Morgan's Foods, Inc. ("Company") is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 21, 2006 by the prescribed due date of July 5, 2006 without incurring unreasonable effort and expense. The Company requires additional time to complete its financial statements due to the delay in closing its books for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2006 caused by the analysis of a technical accounting issue related to the determination of the amount of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance which was identified during the fiscal 2006 closing process. This issue caused a delay in closing the Company's books for the year which subsequently caused a delay in the closing process for the quarter. The Company expects to complete its closing process and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by July 10, 2006.
