asset sales, capital expenditures, dividend payments, certain investments and related-party transactions, as well as requirements to maintain various financial ratios. At March 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt

The Company determined the estimated fair value using available market
information. However, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Companys debt holders could realize in an actual market transaction.

Note 4  Income Taxes

For the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million which resulted in an effective income
tax rate of 25.7% compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million or an effective tax rate of 25.3% during the same quarter of the prior year. For the first quarter of 2010, the lower than statutory rate was primarily attributable to tax credits. The
Companys effective tax rate of 25.3% for the first quarter of 2009 was also impacted by tax credits and a $0.6 million favorable discrete tax adjustment related to state tax rate changes.

Note 5  Commitments and Contingencies

On May 12, 2009, a lawsuit against the Company, entitled Jeffrey Wass, et al. v. NPC International, Inc., Case
No. 2:09-CV-2254-JWL-KGS, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. A First Amended Complaint, entitled Jeffrey Wass and Mark Smith, et al. v. NPC International, Inc., was filed on July 2, 2009. The
Complaint was brought by Plaintiffs Wass and Smith individually and on behalf of similarly situated employees who work or previously worked as delivery drivers for NPC. The First Amended Complaint alleged a collective action under the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) to recover unpaid wages and excessive deductions owed to plaintiffs and similarly situated workers employed by NPC in 28 states, and as a class action under Colorado law on behalf of Plaintiff Smith and all other similarly
situated workers employed by NPC in Colorado to recover unpaid minimum wages and excess payroll deductions and certain costs relating to uniforms and special apparel. The First Amended Complaint alleged among other things that NPC deprived
plaintiffs and other NPC delivery drivers of minimum wages by providing insufficient reimbursements for automobile and other job-related expenses incurred for the purposes of delivering NPCs pizza and other food items.

On March 2, 2010, the Court entered an Order granting NPCs motions for judgment on the pleadings as to all claims brought by
plaintiffs in the First Amended Complaint, with the exception of a claim for the reimbursement of uniform costs under Colorado law. The Order provided that the claims failed to state a claim under the FLSA and Colorado law and, therefore, would be
dismissed with prejudice unless plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint that cured the deficiencies in the First Amended Complaint. The Order also operated to moot plaintiffs then-pending motion for conditional collective action
certification.

##### Table of Contents

Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint on March 22, 2010, which alleges a
collective action under the FLSA on behalf of plaintiffs and similarly situated workers employed by NPC in 28 states, and a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on behalf of Plaintiff Smith and similarly situated
workers employed in states in which the state minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage. The Second Amended Complaint contends that NPC deprived delivery drivers of minimum wages by providing insufficient reimbursements for
automobile expenses incurred for the purposes of delivering NPCs pizza and other food items. NPC filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on April 8, 2010, which motion is currently pending before the Court. As a
result, at this time the Company is not able to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, any possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the lawsuit or any potential effect on the Companys business, results of operations or financial
condition. However, the Company believes the lawsuit is wholly without merit and will defend itself from these claims vigorously.

Note 6
 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company participates in interest rate related derivative instruments to
manage its exposure on its debt instruments, which the Company designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the
periods in which earnings are impacted by the hedged item. The following interest rate swap contracts were entered into as a hedge to fix a portion of the term loan notes under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and provide for fixed rates as
compared to the three-month LIBOR rate on the following notional amounts of floating rate debt at March 30, 2010:

##### Table of Contents

The Company currently expects that approximately $3.5 million of the change in the fair
value of the swap contract included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 30, 2010 will be realized in earnings as additional interest expense within the next twelve months, contemporaneously with the net
settlement of the underlying interest payments, which may vary based on actual changes within the LIBOR market rates.

The
Company estimates the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts using independent market data considered to be a Level 2 observable input. The Company uses a mark-to-market valuation based on observable interest rate yield curves which are
adjusted for credit risk. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, there was virtually no ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges.

Note 7  Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is comprised of the following:

Note 8  Related-Party Transactions

MLGPE Advisory Agreement.On May 3, 2006, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with an affiliate of MLGPE pursuant
to which such entity or its affiliates will provide advisory services to the Company. Under the agreement MLGPE or its affiliates will continue to provide financial, investment banking, management advisory and other services on the Companys
behalf for an annual fee of $1.0 million. The Company has paid $1.0 million to MLGPE for this fee for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, which is being amortized ratably to expense.

Bank of America Merchant Services.In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation (BOA) acquired the parent company of
MLGPE, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. During both the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 and March 31, 2009, the Company paid Bank of America Merchant Services, an affiliate of BOA, $0.1 million for credit card processing
services.

Bank of America, N.A.In December 2009, the Company opened a money market account with Bank of America, N.A.,
an affiliate of BOA, to invest any excess cash balances on hand. As of March 30, 2010, the Company had $8.7 million invested in this account. These investments are trading securities, which are included in cash and cash equivalents, and the
fair value of the investment was determined using independent market data considered to be a Level 2 observable input.

Participation in Senior Secured Credit Facility. Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of BOA, and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation
(MLCC), an affiliate of MLGPE, were active participants in the Companys Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of March 30, 2010, Bank of America, N.A., held $1.9 million, or 1.0%, of the term loan notes outstanding and $12.5
million, or 16.7%, of the revolving credit facility, and MLCC held $7.5 million, or 10.0%, of the revolving credit facility. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility as of March 30, 2010.

Note 9  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (ASU 2010-06), which amends ASC 820 and requires additional disclosure related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in respect of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair
value measurements. The update also clarifies existing disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation and disclosure about inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2009 except for disclosures related to activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not
expect the provisions of ASU 2010-06 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

##### Table of Contents

Overview

Who We Are.We are the largest Pizza Hut franchisee and the largest franchisee of any restaurant concept in the United States
according to the 2009 Top 200 Restaurant Franchisees by Franchise Times. We were founded in 1962 and, as of March 30, 2010 we operated 1,147 Pizza Hut units in 28 states with significant presence in the Midwest, South and
Southeast. As of the first quarter 2010, our operations represented approximately 19% of the domestic Pizza Hut restaurant system and 21% of the domestic Pizza Hut franchised restaurant system as measured by number of units, excluding licensed units
which operate with a limited menu and no delivery in certain of our markets.

Our Fiscal Year.We operate on a 52- or
53-week fiscal year ending on the last Tuesday in December. Fiscal year 2010 and 2009 each contains 52 weeks.

Our Sales

Net Product Sales.Net product sales are comprised of sales of food and beverages from our restaurants, net of discounts.
Year-to-date for fiscal 2010, pizza sales accounted for approximately 79% of net product sales. Various factors influence sales at a given unit, including customer recognition of the Pizza Hut brand, our level of service and operational
effectiveness, pricing, marketing and promotional efforts and local competition. Several factors affect our sales in any period, including the number of units in operation, comparable store sales and seasonality. Comparable store sales
refer to period-over-period net product sales comparisons for units under our operation for at least 12 months.

Fees and
Other Income.Fees and other income are comprised primarily of delivery fees charged to customers, vending receipts and other fee income and are not included in our comparable store sales metric.

Seasonality.Our business is seasonal in nature with net product sales typically being lower in the second and third fiscal
quarters. Sales are largely driven by product innovation, advertising and promotional activities and can be adversely impacted by holidays and economic times that generally negatively impact consumer discretionary spending, such as the back to
school season. As a result of these seasonal fluctuations, our operating results may vary substantially between fiscal quarters. Further, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal
year.

Restaurant formats. We operate our Pizza Hut restaurants through three different formats to cater to the needs
of our customers in each respective market. Delivery units, or Delcos, are typically located in strip centers and provide delivery and carry-out, with a greater proportion being located in more densely populated areas. Red Roof units, or
RRs, are traditional free-standing, dine-in restaurants which offer on-location dining room service as well as carry-out service. Restaurant-Based Delivery units, or RBDs, conduct delivery, dine-in, and carry-out operations
from the same free-standing location. Approximately 45% of our units include the WingStreet product line at March 30, 2010. The WingStreet menu includes bone-in and bone-out fried chicken wings which are tossed in one of eight
sauces and appetizers which are available for dine-in, carry-out and delivery.

The following table sets forth certain

Our Costs

Our operating costs and expenses are comprised of cost of sales, direct labor, other restaurant expenses and general and administrative
expenses. Our cost structure is highly variable with approximately 70% of operating costs variable to sales and volume of transactions.

Cost of sales.Cost of sales includes the cost of food and beverage products sold, less rebates from suppliers, as well as paper
and packaging, and is primarily influenced by fluctuations in commodity prices. Historically, our cost of sales has primarily been comprised of the following: cheese: 30-35%; dough: 16-19%; meat: 13-17%; and packaging: 8-10%. These costs can
fluctuate from year-to-year given the commodity nature of the cost category, but are constant across regions. We are a member of the UFPC, a cooperative set up to act as a central procurement service for the operators of Yum! Brands, Inc.
restaurants, and participate in various cheese hedging and procurement programs that are directed by the UFPC for cheese, meat and certain other commodities to help reduce the price volatility of those commodities from period-to-period. Based on
information provided by the UFPC, the UFPC expects to hedge approximately 30% to 50% of the Pizza Hut systems anticipated cheese purchases through a combination of derivatives taken under the direction of the UFPC.

Direct Labor.Direct labor includes the salary, payroll taxes, fringe benefit costs and workers compensation expense
associated with restaurant based personnel. Direct labor is highly dependent on federal and state minimum wage rate legislation given that the vast majority of our workers are hourly employees. To control labor costs, we are focused on proper
scheduling and adequate training of our store employees, as well as retention of existing employees.

Other restaurant
operating expenses.Other restaurant operating expenses include all other costs directly associated with operating a restaurant facility, which primarily represents royalties, advertising, rent and depreciation (facilities and equipment),
utilities, delivery expenses, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other restaurant related costs.

Included within other
restaurant operating expenses are royalties paid to Pizza Hut, Inc. (PHI). Our blended average royalty rate for the year-to-date period of 2010 was 4.8% of total sales compared to 4.7% for 2009.

General and administrative expenses.General and administrative expenses include field supervision and personnel costs and the
corporate and administrative functions that support our restaurants, including employee wages and benefits, travel, information systems, recruiting and training costs, professional fees, supplies, insurance and bank service and credit card
transaction fees.

Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Our Business

We believe that as a franchisee of such a large number of Pizza Hut restaurants, our financial success is driven less by variable factors
that affect regional restaurants and their markets, and more by trends affecting the food purchase industry  specifically the Quick Service Restaurants or QSR industry. The following discussion describes certain key factors that
may affect our future performance.

General Economic Conditions and Consumer Spending

Consumers continue to face high unemployment rates, lower home values and a more stringent credit environment. Low consumer confidence as
a result of these changes within the economic environment has caused the consumer to experience a real and perceived reduction in disposable income which has negatively impacted consumer spending in most segments of the restaurant industry,
including the segment in which we compete. While general economic conditions appear to be stabilizing, we believe pressures on low and lower-middle income customers continue to be significant, and we believe that these customers are particularly
interested in receiving value at a reasonable price in the current environment.

Competition

The QSR industry is a fragmented market, with competition from national and regional chains, as well as independent operators, which
affects pricing strategies and margins. Additionally, there is increasing competition in the pizza segment from the frozen pizza and take-and-bake alternatives. Limited product variability within our segment can make differentiation among
competitors difficult. Thus, competitors continuously promote and market new product introductions, price discounts and bundled deals, and rely heavily on effective marketing and advertising to drive sales.

Commodity Prices

Commodity prices of packaging products (liner board) and ingredients such as cheese, dough (wheat), and meat, can vary. The prices of
these commodities can fluctuate throughout the year due to changes in supply and demand. Our costs can also fluctuate as a result of changes in ingredients or packaging instituted by PHI.

##### Table of Contents

Our overall commodity costs were higher during the first quarter of 2010 than the prior
year. The block cheese price for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 averaged $1.41 per pound, an increase of $0.23 or 19% versus the average price for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, additionally, meat costs increased 11% and packaging
increased 7% from the prior year. Our average costs of vegetable oil decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 by 27% as compared to the prior year.

Labor Cost

The
restaurant industry is labor intensive and known for having a high level of employee turnover given low hourly wages and the part-time composition of the workforce. To the extent that our delivery sales mix increases due to acquisition of units or
customer preference, our labor costs would be expected to increase due to the more labor intensive nature of the delivery transaction. Direct labor is highly dependent on federal and state minimum wage rate legislation given the vast majority of
workers are hourly employees whose compensation is either determined or influenced by the minimum wage rate. There has been legislation passed in recent years to increase certain states and federal minimum wage rates. This has resulted in
incremental direct labor expense which we have attempted to mitigate through pricing initiatives, productivity improvement in our restaurants, better overall wage management tactics and other auxiliary cost reduction strategies. The federal tipped
wage rate remained unchanged at $2.13 per hour. The expected impact on our direct labor costs for these changes is described below under Inflation and Deflation.

The federal government and several state governments have proposed or enacted legislation regarding health care, including legislation
that in some cases requires employers to either provide health care coverage to their full-time employees, pay a penalty or pay into a fund that would provide coverage for them. We are currently evaluating the effects on our business of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law on March 23, 2010, and the related Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which was signed into law on March 30, 2010 (collectively, the Federal Health Care
Acts). The provisions of the Federal Health Care Acts having the greatest potential financial impact on us are scheduled to become effective in 2014. Based upon our current evaluation, we expect that the Federal Health Care Acts will
likely increase our future costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, but we are currently unable to quantify the amount of the impact with any degree of certainty.

Additionally, potential changes in federal labor laws, including the possible enactment of the Employee Free Choice Act
(EFCA), could result in portions of our workforce being subjected to greater organized labor influence. The EFCA, also referred to as the card check bill, if passed in its current form could significantly change the nature of
labor relations in the United States, specifically, how union elections and contract negotiations are conducted. Although we do not currently have union employees, the EFCA could impose more requirements and union activity on our business, thereby
potentially increasing our costs, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Inflation and Deflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in food and labor costs, directly affect our operations. Because most of our employees are paid
on an hourly basis, changes in rates related to federal and state minimum wage and tip credit laws will affect our labor costs. We currently estimate the rollover impact of the July 24, 2009 federal minimum wage increase to be approximately
$2.8 million for fiscal year 2010. We are not always able to offset higher food, labor, fuel and other costs with price increases.

If the economy experiences deflation, which is a persistent decline in the general price level of goods and services, we may suffer a
decline in revenues as a result of the falling prices. In that event, given our fixed costs and minimum wage requirements, it is unlikely that we would be able to reduce our costs at the same pace as any declines in revenues. Consequently, a period
of prolonged or significant deflation would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, if we reduce the prices we charge for our products as a result of declines in comparable
store sales or competitive pressures, we may suffer decreased revenues, margins, income and cash flow from operations.

Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon
our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be material. Our critical accounting policies are available in Item 7 of our 2009
Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes with respect to these policies during the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2010.

Thirteen Weeks Ended
March 30, 2010 Compared to March 31, 2009-adjusted for discontinued operations

Net Product Sales.Net
product sales for the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, were $252.6 million and $222.4 million, respectively, an increase of $30.2 million, or 13.6%, resulting largely from a comparable store sales increase of 10.2% for the first quarter of
2010, rolling over last years first quarter comparable store sales decrease of 5.0% and a 1.5% increase in equivalent units. The improved comparable store sales results are largely a result of our $10 Any Pizza promotion.

Fees and Other Income.Fees and other income were $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $10.0 million for the
prior year, for an increase of $1.8 million or 18.5%. The increase was due to higher customer delivery charge income from increased delivery transactions.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales was $76.0 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $59.5 million for the prior year for an
increase of $16.5 million or 27.6%. Cost of sales increased 3.3%, as a percentage of net product sales, to 30.1%, compared to 26.8% in the prior year. This increase was largely due to pricing and product mix changes due to the $10 Any Pizza
promotion as well as higher ingredient costs.

were $74.9 million and $66.4 million, respectively, an increase of $8.5 million, or 12.7%. Direct labor costs were 29.6% of net product sales for the first quarter 2010, a 0.3% decrease compared to the prior year. The favorable variance is primarily
due to the leveraging impact on fixed and semi-fixed labor costs as a result of the comparable store sales increase and lower self-insured health insurance costs due to adverse claims development in the prior year. These decreases were partially
offset by increased average wage rates related to the July 2009 minimum wage increase (approximately 60 basis points) and higher unemployment tax expense due to increased state unemployment rates.

Other Restaurant Operating Expenses.Other restaurant operating expenses for the 13
weeks ended March 30, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were $78.0 million and $74.2 million, respectively, an increase of $3.8 million, or 5.2%. Other restaurant operating expenses were 30.9% of net product sales for the first quarter 2010 compared
to 33.3% of net product sales for the prior year, a decrease of 2.4%. The favorable variance was largely due to the leveraging impact on fixed and semi-fixed costs, primarily occupancy costs and depreciation, due to the comparable store sales
increase and outsourced call center expenses for a certain acquisition market in the prior year which was brought in-house in late third quarter 2009. These decreases were partially offset by increased delivery driver reimbursement expenses due to
increased delivery transactions and higher fuel costs.

Depreciation expense for store operations was $8.2 million or 3.3% of
net product sales for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $9.7 million or 4.4% of net product sales for the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 were $12.1
million compared to $12.7 million for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.6 million or 4.2%. This decrease is largely due to a reduction in certain employee related compensation expenses, which may be reinstated on a
discretionary basis based on fiscal 2010 operating results, and targeted headcount reductions which totaled approximately $0.8 million. The year-over-year impact of the portion of the savings related to reduced profit sharing and bonus expense
primarily benefit the first quarter of 2010 as these accruals were reduced throughout fiscal 2009 due to our decline in financial performance. Additionally, increased credit card transaction fees in the current year of $0.5 million were partially
offset by $0.3 million for non-recurring acquisition integration costs incurred in the first quarter of 2009.

Corporate
Depreciation and Amortization.Corporate depreciation and amortization costs were $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other.We recorded expense of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for other expenses during the first quarter of 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Included in this category were direct acquisition costs of $0.4 million which were required to be expensed under business combination accounting guidance during the first quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense.Interest expense was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.9 million for the prior year, a
decrease of $0.4 million due to lower interest rates as compared to the prior year. Our cash borrowing rate decreased 0.2% to 6.3% during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year and our average outstanding debt balance decreased $24.0
million to $433.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. Interest expense included $0.6 million and $0.5 million for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs in the first quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes.For the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million which resulted in an
effective income tax rate of 25.7% compared to an effective tax rate of 25.3%, or $2.0 million, for the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2009. The lower than statutory rates are due to the impact of tax credits in relation to income before taxes and
the effect of a $0.6 million favorable discrete tax adjustment related to state tax rate changes recorded in the first quarter of 2009.

Income from Continuing Operations, net of taxes.Income from continuing operations for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 was
$9.5 million, compared to $6.0 million for the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of a 13.6% increase in net product sales and increased customer delivery charge income which were partially offset by increased cost of
sales, direct labor costs and other restaurant operating expenses.

(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of taxes.Loss from discontinued operations was $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 as a result of the January 2009 sale of 42 units to PHI.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs will arise primarily from: (1) interest and principal payments related to our existing
credit facility and the senior subordinated notes; (2) capital expenditures, including those for our re-imaging plan and maintenance capital expenditures; (3) opportunistic acquisitions of Pizza Hut restaurants or other acquisition
opportunities; and (4) working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business. We intend to fund our operations, interest expense, capital expenditures, acquisitions and working capital requirements principally from cash from
operations, cash reserves and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Future acquisitions, depending on the size, may require borrowings beyond those available on our existing revolving credit facility and therefore may require further
utilization of the additional remaining term loan borrowing capacity under our credit facility described below as well as other sources of debt or additional equity capital.

Credit and capital markets have recently improved significantly from the disruptions experienced in fiscal 2009. However, any additional
debt incurred, beyond the parameters established in our current agreement, or refinancing may result in increased borrowing costs that are in excess of our existing credit facility spreads based on current market conditions. We will continue to
evaluate the market as we assess the future potential refinancing of our existing credit facility and our acquisition and other growth opportunities.

Our working capital was a deficit of $50.4 million at March 30, 2010. Like most restaurant companies, we are a cash business with
low levels of inventories and accounts receivable. Because our sales are primarily cash and we receive credit from our suppliers, we operate on a net working capital deficit. Further, receivables are not a significant asset in the restaurant
business and inventory turnover is rapid. Therefore, historically we have used available liquid assets to reduce borrowings under our revolving line of credit.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash from operations is our primary source of funds. Changes in earnings and working capital levels are the two key factors that
generally have the greatest impact on cash from operations. Our operating activities provided net cash inflows of $31.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $25.9 million for 2009. Cash flows from operations during the 13 weeks ended
March 30, 2010 were positively impacted by a $4.3 million increase from net changes in working capital and a $2.0 million positive impact of after tax cash flows from operations (after adding back non-cash items to net income) as compared to
the prior year.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were $1.9 million during the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 compared to $20.7 million for the
13 weeks ended March 31, 2009. For the first quarter of 2010, we invested $3.9 million in capital expenditures. Additionally, we received proceeds of $2.1 million for asset sales as PHI exercised the option to purchase five assets which were
part of the fiscal 2008 and 2009 sale transactions. During 2009, we completed an asset purchase and sale transaction with PHI in which we purchased 55 units for $18.7 million and sold 42 units for $19.5 million. We also completed an acquisition of
50 units for $14.2 million. During the first quarter of 2009 we invested $7.2 million in capital expenditures, consisting of approximately $4.0 million in our existing operations and $3.2 million for acquisition related information technology
equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash outflows for financing activities were $31.4 million for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 compared to net inflows of $0.8
million for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, we paid our mandatory excess cash flow prepayment of $31.3 million on our senior secured credit facility utilizing cash reserves. This payment was made in the
second quarter last year and totaled $17.1 million. We had no net activity on our revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2010 compared to net pay-downs of $3.0 million for the first quarter last year. During the first quarter of 2009
we completed sale-leaseback transactions for six properties acquired in Virginia during the fourth quarter of 2008 for $2.9 million and completed sale-leaseback transactions on two formerly leased properties (purchased in 2008) for $0.9 million.

Based upon the amount of excess cash flow generated during fiscal 2009 and the Companys leverage at fiscal 2009 year
end, each of which is defined in the credit agreement, the Company was required to make an excess cash flow mandatory prepayment of $31.3 million. This amount was included in the current portion of long-term debt at December 29, 2009 and was
paid utilizing our cash reserves on March 30, 2010.

##### Table of Contents

As of March 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under
our senior secured credit facility. Further, as shown in the following table, our financial leverage ratio has declined from 4.51x at fiscal 2009 year end to 4.12x as a result of our $31.3 million payment on our senior secured credit facility and
improved operating results. Our ratios under the foregoing financial covenants in our credit agreement as of March 30, 2010 were as follows:



|                                |  |        |  |                      |  | 
|------------------------------- |  | ------ |  | -------------------- |  | 
|                                |  | Actual |  | Covenant Requirement |  | 
|                                |  |        |  |                      | 
|Maximum leverage ratio          |  | 4.12x  |  | Not more than 4.75x  | 
|Minimum interest coverage ratio |  | 1.88x  |  | Not less than 1.70x  |  | 

The credit agreement defines Leverage Ratio as the ratio of Consolidated Debt for
Borrowed Money to Consolidated EBITDA; Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (x) Consolidated EBITDA plus Rent Expense to (y) Consolidated Interest Expense plus Rent Expense. All of the foregoing
capitalized terms are defined in the Credit Agreement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2006 as Exhibit 10.2 to the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No 333-138338). The Credit
Agreement provides that each of the above defined terms include the pro forma effect of acquisitions and divestitures on a full year basis. This pro forma effect used in connection with the financial debt covenant ratio calculations is not the same
calculation we use to determine Adjusted EBITDA, which we disclose to investors in our earnings releases and which is discussed below.

Based upon current operations, we believe that our cash flows from operations, together with borrowings that are available under the
revolving credit facility portion of our senior secured credit facility, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and scheduled principal and interest payments through the next 12 months. At
March 30, 2010, we had $58.1 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving line of credit net of $16.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. We will consider additional sources of financing to fund our long-term growth if
necessary, including the remaining $60.0 million of term loan capacity available under our existing credit facility.

Non-GAAP measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) is a supplemental measure of our performance
that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We have included Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with the
performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We have substantial interest expense relating to the financing of the 2006 acquisition of us and substantial depreciation and amortization expense
relating to this transaction and to our acquisitions of units in recent years. We believe that the elimination of these items, as well as taxes, pre-opening and other expenses and facility impairment charges give investors useful information to
compare the performance of our core operations over different periods. The following is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted
EBITDA(1)(in thousands).

| | (1) | The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, facility impairment charges
and pre-opening expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for analysis of, the Companys financial information reported under generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA as defined above may not be similar to EBITDA measures of other companies. |

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do
not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. Our
primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All of our borrowings under our senior secured credit facility bear interest at a floating rate. As of March 30, 2010, we had $227.4 million in funded floating rate debt outstanding under our
senior secured credit facility. We have interest rate swap agreements that provide for fixed rates as compared to the three-month LIBOR rate on the following notional amounts of floating rate debt at March 30, 2010:



|               |  |                               |       |                |       |               |               |  |

|June 6, 2006   |  | $                             | 20.0  |                | 5.39% |               | Dec. 31, 2010 | 
|Jan. 31, 2008  |  |                               | 50.0  |                | 3.16% |               | Jan. 31, 2011 | 
|April 7, 2008  |  |                               | 50.0  |                | 2.79% |               | April 7, 2011 | 
|Nov. 18, 2008  |  |                               | 30.0  |                | 2.81% |               | Nov. 18, 2011 | 
|               |  |                               |       |                |       |               |               | 
|               |  | $                             | 150.0 |                |       |               |               | 
|               |  |                               |       |                |       |               |               |  | 

After giving effect to these swaps, which leaves us with $77.4 million of floating rate debt, a
100 basis point increase in this floating rate would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.8 million.

Commodity Prices. Commodity prices such as cheese can vary. The price of this commodity can change throughout the year due to
changes in supply and demand. Cheese has historically represented approximately 30-35% of our cost of sales. We are a member of the UFPC, and participate in cheese hedging programs that are directed by the UFPC to help reduce the volatility of this
commodity from period-to-period. Based on information provided by the UFPC, the UFPC expects to hedge approximately 30% to 50% of the Pizza Hut systems anticipated cheese purchases through a combination of derivatives taken under the direction
of the UFPC.

The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average cheese block
price per pound (approximately $0.14 per pound for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 and $0.12 per pound for 2009) would have been approximately $1.8 million and $1.0 million for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2010 and March 31,
2009, respectively, without giving effect to the UFPC directed hedging programs.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that
the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during our first fiscal quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|-------- | -----------------



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

On
May 12, 2009, a lawsuit against the Company, entitled Jeffrey Wass, et al. v. NPC International, Inc., Case No. 2:09-CV-2254-JWL-KGS, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. A First Amended Complaint,
entitled Jeffrey Wass and Mark Smith, et al. v. NPC International, Inc., was filed on July 2, 2009. The Complaint was brought by Plaintiffs Wass and Smith individually and on behalf of similarly situated employees who work or previously worked
as delivery drivers for NPC. The First Amended Complaint alleged a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to recover unpaid wages and excessive deductions owed to plaintiffs and similarly situated workers employed by NPC in 28
states, and as a class action under Colorado law on behalf of Plaintiff Smith and all other similarly situated workers employed by NPC in Colorado to recover unpaid minimum wages and excess payroll deductions and certain costs relating to uniforms
and special apparel. The First Amended Complaint alleged among other things that NPC deprived plaintiffs and other NPC delivery drivers of minimum wages by providing insufficient reimbursements for automobile and other job-related expenses incurred
for the purposes of delivering NPCs pizza and other food items.

On March 2, 2010, the Court entered an Order
granting NPCs motions for judgment on the pleadings as to all claims brought by plaintiffs in the First Amended Complaint, with the exception of a claim for the reimbursement of uniform costs under Colorado law. The Order provided that the
claims failed to state a claim under the FLSA and Colorado law and, therefore, would be dismissed with prejudice unless plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint that cured the deficiencies in the First Amended Complaint. The Order also operated
to moot plaintiffs then-pending motion for conditional collective action certification.

Plaintiffs filed a Second
Amended Complaint on March 22, 2010, which alleges a collective action under the FLSA on behalf of plaintiffs and similarly situated workers employed by NPC in 28 states, and a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
on behalf of Plaintiff Smith and similarly situated workers employed in states in which the state minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage. The Second Amended Complaint contends that NPC deprived delivery drivers of minimum wages by
providing insufficient reimbursements for automobile expenses incurred for the purposes of delivering NPCs pizza and other food items. NPC filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on April 8, 2010, which motion is
currently pending before the Court. As a result, at this time the Company is not able to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, any possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the lawsuit or any potential effect on the Companys
business, results of operations or financial condition. However, the Company believes the lawsuit is wholly without merit and will defend itself from these claims vigorously.
