Certain statements in this Annual Report contain “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future
events and developments and our future performance, as well as management’s
current expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the
future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertain-
ties. Examples of such statements in this Annual Report include discussions
regarding the Company’s planned implementation of its new strategic plan
and the future growth of the Popeyes system including unit growth potential.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: competition from
other restaurant concepts and food retailers, the loss of franchisees and other
business partners, 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 loss of senior management 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 protec-
tion of our intellectual property and liabilities for environmental contamination
and the other risk factors detailed in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There-
fore, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
