NPC INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1  Basis of Presentation

NPC
International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as NPC and the Company. NPC Acquisition Holdings, LLC, its ultimate parent company, is referred to herein as Holdings.

On May 3, 2006, all of NPCs outstanding stock was acquired by Holdings, a company controlled by Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity
(MLGPE) and certain of its affiliates. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued $175.0 million principal amount of notes and entered into a $375.0 million Senior Secured Credit Facility. The $375.0 million Senior Secured
Credit Facility consists of a $300.0 million term loan due 2013 and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility due 2012.

The accompanying
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and
disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein.

The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys latest Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The Company believes this
information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the financial condition, statements of income and cash flows for the periods then ended.

Note 2  Acquisitions

On September 26, 2007, the Company acquired 17 Pizza Hut units in and around Ft. Myers and Naples, Florida from a Pizza Hut franchisee for $5.4 million (including capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million). This
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, whereby operating results subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the consolidated financial results.

On March 13, 2007, the Company acquired 59 Pizza Hut units located primarily in Idaho and the Spokane Valley from a Pizza Hut franchisee. The
purchase price was $27.3 million (including capitalized acquisition costs of $0.2 million). This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, whereby operating results subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the
consolidated financial results.

The unaudited pro forma results of operations provided below for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended
September 25, 2007, are presented as though the above mentioned unit acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments relating to depreciation and amortization of the
revalued assets and other acquisition related adjustments in connection with these acquisitions. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had these acquisitions been consummated at
the beginning of the period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

The Companys debt facilities contain restrictions on additional borrowing, certain asset
sales, capital expenditures, dividend payments, certain investments and related-party transactions, as well as requirements to maintain various financial ratios. At September 23, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt
covenants.

Based upon the provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company may be required to make an excess cash flow
mandatory prepayment on the term loan notes not later than 120 days after the Companys fiscal year end. For fiscal

##### Table of Contents

2007 the mandatory prepayment was determined to be $4.2 million. This amount was included in the current portion of long-term debt at December 25, 2007
and was paid on April 11, 2008. Based on projected 2008 results, the Company anticipates that it will be required to make such a mandatory prepayment of between $15.9 million and $23.8 million depending upon the amount of excess cash flow
generated during its fiscal year and its leverage at fiscal year-end. The excess cash flow mandatory prepayment is an annual requirement under the credit agreement. Because the excess cash flow mandatory prepayment estimates are
preliminary and are therefore subject to further refinement, the final excess cash flow mandatory prepayment could ultimately differ from the amounts reflected above.

Based upon independent trading data considered to be a Level 1 input, as defined by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, the estimated
fair value of the Companys debt facilities was as follows (in thousands):

The decline in the fair value from the carrying amount of outstanding debt is primarily due to the
current state of the credit market for similar debt instruments. 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 debtholders could realize in a current market exchange.

For the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.5 million which resulted in an effective income tax rate of
32.7% compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million or an effective tax rate of 22.6% during the prior year. The lower than statutory rates are attributable to the impact of high tax credits. The Companys effective tax rate of 22.6% for
fiscal 2007 was below statutory rates due to the impact of high tax credits and permanent items in relation to income before taxes. The current year anticipated annual effective tax rate was increased from 31.0% in the second quarter to 32.7% in the
third quarter which resulted in a third quarter rate of 40.4%. This increase was due to changes in anticipated deductions.

The liability
for uncertain tax positions was $11.6 million as of September 23, 2008, was considered long term and was included in other deferred items in the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 6  Commitments and Contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in
litigation, most of which is incidental to the business.

Note 7  Employee Benefit Plans

In May 2006, Holdings agreed to establish a new stock incentive plan (the Plan), which governs, among other things, (i) the issuance of
matching options on purchased membership interests and (ii) the grant of options with respect to the membership interests. This stock incentive plan is accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amended
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.

As of September 23, 2008, no options had been exercised by management. One member of management
terminated employment on February 29, 2008; non-vested options previously granted to this member were forfeited immediately, with vested options forfeited during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, based upon the provisions of the
Plan, as shown above.

The Company currently has in place the NPC International, Inc. 401(k) and Deferred Compensation Plan, to which the
Company provides matching contributions to its employees. Contributions by the Company are maintained in a rabbi trust held with a third party administrator. The Company records the plan assets of these funds at the fair market value of the
underlying investments at each reporting period. Investments held within the rabbi trust were $6.5 million and $7.3 million as of September 23, 2008 and December 25, 2007, respectively. The fair market value of the underlying investment
was based upon independent market data considered to be a Level 1 input under SFAS 157.

Note 8  Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company participates in interest rate related derivative instruments to manage its exposure on its debt instruments. The Company records all
derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as
amended. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the Company designates these forward contracts 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 swap agreements were entered into as a hedge to fix a portion of the $300.0 million 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 September 23, 2008:

##### Table of Contents

As of December 26, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for the fair value measurement of recurring
items, in particular its interest rate swaps. There was no impact on the basis for which the fair value of these items was determined.

The
Company measures the fair value of its interest rate swaps under a Level 2 input as defined by SFAS 157. The Company uses a mark-to-market valuation based on observable interest rate yield curves. During the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008,
and September 25, 2007, there was no ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges.

Note 9  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 2008, which is being amortized ratably to expense.

Merrill Lynch & Company Investments Derivative Transactions.On June 6, 2006, the Company entered into an amortizing floating-to-fixed rate interest rate swap agreement expiring December 31, 2010. The notional
amount of this swap was $85.0 million at September 23, 2008. Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. (MLCS) was the counterparty on $42.5 million of the total notional amount, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an unrelated party, was the
counterparty on the residual $42.5 million. Under this swap, the Company will pay both counter-parties 5.39% and receive the three-month LIBOR rate as determined on the reset dates. These swaps were entered into to provide a hedge against the
effects of rising interest rates on a portion of the $300.0 million term loan notes under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Effective
April 7, 2008, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed rate interest rate swap agreement expiring April 7, 2011, on a notional amount of $50.0 million with MLCS as the counterparty to the transaction. Under this swap, the Company will
pay MLCS 2.79% and receive the three-month LIBOR rate as determined on the reset dates. This swap was entered into as a hedge to fix a portion of the $300.0 million term loan notes under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Note 10  New Accounting Pronouncements

On
December 26, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB
Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13and FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157.FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP No. 157-2 deferred the effective date of FAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recorded at fair
value on a non-recurring basis. The effect of adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations;
however, additional disclosures have been provided within the Companys consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, which clarifies the application of FAS 157 in a market that is not active. FSP 157-3 was
effective for the Company at September 23, 2008, and the effect of adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. If the fair value option is elected, unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company adopted this statement as of December 26, 2007, and did not elect the fair value option to measure certain financial instruments.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the
acquisition date fair value. SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and
development and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entitys deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R provides guidance
regarding what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early
application prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS 141R beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and will change its accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.

##### Table of Contents

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110) which was
effective January 1, 2008. SAB 110 expresses the views of the Staff of the SEC regarding the use of the simplified method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of the expected term of plain vanilla share
options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company adopted SAB 110 as of December 26, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities. The Company elected early adoption of SFAS 161 as of March 25, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB reached a consensus on
Issue No. 08-3, Accounting by Lessees for Maintenance Deposits (EITF 08-3). Effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years,
EITF 08-3 concluded that all maintenance deposits within its scope should be accounted for as a deposit, and expensed or capitalized in accordance with the lessees maintenance accounting policy. The Company does not expect that EITF 08-3
will have a material impact in its consolidated financial statements.

Note 11  Subsequent Events

On September 30, 2008, the Company acquired 99 Pizza Hut units, primarily located in Virginia, from a Pizza Hut franchisee for $35.0 million. The
transaction was funded by approximately $5.0 million of available cash reserves and borrowings on the Companys $75.0 million revolving credit facility.

On October 8, 2008 the Company borrowed $40.0 million pursuant to an incremental term loan entered into by the Company under the existing credit facilitys $100.0 million term accordion feature, reducing the
Companys available term loan accordion capacity to $60.0 million. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down borrowings on the Companys revolving credit facility as a result of the above mentioned acquisition and to augment cash
reserves.

On November 3, 2008, the Company entered into two agreements with Pizza Hut, Inc. and Pizza Hut of America, Inc.
(collectively PH): (1) an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase from PH for $26.4 million in cash 89 Pizza Hut units located in Tampa, Florida and Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, and (2) an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Purchase and Sale Agreement), pursuant to which PH has agreed to purchase from the Company for $19.6 million in cash 70 Pizza Hut units located in Jacksonville,
Florida; Jackson, Mississippi; Spokane, Washington and Savannah, Georgia, and the Company has agreed to purchase from PH for $26.5 million in cash 102 Pizza Hut units located in Kansas City, Missouri and North Atlanta, Georgia. The closing of the
transactions under each agreement is subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions, including obtaining applicable government approvals and other customary closing conditions, on or before December 22, 2008. In addition, the closing of the
Purchase Agreement is subject to the Company obtaining financing on terms that are acceptable to it while maintaining adequate liquidity as determined by the Company in its discretion. The sale of stores by the Company is expected to result in a
pre-tax non-cash loss estimated to be between $29 million and $32 million due to the anticipated write-down of intangible assets including franchise rights and goodwill relating to the sold stores. The final charge will be determined following the
completion of certain asset valuations, and the amount is subject to change based on completion of this process. The final charge will be determined and recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Overview

Who We Are.NPC International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (referred to herein as NPC, the Company or in the
first person notations of we, us and our) is the largest Pizza Hut franchisee and the largest franchisee of any restaurant concept in the United States according to the 2007 Chain Restaurant Industry
Review by GE Capital Solutions.

##### Table of Contents

We were founded in 1962 and, as of September 23, 2008, we operated 885 Pizza Hut units in 24 states with significant presence in the Midwest, South and
Southeast. As of the end of fiscal 2007, our operations represented approximately 15% of the domestic Pizza Hut restaurant system and 18% 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 2008 contains 53 weeks and fiscal year 2007 contained 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
2008, pizza sales accounted for approximately 79% of net product sales. On April 1, 2008, we began offering the Tuscani Pasta menu layer which has minimally impacted our pizza sales mix. Various factors influence sales at a given store,
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
stores in operation, comparable store sales and seasonality.

Fees and Other Income.Fees and other income are comprised primarily
of delivery fees charged to customers, vending receipts and other fee income.

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.

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 for
fiscal year 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 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 and testing 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 franchise fees, advertising, rent and depreciation (facilities and equipment), utilities, delivery expenses, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other restaurant related costs.

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.



14



---

##### Table of Contents

Demographics, General Economic Conditions and Consumer Spending

Lifestyle and demographic trends are generally positive drivers of the restaurant industry. The QSR industry has experienced consistent growth driven by
historically favorable economic and consumer trends, including the increasing number of dual-income and single-parent households, increased disposable income and discretionary spending, an aging baby boomer generation, the rising time constraints of
todays average consumer and relatively low levels of inflation. However, increased gas prices, declining home values and sales, the negative impact of changes in the subprime mortgage market and credit markets, declining stock prices, higher
unemployment rates and low consumer confidence as a result of the changes within the economic environment have caused the consumer to experience a real and perceived reduction in disposable income which has negatively impacted consumer spending in
certain segments of the restaurant industry, including the segment in which we compete.

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. In the pizza segment, limited product variability 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 and ingredients such as cheese, dough, and meat, can vary. The prices of these commodities can change throughout
the year due to changes in supply and demand. Although commodity prices remain high relative to historical prices, during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 the block cheddar cheese market began to stabilize as compared to the prior year. The block
cheese price for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 averaged $1.88, a decrease of $0.09 or 4.7% versus the average price for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

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. 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. Legislation was passed to increase certain states 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. Further, in May 2007, the United States Congress passed a bill, which was signed into law, to increase the federal minimum wage
rate per hour as follows: from $5.15 to $5.85 effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 effective July 24, 2008 and $7.25 effective July 24, 2009. 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.

Inflation

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 are not always able to offset higher costs with price increases. We anticipate the aforementioned state minimum wage rates will
increase direct labor expense by approximately an additional $1.8 million in fiscal 2008. Further, we anticipate that the federal minimum wage rate increases effective July 24, 2007 and July 24, 2008 will increase our direct labor expense
by approximately $3.9 million in fiscal 2008. We believe we have implemented effective strategies to offset most of this impact; however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to leverage the future wage increases through pricing initiatives,
auxiliary cost savings and productivity improvements in our restaurants.

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 revenue, 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

We added the WingStreet product line to 51 units during the 13 weeks ended September 23,
2008 and to 170 units during the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, for a total of 228 units offering the WingStreet product line at September 23, 2008.

Thirteen Weeks Ended September 23, 2008 Compared to September 25, 2007

Net
Product Sales.Net product sales for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007, were $180.2 million and $168.9 million, respectively, an increase of $11.3 million or 6.7% resulting largely
from a 4.8% comparable store sales increase for the third quarter of 2008, rolling over last years third quarter comparable store sales increase of 4.9% and a 1.7% increase in equivalent units due to acquisitions and development.

Fees and Other Income.Fees and other income were $6.2 million for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008, compared to $4.4 million for the
13 weeks ended September 25, 2007, for an increase of $1.8 million or 41.8%. The increase was primarily due to increased customer delivery charges effective July 2008 which were preceded by an increase in most markets during the second quarter
of this year.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales was $51.6 million for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008, compared to $46.0
million for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007, for an increase of $5.6 million or 12.3%. Cost of sales increased 1.4%, as a percentage of net product sales, to 28.6%, compared to 27.2% in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to
increases in the following commodity costs: 34% for dough, 11% for meat and 68% for vegetable oil as compared to the prior year and the higher product costs associated with the new Tuscani Pasta menu layer. Cheese prices (net of UFPC hedging
benefits) and packaging costs were essentially flat as compared to the prior year. The impact of these overall increases was partially offset by pricing initiatives.

##### Table of Contents

Direct Labor.Direct labor costs for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 as compared to
September 25, 2007 were $50.7 million and $48.1 million, respectively, an increase of $2.6 million or 5.4%. Direct labor costs for the third quarter decreased 0.4%, as a percentage of net product sales, to 28.1%, compared to 28.5% for the prior
year. This decrease was primarily due to the positive impact of sales leverage achieved on fixed labor costs and effective labor management strategies which more than offset higher wage rates caused largely by federal and certain state minimum wage
increases.

Other Restaurant Operating Expenses.Other restaurant operating expenses for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008
and September 25, 2007 were $60.2 million and $55.0 million, respectively, an increase of $5.2 million or 9.3%. Other operating expenses were 33.4% of net product sales for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 32.6% for the prior year, an
increase of 0.8%. The increase as a percentage of net product sales compared to the prior year was largely due to increased utilities, repairs and delivery driver reimbursement expenses which were partially offset by decreased advertising costs.
Additionally, the prior year included the positive impact of business interruption proceeds of $0.3 million received in 2007 for the 2005 hurricanes. Depreciation expense for store operations was $6.8 million or 3.8% of net product sales for third
quarter 2008 compared to $6.5 million or 3.9% of net product sales in the third quarter of 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 were $10.6 million compared to $9.9 million for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.7
million compared to the prior year largely due to increased credit card fees attributable to increased transaction volume and increased personnel recruiting and relocation costs.

Corporate Depreciation and Amortization.Corporate depreciation and amortization costs for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 and
September 25, 2007 were $3.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase over the prior year is largely due to increased pre-opening expenses related to the addition of the WingStreet product line at 51 units in the third quarter
of 2008.

Net Facility Impairment Charges. Facility impairment charges were minimal for two properties during the third quarter of
2008 compared to $0.1 million for seven properties during the third quarter of 2007.

Loss (Gain) on Disposition of Assets.Loss on
asset dispositions was $0.1 million for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to a minimal gain for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007.

Interest Expense.Interest expense was $8.1 million for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to $9.5 million for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007, a decrease of $1.4 million primarily
due to lower interest rates and lower debt levels as compared to the prior year. Our cash borrowing rate decreased 0.9% to 7.4% during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 and our average outstanding debt balance decreased
$15.6 million to $411.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the prior year. Cash borrowing rate represents interest expense, excluding debt issue amortization, divided by weighted average debt outstanding. Interest
expense included $0.5 million for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs in both the third quarter 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes.For the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008, we recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 40.4% compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the 13 weeks
ended September 25, 2007. The prior year income tax benefit was due to a reduction in rate as a result of higher than previously anticipated tax credits. The current year anticipated annual effective rate was increased to 32.7% during the third
quarter which resulted in a third quarter effective tax rate of 40.4% compared to 42.1% in the second quarter of 2008.

Net Income.Net income for the 13 weeks ended September 23, 2008 was $1.1 million, compared to $1.9 million for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2007. The decrease in net income was primarily due to increases in commodity costs, income tax
expense and general and administrative expenses which were partially offset by the benefit of a 6.7% increase in net product sales, increased customer delivery charge income and lower interest expense.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended September 23, 2008 Compared to September 25, 2007

Net Product Sales.Net product sales for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007 were
$547.0 million and $504.8 million, respectively, an increase of $42.2 million or 8.4% resulting largely from an increase in comparable store sales of 4.1%, while rolling over last years comparable store sales increase of 3.0%, and 4.0%
increase in equivalent units due to acquisitions and development.

Fees and Other Income.Fees and other income were $17.2 million
for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, compared to $13.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007, for an increase of 27.0%. The increase was primarily due to customer delivery charge increases effective July 2008 which were
preceded by increases in most markets during the second quarter of this year and increased equivalent units.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales was $156.2 million for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008,
compared to $135.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007, for an increase of $20.8 million or 15.3%. Cost of sales increased 1.7%, as a percentage of net product sales, to 28.5%, compared to 26.8% in the prior year. The increase was
primarily due to increases in the following commodity costs: 12% for cheese costs (net of UFPC hedging benefits), 29% for dough, 4% for meat, 8% for packaging and 62% for vegetable oil. The impact of these overall increases was partially offset by
pricing initiatives.

Direct Labor.Direct labor costs were $154.2 million for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, compared
to $143.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007, an increase of $10.8 million or 7.5%. Direct labor costs decreased 0.2%, as a percentage of net product sales, to 28.2% compared to 28.4% in the prior year. This decrease was
primarily due to the positive impact of sales leverage achieved on fixed labor costs and effective labor management strategies which more than offset higher wage rates caused largely by federal and certain state minimum wage increases.

Other Restaurant Operating Expenses.Other restaurant operating expenses for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 were $176.4 million
compared to $165.5 million for the prior year, an increase of $10.9 million or 6.6%. Other restaurant operating expenses decreased 0.5% as a percent of net product sales, to 32.3% for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2008 compared to 32.8% for
the prior year. The decrease of expenses as a percentage of net product sales compared to the prior year was primarily due to lower depreciation expense associated with short-lived assets becoming fully depreciated during the second quarter of 2007,
without replacement, lower advertising costs and lower delivery driver reimbursement expenses related to changes in our delivery driver reimbursement program in second quarter 2007. Depreciation expense for store operations was $20.1 million or 3.7%
of net product sales for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to $22.0 million or 4.4% of net product sales in the prior year-to-date period. These decreases were partially offset by increased utilities and repair expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 were $31.2
million compared to $29.0 million in the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.2 million compared to the prior year primarily due to increased credit card fees attributable to increased transaction volume,
increased salaries expense and higher personnel and recruiting expenses which were partially offset by acquisition integration related expenses incurred in the prior year but not in the current year.

Corporate Depreciation and Amortization.Corporate depreciation and amortization costs for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 were $9.9
million compared to $9.3 million for the prior year. The increase over the prior year is largely due to increased pre-opening expenses related to the addition of the WingStreet product line at 170 units in 2008.

Net Facility Impairment Charges.We recorded charges of $0.3 million for 14 properties during the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 and $0.4
million for 20 properties during the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007.

Loss (Gain) on Disposition of Assets.Loss on asset
dispositions was $0.1 million for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to gains of $0.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007.

Interest Expense.Interest expense was $24.9 million for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to $28.5 million for the prior year, a decrease of $3.6 million primarily due to lower interest
rates and lower debt levels as compared to the prior year. Our cash borrowing rate decreased 0.8% to 7.5% during the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 and our average outstanding debt balance decreased $14.0
million to $418.4 million in 2008 as compared to the prior year. Interest expense included $1.3 million and $1.6 million for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs in the year-to-date period for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes.For the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, we recorded income tax expense of $3.5 million which resulted in an effective income
tax rate of 32.7% compared to an effective tax rate of 22.6% or $1.6 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007. The rate increase as compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to higher income before taxes in relation to the
impact of high tax credits.

Net Income.Net income for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 was $7.3 million, compared to
$5.6 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007. The increase in net income was primarily due to the benefit of an 8.4% increase in net product sales, increased customer delivery charge income, reduced depreciation and amortization
expense and lower interest expense which were partially offset by increases in commodity costs, general and administrative expenses and income tax expense.

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 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the senior subordinated notes; (2) capital
expenditures, including those for our re-imaging plan, maintenance capital expenditures, and the introduction of the WingStreet product line at certain existing locations; (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
utilization of the additional term loan borrowing capacity under our credit facility described below as well as other sources of debt or additional equity capital. Recently, credit and capital markets have experienced unusual volatility and
disruption, and equity and debt financing have become more expensive and difficult to obtain. These recent changes in the financial and credit markets may impair our ability to obtain additional debt financing at costs similar to that of our current
credit facility. In addition utilization of the additional term loan borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility, beyond parameters established in our current agreement, would result in a reset of the interest rate on our existing term
loan borrowings, which would increase our borrowing costs based on current market conditions. We will continue to evaluate the impact from these market changes as we assess our acquisition and other growth opportunities.

Our working capital was a deficit of $36.2 million as of September 23, 2008, which was favorably impacted by $11.0 million of invested cash reserves
which is cash exceeding the amount required for store operations. 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.

Our excess cash reserves of $11.0 million at September 23, 2008 were invested in money market funds.
These funds are not insured by any government agency. In addition, we have cash relating to store operations in accounts at different depository institutions. Amounts held in these depository accounts may from time to time be in excess of Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits.

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 $49.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 compared to $55.3 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007. Cash flows from
operations during the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008 were negatively impacted by a $6.9 million reduction in working capital as compared to the prior year. To the extent positive cash and cash equivalent account balances remain with the same
institution as book overdraft account balances at period end and the institution has the right of offset, we are required to net those amounts for financial reporting purposes. During the year-to-date period ended September 23, 2008, the
Company had no invested cash netted against book overdrafts. For the year-to-date period ended September 25, 2007 the Company had a $12.1 million positive change due to cash invested in an overnight investment account netted against book
overdrafts at fiscal year end 2006. The impact of these changes results in a $12.1 million reduction in cash flows from working capital from period-to-period which was partially offset by a $7.0 million positive change in income taxes, primarily due
to higher income tax payments during the first half of 2007.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were $32.5 million during the 39 weeks ended
September 23, 2008 compared to $47.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007. During the 39 weeks ended September 23, 2008, we invested $26.5 million in capital expenditures compared to $22.1 million during the prior year.
The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to the addition of the WingStreetproduct line to 170 units for the third quarter
year-to-date period of 2008 for approximately $8.4 million compared to 20 units for approximately $1.4 million during the same period of the prior year. Additionally, during the third quarter 2008 we purchased 13 formerly leased properties for $6.9
million with the intent to sell and leaseback the properties. Five of these properties were sold for $3.1 million in the third quarter (and are included in financing activities below) resulting in a deferred gain of approximately $0.8 million and
the remaining eight properties were included in fixed assets for approximately $4.5 million. During the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007, we completed an acquisition of 59 stores for $27.3 million and received proceeds from asset sales of $1.9
million compared to proceeds from asset sales of $1.0 million for the current year-to-date period.

We expect our capital expenditure
investment, net of anticipated related sale-leaseback proceeds, to be approximately $30 million in fiscal year 2008, not including acquisitions. This estimate includes an investment of approximately $10.0 million to

add the WingStreetproduct line to 180 units and
approximately $1.6 million for information technology equipment for the 99-store acquisition completed in the fourth quarter 2008. We are significantly ahead of schedule on our asset re-image, rebuild/remodel requirements and have the option to
reduce capital expenditures at managements discretion to increase free cash flow and remain comfortably in compliance with our franchise agreements.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net financing cash outflows were $9.8 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 23, 2008 compared to $12.6 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2007. Net pay-downs under the revolving credit facility were $15.5 million through the third quarter of 2008 compared to $4.5 million during the prior year
including the effect of borrowing approximately $11.0 million during the first quarter of 2007 to partially fund our acquisition of 59 stores on March 13, 2007. During the current year, we also paid our mandatory excess cashflow prepayment of
$4.2 million on our Senior Secured Credit Facility compared to a $10.0 million voluntary prepayment on term bank facilities in the prior year. During the first half of fiscal 2008 we completed six sale-leaseback transactions on assets principally
constructed during 2007 for approximately $6.9 million compared to $2.0 million for a sale-leaseback transaction of two properties in the same period of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, we completed sale-leaseback transactions on five
formerly leased properties for approximately $3.1 million. Subsequently, during the fourth quarter 2008, three additional properties were sold for net proceeds of $2.5 million.

We are required, under certain circumstances as defined in our credit agreement, to make an excess cash flow mandatory prepayment on the
term loan notes not later than 120 days after our 2008 fiscal year-end. Based on projected 2008 results, we anticipate that we will be required to make a mandatory prepayment of an amount between $15.9 million and $23.8 million depending
upon the amount of excess cash flow generated during our fiscal year and our leverage at fiscal year-end. The excess cash flow mandatory prepayment is an annual requirement under the credit agreement. As the excess cash flow mandatory
prepayment estimates are preliminary and are therefore subject to further refinement, the final excess cash flow mandatory prepayment could ultimately differ from the amounts reflected above.

At September 23, 2008, we had $50.5 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving line of credit net of $24.5 million of outstanding
letters of credit. We will consider additional sources of financing to fund our long-term growth if necessary. Our existing credit facility included $100.0 million of additional term loan capacity under an accordion feature at the end of the
quarter. On October 8, 2008 we borrowed $40.0 million pursuant to an incremental term loan that we entered into under our existing credit facilitys $100.0 million term loan accordion feature, reducing our available term loan accordion
capacity to $60.0 million. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down borrowings on our revolving credit facility as a result of the fourth quarter 99-store acquisition and augment cash reserves.

Letters of Credit

As of September 23, 2008, we
had letters of credit of $24.5 million issued under our existing credit facility primarily in support of self-insured risks and franchise agreement obligations.



|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 September 23, 2008, we had $235.8 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 LIBOR on the following notional amounts of floating rate debt as noted below:



|                                     |  |                              |        |           |      |  
|------------------------------------ |  | ---------------------------- | ------ | --------- | ---- | -
|                                     |  | NotionalAmount(in thousands) |        | FixedRate |     
|Interest rate swap agreements:       |  |                              |        |           |      |  
|June 6, 2006 to December 31, 2010    |  | $                            | 85,000 |           | 5.39 | %
|January 31, 2008 to January 31, 2010 |  | $                            | 50,000 |           | 3.16 | %
|April 7, 2008 to April 7, 2011       |  | $                            | 50,000 |           | 2.79 | %

After giving effect to these swaps, which leaves us with $50.8 million of floating rate debt, a
1.0% increase in this floating rate would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 for the balance of fiscal year 2008 through a combination of derivatives
taken under the direction of the UFPC. The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical $0.10 adverse change in the average cheese block price per pound would have been approximately $2.3 million and $2.6 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 23, 2008 and September 25, 2007, 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 third fiscal quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



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

From time to time, the Company
is involved in litigation, most of which is incidental to the business.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors.
|-------- | -------------

The following risk factor disclosure
is in addition to the disclosure of risks in Item 1A of our 2007 Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with those disclosures.

A
prolonged economic slowdown or a recession could harm our results of operations.

Our results of operations are dependent upon discretionary
spending by consumers, particularly by consumers living in the communities in which our restaurants are located, and, therefore, we are susceptible to economic slowdowns. A significant weakening in any of the local economies in which we operate may
cause our guests to curtail discretionary spending, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. The United States economy is undergoing a period of slowdown. If current market and economic conditions persist or
deteriorate, we may experience adverse impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Recent uncertainty in the credit
markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms.

The recent volatility and disruption in credit markets could
materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms. We are highly leveraged and our existing substantial leverage coupled with current market conditions could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional debt financing
on reasonable terms. Any inability to access debt financing in the future on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions, refinance our existing indebtedness or materially expand our business.

We could incur substantial losses if one of the third party depository institutions we use in our operations would happen to fail or if the money market funds in
which we hold cash were to incur losses.

As part of our business operations, we maintain cash balances at third party
depository institutions and in money market funds. The balances held in the money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency. The balances held in third party depository institutions, to the extent in
interest bearing accounts, may exceed the FDIC insurance limits or, with respect to non-interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts, may be held in banks which opt out of the FDICs Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. We could incur
substantial losses if the underlying financial institutions fail or are otherwise unable to return our deposits or if the money market funds in which we hold cash were to incur losses.
