             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      Effective July 1, 1993, Brinker International, Inc. ("the Company")
      adopted a 52 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday in June.  Most
      retailing and restaurant companies operate on an accounting calendar that
      is measured in weeks rather than months.  Thus, a normal fiscal year only
      contains 364 days.  Every fifth or sixth year, lost days are recaptured by
      having a 53 week fiscal year.  This change enhances the Company's ability
      to measure comparative operating results.  The impact of this change was
      not significant.

      The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 29, 1993
      and June 30, 1993 and for the thirteen week period ended December 29, 1993
      and the three month period ended December 31, 1992, and for the twenty-six
      week period ended December 29, 1993 and for the six month period ended
      December 31, 1992 have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules
      and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company
      owns and operates four primary restaurant concepts under the names of
      Chili's Grill & Bar ("Chili's"), Grady's American Grill ("Grady's"),
      Romano's Macaroni Grill ("Macaroni Grill"), and Spageddies Italian Italian
      Food ("Spageddies"). 

      The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of
      normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
      management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the
      respective periods.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
      included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to
      such rules and regulations.  The notes to the condensed consolidated
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
      consolidated financial statements contained in the June 30, 1993 Form 10-
      K.  Company management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for
      interim financial reporting purposes.

2.    Net Income Per Share

      Primary and Fully Diluted Net Income Per Share is based on the weighted
      average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by common
      equivalent shares (stock options) determined using the treasury stock
      method.

3.    Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No.
      109"), Accounting for Income Taxes

      The Company adopted SFAS No. 109 for its fiscal quarter ended
      September 29, 1993, and the impact on the Company's consolidated financial
      statements was not material.

4.    Deferred Costs

      Effective July 1, 1993, the Company prospectively revised its policy for
      capitalizing and amortizing pre-opening costs associated with the opening
      of new restaurant sites.  The amortization period was reduced from 24
      months to 12 months.  Capitalized pre-opening costs include the direct and
      incremental costs typically associated with the opening of a new
      restaurant which primarily consist of costs incurred to develop new
      restaurant management teams, travel and lodging for both the training and
</PAGE>
<PAGE>
      opening unit management teams, and the food, beverage, and supplies costs
      incurred to perform role play testing of all equipment, concept systems,
      and recipes.  The impact of the change in accounting policy did not have
      a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

5.    Business Combinations

      Effective October 7, 1993, the Company acquired the assets of a
      franchisee, which operated four Chili's restaurants in Pennsylvania and
      Ohio, for approximately $8,165,000 in cash.  The acquisition was accounted
      for as a purchase.  Goodwill of approximately $6,941,000 representing the
      excess of cost over the fair value of the assets acquired, was recorded in
      connection with the acquisition and is included in Other Assets.  Goodwill
      is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years.

6.    Subsequent Event

      Effective January 24, 1994, the Company and On The Border Cafes, Inc.
      ("OTB") entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger
      Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire a 100% ownership
      interest in OTB.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a total of
      3,735,419 fully diluted shares of OTB common stock will be exchanged for
      750,000 (approximately 0.2 for 1) shares of Company common stock upon the
      completion of the merger.  The merger ratio is subject to certain
      adjustments depending upon the trading price of the Company's common stock
      at the time of the merger's consummation, anticipated in May 1994.  OTB's
      operations include fourteen company-operated and seven franchised casual
      dining Tex-Mex theme restaurants.  The parties intend that the acquisition
      will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

The Company periodically reevaluates restaurant sites to ensure that site
selection attributes have not deteriorated below the Company's minimum
standards.  In the event site deterioration were to occur, the Company makes
a concerted effort to improve the restaurant's performance via providing
physical, operating, and marketing enhancements unique to each restaurant's
situation.  If internal efforts to restore the restaurant's performance to
acceptable minimum standards are unsuccessful, the Company considers
relocation to a proximate, more desirable site, or evaluates closing the
restaurant if Company criteria such as return on investment and area
demographic data do not support a relocation.  In the second quarter of fiscal
1994, the Company closed two Los Angeles area restaurants which were
performing below Company standards primarily due to declining trading-area
demographics.  These and future closings will be key to the Company's
successful reallocation of resources to the stronger performing stores.

REVENUES

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 increased to $197.6 million, 30%
over the $151.9 million generated for the same quarter of fiscal 1993.  Revenues
for the six month period ended December 29, 1993 rose 28.7% to $390 million from
$303.1 million generated from the same period of fiscal 1993.  The increase is
primarily attributable to the 67 Company-operated restaurants opened or acquired
since December 31, 1992.  Consolidated comparable store sales for the second
quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 1994 rose 3.8% and 3.1%, respectively, which
also contributed to the increase.  On a concept basis, Chili's, Macaroni Grill,
and Grady's experienced comparable store sales increases of 4.3%, 1.1%, and
2.0%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 1994, and 3.3%, 2.8%,
and 1.9%, respectively, on a year-to-date basis.  The introduction of the
"Guiltless Grill" menu items at Chili's as well as the addition of new
dessert menu items has contributed to the increase in comparable store sales
at the Chili's concept in the second quarter.

COSTS AND EXPENSES (as a percent of Revenues)

Cost of Sales decreased and remained stable for the second quarter and year-to-
date of fiscal 1994, respectively.  Favorable commodity prices for produce and
dairy experienced throughout fiscal 1994 were offset by unfavorable commodity
prices for poultry, experienced in the first quarter.  In addition, the relative
growth of Macaroni Grill and Grady's offset the impact of favorable commodity
prices as these concepts have higher Cost of Sales ratios than Chili's.

Restaurant Expenses decreased on both a comparative second quarter and year-to-
date basis.  The decreases resulted from continued efficiencies achieved in
supervising and managing the restaurants, a decrease in rent expense due to the
increase in percentage of restaurants owned versus leased, a decrease in bad
debt expense due to implementation of an on-line credit card authorization
system, and a decrease in liquor taxes due to the dilutive effect of new
restaurant openings in states with lower tax rates.  These favorable trends
were partially offset by increased insurance costs and increases in property
tax rates.

Depreciation and Amortization increased for both the second quarter and year-to-
date of fiscal 1994 compared with the respective period of fiscal 1993.  The
increase is primarily the result of investments in new computer hardware and
software which has contributed to operating efficiencies experienced at both the
restaurants and corporate office.  In addition, Depreciation and Amortization
related to furniture and equipment and pre-opening costs has increased over last
fiscal year due to the increased number of stores opened in the current fiscal
year compared to last fiscal year.  The ongoing restaurant remodeling program as
well as the continued replacement of restaurant furniture and equipment are
other factors contributing to the increase.
</PAGE>
<PAGE>
General and Administrative declined for both the second quarter and year-to-date
of fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993 due to the Company's focus on controlling
corporate expenditures and efficiencies realized from increased investments in
computer hardware and software.  The dollar increase in General and
Administrative costs is due to additional staff and support as the Company
accelerates expansion of its restaurant concepts, including international
franchising.

Other, Net, increased substantially for both the second quarter and year-to-date
of fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993.  The increase is primarily the result of
a gain of approximately $1,000,000 generated from the sale of land in the second
quarter.  In addition, increases in realized gains on sales of marketable
securities contributed to the increase.  Interest and dividend income remained
flat on both a comparative second quarter and year-to-date basis.

INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

As a result of the relationships between Revenues and Costs and Expenses, Income
Before Provision for Income Taxes increased 43.1% and 38.7%, respectively, over
the second quarter and year-to-date results of fiscal 1993.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 35.5% from 34.7% for both
the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 1994 compared to the same periods
of fiscal 1993.  The Company's effective income tax rate continues to rise as a
result of additional state tax liabilities resulting from continued expansion,
particularly relating to growth in California and Florida.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, enacted in August 1993, mandates certain
changes in Federal income tax laws, which among other items, includes an
increase in the statutory Federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35% and
reinstatement of the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit.  The impact of these changes,
retroactive to January 1993, did not have a material impact on the Company's
effective income tax rate.  This act also mandates a tax credit for FICA taxes
paid on tips, effective January 1994.  These changes are not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's effective income tax rate as the amounts are
offsetting.

NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net Income and Net Income Per Share rose 41.4% and 40.9%, respectively, compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 1993.  Year-to-date Net Income and Net Income
Per Share increased 37% and 33.3%, respectively, compared to the same period of
fiscal 1993.  The increases exceed the increases in Revenues as the Company
continues to control Costs and Expenses while maintaining the expansion of its
concepts.  Primary Weighted Average Shares Outstanding increased 3.2% for both
the comparative second quarter and year-to-date amounts.  The increase is
primarily the result of common stock options exercised.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The Company has not experienced a significant overall impact from inflation.  As
operating expenses increase, the Company, to the extent permitted by
competition, recovers increased costs by raising menu prices.
</PAGE>
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The working capital deficit increased from $44 million at June 30, 1993 to $57
million at December 29, 1993, due primarily to the Company's capital
expenditures as discussed below.  Net cash provided by operating activities
increased to $52.9 million for the first half of the year from $37 million
during the same period in fiscal 1993 due to the greater number of
restaurants in operation over the prior fiscal year and strong operating
results from existing units. 

Long-term debt outstanding at December 29, 1993, consisted of obligations under
capital leases.  At December 29, 1993, the Company had drawn $2.9 million from
its lines of credit to fund short-term operational needs, leaving $37.1 million
available funds from lines of credit.

Capital expenditures were $62.8 million for the six months ended December 29,
1993 as compared to $54.6 million last fiscal year.  Purchases of land for
future restaurant sites, the acquisition of four restaurants from a
franchisee, new restaurants under construction, purchases of new and
replacement restaurant furniture and equipment, and the ongoing remodeling
program were responsible for the increased expenditures.  The Company
estimates that its capital expenditures during the third quarter will
approximate $34 million.  These capital expenditures will be funded
internally from restaurant operations, build-to-suit lease agreements with
landlords, liquidating investments, and dividend and interest income from
investments. 

The Clinton administration continues to analyze and propose new legislation
which could adversely impact the entire business community.  Mandated health
care and minimum wage measures, if passed, could increase the Company's
operating costs.  The Company would attempt to offset increased costs through
additional improvements in operating efficiencies and menu price increases.

The Company is not aware of any other event or trend which would potentially
affect its liquidity.  In the event such a trend would develop, the Company
believes that there are sufficient funds available to it under the lines of
credit, investment portfolio,  and strong internal cash generating capabilities
to adequately manage the expansion of business.
