FIRST QUARTER FY 2006 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER FY 2005 RESULTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted EPS was ($0.04) versus $0.03 on a net loss of ($393,000) versus net
income of $285,000.

Revenues decreased approximately 11% or $1.6 million primarily due to lower
comparable chainwide retail sales, fewer net stores and the effect of Hurricane
Katrina (combined total is approximately $1.2 million). Additionally, equipment
sales decreased $241,000 and international sales of food and equipment decreased
$119,000.

Comparable chainwide retail sales were down 3.5%.

Legal fees increased approximately $363,000 as the result of ongoing
litigation and related matters.

Energy costs increased approximately $156,000.

General and administrative expenses included non-cash executive stock
compensation expense of $103,000 for approximately 560,000 stock option rights
granted previously to the chief executive officer and members of the board of
directors. The prior year did not include any non-cash compensation expense.

The Company's President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, "Despite the temporary
negative impact of Hurricane Katrina on our financial results, our primary
concern is with the people of the Gulf Region and our operators there. We must,
however, remain focused on the fundamentals of our business, from concept
development to unit-level profitability. In the coming weeks we will introduce
our new buffet concept in the Dallas and Houston markets, featuring a more
progressive approach to our brand and its profitability. In addition, a new
franchisee selection program will roll out in November of this year, targeting
strategic markets throughout the chain. Also, as our Product and Purchasing
Committee reduces costs in the operating system, our marketing efforts have been
refocused to illuminate the brand's core competency - a tradition of serving
quality food and hospitality."
