Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and area development and foreign master license sales, decreased 1%, or $15,000, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. Franchise revenues decreased 2%, or $57,000, for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in domestic royalties was the result of lower retail sales driven by unit closures and the decrease in comparable store sales. The decrease in domestic royalties was partially offset by higher domestic and international franchise fees and income generated from the buyout by a franchisee of an existing franchise agreement for $44,000 in the first quarter of this fiscal year. Due to the “0% First Year Royalty” incentive program the Company had in place for new franchise Buffet Units signed by the end of the prior fiscal year, new Buffet Units opened during the current fiscal year have not generated increased domestic royalties.
