GRILL, INC.
THE COMPANY
The Company currently owns and operates 30 and franchises or licenses six
full-service, casual dining restaurants under the name "Roadhouse Grill." The
Roadhouse Grill concept offers a fun, value-oriented dining experience that
features premium quality grilled entrees and friendly service consistent with
the Company's motto: "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse
Style."/registered trademark/ The comfortable, entertaining roadhouse setting
is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, including business
people, couples, singles and particularly families.
Roadhouse Grill restaurants have an energetic and casual atmosphere. The
interior of each restaurant is large, open and visually appealing, featuring
exposed ceilings and brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful,
hand-painted murals and neon signs. Multi-level seating provides guests with
a full view of the restaurant, including the exhibition grill and display
kitchen, allowing everyone to enjoy the Roadhouse Grill experience. The
exhibition cooking area features a mesquite-fired grill, a kitchen where
homemade yeast rolls are made throughout the day and a display case filled
with fresh cuts of meat, seafood and salads. To help create Roadhouse Grill's
casual ambience, metal pails of roasted peanuts top each table, guests are
encouraged to toss peanut shells on the floor, drinks are served in mason
jars, long neck beers are delivered in metal buckets filled with ice, and a
classic jukebox entertains guests with popular rock and country and western
music. The exterior of each restaurant features rough-sawed siding, a
wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in neon and an oversized
"Roadhouse Grill" sign.
The Roadhouse Grill menu features aged USDA Choice steaks hand cut at each
restaurant, ribs, chicken and seafood, all of which are grilled to order. In
addition to grilled selections, the menu offers a variety of appetizers,
sandwiches, salads and desserts, including signature items such as Roadhouse
cheese wraps, hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and
a daily selection of homemade ice cream. Prices range from $2.99 to $6.29 for
lunch entrees and from $4.99 to $15.99 for dinner entrees. For the nine
months ended September 29, 1996, the average guest check, including beverage,
was approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25 for dinner.
Since opening its first Roadhouse Grill in March 1993, the Company has
grown rapidly, adding two additional restaurants in 1993, three restaurants
in 1994, 13 restaurants in 1995 and, to date, 11 restaurants in 1996.
Although the Company has recently opened restaurants in Georgia, South
Carolina and upstate New York, the Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants
are located primarily in Florida. The Company's growth strategy is to
continue opening Company-owned restaurants primarily in the Southeastern and
Gulf Coast regions of the United States. The Company currently plans to open
two more restaurants in 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants in 1997.
3
<PAGE>
The Company currently has six franchised or licensed restaurants. Of
these, three are located in Malaysia and three are located in the United
States. The Company expects that its international franchisees will open at
least two additional Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Asia and the Pacific Rim
by the end of 1997. Although the Company has granted certain domestic
franchise/development rights, it intends to focus on expansion of
Company-owned restaurants in the United States.
The Company believes that Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants have
achieved attractive unit level economics. The 12 Company-owned restaurants that
were open for the entire twelve-month period ended June 30, 1996 generated
average restaurant revenues of approximately $2.9 million for such period. The
average cash investment, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening expenses,
required to open each of the 27 Roadhouse Grill restaurants opened by the
Company prior to September 29, 1996 was approximately $1.3 million. The
Company's current prototype restaurant is approximately 6,800 square feet with
seating for approximately 210 guests. The Company expects that the average cash
investment required to open such a prototype restaurant, including pre-opening
expenses but excluding real estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million or
$1.4 million, depending upon whether the Company converts an existing building
or constructs a new restaurant. Real estate costs will vary depending upon
whether the Company purchases or leases restaurant properties and depending upon
market conditions and location of the properties. The average real estate
acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned by the Company was
approximately $880,000. The average monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996
(through September 30, 1996) for the 19 restaurant sites leased by the Company
was approximately $11,000 per site.
Roadhouse Grill restaurants are based upon a roadhouse-style concept
developed in 1991 by the Company's founder and Chief Executive Officer, John
David Toole III. During the last two years, the Company has assembled a
corporate management team averaging more than 11 years of experience in the
restaurant industry. The Company believes that personable, well-trained
employees are essential to the overall success of Roadhouse Grill restaurants
and, accordingly, selects employees based upon personality and initiative,
devotes significant resources to employee development and emphasizes training
and internal promotion.
The Company was incorporated in Florida in October 1992, and its principal
executive offices are located at 6600 N. Andrews Avenue, Suite 160, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33309. Its telephone number at that address is (954)
489-9699.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IN
EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; OPERATING LOSSES
The Company was incorporated in October 1992, and the first Company-owned
Roadhouse Grill restaurant was opened in March 1993. The Company incurred
losses of $713,000, $2.5 million, $3.5 million and $168,000 in Fiscal 1993,
Fiscal 1994, Fiscal 1995 and the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996,
respectively, and there can be no assurance that the Company's operations
will be profitable in the future.
RISKS OF RAPID EXPANSION; MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
The Company's continued growth will depend on its ability to open and
operate new restaurants on a timely and profitable basis. The Company intends
to open two new restaurants during the balance of 1996 and approximately 15
restaurants during 1997. The ability of the Company to open and operate new
restaurants on a timely and profitable basis is subject to various
contingencies, some of which are beyond the Company's control. These
contingencies include, among others, the Company's ability to secure suitable
restaurant sites on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, to obtain
required governmental permits and approvals, to complete construction on a
cost-effective and timely basis, to hire, train and retain skilled management
and other personnel, to obtain adequate financing or other capital resources
and to successfully integrate new restaurants into the Company's existing
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve its planned expansion or that its expansion will be profitable.
Profitability may be adversely affected by costs associated with developing a
significant number of new restaurants over a relatively short period of time.
New restaurants typically incur above-average operating costs during the
first several months of operation, which have a material adverse effect on
the profitability of such restaurants during such period. In addition,
although the Company intends to open new restaurants within its current
market area, it also intends to open new restaurants in geographic markets in
which the Company has limited or no previous operating experience. Failure of
the Company to achieve its planned expansion on a profitable basis would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial condition.
The Company is subject to a variety of business risks associated with
rapidly growing companies, including the risk that existing management,
information systems and financial controls will be inadequate to support the
Company's planned expansion. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to respond on a timely basis to all of the changing demands that its
planned expansion will impose on management and such systems and controls. In
addition, several members of the Company's management team have recently
joined the Company and have no experience operating a large restaurant chain.
The failure to continue to evaluate and improve management, information
systems and financial controls or unexpected difficulties encountered during
expansion could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition.
FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS
The Company currently intends to finance new restaurants with cash from
operations and the net proceeds from the Offering. The Company intends to open
two new restaurants during the balance of 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants
in 1997. The Company expects that the average cash investment required to open
its prototype restaurants, including pre-opening expenses but excluding real
estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, depending upon
whether the Company converts an existing building or constructs a new
restaurant. Real estate costs will vary depending upon whether the Company
purchases or leases restaurant properties and depending upon market conditions
and location of the properties. The average real estate acquisition cost for the
11 restaurant sites owned by the Company was approximately $880,000. The average
monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996 (through September 30, 1996) for the 19
restaurant sites leased by the Company was approximately $11,00 per site. There
can be no assurance that the actual cost of opening the
6
<PAGE>
Company's prototype restaurants will not be significantly greater than that
expected by the Company. Historically, the Company has funded its working
capital needs through sales of Common and Preferred Stock and borrowings from
related parties. The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering
together with cash from operations, will be sufficient to fund its working
capital needs and anticipated expansion for the next eight months. In order to
complete its anticipated expansion through 1997, the Company will be required to
incur short-term or long-term indebtedness or issue, in public or private
transactions, equity or debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that
such debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. The Company currently does not have a credit facility with a
bank or other financial institution. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION; SMALL RESTAURANT BASE
Of the 30 restaurants currently owned and operated by the Company, 24 are
located in Florida. Consequently, the Company's results of operations may be
materially adversely affected by downturns in Florida's economy or by
hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions in Florida. Also, adverse
publicity in Florida relating to Roadhouse Grill restaurants could have a
more pronounced effect on the Company's results of operations than might be
the case if its restaurants were broadly dispersed geographically. Further,
there can be no assurance that continued expansion in the Company's current
market areas will not adversely affect the financial performance of other
restaurants already operated by the Company in those areas. In addition, the
Company has recently opened new restaurants in Georgia, South Carolina and
upstate New York. However, the Company has not previously managed restaurants
that are geographically dispersed, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to operate restaurants profitably outside Florida.
The operating results achieved to date by the Company's relatively small
restaurant base may not be indicative of the future operating results of a
larger number of restaurants. In addition, due to the Company's small
restaurant base, poor operating results at any one restaurant could adversely
affect the results of operations of the entire Company.
SEASONALITY AND FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's sales and earnings fluctuate seasonally, and the Company's
highest sales and earnings historically have occurred in its first and fourth
fiscal quarters. The Company's restaurants are located primarily in Florida,
and the Company believes that the effects of seasonality are more pronounced
in Florida than in other states. In addition, quarterly results are
significantly affected by the timing of new restaurant openings, as new
restaurants incur above-average operating costs during the first several
months of operation. Accordingly, to the extent that restaurant openings are
concentrated in any fiscal period, results of operations for such fiscal
period and subsequent fiscal periods may be materially adversely affected.
Due to the seasonality of the Company's business and the impact of new
restaurant openings, results of operations may fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter, and the Company's results of operations for any
particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
achieved for the full fiscal year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Seasonality and Quarterly
Results."
COMPETITION FOR CUSTOMERS, SITES AND LABOR
The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a
broad range of restaurants, including national and regional casual dining
chains as well as locally-owned restaurants, some of which operate with
concepts similar to that of the Company. Many of the Company's competitors
are well established and have substantially greater market presence and
financial and other resources than the Company. The entrance of new
competitors into the Company's market areas or the expansion of operations by
existing competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company
competes with other restaurant companies and retailers for sites, labor and,
in many cases, customers. The Company believes that the
7
<PAGE>
key competitive factors in the restaurant industry are quality of food and
service, price, location and concept. To the extent that one or more of its
competitors becomes more successful in respect of any key competitive factor,
the Company's business could be adversely affected. See "Business--
Competition; Restaurant Industry."
CERTAIN RISKS OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY; CHANGES IN DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS; AVAILABILITY OF QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES
The restaurant industry is affected by changes in consumer tastes as well
as national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends,
traffic patterns, and the type, number and location of competing restaurants.
Dependence on fresh meats and produce also subjects restaurant companies to
the risk that shortages or interruptions in supply could adversely affect the
availability, quality or cost of ingredients. In addition, factors such as
inflation, increased food, labor and employee benefit costs and the
availability of qualified management and hourly employees also may adversely
affect the restaurant industry generally and the Company's restaurants in
particular. The success and future profitability of the Company will depend
in part on its ability to identify and respond to changing conditions within
the restaurant industry.
ADVERSE CHANGES IN FOOD, LABOR AND OTHER COSTS; SUPPLY RISKS
The profitability of the Company is significantly dependent on its ability
to anticipate and react to changes in food, labor, employee benefits and
similar costs over which the Company has little or no control. The Company is
dependent on frequent deliveries of fresh beef and produce, the cost of which
represented approximately 16% of total revenues for Fiscal 1995. Shortages or
interruptions in the supply of fresh beef and produce, which may be caused by
adverse weather or other conditions, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the
Company purchased approximately 87% of its food and other products from two
distributors during Fiscal 1995. On August 5, 1996, the Company began doing
business with only one of these two principal distributors and anticipates
that approximately 80% of its food and other products will be purchased from
that distributor in the future. While the Company believes that alternative
sources of supply are readily available, the loss of this distributor could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations during
the period in which alternative supply arrangements are established.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION CONCERNING RESTAURANT OPERATIONS, EMPLOYEES AND
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local government
laws and regulations, including those relating to the sale of food and
alcoholic beverages and the development, construction and operation of the
Company's restaurants. The failure to comply with any such laws and
regulations, including the failure to obtain or maintain any liquor licenses,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
and financial condition. The Company is also subject to laws governing its
relationship with employees, including minimum wage requirements, laws and
regulations relating to overtime and working and safety conditions and
citizenship requirements. Material increases in the minimum hourly wage,
unemployment tax rates, sales taxes or the cost of compliance with any
applicable law or regulation could materially and adversely affect the
Company. The Company is also subject in certain states to "dram-shop"
statutes which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person
the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served
alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. Any liability of the Company
under such statutes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. In connection with its
franchise operations, the Company is required to comply with Federal Trade
Commission and state laws and regulations that govern the offer, sale and
termination of franchises and the refusal to renew franchises. See
"Business--Government Regulation."
DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT
The Company's success will depend largely on the abilities of its senior
management, including John D. Toole III, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. The loss of Mr. Toole's
8
<PAGE>
services or the services of other members of senior management could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition. As the Company expands its operations, the success of its business
will depend increasingly upon the Company's ability to attract and retain
skilled restaurant management personnel. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to attract and retain sufficient personnel, and the
inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. See "Management" and
"Business--Restaurant Operations and Management."
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
Upon completion of the Offering, Berjaya Group (Cayman) Limited
("Berjaya") will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, approximately
57.2% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. As a result, Berjaya will be
able to control the vote on all matters requiring approval by the
shareholders of the Company, to elect the entire Board of Directors and,
effectively, to control the Company. In addition, Berjaya and the other
existing shareholders of the Company are entitled to certain rights of first
refusal with respect to the issuance of equity securities of the Company,
other than shares issued in connection with an underwritten public offering.
See "Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Capital Stock."
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; PRICE VOLATILITY
Prior to the Offering there has been no public market for the Common
Stock, and there can be no assurance that an active public market will
develop or continue after the Offering. The initial public offering price of
the Common Stock will be determined through negotiations between the Company
and the Representatives of the Underwriters, and there can be no assurance
that the market price of the Common Stock after the Offering will not decline
below the initial public offering price. See "Underwriting" for a discussion
of the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering
price.
The market price of the Common Stock could fluctuate significantly in
response to variations in quarterly operating results and other factors,
including the performance of other restaurant companies. In addition, the
securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations
from time to time in recent years that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These
broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
9,166,002 shares of Common Stock, of which the 2,500,000 shares sold pursuant
to the Offering will be fully tradeable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). The remaining shares will be restricted securities as defined by Rule
144 under the Securities Act. Of such shares constituting restricted
securities, 4,161,074 shares will be eligible for sale, subject to certain
restrictions, beginning 90 days after the date of this Prospectus and
2,504,928 shares will become eligible for sale, subject to certain
restrictions, at various times between May 1997 and May 1998. Sales of
substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception
that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price
of the Common Stock or the ability of the Company to raise capital through a
public offering of its equity securities. In addition, certain shareholders
have the right to require the Company to register up to 6,524,335 shares of
Common Stock under the Securities Act. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 2,500,000 shares of
Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of
$10.00 per share are estimated to be approximately $22,760,000 ($26,247,500
if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), after
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds as follows:

The indebtedness to be repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of the
Offering was incurred for the purpose of opening or acquiring Roadhouse Grill
restaurants and for other general corporate purposes. For a discussion of the
terms of the indebtedness being repaid with the net proceeds of the Offering,
see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Management--Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation."
If the Company does not consummate either or both of the purchases of the
remaining 50% interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. and the 50% interest in
the Boca Raton, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant, the Company intends to use
the net proceeds of the Offering that would have been applied to pay such
purchase price or prices primarily for the opening of new restaurants, although
a portion of such net proceeds may be used for other general corporate purposes
at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Pending the use of the net proceeds as described above, the Company plans
to invest such net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing
securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its outstanding
capital stock. The Company intends to retain any earnings to finance
operations and expansion and does not intend to pay cash dividends on the
Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if
any, in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will depend upon such factors as earnings, capital requirements, the
Company's financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board
of Directors. Future loan agreements may restrict or prohibit the payment of
dividends.

DILUTION
Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the
tangible net worth of the Company (tangible assets less liabilities) by the
pro forma aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (which
includes as outstanding the 1,918,616 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the Issued Preferred Stock, which conversion will occur
concurrently with the closing of the Offering). The net tangible book value
of the Company as of June 30, 1996, was approximately $27,753,024, or $4.16
per share, pro forma. After giving effect to the sale of the 2,500,000 shares
of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of
$10.00 per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom after
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the Offering,
the net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996 would have
been approximately $50,513,024, or $5.51 per share, pro forma. This
represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value per
share of $1.35 to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $4.49
per share to new investors. The following table sets forth this per share
dilution.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial
Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
INTRODUCTION
The Company opened its first restaurant in March 1993 in Pembroke Pines,
Florida. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 36 Roadhouse Grill
restaurants in operation, consisting of 30 Company-owned and six franchised
or licensed restaurants. Of the Company-owned restaurants, 24 are located in
Florida and six are located in Georgia, South Carolina and upstate New York.
The Company plans to open an additional two restaurants during the remainder
of 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants in 1997. See "Risk Factors--Risks of
Rapid Expansion; Management of Growth."
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale of food and
beverages. Sales of alcoholic beverages accounted for approximately 12.5%,
13.7%, 13.9% and 13.0% of total revenues in Fiscal 1993, Fiscal 1994, Fiscal
1995 and the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
Franchise and management fees have accounted for less than 1.0% of the
Company's total revenues for all periods since its inception.
The Company's new restaurants can be expected to incur above-average costs
during the first few months of operation. Pre-opening costs, such as employee
recruiting and training costs and other initial expenses incurred in connection
with the opening of a new restaurant, are amortized over a twelve-month period
commencing the first full month after the restaurant opens. During Fiscal 1996
(through September 30, 1996), pre-opening expenses incurred in connection with
the opening of new Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants averaged
approximately $125,000.
In its first three fiscal years of operation, Fiscal 1993, Fiscal 1994 and
Fiscal 1995, the Company incurred net losses of $713,000, $2.5 million and
$3.5 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision
for taxes payable for such fiscal years. At December 31, 1995, the Company
had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $5.9 million.
The average cash investment, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening
expenses, required to open each of the 27 Roadhouse Grill restaurants opened by
the Company prior to September 29, 1996 was approximately $1.3 million. The
average real estate acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned by the
Company was approximately $880,000. The Company has obtained financing in
connection with the acquisition of its owned properties, which financing
generally has required a down payment of 10% of the purchase price. The average
monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996 (through September 30, 1996) for the 19
restaurant sites leased by the Company was approximately $11,000 per site. The
Company expects that the average cash investment required to open its prototype
restaurants, including pre-opening expenses but excluding real estate costs,
will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, depending upon whether the
Company converts an existing building or constructs a new restaurant.
In August 1996, the Company contracted to purchase from an unaffiliated
third party the remaining 50% interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. The
contract provides for the closing of such purchase within 15 days after the
closing of the Offering or as soon thereafter as the conditions to closing
have been satisfied; however, there can be no assurance that such purchase
will be consummated. If the purchase is consummated, the Company will own
100% of the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant. In addition, the
Company is currently negotiating the purchase of a 50% interest in the Boca
Raton, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant from an unaffiliated third party
and expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the
purchase price therefor; however, there can be no assurance that such
purchase will be consummated. The Company has managed the Boca Raton
restaurant under a management agreement since December 1994 and expects to
continue to do so in the foreseeable future. See "Use of Proceeds."
THIRD QUARTER 1996 RESULTS
Based on preliminary information, management estimates that total revenues
will be approximately $16.1 million for the thirteen-week period ended
September 29, 1996. Accordingly, total revenues are
14
<PAGE>
expected to be approximately $43.8 million for the thirty nine weeks then
ended. This would represent an increase in total revenues of 86.4% compared
to $23.5 million for the thirty nine weeks ended October 1, 1995. During the
thirteen-week period ended September 29, 1996, the Company opened five new
Roadhouse Grill Restaurants, including two in upstate New York and one each
in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

========== ========== ========== ========== ===========
</TABLE>
TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEK
PERIOD ENDED JULY 2, 1995
RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1996, there were 19
Company-owned restaurants in operation (including the Kendall, Florida
Roadhouse Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in
which the Company held a 50% ownership interest). At June 30, 1996, there
were 23 Company-owned restaurants in operation, compared to 12 Company-owned
restaurants at July 2, 1995, a 76.9% year-over-year increase in the number of
Company-owned restaurants.
TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $13.8 million, or 100.6%, from
$13.8 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to $27.6
million for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996. This increase was
primarily attributable to the opening of four additional restaurants during
the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996 and the inclusion of all 13
Company-owned restaurants added in Fiscal 1995 for the entire twenty-six week
period ended June 30, 1996, and was partially offset by modest decreases in
sales at other restaurants open during such period.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased $4.5 million, or
89.7%, from $4.9 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to
$9.4 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996. However,
food and beverage costs decreased as a percentage of total revenues from
35.8% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to 33.9% for the
comparable period in Fiscal 1996. This decrease reflects (i) the opening of
fewer new restaurants over a larger base of Company-owned restaurants in
operation during the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996 compared to
the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 and (ii) a continuing decline
in food costs resulting from
15
<PAGE>
increased efficiencies associated with the implementation in Fiscal 1995 of
detailed recipes, training manuals, inventory controls and other management
tools.
LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefit costs increased $3.7 million, or
76.4%, from $4.9 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to
$8.6 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996. However,
labor and benefit costs as a percentage of total revenues decreased from
35.5% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to 31.2% for the
comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to
spreading the costs associated with training managers for new restaurants
over a larger base of Company-owned restaurants in operation during the
twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the twenty-six week
period ended July 2, 1995.
OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased $2.7 million, or
90.6%, from $3.1 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to
$5.8 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996. However,
occupancy and other costs decreased as a percentage of total revenues from
22.2% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to 21.1% for the
comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The decrease in this percentage resulted
primarily from a significant increase in the percentage of restaurants owned,
as opposed to leased, by the Company during the twenty-six week period ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to the comparable period in Fiscal 1995.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased $798,000, or 143.7%, from $555,000 for the twenty-six week period
ended July 2, 1995 to $1.4 million for the twenty-six week period ended June
30, 1996. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenues
increased from 4.0% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to 4.9%
for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The increase in this percentage
resulted primarily from a significant increase in the percentage of
restaurants owned by the Company as opposed to leased during the twenty-six
week period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the comparable period in
Fiscal 1995.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased
$1.2 million, or 103.1%, from $1.1 million for the twenty-six week period
ended July 2, 1995 to $2.3 million for the twenty-six week period ended June
30, 1996. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total
revenues remained relatively constant at 8.3% for the twenty-six week period
ended July 2, 1995 and 8.4% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996.
Economies of scale resulting from a greater number of Company-owned
restaurants in operation during the twenty-six week period ended June 30,
1996, as compared to the comparable period in Fiscal 1995, were offset by
increased expenses in the latter half of Fiscal 1995 associated with
increasing the management and support staff infrastructure in anticipation of
future expansion.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) decreased from
income of $173,000 for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1995 to
expense of $313,000 for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996. This
decrease resulted primarily from interest expense incurred in connection with
the purchase of eight restaurant sites during Fiscal 1995 and the twenty-six
week period ended June 30, 1996 and was partially offset by income earned by
the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant, which was accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. See Note 5 to the Financial
Statements.
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1994, there were three
Company-owned restaurants in operation (including the North Miami, Florida
Roadhouse Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in
which the Company held a 50% ownership interest). During Fiscal 1994, the
Company added three restaurants (including the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse
Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in which the
Company held a 50% ownership interest), and during Fiscal 1995 the Company
added thirteen restaurants. As of the end of Fiscal 1995, the Company had 19
Company-owned restaurants in operation.
TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $22.9 million, or 201.0%, from
$11.4 million in Fiscal 1994 to $34.3 million in Fiscal 1995. This increase
was attributable to the addition of 13 Company-owned restaurants during
Fiscal 1995 and the inclusion of a full year of operations for the two 100%
16
<PAGE>
Company-owned restaurants opened in Fiscal 1994 and was partially offset by
modest decreases in sales at certain restaurants opened in Fiscal 1993 and
Fiscal 1994.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased $8.0 million, or
195.8%, from $4.1 million in Fiscal 1994 to $12.1 million in Fiscal 1995, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 35.9% in Fiscal 1994 to
35.3% in Fiscal 1995. This decrease reflects a decline in food costs
resulting from increased efficiencies associated with the implementation in
Fiscal 1995 of detailed recipes, training manuals, inventory controls and
other management tools.
LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits costs increased $7.4 million, or
160.9%, from $4.6 million in Fiscal 1994 to $12.0 million in Fiscal 1995, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 40.4% in Fiscal 1994 to
35.1% in Fiscal 1995. This decline was primarily attributable to decreased
training and recruiting costs resulting from lower restaurant employee
turnover in Fiscal 1995 compared to Fiscal 1994.
OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased by $6.4 million,
or 275.8%, from $2.3 million in Fiscal 1994 to $8.7 million in Fiscal 1995.
As a percentage of total revenues, occupancy and other costs increased from
20.4% in Fiscal 1994 to 25.4% in Fiscal 1995. This increase resulted
primarily from expanded advertising and promotional activities of the Company
and greater pre-opening expenses in Fiscal 1995 compared to Fiscal 1994.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $1.3 million, or 300.7%, from $415,000 in Fiscal 1994 to $1.7
million in Fiscal 1995. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and
amortization expense increased from 3.6% in Fiscal 1994 to 4.9% in Fiscal
1995. This percentage increase resulted from higher depreciation expense
associated with the purchase of five restaurant sites in Fiscal 1995 and from
the amortization of goodwill associated with three restaurants acquired from
franchisees in Fiscal 1995. All of the Company-owned restaurants opened prior
to Fiscal 1995 are leased.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased
by $1.4 million, or 73.9%, from $1.9 million in Fiscal 1994 to $3.3 million
in Fiscal 1995. This increase was a result of increasing the management and
support staff infrastructure in anticipation of future expansion. As a
percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expense declined
from 16.8% in Fiscal 1994 to 9.7% in Fiscal 1995. The decrease in this
percentage was primarily attributable to economies of scale resulting from a
greater number of Company-owned restaurants in operation during Fiscal 1995.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) increased by
$610,000 from a $571,000 expense in Fiscal 1994 to income of $39,000 in
Fiscal 1995. This increase in total other income (expense) was primarily
attributable to the Company's share of income earned by the Kendall, Florida
Roadhouse Grill restaurant, which was accounted for under the equity method
of accounting, and income from game rooms in new Company-owned restaurants,
which income was partially offset by increased interest expense incurred in
connection with the purchase of five restaurant sites in Fiscal 1995.
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1993, there were no
Company-owned restaurants in operation. The Company added three restaurants
in each of Fiscal 1993 and Fiscal 1994 (including the North Miami, Florida
Roadhouse Grill restaurant added in Fiscal 1993, which was owned by a limited
liability company in which the Company held a 50% ownership interest, and the
Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant added in Fiscal 1994, which was
owned by a separate limited liability company in which the Company held a 50%
ownership interest). As of the end of Fiscal 1994, the Company had six
Company-owned restaurants in operation.
TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $7.9 million, or 228.6%, from
$3.5 million in Fiscal 1993 to $11.4 million in Fiscal 1994. This increase
was attributable to the opening of two 100% Company-owned restaurants during
Fiscal 1994 and the inclusion of a full year of operations for the two 100%
Company-owned restaurants opened in Fiscal 1993.
17
<PAGE>
FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased by $2.6 million, or
177.7%, from $1.5 million in Fiscal 1993 to $4.1 million in Fiscal 1994, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 42.4% in Fiscal 1993 to
35.9% in Fiscal 1994. This decrease was attributable primarily to lower food
costs during Fiscal 1994 that resulted from the introduction of portion
controls and improved inventory management.
LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits costs increased by $3.6 million, or
366.2%, from $988,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $4.6 million in Fiscal 1994. As a
percentage of total revenues, labor and benefits costs increased from 28.5%
in Fiscal 1993 to 40.4% in Fiscal 1994. This increase in labor and benefits
costs was a result of overstaffing existing restaurants in order to hire and
train managers and staff for restaurants to be opened.
OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased by $1.1 million,
or 90.2%, from $1.2 million in Fiscal 1993 to $2.3 million in Fiscal 1994,
but decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 35.2% in Fiscal 1993 to
20.4% in Fiscal 1994. The decrease in this percentage reflects unusually high
occupancy and other costs as a percentage of total revenues in Fiscal 1993,
which resulted primarily from spreading costs associated with the opening of
the Company's first three restaurants over a small revenue base in Fiscal
1993.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $368,000 from $47,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $415,000 in Fiscal 1994.
As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization increased
from 1.4% in Fiscal 1993 to 3.6% in Fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of
depreciation associated with two restaurants opened late in Fiscal 1993 and
three restaurants opened in Fiscal 1994.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased
by $1.6 million from $280,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $1.9 million in Fiscal 1994.
As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expense
increased from 8.1% in Fiscal 1993 to 16.8% in Fiscal 1994. This increase was
the result of the recruitment and hiring of additional management and support
staff in anticipation of future growth.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) decreased by
$398,000 from a $173,000 expense in Fiscal 1993 to a $571,000 expense in
Fiscal 1994. The decrease in total other income (expense) was primarily
attributable to losses incurred by the North Miami and Kendall, Florida
Roadhouse Grill restaurants, which were accounted for under the equity method
of accounting, and incremental financing costs associated with the Company's
growth.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires capital principally for the opening of new
restaurants and has financed its requirements through the private placement
of Common Stock and Preferred Stock and loans from certain private parties,
including present and former shareholders of the Company.
In July 1996, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amounts
of $1.5 million and $500,000 to a former Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company and to a shareholder of the Company, respectively. These notes
were repaid by the Company in August 1996 with the funds received in
connection with the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of
$2.0 million to Berjaya, the Company's principal shareholder. In September
1996, the Company issued another promissory note in the principal amount of
$1.5 million to such former Chairman of the Board. Also in September 1996,
the Company issued an additional promissory note in the principal amount of
$3.0 million to Berjaya. The proceeds of these loans were used for opening
new restaurants, and the Company intends to repay these notes with the net
proceeds of the Offering. See "Management--Compensation Committee Interlocks
and Insider Participation."
In September 1996, the Company borrowed $500,000 from SunTrust Bank,
Miami, N.A. Such loan is unsecured, bears interest at the bank's prime rate
plus 1% and is due and payable on December 31, 1996. The proceeds of this
loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

<PAGE>
The Company's capital expenditures aggregated approximately $8.8 million
for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 1996, substantially all of
which was used to open Roadhouse Grill restaurants. During such period, the
Company received approximately $5.0 million from the private placement of
Common Stock. Net cash provided by operating activities during the twenty-six
week period ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $680,000.
The Company's capital expenditures aggregated $14.5 million for Fiscal
1995, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill
restaurants. In addition, the Company acquired two restaurants for aggregate
cash consideration of $3.0 million. During Fiscal 1995, the Company received
approximately $6.0 million from the private placement of Common Stock. It
also borrowed funds in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million
from a former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (who is also
a former shareholder), which loans were consolidated and extended in January
1996. In addition, the Company borrowed $600,000 from the owner of a 50%
interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. and approximately $3.5 million from
Berjaya. Net cash used in operating activities during Fiscal 1995 was
approximately $784,000.
The Company's capital expenditures aggregated approximately $10.1 million
for Fiscal 1994, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill
restaurants. During Fiscal 1994, the Company received approximately $20.8
million from the private placement of the Issued Preferred Stock and Common
Stock. Net cash used in operating activities during Fiscal 1994 was $1.8
million.
The Company's capital expenditures aggregated $1.4 million during Fiscal
1993, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill
restaurants. During Fiscal 1993, the Company received $1.6 million in
connection with the issuance of promissory notes to Berjaya and $100,500 from
the private placement of Common Stock. In addition, net cash provided by
operating activities during 1993 was approximately $40,000.
The Company expects to open two additional Roadhouse Grill restaurants
during the remainder of 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants during 1997.
The Company expects that the average cash investment required to open its
prototype restaurants, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening expenses,
will be approximately $950,000 or $1.3 million, depending on whether the
Company converts an existing building or constructs a new restaurant. The
Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering together with cash
from operations, will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs for the
next eight months. In order to complete its anticipated expansion through
1997, the Company will be required to incur short-term or long-term
indebtedness or issue, in public or private transactions, equity or debt
securities. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company intends to seek a
bank line of credit for purposes of obtaining additional funding for such
expansion. However, there can be no assurance that such line of credit, or
any other debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company, if at all, or, if available, will be available in an amount
sufficient to fund the Company's working capital needs, including anticipated
expansion.
As is common in the restaurant industry, the Company has generally
operated with negative working capital ($7.1 million as of June 30, 1996).
The Company does not have significant receivables or inventory and receives
trade credit on its purchases of food and supplies.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's sales and earnings fluctuate seasonally. Historically, the
Company's highest earnings have occurred in its first and fourth fiscal
quarters. In addition, quarterly results have been, and in the future are
likely to be, substantially affected by the timing of new restaurant
openings. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business and the impact
of new restaurant openings, results for any quarter are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation has materially affected its
results of operations during the past three fiscal years. Substantial
increases in costs and expenses, particularly food, supplies, labor
19
<PAGE>
and operating expenses could have a significant impact on the Company's
operating results to the extent that such increases cannot be passed along to
customers.
ACCOUNTING MATTERS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by
an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from use of
the asset and its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset.
This new accounting principle was adopted by the Company effective January 1,
1996. As of January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1996, this new accounting principle
had no material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), which becomes effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS
No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock
option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that
method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans.
However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost
for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The Company is currently accounting for
stock-based compensation under APB 25, and will continue accounting for
stock-based compensation under this method.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company currently owns and operates 30 and franchises or licenses six
full-service, casual dining restaurants under the name "Roadhouse Grill." The
Roadhouse Grill concept offers a fun, value-oriented dining experience that
features premium quality grilled entrees and friendly service consistent with
the Company's motto: "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse
Style."/registered trademark/ The comfortable, entertaining roadhouse setting
is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, including business
people, couples, singles and particularly families.
Roadhouse Grill restaurants are based upon a roadhouse-style concept
developed in 1991 by the Company's founder and chief executive officer, John
D. Toole, III. In March 1993, Mr. Toole introduced the roadhouse-style
concept to South Florida by opening the first Roadhouse Grill restaurant in
Pembroke Pines (Fort Lauderdale) with the financial backing of other
restaurant entrepreneurs. Since that time, the Company has grown rapidly,
adding two additional restaurants in 1993, three restaurants in 1994, 13
restaurants in 1995 and, to date, 11 restaurants in 1996. The Company also
franchises or licenses three restaurants in Malaysia and three restaurants in
the United States. A substantial portion of the funding for the Company's
rapid expansion was obtained from capital investments and loans from Berjaya,
its principal shareholder and an affiliate of the Company's franchisees for
Asia and the Pacific Rim.
THE ROADHOUSE GRILL CONCEPT
The key elements that define the Roadhouse Grill concept are:
/bullet/ COMFORTABLE, OPEN LAYOUT. Roadhouse Grill restaurants have an
energetic and casual atmosphere. The interior of each restaurant
is large, open and visually appealing, with exposed ceilings and
brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful,
hand-painted murals and neon signs. Multi-level seating provides
guests with a full view of the restaurant, including the
exhibition grill and display kitchen, allowing everyone to enjoy
the Roadhouse Grill experience. The exhibition cooking area
features a mesquite-fired grill, a kitchen where homemade yeast
rolls are made throughout the day and a display case filled with
fresh cuts of meat, seafood and salads. To help create Roadhouse
Grill's casual ambience, metal pails of roasted peanuts top each
table, guests are encouraged to toss peanut shells on the floor,
drinks are served in mason jars, long neck beers are delivered in
metal buckets filled with ice, and a classic jukebox entertains
guests with popular rock and country and western music. The
exterior of each restaurant features rough-sawed siding, a
wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in neon and an
oversized "Roadhouse Grill" sign.
/bullet/ PREMIUM QUALITY GRILLED ENTREES AND DIVERSE MENU. The Roadhouse
Grill menu features aged USDA Choice steaks, ribs, chicken and
seafood. An in-house butcher at each restaurant cuts and trims
the steaks and prime rib, which are aged both before and after
carving. In addition to grilled selections, the menu includes a
variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and desserts, including
signature items such as Roadhouse cheese wraps,
hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and a
daily selection of homemade ice cream.
/bullet/ HIGH VALUE TO GUESTS. Roadhouse Grill strives to provide a high
value dining experience for its guests by offering a broad,
moderately-priced menu and serving generous portions. At
Roadhouse Grill restaurants, the price of each entree includes a
choice of house or caesar salad, a choice of baked sweet potato,
baked potato, home fries, french fries or rice pilaf and
hot-out-of-the-oven homemade yeast rolls. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday through Friday, each Roadhouse Grill offers a selection of
13 "Lunch in a Rush" menu items ranging from grilled steak salad
to a half-order of ribs, all served to order in under 10 minutes
and priced at $5.99 or less. For the nine months ended September
29, 1996, the average guest check, including beverage, was
approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25 for dinner.
21
<PAGE>
/bullet/ BROAD CUSTOMER APPEAL; FOCUS ON FAMILIES. The Roadhouse Grill
concept is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers,
including business people, couples, singles and particularly
families. The Company believes that to be attractive to families
a concept must be appealing to both children and parents.
Consequently, Roadhouse Grill restaurants furnish children with
coloring menus, balloons and a free souvenir cup, and all
Roadhouse Grill prototype restaurants have a game room featuring
pinball and video games. In addition, each restaurant offers a
special "Kids' Menu" featuring an assortment of entrees for
$2.99. In 1995, Roadhouse Grill was voted a "Best Family
Restaurant" in a survey conducted by SOUTH FLORIDA PARENTING
magazine. For adults, each Roadhouse Grill restaurant offers
beverages from its full-service bar, which is separated from the
dining area.
/bullet/ EFFICIENT, PERSONALIZED SERVICE. The Company believes that a
distinctive, enjoyable dining experience is made possible through
excellent service. Accordingly, the Company hires individuals who
possess strong initiative and the ability to provide quality and
personalized service. Roadhouse Grill attempts to foster the
individuality of its employees, encouraging them to converse and
interact with guests on a friendly, casual basis. Servers often
sit down at the table with guests to take orders, and the
restaurant manager visits each table to help ensure customer
satisfaction.
EXPANSION STRATEGY
The Company's primary expansion strategy is to continue opening
Company-owned restaurants in targeted markets in the United States. The
Company plans to open restaurants primarily in selected medium and large
metropolitan areas primarily in the Southeast and Gulf Coast regions. In
addition, the Company is evaluating prospects for opening restaurants in Ohio
and is considering opening additional restaurants in upstate New York. In
each target market, the Company intends to cluster multiple restaurants to
help build brand awareness and increase efficiencies in marketing and
management. As of the date hereof, the Company had added eleven restaurants
in 1996, and it plans to open two additional Company-owned restaurants during
the remainder of 1996. In 1997, the Company plans to open approximately 15
restaurants, for a total of approximately 47 Company-owned restaurants by the
end of 1997.
The Company also intends to actively support the development of Roadhouse
Grill restaurants in Asia and the Pacific Rim through its international
franchisees, Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (H.K.) Limited, a Hong Kong
corporation ("Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong"), and Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific
(Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation ("Roadhouse Grill Asia"), both
of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Berjaya. The Company expects that
Roadhouse Grill Asia, which currently operates three Roadhouse Grill
restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will develop at least two additional
Roadhouse Grill restaurants in 1997. Berjaya is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Berjaya Group Berhad ("Berjaya Berhad"), a publicly-traded Malaysian company
with diversified interests, which operates more than 25 other restaurants in
Asia and the Pacific Rim. Although the Company has granted rights for the
development of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in certain areas of the United
States, it plans to concentrate domestic expansion on the opening of
Company-owned restaurants.
SITE SELECTION; DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The Company believes the site selection process is critical to the
long-term success of any restaurant and, accordingly, devotes significant
time and effort to the investigation and evaluation of potential locations.
Among the factors it considers in the site selection process are market
demographics (including population, age and median household income), traffic
patterns and activity, site visibility and accessibility, and proximity to
residential developments, office complexes, hotels, retail establishments and
entertainment areas. The Company also considers existing or potential
competition in the area and attempts to analyze the performance of other area
restaurants. Currently, Company-owned restaurants are operated on both owned
and leased sites, with a majority being leased.
22
<PAGE>
Management generally determines which geographic areas may be suitable for
Roadhouse Grill restaurants and then employs real estate agents and brokers
to identify potential sites in each area. In connection with the Company's
evaluation, Company personnel visit and analyze each potential site. After a
location has been leased or purchased and the necessary licenses and permits
obtained, the average time for construction of new Roadhouse Grill
restaurants has been approximately 120 days and the average time for
renovation of an existing building has been approximately 90 days. However,
there can be no assurance that such construction schedules can be maintained
in the future.
Roadhouse Grill restaurants are large, open and visually appealing, with
exposed ceilings and brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful,
hand-painted murals and neon signs. The prototypical interior also includes
multi-level seating, an exhibition grill and display kitchen and a game room
featuring pinball and video games. The exterior of each restaurant features
rough-sawed siding, a wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in neon
and an oversized "Roadhouse Grill" sign. Company-owned restaurants opened prior
to March 1996 range generally from 6,000 to 8,500 square feet in size. During
the last year, the Company refined its prototype from approximately 7,500 square
feet (with seating for approximately 235 guests) to approximately 6,800 square
feet (with seating for approximately 210 guests) in an effort to reduce
construction costs without significantly impacting restaurant sales. The Company
expects that the average cash investment required to open its prototype
restaurants, including pre-opening expenses but excluding real estate costs,
will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, depending on whether the
Company converts an existing building or constucts a new restaurant. However,
there can be no assurance that the cost of opening Roadhouse Grill restaurants
in the future will not increase. See "Risk Factors--Limited Operating History;
Operating Losses" and "Risk Factors--Risks of Rapid Expansion; Management of
Growth."
RESTAURANT ECONOMICS
The Company believes that Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants have
achieved attractive unit level economics. The 12 Company-owned restaurants which
were open for the entire twelve-month period ended June 30, 1996 generated
average restaurant revenues of approximately $2.9 million, average restaurant
cash flow of approximately $380,000 and average restaurant operating income
after depreciation and amortization of approximately $217,000. The average cash
investment, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening expenses, required to
open each of the 27 Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants opened by the
Company prior to September 29, 1996 was approximately $1.3 million. The average
real estate acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned by the Company
was approximately $880,000. The average monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996
(through September 30, 1996) for the 19 restaurant sites leased by the Company
was approximately $11,000 per site. The average amount of pre-opening expenses
incurred for each Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurant opened during Fiscal
1996 (through September 30, 1996) was approximately $125,000. However, there can
be no assurance that existing or new restaurants will achieve unit economics in
the future at the levels achieved in the twelve months ended June 30, 1996 or
that the cost of opening a Roadhouse Grill restaurant will not increase. See
"Risk Factors--Limited Operating History; Operating Losses" and "Risk
Factors--Risks of Rapid Expansion; Management of Growth."

The Company currently has under construction, and expects to open by the
end of 1996, two restaurants, one each in Rochester, New York and Duluth
(Atlanta), Georgia. In addition to the foregoing, nine sites for restaurants
that are expected to open in 1997 have been acquired or leased, one each in
Mobile, Alabama; Melbourne and Doral (Miami), Florida; Gretna and Shreveport,
Louisiana; Biloxi and Jackson, Mississippi; Columbus, Ohio; and Columbia,
South Carolina, four of which are currently under construction.
Of the Company's 30 restaurants, 19 are located on leased sites. Existing
restaurant leases have expiration dates ranging from December 1996 to April
2015. The Company leases approximately 8,000 square feet for its corporate
offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida under a three year lease which expires
September 30, 1998.
MENU AND PRICING
The Roadhouse Grill menu features USDA Choice steaks and prime rib, beef
ribs, chicken and seafood, all of which are grilled to order. The Company's
steaks and prime rib are aged both before and after being cut and trimmed by
each restaurant's in-house butcher. The menu features over sixty items,
including eight cuts of steak ranging from 6 oz. to 18 oz. In addition to
grilled selections, the menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches,
salads and desserts, including signature items such as Roadhouse cheese
wraps, hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and a daily
selection of homemade ice cream. Each entree is served with a choice of a
house salad or caesar salad, a choice of baked sweet potato, baked potato,
home fries, french fries or rice pilaf and homemade yeast rolls. Roadhouse
Grill restaurants are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and offer
full bar service. Prices range from $2.99 to $6.29 for lunch entrees and from
$4.99 to $15.99 for dinner entrees. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through
Friday, in addition to its full menu, each Roadhouse Grill offers a selection
of 13 "Lunch in a Rush" menu items ranging from grilled steak salad to a
half-order of ribs, all prepared to order in under 10 minutes and priced at
$5.99 or less. For the nine months ended September 29, 1996, the average
guest check, including beverage, was approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25
for dinner.
RESTAURANT OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT
RESTAURANT PERSONNEL. The Company believes that excellent service
contributes significantly to a distinctive, enjoyable dining experience.
Accordingly, the Company seeks to hire individuals who possess strong
initiative and the ability to provide quality and personalized service.
Roadhouse Grill attempts to foster the individuality of its employees,
encouraging them to interact with customers on a friendly, casual basis.
Consistent with the Company's preference to promote from within, restaurant
managers generally are selected from Company personnel. The Company seeks to
retain high-quality restaurant managers and personnel by providing them with
opportunities for promotion and financial incentives based on individual
restaurant performance. These financial incentives include a bonus plan which
enables each restaurant manager to earn a portion of a bonus pool by
achieving certain predetermined performance goals. During Fiscal 1995, the
Company's turnover rates were approximately 55% for restaurant staff and 21%
for restaurant managers, which are significantly below the restaurant
industry averages of 92% for staff employees and 50% for managers (as
reported by the National Restaurant Association).
Roadhouse Grill restaurants generally operate with five managers,
including a general manager, an assistant general manager, a kitchen manager
and two assistant managers. The general manager of each restaurant has
primary responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the
restaurant in accordance with Company standards. The general manager and
kitchen manager of each restaurant generally are responsible for
interviewing, hiring and training restaurant staff. Each restaurant has a
staff of approximately 90 employees, which includes at least one full-time,
in-house butcher. The Company currently employs eight area supervisors, each
of whom is responsible for three to four restaurants. The supervisors report
to regional directors, each of whom has responsibility for four supervisors.
The Company currently has two regional directors, who communicate daily with
the Vice President of Operations.
25
<PAGE>
The Company devotes a significant amount of time and resources to
restaurant management and staff training. Each new manager participates in an
eight-week training program, which is conducted at designated training
restaurants, before assuming an assistant manager position (or, in some
instances, a kitchen manager position) at a Roadhouse Grill restaurant. This
program is designed to provide training in all areas of restaurant
operations, including food preparation and service, alcoholic beverage
service, Company philosophy, operating standards, policies and procedures,
and business management and administration techniques. The managers of the
training restaurant conduct weekly evaluations of each manager trainee.
In connection with the opening of each new restaurant, the Company sends
one of its two full-time, 16-member training teams to train and assist the
new restaurant employees. The training team generally arrives at each
restaurant two weeks prior to opening and remains for four weeks after
opening. Typically, the top three managers (the general manager, the
assistant general manager and the kitchen manager) of each new restaurant are
individuals who have been managers at an existing Roadhouse Grill restaurant.
INTERNAL CONTROLS; RESTAURANT REPORTING. The Company maintains financial
and accounting controls for each of its restaurants through the use of
centralized accounting and management information systems. The Company uses a
computerized point-of-sale system to collect sales information from each
restaurant, and restaurant managers are provided access to the operating
statements for their restaurants.
PURCHASING. Roadhouse Grill operates a centralized purchasing system that
is utilized by all restaurants operated by the Company (except those located
in upstate New York). The Company purchased approximately 87% of its food and
other products from two distributors during Fiscal 1995. Beginning August 5,
1996, the Company began doing business with only one of these two principal
distributors and anticipates that approximately 80% of its food and other
products will be purchased from that distributor. See "Risk Factors--Changes
in Food and Other Costs; Supply Risks."
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING
The Company attempts to build brand awareness by providing a distinctive
dining experience that results in a significant number of new customers being
attracted through word of mouth, as well as by traditional marketing efforts
and promotional activities. The Company believes that clustering multiple
restaurants in target markets will help build brand awareness and increase
efficiencies in its marketing efforts. The Company's marketing efforts are
centered around print media and radio advertisements using the voice of
"Cowboy Jim," the Company's mascot, and, to a lesser extent, the use of
outdoor billboards. The Company also markets at the restaurant level through
sponsorship of community charity activities, sporting events, festivals and
Chamber of Commerce events. Prior to opening a restaurant, the Company
typically conducts a six-week print and radio advertising campaign and holds
a "VIP Night" at which city officials, Chamber of Commerce members, police,
fire and rescue personnel, local business people, area media and others are
invited to have "dinner on the Roadhouse." At certain restaurants, the
Company also is test marketing t-shirts and other merchandise bearing the
Roadhouse Grill name and logo to increase the Company's brand recognition.
During the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, the Company
spent approximately 3.9% of its revenues on advertising and marketing
activities.
FRANCHISING
The Company has granted franchise rights to the Roadhouse Grill concept in
Asia and the Pacific Rim and in certain limited geographic areas in the
United States. Pursuant to its expansion strategy, the Company expects to
concentrate its future franchising activity in Asia and the Pacific Rim
through its international franchisees, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and
Roadhouse Grill Asia. Although the Company's United States franchisees may
open a limited number of additional franchised restaurants in their
respective territories, the Company does not intend to grant additional
franchise rights in the
26
<PAGE>
United States, other than any rights that may be granted to the licensee of
the Gresham, Oregon and San Diego, California Roadhouse Grill restaurants.
See "--Domestic Franchising."
INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING. In January 1996, the Company entered into a
Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong, which provides
for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong
Kong. Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to
develop any specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but any restaurants
that it develops are credited against the development obligations of
Roadhouse Grill Asia under Roadhouse Grill Asia's Master Development
Agreement with the Company. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to pay
any franchise or reservation fee for restaurants that it develops, but it is
responsible for paying or reimbursing approved expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with the opening of each restaurant. In addition,
Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is required to pay a royalty in connection with the
operation of each of its restaurants in the amount of 2.0% of gross sales for
each restaurant's first three years of operation and 3.0% thereafter. Under
certain circumstances, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong or the Company may grant
franchises to third parties in Hong Kong. In that event, the Company is
entitled to receive 50% of any franchise and reservation fees and 50% of any
royalty fee payable by the third party franchisee, subject to limitations on
the amounts payable to the Company of $10,000 per restaurant in the case of
franchise and reservations fees and 2.5% of gross sales in the case of
royalty fees.
In January 1996, the Company also entered into a Master Development
Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia which covers countries in Asia and the
Pacific Rim (other than Hong Kong), including, but not limited to, Australia,
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, North Korea, South
Korea, The Philippines and Thailand. Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill
Asia is required to open and maintain at least 30 Roadhouse Grill Restaurants
during the first ten years of the term of the agreement, with a minimum of
two restaurants to be developed each year. Under certain circumstances,
Roadhouse Grill Asia or the Company may grant franchises to third parties in
the territory. The fee arrangements under the agreement are substantially the
same as those under the agreement between the Company and Roadhouse Grill
Hong Kong. See "Certain Transactions."
DOMESTIC FRANCHISING. The Company has entered into franchise or license
arrangements for the development and operation of Roadhouse Grill restaurants
in Gresham, Oregon, Boca Raton, Florida, San Diego, California, Clark County,
Nevada and the Greater Delaware Valley Region of Pennsylvania. The Gresham
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since January 1993; the Boca Raton
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since December 1994; the San Diego
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since January 1996; the Nevada
franchisee commenced construction of its first restaurant in July 1996; and
the Pennsylvania franchisee is currently evaluating sites for its restaurant.
The Company is currently in negotiations with one of its licensees regarding
exclusive development rights relating to additional Roadhouse Grill
restaurants in a limited number of states in the western United States. There
can be no assurance that an agreement on the terms currently being discussed
will be reached or that an agreement will be reached at all.
COMPETITION; RESTAURANT INDUSTRY
The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a
broad range of restaurants, including national and regional casual dining
chains as well as locally-owned restaurants, some of which operate with
concepts similar to that of the Company. Many of the Company's competitors
are well established and have substantially greater market presence and
financial and other resources than the Company. The entrance of new
competitors into the Company's market areas or the expansion of operations by
existing competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company
competes with other restaurant companies and retailers for sites, labor and,
in many cases, customers. The Company believes that the key competitive
factors in the restaurant industry are quality of food and service, price,
location and concept. To the extent that one or more of its competitors
becomes more successful in respect of any key competitive factors, the
Company's business could be adversely affected. See "Risk Factors--
Competition."
27
<PAGE>
The restaurant industry is affected by changes in consumer tastes as well
as national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends,
traffic patterns, and the type, number and location of competing restaurants.
Dependence on fresh meats and produce also subjects restaurant companies to
the risk that shortages or interruptions of supply could adversely affect the
availability, quality or cost of ingredients. In addition, factors such as
inflation, increased food, labor and employee benefit costs and the
availability of qualified management and hourly employees also may adversely
affect the restaurant industry generally and the Company's restaurants in
particular. The success and future profitability of the Company will depend
in part on its ability to identify and to respond appropriately to changing
conditions within the restaurant industry. See "Risk Factors--Restaurant
Industry."
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Each Roadhouse Grill restaurant is subject to numerous federal, state and
local laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to the
preparation, sale and service of food and alcoholic beverages, designation of
non-smoking and smoking areas, accessibility of restaurants to disabled
customers, development and construction of restaurants and environmental
matters. Roadhouse Grill also is subject to laws governing its relationship
with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working
conditions and immigration requirements. Difficulties or failures in
obtaining the required construction and operating licenses, permits or
approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant. Roadhouse
Grill believes that it is operating in compliance in all material respects
with applicable laws and regulations that govern its operations. See "Risk
Factors--Government Regulation."
Alcoholic beverage control regulations require each Roadhouse Grill
restaurant to apply to a state authority and, in certain locations, county or
municipal authorities for a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages on
the premises and to provide service for extended hours. Typically, licenses
must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any
time. If a liquor license for any restaurant were lost, revenues for that
restaurant would be adversely affected. Alcoholic beverage control
regulations relate to numerous aspects of the Company's restaurants,
including minimum age of patrons consuming and employees serving alcoholic
beverages, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory
control, and handling, storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. The
Company is also subject to "dram-shop" statutes which generally provide a
person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an
establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated
person. The Company carries liquor liability coverage as part of its existing
comprehensive general liability insurance.
In connection with its sale of franchises, the Company is subject to the
United States Federal Trade Commission rules and regulations and state laws
that regulate the offer and sale of franchises. The Company also is subject
to laws that regulate certain aspects of the franchise relationship.
The Company is subject to various local, state and federal laws regulating
the discharge of pollutants into the environment. The Company believes that
its operations are in compliance in all material respects with applicable
environmental laws and regulations. The Company conducts environmental audits
of a proposed restaurant site in order to determine whether there is any
evidence of contamination prior to purchasing or entering into a lease with
respect to the site. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
not incur material environmental liability in connection with any of its
owned or leased properties.
EMPLOYEES
At September 25, 1996, the Company employed 283 salaried employees, of
whom 29 served in corporate and administrative capacities and 254 served as
restaurant management personnel. In addition, the Company employed 3,195
persons on an hourly basis. None of the Company's employees is covered by a
collective bargaining agreement, and the Company has never experienced an
organized work stoppage, strike or labor dispute. The Company believes its
relations with its employees are good.
28
<PAGE>
TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND TRADE DRESS
Roadhouse Grill believes its trademarks, service marks and trade dress are
important to its marketing efforts. Roadhouse Grill has registered the
"Roadhouse Grill" service mark, the "Cowboy Jim and rocking chair" design and
the slogan "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse Style" with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office. The Company also has applied for registration of
the "Roadhouse Grill" service mark in approximately 30 foreign countries,
including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, The Philippines, South Africa, Spain,
Thailand and the United Kingdom.
LITIGATION
The Company is party to certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of the Company, any resulting liability
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

both cash and property.
In addition to options that have been granted under the 1994 Stock Option
Plan, the company has granted an option outside of the 1994 Stock Option Plan
to J. David Toole, III pursuant to which Mr. Toole may acquire up to 166,667
shares of the Company's Common Stock. Such options may be exercised at a
price of $7.50 per share and have an expiration date of January 31, 2010.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the
company is obligated to indemnify each of its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by Florida law with respect to all liability and
loss suffered, and reasonable expense incurred, by such person in any action,
suit or proceeding in which such person was or is made or threatened to be
made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer of the Company. The Company is also obligated
to pay the reasonable expenses of indemnified directors or officers in
defending such proceedings if the indemnified party agrees to repay all
amounts advanced should it be ultimately determined that such person is not
entitled to indemnification.
The Company maintains an insurance policy covering directors and officers
under which the insurer agrees to pay, subject to certain exclusions, for any
claim made against the directors and officers of the Company for a wrongful
act for which they may become legally obligated to pay or for which the
Company is required to indemnify its directors or officers.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
The Company and John David Toole, III have entered into an employment
agreement providing for Mr. Toole's employment as President of the Company
through September 30, 1997. The agreement provides for an annual base salary
of $120,000 and an annual bonus based on performance of the Company and
certain of the Company's restaurants. The agreement provides that Mr. Toole
will not compete with the Company for three years after termination of his
employment. The Company and Mr. Toole are currently negotiating the terms of
an amended employment agreement which would extend the term of Mr. Toole's
employment through December 31, 1999, increase Mr. Toole's annual base salary
to $200,000 and modify the terms of Mr. Toole's annual bonus. Under the
amended agreement, Mr. Toole would be entitled to an annual bonus of
$100,000, payable within ninety days after Fiscal 1996 and after each fiscal
year of the Company if the Company's net income before taxes for such fiscal
year exceeded the net income before taxes for the preceeding fiscal year. In
addition, the amended agreement would provide for the grant of certain
options to purchase Common Stock to Mr. Toole on an annual basis.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During Fiscal 1995, the Company had no Compensation Committee or other
committee of the Board of Directors performing similar functions. Decisions
concerning the compensation of executive officers were made by the full Board
of Directors. In January 1996, the Board of Directors established a
Compensation Committee.
In Fiscal 1995, the Company obtained loans in the aggregate amount of
approximately $2.5 million from John Y. Brown, Jr. During Fiscal 1995, Mr.
Brown was the former chairman of the board of
33
<PAGE>
Directors of the company and was a shareholder. In January 1996, these loans
were consolidated and extended under the Company's unsecured promissory note
dated January 15, 1996, in the principal amount of $2.5 million, bearing
interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on which
are due and payable in full upon the closing, and from the proceeds, of the
Offering. The funds obtained by the Company from such loan were used to
finance the opening of new restaurants. The loan was initially unsecured but
in July 1996 was cross-collateralized by the lien granted on the additional
$1.5 million loan described in the next paragraph.
In July 1996, the company borrowed an additional $1.5 million from Mr.
Brown under the Company's secured promissory note dated July 12, 1996,
bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on
which were paid on August 19, 1996 from a portion of the proceeds of the
Company's $2.0 million loan from Berjaya described below. The loan, the
proceeds of which were used to finance the opening of new restaurants, was
secured by a lien on all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment located in
the Company's restaurants on July 12, 1996 that had not been previously
pledged to a third party. Following the repayment of this loan, the Company
in September 1996 obtained a new loan from Mr. Brown in the amount of $1.5
million, which was secured by the same collateral as the July 1996 note and
which is evidenced by the Company's promissory note dated September 5, 1996,
bearing interest at 5.0% per annum and payable in full upon the closing of
the Offering. The proceeds of this loan were used for general corporate
purposes, including opening new restaurants.
In July 1996, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Cupertino, a shareholder
of the Company, under the Company's unsecured promissory note dated July 15,
1996, bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued
interest on which were paid on August 19, 1996. The proceeds of this loan
were used to finance the opening of new restaurants. Dr. Christian F. Horn,
the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the Managing
Partner of Horn Ventures Partners II, L.P., which is a General Partner of
Cupertino.
In August 1996, the Company borrowed $2.0 million from Berjaya, its
principal shareholder, under an unsecured promissory note dated August 16,
1996, bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued
interest on which are due and payable in full upon the closing of the
Offering. The proceeds of this loan were used to repay the July 1996 $1.5
million loan from Mr. Brown and the $500,000 loan from Cupertino described
above. In September 1996, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from Berjaya, its
principal shareholder, under an unsecured promissory note dated September 27,
1996, bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued
interest on which are due and payable in full upon the closing of the
offering. The proceeds of this loan were used for general corporate purposes,
including opening new restaurants. Tan Kim Poh, a director of the Company, is
Group Executive Director of Berjaya Berhad, which directly or indirectly owns
Berjaya.
Berjaya directly or indirectly owns Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and
Roadhouse Grill Asia. In January 1996, the Company entered into a Master
Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong which provides for the
development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong.
Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to develop any
specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but any restaurants that it
develops are credited against the development obligations of Roadhouse Grill
Asia under Roadhouse Grill Asia's Master Development Agreement with the
Company. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to pay any franchise or
reservation fee for restaurants that it develops, but it is responsible for
paying or reimbursing approved expenses incurred by the Company in connection
with the opening of each restaurant. In addition, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong
is required to pay a royalty in connection with the operation of each of its
restaurants in the amount of 2.0% of gross sales for each restaurant's first
three years of operation and 3.0% thereafter. Under certain circumstances,
Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong or the Company may grant franchises to third
parties in Hong Kong. In that event, the Company is entitled to receive 50%
of any franchise and reservation fees and 50% of any royalty fee payable by
the third party franchisee, subject to limitations on the amounts payable to
the Company of $10,000 per restaurant in the case of franchise and
reservations fees and 2.5% of gross sales in the case of royalty fees.

In January 1996, the company also entered into a Master Development
Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia, which covers countries in Asia and the
Pacific Rim (other than Hong Kong), including, but not limited to, Australia,
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, North Korea, South
Korea, The Philippines and Thailand. Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill
Asia is required to open and maintain at least 30 Roadhouse Grill Restaurants
during the first ten years of the term of the agreement, with a minimum of
two restaurants to be developed each year. Under certain circumstances,
Roadhouse Grill Asia or the Company may grant franchises to third parties in
the territory. The fee arrangements under the agreement are substantially the
same as those under the agreement between the Company and Roadhouse Grill
Hong Kong. See "Certain Transactions."
The obligations of the original tenant, New York Roasters, Inc., Under the
leases for the sites covering the Company's two restaurants in Buffalo, New
York were assumed by the Company in December 1995. At the time of such
assumptions, Mr. Brown was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
and also President of Roasters Corp. New York Roasters, Inc. was a former
franchisee of Roasters Corp. Except for the franchise relationship, neither
Mr. Brown nor Roasters Corp. had, or currently has, any financial or other
interest in New York Roasters, Inc.
Dr. Christian F. Horn, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of fhe
Company, is a director of Buffets, Inc. A subsidiary of Buffets, Inc. is the
licensee of the Company in the operation of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in
Gresham, Oregon and San Diego, California, and is presently negotiating with
the Company for the development of additional Roadhouse Grill restaurants.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 30 million shares of Common Stock, par
value $.03 per share, and 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value
$.01 per share. As of October 1, 1996, the Company had issued and outstanding
4,747,386 shares of Common Stock, 3,422,500 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and 2,333,350 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). As of September 25,
1996, the Company had four holders of record of Common Stock, seven holders
of record of Series A Preferred Stock and six holders of record of Series B
Preferred Stock, respectively.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Cumulative voting in the
election of directors is not permitted and the holders of a majority of the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote in any
election of directors and may elect all of the directors standing for
election.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if
any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of
outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the
net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts and other
liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred
Stock. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are,
and the shares offered by the Company in this Offering, will be, when issued
and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company currently has issued and outstanding an aggregate of 3,422,500
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,333,350 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock. Upon the closing of the Offering, all Issued Preferred Stock will be
converted automatically into an aggregate of 1,918,616 shares of Common
Stock.
After the Offering, the Company will have authorized 10,000,000 shares of
undesignated Preferred Stock, 4,124,975 of which will be available for
issuance. The Board of Directors is empowered by the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or
series of such Preferred Stock without shareholder approval. The Board of
Directors may fix and determine the relative rights, preferences and
privileges of each class or series of Preferred Stock so issued. Because the
Board of Directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of
each class or series of Preferred Stock, it may afford the holders of any
series or class of Preferred Stock preferences, powers and rights, with
respect to voting, liquidation or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders
of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Board of
Directors has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FLORIDA LAW
Florida law provides that, unless the corporation has elected to opt out
of such provisions in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, a public
corporation organized under Florida law is subject to certain statutory
provisions that may have anti-takeover effects and that require special
approvals for certain "affiliated transactions." These provisions, which are
contained in the Florida Business Corporation Act, require, subject to
certain exceptions, that an "affiliated transaction" be approved by the
holders of two-thirds of the voting shares other than those beneficially
owned by an "interested shareholder" or by a majority of disinterested
directors and that voting rights be conferred on "control shares" acquired in
specified control share acquisitions generally only to the extent conferred by
37
<PAGE>
resolution approved by the shareholders, excluding holders of shares defined
as "interested shares." The Company has elected to opt out of the
"control-share" acquisition provisions, but has not elected to opt out of the
affiliated transactions provisions. In addition, Florida law presently limits
the personal liability of a corporate director for monetary damages, except
where the director (i) breaches his or her fiduciary duties and (ii) such
breach constitutes or includes certain unlawful distributions or certain
other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct.
RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL
Berjaya and several other existing shareholders of the Company are
entitled to certain rights of first refusal with respect to the issuance of
equity securities of the Company, other than shares issued in connection with
an underwritten public offering .
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
In connection with the private placement of its Common Stock and Issued
Preferred Stock, the Company has granted certain registration rights to
certain holders of its Issued Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Company
will have ongoing obligations with respect to those registration rights. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale--Registration Rights."
TRADING MARKET AND TRANSFER AGENT
No established trading market for the Common Stock existed prior to the
Offering. An application has been made for the Common Stock to be designated
on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "GRLL." The transfer agent for
the Common Stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and its address
is 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
GENERAL
Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
9,166,002 shares of Common Stock (assuming no exercise of outstanding options
to purchase shares of Common Stock). Of these shares, the 2,500,000 shares of
Common Stock sold in the Offering will be freely tradeable without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any
of such shares held by "affiliates" (as defined under the Securities Act) of
the Company, which may generally only be sold in compliance with the
applicable provisions of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act ("Rule
144"). The holders of the remaining 6,666,002 shares (the "Restricted
Shares") will be entitled to sell their shares in the public securities
market only if registered under the Securities Act or if sold in accordance
with an applicable exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Rule 701
promulgated under the Securities Act.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate of the Company, who has
beneficially owned Restricted Shares for at least two years is entitled to
sell, within any three-month period, up to the number of Restricted Shares
that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock (approximately 91,660 shares immediately after the
Offering); or (ii) the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar
weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Sales under Rule 144
are subject to certain restrictions relating to manner of sale, volume of
sales and the availability of current public information about the Company.
4,161,074 of the Restricted Shares will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule
144, subject to these restrictions, beginning 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus, and 2,504,928 shares will become eligible for sale subject to
certain restrictions at various times between May 1997 and May 1998.
38
<PAGE>
Further, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed
to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months
immediately preceding the sale is entitled to sell Restricted Shares pursuant
to rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, current public
information or manner of sale requirements of Rule 144, provided that at
least three years have expired since the later of the date on which the
Restricted Shares were acquired from the Company or the date they were
acquired from an affiliate of the Company. Currently none of the Restricted
Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k). In addition to the
foregoing, affiliates of the Company must comply with the restrictions and
requirements of Rule 144 (other than the holding period requirement) in order
to sell any Common Stock they own that does not constitute Restricted Shares.
See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
An employee, officer or director of, or consultant to, the Company who
purchased his or her shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or
contract is entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the
Securities Act of 1933, which permits non-affiliates to sell their Rule 701
Shares without having to comply with the public information, holding period,
volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144 and permits affiliates to
sell their Rule 701 shares without having to comply with Rule 144's holding
period requirements, in each cash commencing 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus.
The Company, its officers and directors and shareholders have agreed that
they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company that are substantially similar to the shares, including but not
limited to any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or
that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock or any such
substantially similar securities, for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives,
except that the Company may issue shares pursuant to the over-allotment
option.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock, and
there can be no assurance that an active public market will develop or
continue after the Offering. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in
the public market, or the perception that sales may occur, could adversely
affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock or the ability of the
Company to raise capital through a public offering of its equity securities.
See "Risk Factors--Absence of Public Market; Price Volatility."
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Pursuant to certain registration rights agreements, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock have certain demand
registration rights with respect to the 1,918,616 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of such Series A and B Preferred Stock and certain
holders of Common Stock have certain demand registration rights with respect
to 4,605,719 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Subject Shares"). The
demand registration rights, which require the Company to use its best efforts
to effect the registration of the Subject Shares under the Securities Acts
may be exercised by the holders of at least 50% of the Subject Shares after
February 10, 1997, subject to limited exceptions. The Company is obligated to
register Subject Shares pursuant to this demand registration right on two
occasions only; provided, however, that the Company's obligation is deemed
satisfied only when a registration statement covering at least 75% of the
Subject Shares has become effective and, if the shares are to be sold in a
firm commitment underwritten public offering, all of such shares have been
sold pursuant to such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of
Subject Shares have unlimited demand registration rights to the extent the
Company may register Subject Shares on Form S-3 or any successor thereto,
provided that the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of the
offering would exceed $500,000. The Company also is obligated to offer the
holders of Subject Shares the right to register their shares pursuant to
certain registration statements filed by the Company.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the holders of the Subject Shares for
certain liabilities under applicable state and federal securities laws in
connection with any offering pursuant to the
39
<PAGE>
exercise of registration rights. The Company will not indemnify the holders
of Subject Shares for any liabilities resulting from information furnished in
writing by such holders. Except in certain limited circumstances, the Company
is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to a demand registration,
excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO 1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has reserved 216,667 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
the 1994 Stock Option Plan, and options for an aggregate of 181,103 shares of
Common Stock are currently outstanding thereunder. The Company intends to
file a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1994 Stock Option Plan. Such
registration statement is expected to be filed soon after the date of this
Prospectus and will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly,

restrictions with the Company or the contractual restrictions described
above. See "Management--1994 Stock Option Plan."

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the Common Stock being sold
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any is purchased (excluding shares
covered by the over-allotment option granted therein). In the event of a
default by any Underwriter, the Purchase Agreement provides that, in certain
circumstances, purchase commitments of the nondefaulting Underwriters may be
increased or the Purchase Agreement may be terminated.
The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose
to offer the Common Stock directly to the public initially at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain
dealers at such price less a concession of not more than $ per share.
Additionally, the Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
concession not in excess of $ per share to certain other dealers. After
the Offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may be
changed by the Underwriters.
Of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the Company, up
to 250,000 of such shares will be reserved for sale to persons designated by
the Company. There can be no assurance that such shares will be purchased by
these persons. Shares not so purchased will be reoffered immediately by the
Underwriters to the public at the initial public offering price.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable by the
Representatives within 30 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, to
purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of Common Stock at the same price
per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the other shares offered hereby.
If the Underwriters purchase any of such additional shares pursuant to this
option, each Underwriter will be committed to purchase such additional shares
in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above. The
Underwriters may exercise the option only for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the distribution of the
Common Stock offered hereby.
The Representatives have informed the Company that neither they, nor any
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD")
participating in the distribution of the Offering, will make sales of the
Common Stock offered hereby to accounts over which they exercise
discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the
customer.
The Offering of the shares of Common Stock is made for delivery when, as
and if accepted by the Underwriters and subject to prior sale and to
withdrawal, cancellation or modification of the Offering without notice. The
Underwriters reserve the right to reject an order for the purchase of shares
in whole or in part.

beneficially own in the aggregate 6,666,002 shares of Common Stock after the
Offering, have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Company that are substantially similar to
the shares, including but not limited to any securities that are convertible
into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of
Common Stock or any such substantially similar securities, owned by them
prior to the date of the Prospectus for a period of 180 days after the date
of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of Piper Jaffray Inc.
The Company has agreed that it will not, without the Representatives' prior
written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose
of any shares of Common Stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of
Common Stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of
Common Stock during the 180-day period following the date of this Prospectus,
except that the Company may issue shares upon the exercise of options and
warrants granted prior to the date hereof, and may grant additional options
under the 1994 Stock Option Plan.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price for the Common Stock offered hereby
has been determined by negotiation among the Company and the Representatives.
Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price
were prevailing market and economic conditions, the Company's revenue and
earnings, estimates of the business potential and prospects of the Company,
the present state of the Company's business operations, an assessment of the
Company's management and the consideration of the above factors in relation
to the market valuations of companies in similar businesses. The initial
public offering price for the Common Stock should not be considered an
indication of the actual value of the Common Stock offered hereby. In
addition, there can be no assurance that the Common Stock can be resold at a
price equal to or greater than the initial public offering price. See "Risk
Factors--Absence of Public Market; Price Volatility."
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and their controlling
persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required
to make in respect thereof.

The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for the Company by Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A.,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the
Company by Locke Purnell Rain Harrell (A Professional Corporation), Dallas,

ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 2, 1994, JANUARY 1, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND
JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) 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 located primarily in the state of Florida.
The Company has also granted franchises and licenses to operate restaurants
under the "Roadhouse Grill" name.
At December 31, 1995, there were 18 company-owned restaurants open. There
were two restaurants operating under franchise agreements and one restaurant
operating under a license agreement. In addition, at December 31, 1995, the
Company had a 50 percent interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C., a limited
liability company that owns the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant
("Kendall"). The Company manages the operations of the Kendall restaurant
pursuant to an operating agreement. Under the operating agreement, the
Company receives management fees and is allocated its share of the
restaurant's profit and losses. The Company previously had a 50 percent
interest in North Miami Roadhouse Grill, L.C., a limited liability company
that owned the North Miami Roadhouse Grill restaurant ("North Miami"), under
a similar arrangement. The remaining interest was acquired by the Company in
the first quarter of 1995.
(B) INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
The Company's 50 percent interest in Kendall is accounted for under the
equity method. In addition, the Company's 50 percent interest in North Miami
was accounted for under the equity method until the Company acquired a 100%
interest in that restaurant, which occurred in the first quarter of 1995.
(C) 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
charged to expense 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.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of capitalized lease
assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the leased asset or the lease term.
(D) INTANGIBLES
Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill recorded as a result of a
restaurant acquisition during 1995 (see Note 14) and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 17 years, which is the lease term of the respective
restaurant property. The Company evaluates whether changes have occurred that
would require

(CONTINUED)
revision of the remaining estimated useful life of the assigned goodwill or
rendered goodwill not recoverable. If such circumstances arise, the Company
uses undiscounted future cash flows to determine whether the goodwill is
recoverable. In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of," (see Note 1m).
(E) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(F) INVENTORY
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (based on first-in, first-out
inventory costing) or net realizable value and consist primarily of
restaurant food items, beverages and paper supplies.
(G) INCOME TAXES
Prior to January 1994, the Company had elected to be treated as a S
Corporation under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code and,
accordingly, was not subject to federal and state income taxes. Instead, the
Company's taxable income or loss and available credits were the
responsibility of the Company's shareholders.
Effective January 1994, the Company terminated its S Corporation status
and consequently, became subject to federal and state income taxes. Upon
termination of the Company's S Corporation status, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," which requires the utilization of the liability method of
accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates
in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
(H) PRE-OPENING COSTS
Pre-opening costs are costs incurred in the opening of new stores
(primarily payroll costs) which are capitalized prior to the opening of a new
restaurant and amortized over a one-year period commencing with the first
period after the new restaurant opens.
Deferred costs related to sites subsequently determined to be
unsatisfactory, and general site selection costs which cannot be identified
with a specific restaurant, are charged to operations.
(I) FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31.
(J) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

(CONTINUED)
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 could differ from those
estimates.
(K) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined
based on available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The
carrying amounts of 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 fair value of long-term debt
at December 31, 1995 is approximately $6,240,000.
The fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value at January 1,
1995.
(L) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Total revenues include sales at Company-operated restaurants, royalties
received from restaurants operating under franchise and license agreements,
and fees earned under management agreements.
(M) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS No.
121), which becomes effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangible assets and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used,
and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be
disposed of. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 121 and as of January 1, 1996
and June 30, 1996, there is no material impact to the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123),
which becomes effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of
accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and
encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their
employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to
continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic
value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The
Company is currently accounting for stock-based compensation under APB 25 and
has opted to continue accounting for stock-based compensation under this
method.
(N) ADVERTISING COSTS
During 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on
Advertising Costs" (SOP 93-7). The adoption of SOP 93-7 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company
expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the fiscal
years ending January 2, 1994, January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995 amounted to
approximately $106,000, $414,000 and $1,273,000, respectively.
(O) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE AND PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share for all periods is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus all common shares, stock options and
warrants issued within one year prior to

initial public offering. Common stock equivalents prior to such period are
included in the determination of loss per share only where such inclusion is
dilutive.
Pro forma net loss per common share includes the conversion of all
outstanding preferred shares into common shares in connection with the
initial public offering (unaudited).
On October 9, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-three
reverse stock split (see Note 9). All per share data appearing in the
financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse split.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.

value per share.
In 1994, the Company declared a stock split whereby 12,888.88 shares of
the Company's common stock were issued for each share of common stock issued

(10) STOCK OPTION PLANS

president and chief executive officer to purchase 355,555 shares of the
authorized, but unissued shares of common stock at a purchase price of $.15
per share in connection with the founding of the Company. An additional
500,000 options were issued to the Chief Executive Officer at $2.50 per share
during the fiscal year ended January 1, 1995. These options are exercisable
at any time prior to January 31, 2010. During the fiscal year ending December
31, 1995, certain of these options were exercised whereby 355,555 shares of
common stock were purchased at $0.15 per share.
A stock option plan was adopted for employees of the Company and members of
the board of directors who are not employees, and 250,000 and 650,000 shares of
the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to such plan at
December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. These options are exercisable
for a period of ten years after grant. On April 25, 1994, options were issued to
a consultant of the Company to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at a
purchase price of $1.50 per share. During the fiscal year ending December 31,
1995, the Company granted options to employees under the stock option plan to

(10) STOCK OPTION PLANS--(CONTINUED)
issuance of these options, as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, was $3.10 per share. In connection with the granting of these options,
the Company has recorded $39,600 in compensation expense. In 1996, the Company
granted additional options to purchase 355,300 shares of common stock at a price
of $3.60 per share. At December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, deferred
compensation expense amounted to $79,200 and $59,400, respectively, and is
included in additional paid-in capital.
As discussed in note 9, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-three
reverse stock split in October 1996. Concurrent with the reverse split, the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of each outstanding option will
be adjusted for the one-for-three reverse split and the exercise price of
each outstanding option will be adjusted such that the total amount paid upon
exercise of the option in full will not change.
(11) INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, effective January 3, 1994, the date it
converted from an S Corporation to a C corporation. The effect of adopting
SFAS No. 109 was not significant.
As a result of the Company's net operating losses for fiscal years ended
January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995, there is no income tax payable.
The tax effects of the temporary differences comprising deferred tax
assets and liabilities are as follows:

============= ===============
</TABLE>
At January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995, the Company had no deferred tax
assets or liabilities reflected on its financial statements since the net
deferred tax assets are completely offset by a valuation allowance. In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the level of historical income, scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.

JANUARY 2, 1994, JANUARY 1, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND
JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(11) INCOME TAXES--(CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1995, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
$5,945,000 consisting of $2,515,000 and $3,430,000 expiring in varying
amounts through 2010 and 2011, respectively.
(12) CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in bank and
investment custodian accounts. At times, the Company maintains cash balances
in excess of insured limits. The custodian of the investment account is a
major financial institution.
Approximately 82 percent of the restaurants currently owned and operated
by the Company are located in the state of Florida. Consequently, the
operations of the Company are affected by fluctuations in the Florida
economy. Furthermore, the Company may be affected by changing conditions
within the foodservice industry.
(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business, many of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of
management, disposition of these matters will not materially affect the
Company's financial condition.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had 13 restaurants under development. The
estimated cost to complete these restaurants and other capital projects in
process was approximately $10,600,000 at June 30, 1996.
(14) ACQUISITIONS
At January 1, 1995, the Company was a 50 percent owner in North Miami
Roadhouse Grill, L.C. ("NMRG"), which owned the North Miami, Florida Roadhouse
Grill restaurant. In January 1995, the Company acquired the remaining 50 percent
interest in NMRG for $800,000. The transaction was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated based on the
fair value of the assets acquired at the time of acquisition. Approximately
$797,000 was allocated to property and equipment and approximately $65,000 was
allocated to inventory and other assets. In connection with the acquisition, the
Company also assumed certain liabilities in the amount of $385,000.
During March 1995, the Company acquired two Roadhouse Grill restaurants
from a franchisee for $2.2 million. The transaction was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of the restaurants was
allocated to property and equipment based on the estimated fair value of the
assets at the date of acquisition. Approximately $1,555,000 was allocated to
property and equipment as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition
generated goodwill of approximately $645,000.

The Company's proforma revenue, net loss, and net loss per share as if the

The proforma information includes adjustments for amortization of intangibles
arising from the transactions. Such proforma amounts are not necessarily

acquisitions had been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1994.
In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the
remaining 50 percent interest in the Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. from the
joint venture partner for a purchase price of $2,300,000. If an initial
public offering is not completed by the Company by December 31, 1996, either
party may terminate the agreement without any further rights or obligations.

HOWDY FOLKS!
My name is COWBOY JIM /registered mark/ and I'm gonna' tell you a
little story 'bout how the south was won...Won over to the finest
steaks, chicken, burgers, ribs and seafood ever served up in these
here parts. Of course, the Roadhouse Grill didn't just spring up
overnight...it took a lot of good friendly hardworking folks to make
up the "house" we call home.
"Southern hospitality with a smile, there's just no substitute!"
That's what my grandaddy used to say.
So, here at the Roadhouse Grill that's exactly what we believe and if
you don't see it, hear it, and feel it, then jump up and say so!
'Cause we pride ourselves on being different.
Some of our neighbors near and far have tried to move in on our
territory, but we both know there's nothing like coming home and
there's nobody like the "original" Roadhouse Grill. A lot of folks
think we're pretty special 'round here and you know what? We are
'cause you make us that way!
So hitch up your family and head down the trail (just follow the
peanut shells) 'cause we're settlin' in all over southeast... and
movin' into the rest of the country too! The Roadhouse Grill...it's
an old fashioned road house built for good food and friendly folks!

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act permits, and, in
certain cases, requires, a corporation to indemnify certain persons,
including officers and directors and former officers and directors, and to
purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or
status as officers and directors. Such law provides further that the
indemnification permitted thereunder will not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which officers and directors may be entitled under the
corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, any agreement or otherwise.
In addition, Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act
presently limits the personal liability of a director for monetary damages,
except where the director (i) breaches his or her fiduciary duties and (ii)
such breach constitutes or includes certain unlawful distributions or certain
other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct.
Paragraph 10 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of
the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company, to the fullest extent
permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act, shall indemnify any person
made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or suit because he or
she was or is a director or officer of the Company or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation.
Paragraph 10 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of the
Company's Bylaws, which will be filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively,
to this Registration Statement, will be incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to maintain liability insurance for the benefit of its
directors and officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to provide the representative of
the Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required
by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
The Company hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
