Overview
 
Cash provided by operations was $243 million in fiscal 2008, compared to $110 million in fiscal 2007.
 
Our leverage ratio, as defined by our credit agreement, was 1.8x as of June 30, 2008, compared to 2.1x as of June 30, 2007. The weighted average interest rate on our term debt for fiscal 2008 was 6.0%, which included the benefit of interest rates swaps on 56% of our debt.
 
On January 30, 2008, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $275 million, which became effective on March 31, 2008 and mature on December 31, 2011, and in September 2007, interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $60 million matured. At June 30, 2008, 75% of our debt was hedged using interest rate swaps.
 
During fiscal 2008, we declared and paid four quarterly dividends of $0.0625 per share, resulting in $34 million of cash payments to shareholders of record. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0625 that is payable on September 30, 2008 to shareholders of record on September 12, 2008.

During fiscal 2008, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock under our previously announced share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $32 million, which we will retain in treasury for future use. As of July 1, 2008, we had $68 million remaining under the share repurchase program. We intend to use a portion of our excess cash to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program depending on market conditions.
 
We had cash and cash equivalents of $166 million as of June 30, 2008. In addition, as of June 30, 2008, we had a borrowing capacity of $73 million under our $150 million revolving credit.
 
On July 16, 2008, we acquired 72 restaurants in Nebraska and Iowa from one of our franchisees for a purchase price of approximately $67 million.
 
We expect that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will allow us to meet cash requirements, including capital expenditures, tax payments, dividends, debt service payments and share repurchases, if any, over the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. If additional funds are needed for strategic initiatives or other corporate purposes, we believe we could incur additional debt or raise funds through the issuance of our equity securities.

By lowering our leverage ratio, the interest rate on our Term Loan A of our senior secured credit facility decreased by 50 basis points.
