Cosi, Inc Company Presentation

Safe Harbor Concerning Forward Looking Statements Matters discussed in this presentation that relate to events or developments which are expected to occur in the future, including any discussion, expressed or implied, of anticipated growth, new store openings, operating results or earnings constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to management. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to: the cost of our principal food products; labor shortages or increased labor costs; changes in consumer preferences and demographic trends; increasing competition in the fast casual dining segment of the restaurant industry; expansion into new markets; our ability to effectively manage our business with a reduced general and administrative staff; our ability to generate increased revenue from our existing restaurants; the rate of our internal growth; our ability to incorporate a franchising and area development model into our strategy; the availability and cost of additional financing both to fund our existing operations and to grow and open new restaurants Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations fluctuations in our quarterly results; increased government regulation; supply and delivery shortages or interruptions; market saturation due to new restaurant openings; inadequate protection of our intellectual property; adverse weather conditions which impact customer traffic at our restaurants; and adverse economic conditions. The words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "objective," "seek," "plan," "strive" or similar words, or the negatives of these words, identify forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. A Così SIMPLY GOOD TASTE 2 Ν
