AFCs Overall Business Strategy




For 2005, our key corporate strategies relate to:




| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | 1. | Restructuring our Corporate Staff. As part of our
    efforts to reduce overhead costs, we have reduced our corporate
    staffing from 86 persons as of December 28, 2003 to 17
    persons as of January 3, 2005. Some of this reduction
    involved persons transferred to our brand operations (Popeyes,
    Churchs and Cinnabon), while some of it constituted a
    permanent reduction in company-wide staffing. We also terminated
    our corporate lease and re-leased a portion of our former space
    for part of 2005.



| |                                                                                                                                                                                  
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | During 2005, we expect to further reduce our corporate staffing
    and to eventually integrate the remaining AFC corporate
    employees into the corporate function at Popeyes.



| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | 2. | Deploying the Cash Proceeds from the Churchs
    Sale. Two days after our 2004 fiscal year end, we sold
    our Churchs operations and certain real property. Cash
    proceeds from these sales, net of transaction costs and
    adjustments, are estimated at $373.0 million. We are
    exploring alternative uses for these proceeds.



| |                                                                                                                                                                                                              
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Presently the proceeds from the Churchs sale are invested
    in bank repurchase agreements, money market funds, high quality
    municipal securities, commercial paper and variable rate demand
    notes.



| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | 3. | Restructuring Our Financing Relationships. Our
    2002 Credit Facility was amended and restated in conjunction
    with the sale of Churchs. As a condition to obtaining
    lender approval and release of the liens associated with the
    Churchs assets, we agreed to deposit $125.5 million
    of the proceeds from the sale of Churchs into an account
    to collateralize outstanding indebtedness of the facility and
    certain contingencies. Also, debt maturities associated with the
    facility were accelerated to March 2006.



| |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Presently, we are pursuing refinancing alternatives as it
    concerns our 2002 Credit Facility in order to release the cash
    collateral referred to above, expand our ability to use the
    proceeds from the Churchs sale, and to establish a debt
    structure that will meet our capital needs in the years ahead.

| | 4. | Reducing General and Administrative Expenses.
    During 2003 and 2004, our general and administrative expenses
    rose significantly, despite an ongoing effort to reduce such
    costs. The cost of implementing new information technology
    systems, the cost associated with our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
    testing and improvement measures, audit fees, outside consultant
    fees and severance payments increased our general and
    administrative expenses in both those years. We expect most of
    these cost components to decline in 2005, as well as salary
    costs associated with our corporate operations. However, we
    expect increased severance costs in 2005.



For 2005, our key operational strategies at Popeyes relate
to:

| | 1. | Growing System Sales Through Increased
    Franchising. We intend to pursue business growth
    principally through franchising activities. We believe that our
    focus on franchising provides us with higher profit margins and
    enhanced investment returns when compared to a growth strategy
    principally focused on building new company-operated
    restaurants. As of December 26, 2004, approximately 97% of
    Popeyes 1,825 system-wide restaurants were franchised, and we
    had development commitments from existing and new franchisees to
    open 635 additional restaurants.
|
| | 2. | Growing System Sales Through Menu Enhancements. We
    are continuing to review our Popeyes menu to find the optimal
    mix of products that drive our lunch, snack and dinner day-parts
    and help bring incremental transactions into our restaurants and
    the restaurants of our franchisees. Our focus includes
    additional boneless chicken offerings (sandwiches and strips)
    and new seafood offerings.                                                                                                                                                                                
|
| | 3. | Growing System Sales Through Restaurant Development and
    Re-imaging. We and our franchisees are in the process of
    reimaging our Popeyes system from our previous
    Red-White-Blue restaurant image to our updated
    Heritage image, which provides a distinctive image
    incorporating elements of New Orleans architecture and colors.
    Approximately 45% of Popeyes system-wide restaurants have
    adopted the Heritage format and we anticipate having the entire
    system converted to the Heritage format by 2008.                                                           
|
| | 4. | Growing System Sales Through Creative Marketing.
    We are continuing to review our media and advertising strategies
    to maximize the effectiveness of the marketing funds generated
    from our Popeyes system. Our advertising continues to emphasize
    our distinctive food and flavors using tag lines and props that
    are catchy and memorable. Our media spending typically focuses
    on television, radio and print options at the local market level
    rather than a national focus because we believe this maximizes
    the effectiveness of our media dollars.                   
|
| | 5. | Growing System Sales Through Improved Restaurant
    Operations. A key opportunity for Popeyes will be to
    drive top line sales by improving the level of operations in our
    restaurants, both in the dining room and at the drive-thru. In
    2004, we made significant investments to improve the level and
    number of field service personnel for operations, marketing and
    development, as well as adding a system-wide mystery shop
    program that periodically reviews all restaurants in our
    domestic system.

| | (a) | Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December. Fiscal year
    2000 includes 53 weeks. All other years shown include
    52 weeks.

| | (b) | In 2004, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
    Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
    Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research
    Bulletin No. 51, as revised in December 2003
    (FIN 46R) and began consolidating certain
    franchisees that qualified for consolidation under FIN 46R.
    In 2004, the consolidation of these franchisees increased sales
    by company-operated restaurants by $12.6 million.

|(3) | Franchise revenues are principally composed of royalty payments
    from franchisees that are determined based upon franchisee
    sales. While franchisee sales are not recorded as revenues by
    the Company, management believes they are important in
    understanding the Companys financial performance because
    these sales are indicative of the Companys financial
    health, given the Companys strategic focus on growing its
    overall business through franchising. Franchisee sales were
    $1,452 million in 2004, $1,386 million in 2003,
    $1,335 million in 2002, $1,216 million in 2001 and
    $1,088 million in 2000.

| | (a) | During the first quarter of 2002, we adopted
    SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
    Assets, and, at that time, discontinued our prior practice
    of amortizing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
    assets. These assets are now being accounted for by the
    impairment-only approach. For each of 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and
    2000, amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million,
    $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $3.3 million, and

|
| | (d) | During 2003, we incurred approximately $14.0 million in
    costs associated with the re-audit and restatement of previously
    issued financial statements, an independent investigation
    commissioned by our Audit Committee and legal fees associated
    the shareholder lawsuit described in Item 3 of this report.
    There were no comparable costs in prior years. During 2004, we
    incurred approximately $3.8 million of additional costs
    associated with the shareholder lawsuit.

|(5) | Loss before discontinued operations and accounting change
    includes interest expense, net of approximately
    $5.5 million in 2004, $5.3 million in 2003,
    $21.1 million in 2002, $24.3 million in 2001, and
    $32.7 million in 2000. Interest expense was substantially
    higher in 2002, 2001 and 2000 due to substantially higher debt
    balances and higher interests rates associated with such debt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|   
|(6) | Net income (loss) includes discontinued operations which
    provided income (loss) of $39.1 million in 2004,
    $5.6 million in 2003, $(5.3) million in 2002,
    $27.0 million in 2001 and $37.5 million in 2000.
    Discontinued operations include: in 2004, the write-off of
    $6.5 million of goodwill and other intangible assets
    associated with Cinnabon and the recognition of a
    $22.6 million tax benefit associated with capital loss
    carryforwards that arose with the sale of Cinnabon; in 2003, the
    write-off of $26.2 million of intangible assets associated
    with Cinnabon; and in 2002, the write-off of $45.1 million
    of goodwill and other assets associated with Seattle Coffee.                          
|   
|(7) | Weighted average common shares for the computation of basic
    earnings per common share were 28.1 million,
    27.8 million, 30.0 million, 29.5 million and
    26.3 million for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000,
    respectively. Weighted average common shares for the computation
    of diluted earnings per common share were 28.1 million,
    27.8 million, 30.0 million, 29.5 million and
    26.3 million for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000,
    respectively. For all five years presented, potentially dilutive
    employee stock options were excluded from the computation of
    dilutive earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect they
    would have on loss before discontinued operations and
    accounting change.

|(1) | Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December. Fiscal year
    2000 includes 53 weeks. All other years shown include
    52 weeks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|(2) | Restaurants are included in the computation of same-store sales
    after they have been open 15 months. Same-store sales for
    2000 is calculated by comparing the 53 weeks of sales for
    2000 to the prior 53 weeks, which includes the
    52 weeks from 1999 plus the first week of 2000.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|(3) | Unit conversions include the sale or, in limited circumstances,
    the buy-back of company-operated restaurants to/from a
    franchisee.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|(4) | Temporary closings are presented net of re-openings. Most
    temporary closings arise due to the re-imaging or the rebuilding
    of older restaurants.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|(5) | Outstanding commitments represent obligations to open franchised
    restaurants under executed development agreements. The decline
    in outstanding commitments during 2003 and 2004 is due to four
    factors, (i) the slowdown in new commitments resulting from
    the suspension, during a substantial portion of 2003 and 2004,
    of our domestic franchising due to our delay in producing
    current financial statements to include in Uniform Franchise
    Offering Circulars, (ii) a slowdown associated with general
    economic conditions, (iii) the expiration of prior
    commitments, and (iv) new openings associated with prior
    commitments.

| |  | In 2004, we adopted FIN 46R and began consolidating certain
    franchisees that qualified for consolidation. In 2004, the
    consolidation of these franchisees increased sales by
    company-operated restaurants by $12.6 million.

| |  | During 2004, general and administrative expenses include
    approximately $10.8 million relating to corporate severance
    costs, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, implementation of a new
    information technology system, and legal and other costs
    associated with the settlement of certain franchisee disputes.
    During 2003, general and administrative expenses include
    approximately $5.0 million relating to employee severance
    costs and consultant fees for a productivity initiative.

Risks Factors That May Affect Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


Certain statements we make in this filing, and other written
or oral statements made by or on our behalf, may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. Words or phrases such as should
result, are expected to, we
anticipate, we estimate, we
project, we believe, or similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our
historical experience and our present expectations or
projections. We believe that these forward-looking statements
are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on
such statements. Such statements speak only as of the date they
are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
future events, new information or otherwise. The following risk
factors, and others that we may add from time to time, are some
of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from the expected results described in our
forward-looking statements.

| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Litigation or regulatory actions arising in connection
    with the restatement of our financial statements could adversely
    affect our financial condition.









| |                                                                                                                                                                   
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Relationships with franchisees and our vendors and
    suppliers may be adversely affected by our restatement of our
    financial results and related litigation.

| | Because our operating results are closely tied to the
    success of our franchisees, the failure of one or more of these
    franchisees could adversely affect our operating results.

| | The Companys procedures associated with accounting for
    accounts payable and accrued liabilities were not sufficient to
    ensure that vendor invoices received subsequent to period end
    were reflected in the proper accounting period in the
    Companys reported financial information. The
    Companys procedures did not provide for timely
    communication between operational departments and the accounting
    department and timely processing of restaurant operational and
    capital invoices into the accounts payable system. This material
    weakness in internal control over financial reporting resulted
    in material misstatements to amounts recorded for accounts
    payable and accrued liabilities, and assets or expense accounts
    to which the associated invoices related. The identified
    misstatements were corrected prior to issuance of the
    Companys 2004 consolidated financial statements.
|
| | The Companys procedures did not provide for effective
    oversight and review of the Companys income tax accounting
    estimates. Specifically, the Company did not maintain adequate
    review procedures by qualified personnel related to the
    determination of its current and deferred income tax account
    balances, which resulted in material misstatements to amounts
    recorded for income tax assets, income tax liabilities, and
    income tax benefit. The identified misstatements were corrected
    prior to issuance of the Companys 2004 consolidated
    financial statements.

| | The Companys procedures associated with accounting for
    accounts payable and accrued liabilities were not sufficient to
    ensure that vendor invoices received subsequent to period end
    were reflected in the proper accounting period in the
    Companys reported financial information. The
    Companys procedures did not provide for timely
    communication between operational departments and the accounting
    department and timely processing of restaurant operational and
    capital invoices into the accounts payable system. This material
    weakness in internal control over financial reporting resulted
    in material misstatements to amounts recorded for accounts
    payable and accrued liabilities, and assets or expense accounts
    to which the associated invoices related.

| | (a) In 2004, 2003, and 2002, potentially dilutive employee
    stock options were excluded from the computation of dilutive
    earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect they would
    have on loss before discontinued operations and accounting
    change. The number of additional shares that otherwise
    would have been included in the denominator for the dilutive
    earnings per share computation for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were
    1.0 million, 0.9 million, and 1.5 million,
    respectively.
