Morgans Foods, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTERS ENDED MAY 22, 2005 AND MAY 23, 2004
(unaudited) Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The interim consolidated financial statements of Morgans Foods, Inc. (the Company) have
been prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company Management, all adjustments have been
included. Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. These unaudited
financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in
preparation of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 2005. Note 2. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss)
per common share is based on the combined weighted average number of shares outstanding, which
includes the assumed exercise or conversion of options. In computing diluted net income (loss) per
common share, the Company has utilized the treasury stock method. For the quarters ended May 22,
2005 and May 23, 2004, 275,000 and 286,500 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. Note 3. (Gain) Loss on Restaurant Assets. The Company experienced a gain on restaurant assets of $255,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 compared to a loss of $270,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The 2006 amount
is primarily due to the receipt of $261,000 of property damage and business interruption insurance
proceeds. These insurance proceeds relate to three restaurants damaged from the Hurricane Ivan
storm system. Insurance proceeds which will result in a gain are recognized in the financial
statements only when such gains are realized, which is generally upon receipt of the proceeds. The
2005 amount includes impairment losses of $266,000 on three restaurants to reduce their carrying
values to their estimated fair values. Note 4. Debt. The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage loans and the maintenance of
individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed quarterly,
based upon financial results for the preceding twelve months. At the end of fiscal 2005 and the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated ratio or with
individual restaurant ratios relating to a substantial portion of its debt. As of the year ended
February 27, 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006, waivers of the fixed charge coverage ratio
violations were not obtained from the lenders. Due to noncompliance with the fixed charge coverage
ratios and as required by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 86-30, the Company has classified all of
its debt as current as of February 27, 2005 and May 22, 2005. As described below, the Company has
initiated an operational and financial
restructuring process which 6

##### Table of Contents



management believes, but cannot assure, will allow the Company to
satisfy the lenders without a forced repayment of the debt prior to its scheduled maturities. On November 30, 2004, the Company announced an organizational restructuring and discussions
with its lenders which the Company believes will lead to a financial restructuring. Both actions,
which are described below, are intended to substantially improve cash flow for the Company. Weak
revenues and cash flows in the first quarter ended May 23, 2004 caused by a failed new product
introduction by the Companys KFC franchisor were compounded by the flooding of two of the
Companys more profitable restaurants in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Both of the flooded
restaurants reopened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. As a result of the above mentioned
items, the Companys cash balances in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 were projected to drop
below the levels considered adequate to fund cash obligations during the traditionally low revenue
winter months. The organizational and financial restructurings were initiated to provide both the
short term cash flow improvements necessary to navigate the difficult winter season and the
permanent cash flow improvements to allow the Company to function appropriately. Organizational and Operational Restructuring.The organizational restructuring contains
several elements. First, substantial cost reduction measures were put in place for both restaurant
and administrative operations. Early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, three senior officers
of the Company reduced their salaries and other benefits to near zero while the remainder of the
Companys executive team and some of its management took pay cuts. These salary and benefit
reductions reduced expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 approximately $130,000. The
Company is assessing the timing and extent of restoring some or all of these reductions. Second,
on November 24, 2004, the Company completed previously planned closures of three unprofitable
restaurants (two in the St. Louis market and one in the Pittsburgh market) which improved cash flow
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and first quarter of 2006. Last, several members of
management were reassigned and several positions were eliminated. The Companys Vice President of
Operations Services is now directly responsible for the operation of all restaurants and the
Companys former Director of Operations was reassigned to the extremely challenging Missouri market
to streamline supervision and improve operations of those restaurants. Also, several restaurant
supervision and support positions were eliminated. As a result of these organizational
restructuring activities and successful product promotions by the franchisors in the fourth
quarter, the Company recorded positive operating income and operating cash flows in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006 which represents a significant
improvement over the prior year comparable results. As indicated above, some of these operational
improvements are intended to be temporary measures (e.g., salary and benefit reductions). The
Company cannot assure that the other organizational changes described above and future product
promotions by the franchisors will yield sustained improvement of future operating results.
Accordingly, the Company continues to pursue the financial restructuring described below. Financial Restructuring. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2005, the Company has engaged
in discussions with its three primary lenders with the intent of securing short term, temporary
reductions in its debt service payments to conserve cash and to allow the Company to execute
sale/leaseback financing on a number of its owned restaurant properties. On February 7, 2005, the
Company reduced its debt service payments to interest only on loans with one lender representing
approximately 50% of the principal balance of all of the Companys loans. The Company expects to
continue this reduced payment schedule until the financial restructuring is completed. Scheduled
principal payments that have not been paid total approximately $110,000 per month. The Company has
received a letter of understanding from this lender, acknowledging the financial restructuring and
confirming its intent to negotiate a formal agreement of forbearance. As of July 6, 2005,
negotiation of a forbearance agreement has been initiated but not completed. Accordingly, the
reduced payment schedule remains an event of default although the Company has no reason to 7

##### Table of Contents



believe
that the lender intends to
take actions permitted by such default. On April 12, 2005 the Company signed an Agreement of
Sale relating to a sale/ leaseback of ten of its restaurants; however, the prepayment penalty on
the mortgage debt for nine of these ten restaurants must be waived for the transaction to be
financially viable for the Company. On June 13, 2005 the sale leaseback transaction for the one
restaurant that did not require a mortgage debt prepayment penalty to be waived was completed and
the Company received net proceeds of $912,000 on this transaction. The remaining sale leaseback
transactions, if successful, will generate proceeds to prepay a portion of the Companys debt and
in cash flow improvement as a result of rent payments being lower than the related debt service
payments. Management expects that it will be able to complete the financial restructuring
successfully and is encouraged by the improved financial results generated by the previously
disclosed organizational restructuring. Nonetheless, given the level of the Companys indebtedness
and other demands on its cash resources, there can be no assurance that the Companys lenders will
consent to the restructuring, that the restructuring will be accomplished, or that other actions
might not be taken by creditors that would impede the Companys ability to satisfy its obligations. The Companys reduced debt payment schedule and covenant violations discussed above could
result in the exercise of certain remedies available to the lender which may include calling of the
debt, acceleration of payments or foreclosure on the Companys assets which secure the debt. The
Companys other lenders have similar remedies available to them based on covenant violations and
the cross default provisions of those debt agreements. The lenders have not initiated any of these
remedies and management believes, but cannot assure, that these actions will not be taken prior to
the Company completing the financial restructuring described above. However, the recurring losses
from operations and shareholders deficiency that the Company has sustained result in significant
uncertainty as to the Companys ability to complete the financial restructuring if the lenders
initiate these remedies. Consequently, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern and therefore, if applicable, the Company may be unable to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.

 Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended May 22, 2005 were $20,760,000 compared to
$18,343,000 for the quarter ended May 23, 2004. This increase of $2,417,000 was primarily due to a
15.6% increase in comparable restaurant revenues which was partially offset by $285,000 in revenues
lost due to the closing of three restaurants. The increase in comparable restaurant revenues was
primarily the result of effective product promotions by the franchisors during the quarter
including the $.99 KFC snacker sandwich. Costs of Sales  Food, Paper and Beverages. Food, paper and beverage costs for the
first quarter increased as a percentage of revenue from 30.4% in fiscal 2005 to 30.9% in fiscal
2006. This increase was primarily the result of the $.99 KFC snacker sandwich having relatively
high food costs which was partially offset by efficiencies generated from higher average restaurant
volumes. Cost of Sales  Labor and Benefits. Labor and benefits decreased as a percentage of
revenue for the quarter ended May 22, 2005 to 25.7% compared to 29.9% for the year earlier quarter.
The decrease was primarily due to efficiencies resulting from higher average restaurant volumes
and decreased health care costs of $296,000. Restaurant Operating Expenses. Restaurant operating expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenue to 24.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 26.1% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily due to efficiencies resulting from higher
average restaurant volumes as well as reduced general insurance costs of $73,000 which were
partially offset by increased bonus expense of $201,000 resulting from the Companys substantially
improved performance. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was relatively unchanged
at $750,000 and $783,000 for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased
from $1,273,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $1,151,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2006 primarily as a result of three senior officers of the Company reducing their salaries and
other benefits to near zero while the remainder of the Companys executive team and some of its
management took pay cuts during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 which continued into the first
quarter of fiscal 2006. (Gain) Loss on Restaurant Assets. The Company experienced a gain on restaurant assets
of $255,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to a loss of $270,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2005. The 2006 amount is primarily due to the receipt of $261,000 of property
damage and business interruption insurance proceeds. These insurance proceeds relate to three
restaurants damaged from the Hurricane Ivan storm system. Insurance proceeds which will result in
a gain are recognized in the financial statements only when such gains are realized, which is 9

generally upon receipt of the proceeds. The 2005 amount includes impairment losses of $266,000 on three
restaurants to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values. Operating Income. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 increased to
$2,234,000 or 10.8% of revenues compared to $183,000 or 1.0% of revenues for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to efficiencies resulting from higher
average restaurant volumes, decreased health care costs and the receipt of $261,000 in property
insurance proceeds discussed above. Interest Expense. Interest expense on bank debt decreased to $995,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 from $1,036,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 due to lower debt
balances during the fiscal 2006 quarter. Interest expense on capitalized leases was substantially
unchanged from the prior year first quarter. Other Income. Other income was substantially unchanged at $29,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 and $17,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 and 2005 was zero due to the Companys net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and
its operating loss carryforwards which will be used to offset the Companys fiscal 2006 net income,
if achieved. Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash flow activity for the first quarters of fiscal
2006 and fiscal 2005 is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash provided by
operating activities was $2,530,000 for the quarter ended May 22, 2005 and $67,000 for the quarter
ended May 23, 2004. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due the
Companys increased profitability during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company paid bank
and capitalized lease debt of $433,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and had Capital
expenditures of $465,000 primarily as a result of expenditures required to repair one fire-damaged
restaurant the majority of which either has or will be recovered through property insurance. The Companys debt arrangements require the maintenance of a consolidated fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1 regarding all of the Companys mortgage loans and the maintenance of
individual restaurant fixed charge coverage ratios of between 1.2 and 1.5 to 1 on certain of the
Companys mortgage loans. The consolidated and individual coverage ratios are computed quarterly,
based upon financial results for the preceding twelve months. At the end of fiscal 2005 and the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated ratio or with
individual restaurant ratios relating to a substantial portion of its debt. As of the year ended
February 27, 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006, waivers of the fixed charge coverage ratio
violations were not obtained from the lenders. Due to noncompliance with the fixed charge coverage
ratios and as required by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 86-30, the Company has classified all of
its debt as current as of February 27, 2005 and May 22, 2005. As described below, the Company has
initiated an operational and financial restructuring process which management believes, but cannot
assure, will allow the Company to satisfy the lenders without a forced repayment of the debt prior
to its scheduled maturities. On November 30, 2004, the Company announced an organizational restructuring and discussions
with its lenders which the Company believes will lead to a financial restructuring. Both actions,
which are described below, are intended to substantially improve cash flow for the Company. Weak
revenues and cash flows in the first quarter ended May 23, 2004 caused by a failed new product
introduction by the Companys KFC franchisor were compounded by the flooding of two of the
Companys more profitable restaurants in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Both of the flooded
restaurants reopened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. As a result of the above mentioned
items, the Companys cash balances in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 were projected to drop 10

below the levels considered adequate to fund cash obligations during the traditionally low
revenue winter months. The organizational and financial restructurings were initiated to provide
both the short term cash flow improvements necessary to navigate the difficult winter season and
the permanent cash flow improvements to allow the Company to function appropriately. Organizational and Operational Restructuring.The organizational restructuring contains
several elements. First, substantial cost reduction measures were put in place for both restaurant
and administrative operations. Early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, three senior officers
of the Company reduced their salaries and other benefits to near zero while the remainder of the
Companys executive team and some of its management took pay cuts. These salary and benefit
reductions reduced expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 approximately $130,000. The
Company is assessing the timing and extent of restoring some or all of these reductions. Second,
on November 24, 2004, the Company completed previously planned closures of three unprofitable
restaurants (two in the St. Louis market and one in the Pittsburgh market) which improved cash flow
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and first quarter of 2006. Last, several members of
management were reassigned and several positions were eliminated. The Companys Vice President of
Operations Services is now directly responsible for the operation of all restaurants and the
Companys former Director of Operations was reassigned to the extremely challenging Missouri market
to streamline supervision and improve operations of those restaurants. Also, several restaurant
supervision and support positions were eliminated. As a result of these organizational
restructuring activities and successful product promotions by the franchisors in the fourth
quarter, the Company recorded positive operating income and operating cash flows in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006 which represents a significant
improvement over the prior year comparable results. As indicated above, some of these operational
improvements are intended to be temporary measures (e.g., salary and benefit reductions). The
Company cannot assure that the other organizational changes described above and future product
promotions by the franchisors will yield sustained improvement of future operating results.
Accordingly, the Company continues to pursue the financial restructuring described below. Financial Restructuring. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2005, the Company has engaged
in discussions with its three primary lenders with the intent of securing short term, temporary
reductions in its debt service payments to conserve cash and to allow the Company to execute
sale/leaseback financing on a number of its owned restaurant properties. On February 7, 2005, the
Company reduced its debt service payments to interest only on loans with one lender representing
approximately 50% of the principal balance of all of the Companys loans. The Company expects to
continue this reduced payment schedule until the financial restructuring is completed. Scheduled
principal payments that have not been paid total approximately $110,000 per month. The Company has
received a letter of understanding from this lender, acknowledging the financial restructuring and
confirming its intent to negotiate a formal agreement of forbearance. As of July 6, 2005,
negotiation of a forbearance agreement has been initiated but not completed. Accordingly, the
reduced payment schedule remains an event of default although the Company has no reason to believe
that the lender intends to take actions permitted by such default. On April 12, 2005 the Company
signed an Agreement of Sale relating to a sale/ leaseback of ten of its restaurants; however, the
prepayment penalty on the mortgage debt for nine of these ten restaurants must be waived for the
transaction to be financially viable for the Company. On June 13, 2005 the sale leaseback
transaction for the one restaurant that did not require a mortgage debt prepayment penalty to be
waived was completed and the Company received net proceeds of $912,000 on this transaction. The
remaining sale leaseback transactions, if successful, will generate proceeds to prepay a portion of
the Companys debt and in cash flow improvement as a result of rent payments being lower than the
related debt service payments. Management expects that it will be able to complete the financial
restructuring successfully and is encouraged by the improved financial results generated by the
previously disclosed organizational restructuring. Nonetheless, given the level of the Companys
indebtedness and other 11

##### Table of Contents



demands on its cash resources, there can be no assurance that the Companys lenders will consent to the
restructuring, that the restructuring will be accomplished, or that other actions might not be
taken by creditors that would impede the Companys ability to satisfy its obligations. The Companys reduced debt payment schedule and covenant violations discussed above could
result in the exercise of certain remedies available to the lender which may include calling of the
debt, acceleration of payments or foreclosure on the Companys assets which secure the debt. The
Companys other lenders have similar remedies available to them based on covenant violations and
the cross default provisions of those debt agreements. The lenders have not initiated any of these
remedies and management believes, but cannot assure, that these actions will not be taken prior to
the Company completing the financial restructuring described above. However, the recurring losses
from operations and shareholders deficiency that the Company has sustained result in significant
uncertainty as to the Companys ability to complete the financial restructuring if the lenders
initiate these remedies. Consequently, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern and therefore, if applicable, the Company may be unable to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern. The Companys existing borrowings are at fixed interest rates, and accordingly the Company
does not have market risk exposure for fluctuations in interest rates. As described above, the
Company has initiated a financial restructuring process which could result in refinancing of debt
through sale leaseback transactions at higher or lower fixed interest rates, or at variable rates.
Until the financial restructuring process is completed, it is not possible to quantify the market
risk exposure, if any, that could result from future borrowings. The Companys current plans call
for sale leaseback transactions involving one to nine restaurants. Consequently, increases in sale
leaseback rates are not expected to materially affect the Companys market risk exposure. The
Company does not enter into derivative financial investments for trading or speculation purposes.
As a result, the Company believes that its market risk exposure is not material to the Companys
financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Seasonality. The operations of the Company are affected by seasonal fluctuations.
Historically, the Companys revenues and income have been highest during the summer months with the
fourth fiscal quarter representing the slowest period. This seasonality is primarily attributable
to weather conditions in the Companys marketplace, which consists of portions of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia and New York. Safe Harbor Statements. This document contains forward-looking statements within

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Information required by this item is included under Liquidity and Capital Resources. 
 Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the consolidated
financial statements and other information presented in this report. The financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and reflect certain estimates and adjustments by management. In preparing financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, we must make a variety of decisions that affect the reported amounts and the related
disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of accounting principles that reflect the
economic substance of the underlying transactions and the assumptions on which to base accounting
estimates. In reaching such decisions, we apply judgment based on our understanding and analysis
of the relevant circumstances, including our historical experience, actuarial studies and other
assumptions. We re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. While actual
results could, in fact, differ from those estimated at the time of preparation of the financial
statements, we are committed to preparing financial statements incorporating accounting principles,
assumptions and estimates that promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability, neutrality
and transparency of the accounting information included in the financial statements. We maintain a system of internal accounting controls and procedures, which management believes
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly recorded and that assets are protected
from loss or unauthorized use. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures to ensure timely collection and
evaluation of information subject to disclosure, to ensure the selection of appropriate accounting
policies, and to ensure compliance with our accounting policies and procedures. Our disclosure
control systems and procedures include the certification of financial information provided from
each of our key management personnel. The integrity of our disclosure control systems are based on written policies and procedures,
the careful selection and training of qualified financial personnel and direct management review.
Our disclosure control committee meets periodically to review our systems and procedures and to
review our financial statements and related disclosures. Our independent auditors have direct and private access to the Audit Committee. The effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated as of the date
of the financial statements. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There
were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation. 13
