolidation, if the disposition is to Domino's or another
  Guarantor or if Domino's applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other
  disposition in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;
  or     
     
  (2) in connection with any sale of all of the capital stock of a Guarantor,
  if Domino's applies the Net Proceeds of that sale in accordance with the
  applicable provisions of the indenture;     
     
  (3) if Domino's designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as
  an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or     
     
  (4) upon the release or discharge of all guarantees of such Guarantor, and
  all pledges of property or assets of such Guarantor securing, all other
  Indebtedness of Domino's and the other Guarantors.     
 
See "Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales."
 
Subordination
   
The payment of principal, premium, interest, liquidated damages, if any, and
any other Obligations on, or relating to, these exchange notes will be
subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents (other
than Cash Equivalents of the type referred to in clauses (3) and (4) of such
definition) of all Senior Debt of Domino's.     
   
The holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash
or Cash Equivalents (other than Cash Equivalents of the type referred to in
clauses (3) and (4) of such definition) of all Obligations due in respect of
Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding
at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not such
interest is an allowable claim) before the holders of the exchange notes will
be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character
with respect to any Obligations on, or relating to, the exchange notes (except
that holders of the exchange notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior
Securities and payments made from the trust described under "Legal Defeasance
and Covenant Defeasance" so long as the deposit of amounts therein satisfied
the relevant conditions specified in the indenture at the time of such
deposit), in the event of any distribution to creditors of Domino's:     
     
  (1) in a liquidation or dissolution of Domino's;     
     
  (2) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
  proceeding relating to Domino's or its property;     
 
  (3) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
     
  (4) in any marshalling of assets and liabilities of Domino's.     
   
Domino's also may not make any payment or distribution of any kind or character
with respect to any Obligations on, or with respect to, the exchange notes or
acquire any of the exchange notes for cash or property or otherwise, except in
Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described under "--Legal
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance", if:     
 
  (1) a payment default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing;
  or
     
  (2) any other default occurs and is continuing on Designated Senior Debt
  that permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its
  maturity and the trustee receives a notice of such default (a "Payment
  Blockage Notice") from the holders or the Representative of any Designated
  Senior Debt.     
   
Payments on the exchange notes may and shall be resumed:     
 
  (1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default
  is cured or waived; and
     
  (2) in case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of:     
       
    (a) the date on which all nonpayment defaults are cured or waived;     
       
    (b) 179 days after the date of delivery of the applicable Payment
    Blockage Notice; or     
       
    (c) the trustee receives notice from the Representative for such
    Designated Senior Debt rescinding the Payment Blockage Notice, unless
    the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.     
 
                                       54
<PAGE>
 
No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days have
elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage
Notice.
   
No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of
any Payment Blockage Notice to the trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for
a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured
or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.     
   
Domino's must promptly notify holders of Senior Debt if payment of the exchange
notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default.     
   
As a result of the subordination provisions described above, in the event of a
bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Domino's, holders of these
exchange notes may recover less ratably than creditors of Domino's who are
holders of Senior Debt.     
 
Optional Redemption
   
Before January 15, 2002, Domino's may on any one or more occasions redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes originally issued
under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.375% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with
the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that:
       
  (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes
  issued under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after the
  occurrence of such redemption, excluding the exchange notes held by
  Domino's and its Subsidiaries; and     
 
  (2) the redemption must occur within 120 days of the date of the closing of
  the Equity Offering.
   
Before January 15, 2004, Domino's may also redeem these exchange notes, as a
whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to, the date of redemption (the "Redemption
Date"). In no event may any such redemption occur more than 90 days after the
occurrence of such Change of Control.     
   
Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the exchange notes will not be
redeemable at the option of Domino's prior to January 15, 2004.     
   
On or after January 15, 2004, we may redeem all or a part of these exchange
notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption
prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of the years
indicated below:

Mandatory Redemption
   
Domino's is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments
with respect to the exchange notes.     
 
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
 
Change of Control
   
If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of exchange notes will have the
right to require Domino's to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple of such amount) of that holder's exchange notes pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer. In the Change of Control Offer, Domino's will
offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of exchange notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment").
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, Domino's will mail a notice to
each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the
Change of Control and offering to repurchase the exchange notes on the purchase
date specified in such notice pursuant to the procedures required by the
indenture and described in such notice. The purchase date specified in such
notice must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days from the date
such notice is mailed, unless otherwise required by law (the "Change of Control
Payment Date").     
 
                                       55
<PAGE>
 
   
Domino's will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such
laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the
exchange notes as a result of a Change of Control. Domino's will publicly
announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.     
   
The indenture provides that, prior to the mailing of the notice referred to
above, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control,
Domino's covenants to:     
 
  (1) repay in full and terminate all commitments under Indebtedness under
  the Senior Credit Facilities and all other Senior Debt the terms of which
  require repayment upon a Change of Control or offer to repay in full and
  terminate all commitments under all Indebtedness under the Senior Credit
  Facilities and all other such Senior Debt and to repay the Indebtedness
  owed to each lender which has accepted such offer; or
     
  (2) obtain the requisite consents under the Senior Credit Facilities and
  all other such Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the exchange notes
  as provided below.     
   
Domino's shall first comply with the covenant in the immediately preceding
sentence before it will be required to repurchase exchange notes pursuant to
the provisions described below. Our failure to comply with the covenant
described in the immediately preceding sentence may, with notice and lapse of
time, constitute an Event of Default described in clause (3) but shall not
constitute an Event of Default described in clause (2) under "Events of
Default" below.     
   
On the Change of Control Payment Date, Domino's will, to the extent lawful:
       
  (1) accept for payment all exchange notes or portions thereof properly
  tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;     
     
  (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control
  Payment in respect of all exchange notes or portions thereof so tendered;
  and     
     
  (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the exchange notes so
  accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate
  principal amount of exchange notes or portions thereof being purchased.
         
The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of exchange notes so
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such exchange notes, and the trustee
will promptly authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry,
to each holder a new exchange note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the exchange notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each
such new exchange note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral
multiple of such amount.     
   
The provisions described above that require us to make a Change of Control
Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether or
not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described
above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain
provisions that permit the holders of the exchange notes to require that we
repurchase or redeem the exchange notes in the event of a takeover,
recapitalization or similar transaction.     
   
Our outstanding Senior Debt currently prohibits us from purchasing any exchange
notes, and also provides that certain change of control events would constitute
a default under the agreements governing the Senior Debt. Any future credit
agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which we become a
party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. In the event a Change of
Control occurs at a time when we are prohibited from purchasing exchange notes,
we could seek the consent of our senior lenders to the purchase of exchange
notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such
prohibition. If we do not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, we
will remain prohibited from purchasing exchange notes. In such case, our
failure to purchase tendered exchange notes would constitute an Event of
Default under the indenture which would, in turn, constitute a default under
such Senior Debt. In such circumstances, the subordination provisions in the
indenture would likely restrict payments to the holders of exchange notes.     
   
We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the
indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Domino's and
purchases all exchange notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer.     
 
                                       56
<PAGE>
 
   
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all"
of the assets of Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase
"substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase
under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of exchange notes to
require Domino's to repurchase such exchange notes as a result of a sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets
of Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person
or group may be uncertain.     
 
Asset Sales
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless:     
     
  (1) Domino's or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
  consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair
  market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
  disposed of;     
     
  (2) such fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors of
  Domino's and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth
  in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the trustee; and     
     
  (3) at least 75% of the consideration received by Domino's or such
  Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For
  purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be
  cash:     
       
    (a) any liabilities of Domino's or any Restricted Subsidiary as shown on
    the most recent balance sheet of Domino's or such Restricted Subsidiary
    (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
    terms subordinated to the exchange notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee)
    that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a
    customary novation agreement that releases Domino's or such Restricted
    Subsidiary from further liability;     
       
    (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Domino's or
    any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
    contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by
    Domino's or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the
    cash received in that conversion; and     
       
    (c) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by Domino's or any of
    its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair
    market value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash
    Consideration received since the date of the indenture pursuant to this
    clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 10% of Total
    Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash
    Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated
    Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without
    giving effect to subsequent changes in value.     
   
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
Domino's may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:     
     
  (1) to repay Senior Debt and to correspondingly reduce commitments if the
  Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit borrowings;     
 
  (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of
  the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;
 
  (3) to make a capital expenditure; and/or
 
  (4) to acquire assets that are used or useable in a Permitted Business.
   
Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, Domino's may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.     
   
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided
in the preceding paragraph will constitute Excess Proceeds. When the aggregate
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Domino's will make an Asset
Sale Offer, to all holders of exchange notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the exchange notes containing provisions
similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase
or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum
principal amount of exchange notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that
may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale
Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, Domino's may
use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of exchange notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount
of Excess Proceeds, the     
 
                                       57
<PAGE>
 
   
trustee shall select the exchange notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness
to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer,
the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.     
 
Selection and Notice
   
If less than all of the exchange notes are to be redeemed at any time, the
trustee will select exchange notes for redemption as follows:     
     
  (1) if the exchange notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements
  of the principal national securities exchange on which the exchange notes
  are listed; or     
     
  (2) if the exchange notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or
  by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.     
   
No exchange notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of
redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of exchange notes to be redeemed
at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.     
   
If any exchange note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
that relates to that exchange note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. A new exchange note in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the original exchange note will be issued in the name
of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original exchange note. Those
exchange notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on
exchange notes or portions of them called for redemption.     
 
Certain Covenants
 
Restricted Payments
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly:     
     
  (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution
  on account of the Equity Interests of Domino's (including, without
  limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation
  involving Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct
  or indirect holders of the Equity Interests of Domino's in their capacity
  as such, other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests
  (other than Disqualified Stock) of Domino's;     
     
  (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including,
  without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation
  involving Domino's) any Equity Interests of Domino's or any direct or
  indirect parent of Domino's, other than any such Equity Interests owned by
  Domino's or any Restricted Subsidiary of Domino's;     
     
  (3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or
  otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated
  to the exchange notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, except a payment of
  interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or     
 
  (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set
  forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as
  "Restricted Payments"),
 
unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
 
  (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
  would occur as a consequence thereof; and
     
  (2) Domino's would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving
  pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment as if such Restricted Payment
  had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have
  been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant
  to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of
  the covenant described below under the caption "--Incurrence of
  Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;" and     
     
  (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
  other Restricted Payments made by Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries
  after the date of the indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by
  clauses (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8) of the next succeeding paragraph),
  is less than the sum, without duplication, of     
       
    (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Domino's for the period, taken
    as one accounting period, from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter
    commencing after the date of the indenture to the end of the most
    recently     
 
                                       58
<PAGE>
 
    ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are
    available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such
    Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such
    deficit), plus
       
    (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Domino's, other
    than from a Restricted Subsidiary, since the date of the indenture as a
    contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of
    Equity Interests of Domino's (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the
    issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or
    convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Domino's that have been
    converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests, other than Equity
    Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a
    Subsidiary of Domino's, plus     
       
    (c) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the
    date of the indenture is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid
    for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to
    such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and
    (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment.     
 
The preceding provisions will not prohibit:
     
  (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of
  declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have
  complied with the provisions of the indenture;     
     
  (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition
  of any subordinated Indebtedness of Domino's or any Guarantor or of any
  Equity Interests of Domino's or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for,
  or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other
  than to a Subsidiary of Domino's) of, Equity Interests of Domino's (other
  than Disqualified Stock); provided, however, that the amount of any such
  net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase,
  retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause
  (3) (b) of the preceding paragraph;     
     
  (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of
  subordinated Indebtedness of Domino's or any Guarantor with the net cash
  proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;     
     
  (4) payments to any direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's for
  the purpose of permitting, and in an amount equal to the amount required to
  permit, such direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's to redeem or
  repurchase such direct or indirect parent corporation's common equity or
  options in respect thereof, in each case in connection with the repurchase
  provisions of employee stock option or stock purchase agreements or other
  agreements to compensate management employees; provided, however, that all
  such redemptions or repurchases pursuant to this clause (4) shall not
  exceed $17.5 million in the aggregate since the date of the indenture
  (which amount shall be increased: (a) by the amount of any net cash
  proceeds received from the sale since the date of the indenture of Equity
  Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to members of the management team
  of Domino's that have not otherwise been applied to the payment of
  Restricted Payments pursuant to the terms of clause (3)(b) of the preceding
  paragraph; and (b) by the cash proceeds of any "key-man" life insurance
  policies that are used to make such redemptions or repurchases); and
  provided, further, that the cancellation of Indebtedness owing to Domino's
  from members of management of Domino's or any of its Restricted
  Subsidiaries in connection with such a repurchase of Capital Stock of any
  direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's will not be deemed to
  constitute a Restricted Payment under the indenture;     
     
  (5) the making of distributions, loans or advances to any direct or
  indirect parent corporation of Domino's in an amount not to exceed $1.5
  million per annum in order to permit such direct or indirect parent
  corporation of Domino's to pay the ordinary operating expenses of such
  direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's (including, without
  limitation, directors' fees, indemnification obligations, professional fees
  and expenses);     
     
  (6) payments to any direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's in
  respect of:     
       
    (a) federal income taxes for the tax periods for which a federal
    consolidated return is filed by such direct or indirect parent
    corporation of Domino's for a consolidated group of which such direct or
    indirect parent corporation of Domino's is the parent and Domino's and
    its Subsidiaries are members, in an amount not to exceed the
    hypothetical federal income taxes that Domino's would have paid if
    Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries filed a separate consolidated
    return with Domino's as the parent, taking into account carryovers and
    carrybacks of tax attributes (including net operating losses) that would
    have been allowed if such separate consolidated return had been filed;
           
    (b) state income tax for the tax periods for which a state combined,
    consolidated or unitary return is filed by such direct or indirect
    parent corporation of Domino's for a combined, consolidated or unitary
    group of which such direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's is
    the parent and Domino's and its Subsidiaries are members, in an amount
    not to exceed the hypothetical state income taxes that Domino's would
    have paid if     
 
                                       59
<PAGE>
 
       
    Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries had filed a separate combined,
    consolidated or unitary return taking into account carryovers and
    carrybacks of tax attributes (including net operating losses) that would
    have been allowed if such separate combined return had been filed; and
           
    (c) capital stock, net worth, or other similar taxes (but for the
    avoidance of doubt, excluding any taxes based on net or gross income)
    payable by such direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's based
    on or attributable to its investment in or ownership of Domino's and its
    Restricted Subsidiaries;     
     
  provided, however, that in no event shall any such tax payment pursuant to
  this clause (6) exceed the amount of federal or state, as the case may be,
  income tax that is, at the time Domino's makes such tax payments, actually
  due and payable by such direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's
  to the relevant taxing authorities or to become due and payable within 30
  days of such payment by Domino's; provided, further, that for purposes of
  this clause (6), payments made by an Unrestricted Subsidiary to a
  Restricted Subsidiary or Domino's which are in turn distributed by such
  Restricted Subsidiary or Domino's to any direct or indirect parent
  corporation of Domino's shall be disregarded;     
     
  (7) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
  or would occur as a consequence of such action, the declaration and payment
  of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred
  Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Domino's or any Restricted
  Subsidiary issued after the date of the indenture; provided, however, that,
  at the time of such issuance, Domino's, after giving effect to such
  issuance on a pro forma basis, would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
  of at least 2.0 to 1.0 for the most recent Four-Quarter Period;     
     
  (8) distributions made by Domino's on the Issue Date that are utilized
  solely to consummate the Recapitalization and distributions made subsequent
  to the Issue Date in order to make payments pursuant to the Merger
  Agreement, as in effect on the Issue Date and as amended or modified from
  time to time so long as any such amendment or modification is, in the good
  faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Domino's, not more
  disadvantageous to the holders of exchange notes in any material respects
  than the Merger Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;     
     
  (9) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value
  of subordinated Indebtedness or the Cumulative Preferred Stock with Excess
  Proceeds to the extent such Excess Proceeds are permitted to be used for
  general corporate purposes under the covenant entitled "Asset Sales;" and
         
  (10) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
  continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof and Domino's would be
  permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than
  Permitted Debt) in compliance with the covenant described below under the
  caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock,"
  other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0
  million since the date of the indenture.     
   
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair
market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Domino's or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
covenant shall be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with
respect thereto shall be delivered to the trustee. The Board of Directors'
determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $10.0 million. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment, Domino's shall deliver to the trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth
the basis upon which the calculations required by this "Restricted Payments"
covenant were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or
appraisal required by the indenture.     
 
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect
to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and
Domino's will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided,
however, that Domino's and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness, including
Acquired Debt, or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Guarantor may issue
preferred stock, if in each case the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most
recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred
stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma
basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom and as
otherwise provided in accordance with the provisions contained in the
definition of "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio"), as if the additional Indebtedness
had been     
 
                                       60
<PAGE>
 
incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the
case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
 
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of
the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):
     
  (1) the incurrence by Domino's and any Guarantor of Indebtedness pursuant
  to the Senior Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any
  time outstanding not to exceed $545.0 million less the aggregate amount of
  all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by Domino's or any of its
  Restricted Subsidiaries to permanently repay Indebtedness under the Senior
  Credit Facilities pursuant to the covenant described above under the
  caption "--Asset Sales;" provided, however that the amount of Indebtedness
  permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities in
  accordance with this clause (1) shall be in addition to any Indebtedness
  permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities in
  reliance on, and in accordance with, clauses (4) and (14) below; and
  provided, further, that letters of credit shall be deemed to have a
  principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of Domino's and
  its Subsidiaries under such letters of credit;     
     
  (2) the incurrence by Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the
  Existing Indebtedness;     
     
  (3) the incurrence by Domino's and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
  represented by the outstanding notes issued on the date of the indenture,
  the Subsidiary Guarantees of such outstanding notes, these exchange notes
  issued in exchange for such outstanding notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees
  thereof;     
     
  (4) the incurrence by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
  Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) to finance the
  purchase, lease or improvement of property, real or personal, or equipment,
  whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any
  Person owning such assets, within 180 days after such purchase, lease or
  improvement in an aggregate principal amount outstanding (which amount may,
  but need not, be incurred in whole or in part under the Senior Credit
  Facilities) not to exceed the greater of (a) $30.0 million or (b) 7.5% of
  Total Assets at the time of any incurrence thereof, including any Permitted
  Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any
  Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4);     
     
  (5) the incurrence by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
  Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of
  which are used to refund, refinance or replace, Indebtedness, other than
  intercompany Indebtedness, that was permitted by the indenture to be
  incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3),
  (4) or (14) of this paragraph;     
     
  (6) the incurrence by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
  intercompany Indebtedness between or among Domino's and any of its
  Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:     
       
    (a) if Domino's or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and
    the obligee is not Domino's or any Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be
    expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
    Obligations with respect to the exchange notes, in the case of Domino's,
    or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the case of a
    Guarantor; and     
       
    (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that
    results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than
    Domino's or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) any sale or
    other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either
    Domino's or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries, shall be deemed, in each
    case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Domino's or
    such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted
    by this clause (6);     
     
  (7) the incurrence by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
  Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging
  (a) interest rate risk with respect to any floating or fixed rate
  Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of the indenture to be
  outstanding or (b) the value of foreign currencies purchased or received by
  Domino's in the ordinary course of business;     
     
  (8) the guarantee by Domino's or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of
  Domino's or a Guarantor that was permitted to be incurred by another
  provision of this covenant;     
     
  (9) the incurrence of Indebtedness and/or the issuance of preferred stock
  by Foreign Subsidiaries of Domino's, which together with the aggregate
  principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (9) and
  the aggregate liquidation value of all preferred stock issued pursuant to
  this clause (9), does not exceed $20.0 million at any one time outstanding;
  provided, however, that such amount shall increase to $40.0 million upon
  the consummation of an Initial Public Offering;     
 
 
                                       61
<PAGE>
 
     
  (10) the accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue
  discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
  additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends
  on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of
  Disqualified Stock; provided, however, in each such case, that the amount
  is included in Fixed Charges of Domino's as accrued;     
     
  (11) Indebtedness incurred by Domino's or any of its Restricted
  Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters
  of credit issued in the ordinary course of business including, without
  limitation, in respect of workers' compensation claims or self insurance,
  or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations
  regarding workers' compensation claims;     
     
  (12) Indebtedness arising from agreements of Domino's or a Restricted
  Subsidiary of Domino's providing for indemnification, adjustment of
  purchase price, earn out or other similar obligations, in each case,
  incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business,
  assets or a Restricted Subsidiary of Domino's, other than guarantees of
  Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such
  business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such
  acquisition; provided, however, that the maximum assumable liability in
  respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds
  actually received by Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection
  with such disposition;     
     
  (13) obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion
  guarantees provided by Domino's or any Restricted Subsidiary of Domino's in
  the ordinary course of business; and     
     
  (14) the incurrence by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
  additional Indebtedness, and/or the issuance by any Guarantor of preferred
  stock, in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable)
  or aggregate liquidation value, as applicable, at any time outstanding
  (which amount may, but need not, be incurred in whole or in part under the
  Senior Credit Facilities), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
  incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred or
  preferred stock issued pursuant to this clause (14), not to exceed $40.0
  million at any one time outstanding; provided that such amount shall
  increase to $60.0 million upon the consummation of an Initial Public
  Offering.     
   
For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness
and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an item of
proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of
Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is entitled to
be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, Domino's will be
permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence
in any manner that complies with this covenant. All borrowings outstanding on
the date of the indenture under the Senior Credit Facilities will be deemed to
have been borrowed pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.
    
No Senior Subordinated Debt
   
Domino's will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become
liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment
to any Indebtedness of Domino's and senior in any respect in right of payment
to the exchange notes. No Guarantor will incur, create, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate
or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of such Guarantor and senior
in any respect in right of payment to such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee.
    
Liens
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of
any kind securing Indebtedness, or trade payables on any asset now owned or
hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless all payments due under the
indenture and the exchange notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with
the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such is no longer secured by a
Lien; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness is by its terms expressly
subordinated to the exchange notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Lien
securing such Indebtedness shall be subordinate and junior to the Lien securing
the exchange notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees with the same relative
priority as such subordinate or junior Indebtedness shall have with respect to
the exchange notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees.     
 
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:     
     
  (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to
  Domino's or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Domino's, or with respect
  to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or
  pay any indebtedness owed to Domino's or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
  of Domino's;     
 
                                       62
<PAGE>
 
     
  (2) make loans or advances to Domino's or any of the Restricted
  Subsidiaries of Domino's; or     
     
  (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to Domino's or any of the
  Restricted Subsidiaries of Domino's.     
 
However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of:
     
  (1) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date of the indenture;     
     
  (2) the indenture and the exchange notes;     
 
  (3) the Senior Credit Facilities;
 
  (4) applicable law;
     
  (5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person
  acquired by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at
  the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was
  incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which
  encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the
  properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property
  or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of
  Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture
  to be incurred;     
 
  (6) non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses or similar agreements
  entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
  practices;
 
  (7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course
  of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the
  nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
 
  (8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted
  Subsidiary that restricts distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary
  pending its sale or other disposition;
     
  (9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions
  contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing
  Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, in the good faith
  judgment of the Board of Directors of Domino's, taken as a whole, than
  those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
  refinanced;     
     
  (10) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted
  under the indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien;     
     
  (11) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred
  pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described above under the
  caption "--Liens" that limit the right of Domino's or any of its Restricted
  Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien;     
 
  (12) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets
  or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements
  entered into in the ordinary course of business;
 
  (13) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by
  customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
     
  (14) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or preferred stock
  (whether or not outstanding) of Foreign Subsidiaries of Domino's that was
  permitted by the indenture to be incurred;     
     
  (15) Indebtedness incurred after the Issue Date in accordance with the
  terms of the indenture; provided, however, that the restrictions contained
  in the agreements governing such new Indebtedness are, in the good faith
  judgment of the Board of Directors of Domino's, not materially less
  favorable, taken as a whole, to the holders of the exchange notes than
  those contained in the agreements governing Indebtedness on the Issue Date;
  and     
     
  (16) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments,
  modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
  replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations
  referred to in clauses (1) through (15) above; provided, however, that such
  amendments, modifications restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
  refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of
  the Board of Directors of Domino's, not materially more restrictive with
  respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
  contained in the dividends or other payment restrictions prior to such
  amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement,
  refunding, replacement or refinancing.     
 
                                       63
<PAGE>
 
Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets
   
Domino's may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into
another Person (whether or not Domino's is the surviving corporation); or (2)
sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to another
Person; unless:     
     
  (1) either: (a) Domino's is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person
  formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than
  Domino's, or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
  disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing
  under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
  Columbia;     
     
  (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if
  other than Domino's, or the Person to which such sale, assignment,
  transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all
  the obligations of Domino's under the exchange notes, the indenture and the
  registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably
  satisfactory to the trustee;     
 
  (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default
  exists; and
     
  (4) Domino's or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
  merger, if other than Domino's, will, on the date of such transaction after
  giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as
  if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter
  period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
  pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first
  paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "--Incurrence
  of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock."     
   
In addition, Domino's may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related
transactions, to any other Person. This "Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of
Assets" covenant will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition of assets between or among Domino's and any of its Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiaries.     
 
Transactions with Affiliates
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter
into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding,
loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an
"Affiliate Transaction"), unless:     
     
  (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to
  Domino's or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have
  been obtained in a comparable transaction by Domino's or such Restricted
  Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and     
     
  (2) Domino's delivers to the trustee:     
 
    (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
    Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
    $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
    Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction
    complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been
    approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of
    Directors; and
       
    (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
    Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
    $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the holders of the
    exchange notes of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of
    view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
    national standing.     
 
The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and,
therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
     
  (1) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on
  behalf of, officers, directors, employee or consultants of Domino's or any
  Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
  Domino's or senior management;     
     
  (2) transactions between or among Domino's and/or its Restricted
  Subsidiaries;     
     
  (3) any agreement or instrument as in effect as of the date of the
  indenture or any amendment or replacement thereto or any transaction
  contemplated by such agreement or instrument (including pursuant to any
  amendment or replacement to such agreement or instrument) so long as any
  such amendment or replacement agreement or     
 
                                       64
<PAGE>
 
     
  instrument is, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
  Domino's, not more disadvantageous to the holders of exchange notes in any
  material respect than the original agreement or instrument as in effect on
  the date of the indenture;     
     
  (4) the payment of customary management, consulting and advisory fees and
  related expenses to the Principals and their Affiliates made pursuant to
  any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement agreement or
  in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without
  limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which are
  approved by the Board of Directors of Domino's or such Restricted
  Subsidiary in good faith;     
     
  (5) payments or loans to employees or consultants that are approved by the
  Board of Directors of Domino's in good faith;     
     
  (6) the existence of, or the performance by Domino's or any of its
  Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any
  stockholders agreement, including any registration rights agreement or
  related purchase agreement, to which it is a party as of the date of the
  indenture and any similar agreements which it may enter into after such
  date; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by
  Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any
  future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar
  agreement entered into after the date of the indenture shall only be
  permitted by this clause (6) to the extent that the terms of any such
  amendment or new agreement are not disadvantageous to the holders of
  exchange notes in any material respect;     
     
  (7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners
  or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary
  course of business (including, without limitation, pursuant to joint
  venture agreements) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the
  indenture which are fair to Domino's or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the
  reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of Domino's or the
  senior management of Domino's, or are on terms at least as favorable as
  might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated
  party; and     
     
  (8) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the
  indenture described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments."     
 
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
   
The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all
outstanding Investments owned by Domino's and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the
time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted
Payments under clause (3)(b) of the second paragraph of the covenant described
above under the caption "--Restricted Payments" or Permitted Investments, as
applicable. All such outstanding Investments will be valued at their fair
market value at the time of such designation. That designation will only be
permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at that time and if
such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.
    
Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness
   
Domino's will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor,
directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to secure the payment
of any other Indebtedness of Domino's or any Guarantor (other than such
Restricted Subsidiary) unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously
executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of
the payment of the exchange notes by such Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be
senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee of or
pledge to secure such other Indebtedness, unless such other Indebtedness is
Senior Debt, in which case the Guarantee of the exchange notes shall be
subordinated to the Guarantee of such Senior Debt to the same extent as the
exchange notes are subordinated to such Senior Debt.     
   
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Subsidiary Guarantee of the
exchange notes will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged under the circumstances described above
under the caption "--Subsidiary Guarantees." The form of the Subsidiary
Guarantee is attached as an exhibit to the indenture.     
 
Business Activities
   
Domino's will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any
business other than Permitted Businesses.     
 
                                       65

Reports
   
Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any exchange notes are
outstanding, Domino's will furnish to the holders of such exchange notes,
within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations:
       
  (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required
  to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if
  Domino's were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's
  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
  and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual
  financial statements by the certified independent accountants of Domino's;
  and     
     
  (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the
  Commission on Form 8-K if Domino's were required to file such reports.     
   
If Domino's has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by
the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation,
either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and
in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of Domino's
and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Domino's.     
   
In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, Domino's will file a
copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2)
above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will
not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities
analysts and prospective investors upon request. Moreover, Domino's has agreed,
and any Guarantor will agree, that, for so long as any exchange notes remain
outstanding, it will furnish to the holders and to securities analysts and
prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be
delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.     
 
Events of Default and Remedies
 
Each of the following is an Event of Default:
     
  (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the exchange
  notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the
  indenture;     
     
  (2) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on
  the exchange notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination
  provisions of the indenture;     
     
  (3) failure by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days
  after specified notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of
  the outstanding principal amount of the exchange notes to comply with any
  of the other agreements in the indenture or the exchange notes;     
     
  (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there
  may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
  Indebtedness for money borrowed by Domino's or any of its Restricted
  Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Domino's or any of
  its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
  exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:
      
    (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal at the final stated maturity
    of such Indebtedness (a "Payment Default"); or
 
    (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
    express maturity,
 
  and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
  with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there
  has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so
  accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more;
     
  (5) failure by Domino's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final
  judgments aggregating in excess of $15.0 million, which judgments are not
  paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days after such
  judgments become final and non-appealable; and     
     
  (6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to Domino's or
  any of its Significant Restricted Subsidiaries.     
   
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to Domino's, all outstanding exchange notes will become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other
Event     
 
                                       66
<PAGE>
 
   
of Default specified in the indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee or
the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding exchange notes
may declare the principal of and accrued interest on the exchange notes to be
due any payable by notice in writing to Domino's and the trustee specifying the
respective Event of Default and that such notice is a "notice of acceleration"
(the "Acceleration Notice"), and the same:     
     
  (1) shall become immediately due and payable; or     
     
  (2) if there are any amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit
  Facilities, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to
  occur of an acceleration under the Senior Credit Facilities or five
  Business Days after receipt by Domino's and the Representative under the
  Senior Credit Facilities of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event
  of Default is then continuing.     
   
Holders of the exchange notes may not enforce the indenture or the exchange
notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations,
holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding exchange
notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee
may withhold from holders of the exchange notes notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default relating to
the payment of principal or interest, if it determines that withholding notice
is in their interest.     
   
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes
then outstanding by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the holders of all
of the exchange notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the exchange notes.
       
In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action
or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of Domino's with the intention
of avoiding payment of the premium that Domino's would have had to pay if
Domino's then had elected to redeem the exchange notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of the indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become
and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the
acceleration of the exchange notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to
January 15, 2004, by reason of any willful action taken or not taken by or on
behalf of Domino's with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption
of the exchange notes prior to January 15, 2004, then the premium specified in
the indenture shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent
permitted by law upon the acceleration of the exchange notes.     
   
Domino's is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of
Default, Domino's is required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying
such Default or Event of Default.     
 
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
   
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Domino's, any
direct or indirect parent corporation of Domino's or any Guarantor, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of Domino's or the Guarantors
under the exchange notes, the indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each holder of exchange notes by accepting an exchange note waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the exchange notes. The waiver may not be
effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.     
 
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
   
Domino's may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its
obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding exchange notes and all
obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary
Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:     
     
  (1) the rights of holders of outstanding exchange notes to receive payments
  in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
  exchange notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
         
  (2) the obligations of Domino's with respect to the exchange notes
  concerning issuing temporary exchange notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or
  stolen exchange notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for
  payment and money for security payments held in trust;     
     
  (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and
  the obligations of Domino's in connection with the foregoing; and     
     
  (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.     
 
                                       67
<PAGE>
 
   
In addition, Domino's may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the
obligations of Domino's and the Guarantors released with respect to certain
covenants that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and
thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants shall not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to the exchange notes. In the event
Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (including non-payment of other
indebtedness, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events
described under "Events of Default" and the limitations contained in clauses
(3) and (4) of "Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets") will no longer
constitute an Event of Default with respect to the exchange notes.     
 
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
     
  (1) Domino's must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the
  benefit of the holders of the exchange notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-
  callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts
  as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
  independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any,
  and interest on the outstanding exchange notes on the stated maturity or on
  the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and Domino's must
  specify whether the exchange notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
  particular redemption date;     
     
  (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, Domino's shall have delivered to the
  trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
  confirming that:     
       
    (a) Domino's has received from, or there has been published by, the
    Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or     
       
    (b) since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the
    applicable federal income tax law,     
     
  in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of
  counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding exchange notes
  will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as
  a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax
  on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
  been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;     
     
  (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Domino's shall have delivered to
  the trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
  confirming that the holders of the outstanding exchange notes will not
  recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
  of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
  the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
  been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;     
 
  (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
  either: (a) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
  Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such
  deposit); or (b) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency
  events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day
  after the date of deposit;
     
  (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a
  breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit
  Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the
  indenture) to which Domino's or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
  which Domino's or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;     
     
  (6) Domino's must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to
  the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds
  will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
  reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally;     
     
  (7) Domino's must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate stating
  that the deposit was not made by Domino's with the intent of preferring the
  holders of exchange notes over the other creditors of Domino's with the
  intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of
  Domino's or others; and     
     
  (8) Domino's must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
  opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to
  the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
      
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
   
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture and the
exchange notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the exchange notes (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, exchange notes), and any existing default
or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the exchange notes may be
waived     
 
                                       68
<PAGE>
 
   
with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding exchange notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, exchange
notes).     
   
Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not
(with respect to any exchange note held by a non-consenting holder):     
     
  (1) reduce the principal amount of exchange notes whose holders must
  consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;     
     
  (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any exchange
  note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the exchange
  notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above
  under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders");     
     
  (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any
  exchange note;     
     
  (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or
  premium, if any, or interest on the exchange notes, except a rescission of
  acceleration of the exchange notes by the holders of at least a majority in
  aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes and a waiver of the
  payment default that resulted from such acceleration;     
     
  (5) make any exchange note payable in money other than that stated in the
  exchange notes;     
     
  (6) make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers
  of past Defaults or the rights of holders of exchange notes to receive
  payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the exchange
  notes;     
     
  (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any exchange note, other
  than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the
  caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders"; or     
 
  (8) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
   
In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of the indenture
relating to subordination that adversely affects the rights of the holders of
the exchange notes will require the consent of the holders of at least 75% in
aggregate principal amount of exchange notes then outstanding.     
   
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of exchange
notes, Domino's, or any Guarantor, with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee or
the indenture, and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the
exchange notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee:     
 
  (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
     
  (2) to provide for uncertificated exchange notes in addition to or in place
  of certificated exchange notes;     
     
  (3) to provide for the assumption of Domino's, or any Guarantor's,
  obligations to holders of exchange notes in the case of a merger or
  consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Domino's or such
  Guarantor's, as the case may be, assets;     
     
  (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits
  to the holders of exchange notes, including providing for additional
  Subsidiary Guarantees, or that does not adversely affect the legal rights
  under the indenture of any such holder; or     
     
  (5) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or
  maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.
         
Concerning the Trustee     
   
If the trustee becomes a creditor of Domino's or any Guarantor, the indenture
limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on
certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or
otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions;
however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or
resign.     
   
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding exchange
notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to
certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of
its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own
affairs. Subject     
 
                                       69
<PAGE>
 
   
to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of
its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of
exchange notes, unless such holder shall have offered to the trustee security
and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.     
 
Additional Information
   
Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the indenture without
charge by writing to Domino's Inc., 30 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, P.O. Box 997,
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106-0997, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.     
 
Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
   
The certificates representing the exchange notes will be issued in fully
registered form, without coupons. Except as described below, the exchange notes
will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),
in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee in the
form of one or more global certificates (the "Global Notes") or will remain in
the custody of the trustee pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement
between DTC and the trustee.     
   
Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and
not in part, only to DTC or another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or
its nominee. Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive
physical delivery of Certificated Notes (as defined below). See "--Exchange of
Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes." In addition, transfers of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and
procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants, including, if
applicable, those of Euroclear and Cedel, which rules and procedures may change
from time to time.     
   
Initially, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar. The exchange
notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices
of the registrar.     
 
Depository Procedures
   
The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC are provided
solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely
within the control of the settlement system of DTC and are subject to changes
by DTC from time to time. Domino's takes no responsibility for these operations
and procedures and urges investors to contact DTC or its participants directly
to discuss these matters.     
 
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its
participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities
between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its
Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access
to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers,
dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively,
the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially
own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the
Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership
interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the
records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.
 
Pursuant to procedures established by DTC:
     
  (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of
  Participants designated by the trustee with portions of the principal
  amount of the Global Notes; and     
     
  (2) ownership of such interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and
  the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records
  maintained by DTC, with respect to the Participants, or by the Participants
  and the Indirect Participants, with respect to other owners of beneficial
  interest in the Global Notes.     
 
All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and
requirements of DTC. The laws of some states require that certain persons take
physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently,
the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such persons
will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of
Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain
banks, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to
pledge such interests to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC
system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected
by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.
 
                                       70
<PAGE>
 
   
Except as described below, owners of interest in the Global Notes will not have
exchange notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of
exchange notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered
owners under the indenture for any purpose.     
   
Payments in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on a
Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC
in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms
of the indenture, Domino's and the trustee will treat the persons in whose
names the exchange notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the
owners thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all
other purposes whatsoever. Consequently, neither Domino's, the trustee nor any
agent of Domino's or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or
liability for:     
 
  (1) any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect
  Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
  ownership interest in the Global Notes, or for maintaining, supervising or
  reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect
  Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the
  Global Notes; or
 
  (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of
  its Participants or Indirect Participants.
   
DTC's current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities
such as the exchange notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the
accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date, in
amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in the principal amount of
beneficial interest in the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC
unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment
date.     
   
Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial
owners of exchange notes will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the
Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or
Domino's. Neither Domino's nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC
or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the exchange
notes, and Domino's and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be
protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.
       
DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of exchange notes
only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has
credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion
of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes as to which such
Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there
is an Event of Default under the exchange notes, DTC reserves the right to
exchange the Global Notes for exchange notes in certificated form, and to
distribute such exchange notes to its Participants.     
 
Exchange of Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes
   
A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive exchange notes in registered
certificated form ("Certificated Notes") if:     
 
  (1) DTC:
       
    (a) notifies Domino's that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
    depositary for the Global Notes and Domino's thereupon fails to appoint
    a successor depositary; or     
 
    (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
    Act;
     
  (2) Domino's, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it elects
  to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or     
     
  (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of
  Default with respect to the exchange notes.     
   
In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for
Certificated Notes upon request but only upon prior written notice given to the
trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases,
Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial
interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved
denominations, requested by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with its
customary procedures.     
 
Same Day Settlement and Payment
   
The indenture requires that payments in respect of the exchange notes
represented by the Global Notes, including principal, premium, if any, and
interest, be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the holder of the Global Note. With respect to exchange
notes in certificated form, Domino's will make all payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by the     
 
                                       71
<PAGE>
 
   
holders of such exchange notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing
a check to each such holder's registered address. The exchange notes
represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in the
PORTAL market and to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any
permitted secondary market trading activity in such exchange notes will,
therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds.
Domino's expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be
settled in immediately available funds.

                               The Exchange Offer
 
Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer
   
We originally sold the notes to J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Goldman, Sachs
& Co. (the "initial purchasers") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated
December 21, 1998. The initial purchasers subsequently resold the notes to
qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act. As a condition to the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration
rights agreement with the initial purchasers in which we agreed to:     
     
  (1) file a registration statement registering the exchange notes with the
  Commission within 90 days after the original issuance of the notes;     
     
  (2) use our best efforts to have the registration statement relating to the
  exchange notes declared effective by the Commission within 150 days after
  the original issuance of the notes;     
     
  (3) unless the exchange offer would not be permitted by applicable law or
  Commission policy, commence the offer and use our best efforts to issue
  within 30 business days after the date on which the registration statement
  relating to the exchange notes was declared effective by the Commission,
  exchange notes in exchange for all notes tendered prior to the expiration
  date; and     
     
  (4) if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, use our best
  efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission within
  90 days after such filing obligation arises, to cause the shelf
  registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission within
  150 days after such obligation arises and to use its best efforts to keep
  effective the shelf registration statement for at least two years after the
  original issuance of the notes or such shorter period that will terminate
  when all securities covered by the shelf registration statement have been
  sold pursuant to the shelf registration statement.     
   
We have agreed to keep our offer open for not less than 20 business days, or
longer if required by applicable law, after the date on which notice of the
offer is mailed to the holders of the notes. The registration rights agreement
also requires us to include in the prospectus for the offer information
necessary to allow broker-dealers who hold notes, other than notes purchased
directly from us or one of our affiliates, to exchange such notes pursuant to
the offer and to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements in connection
with resales of the exchange notes received by such broker-dealers in the
offer.     
   
This prospectus covers the offer and sale of the exchange notes pursuant to
this offer and the resale of exchange notes received in the offer by any
broker-dealer who held notes other than notes purchased directly from us or one
of our affiliates.     
   
For each note surrendered to us pursuant to this offer, the holder of such note
will receive an exchange note having a principal amount equal to that of the
surrendered note. Interest on each exchange note will accrue from the date of
issuance of such exchange note. The holders of notes that are accepted for
exchange will receive, in cash, accrued interest on such notes to, but not
including, the issuance date of the exchange notes. Such interest will be paid
with the first interest payment on the exchange notes. Interest on the notes
accepted for exchange will cease to accrue upon issuance of the exchange notes.
       
Under existing interpretations of the staff of the Commission contained in
several no-action letters to third parties, we believe the exchange notes would
in general be freely tradeable after the offer without further registration
under the Securities Act. Any purchaser of the notes, however, who is either an
"affiliate" of Domino's, a broker-dealer who purchased notes directly from us
or one of our affiliates for resale, or who intends to participate in the offer
for the purpose of distributing the exchange notes:     
     
  (1) will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the staff of the
  Commission;     
     
  (2) will not be able to tender its notes in the offer; and     
     
  (3) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
  of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the notes,
  unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such
  requirements.     
   
We have has agreed to file with the Commission a shelf registration statement
to cover resales of the notes by holders who satisfy certain conditions
relating to the provision of information in connection with the shelf
registration statement if:     
     
  (1) we are not required to file the registration statement for the exchange
  offer or permitted to consummate the exchange offer because it is not
  permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or     
 
                                       85
<PAGE>
 
     
  (2) any holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies us prior to the
  20th day following consummation of the exchange offer that:     
 
    (a) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in
    such offer;
       
    (b) that it may not resell the exchange notes acquired by it in the offer
    to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus
    contained in the registration statement relating to the exchange offer is
    not appropriate or available for such resales; or     
       
    (c) that it is a broker-dealer that purchased notes directly from us or
    one of our affiliates for resale.     
   
For purposes of the foregoing, "Transfer Restricted Securities" means each
note until the earliest to occur of:     
     
  (1) the date on which such note has been exchanged by a person other than a
  broker-dealer for an exchange note;     
     
  (2) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in this offer of a note for
  an exchange note, the date on which such exchange note is sold to a
  purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer before the date of such sale
  a copy of the prospectus contained in the registration statement relating
  to the exchange offer;     
     
  (3) the date on which such note has been effectively registered under the
  Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the shelf registration
  statement; or     
     
  (4) the date on which such note is distributed to the public pursuant to
  Rule 144 under the Securities Act.     
   
We will pay liquidated damages to each holder of notes if:     
     
  (1) we fail to file any of the registration statements on or before the
  date specified for such filing;     
 
  (2) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the
  Commission before the date specified for such effectiveness (the
  "Effectiveness Target Date");
     
  (3) we fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the
  Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the registration statement
  relating to the exchange offer ;     
 
  (4) the shelf registration statement or the registration statement relating
  to the exchange offer is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be
  effective or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted
  Securities during the periods specified in the registration rights
  agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above a
  "Registration Default").
   
The amount of liquidated damages will be $.05 per week per $1,000 in principal
amount of notes held by each holder, with respect to the first 90-day period
immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default.
Liquidated damages will increase by $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount
of notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration
Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all
Registration Defaults of $.50 per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
We will pay all accrued liquidated damages on each interest payment date in
the manner provided for the payment of interest in the indenture. Following
the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages will
cease.     
   
Each holder of notes, other than certain specified holders, who wishes to
exchange notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will be required to
make certain representations, including that:     
     
  (1) it is not an affiliate of Domino's;     
     
  (2) any exchange notes to be received by it were acquired in the ordinary
  course of its business; and     
     
  (3) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the
  distribution of the exchange notes.     
   
If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own
account in exchange for notes that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities, it will be required to acknowledge
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
exchange notes.     
   
The Commission has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may
fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the exchange
notes, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of
the notes, with a prospectus contained in the registration statement relating
to the exchange offer. Under the registration rights agreement, we are
required to allow broker-dealers to use the prospectus contained in the
registration statement relating to this offer in connection with the resale of
such exchange notes.     
 
                                      86
<PAGE>
 
   
We will, in the event of the filing of a shelf registration statement, provide
to each holder of notes eligible to participate in such shelf registration
statement copies of the prospectus which is a part of the shelf registration
statement, notify each such holder when the shelf registration statement for
the notes has become effective and take certain other actions as are required
to permit resales of the notes. A holder of notes that sells such notes
pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally will be required to be
named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus and to deliver a
prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability
provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be
bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement which are
applicable to such a holder, including certain indemnification obligations. In
addition, each such holder will be required to deliver information to be used
in connection with the shelf registration statement and to provide comments on
the shelf registration statement within the time periods set forth in the
registration rights agreement in order to have their notes included in the
shelf registration statement and to benefit from the provisions regarding
liquidated damages.     
 
Terms of the Exchange Offer
   
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and
the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept all notes validly
tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We
will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each
$1,000 principal amount of outstanding notes accepted in the offer. Holders may
tender some or all of their notes pursuant to this offer in integral multiples
of $1,000.     
   
The form and terms of the exchange notes are identical to the notes except for
the following:     
     
  (1) the exchange notes bear a Series B designation and a different CUSIP
  number from the notes;     
     
  (2) the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and,
  therefore, will not bear legends restricting their transfer; and     
     
  (3) the holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to certain
  rights under the registration rights agreement, including the provisions
  providing for an increase in the interest rate on the notes in certain
  circumstances relating to the timing of the offer, all of which rights will
  terminate when this offer is terminated.     
   
The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the notes and will be
entitled to the benefits of the indenture under which the notes were issued. As
of the date of this prospectus, $275 million aggregate principal amount of the
notes is outstanding. Solely for reasons of administration and no other reason,
we have fixed the close of business on May   , 1999 as the record date for the
exchange offer for purposes of determining the persons to whom this prospectus
and the letter of transmittal will be mailed initially. Only a registered
holder of notes, or such holder's legal representative or attorney-in-fact, as
reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture may participate in
the exchange offer. There will be no fixed record date, however, for
determining registered holders of the notes entitled to participate in the
exchange offer.     
   
The holders of notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or the indenture in connection with the
exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act.     
   
We shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered notes when, as and if it
has given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange
agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving
the exchange notes from us.     
   
If any tendered notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid
tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth in this prospectus or
otherwise, the certificates for any such unaccepted notes will be returned,
without expense, to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the
expiration date.     
   
Those holders who tender notes in the exchange offer will not be required to
pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter
of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of notes. We will
pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes, in
connection with the exchange offer. See "--Fees and Expenses."     
 
Expiration Dates; Extensions; Amendments
   
The term "expiration date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May   ,
1999 unless we, in our sole discretion, extend this offer, in which case the
term "expiration date" shall mean the latest date to which this offer is
extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not extend the expiration date
beyond June, 1999.     
 
                                       87
<PAGE>
 
   
We have no current plans to extend the exchange offer. In order to extend the
expiration date, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or
written notice and will make a public announcement of such extension, in each
case prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the
previously scheduled expiration date.     
   
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to:     
     
  (1) delay accepting any notes;     
     
  (2) extend this offer; or     
     
  (3) terminate the offer,     
   
if any of the conditions set forth below under "--Conditions of the Exchange
Offer" shall not have been satisfied, in each case by giving oral or written
notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent, and to
amend the terms of this offer in any manner. Any such delay in acceptance,
extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable
by a public announcement of such matter. If the exchange offer is amended in a
manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly
disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be
distributed to the registered holders of the notes and the offer will be
extended for a period of five to ten business days, as required by law,
depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure
to the registered holders, assuming the exchange offer would otherwise expire
during such five to ten business day period.     
   
Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcement
of any delay, extension, termination or amendment of its offer, we shall not
have an obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such
public announcement other than by making a timely release of such announcement
to the Dow Jones News Service.     
   
Interest on the Exchange Notes     
   
The exchange notes will bear interest from their date of issuance. Interest is
payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on July
15, 1999, at the rate of 10 3/8% per annum. The holders of notes that are
accepted for exchange will receive, in cash, accrued interest on such notes to,
but not including, the issuance date of the exchange notes. Such interest will
be paid with the first interest payment on the exchange notes. Consequently,
holders who exchange their notes for exchange notes will receive the same
interest payment on July 15, 1999, which is the first interest payment date
with respect to the notes and the exchange notes, that they would have received
had they not accepted the exchange offer. Interest on the notes accepted for
exchange will cease to accrue upon issuance of the exchange notes.     
 
Procedures for Tendering
   
Only a registered holder of notes may tender such notes in this offer. To
effectively tender in the offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the
letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, have the signatures thereon
guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise
deliver such letter of transmittal or such facsimile, together with the notes
and any other required documents, to the exchange agent at the address set
forth below under "--Exchange Agent" for receipt prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the expiration date. Delivery of the notes also may be made by
book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described below. If you
are effecting delivery by book-entry transfer, then:     
     
  (1) confirmation of such book-entry transfer must be received by the
  exchange agent prior to the expiration date; and     
     
  (2) you must also transmit to the exchange agent on or prior to the
  expiration date, a computer-generated message transmitted by means of the
  Automated Tender Offer Program System of the Depository Trust Company in
  which you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of
  transmittal and which, when received by the exchange agent, forms a part of
  the confirmation of book-entry transfer.     
   
By executing the letter of transmittal or effecting delivery by book-entry
transfer, each holder is making to us those representations set forth under the
heading "--Resale of the Exchange Notes."     
   
The tender by a holder of notes will constitute an agreement between such
holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.     
   
The method of delivery of outstanding notes and the letter of transmittal and
all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and sole
risk of the holder. As an alternative to delivery by mail, holders may wish to
consider overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time
should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent     
 
                                       88
<PAGE>
 
   
before the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or notes should be sent to
Domino's. Holders may request that their respective brokers, dealers,
commercial banks, trust companies or nominees effect the above transactions for
such holders.     
   
Only a registered holder of notes may tender such notes in connection with this
offer. The term "holder" with respect to this offer means any person in whose
name notes are registered on the books of Domino's, any other person who has
obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, or any
person whose notes are held of record by DTC who desires to deliver such notes
by book-entry transfer at DTC.     
   
Any beneficial owner whose notes are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to
tender should promptly contact the person in whose name your notes are
registered and instruct such registered holder to tender on your behalf. If, as
a beneficial owner, you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to
completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your notes,
either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the notes in your
name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The
transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.     
   
Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (defined below) unless the notes tendered
are tendered (1) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled
"Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the
letter of transmittal or (2) for the account of an Eligible Institution. In the
event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as
the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be by a
participant in a recognized signature guarantee medallion program within the
meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an "Eligible Institution").
       
If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered
holder of any notes listed therein, such notes must be endorsed or accompanied
by a properly completed bond powers, signed by such registered holder as such
registered holder's name appears on such notes with the signature on such bond
powers guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.     
   
If the letter of transmittal or any notes or bond powers are signed by
trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such
persons should so indicate when signing, and submit with the letter of
transmittal evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.     
   
We understand that the exchange agent will make a request, promptly after the
date of this prospectus, to establish accounts with respect to the notes at the
book-entry transfer facility of DTC for the purpose of facilitating this
exchange offer, and subject to the establishment of these accounts, any
financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility
system may make book-entry delivery of notes by causing the transfer of such
notes into the exchange agent's account with respect to the notes in accordance
with DTC's procedures for such transfer. Although delivery of the notes may be
effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at the
book-entry transfer facility, unless the holder complies with the procedures
described in the following paragraph an appropriate letter of transmittal
properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantee and
all other required documents must in each case be transmitted to and received
or confirmed by the exchange agent at its address set forth below before the
expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be
complied with. The delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility
does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.     
   
The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that the exchange offer is eligible
for the Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") of DTC. Accordingly, DTC
participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of this offer by
causing DTC to transfer notes to the exchange agent in accordance with the
procedures for transfer established under ATOP. DTC will then send an Agent's
Message to the exchange agent. The term "Agent's Message" means a message
transmitted by DTC, which when received by the exchange agent forms part of the
confirmation of a book-entry transfer, and which states that DTC has received
an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering notes which are
the subject of such book-entry confirmation that such participant has received
and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and that
Domino's may enforce such agreement against such participant. In the case of an
Agent's Message relating to guaranteed delivery, the term means a message
transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent which states that DTC has
received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering notes
that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of
guaranteed delivery.     
   
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt,
acceptance and withdrawal of the tendered notes will be determined by us in our
sole discretion, which determinations will be final and binding. We reserve the
absolute right to reject any and all notes not validly tendered or any notes
the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We
also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects, irregularities or
conditions of tender as to     
 
                                       89
<PAGE>
 
   
particular notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the
exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will
be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or
irregularities in connection with tenders of notes must be cured within such
time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or
irregularities with respect to the tenders of notes, neither we, the exchange
agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such
notification. Tenders of notes will not be deemed to have been made until such
defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any notes received by the
exchange agent that are not validly tendered and as to which the defects or
irregularities have not been cured or waived, or if notes are submitted in a
principal amount greater than the principal amount of notes being tendered by
such tendering holder, such unaccepted or non-exchanged notes will be returned
by the exchange agent to the tendering holders (or, in the case of notes
tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at the book-
entry transfer facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures
described above, such unaccepted or non-exchanged notes will be credited to an
account maintained with such book-entry transfer facility), unless otherwise
provided in the letter of transmittal designated for such notes, as soon as
practicable following the expiration date.     
 
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
   
Those holders who wish to tender their notes and:     
     
  (1) whose notes are not immediately available; or     
     
  (2) who cannot deliver their notes, the letter of transmittal or any other
  required documents to the exchange agent before the expiration date; or
         
  (3) who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer before the
  expiration date,     
   
may effect a tender if:     
 
  (1) the tender is made through an Eligible Institution;
     
  (2) before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such
  Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of
  guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery,
  setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number or
  numbers of such notes and the principal amount of notes tendered, stating
  that the tender is being made thereby, and guaranteeing that, within five
  business days after the expiration date, either (a) the letter of
  transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the certificate(s)
  representing the notes and any other documents required by the letter of
  transmittal, will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the
  exchange agent or (b) that a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such
  notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, will be delivered to the
  exchange agent; and     
     
  (3) either (a) such properly completed and executed letter of transmittal,
  or facsimile thereof, together with the certificate(s) representing all
  tendered notes in proper form for transfer and all other documents required
  by the letter of transmittal or (b) if applicable, confirmation of a book-
  entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, are actually
  received by the exchange agent within five business days after the
  expiration date.     
   
Upon request to the exchange agent, a notice of guaranteed delivery will be
sent to holders who wish to tender their notes according to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth above.     
 
Withdrawal of Tenders
   
Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of notes may be withdrawn at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.     
   
To effectively withdraw a tender of notes in the exchange offer, the exchange
agent must receive a telegram, telex, letter or facsimile transmission notice
of withdrawal at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the expiration date. Any such notice of withdrawal must:     
     
  (1) specify the name of the person having deposited the notes to be
  withdrawn;     
     
  (2) identify the notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number or
  numbers and the aggregate principal amount of such notes or, in the case of
  notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the
  account at DTC to be credited;     
     
  (3) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on
  the letter of transmittal by which such notes were tendered, including any
  required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfers
      
                                       90
<PAGE>
 
     
  sufficient to permit the trustee with respect to the notes to register the
  transfer of such notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender;
  and     
     
  (4) specify the name in which any such notes are to be registered, if
  different from that of the person depositing the notes.     
   
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of such notices will be determined by us, and our determination shall
be final and binding on all parties. Any notes so withdrawn will be deemed not
to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no
exchange notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the notes so
withdrawn are validly retendered. Any notes which have been tendered but which
are not accepted for exchange due to the rejection of the tender due to uncured
defects or the prior termination of the exchange offer, or which have been
validly withdrawn, will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such
holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or
termination of the offer. Properly withdrawn notes may be retendered by
following one of the procedures described above under "--Procedures for
Tendering" at any time prior to the expiration date.     
 
Conditions of the Exchange Offer
   
The offer is subject to the condition that the offer, or the making of any
exchange by a holder, does not violate applicable law or any applicable
interpretation of the staff of the Commission. If there has been a change in
policy of the Commission such that in the reasonable opinion of our counsel
there is a substantial question whether the offer is permitted by applicable
federal law, we have agreed to seek a no-action letter or other favorable
decision from the Commission allowing us to consummate the offer.     
   
If we determine that the offer is not permitted by applicable federal law, we
may terminate the offer. In connection such termination we may:     
     
  (1) refuse to accept any notes and return any notes that have been tendered
  by the holders thereof;     
     
  (2) extend the offer and retain all notes tendered prior to the expiration
  date, subject to the rights of such holders of tendered notes to withdraw
  their tendered notes; or     
     
  (3) waive such termination event with respect to the offer and accept all
  properly tendered notes that have not been properly withdrawn.     
   
If such waiver constitutes a material change in the offer, we will disclose
such change by means of a supplement to this prospectus that will be
distributed to each registered holder of notes, and we will extend the offer
for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of
the waiver, if the offer would otherwise expire during such period.     
 
Exchange Agent
   
IBJ Whitehall Bank & Trust Company, the trustee under the indenture governing
the notes, has been appointed as exchange agent for the offer. Questions and
requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or
the letter of transmittal and requests for the notice of guaranteed delivery
should be directed to the exchange agent addressed as follows:     
 
<TABLE>

    Attention: Corporate Finance Trust Services
   Facsimile Transmission:(212) 858-2952
   Confirm by Telephone:(212) 858-2657
</TABLE>
 
  Any requests or deliveries to an address or facsimile number other than as
set forth above will not constitute a valid delivery.
 
Fees and Expenses
   
We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation for
tenders is being made by mail. Additional solicitations, however, may be made
by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates in person, by
telegraph or telephone.     
 
 
                                       91
<PAGE>
 
   
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the offer and will
not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting
acceptances of the offer. We will pay the exchange agent, however, reasonable
and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the exchange agent for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the offer.     
   
We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the offer. Such
expenses include fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the trustee,
accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others.     
   
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of the notes
pursuant to the offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason
other than the exchange of the notes pursuant to the offer, then the amount of
any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other
persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of
payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter
of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to
such tendering holder.     
 
Accounting Treatment
   
The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the notes,
which is face value as reflected in our accounting records on the date of
exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting
purposes. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the term of
the exchange notes.     
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
   
The notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant to this offer will
remain transfer restricted securities. Accordingly, such notes may be resold
only as follows:     
     
  (1) to us, upon redemption thereof or otherwise;     
     
  (2) (a) so long as the notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A,
  to a person inside the United States whom the seller reasonably believes is
  a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
  Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b)
  in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (c) pursuant to
  another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
  and based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us;     
 
  (3) outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting
  the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or
 
  (4) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
  Act.
   
Resale of the Exchange Notes     
   
Based on no-action letters issued by the staff of the Commission to third
parties, we believe the exchange notes issued pursuant to the offer in exchange
for the notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by
any holder (other than (1) a broker-dealer who purchased such notes directly
from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under
the Securities Act or (2) a person that is an "affiliate" of ours within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the
registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act,
provided, however, that the holder is acquiring the exchange notes in its
ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the
exchange notes. In the event that our belief is inaccurate, holders of exchange
notes who transfer exchange notes in violation of the prospectus delivery
provisions of the Securities Act and without an exemption from registration
thereunder may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume or
indemnify holders against such liability.     
   
If, however, any holder acquires exchange notes in this offer for the purpose
of distributing or participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, such
holder cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Commission enunciated in
the referenced no-action letters or any similar interpretive letters, and must
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction, unless an exemption
from registration is otherwise available. Further, each participating broker-
dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for notes,
where such notes were acquired by such participating broker-dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that
it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange
notes. Although a broker-dealer may be an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act, the letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging
and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit
that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This
prospectus, as it may amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by
a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in
exchange for notes.

As contemplated by these no-action letters and the registration rights
agreement, each holder tendering notes in this offer is required to represent
to us in the letter of transmittal, that, among things:     
     
  (1) the person receiving the exchange notes pursuant to this offer, whether
  or not such person is the holder, is receiving them in the ordinary course
  of business;     
     
  (2) neither the holder nor any such other person has an arrangement or
  understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such
  exchange notes and that such holder is not engaged in, and does not intend
  to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes;     
     
  (3) neither the holder nor any such other person is an "affiliate" of ours
  within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;     
     
  (4) the holder acknowledges and agrees that:     
       
    (a) any person participating in this offer for the purpose of
    distributing the exchange notes must comply with the registration and
    prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection
    with a secondary resale transaction with respect to the exchange notes
    acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of
    the Commission set forth in no-action letters that are discussed above
    and under the heading "--Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer;" and
           
    (b) any broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account
    in exchange for notes pursuant to this offer must deliver a prospectus
    in connection with any resale of such exchange notes, but by so
    acknowledging, the holder shall not be deemed to admit that, by
    delivering a prospectus, it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
    the Securities Act; and     
              
  (5) the holder understands that a secondary resale transaction described in
  clause (4)(a) above should be covered by an effective registration
  statement containing the selling securityholder information required by
  Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Commission.     
   
This offer is not being made to, and we will not accept surrenders for exchange
from, holders of the outstanding notes in any jurisdiction in which this offer
or its acceptance would not comply with the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdiction.     
   
All resales must be made in compliance with state securities or "blue sky"
laws. Such compliance may require that the exchange notes be registered or
qualified in a state or that the resales be made by or through a licensed
broker-dealer, unless exemptions from these requirements are available. We
assume no responsibility with regard to compliance with these requirements.

                       Certain Federal Tax Considerations
 
Scope of Discussion
   
This general discussion of certain United States federal income and estate tax
consequences applies to you if you acquired outstanding notes at original issue
for cash and you exchange those notes for exchange notes in this offer. This
discussion only applies to you if you hold the exchange notes as a "capital
asset," generally, for investment, under Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This summary, however, does not consider
state, local or foreign tax laws. In addition, it does not include all of the
rules which may affect the United States tax treatment of your investment in
the exchange notes. For example, special rules not discussed here may apply to
you if you are:     
     
  (1) a broker-dealer, a dealer in securities or a financial institution;
         
  (2) an S corporation;     
     
  (3) an insurance company;     
     
  (4) a tax-exempt organization;     
     
  (5) subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;     
     
  (6) holding the exchange notes as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk
  reduction or constructive sale transaction; or     
     
  (7) a nonresident alien or foreign corporation subject to net-basis United
  States federal income tax on income or gain derived from an exchange note
  because such income or gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a
  United States trade or business.     
 
This discussion only represents our best attempt to describe certain federal
income tax consequences that may apply to you based on current United States
federal tax law. This discussion may in the end inaccurately describe the
federal income tax consequences which are applicable to you because the law may
change, possibly retroactively, and because the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") or any court may disagree with this discussion.
 
This summary may not cover your particular circumstances because it does not
consider foreign, state or local tax rules, disregards certain federal tax
rules, and does not describe future changes in federal tax rules. Please
consult your tax advisor rather than relying on this general description.
 
United States Holders
 
If you are a "United States Holder," as defined below, this section applies to
you. Otherwise, the next section, "Non-United States Holders," applies to you.
   
Definition of United States Holder. You are a "United States Holder" if you
hold the notes and you are:     
     
  (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien
  individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets
  the "substantial presence" test under Section 7701(b) of the Code;     
     
  (2) a corporation or partnership created or organized in the United States
  or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision;
         
  (3) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal
  income tax regardless of its source; or     
     
  (4) a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over
  the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons can
  control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if the trust was in
  existence on August 20, 1996 and has properly elected to continue to be
  treated as a United States person.     
   
Receipt of Exchange Notes. Because the economic terms of the exchange notes and
the notes are identical, your exchange of notes for exchange notes under this
offer will not constitute a taxable exchange of the notes. Even if you received
exchange notes in exchange for notes on which additional interest was paid
because of a registration default, the exchange would not be taxable because
the exchange would occur by operation of the notes' original terms. As a
result:     
     
  (1) you will not recognize taxable gain or loss when you receive exchange
  notes in exchange for notes;     
     
  (2) your holding period in the exchange notes will include your holding
  period in the notes; and     
 
 
                                       94
<PAGE>
 
     
  (3) your basis in the exchange notes will equal your basis in the notes.
         
Taxation of Stated Interest. You must generally pay federal income tax on the
interest on the exchange notes:     
     
  (1) when it accrues, if you use the accrual method of accounting for United
  States federal income tax purposes; or     
     
  (2) when you receive it, if you use the cash method of accounting for
  United States federal income tax purposes.     
   
Redemption and Repurchase Rights. As described elsewhere in this prospectus, we
may under certain circumstances be required to repurchase the exchange notes
and we have the option to redeem some or all of the exchange notes under
specific circumstances.     
   
Based on our current expectations, the chance that we will repurchase or redeem
the exchange notes is remote. Accordingly, we intend to take the position that
the payments contingent on the repurchase or redemption of the exchange notes
do not, as of the issue date, cause the exchange notes to have original issue
discount ("OID") and do not affect the yield to maturity or the maturity date
of the exchange notes. You may not take a contrary position unless you disclose
your contrary position in the proper manner to the IRS.     
 
You should consult your tax adviser with respect to the contingent payments
described above. If, contrary to our expectations, we repurchase or redeem the
notes, or if the IRS takes the position that the contingent payments described
were not remote as of the issue date, the amount and timing of interest income
you must include in taxable income may have to be redetermined.
   
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Exchange Notes. You must recognize
taxable gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other
taxable disposition of an exchange note. The amount of your gain or loss equals
the difference between the amount you receive for the exchange note (in cash or
other property, valued at fair market value), minus the amount attributable to
accrued interest on the exchange note, minus your adjusted tax basis in the
exchange note. Your initial tax basis in an exchange note equals the price you
paid for the outstanding note which you exchanged for the exchange note.     
   
Your gain or loss will generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if your
holding period in the exchange note is more than one year. Otherwise, it will
be a short-term capital gain or loss. Payments attributable to accrued interest
which you have not yet included in income will be taxed as ordinary interest
income.     
   
Backup Withholding. You may be subject to a 31% backup withholding tax when you
receive interest payments on the exchange note or proceeds upon the sale or
other disposition of an exchange note. Certain holders, including, among
others, corporations and tax-exempt organizations, are generally not subject to
backup withholding. In addition, the 31% backup withholding tax will not apply
to you if you provide your taxpayer identification number ("TIN") in the
prescribed manner unless:     
     
  (1) the IRS notifies us or our agent that the TIN you provided is
  incorrect;     
     
  (2) you fail to report interest and dividend payments that you receive on
  your tax return and the IRS notifies us or our agent that withholding is
  required; or     
     
  (3) you fail to certify under penalties of perjury that you are not subject
  to backup withholding.     
 
If the 31% backup withholding tax does apply to you, you may use the amounts
withheld as a refund or credit against your United States federal income tax
liability as long as you provide certain information to the IRS.
 
Non-United States Holders
   
Definition of Non-United States Holder. A "Non-United States Holder" is any
person other than a United States Holder. If you are subject to United States
federal income tax on a net basis on income or gain with respect to an exchange
note because such income or gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a
United States trade or business, this disclosure does not cover the United
States federal tax rules that apply to you.     
 
                                       95
<PAGE>
 
Interest.
   
Portfolio Interest Exemption. You will generally not have to pay United States
federal income tax on interest (or OID on the exchange notes, if any) paid on
the exchange notes because of the "portfolio interest exemption" if either:
       
  (1) you represent that you are not a United States person for United States
  federal income tax purposes and you provide your name and address to us or
  our paying agent on a properly executed IRS Form W-8, or a suitable
  substitute form, signed under penalties of perjury; or     
     
  (2) a securities clearing organization, bank, or other financial
  institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its
  business holds the exchange note on your behalf, certifies to us or our
  agent under penalties of perjury that it has received IRS Form W-8, or a
  suitable substitute, from you or from another qualifying financial
  institution intermediary, and provides a copy to us or our agent.     
 
You will not, however, qualify for the portfolio interest exemption described
above if:
     
  (1) you own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined
  voting power of all classes of our capital stock;     
     
  (2) you are a controlled foreign corporation with respect to which we are a
  "related person" within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code; or
         
  (3) you are a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
  the Code.     
   
Withholding Tax if the Interest Is Not Portfolio Interest. If you do not claim,
or do not qualify for, the benefit of the portfolio interest exemption, you may
be subject to 30% withholding tax on interest payments made on the exchange
notes. However, you may be able to claim the benefit of a reduced withholding
tax rate under an applicable income tax treaty. The required information for
claiming treaty benefits is generally submitted under current regulations on
Form 1001. Successor forms will require additional information, as discussed
below. See "Non-United States Holders--New Withholding Regulations."     
 
Reporting. We may report annually to the IRS and to you the amount of interest
paid to, and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to you.
   
Sale or Other Disposition of the Exchange Notes. You will generally not be
subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on gain
recognized on a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement, or other disposition of
an exchange note. You may, however, be subject to tax on such gain if:     
     
  (1) you are an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days
  or more in the taxable year of the disposition, in which case you may have
  to pay a United States federal income tax of 30%, or a reduced treaty rate
  if applicable, on such gain, and you may also be subject to withholding
  tax; or     
     
  (2) you are an individual who is a former citizen or resident of the United
  States, your loss of citizenship or residency occurred within the last ten
  years (and, if you are a former resident, on or after February 6, 1995),
  and you had as one of your principal purposes the avoidance of United
  States tax, in which case you will be taxable on the net gain derived from
  the sale under the graduated United States federal income tax rates that
  are applicable to United States citizens and resident aliens, and you may
  be subject to withholding under certain circumstances.     
   
Even if you are an individual described in one of the two paragraphs above, you
will not recognize gain subject to United States federal income tax as a result
of exchanging notes for exchange notes under this offer. See the more complete
discussion above under "United States Holders--Receipt of Exchange Notes."     
   
United States Federal Estate Taxes. If you qualify for the portfolio interest
exemption under the rules described above when you die, the exchange notes will
not be included in your estate for United States federal estate tax purposes.
    
Back-up Withholding and Information Reporting.
 
Payments From United States Office. If you receive payments of interest or
principal directly from us or through the United States office of a custodian,
nominee, agent or broker, there is a possibility that you will be subject to
both backup withholding at a rate of 31% and information reporting.
 
                                       96
<PAGE>
 
   
With respect to interest payments made on the exchange note, however, back-up
withholding and information reporting will not apply if you certify, generally
on a Form W-8 or substitute form, that you are not a United States person in
the manner described above. See "Non-United States Holders--Interest."     
   
Moreover, with respect to proceeds received on the sale, exchange, redemption,
or other disposition of an exchange note, back-up withholding or information
reporting generally will not apply if you properly provide, generally on Form
W-8 or a substitute form, a statement that you are an "exempt foreign person"
for purposes of the broker reporting rules, and other required information. If
you are not subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on the
sale or other disposition of an exchange note, as described above under the
heading "Non-United States Holders--Sale or Other Disposition of Exchange
Notes," you will generally qualify as an "exempt foreign person" for purposes
of the broker reporting rules.     
   
Payments From Foreign Office. If payments of principal and interest are made to
you outside the United States by or through the foreign office of your foreign
custodian, nominee or other agent, or if you receive the proceeds of the sale
of an exchange note through a foreign office of a "broker," as defined in the
pertinent United States Treasury Regulations, you will generally not be subject
to backup withholding or information reporting. You will, however, be subject
to backup withholding and information reporting if the foreign custodian,
nominee, agent or broker has actual knowledge or reason to know that the payee
is a United States person. You will also be subject to information reporting,
but not backup withholding, if the payment is made by a foreign office of a
custodian, nominee, agent or broker that is a United States person or a
controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes,
or that derives 50% or more of its gross income from the conduct of a United
States trade or business for a specified three year period, unless the broker
has in its records documentary evidence that you are a Non-United States Holder
and certain other conditions are met.     
 
Refunds. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be
refunded or credited against the Non-United States Holder's United States
federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the IRS.
 
New Withholding Regulations. New regulations relating to withholding tax on
income paid to foreign persons (the "New Withholding Regulations") will
generally be effective for payments made after December 31, 1999, subject to
certain transition rules. The New Withholding Regulations modify and, in
general, unify the way in which you establish your status as a non-United
States "beneficial owner" eligible for withholding exemptions including the
portfolio interest exemption, a reduced treaty rate or an exemption from backup
withholding. For example, the new regulations will require new forms, which you
will generally have to provide earlier than you would have had to provide
replacements for expiring existing forms.
   
The New Withholding Regulations clarify withholding agents' reliance standards.
They also require additional certifications for claiming treaty benefits. For
example, you may be required to provide a TIN, and you may have to certify that
you "derive" the income with respect to which the treaty benefit is claimed
within the meaning of applicable regulations. The New Withholding Regulations
also provide somewhat different procedures for foreign intermediaries and flow-
through entities, such as foreign partnerships, to claim the benefit of
applicable exemptions on behalf of non-United States beneficial owners for
which or for whom they receive payments. The New Withholding Regulations also
amend the foreign broker office definition as it applies to partnerships.     
 
The New Withholding Regulations are complex and this summary does not
completely describe them. Please consult your tax advisor to determine how the
New Withholding Regulations will affect your particular circumstances.

                              Plan of Distribution
   
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to
this offer in exchange for outstanding notes which were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, may be used by any such broker-dealer in connection with resales
of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes. We have agreed
that for a period of 180 days after this offer is completed, we will make this
prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any such broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. All resales must be made in compliance
with state securities or blue sky laws. We assume no responsibility with regard
to compliance with these requirements.     
   
We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of the exchange notes by
broker-dealers. The exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own
account pursuant to this offer may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions,
through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale
may be made directly to the purchaser or to or through brokers or dealers who
may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any
such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any
broker-dealer that resells the exchange notes that were received by it for its
own account pursuant to this offer and any broker or dealer that participates
in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of
exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons
may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The
letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by
delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is
an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.     
   
For a period of 180 days after this offer is completed, we will promptly send
additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this
prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of
transmittal.     
   
We have been advised by J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes, that following completion of
this offer they intend to make a market in the exchange notes. Such entities,
however, are under no obligation to do so and any market activities with
respect to the exchange notes may be discontinued at any time.

                             AVAILABLE INFORMATION
   
We and our subsidiary guarantors have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-
4 under the Securities Act with respect to the exchange notes. This prospectus,
which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the

documents filed as exhibits to the registration statement. Each such statement
is qualified in all respects by such reference.     
   
We are not currently subject to the periodic reporting and other informational
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have agreed that,

will furnish to the holders of the exchange notes and, if permitted, will file
with the Commission:

      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report
      on such information by our certified independent accountants; and

                    Report of Independent Public Accountants
 
To Domino's, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Domino's, Inc.
(a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 28, 1997 and January
3, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, stockholder's equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended January 3, 1999. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 Domino's, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 28, 1997 and January 3, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended January 3, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the accompanying
index is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Domino's, Inc. (formerly known as Domino's Pizza International Payroll
Services, Inc.) (Domino's), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. Domino's is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
TISM, Inc. (the Parent).
 
Parent's Recapitalization
On December 21, 1998, the Parent effected a merger with TM Transitory Merger
Corporation (TMTMC) in a leveraged recapitalization transaction whereby TMTMC
was merged with and into the Parent with the Parent being the surviving entity
(the Recapitalization). TMTMC had no operations and was formed solely for the
purpose of effecting the Recapitalization. As part of the Recapitalization, the
Company incurred significant debt and distributed significantly all of the
proceeds to the Parent, which used those proceeds, along with proceeds from the
issuance of two classes of common stock and one class of preferred stock, to
fund the purchase of 93% of the outstanding common stock of the Parent from a
Company Director and certain members of his family.
 
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement under which it is committed to pay a Company Director and former
majority Parent stockholder $1 million in fiscal 1999 and an additional $4.5
million over nine years beginning in fiscal 2000. The entire $5.5 million has
been recorded as a charge to retained earnings as a component of purchase price
for the common stock.
 
As part of the Recapitalization, certain Company executives received stock
options for the purchase of Parent common stock and preferred stock.
 
Prior to December 1998, Domino's was an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPI). During December 1998 and before the
Recapitalization, DPI distributed its ownership interest in Domino's to the
Parent. The Parent then contributed its ownership interest in DPI, which had
been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, to Domino's, effectively
converting Domino's from a subsidiary of DPI into DPI's parent.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of operations of DPI and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Domino's) for the periods prior to the
Recapitalization.
 
Domino's amended its charter in December 1998 to increase the total number of
authorized shares of common stock from 1,000 to 3,000 and decreased the par
value of these shares from $1.00 per share to $0.01 per share. Shares of common
stock issued and outstanding were 10 for the years ended December 29, 1996,
December 28, 1997 and January 3, 1999.
 
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The 1996
fiscal year ended December 29, 1996; the 1997 fiscal year ended December 28,
1997; and the 1998 fiscal year ended January 3, 1999. Each of the fiscal years
consists of fifty-two weeks except for fiscal year 1998 which consists of
fifty-three weeks.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
 
Inventories at December 28, 1997 and January 3, 1999 are comprised of the
following (In thousands):

</TABLE>
 
Notes Receivable
During the normal course of business, the Company often provides financing to
franchisees (i) to stimulate new franchise store growth, (ii) to finance the
sale of corporate stores to franchisees and (iii) to facilitate rapid new
equipment rollouts. Substantially all of the related notes receivable require
monthly payments of principal and interest, or monthly payments of interest
only, generally ranging from 8% to 14%, with balloon payments of the remaining
principal due one to ten years from the original issuance date. Such notes are
generally secured by the assets sold. In financing these transactions, the
Company derives benefits other than interest income. Given the nature of these
borrower/lender relationships, the Company, in essence, makes its own market in
these notes. The carrying amounts of these notes approximate fair value.
 
During 1998, the Company modified certain criteria it uses to determine
allowance for bad debts for notes receivable. As a result of this change, the
Company recognized a benefit for losses on notes receivable of approximately
$3.7 million during fiscal 1998 which is reflected in the accompanying 1998
consolidated statement of income.
 
Plant and Equipment
Additions to plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for
financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Such lives are generally
three to seven years for equipment, twenty years for buildings and
improvements, three years for vehicles and five years or the term of the lease
including renewal options, whichever is shorter, for leasehold and other
improvements. Depreciation expense was approximately $11,798,000, $13,358,000
and $16,593,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
Investments in Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
 
As of December 28, 1997, the Company had investments in marketable securities
of $5,597,000, comprised of both debt and equity securities. These investments
were classified as available-for-sale and were stated at aggregate fair value
in the accompanying 1997 consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains at
December 28, 1997 were $536,000 and unrealized losses were $69,000, both net of
tax. For purposes of determining realized gains and losses, the cost of
securities sold is based upon the specific identification method.
 
The Company had placed these investments in "rabbi trusts", whereby the amounts
were irrevocably set aside to fund the Company's obligations under its
nonqualified executive and managerial deferred compensation plans (Note 5).
These plans were terminated during 1998 and all related investments in
marketable securities were sold with the proceeds being paid to the
participants in the plans.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs include debt issuance costs primarily incurred by the
Company as part of the Recapitalization. Amortization is provided using the
effective interest rate method over the terms of the respective debt
instruments to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense in
the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
                                      F-9

                        Domino's, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
 
 
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company paid financing costs to affiliates
of Parent stockholders of approximately $21.1 million. Approximately $14.4
million of these expenditures were treated by the Company as capitalizable
deferred financing costs while approximately $6.7 million of these expenditures
were made on behalf of the Parent and were treated as distributions to the
Parent.
 
Goodwill and Covenants Not-to-Compete
Goodwill arising primarily from franchise acquisitions has been recorded at
cost and is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods not
exceeding twenty years. Amortization of goodwill was approximately $901,000,
$1,437,000 and $1,957,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
Covenants not-to-compete, primarily obtained as a part of the Recapitalization
(Note 7), have been recorded at cost and are being amortized using an
accelerated method over a three year period for the covenant not-to-compete
with a Company Director and former majority Parent stockholder. Other covenants
not-to-compete are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods
not exceeding twenty years. Amortization of covenants not-to-compete was
approximately $668,000, $756,000 and $2,222,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
 
Management reviews the realizability of goodwill and covenants not-to-compete
annually by comparing the future cash flows expected to result from these
assets to the carrying amounts of the related assets.
 
Capitalized Software
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use", which requires entities to capitalize and
amortize certain costs and currently expense certain other costs incurred for
software developed or obtained for internal use. Adoption of this SOP did not
have a significant impact on the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
 
Capitalized software is recorded at cost and includes purchased, internally
developed and externally developed software used in the Company's operations.
Amortization for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, which range from
two to seven years. Amortization expense was approximately $1,472,000, $823,000
and $1,978,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
Other Assets
Other assets primarily include equity investments in international franchisees,
organizational costs, deposits and other intangibles primarily arising from
franchise acquisitions. Amortization of organizational costs and other
intangibles is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the amortizable assets. Amortization expense was approximately
$647,000, $564,000 and $376,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
Other Accrued Liabilities
Current and long-term other accrued liabilities primarily include accruals for
sales, income and other taxes, legal reserves, marketing and advertising
expenses, store operating expenses, deferred revenues, deferred compensation
and a consulting fee payable to a Company Director and former majority Parent
stockholder.
 
Revenue Recognition
Corporate store revenues are comprised of retail sales of food through Company-
owned stores located in the contiguous U.S. and are recognized when the food is
delivered to or carried out by customers.
 
Domestic franchise royalties are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from
franchisees with operations in the contiguous U.S. and are recognized as
revenue when earned.
 
Domestic distribution revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and
supplies to franchised stores located in the contiguous U.S. and are recognized
as revenue upon shipment of the related products to franchisees.
 
International revenues are primarily comprised of sales of food and royalties
and fees from foreign, Alaskan and Hawaiian franchisees and are recognized
consistently with the policies applied for revenues generated in the contiguous
U.S.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
 
 
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was
approximately $38.1 million, $40.5 million and $41.2 million during 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Self-Insurance
The Company is partially self-insured for property and health insurance risks
and, for periods up to December 20, 1998, was partially self-insured for
workers' compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned auto programs.
 
The Company's health insurance program provides coverage for life, medical,
dental and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) claims. Self-insurance
limitations for medical and dental per a covered individual's lifetime were
$2.0 million in 1996, 1997 and 1998. The AD&D and life insurance components of
the health insurance program are fully insured by the Company through third-
party insurance carriers.
 
Effective July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, the self-insurance limitations
per occurrence for the workers' compensation, general liability and owned and
non-owned auto programs were $500,000, plus a one-time otherwise recoverable
amount of $500,000 in excess of $500,000 on the combined general liability,
owned and non-owned auto programs and an additional one-time otherwise
recoverable amount of $350,000 in excess of $1.0 million on the combined owned
and non-owned auto programs.
 
Effective July 1, 1996 through December 19, 1998, the self-insurance
limitations per occurrence for the workers' compensation, general liability and
owned and non-owned auto programs were $500,000, plus a one-time otherwise
recoverable amount of $500,000 in excess of $500,000 on the combined general
liability, owned and non-owned auto programs for each policy year, except for
the period from July 1, 1998 through December 19, 1998 for which there was no
otherwise recoverable amount.
 
Total excess insurance limits for all periods were $105.0 million per
occurrence under the workers' compensation, general liability and owned and
non-owned auto programs.
 
Self-insurance reserves are determined using actuarial estimates. These
estimates are based on historical information along with certain assumptions
about future events. Changes in assumptions for such things as medical costs
and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these
estimates to change in the near term. In management's opinion, the accrued
insurance reserves at January 3, 1999 are sufficient to cover potential
aggregate losses.
 
Paid claims under the Company's self-insurance programs were $23.3 million in
1996, $20.0 million in 1997 and $23.4 million in 1998. Total insurance expense
was approximately $25.3 million, $20.0 million and $15.9 million in 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively, and is included in cost of sales in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income. During 1998, the Company reduced self-
insurance reserves by $6.7 million due to a reduction in the actuarial
calculations. This reduction in expense is reflected in the 1998 insurance
expense amount above.
 
As of January 3, 1999, the Company had deposits totaling approximately $1.0
million with the Company's third-party insurance claims administrator. This
amount is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
 
During December 1998, the Company entered into a guaranteed cost, combined
casualty insurance program that is effective for the period December 20, 1998
to December 20, 2001. The new program covers insurance claims on a first dollar
basis for workers' compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned auto
liability. Total insurance limits under the new program are $106.0 million per
occurrence for general liability and owned and non-owned auto liability and up
to the applicable statutory limits for workers' compensation. Under this
program and as of January 3, 1999, the Company is required to make minimum
premium payments of approximately $9.6 million during the first year of the
policy period.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
 
 
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's foreign entities use their local currency or the U.S. dollar as
the functional currency, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52,
"Foreign Currency Translation." Where the functional currency is the local
currency, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at yearend
exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at average
exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of
stockholder's equity (deficit) and other foreign currency transaction gains and
losses are included in determining net income.
 
Financial Derivatives
Subsequent to January 3, 1999, the Company entered into two interest-rate swap
agreements (the 1999 Swap Agreements) to effectively convert the Eurodollar
component of the interest rate on a portion of the Company's debt under Term
Loans A, B and C (Note 2) to a fixed rate of 5.12% beginning in January 1999
and continuing through December 2001, in an effort to reduce the impact of
interest rate changes on income. The total notional amount under the 1999 Swap
Agreements is initially $179 million and decreasing over time to a total
notional amount of $167 million in December 2001.
 
As a result of generating royalty revenues from franchised operations in Japan,
the Company is exposed to the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the
Japanese yen and U.S. dollar. During 1995, the Company entered into contracts
to sell 12,200,000 Japanese yen every two weeks, which expired in December
1996. During 1996, the Company entered into contracts to sell 36,000,000
Japanese yen every four weeks, which expired in December 1997. During 1997, the
Company entered into contracts to sell 35,000,000 Japanese yen every four
weeks, which expired in December 1998. During 1998, the Company entered into
contracts to sell 30,000,000 Japanese yen every four weeks, which will expire
in December 1999.
 
Using foreign currency forward contracts enables management to minimize the
effect of a fluctuating Japanese yen on its reported income. Gains and losses
with respect to these contracts are recognized in income at each balance sheet
date based on the exchange rate in effect at that time. No significant gains or
losses were recognized under these contracts during 1996, 1997 or 1998. The
carrying value of these contracts approximates fair value.
 
Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information
The Company paid interest of approximately $6.2 million, $3.9 million and $4.6
million during 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, cash paid for
Federal income taxes was approximately $10.0 million in 1996 and approximately
$2.7 million in 1998. No cash was paid for Federal income taxes in 1997.
   
During 1998, the Company made non-cash distributions to the Parent of
approximately $16.6 million representing the Company's investment in a related
party limited partnership and approximately $2.6 million representing various
leaseholds and other assets. The Company also assumed a $5.5 million consulting
agreement liability from the Parent during 1998.     
 
Comprehensive Income
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive
income is defined as the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in
equity. The Company adopted this Statement in 1997. Adoption of this Statement
only affects the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Segment Reporting
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which supercedes SFAS
No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise", replacing
the "industry segment" approach of reporting segment information with the
"management" approach. The "management" approach designates the internal
organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and
assessing performance as the source of the reportable segments. The Company
adopted this Statement in 1998. Adoption of this Statement only affects the
presentation of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. This Statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management has not yet
quantified the impact, if any, of adopting this Statement.
   
Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities     
   
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities", which
requires entities to expense the costs of start-up activities, including
organizational costs, when incurred. The Company is required to adopt this
Statement in fiscal year 1999. The adoption of this SOP will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements or its operations.     
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from fiscal 1996 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform to
the fiscal 1998 presentation.

On November 24, 1997, DPI refinanced all obligations remaining under a
previously existing credit facility through a new credit agreement (the 1997
Agreement). The 1997 Agreement provided a $93 million six-year unsecured
revolving credit facility, of which up to $35 million was available for letter
of credit advances. On December 21, 1998, all outstanding borrowings and
accrued interest under the 1997 Agreement were repaid in full and the 1997
Agreement was terminated.
 
On December 21, 1998, Domino's and a subsidiary entered into a new credit
agreement (the 1998 Agreement) with a consortium of banks primarily to finance
a portion of the Recapitalization, to repay existing indebtedness under the
1997 Agreement and to provide available borrowings for use in the normal course
of business.
 
The 1998 Agreement provides the following credit facilities: three term loans
(Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan C) and a revolving credit facility (the
Revolver). The aggregate borrowings available under the 1998 Agreement are
$545 million.

The 1998 Agreement provides for borrowings of $175 million under Term Loan A,
$135 million under Term Loan B and $135 million under Term Loan C. Under the
terms of the 1998 Agreement, the borrowings under Term Loans A, B and C bear
interest, payable at least quarterly, at either (i) the higher of (a) the
specified bank's prime rate (7.75% at January 3, 1999) and (b) 0.5% above the
Federal Reserve reported overnight funds rate, each plus an applicable margin
of between 0.50% to 2.75% or (ii) the Eurodollar rate (5.25% at January 3,
1999) plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% to 3.75%, with margins
determined based upon the Company's ratio of indebtedness to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined. At January
3, 1999, the Company's effective borrowing rates were 8.25%, 8.75% and 9.00%
for Term Loans A, B and C, respectively. As of January 3, 1999, all borrowings
under Term Loans A, B and C were under Eurodollar contracts with interest
periods of 90 days. Principal payments are required under Term Loans A, B and
C, commencing at varied dates and continuing quarterly thereafter until
maturity. The final scheduled principal payments on the outstanding borrowings
under Term Loans A, B and C are due in December 2004, December 2006 and
December 2007, respectively.
 
The 1998 Agreement also provides for borrowings of up to $100 million under the
Revolver, of which up to $35.0 million is available for letter of credit
advances and $10.0 million is available for swing-line loans. Borrowings under
the Revolver (excluding the letters of credit and swing-line loans) bear
interest, payable at least quarterly, at either (i) the higher of (a) the
specified bank's prime rate (7.75% at January 3, 1999) and (b) 0.5% above the
Federal Reserve reported overnight funds rate, each plus an applicable margin
of between 0.50% to 2.00% or (ii) the Eurodollar rate (5.25% at January 3,
1999) plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% to 3.00%, with margins
determined based upon the Company's ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA, as
defined. Borrowings under the swing-line portion of the Revolver bear interest,
payable at least quarterly, at the higher of (a) the specified bank's prime
rate (7.75% at January 3, 1999) and (b) 0.5% above the Federal Reserve reported
overnight funds rate, each plus an applicable margin of between 0.50% to 2.00%
based upon the Company's ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined. At
January 3, 1999, the Company's effective borrowing rate on swing-line loans was
9.75%. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the
Revolver ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%, determined based upon the Company's ratio
of indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined. At January 3, 1999 the commitment fee
for such unused borrowings was 0.50%. The fee for letter of credit amounts
outstanding at January 3, 1999 was 3.25%. As of January 3, 1999 there were
$87.5 in available borrowings under the Revolver, with $10.8 million of letters
of credit and $1.7 million of swing-line borrowings outstanding. The Revolver
expires in December 2004.
 
The credit facilities included in the 1998 Agreement are (i) guaranteed by the
Parent, (ii) jointly and severally guaranteed by each of Domino's domestic
subsidiaries and (iii) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of
the assets of the Company.
 
The 1998 Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants that,
among other things, require the maintenance of minimum interest coverage ratios
and consolidated adjusted EBITDA and maximum leverage ratios, all as defined in
the 1998 Agreement, and restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends on or
redeem or repurchase the Company's capital stock, incur additional
indebtedness, issue preferred stock, make investments, use assets as security
in other transactions and sell certain assets or merge with or into other
companies.
 
On December 21, 1998, Domino's issued $275 million of 10 3/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the Notes) requiring semi-annual interest payments
beginning July 15, 1999. Prior to January 15, 2002, the Company may redeem, at
a fixed price, up to 35% of the Notes with the proceeds of equity offerings, if
any, by the Parent or the Company. Before January 15, 2004, Domino's may redeem
all, but not part, of the Notes if a change in control occurs, as defined in
the Notes. Beginning January 15, 2004, Domino's may redeem some or all of the
Notes at fixed redemption prices, ranging from 105.1875% of par in 2004 to 100%
of par in 2007 and thereafter. In the event of a change of control, as defined
in the Notes, Domino's will be obligated to repurchase Notes tendered by the
holders at a fixed price. The Notes are guaranteed by each of Domino's domestic
subsidiaries (non-domestic subsidiaries do not represent a material amount of
revenues and assets) and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing
and future senior debt of the Company.
 
The indenture related to the Notes restricts Domino's and its restricted
subsidiaries from paying dividends or redeeming equity interests (including
those of the Parent), with certain specified exceptions, unless a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio is met and such payments are limited to 50% of cumulative
net income of the Company from January 4, 1999 to the payment date plus the net
proceeds from any capital contributions or the sale of equity interests.

Legal Proceedings and Related Matters
The Company is a party to lawsuits, revenue agent reviews by taxing authorities
and legal proceedings, of which the majority involve workers' compensation,
employment practices liability, general liability, automobile and franchisee
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the
Company's management, these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company, and the established reserves adequately provide for
the estimated resolution of such claims.
 
(4) Income Taxes
 
For fiscal year 1996, Domino's and its qualifying subsidiaries filed a
consolidated Federal C Corporation income tax return with the Parent. Under the
terms of a tax-sharing agreement with the Parent, the Company recorded its
Federal income tax provision and liability as if it filed its own consolidated
Federal income tax return. Domino's and its qualifying subsidiaries and the
Parent elected S Corporation status, effective December 30, 1996, whereby the
taxable income of the Company was included in the income tax returns of the
Parent's shareholders. Accordingly, the tax benefit of deferred tax deductions
would not accrue to the Company but rather to the Parent's shareholders. Due to
the S Corporation election, the Company's 1996 provision for income taxes
includes an additional $8.2 million to fully reserve its net deferred tax asset
as of December 29, 1996.
 
As a result of the Recapitalization, the Parent, Domino's and its qualifying
subsidiaries reverted to C Corporation status effective December 21, 1998 and
will file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The Company recorded its
Federal income tax provision and related liability for the last two weeks of
fiscal year 1998 as if it filed its own consolidated

Federal income tax return in accordance with a December 1998 tax-sharing
agreement. As such, the amounts classified as deferred tax assets in the
accompanying 1998 consolidated balance sheet are receivable from the Parent as
the ultimate taxpayer. The Company has recorded its net deferred tax asset
position on the effective date of C Corporation conversion. These amounts are
reflected in the accompanying 1998 consolidated balance sheet and statement of
income.
 
Just prior to the Recapitalization, certain Domino's subsidiaries sold certain
tangible and intangible assets to another Domino's subsidiary, which had
revoked its S Corporation election. The gain on this transaction, while not
reflected for financial reporting purposes, resulted in a Federal deferred tax
asset to the Company of $54 million due to the difference in book and tax
bases. This amount is reflected in deferred tax assets in the accompanying 1998
consolidated balance sheet and was credited directly to retained earnings in
accordance with EITF 94-10.
 
The differences between the United States Federal statutory income tax rate of
35% and the consolidated effective income tax rate for fiscal year 1996 and for
fiscal year 1998 (only two weeks of which was a C Corporation period) are
summarized as follows (In thousands):

During 1996, deferred income taxes arose from temporary differences in the
recognition of certain items for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
 
During 1997, the Company reversed certain tax reserves for Federal income tax
exposures it believed no longer exist. The amount of the reserves reversed was
approximately $7.4 million and is included in the accompanying 1997
consolidated statement of income.

During 1998, deferred income taxes arose primarily from the basis difference
created by the intercompany asset sale and the reversion to C Corporation
status referred to above.
 
Realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is dependent upon many
factors, including, but not limited to, the ability of the Company to generate
sufficient taxable income. Although realization of the Company's deferred tax
assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax assets will be realized. On an ongoing basis, management will
assess whether it remains more likely than not that the deferred tax assets
will be realized.

(5) Employee Benefits
 
The Company has a deferred salary reduction plan which qualifies under Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(k). All full-time salaried and certain hourly
employees of the Company who have completed one year of service and are at
least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan. Such employees
may be able to participate in the plan after only 6 months of service if they
are employed in a position regularly scheduled to work at least 1,000 hours
annually. The plan requires the employer to match 50% of the first 6% of
employee contributions per participant. These matching contributions vest
immediately. The charges to operations for Company contributions to the plan
were $883,000, $1,183,000 and $2,449,000 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
Through December 20, 1998, the Company also had a nonqualified executive
deferred compensation plan (the executive plan) available for certain
executives and other key employees and a nonqualified managerial deferred
compensation plan (the managerial plan) available for certain managerial
employees. Under the executive plan, certain eligible executives could defer up
to 25% of their annual compensation, and all other eligible participants could
defer up to 20% of their annual compensation. Under the managerial plan,
certain eligible employees could defer up to 15% of their annual

compensation. Both plans required a Company match of either 30% of employee
contributions per participant or the Company match percentage under the Company
401(k) plan, whichever was less, with additional Company contributions
permitted at the discretion of the Company. Both plans also required the
Company to credit each participant's account monthly at an annualized rate
equal to the prime rate of interest, as defined, plus 2%. The charges to
operations for Company contributions to these plans, including interest, were
$757,000, $1,326,000 and $1,883,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
liability under these plans of approximately $6.0 million is included in long-
term liabilities in the accompanying 1997 consolidated balance sheet. The
Company terminated both the executive plan and the managerial plan and paid out
the related liabilities on December 20, 1998.
 
Effective January 4, 1999, the Company established a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan available for the members of the Company's executive team,
certain other key executives and certain managerial employees. Under this plan,
the participants may defer up to 40% of their annual compensation. The plan
requires the Company to match 30% with respect to the first 15%, 20%, or 25% of
participant salary deferrals, depending on the employee. The plan requires the
Company to credit the participants' accounts following each pay period. The
Company may be required to make supplemental contributions to participants'
accounts depending on the earnings of the Company as defined in the plan. The
participants direct the investment of their deferred compensation within seven
mutual funds.
 
(6) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
The Company is party to stand-by letters of credit with off-balance sheet risk.
The Company's exposure to credit loss for stand-by letters of credit and
financial guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of these
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Total conditional
commitments under letters of credit as of January 3, 1999, net of $2.4 million
of a letter of credit for which the Company has recorded a liability on the
accompanying 1998 consolidated balance sheet, are $8.4 million.
 
(7) Related Party Transactions
 
Leases
The Company leases its corporate headquarters under a long-term operating lease
agreement with a partnership owned by a Company Director and former majority
Parent stockholder. The current lease, dated December 21, 1998, replaced a
previous lease agreement with the same partnership. The Company also leased two
commissary locations from partnerships owned by this Company Director and
former majority Parent stockholder and his family during 1996, 1997 and until
August 1998 when the Company purchased the commissaries and terminated the
respective leases. Total lease expense for the aforementioned leases was $14.4
million, $13.8 million and $13.6 million for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
the majority of which is included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
The Company was party to an agreement with an affiliated company which was
owned by a Company Director and former majority Parent stockholder and members
of his family, whereby the Company obtained a 50% limited partner interest in a
real estate partnership which owns certain land surrounding the Company's
corporate headquarters. The Company accounted for this investment using the
equity method, whereby the original investment was recorded at cost and was
adjusted by the Company's share of the partnership's undistributed earnings and
losses, based on a formula defined in the agreement. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company leased certain of the land owned by the partnership.
Total lease expense was $1.2 million for 1996, $1.3 million for 1997 and $1.4
million for 1998. In December 1998, the Company distributed its investment in
the partnership to the Parent.

Charitable Contributions
The Company made contributions of approximately $5.6 million, $6.8 million and
$7.7 million in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, to a charitable foundation
founded and operated by a Company Director and former majority Parent
stockholder. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Covenant Not-to-Compete
As part of the Recapitalization, the Parent entered into a covenant not-to-
compete with its former majority stockholder and current Company Director. The
Parent contributed this asset to the Company during 1998. The Company has
capitalized the $50 million paid in consideration for the covenant not-to-
compete and is amortizing this amount over the three-year term of the covenant
using an accelerated amortization method. Amortization expense for 1998 was
approximately $1,282,000. The net asset amount is included in covenants not-to-
compete in the accompanying 1998 consolidated balance sheet.
 
Management Agreement
As part of the Recapitalization, the Parent and its subsidiaries (collectively,
the Group) entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of a
stockholder of the Parent to provide the Group with certain management
services. The Company is committed to pay an amount not to exceed $2.0 million
per year on an ongoing basis for management services as defined in the
management agreement. The Company made a prepayment of $0.5 million in 1998
related to these ongoing managerial services for 1999. Furthermore, the Group
must allow the affiliate to participate in the negotiation and consummation of
future senior financing and pay the affiliate a fixed fee, as defined in the
management agreement.
 
 
(8) Segment Data
 
The Company has three reportable segments as determined by management using the
"management" approach as defined in SFAS No. 131: (1) Domestic Stores, (2)
Domestic Distribution and (3) International. The Company's operations are
organized by management on the combined bases of line of business and
geography. The Domestic Stores segment includes Company operations with respect
to all franchised and Company-owned Domino's Pizza stores throughout the
contiguous United States. The Domestic Distribution segment includes the
distribution of food, equipment and supplies to franchised and Company-owned
Domino's Pizza stores throughout the contiguous United States. The
International segment includes Company operations related to its franchising
business in foreign and non-contiguous United States markets and its food
distribution business in Canada, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii.
 
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and
allocates resources to them based on EBITDA.

(10) Pro Forma Financial Data (Unaudited)
 
The following unaudited pro forma financial data is presented to illustrate the
estimated effects on net income if the Company had not elected S Corporation
status for fiscal year 1997 and substantially all of fiscal year 1998.
Management estimates that the provision for income taxes would have increased
and net income would have decreased by approximately $18.0 million in 1997 and
approximately $18.9 million in 1998 had the Company remained a C Corporation
for those periods.

                                    PART II
 
                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 20 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and by-laws of each of Domino's,
Inc. and Domino's Pizza International, Inc. provide that each corporation shall
indemnify its respective directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted
from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL").
 
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further
provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in
any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
 
Section 102(b)(7) permits a corporation to include in its certificate of
incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a
director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however, that such provision shall
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which relates
to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchases and redemptions,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
 
The by-laws of each of Domino's Pizza, Inc., Metro Detroit Pizza, Inc. and
Domino's Franchise Holding Co. provide that each such corporation shall
indemnify its respective directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by the Michigan Business Corporation Act. Section
450.1561 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or
informal, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
whether for profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or
proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation or its shareholders, and with respect to a criminal action or
proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.
 
Section 450.1562 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act further provides that
a corporation may indemnify any such person serving in such capacity who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment its favor, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or
its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made for a claim,
issue or matter in which the person has been found liable to the corporation
except to the extent authorized by the court upon application for
indemnification pursuant to Section 450.1564c.

The Articles of Incorporation of Domino's Pizza International Payroll Services,
Inc. empowers the corporation to broadly indemnify its directors and officers.
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act permits a corporation
to indemnify, in a case-by-case determination) any person who is or was a party
to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or serving in such a capacity at
the request of the corporation for another corporation, or other specified
business entity, in which such person acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reason to believe his conduct was unlawful, for the amount of liability
incurred in connection with such proceeding and any appeal thereof.

Item 22 Undertakings.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrants, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether or not such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
 
  (1) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
  concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
  that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when
  it became effective.
 
  (2) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
    (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933.
 
    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
    effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
    effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a
 
                                      II-4
<PAGE>
 
    fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
    statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
    volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
    offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
    from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be
    reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
    to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
    represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
    offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
    in the effective registration statement.
 
    (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
  (3) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide offering thereof.
 
  (4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
  of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
  of the offering.
