ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Roadhouse Grill, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida in 1992. The principal business of the Company is the operation of specialty restaurants. The Company has also granted franchises and licenses to operate restaurants under the “Roadhouse Grill” name. The Company opened its first restaurant in Pembroke Pines, Florida (the greater Ft. Lauderdale area) in 1993. As of July 27, 2003, there were 70 company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. Of these, 35 are located in Florida.

     The Company operates on a fifty-two or fifty-three week fiscal year. Each fiscal quarter consists of thirteen weeks, except in the case of a fifty-three week year, in which case the fourth fiscal quarter consists of fourteen weeks. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     While in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (see Note 2 below), the Company applied the provisions of SOP 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code,” which does not significantly change the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, it does require that the financial statements for periods including and subsequent to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from those transactions that are the result of ongoing operations of the business.

     The Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and in accordance with SOP 90-7. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is predicated upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations to service debt and pay capital and operating lease obligations, the ability to otherwise meet its operating expenses, and the ability to obtain sufficient financing or other resources to satisfy future obligations to the extent not covered by cash flow from operations.

(2)  RECENTLY COMPLETED PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

     On January 18, 2002 (the “Petition Date”), an involuntary petition (the “Involuntary Petition”) for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) was filed against the Company by certain of its creditors, all of which were affiliated with one another (collectively, the “Petitioning Creditors”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Court”). Prior to the Petition Date, the Company had been experiencing significant cash flow problems primarily resulting from the opening of 31 new restaurants in the prior three years combined with a net loss of $15.9 million in fiscal year 2001 and a net loss of $21.4 million in fiscal year 2002. Prior to the filing of the Involuntary Petition, the Company had been in negotiations with the Petitioning Creditors and its other major creditors in an effort to effect an out-of-court restructuring of its liabilities.

     In response to the filing of the Involuntary Petition, the Company initially filed a motion requesting the Court to abstain from taking jurisdiction over the Company to allow out-of-court restructuring efforts to continue. Ultimately, however, the Company decided to consent to the entry of an order for relief in the Chapter 11 case, provided that the order would not be entered until the Company had an opportunity to prepare a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

     On April 16, 2002 (the “Relief Date”), the Court entered an order for relief and the Company filed its proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and its disclosure statement in support of its plan of reorganization. Subsequent to the entry of the order for relief, the Company temporarily operated its businesses as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and concentrated its efforts on emerging from Chapter 11 as quickly as possible.

     In its plan of reorganization, the Company classified the claims of its creditors and interests of its equity security holders and provided for the treatment of such claims and interests. Under the Bankruptcy Code, various classes of claims and interests were entitled to vote on whether to accept or reject the plan of reorganization. On June 12, 2002, the Company filed Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Plan”) and Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Disclosure Statement in Support of Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Court conducted a hearing on June 12, 2002 to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement. On June 20, 2002, the Court issued an order approving the Disclosure Statement, authorizing the Disclosure Statement, Plan and ballot to be disseminated to creditors and equity security holders and scheduling a hearing on confirmation of the Plan for August 21, 2002.

     On June 25, 2002, a hearing was held on the motion of the Petitioning Creditors to terminate the exclusivity period within which only the Company could file a plan of reorganization and to delay the hearing on confirmation of the Plan. On June 26, 2002,

7

Table of Contents

the Court terminated exclusivity but refused to postpone the hearing on confirmation of the Plan.

     Thereafter, Restaurants Acquisition I, Inc., an entity affiliated with the Petitioning Creditors, filed a competing plan of reorganization, dated July 15, 2002 (the “RAI Plan”). The Petitioning Creditors and creditors affiliated with them (collectively, “CNL”) vigorously opposed confirmation of the Plan. In addition, certain other creditors initially cast ballots rejecting the Plan and/or filed objections to confirmation of the Plan.

     As the date of the confirmation hearing approached, the Company engaged in further negotiations with rejecting and objecting creditors in an effort to resolve their objections to the Plan. By August 19, 2002, most of the objections had been resolved and the Company filed a modification of the Plan reflecting the resolution of those objections (the “Modification”).

     As of August 19, 2002, the principal remaining objections were the objections of CNL. However, the Company reached agreement with CNL shortly before the commencement of the confirmation hearing. Under the agreement, CNL withdrew its objections to the Plan, changed its rejections to acceptances of the Plan and caused the RAI Plan to be withdrawn. The agreement was embodied in a term sheet between the Company and CNL dated August 21, 2002 (the “Term Sheet”).

     The hearing on confirmation of the Plan, as modified by the Modification and the Term Sheet, took place on August 21, 2002. At the close of the hearing, the Court announced that the Plan, as modified by the Modification, the Term Sheet and the Confirmation Order (as hereinafter defined) (the “Confirmed Plan of Reorganization”), would be confirmed. On August 23, 2002, the Court issued its Order Confirming Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Confirmation Order”).

     The Confirmed Plan of Reorganization became effective on September 20, 2002 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Company received an infusion of new capital of $5.0 million in exchange for 13,888,889 shares of the authorized but unissued common stock of the Company, constituting 47.53% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company. The 13,888,889 shares were issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Private Placement Securities”). The Private Placement Securities were issued to Berjaya Group (Cayman) Limited (“Berjaya”), Prime Gaming Philippines, Inc. (“Prime”), Tonto Capital Partners GP, and Stephen C. Saterbo (“Saterbo”), as more particularly set forth in the table immediately below and reflecting the post-restructuring percentage ownership for each respective investment.

Table of Contents

     Berjaya is the Company’s majority shareholder, representing ownership of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. It is headquartered in Malaysia. Prime is an affiliate of Berjaya. It is 70% owned by Berjaya Group Berhad, which owns 100% of Berjaya. Prime is headquartered in the Philippines. Tonto Capital Partners GP is affiliated with Ayman Sabi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and a director. Saterbo is a senior vice president, member of the board of directors, and substantial shareholder of Colorado Boxed Beef Company, a former major supplier to the Company.

     Additionally, pursuant to the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization Berjaya received, in full satisfaction of a $1.5 million loan to the Company, 4,166,667 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at $0.36 per share, representing 14.26% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company.

     In accordance with the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, each existing holder of Common Stock received additional Common Stock equal to 15% of the shares which they previously held. After issuance of the additional shares, the existing shareholders own an aggregate of 11,165,107 shares of the outstanding common stock, representing 38.21% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding after effecting the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization is 29,220,663.

     Under bankruptcy law, actions by creditors to collect indebtedness owed prior to the Petition Date and/or prior to the Relief Date were stayed and certain other pre-petition and Gap (January 18, 2002 through April 16, 2002, which is the period of time between the Petition Date and the Relief Date) contractual obligations could not be enforced against the Company. The Company received approval from the Court to pay certain pre-petition and “gap” liabilities including employee salaries and wages, benefits, and other employee obligations. Liabilities through the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, September 20, 2002, which were incurred pre-petition or during the “gap period” had previously been classified as liabilities subject to compromise. With the Company having emerged from bankruptcy, these liabilities were adjusted during fiscal year 2003 to the amounts to be paid pursuant to the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain relating to the early extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations in the amount of $1.8

9

Table of Contents

million for fiscal year 2003. This gain results primarily from obligations to pay lease payments that were stayed while the Company was in bankruptcy and other obligations that were canceled as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding.

     As of July 27, 2003, substantially all bankruptcy claims have been resolved. See Note 7 for a description of the debt agreements that have been executed as settlement of certain bankruptcy claims. Currently, the Company is working to resolve certain remaining open bankruptcy claims. Settlement of these claims could result in the execution of additional debt agreements pursuant to the provisions of the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization and the recognition of additional extraordinary gains or losses to the extent that the final settlement amount differs from the liabilities currently recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. However, these remaining open bankruptcy claims are not considered material to the Company’s financial position and any extraordinary gain or loss that may result is not expected to be material to the future consolidated results of operations of the Company.

     As restructured under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Company’s secured and unsecured debt, as well as assumed leases and executory contracts, will require substantial monthly payments over extended future periods. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on its ability to meet these payment obligations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

     Reorganization items represent amounts incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings in accordance with SOP 90-7. The Company incurred $3.6 million of expenses relating to its reorganization, including $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, during fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002. The Company incurred no reorganization expenses during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003, as compared to $1.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. The reorganization expenses recorded in the prior years primarily include fees for legal, accounting, consulting and other outside services. Additionally, on the Petition Date, the Company stopped accruing interest on all unsecured pre-petition debt in accordance with SOP 90-7. With the confirmation of its Plan of Reorganization, the Company is now required to make regular payments on all debt pursuant to the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of restaurants held under capital leases is recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased property at the inception of the lease. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments, which substantially extend the useful life of the property, are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. Property and equipment are

10

Table of Contents

depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Estimated useful lives include consideration of lease renewals in situations in which the Company has both an option and the current intent to renew the lease.

     The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company regularly reviews the performance of its individual restaurants to identify possible under-performing operations that should be assessed for possible impairments of long-lived assets. As part of this analysis, management considers factors that have in the past and may continue to impact operating results. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

     Assets held for sale include properties owned by the Company which are currently being marketed for sale and are carried at estimated net realizable value.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. As of July 27, 2003, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $1.5 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $0.4 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test based on its fair value and no amortization of goodwill is recorded. Other intangible assets, which have been determined to have a finite life, are being amortized over their useful lives.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORY

     Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (based on first-in, first-out inventory costing) or net realizable value and consists primarily of restaurant food items, beverages and paper supplies.

Table of Contents

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     During the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002, the Company recognized no federal income taxes. During the fiscal year ended April 27, 2003, the Company recognized a federal income tax benefit of $1.2 million relating to anticipated income tax refunds relating to federal carryback claims of the Company’s alternative minimum tax net operating loss generated for the tax year ended April 28, 2002 and amendments of previously filed federal and state income tax returns. Of this amount, $0.6 million was collected in fiscal 2003 and the remaining $0.6 million was collected during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003. The Company has also filed amended income tax returns requesting additional income tax refunds totaling approximately $0.2 million. Although there can be no assurance, these refunds are currently anticipated to be received by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004, and will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations when realizability is assured.

PRE-OPENING COSTS

     Pre-opening costs are costs incurred in the opening of new restaurants (primarily payroll costs). Deferred costs related to restaurant sites subsequently determined to be unsatisfactory and general site selection costs that cannot be identified with a specific restaurant are charged to operations as incurred.

FISCAL YEAR

     The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in April.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, particularly with respect to matters impacted by the proceedings under Chapter 11, and

12

Table of Contents

such differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Amounts reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements that are based, in part, on the use of estimates include reserves relating to the collectibility of accounts receivable, insurance reserves relating to claim costs required to be funded by the Company, the recoverability of deposits and other prepaid items, estimated accrued property taxes and other accrued liabilities for which actual invoices have not yet been received and liabilities related to unredeemed gift certificates and gift cards. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and in some cases, actuarial techniques. Roadhouse Grill constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.

     Management believes that the assumptions and other factors used to determine its estimates are reasonable and that, with the exception of insurance reserves relating to claim costs required to be funded by the Company, changes in these assumptions would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In regards to insurance reserves, recorded liabilities are based upon an estimate of the total amount that may be paid to settle claims required to be funded by the Company and incurred through the balance sheet date including consideration of amounts paid-to-date in relation to the individual claims, an analysis of the loss development on all reported claims, potential legal or other related costs and any stop loss limits applicable under the Company’s insurance policies. Such reserves are subject to change based upon any development that occurs in relation to the outstanding claims subsequent to the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of July 27, 2003 and April 27, 2003, total recorded insurance reserves were $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

     In addition, asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, and the reserve for restructuring are predominantly based on estimates of the market value of assets of which the Company plans to dispose and the amount of future cash flows estimated to be realized relating to impaired assets that are anticipated to be utilized in the Company operations in the future. Such estimates will also be affected by the time interval required to dispose of those assets to be sold. The assumptions used, particularly in regards to estimates of future cash flows to be realized relating to impaired or potentially impaired assets, are critical in assessing a potential impairment and, if any, estimating the amount of the impairment. These assumptions require consideration of future trends in key operating ratios and the timing and impact of possible changes in operations relating to specific assets. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the timing and amount of possible asset impairments and therefore the Company’s results of operations.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined based on available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of

13

Table of Contents

accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on market rates of interest currently available to the Company. The carrying values of long-term debt and capital leases at July 27, 2003 and April 27, 2003 approximate fair value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Sales by Company-operated restaurants are recognized daily as cash and credit card receipts are received. Revenues from franchised and affiliated restaurants are derived from royalties and initial setup fees. Initial setup fees are recognized upon opening of a restaurant, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise arrangement. Royalties and income from the Company’s joint venture are recorded as the sales of the franchisees and joint venture are reported to the Company. In addition, the Company receives rental income from various sources. All uncollected income related to franchise and joint venture operations is subject to an assessment of collectibility and an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded if collection is not reasonably assured.

ADVERTISING COSTS

     The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002 was $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Advertising expense is included within “occupancy and other” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company accounts for stock options as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition, and Disclosure. Under APB Opinion No 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock option is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for its stock option plans.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” Under Statement No. 4, all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt were required to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. This Statement eliminates Statement No. 4 and as a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if

14

Table of Contents

they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” Additionally, this Statement amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” such that lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in a similar manner as a sale-leaseback. This Statement is generally effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 145 was not material.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including certain costs incurred in a restructuring).” A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for certain qualifying employee termination benefits. This Statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated by the Company after December 31, 2002, which, to date, have not been applicable.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and to require prominent disclosures about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosures about those effects in interim financial information. The Company currently accounts for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors under the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and provides the disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. The Company currently intends to continue to account for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors under the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and will adopt the additional disclosure provisions of SFAS 148.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” For a guarantee subject to FASB Interpretation 45, a guarantor is required to:

	•		measure and recognize the fair value of the guarantee at inception (for many guarantees, fair value will be determined using a present value method); and
	•		provide new disclosures regarding the nature of any guarantees, the maximum potential amount of future guarantee payments, the current carrying amount of

15

Table of Contents

the guarantee liability, and the nature of any recourse provisions or assets held as collateral that could be liquidated and allow the guarantor to recover all or a portion of its payments in the event guarantee payments are required.

     FIN 45 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company is currently in compliance with the provisions of the new pronouncement.

LIQUIDITY

     See Note 2 for a description of the Company’s recently completed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

     The Company’s material financial commitments relate principally to its working capital requirements and its obligations to make operating and capital lease and term loan payments in accordance with the terms of its agreements. See Notes 5, 6 and 7 for a description of the Company’s current outstanding debt and capital and operating lease obligations. As of July 27, 2003, total minimum annual payments required under the Company’s note and lease obligations, including interest thereon, were $20.2 million. In addition, capital requirements relating to the opening of new restaurants have in the past been (and may in the future be) significant.

     The Company opened one new restaurant during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 at a total cost of approximately $1.8 million, of which $0.4 million was expended during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003. The Company does not currently expect to open any additional Company-owned restaurants in fiscal year 2004. At this time, it is expected that the cash required to develop new restaurants beyond fiscal 2004 will be funded from operations. Should cash from operations be insufficient for future expansion, and additional capital through debt and equity sources be unavailable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to open additional restaurants.

     During the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003, the Company’s primary sources of working capital were the sale of food and beverage credits and from working capital provided by operations. During this time the Company also collected $0.6 million in federal income tax refunds. The Company has filed for approximately $0.2 million in additional federal and state income tax refunds in fiscal year 2004, which it presently expects to collect during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The Company expects that its primary sources of working capital for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 will be cash flow from operations, the possible sale of additional food and beverage credits and the potential refinancing of the mortgage on its corporate headquarters building as more fully described in Notes 7 and 11.

     The Company has experienced significant cash flow problems in the past. The Company believes that its ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon, among other things, increased demand for its products, a continued commitment to

16

Table of Contents

providing an excellent dining experience for its customers, the development and implementation of successful marketing strategies and its continuing efforts to reduce its operating costs. The Company has implemented revenue enhancement programs including the implementation of a new menu with enhanced menu items in June 2003 along with cost reduction initiatives designed to produce positive cash flow and achieve sustainable profitable operations. There can be no assurance that these initiatives will be effective in generating profits or producing sufficient cash flows to fund operating requirements, including debt repayments and lease obligations.

     Capital requirements relating to the implementation of the Company’s business plan have been and will continue to be significant. If cash generated from the Company’s operations and other possible sources described above are insufficient to fund the Company’s financial commitments and working capital requirements (including amounts required to support future growth), the Company will have to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional debt and/or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. In the event the Company is unable to secure needed additional financing, the Company may have to significantly curtail its operations.

(5)

CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

     The Company has entered into various lease agreements relating to buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment that qualify as capital lease obligations under generally accepted accounting principles. Such lease agreements expire over periods ranging from four to 20 years. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments required under capital leases for the remainder of the current fiscal year and for each of the next four fiscal years as of July 27, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

OPERATING LEASES

     The Company is a party to various operating lease agreements relating to the rental of land and buildings and equipment at many of its restaurants. Such agreements range in terms of up to 20 years and generally provide the Company the option to renew for additional periods. The agreements generally also require significant penalties to be paid in the event the lease is terminated prior to its expiration. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments, including estimated increases in allocated maintenance costs, required under operating leases for the remainder of the current fiscal year and for each of the next four fiscal years that have remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of July 27, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

     The total rent expense for operating leases was $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002, respectively. The Company leases a portion of its corporate headquarters and has recorded rental income in the amount of less than $0.1 million for each of the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002.

(7) LONG-TERM DEBT

     As of July 27, 2003, the Company’s long-term debt was comprised of the following items (amounts in thousands):

Table of Contents

     The carrying amount of property and equipment and assets held for sale used as collateral was approximately $58.2 million and $59.7 million at July 27, 2003 and April 27, 2003, respectively.

     On the Petition Date, the Company stopped accruing interest on all unsecured pre-petition debt in accordance with SOP 90-7. Contractual interest expense not accrued or recorded on certain pre-petition debt totaled $0.9 million.

     The debt agreements resulting from the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization may require prepayments of principal to the extent the Company generates excess cash flow from operations, as defined in the agreements.

     The Company’s mortgage relating to its corporate headquarters building requires a $1.4 million balloon payment in March 2004. The Company is currently working to refinance the debt relating to this facility. Such balloon payment is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as a current liability. There can be no assurances that a refinancing of this indebtedness will be executed and failure to execute a refinancing would require the Company to identify alternative means of funding the balloon payment, which may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.

(8) STOCK OPTION PLANS

     A Stock Option Plan (the “Original Plan”) was adopted during 1994, and later amended, for employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. Options to purchase 521,099 shares of the Company’s common stock were granted and remained outstanding as of April 28, 2002. In addition, pursuant to an agreement entered into in 1998 with the President and Chief Executive Officer, the general counsel and a consultant, options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock were issued. Also, under the 1998 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), adopted for employees, key executives and directors of the Company, options to purchase 324,500 shares of common stock were granted by the Company. All outstanding stock options under the Original Plan and the Omnibus Plan were cancelled as of the effective date of the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization.

     Effective January 28, 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan provides for the Company to grant up to 1,500,000 options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, directors, key employees and independent contractors and consultants. The 2003 Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options may be granted at an exercise price of not less than $0.36 per share and may have a term of up to ten years. The vesting period of options granted under the 2003 Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee. No options have been granted to date under the 2003 Plan.

(9) SELF-FUNDED INSURANCE

     The Company maintains insurance to cover the potential liabilities associated with a number of the risks that the Company may encounter in its business operations. These risks include property and flood coverage, auto, workers’ compensation, general liability and umbrella, directors and officers liability, employers practice liability and crime insurance. Many of the policies, such as property, flood and directors and officers liability include deductibles ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 per claim. For many policy years, under workers’ compensation, employers practice liability and general liability coverage, the Company is effectively self-insured up to varying self-insurance retention limits set on an individual claim basis ranging up to $300,000 per claim and on an aggregate basis. The Company is also self-insured in regards to the medical insurance benefits that it provides to its managers and certain other employees. These employees who elect to receive medical insurance benefits are required to contribute a portion of the cost of providing the insurance benefits. Total insurance costs incurred by the Company for the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002 were $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SEC INFORMAL INVESTIGATION

     As a result of a review of its accounting records, the Company, in August 2001, restated its previously reported, audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2000 and April 25, 1999, and the related, unaudited quarterly financial statements for those periods, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended July 30, 2000, October 29, 2000, and January 28, 2001. In connection with the restatement, the Company filed amended Form 10-Ks for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, and amended Form 10-Qs for the fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 quarters containing the restated financial statements.

     The restatement occurred because of a determination by the Company that certain operating expenses were more appropriately attributable to fiscal 2000 and 1999 than later periods. The restatement resulted in a decrease in net income for fiscal 2000 and 1999, and the related quarterly periods, and an increase in net income for the quarters ended July 30, 2000, October 29, 2000 and January 28, 2001.

     On April 10, 2002, a purported class action complaint alleging violations of federal securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company, the then chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and the Company’s president and chief executive officer. This action (the “Action”) is styled: Sears v. Roadhouse Grill, Inc, et al., Case No. 02-CV-60493.

     The Action purports to be brought on behalf of all purchasers of the stock of the Company between August 31, 1998 and August 1, 2001, with certain exclusions, and

21

Table of Contents

appears to be based principally, if not solely, on the fact that certain financial statements have been restated as described above. The Company believes there is no merit to the Action. The Company further believes that, under section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, even if claims of the type asserted in the Action are allowed, they will be subordinated, in the Chapter 11 Case, to the claims of all creditors of the Company. Accordingly, such claims are treated under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization as subordinate to the claims of all creditors.

     As the Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on April 16, 2002, any claims in this Action should have been filed by the plaintiffs with the Court. If the plaintiffs had filed a claim with the Court, their claim against the Company would have been subordinated to the claims of all creditors of the Company. However, no claim against the Company was filed during the bankruptcy proceedings. Based on discussions with the Company’s legal counsel, the Company believes that the class action suit is not likely to result in an unfavorable outcome to the Company. The Company further believes that even if the action brought by the plaintiffs is successful, the plaintiffs will share only in the distribution of stock in the reorganized company with the holders of the existing Common Stock.

     On July 26, 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint. The individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on September 4, 2002, and the plaintiffs filed an opposition thereto on October 3, 2002. On April 4, 2003, the court heard arguments on the motion to dismiss and dismissed the amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint on May 5, 2003. The individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended class action complaint on June 4, 2003, to which plaintiffs have not yet responded.

     The Company believes that the individual defendants are covered, with respect to the claims asserted in the Action, by the Company’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy issued by National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. The policy provides directors and officers liability coverage and corporate securities coverage. It has aggregate limits of $5,000,000 and a self-insured retention for securities claims of $250,000. With respect to the case against the defendants, to the extent permitted by law the Company intends to indemnify the individual defendants.

     On August 3, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) informed the Company that it is conducting an informal investigation regarding the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended 2000 and 1999 and the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal 2001. The Company has cooperated fully with the SEC and will continue to do so.

GUARANTOR OF EQUIPMENT LEASES

     The Company is the guarantor of equipment leases for three restaurants that are owned by one of its franchisees, Roadhouse West G.P., two of which are currently closed. In addition, management understands that other parties have also guaranteed

22

Table of Contents

these obligations. Roadhouse West G.P. is currently in default of the payment terms of the operating leases. The balance of the remaining lease payments due was approximately $1.0 million as of July 27, 2003. The leases are collateralized by the leased equipment and certain leasehold improvements. Roadhouse West G.P. has recently filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings but believes that any potential liability will be mitigated by the factors described above and, accordingly, has provided no reserve for any possible obligations that may arise relating to these proceedings. The United States Trustee’s office has recently filed a motion to convert the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to Chapter 7 liquidation, citing that no feasible reorganization plan is being or will be provided.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

     The Company is a party to various agreements relating to services performed at its restaurants. Such agreements are generally for periods of one year or less and none of these agreements, individually, require payments that would be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

OTHER

     The Company is a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of any of these proceedings, the Company does not believe that any liability resulting from these proceedings will have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations or its business.

(11) SALE OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE CREDITS

     In June 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a loyalty and rewards company (the “Rewards Company”) involving the discounted advance sale of food and beverage credits to be used at its restaurants. The agreement extends for a two-year period. As part of the agreement, the Company received $1.5 million in exchange for the credits, which was recorded as unearned revenue. As of July 27, 2003, the balance of the unearned revenue of $1.3 million is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s obligation to service the unused food and beverage credits is secured by a second lien on certain property and equipment of the Company. Throughout the term of the agreement, the Company and the Rewards Company will share in the proceeds of credit card transactions resulting from use of the credits by members of the Rewards Company and the funds received from the advance sale of the food and beverage credits will be used to cover operating expenses relating to the use of the credits. The Company believes that the members of the Rewards Company are predominantly not current customers of the Company’s restaurants. The Company believes that the agreement also entitles the Company to receive up to an additional $0.8 million from advance sales of additional food and beverage credits during the term of the agreement subject to the timing of usage of the original credits.

(12)  NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE (“EPS”)

     Basic net earnings per share equals net earnings divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share includes dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding. The reconciliation between the computations is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

     No options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003.

     Options to purchase 511,333 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.57 per share were outstanding during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. The options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company recognized a loss during the quarter and including such options would result in antidilutive EPS. All stock options were cancelled as a result of the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS

     Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong. During January 1996, the Company entered into a Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (HK) Limited (“Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong”), which is for an indefinite period and provides for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong. The Master Development Agreement was recently amended by an addendum to Master Development Agreement, dated effective August 2003 (as amended, the “Hong Kong Master Development Agreement”). Under the terms of the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement, the Company will be entitled to receive 50% of all revenues received by Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong from third party franchisees, including, but not limited to, franchise fees, reservation fees and royalty fees. The Hong Kong Master Development Agreement provides for minimum initial franchise and ongoing royalty fees. In addition, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to establish an office for the purpose of selling Roadhouse Grill franchises in Hong Kong. Subject to the selling of franchises by Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule, the Company will pay 50% of the pre-approved budgeted expenses of the office. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to pay 50% of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its duties and obligations under the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement. The Company and Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong will each be 50% responsible for any liabilities that arise from the attraction, selection, granting, administration and supervision of franchisees (except for any liabilities caused solely or primarily by either of them, which such causing party shall be fully responsible for), and Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to maintain an insurance policy for coverage against such liabilities. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to develop any specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but must use its best efforts to sell franchises in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule. Under certain circumstances, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong may also establish its own Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong. In that event, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to pay any franchise or reservation fee for its restaurants, but is required to pay the Company royalty fees based on gross sales in connection with the operation of each of its restaurants. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is also responsible for paying or reimbursing approved expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the opening of each restaurant. As of July 27, 2003, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong had not developed or opened any Roadhouse Grill restaurants pursuant to the Master Development Agreement.

     Roadhouse Grill Asia. During January 1996, the Company entered into a Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (Cayman) Limited (“Roadhouse Grill Asia”), which is for an indefinite period and provides for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim (other than Hong Kong), including, but not limited to, Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines

and Thailand. The Master Development Agreement was recently amended by an addendum to Master Development Agreement, dated August 2003 (as amended, the “Asia Master Development Agreement”). The material terms of Asia Master Development Agreement, including the terms relating to the establishment of an office and the sharing of franchising revenues, office expenses and certain expenses, are substantially the same as those under the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement summarized above. Under the Asia Master Development Agreement, Roadhouse Grill Asia is not required to develop any specific number of restaurants in Asia, but must use its best efforts to sell franchises in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule.

     Roadhouse Grill Asia currently operates three franchised Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Malaysia. The Company accrued less than $0.1 million in royalty income from those restaurants during fiscal year 2003. Royalty income is currently being offset against interest that the Company owes to Berjaya. This offset of royalty income will continue until the royalty receivable exceeds the amount due Berjaya, which approximates $129,000 as of July 27, 2003. Once the royalty receivable exceeds the payable to Berjaya, the Company expects to begin collecting the earned royalty fees.

     Berjaya, which beneficially owns approximately 66.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, directly or indirectly owns both Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and Roadhouse Grill Asia.

GENERAL

     The Company operates, franchises and licenses high-quality full-service casual dining restaurants under the name “Roadhouse Grill.” The Company was founded in 1992 and opened its first restaurant in 1993. As of July 27, 2003, there were 70 Company owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina. Of these, 35 are located in Florida. The Company also has three franchised locations in Malaysia, one franchised location in Brasilia, Brazil, one franchised location in Las Vegas, Nevada, one franchised location in Cincinnati, Ohio and four joint venture restaurants in Italy.

REVENUES

     The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of food and beverages. During each of the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002, restaurant sales generated from lunch and dinner amounted to approximately 26% and 74% of restaurant sales, respectively. Restaurant sales of food and beverages accounted for approximately 90% and 10%, respectively, of total restaurant sales in each of the first fiscal quarters of 2004 and 2003. Franchise and management fees during each of the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002 accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s total revenues. Restaurant operating expenses include food and beverage, labor, direct operating and occupancy costs. Direct operating costs consist primarily of costs of expendable supplies, marketing and advertising expense, maintenance, utilities and restaurant general and administrative expenses. Occupancy costs include rent, real estate and personal property taxes and property insurance. Certain elements of the Company’s restaurant operating expenses, including direct operating and occupancy costs and to a lesser extent labor costs, are relatively fixed.

     Of the Company’s 70 currently operating Company-owned restaurants, one was opened in April 2003 and one was opened in June 2003. One restaurant was closed as of July 27, 2003 in conjunction with the sale of the related leasehold interest during the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company’s new restaurants can be expected to generate above-average sales during the initial weeks that the restaurant is open, commonly referred to as the “honeymoon” period. As the restaurant is open longer, sales generally decline after initial trial by guests. There is no assurance that a new Roadhouse Grill restaurant will attain profitable operations. Furthermore, costs during the first several months of operation can be expected to be higher than the Company’s average costs, primarily cost of food and beverage sales and labor costs. There is no assurance that these costs will decline to more normalized levels as the restaurant matures.

     The average cash investment of the 69 Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants open the entire 52 weeks in fiscal year 2003 was approximately $1.3 million, including building structures (where applicable), building or leasehold improvements and equipment and fixtures, but excluding land and pre-opening costs. The average land acquisition cost for the 12 restaurant sites operating and owned by the Company was approximately $838,000. The average annual occupancy cost for the restaurant sites leased by the Company is approximately $214,000.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Roadhouse Grill’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As disclosed therein, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and

29

Table of Contents

accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company regularly reviews the performance of its individual restaurants to identify possible under performing operations that should be assessed for possible impairments of long-lived assets. As part of this analysis, management considers factors that have in the past and may continue to impact operating results. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. As of July 27, 2003, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $1.5 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $0.4 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test based on its fair value and no amortization of goodwill is recorded. The intangible assets, which have been determined to have a finite life, are being amortized over their useful lives.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, particularly with respect to matters impacted by the proceedings under Chapter 11, could differ materially from those estimates. Amounts reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements that are based, in part, on the use of estimates include reserves relating to the collectibility of accounts receivable, insurance reserves relating to claim costs required to be funded by the Company, the recoverability of deposits and other prepaid items, estimated accrued property taxes and

30

Table of Contents

other accrued liabilities for which actual invoices have not yet been received and the liability for unredeemed gift certificates and gift cards. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and in some cases, actuarial techniques. Roadhouse Grill constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.

     Management believes that the assumptions and other factors used to determine these estimates are reasonable and that, with the exception of insurance reserves relating to claim costs required to be funded by the Company, changes in these assumptions would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In regards to insurance reserves, recorded liabilities are based upon an estimate of the total amount that may be paid to settle claims required to be funded by the Company and incurred through the balance sheet date including consideration of amounts paid-to-date in relation to the individual claims, an analysis of the loss development on all reported claims, potential legal or other related costs and any stop loss limits applicable under the Company’s insurance policies. Such reserves are subject to change based upon any development that occurs in relation to the outstanding claims subsequent to the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of July 27, 2003 and July 28, 2002, total recorded insurance reserves were $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

     In addition, asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, and the reserve for restructuring are predominantly based on estimates of the market value of assets of which the Company plans to dispose and the amount of future cash flows estimated to be realized relating to impaired assets that are anticipated to be utilized in the Company operations in the future or expenditures estimated to be used to settle the outstanding obligations. Such estimates will also be affected by the time interval required to dispose of those assets to be sold. The assumptions used, particularly in regards to estimates of future cash flows to be realized relating to impaired or potentially impaired assets, are critical in assessing a potential impairment and, if any, estimating the amount of the impairment. These assumptions require consideration and projection of future trends in key operating ratios and the timing and impact of possible changes in operations relating to specific assets. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the timing and amount of possible asset impairments and therefore the Company’s results of operations.

     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain restaurant data.

          RESTAURANT DATA:

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 27, 2003 (“FISCAL YEAR 2004 FIRST QUARTER”) COMPARED TO THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 28, 2002 (“FISCAL YEAR 2003 FIRST QUARTER”)

     Total revenues. Total revenues increased $0.3 million, or 0.8%, from $35.9 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter to $36.2 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to the opening of two new restaurants in April 2003 and June 2003 as discussed above, which contributed $1.0 million in revenue during the Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter. This was partially offset by a 1.0% reduction in sales at comparable restaurants for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter compared with sales for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter and the decline in revenues relating to sales generated

33

Table of Contents

from stores closed during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. The Company believes that this decrease in same restaurant sales is primarily attributable to the state of the economy and its impact on the casual dining industry generally. A restaurant is considered comparable after its first 18 months of operation.

     Food and beverage. Food and beverage costs increased $0.8 million, or 6.6%, to $12.9 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $12.1 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. As a percentage of revenues, food and beverage costs increased by 2.1% to 35.6% for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from 33.5% for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. This increase, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues, is primarily attributable to the increases in beef prices as well as an increase in produce costs relating to the new menu introduced in June 2003. Meat costs, which historically represent approximately 44% of total food costs, were approximately 16.5% and 14.9% of total food sales in Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter and Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter, respectively. This increase, which resulted primarily from the Mad Cow Disease concern raised in Canada and its effect on beef supply pricing, represents an increase in food costs of $0.5 million between the periods.

     Labor and benefits. Labor and benefits costs decreased $0.2 million, or 1.7%, to $11.8 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $12.0 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. As a percentage of revenues, labor and benefits costs decreased 0.9% to 32.6% for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from 33.5% for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. This decrease, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues, is due primarily to a reduction in group medical and workers’ compensation insurance costs.

     Occupancy and other. Occupancy and other costs decreased $0.6 million, or 6.8%, to $8.2 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $8.8 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. As a percentage of revenues, occupancy and other was 22.6% for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter versus 24.6% for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. The decrease, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues, is due to a decrease in equipment rental expense due to the expiration of certain operating leases and a decrease in marketing expense partially offset by increased utility expenses incurred in the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003.

     Pre-opening expenses. Pre-opening expenses increased $0.1 million to $0.1 million in Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from less than $0.1 million in Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. Pre-opening expenses for the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 relate to the opening of one restaurant in Mooreseville, North Carolina in June 2003.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.2 million, or 10.0%, to $1.8 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $2.0 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased 0.5% to 5.0% for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from 5.5% for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. The decrease, both in dollars and as a percentage of

34

Table of Contents

revenues, is due to the fact that depreciation expense was discontinued on idle facilities and equipment as a result of closing restaurants (including leases rejected in the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings), due to equipment at some older restaurants becoming fully depreciated and due to asset impairment charges which were taken in fiscal year 2003 that reduced the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 13.3%, to $1.7 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $1.5 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased 0.5% to 4.6% for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from 4.1% for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. The increase, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues, is primarily attributable to additional training expense, which is a result of the Company’s increased emphasis on hiring and maintaining high quality restaurant managers.

     Reorganization expenses. Reorganization expenses represent expenses incurred relating to the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings and reorganization under Chapter 11 and primarily are comprised of legal, professional and consulting services. No reorganization expenses were incurred during the Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter. Total reorganization expenses incurred during the Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter were $1.5 million, or 4.1% of revenues. Management believes that no significant reorganization expenses will be incurred in fiscal year 2004.

     Total other expense. Total other expense increased $0.6 million to $0.8 million for Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter from $0.2 million for Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter. The increase was primarily due to the forgiveness of the Company’s interest expense during the period of bankruptcy. Management believes that, based on current debt outstanding, interest expense will be approximately $0.8 million to $0.9 million for each of the quarters of fiscal 2004.

     Income tax (benefit) expense. The Company did not recognize a tax benefit relating to the operating loss for either Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter or Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter because management believes that it is not likely that all of its deferred tax assets will be realized in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company’s material financial commitments relate principally to its working capital requirements and its obligations to make operating and capital lease and term loan payments in accordance with the terms of its agreements. See Notes 5, 6, and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s current outstanding debt and capital and operating lease obligations. As of July 27, 2003, total

35

Table of Contents

minimum annual payments required under the Company’s note and lease obligations, including interest thereon, were $20.2 million. In addition, capital requirements relating to the opening of new restaurants have in the past been (and may in the future be) significant.

     The Company opened one new restaurant in fiscal year 2003 at a total cost of approximately $1.1 million. Also, the Company opened one additional restaurant in June 2003 at a total cost of $1.8 million, of which $1.4 million was expended prior to April 27, 2003 and $0.4 million was expended in the Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter. The Company does not currently expect to open any additional company-owned restaurants in fiscal year 2004. At this time, it is expected that the cash required to develop new restaurants beyond fiscal 2004 will be funded from operations. Should cash from operations be insufficient for future expansion and additional capital through debt and equity sources be unavailable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to open additional restaurants.

     During fiscal year 2003, the Company’s primary sources of working capital were the debt restructuring and working capital provided by operations. The Company also filed for federal income tax refunds totaling approximately $1.2 million during fiscal year 2003, of which $0.6 million was collected in fiscal year 2003 and the remaining $0.6 million was collected in the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003. The Company has also filed for approximately $0.2 million in additional federal and state income tax refunds in the Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter, which it presently expects to collect during the second quarter of the 2004 fiscal year. Also, during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a loyalty and rewards company involving the discounted advanced sale of food and beverage credits to be used at its restaurants. As part of the agreement, the Company received a $1.5 million advance payment in exchange for food and beverage credits during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003. Such funds will be used to cover operating expenses relating to the use of the food and beverage credits by the members of the loyalty and rewards company. See further discussion in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The Company expects that its primary sources of cash flow in fiscal year 2004 will be cash flow from operations, the collection of income tax refunds, the sale of food and beverage credits and the possible refinance of the mortgage on its corporate headquarters building or sale/leaseback of certain of its properties.

     The Company has experienced significant cash flow problems in the past. The Company believes that its ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon, among other things, increased demand for its products, a continued commitment to providing an excellent dining experience for its customers, the development and implementation of successful marketing strategies and continuing its efforts to reduce its operating costs. The Company has implemented revenue enhancement programs including the implementation of a new menu with enhanced menu items in June 2003 along with cost reduction initiatives designed to produce positive cash flow and achieve sustainable profitable operations. There can be no assurance that these initiatives will be

36

Table of Contents

effective in generating profits or producing sufficient cash flows to fund operating requirements, including debt repayments and lease obligations.

     Capital requirements relating to the implementation of the Company’s business plan have been and will continue to be significant. If cash generated from the Company’s operations and other possible sources described above are insufficient to fund the Company’s financial commitments and working capital requirements (including amounts required to support future growth), the Company will have to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional debt and/or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. In the event the Company is unable to secure needed additional financing, the Company may have to significantly curtail its operations.

SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS

     Cash provided by operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 was $2.5 million, compared with $0.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. The primary sources of cash for the Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter were the net income generated from operations excluding non cash expenses including depreciation and amortization, the advance sale of food and beverage credits and collection of income tax refunds. The primary source of cash for the Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter was net cash generated from operations excluding reorganization expenses and non cash expenses, net of paydowns on accrued expenses.

     Cash used in investing activities during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 was $0.8 million, compared to $0.3 million used during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. Cash used in investing activities in both fiscal periods consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment including $0.4 million relating to the new restaurants opened during April and June 2003.

     Cash used in financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003 was $1.4 million, compared to $0.6 million used during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2002. Cash used in financing activities in both fiscal periods consisted of repayments of long term debt and capital lease obligations.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     The Company opened one new restaurant in April 2003 at a total cost of approximately $1.1 million. Also, the Company opened one additional restaurant in June 2003 at a total cost of $1.8 million, of which $1.4 million was expended prior to April 27, 2003 and $0.4 million was expended during the thirteen weeks ended July 27, 2003. The Company does not currently expect to open any additional Company-owned restaurants in fiscal 2004. At this time, it is expected that the cash required to develop new Company-owned restaurants beyond 2004 will be funded by cash from operations. (See discussion above).

SEASONALITY AND OPERATING RESULTS

     The Company’s operating results fluctuate seasonally because of its geographic concentration. Of the 70 restaurants currently owned and operated by the Company, 35 are located in generally residential or light commercial areas in Florida. The Company’s restaurant sales generally increase from November through April, the peaks of the Florida tourism season, and generally decrease from May through October. In addition, because of its present geographic concentration, the Company’s results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a decline in tourism in Florida, downturns in Florida’s economy or by hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions in Florida. To offset this seasonal trend and to attempt to reduce the decline in sales during the off-season, the Company runs special promotions for its customers, incentive contests for its employees and otherwise focuses marketing initiatives to increasing sales during these periods.

     In addition to seasonality, the Company’s quarterly and annual operating results and comparable unit sales may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including:

	•		the amount of sales contributed by new and existing restaurants;
	•		labor costs for the Company’s personnel;
	•		changes in food and product costs;
	•		taxes, maintenance, repairs and utilities associated with the properties where the Company’s restaurants are located;
	•		the Company’s ability to achieve and sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis;
	•		consumer confidence and changes in consumer preferences;
	•		health concerns, including adverse publicity concerning food-related illness;
	•		the level of competition from existing or new competitors in the full-service casual dining segment of the restaurant industry; and
	•		economic conditions generally and in each of the markets in which the Company is located.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     The primary inflationary factors affecting the Company’s operations include food, beverage and labor costs. Labor costs are affected by changes in the labor market generally and, because many of the Company’s employees are paid at federal and state established minimum wage levels, changes in such wage laws affect the Company’s labor costs. In addition, most of the Company’s leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs and utilities, and these costs are subject to inflationary pressures. The Company believes recent low inflation rates in its principal markets have contributed to relatively stable food and labor costs except for beef costs which have recently risen for the reasons described above. There is no assurance that low inflation rates will continue or that the Company will have the ability to control costs in the future.

OUTLOOK

     The following discussion of the Company’s anticipated future operating results and expansion strategy and other statements in this report that are not historical statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2003, as well as to the other disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further discussion on forward-looking statements and the risks and other factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its goals and cause these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

     As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the economy has shown recent signs of strengthening, however concerns still exist as to the strength of consumer spending due to the economic downturn and world events including terrorism and the conflict in the Middle East. The Company’s revenue projections assume that current spending trends do not worsen during fiscal 2004. Actual results in fiscal 2004 could vary significantly as a result of changes in consumer spending and the economy in general.

     Fiscal 2004 revenue. As discussed above, the Company opened one new restaurant in April of fiscal 2003 and an additional new restaurant in June 2003. No additional new restaurant openings are currently planned for fiscal 2004. Also, the Company closed one restaurant as of July 27, 2003 in conjunction with the sale of the related leasehold interest in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The remaining 68 Company-owned restaurants will qualify as comparable restaurants during fiscal 2004. Management currently believes that food and beverage sales for its comparable stores for fiscal 2004 will range between flat to a 1% increase compared to fiscal 2003. This anticipated improvement as compared to the reduction in sales at comparable restaurants of 6% experienced between fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 is projected based upon the

39

Table of Contents

improvements that have recently been implemented that are designed to improve the dining experience of customers and the consistency in operations, as well as the anticipated impact of the new menu with enhanced menu items that was implemented in June 2003.

     Management intends to focus efforts on identifying opportunities during fiscal 2004 to expand its operations in relation to franchised restaurants. The Company believes that this represents a growth opportunity and would require significantly lower capital resources from the Company than expansion of Company-owned restaurants. This initiative is not expected to generate significant revenue or operating profit during fiscal 2004. Accordingly, revenue anticipated to be generated from royalty fees and other income is expected to be less than 1% of total revenues in fiscal 2004.

     Food and beverage costs. The Company has been able to reduce its food and beverage costs as a percentage of revenues over the last two years due to a change in its primary food distributor and by utilizing more efficient and cost effective purchasing initiatives. Management believed that through continued efforts in these areas it would be able to maintain its food and beverage costs in fiscal 2004 at a level relatively flat with fiscal 2003. However, due to the recent instance of Mad Cow Disease that was reported in Canada, the supply of meat products from Canada has been temporarily closed. This has resulted in a reduction in meat supply and a corresponding increase in food costs for the Company’s restaurants through the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. Management can not predict the duration of the closure of the Canadian supply markets or further impacts that may occur as a result of this event. However, it is currently anticipated that this event will cause food and beverage costs to increase in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003.

     Labor and benefits. The Company has experienced an increase in labor and benefits costs over the last two years as a percentage of revenues. This increase has resulted from significant increases in the cost of providing medical benefits to employees, continued increases in the cost of workers’ compensation insurance as well as from wage pressure resulting from a tight labor market. Management currently expects labor and benefit costs, as a percentage of revenues, to range from flat to a decrease of 1.0% due to more efficient management of hourly labor and changes implemented in its medical benefit plan in June 2003.

     Occupancy and other. Management has recently implemented cost cutting initiatives in regards to a number of the component areas included in occupancy and other expenses. Marketing expenses are currently planned of approximately 2.0% of total revenues in fiscal year 2004. Due to these cost cutting initiatives and reduced costs expected to be incurred as a result of the conversion of certain equipment leases from operating leases to capital leases in fiscal 2003, management presently expects occupancy and other expenses to decrease between 1.5% and 2.5% as a percent of total revenues in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003.

     Pre-opening expenses. As discussed above, the Company opened one new restaurant in June 2003. No additional new restaurant openings are currently planned for

40

Table of Contents

fiscal 2004. As a result, pre-opening expenses are not anticipated to be significant in fiscal 2004.

     Depreciation and amortization. The Company is continuing to make capital investments in its restaurants in regards to replacement equipment and necessary building improvements. Management currently expects that total depreciation and amortization expense will remain relatively flat due to the opening of new restaurants and other capital investments and the offsetting impact of assets that have or will become fully depreciated during fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004.

     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses have declined over the last two years due to cost control initiatives and the consolidation of operations. The Company currently plans to make additional investments in fiscal 2004 in its franchising efforts and in its investment in its regional supervisors and manager training in order to improve the oversight of restaurant operations and enhance the effectiveness of operational improvements. As a result, management currently expects that its general and administrative expenses will remain relatively flat in fiscal 2004 and may increase slightly compared to fiscal 2003.

     Reorganization expenses. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will incur any significant reorganization expenses in fiscal 2004.

     Total other expense. Based on the current debt and capital lease obligations outstanding, the Company presently anticipates that total other expense, which is primarily comprised of interest expense, will range between $3.2 million and $3.6 million in fiscal 2004.

     Income tax (benefit) expense. The Company has recently filed in fiscal 2004 for approximately $0.2 million in federal and state income tax refunds that the Company anticipates will be recognized in results of operations in fiscal 2004. Due to the existence of federal and state income tax loss carryforwards, the Company does not currently anticipate that any significant additional income tax expense or benefits will be recorded or realized in fiscal 2004.

ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company’s exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the fluctuating interest rates associated with variable rate indebtedness which is subject to interest rate changes in the United States and Eurodollar markets. The Company does not currently use, and has not historically used, derivative financial instruments to hedge against such market interest rate risk. At July 27, 2003, the Company had approximately $2.4 million in variable rate indebtedness outstanding, representing approximately 5% of the Company’s total outstanding indebtedness. Changes in market interest rates, either increasing or decreasing rates by up to ten percent, would have no material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

     Certain of the food products purchased by the Company are affected by commodity pricing and are, therefore, subject to unpredictable price volatility. These commodities are generally purchased based upon market prices established with vendors. The purchase arrangement may contain contractual features that limit the price paid by establishing certain floors and caps. The Company does not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices because the Company’s purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid. Extreme changes in commodity prices and/or long-term changes could affect the Company adversely. However, any changes in commodity prices would affect the Company’s competitors at about the same time as the Company. The Company expects that in most cases increased commodity prices could be passed through to its consumers via increases in menu prices. From time to time, competitive circumstances could limit menu price flexibility, and in those cases margins would be negatively impacted by increased commodity prices.

     This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the discussion based upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets.

ITEM 4.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS

     Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong. During January 1996, the Company entered into a Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (HK) Limited (“Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong”), which is for an indefinite period and provides for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong. The Master Development Agreement was recently amended by an addendum to Master Development Agreement, dated August 2003 (as amended, the “Hong Kong Master Development Agreement”). Under the terms of the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement, the Company will be entitled to receive 50% of all revenues received by Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong from third party franchisees, including, but not limited to, franchise fees, reservation fees and royalty fees. The Hong Kong Master Development Agreement provides for minimum initial franchise and ongoing royalty fees. In addition, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to establish an office for the purpose of selling Roadhouse Grill franchises in Hong Kong. Subject to the selling of franchises by Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule, the Company will pay 50% of the pre-approved budgeted expenses of the office. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to pay 50% of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its duties and obligations under the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement. The Company and Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong will each be 50% responsible for any liabilities that arise from the attraction, selection, granting, administration and supervision of franchisees (except for any liabilities caused solely or primarily by either of them, which such causing party shall be fully responsible for), and Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong has agreed to maintain an insurance policy for coverage against such liabilities. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to develop any specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but must use its best efforts to sell franchises in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule. Under certain circumstances, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong may also establish its own Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong. In that event, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to pay any franchise or reservation fee for its restaurants, but is required to pay the Company royalty fees based on gross sales in connection with the operation of each of its restaurants. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is also responsible for paying or reimbursing approved expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the opening of each restaurant. As of July 27, 2003, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong had not developed or opened any Roadhouse Grill restaurants pursuant to the Master Development Agreement.

     Roadhouse Grill Asia. During January 1996, the Company entered into a Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (Cayman) Limited (“Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong”), which is for an indefinite period and provides for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim (other than Hong Kong), including, but not limited to, Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines and Thailand. The Master Development Agreement was recently amended by an addendum to Master Development Agreement, dated August 2003 (as amended, the “Asia Master Development Agreement”). The material terms of Asia Master Development Agreement, including the terms relating to the establishment of an

45

Table of Contents

office and the sharing of franchising revenues, office expenses and certain expenses, are substantially the same as those under the Hong Kong Master Development Agreement summarized above. Under the Asia Master Development Agreement, Roadhouse Grill Asia is not required to develop any specific number of restaurants in Asia, but must use its best efforts to sell franchises in accordance with an agreed upon development schedule.

     Roadhouse Grill Asia currently operates three franchised Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Malaysia. The Company accrued less than $0.1 million in royalty income from those restaurants during fiscal year 2003. Royalty income is currently being offset against interest that the Company owes to Berjaya. This offset of royalty income will continue until the royalty receivable exceeds the amount due Berjaya, which approximates $129,000 as of July 27, 2003. Once the royalty receivable exceeds the payable to Berjaya, the Company expects to begin collecting the earned royalty fees.

     Berjaya, which beneficially owns approximately 66.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, directly or indirectly owns both Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and Roadhouse Grill Asia.
