These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks

actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-

labor shortages or increased labor costs, increased costs of our
principal food products, changes in consumer preferences and
demographic trends, as well as concerns about health or food quality,
instances of avian flu or other food-borne illnesses, the need to
continue to improve our internal controls, adverse effects on opera-
tions from Hurricane Katrina, the Company’s ability to recover related
losses from its insurers and the economic impact on consumer
spending in markets affected by Katrina, the loss of senior manage-
ment and the inability to attract and retain additional qualified
management personnel, limitations on our business under our 2005
Credit Facility, failure of our franchisees, a decline in the number of
franchised units, a decline in our ability to franchise new units,
slowed expansion into new markets, unexpected and adverse
fluctuations in quarterly results, increased government regulation,
adverse effects of regulatory actions arising in connection with the
restatement of our previously issued financial statements, effects of
increased gasoline prices, general economic conditions, supply and
delivery shortages or interruptions, currency, economic and political
factors that affect our international operations, inadequate protection
of our intellectual property and liabilities for environmental contami-
