The Bistro achieved positive same store sales in the third quarter of 2010 including the benefit of positive traffic throughout the entire quarter.

Comparable store sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 reflect results from the 13 week operating period in the current year compared to the same 13 week operating period in the prior year.
Global Brand Development
Global Brand Development revenues totaled $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2010 related to six international Bistro restaurants and a new line of premium frozen food entrées, all of which operate under licensing agreements as well as two Bistro restaurants operated in Hawaii under a joint venture arrangement.
General and administrative expenses

Additionally, higher excise taxes were recognized in connection with a multi-year state tax audit of the Company’s partnership returns (approximately $0.02 per share).
2010 Expectations
The Company anticipates that fiscal 2010 consolidated revenues will increase slightly compared to fiscal 2009, including expectations of slightly higher average weekly sales at Pei Wei and slightly lower average weekly sales at the Bistro for the full year. The Company expects fiscal 2010 restaurant operating margins to be slightly lower than fiscal 2009 and consolidated diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2010 to approximate $1.95.
The Company expects to open one new Bistro restaurant during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company also plans to repurchase approximately $40.0 million in common shares under its current share repurchase authorization during fiscal 2010. The Company repurchased $26.2 million of its common shares through the quarter ended October 3, 2010.
Quarterly dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a cash dividend payment of $0.21 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock.
