*Figures reflect averages of four franchised and four Company-affiliated Toppers Pizza Restaurants located in Wisconsin that were open the entire 52 weeks ended December 31, 2007 as published in Item 19 of our July 2008 Franchise Disclosure Document. The four Company-affiliated Restaurants operated under franchise agreements, paid the same franchise fees as other franchisees, and offered substantially the same products and services as other franchisees. These averages are based on a 52-week annual period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. Of these eight (8) restaurants, 3 (38%) had higher gross sales, 4 (50%) had higher food and paper costs and 3 (38%) had higher net profit during the reported period.

A new franchisee’s results may differ from the represented performance. There is no assurance that you will do as well and you must accept that risk. This offering is made by prospectus only.
