Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note A
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of BFX
Hospitality Group, Inc. (the Company), as of March 31, 1998, the results of its
operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and
its cash flows for the six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1
to the Company's financial statements in the 1997 BFX Hospitality Group, Inc.
Form 10-K.
Note B
The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.
Note C
During the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This
statement requires interim and annual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share ("EPS") by all entities that have issued common stock or potential
common stock if those securities are traded in a public market. The objective of
basic and diluted EPS is to measure the performance of an entity over the
reporting period while giving effect to the dilutive potential of all common
shares that were outstanding during the period. This statement also requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
EPS data for the period ended March 31, 1998 and all prior periods have been
restated to conform with the provisions of this statement.
Note D
During 1992, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
issued a Record of Decision (ROD) with respect to the Company's Superfund Site
in Vestal, New York. The ROD required the Company to construct a water treatment
facility at the site and to pump contaminated ground water from bedrock and
overburden extraction wells for 15 to 30 years until remediation goals were met.
Due to concerns about the correctness of the remedy provided for in the ROD, the
Company performed additional fieldwork and, in 1995, the EPA agreed the remedy
needed to be modified. After additional discussions with the EPA, a revised ROD
was issued in July 1997. The revised ROD eliminates certain provisions of the
original ROD and primarily includes the removal and treatment of contaminated
soil. The Company is currently negotiating a Consent Decree with the EPA in
regard to the implementation of the remedy and ongoing monitoring of the
property.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
GENERAL INFORMATION
At March 31, 1998, the Company owned and operated food service, lodging
and entertainment facilities in Texas and Louisiana.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements about
the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. The actual
results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements because of various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and
uncertainties may include, but are not limited to regional and national economic
conditions, changes in customer demand for products offered by the Company, and
other matters that may adversely affect the availability of products and
pricing, state and federal regulatory environment, possible future acquisitions
or dispositions, amendments to the Record of Decision issued by the
Environmental Protection Agency (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) and other
risks indicated in the Company's previous filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company cannot control these risks and uncertainties,
and in many cases, cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause
its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for each of the 1997 three and six month periods decreased 10%
due to closing of the food and beverage operations at the Stockyards Hotel
(SYH), due to the construction of the new H3 Ranch Restaurant, scheduled to open
in May 1998. After the restaurant opens (which will replace the previous food
and beverage operations at SYH), revenues should increase over prior levels at
SYH. Future revenues will also be impacted by the opening of the second Cabo
unit in downtown Houston, Texas (opened in April 1998) and the opening of the
third Cabo unit in downtown Fort Worth, Texas (projected to open in July 1998).
Consolidated costs of sales (which consist primarily of food and
beverage costs) during the 1998 three and six month periods versus 1997
decreased 11% and 12%, respectively. As a percent of related revenue, these
costs were 20% during the 1998 three month period versus 21% a year earlier. For
the six month period, the costs were 21% versus 22% a year earlier. The decrease
in absolute dollars was due to decreased sales and the decrease in costs as a
percent of revenue is due to increased operating efficiencies.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1998
three and six month period increased 16% and 11%, respectively, compared to
1997. The primary reason for the increase was the additional expenses incurred
as a result of the April 1997 acquisition of Hotels of Distinction and expenses
incurred with the opening of new restaurants. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
The increase in interest income to $173,000 for the 1998 three month
period from $36,000 in 1997 and the increase to $384,000 for the 1998 six month
period from $69,000 in 1997 is due to the interest income earned on the proceeds
of the Current Technology, Inc. sale.

<PAGE> 9
The decrease in interest expense to $30,000 for the 1998 three month
period from $53,000 in 1997 and to $60,000 for the 1998 six month period from
$108,000 in 1997 is primarily due to the assumption, by the purchaser, of a
$1,169,000 mortgage loan in connection with the sale of a commercial office
building in July 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During 1992, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
issued a Record of Decision (ROD) with respect to the Company's Superfund Site
in Vestal, New York. The ROD required the Company to construct a water treatment
facility at the site and to pump contaminated ground water from bedrock and
overburden extraction wells for 15 to 30 years until remediation goals were met.
Due to concerns about the correctness of the remedy provided for in the ROD, the
Company performed additional fieldwork and, in 1995, the EPA agreed the remedy
needed to be modified. After additional discussions with the EPA, a revised ROD
was issued in July 1997. The revised ROD eliminates certain provisions of the
original ROD and primarily includes the removal and treatment of contaminated
soil. The Company is currently negotiating a Consent Decree with the EPA in
regard to the implementation of the remedy and ongoing monitoring of the
property. At March 31, 1998, the Company has a liability accrued of $3,550,000
for future EPA costs.
In 1997, the Company began construction on a second Cabo unit to be
located in the historical district of downtown Houston, Texas. The unit opened
during April 1998. The Company's third Cabo location is under construction in
Fort Worth, Texas and is projected to open in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
A new restaurant at SYH is under construction and is expected to open during the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. Capital expenditures for these three projects are
expected to approximate $3,500,000, of which approximately $2,500,000 had been
incurred as of March 31, 1998, and are expected to be funded from existing cash
and operating cash flow.
In October 1997, pursuant to the terms of their respective note
agreements, Robert H. McLean, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the
Company and Robert Korman, Chief Financial Officer tendered to the Company
284,430 and 62,825 shares, respectively, of the Company's stock to repay their
loans and to reimburse the Company for certain taxes paid by the Company on
behalf of Mr. McLean and Mr. Korman in the amount of $400,695 and $90,065,
respectively. The shares were tendered on October 8, 1997 at a value of $4.13
per share, which was the closing price per share of the Company's common stock
on that date.
In October 1997, pursuant to the terms of his note agreement, Walter D.
Rogers, a Director of the Company, tendered to the Company 52,045 shares of its
common stock owned by Mr. Rogers in payment of one-half of the principal balance
of the note in the amount of $123,500 and to reimburse the Company for certain
taxes paid by the Company on Mr. Rogers' behalf in the amount of $91,446. Mr.
Rogers tendered the shares on October 8, 1997 at a value of $4.13 per share,
which was the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on that
date. The Company also amended the note as of October 21, 1997, to (i) extend
the due date for the principal sum of $26,500 until February 3, 2000; (ii)
extend the due date for the principal sum of $97,000 until September 6, 2001;
(iii) eliminate any interest charges prior to maturity; and (iv) provide for the
payment of the note by the delivery of shares of the Company's common stock
valued at the greater of book or market value.
