3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic  earnings  per share  amounts  are  computed  based on the  weighted
average  number  of  shares  actually  outstanding.   For  purposes  of  diluted
computations,  average shares  outstanding  has been adjusted to reflect (1) the
number of  shares  that  would be issued  from the  exercise  of stock  options,
reduced  by the  number of shares  which  could  have  been  purchased  from the
proceeds  at the average  market  price of the  Company's  stock or price of the
Company's stock on the exercise date if options were exercised during the period
presented  and (2) the  number  of shares  that may be  issuable  to effect  the
settlement  of  certain  deferred  compensation   liabilities  pursuant  to  the
Company's Stock Option Deferred Compensation Plan. The effect of shares issuable
to settle the deferred compensation  liabilities have not been presented for the
periods as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

      The weighted average shares  outstanding for the periods  presented are as
follows (in thousands):

                                  For the twelve weeks ended      For the twenty-four weeks ended

4.    LONG - TERM REVOLVER

      The  Company has a credit  facility  pursuant  to an  unsecured  revolving
credit agreement with a group of banks led by SunTrust Bank. The credit facility
allows the Company to borrow up to $50,000.  The  commitment  terminates at June
30, 2004;  however,  it is subject to  acceleration  in the event of a change of
control of the Company as that term is defined in the credit  agreement.  At the
time of each borrowing, the Company may elect to pay interest at either SunTrust
Bank's  published  prime rate or a rate  determined by reference to the Adjusted
LIBOR rate. The Company is required to achieve certain  financial  ratios and to
maintain  certain  net worth  amounts as defined  in the credit  agreement.  The
Company is required to pay on a quarterly basis a facility fee equal to .25% per
annum on the daily unused amount of the credit facility. At June 17, 2003 and at
December 31, 2002, there were no borrowings  outstanding  pursuant to the credit
facility.

      The Company also has entered into a $5,000  revolving  term loan agreement
with a bank,  under which no borrowings were outstanding at June 17, 2003 and at
December  31,  2002.  The loan  commitment  matures in August 2004 and  requires
interest only  payments  through April 2003, at which time the loan will convert
to a term note with  monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  sufficient  to
amortize the loan over its  remaining  term.  The interest rate is at .50% below
the daily prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal.  In addition,  the
Company pays a facility fee of .25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the
credit facility.

5.    COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

      The Board of  Directors  has from time to time  authorized  the Company to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock in the open market or in privately
negotiated  transactions.  The Company  purchased  891,000  shares of its common
stock during the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003, and made no purchases of
its common stock during the  twenty-four  weeks ended June 11, 2002. The Company
is accounting  for the purchases  using the  constructive  retirement  method of
accounting wherein the aggregate par value of the stock is charged to the common
stock  account  and the  excess  of cost over par value is  charged  to  paid-in
capital.

      In  September   2002,  the  Company   adopted  a  Stock  Option   Deferred
Compensation  Plan (the "Plan"),  which allows  certain key  executives to defer
compensation  arising  from the  exercise  of stock  options  granted  under the
Company's  1992  Incentive  and  Nonqualified  Stock  Option  Plan.  During  the
twenty-four  weeks ended June 17, 2003, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its
common  stock to effect the  exercise  of such stock  options  in  exchange  for
122,855  shares of the  Company's  common stock as payment for such shares.  The
122,855  shares  received  by the Company  were  cancelled.  The Company  issued
122,855  shares to the  optionee  and  pursuant  to the  terms of the Plan,  the
Company  issued 177,145 shares to a Rabbi trust (the "Trust") with Intrust Bank,
NA serving as the  trustee.  The Trust  holds the shares for the  benefit of the
participating  employees  ("Participant(s)").  Under  the  terms  of  the  Plan,
Participants may elect to change the Plan's  investments from time to time which
may result in the sale of the  shares.  Since the  shares  held by the Trust are
held pursuant to a deferred  compensation  arrangement whereby amounts earned by
an employee  are  invested in the stock of the employer and placed in the Trust,
the Company  accounts for the  arrangement  as required by Emerging  Issues Task
Force   ("EITF")   consensus  on  Issue  No.  97-14,   ACCOUNTING  FOR  DEFERRED
COMPENSATION  ARRANGEMENTS  WHERE  AMOUNTS  EARNED ARE HELD IN A RABBI TRUST AND
INVESTED  ("EITF  No.  97-14").  Accordingly,  shares  issued to the Trust  were
recorded at fair market value at the date issued by the Company in the amount of
$3,663,  which is reflected in the accompanying  Condensed  Consolidated Balance

                                      -7-





Sheets as Common Stock Held By Trust. The  corresponding  amount was credited to
deferred  compensation  obligations.  Each period, the shares owned by the Trust
are  valued at the  closing  market  price,  with  corresponding  changes in the
underlying  shares being  reflected as adjustments to  compensation  expense and
deferred  compensation  obligations.  At June 17,  2003,  the Trust held 177,145
shares of the Company's  common stock.  Included in non-cash stock  compensation
expense for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003 was a charge of
$409 relating to the accounting for such shares.

6.    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

      In December  2002,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Boards  ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE, AN AMENDMENT OF SFAS NO.
123.  Accordingly,  effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company
changed  its  method  of  accounting  as the  Company  adopted  the  fair  value
recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 for employee stock-based compensation. The
Company  now  values  stock  options  based  upon an  option  pricing  model and
recognizes  their value as an expense over the period in which options vest. The
Company elected to apply the retroactive  restatement method as provided in SFAS
No.  148 and as a result  all prior  periods  presented  have been  restated  to
reflect the  compensation  expense that would have been  recognized had SFAS No.
123 been applied to all awards  granted to employees  after January 1, 1995. The
effect of this change was to  increase  net income  $3,373  ($0.13 per share for
basic earnings and $0.11 per share for diluted  earnings) and $19,392 ($0.79 per
share for basic  earnings  and $0.69  per share for  diluted  earnings)  for the
twelve weeks and the twenty-four weeks ended June 11, 2002, respectively.

7.    ACCOUNTING CHANGES

      During  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2002,  the  Company  adopted  the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, requiring that
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized. The application of the impairment provisions of SFAS No. 142 resulted
in a charge for the  cumulative  effect of an  accounting  change of $318,000 or
$.02 per basic share, net of income taxes of $190,000,  to reflect impairment of
certain goodwill related to Australian investments.

      In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  ACCOUNTING  FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED  ASSETS.  SFAS No. 144 supersedes  SFAS No.
121,  ACCOUNTING  FOR THE  IMPAIRMENT  OF LONG-LIVED  ASSETS AND FOR  LONG-LIVED
ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF and resolves significant implementation issues that had
evolved  since the issuance of SFAS No. 121.  SFAS No. 144  established a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or abandonment.
Additionally,  SFAS No.  144  expanded  the scope of  financial  accounting  and
reporting  of  discontinued  operations  previously  addressed  in APB No. 30 to
require that all  components  of an entity that have either been disposed of (by
sale, by  abandonment,  or in a distribution to owners) or are held for sale and
whose operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished,  operationally and
for  financial  reporting  purposes  from  the  rest of the  entity,  should  be
presented as  discontinued  operations.  SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial
statements  issued for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15,  2001.  The
provisions for presenting the components of an entity as discontinued operations
are effective  only for disposal  activities  initiated by the Company after the
effective date of the Statement.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
144,  effective  December  26,  2001.  Pursuant  to SFAS No. 144,  each  Company
restaurant is a component of the entity whose  operations  can be  distinguished
from the rest of the Company;  therefore,  when a  restaurant  is closed and the

                                      -8-





restaurant is either held for sale or  abandoned,  the  restaurant's  operations
will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company.  Accordingly, the
operations  of such  restaurants,  net of  applicable  income  taxes,  have been
presented as discontinued  operations and prior period financial statements have
been reclassified.

      In June  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  146,  ACCOUNTING  FOR  COSTS
ASSOCIATED  WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL  ACTIVITIES.  This  statement  requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal  activity be recognized
only when the liability is incurred and measured at fair value.  SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company has adopted this  Statement  effective  January 1, 2003,  and it did not
have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

8.    ABANDONED MERGER EXPENSES

      On May 4, 2002, the non-binding  Letter of Intent  previously  signed with
Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., LLC ("BRS") with respect to the proposed sale
and  merger  of the  Company  expired,  as the  Company  and BRS were  unable to
complete a  definitive  agreement.  The direct  costs  incurred  by the  Company
associated with the proposed  merger,  primarily  consisting of fees paid to the
Company's  investment  advisors  and  legal  counsel  as well as  certain  costs
reimbursed  by the Company to BRS in connection  with its due diligence  efforts
pursuant  to the  terms of the  Letter  of Intent  were  expensed  and have been
included in the accompanying condensed  consolidated  statements of income under
the caption "Abandoned Merger Expenses."

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On July 3, 2003, the Board of Directors declared the Company's quarterly
cash dividend of $0.165 per share payable July 28, 2003 to stockholders of
record on July 14, 2003.

10.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 144 as previously described in Note
7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company closed certain
restaurants  during the year ended  December 31, 2002 which met the criteria for
the  operations  of  the   restaurants  to  be  accounted  for  as  discontinued
operations.  The  components  of the loss from  discontinued  operations  are as
follows:

11.   INCOME TAX

      The  effective  income tax rate was 28.9% and 36.7% for the  twelve  weeks
ended June 17, 2003 and June 11, 2002, respectively, and 31.9% and 37.6% for the
twenty-four  weeks  ended June 17,  2003 and June 11,  2002,  respectively.  The
factors which cause the  effective tax rates to vary from the federal  statutory
rate of 35%  include  state  income  taxes,  the  impact  of FICA Tip and  other
credits,  certain non-deductible expenses, and the tax effect of incentive stock
options.  There is  generally  no tax  impact  to the  Company  associated  with
incentive  stock  options  and the  related  amortization  associated  with such
options in the income statement.  However, tax benefits may arise related to the
incentive stock options at the time the options are exercised to the extent that
the  exercise is followed by a  disqualifying  disposition  of the shares by the
optionee.  The effective tax rates for the 2003 periods  reflect both the impact
of the tax benefits arising from  disqualifying  dispositions of incentive stock
options for tax purposes,  as well as, a decrease in the amount of  amortization
of stock option compensation attributable to incentive stock options as compared
to the prior year periods.

LONE STAR STEAKHOUSE & SALOON, INC.

 Twelve weeks ended June 17, 2003 compared to Twelve weeks ended June 11, 2002
            (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

      Net sales increased  $4,555 or 3.3% to $143,673 for the twelve weeks ended
June 17,  2003,  compared to $139,118  for the twelve weeks ended June 11, 2002.
Same  store  sales  increased  2.9%  compared  with the prior  year  period.  In
addition,  sales for the  twelve-weeks  ended June 17,  2003 were  increased  by
approximately  $1,800 by the inclusion of Father's Day sales. In 2002,  Father's
Day sales were in the fiscal third quarter.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased as a percentage of
net sales to 34.9% from 32.9% due primarily to increased beef costs.

      Restaurant  operating  expenses  for the twelve  weeks ended June 17, 2003
increased  $3,606 to $66,883  compared to $63,277 in the prior year period,  and
increased  as a  percentage  of net sales to 46.6% from 45.5%.  The  increase is
primarily  attributable  to (1)  approximately  $750 due to  increased  costs of
indirect labor for payroll related taxes and insurance costs, (2)  approximately
$840 for increased costs in building and equipment  repairs,  (3)  approximately
$550 for increased costs of utilities and (4)  approximately  $250 for increased
costs of manager training.

      Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased $901 for the twelve weeks ended
June 17, 2003 compared with the prior year period.  The decrease is attributable
primarily to a reduction  in  depreciation  for certain  assets that have become
fully depreciated.

      General and  administrative  expenses  increased $359 for the twelve weeks
ended June 17,  2003  compared  to the prior year  period.  The  increase is due
primarily to increased  costs of  approximately  $770 for directors and officers
liability  insurance  and  travel  and  recruiting  costs.  The  increases  were
partially  offset by reductions in professional  fees and software  depreciation
expenses.

      Abandoned  merger  expenses of $2,967 for the twelve  weeks ended June 11,
2002 reflect the costs  incurred  related to the proposed sale and merger of the
Company  which was  terminated  on May 4, 2002.  Such costs include fees paid to
investment advisors and legal counsel as well as certain costs reimbursed by the
Company to the potential buyer in connection with its due diligence efforts.

      Non-cash  stock  compensation  expense for the twelve weeks ended June 17,
2003  decreased  $20  compared to the prior year period.  The decrease  reflects
approximately   $429  for  lower  amortization  of  expenses  arising  from  the
amortization  of such costs over the underlying  vesting periods of the options.
The decrease was largely  offset by a charge of $409 relating to the  accounting
for certain shares of the Company's  common stock held by a Rabbi Trust pursuant
to a deferred  compensation  arrangement.  See Note 5 to the Notes to  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

      Other  income,  net for the twelve  weeks  ended June 17,  2003,  was $357
compared to $264 for the prior year period.  The increase is  attributable to an
increase  in gains from sales of assets  offset in part by a decline in interest
income as a result of lower interest  rates and reduced  amounts of excess funds
available for investment.

      The  effective  income tax rate was 28.9% and 36.7% for the  twelve  weeks
ended June 17, 2003 and June 11, 2002, respectively. The factors which cause the
effective tax rates to vary from the federal statutory rate of 35% include state
income taxes, the impact of FICA Tip and other credits,  certain  non-deductible
expenses,  and the tax effect of incentive stock options.  There is generally no
tax impact to the  Company  associated  with  incentive  stock  options  and the
related  amortization  associated  with such  options in the  income  statement.
However,  tax benefits may arise related to the  incentive  stock options at the
time the options are  exercised to the extent that the exercise is followed by a
disqualifying disposition of the shares by the optionee. The effective tax rates
for the 2003 periods  reflect  both the impact of the tax benefits  arising from

                                      -13-





disqualifying  dispositions of incentive stock options for tax purposes, as well
as, a  decrease  in the  amount of  amortization  of stock  option  compensation
attributable to incentive stock options as compared to the prior year periods.

      Discontinued  operations  reflect the  operations  of  restaurants  closed
during the year ended  December  31,  2002 which are  required to be reported as
discontinued  operations  pursuant  to SFAS No.  144.  The income for the twelve
weeks ended June 17, 2003  results  from a gain on the  disposal of assets.  See
Note  10 to  the  Notes  to  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for
additional information.

                      LONE STAR STEAKHOUSE & SALOON, INC.

          Twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003 compared to Twenty-four
                            weeks ended June 11, 2002
             (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

      Net sales increased  $1,125 or 0.4% to $288,151 for the twenty-four  weeks
ended June 17, 2003,  compared to $287,026 for the twenty-four  weeks ended June
11, 2002.  Same store sales increased 0.2% compared with the prior year. The net
increase  in sales is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase  in the  foreign
currency exchange rates in Australia.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased as a percentage of
net sales to 34.5% from 32.7% due primarily to increased beef costs.

      Restaurant  operating  expenses for the  twenty-four  weeks ended June 17,
2003 increased $6,893 to $133,244 compared to $126,351 in the prior year period,
and increased as a percentage of net sales to 46.2% from 44.0%.  The increase is
primarily  attributable  to (1)  approximately  $1,160 due to increased costs of
indirect labor for payroll related taxes and insurance costs, (2)  approximately
$650 for  increased  spending  on  advertising,  (3)  approximately  $1,590  for
increased costs in building and equipment repairs and (4) approximately $780 for
increased costs of utilities.

      Depreciation and amortization  decreased $1,507 for the twenty-four  weeks
ended  June 17,  2003  compared  with the prior year  period.  The  decrease  is
attributable  primarily to a reduction in  depreciation  for certain assets that
have become fully depreciated.

      General and  administrative  expenses  increased $439 for the  twenty-four
weeks ended June 17, 2003 compared to the prior year period. The increase is due
primarily to increased costs of approximately  $1,100 for directors and officers
liability  insurance and travel and recruiting costs. The increases were largely
offset by reductions in professional fees.

      Abandoned  merger expenses of $2,967 for the twenty-four  weeks ended June
11, 2002 reflect the costs  incurred  related to the proposed sale and merger of
the Company which was terminated on May 4, 2002. Such costs include fees paid to
investment advisors and legal counsel as well as certain costs reimbursed by the
Company to the potential buyer in connection with its due diligence efforts.

      Non-cash stock  compensation  expense for the twenty-four weeks ended June
17, 2003 decreased $436 compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects
approximately $845 for lower amortization  expense arising from the amortization
of such costs over the underlying  vesting periods of the options.  The decrease
was partially  offset by a charge of $409 relating to the accounting for certain
shares  of the  Company's  common  stock  held by a Rabbi  Trust  pursuant  to a
deferred  compensation  arrangement.  See  Note  5 to  the  Notes  to  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statement for additional information.

      Other income,  net for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003, was $475
compared to $647 for the prior year period.  The decrease is  attributable  to a
decline  in  interest  income as a result of lower  interest  rates and  reduced
amounts of excess funds available for investment.

      The  effective  income  tax rate was 31.9%  and 37.6% for the  twenty-four
weeks ended June 17, 2003 and June 11,  2002,  respectively.  The factors  which
cause the  effective  tax rates to vary from the federal  statutory  rate of 35%
include state income taxes,  the impact of FICA Tip and other  credits,  certain
non-deductible expenses, and the tax effect of incentive stock options. There is
generally no tax impact to the Company  associated  with incentive stock options
and  the  related  amortization  associated  with  such  options  in the  income
statement.  However,  tax  benefits  may arise  related to the  incentive  stock
options at the time the options are exercised to the extent that the exercise is
followed  by a  disqualifying  disposition  of the shares by the  optionee.  The
effective  tax rates for the 2003  periods  reflect  both the  impact of the tax
benefits arising from disqualifying  dispositions of incentive stock options for
tax  purposes,  as well as, a decrease  in the amount of  amortization  of stock
option  compensation  attributable to incentive stock options as compared to the
prior year periods.

                                      -15-





      Discontinued  operations  reflect the  operations  of  restaurants  closed
during the year ended  December  31,  2002 which are  required to be reported as
discontinued operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144. The income for the twenty-four
weeks ended Jun 17, 2003 results from a gain on the disposal of assets. See Note
10 to the Notes to Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements for additional
information.

      The cumulative effect of accounting change reflects the effect of adoption
of the provisions of SFAS No. 142,  Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets.  The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective  December 26, 2001. The
cumulative  effect of the change in accounting  resulted in a one-time charge of
$318, net of income taxes, to reflect the impairment of goodwill  related to the
Company's  Australian  operations.   See  Note  7  to  the  Notes  to  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

                                      -16-





IMPACT OF INFLATION

      The  primary  inflationary  factors  affecting  the  Company's  operations
include food and labor costs. A number of the Company's restaurant personnel are
paid at the federal and state established minimum wage levels and,  accordingly,
changes in such wage levels affect the Company's labor costs. However, since the
majority of personnel  are tipped  employees,  minimum wage changes  should have
little  effect on overall labor costs.  Historically  as costs of food and labor
have increased, the Company has been able to offset these increases through menu
price  increases  and  economies of scale;  however,  there may be delays in the
implementation  of such menu price increases or in effecting timely economies of
scale, as well as competitive pressures which may limit the Company's ability to
recover any cost  increases in its  entirety.  To date,  inflation has not had a
material impact on operating margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)

      The following  table  presents a summary of the  Company's  cash flows for
each of the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003 and June 11, 2002:

                                                                 Twenty-four weeks ended
                                                                 -----------------------
                                                             June 17, 2003        June 11, 2002
                                                             -------------        -------------

                                                              ----------            ---------

                                                              ==========            =========

      The  decrease  in net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  for  the
twenty-four week period ended June 17, 2003 compared to the prior year period is
due to a decrease in net income and a decrease in depreciation and amortization.

      During the  twenty-four  week period  ended June 17, 2003,  the  Company's
investment in property and equipment was $2,341  compared to $1,088 for the same
period in 2002. In the twenty-four  week period ended June 17, 2003, the Company
received $963 in proceeds from the sale of assets compared to $1,234 in the same
period in 2002.

      During the  twenty-four  week  period  ended June 17,  2003,  the  Company
received  net  proceeds  of $5,260 from the  issuance  of 624,933  shares of its
common  stock due to the  exercise  of stock  options  compared  to  proceeds of
$15,891 from the issuance of 1,275,908  shares  issued  pursuant to stock option
exercises in the same period in 2002.

      The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of shares of
the Company's  common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions.  During the twenty-four week period ended June 17, 2003
the Company purchased 891,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $20.71 per
share or an aggregate  cost of $18,454.  The Company did not purchase any common
stock during the same period in 2002.

      The Company has paid  quarterly  cash  dividends on its common stock since
the second  quarter of fiscal 2000. In January 2003,  the Company  increased its
quarterly  cash dividend  from $.15 to $.165 per share  commencing in the second

                                      -17-





quarter of fiscal 2003.  During the twenty-four week period ended June 17, 2003,
the Company paid dividends of $6,707 or $.315 per share as compared to $7,317 or
$.30 per share in the same period in 2002.

      At June 17,  2003,  the Company had $74,293 in cash and cash  equivalents.
The Company has available $55,000 in unsecured  revolving credit facilities.  At
June 17,  2003,  the Company has no  outstanding  borrowings.  See Note 4 to the
Notes to Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in this Form 10-Q for a
further description of the Company's credit facilities.

      The Company from time to time may utilize derivative financial instruments
in the form of live beef cattle  futures  contracts  to manage  market risks and
reduce its exposure  resulting from fluctuations in the price of meat.  Realized
and  unrealized  changes in the fair values of the  derivative  instruments  are
recognized  in income in the period in which the  change  occurs.  Realized  and
unrealized gains and losses for the period were not significant.  As of June 17,
2003, the Company had no positions in futures contracts.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS

      In June  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  146,  ACCOUNTING  FOR  COSTS
ASSOCIATED  WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL  ACTIVITIES.  This  statement  requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal  activity be recognized
only when the liability is incurred and measured at fair value.  SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal  activities that are initiated after December 31,
2002. The Company has adopted this Statement  effective  January 1, 2003, and it
did not have a  material  impact  on its  results  of  operations  or  financial
position.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

            The Company's  exposure to market risks was not  significant  during
            the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2003.

Item 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

            Disclosure  controls  are  procedures  that  are  designed  with the
            objective of ensuring that  information  required to be disclosed in
            the  Company's  reports under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
            such  as  this  Form  10-Q,  is  reported  in  accordance  with  the
            Securities and Exchange Commission's rules.  Disclosure controls are
            also designed  with the objective of ensuring that such  information
            is accumulated and  communicated to management,  including the Chief
            Executive  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer as  appropriate  to
            allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

            Within the 90 days  prior to the date of this  report,  the  Company
            carried  out an  evaluation  under  the  supervision  and  with  the
            participation of the Company's  management,  including the Company's
            Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,   of  the
            effectiveness   of  the  design  and   operation  of  the  Company's
            disclosure  controls  and  procedures  pursuant  to  the  Securities
            Exchange  Act Rule  13a-14.  Based upon that  evaluation,  the Chief
            Executive  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer  concluded that the
            Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
            alerting  them  to  material  information  relating  to the  Company
            (including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries)  required  to be in the
            Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in
            the  Company's  internal  controls  or in other  factors  that could
            significantly  affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
            evaluation.

            Certifications  of the Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief Financial
            Officer  regarding,  among  other  items,  disclosure  controls  and
            procedures are included  immediately  after the signature section of
            this Form 10-Q.
