                                 Risk Factors

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes various forward-looking statements
about Domino's that are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking
statements include information concerning future results of operations, and
business strategy.  Also, statements that contain words such as "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimated" or similar expressions are
forward-looking statements.  We have based these forward looking statements on
our current expectations and projections about future events.  While we believe
these expectations and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about
us, including the following factors. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.  In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K might not occur.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and
severely limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.
In addition, we are permitted to incur substantially more debt in the future,
which could aggravate these risks described below.

To finance the 1998 recapitalization, we have incurred a significant amount of
indebtedness.  Further, the terms of the indenture relating to our senior
subordinated notes permit us to incur substantial indebtedness in the future,
including up to an addition $100 million under our revolving credit facility.
Our ability to make payment on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend on
our ability to generate cash in the future.  This, to a certain extent, is
subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and
other factors that are beyond our control.  Based on our current level of
operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available borrowings
under our new revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity
needs over the next several years.

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash
flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under
our revolving credit facility in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay our
indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.  If we cannot generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our indebtedness when due, we may
need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity,
sell assets, delay capital expenditures, or seek additional equity.  We cannot
assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on
commercially reasonable terms or at all or that any other action can be effected
on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Our substantial indebtedness could have other important consequences.  For
example, it could:

          .    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
               industry conditions;

          .    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
               from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing
               the availability of our cash flow for other purposes;

          .    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in
               our business and the industry in which we operate, thereby
               placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
               competitors that may have less debt;

          .    limit, by the financial and other restrictive covenants in the
               indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow
               additional funds; and

          .    have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with
               the covenants in our indebtedness because such failure could
               result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived,
               could result in a substantial amount of our indebtedness becoming
               immediately due and payable.

The pizza delivery market is highly competitive, and increased competition could
adversely affect our operating results.

We believe we compete on the basis of product quality, delivery time, service
and price.  We compete in the United States against three national chains, Pizza
Hut, Papa John's and, to a lesser extent, Little Caesars, along with regional
and local concerns.  Although we believe we are well positioned to compete
because of our leading market position, focus and expertise in the pizza
delivery business and strong national brand name recognition, we could
experience increased competition from existing or new companies and loss of
market share, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

We also compete on a broader scale with other international, national, regional
and local restaurants and quick-service eating establishments.  No reasonable
estimate can be made of the number of competitors on this scale.  The overall
food service industry and the quick-service eating establishment segment are
intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience
and concept, and are often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national,
regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations to the extent
international operations are involved; demographic trends; and disposable
purchasing power.  We compete within the food service industry and the quick-
service eating establishment segment not only for customers, but also for
management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites and qualified
franchisees.

We do not have written contracts with most of our suppliers, and as a result
they could seek to significantly increase prices or fail to deliver as required.

We have historically had long-lasting relationships with our suppliers.  More
than half of our major suppliers have been with us for over 15 years.  As a
result, we typically rely on oral rather than written contracts with our
suppliers.  Although we have not experienced significant problems with our
suppliers, there can be no assurance that our suppliers will not implement
significant price increases or that suppliers will meet our requirements in a
timely fashion, if at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results.

Increases in food, labor and other costs could adversely affect our
profitability and operating results.

An increase in our operating costs could adversely affect our profitability.
Factors such as inflation, increased food costs, increased labor and employee
benefit costs and the availability of qualified management and hourly employees
may adversely affect our operating costs.  Most of the factors affecting costs
are beyond our control.  Most products used in our pizza, particularly cheese,
are subject to price fluctuations, seasonality, weather, demand and other
factors.  Labor costs are primarily a function of minimum wage and availability
of labor.  Cheese and labor costs of a typical store represent approximately
10.0% and 30.0% of store sales, respectively, although we only bear such costs
at our Company-owned stores.

If we fail to successfully implement our growth strategy, our ability to
increase our revenues and operating profit could be adversely affected.

We have grown rapidly in recent periods.  We intend to continue our growth
strategy primarily by increasing the number of our domestic and international
stores.  We and our franchisees face many challenges in opening new stores,
including, among others:

          .    selection and availability of suitable store locations;

          .    negotiation of acceptable lease or financing terms;

          .    securing of required domestic or foreign governmental permits and
               approvals; and

          .    employment and training of qualified personnel.
<PAGE>

The opening of additional franchises also depends, in part, upon the
availability of prospective franchisees who meet our criteria.  Our failure to
add a significant number of new stores would adversely affect our ability to
increase revenue and operating income.  In addition, although we have
successfully tested the Delivery Express concept, we have not yet opened a
significant number of Delivery Express stores and cannot predict with certainty
the success of the concept on a widespread basis.

Our international operations subject us to additional risks which may differ in
each country in which we do business.

Our financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected when
global markets in which our franchised stores compete are affected by changes in
political, economic or other factors.  These factors over which neither we nor
our franchisees have control may include changes in exchange rates, inflation
rates, recessionary or expansive trends, tax changes, legal and regulatory
changes or other external factors.  We are currently planning to expand our
international operations which may increase the effect of these factors.


Our business depends on the retention of our current senior executives and the
recruitment and retention of qualified personnel

Our success will continue to depend to a significant extent on our executive
team and other key management personnel.  We have entered into employment
agreements with certain of our executive officers.  There can be no assurance
that we will be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or
attract additional qualified management.  Our success also will continue to
depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to operate our
stores, distribution centers and international operations.  The loss of these
employees or our inability to recruit and retain qualified employees could have
a material adverse effect on our operating results.

The ability of the Company to take major corporate actions is limited by the
TISM stockholders agreement.

In connection with the recapitalization, all of the stockholders of TISM entered
into a stockholders agreement which provides, among other things, that the
approval of the holders of a majority of the voting stock of TISM subject to the
stockholders agreement will be required for TISM or its subsidiaries, including
the Company, to take various specified actions, including among others, major
corporate transactions such as a sale or initial public offering, acquisitions
and divestitures, financings, recapitalizations and mergers, as well as other
actions such as hiring and firing senior managers, setting management
compensation and establishing capital and operating budgets and business plans.
Pursuant to the stockholders agreement and the Articles of Incorporation of
TISM, the Bain Capital funds will have the power to block any such transaction
or action and to elect up to half of the Board of Directors of TISM.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change
of control offer required by our indenture.

Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control events, we
must offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes.  It is possible, however, that
we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of control to make
the required repurchase of the Notes or that restrictions in our senior credit
facilities will not allow such repurchases.  In addition, certain important
corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the
level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a change of control under the
indenture.

The occurrences of certain of the events that would constitute a change of
control under the indenture would constitute a default under the senior credit
facilities.  Our senior indebtedness and the senior
<PAGE>

indebtedness of our subsidiaries may also contain prohibitions of certain events
that would constitute a change of control. Moreover, the exercise by the holders
of the Notes of their right to require us to repurchase the Notes could cause a
default under such senior indebtedness, even if the change of control itself
does not, due to the financial effect on us of such repurchase. The terms of the
senior credit facilities will, and other senior debt may, prohibit the
prepayment of the Notes by us prior to their scheduled maturity. Consequently,
if we are not able to prepay the indebtedness under the senior credit facilities
and any other senior indebtedness containing similar restrictions, we will be
unable to fulfill our repurchase obligations if holders of the Notes exercise
their repurchase rights following a change of control, thereby resulting in a
default under the indenture.

There can be no assurance that our current insurance coverage will be adequate,
that insurance premiums for such coverage will not increase or that in the
future we will be able to obtain insurance at acceptable rates, if at all.

Through December 19, 1998, we self-insured our commercial general liability,
automobile liability, and workers' compensation liability exposures up to levels
ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, and maintained excess and
umbrella insurance coverage above those levels up to amounts ranging from $60
million to $105 million per occurrence on our commercial general liability and
automobile liability policies and up to statutory limits on our workers'
compensation policies.  Effective December 20, 1998, we acquired first-dollar
insurance coverage for all of the above exposures, with total coverage of $106
million per occurrence on our commercial general liability and automobile
liability policies and up to statutory limits on our workers' compensation
policies.  We also maintain commercial property liability insurance.  These
policies provide a variety of coverages and are subject to various limitations,
exclusions and deductibles.  There can be no assurance that such liability
limitations will be adequate, that insurance premiums for such coverage will not
increase or that in the future we will be able to obtain insurance at acceptable
rates, if at all.  Any such inadequacy of or inability to obtain insurance
coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations
