• These expenses do not reflect a 5% management fee paid to the principal owner of each restaurant.

• The Gross Sales of these Toppers Pizza restaurants are impacted by the recognition and goodwill that Toppers Pizza restaurants benefit from in the Midwest of the United States. Although the franchisor believes Toppers Pizza restaurants will have consumer appeal that will extend well beyond the Midwest, the concept has had only limited operating history outside of its core market.

• Restaurants owned by the franchisor’s affiliate will contribute to the Advertising and Marketing Fund on the same basis as franchisees.
