Dow Jones Description

The Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in October 1997. Prior to October 1997, our operations were conducted through The New York Restaurant Group, LLC (NYRG), our predecessor limited liability company. During October 1997, NYRG merged with SWRG. We are a developer, owner and operator of high-end, high-volume restaurants in the United States. Our core concept is Smith & Wollensky, a classic American restaurant. Management believes Smith & Wollensky is a recognized brand name in the upscale segment of the restaurant industry. At January 1, 2007, we operated 14 restaurants, eleven of which were owned and three of which were managed. We own eight of the nine Smith & Wollensky restaurants we operate. In addition we own a Smith & Wollensky unit in New Orleans, Louisiana (S&W of New Orleans), which closed on August 29, 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina and a Smith & Wollensky unit in Dallas, Texas (S&W of Dallas), which closed on December 31, 2006 because it was unable to achieve a level of income from operations that was in line with our expectations. At January 1, 2007, both S&W of New Orleans and S&W of Dallas were listed as available for sale. We are currently under contract to sell the property for the Smith & Wollensky in Dallas for $3.9 million, less commission and other expenses of approximately $250,000. We plan on closing on the sale of the Dallas property during the beginning of April 2007. ...
