             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The   condensed   consolidated    financial   statements   of    Brinker
      International, Inc.  ("Company") as  of September 28, 1994  and June 29,
      1994 and for the thirteen week  periods ended September 28, 1994 and the
      September 29,  1993 have been prepared  by the Company,  pursuant to the
      rules  and regulations of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The
      Company owns  and operates  five 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"),  Spageddies
      Italian Kitchen  ("Spageddies"),  and  On  The  Border  Cafes  ("On  The
      Border").

      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 29,  1994
      Form 10-K.    Company  management  believes  that  the  disclosures  are
      sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.

2.    Net Income Per Share

      Both primary  and fully diluted  net income per  share are based  on the
      weighted  average  number  of   shares  outstanding  during  the  period
      increased by  common equivalent shares (stock  options) determined using

3.    Business Combination

      Effective August 3, 1994, the  Company acquired four Chili's restaurants
      located in Florida and Georgia from a franchisee in exchange for 505,930
      shares  of  Company common  stock.    The  acquisition  of  one  of  the
      restaurants was  accounted for as  a purchase.   The acquisition  of the
      remaining three restaurants was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
      Accordingly, the  Company's consolidated financial  statements have been
      restated  to include the accounts  and operations of  the three acquired
      restaurants for the periods presented.

REVENUES

Revenues for the  first quarter of  fiscal 1995  increased to $247.1  million,
19.2% over the  $207.3 million generated for the same  quarter of fiscal 1994.
The increase is primarily attributable  to the 61 Company-operated restaurants
opened or acquired since September 29, 1993.  In addition, reported comparable
store sales increased 0.7%  as Chili's, Macaroni Grill, and  Grady's generated
comparable  store  sales increases  (decreases)  of  1.0%,  1.9%, and  (2.5)%,
respectively.    Strong   new  store  sales  volumes  experienced  last  year,
particularly  with respect  to Grady's  and Macaroni  Grill, resulted  in more
difficult  comparable  store  sales  comparisons this  quarter.  Although  the
Florida  market has  been hurt  by a  decline in tourism,  positive comparable
store sales gains  in Texas and California have offset  the comparatively soft
sales in Florida.

COSTS AND EXPENSES (as a percent of Revenues)

Cost of sales decreased from 27.7% in fiscal 1994 to 26.8% in fiscal 1995.  As
a result  of increased  purchasing leverage,  favorable commodity  prices were
experienced  in  meat,  poultry,  produce,  and  dairy.    These  prices  were
responsible for about 50% of the favorable variance.  Other  favorable factors
include shifts in product mix to lower food cost items and menu reformulation,
such as  the addition  of the Guiltless  Grill menu items  at Chili's.   These
positive  variances  were  somewhat  offset  by unfavorable  prices  for  non-
alcoholic beverages and seafood.

Restaurant expenses increased from 51% in fiscal 1994 to 51.3% in fiscal 1995.
Management  costs increased due to staffing and training costs associated with
second and third  quarter expansion.   At the  restaurant level, hourly  costs
increased  due  to  overtime  incurred  to  cover  temporary  spot   shortages
experienced  when  school  commenced in  August  and  September.   These  cost
increases were partially offset by decreases in rent expense resulting from an
increase in the percentage  of owned versus leased restaurants  and reductions
in claim costs across all lines of insurance as  a result of aggressive safety
programs in place at the restaurant level.

Depreciation  and amortization  was  flat compared  to  the prior  year  first
quarter.  Construction costs  for new restaurants, remodel costs,  and capital
expenditures  at the  corporate level, including  investments in  new computer
hardware  and software,  were offset  by increased  restaurant revenues  and a
declining depreciable asset base for older units.

General  and administrative expenses declined  in the first  quarter of fiscal
1995 compared to fiscal 1994 due to the Company's ongoing focus on controlling
corporate  overhead and  efficiencies realized  from increased  investments in
computer   hardware  and  software.    The  dollar  increase  in  general  and
administrative expenses is due to additional staff  and support as the Company
accelerates  expansion of  its  restaurant  concepts, including  international
franchising.

Other,  net, decreased  compared to  the first  quarter of  fiscal 1994.   The
decrease is primarily the result of $500,000 in net realized gains on sales of
marketable  securities recognized  in  the first  quarter  of fiscal  1994  as
investments  were called  by companies  that were  refinancing.   Interest and
dividend income, however, remained flat.

INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

As a  result of  the relationships between  revenues and  costs and  expenses,
income before  provision for income taxes  has increased 24.9%  over the first
quarter of fiscal 1994.

</PAGE>

INCOME TAXES

The  Company's effective  income  tax rate  increased  to 35.5%  in  the first
quarter of fiscal  1995 compared to 35.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
The  Company's effective  income tax  rate continues  to rise  as a  result of
incremental  earnings taxed  at higher  effective rates  and additional  state
income  tax  liabilities  resulting  from  continued  expansion,  particularly
relating to growth in California and Florida.

NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income and net income per share rose 24.3% and 25%, respectively, compared
to  the first quarter  of fiscal 1994.   The increases exceed  the increase in
revenues  as the  Company  continues  to  control  costs  and  expenses  while
maintaining the expansion  of the restaurant concepts.   The 0.4%  increase in
primary  weighted average shares outstanding 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The working capital deficit increased  from $54.9 million at June 29,  1994 to
$61.5  million at September 28, 1994,  due primarily to  the Company's capital
expenditures  as discussed below.   Net cash provided  by operating activities
decreased from  $26.3 million in  the first  quarter of fiscal  1994 to  $19.9
million in the first quarter  of fiscal 1995 due to the  timing of operational
receipts and payments, which  offset cash generated from the  increased number
of restaurants in operation, strong operating results from existing units, and
the effective containment of costs.

Long-term  debt outstanding  at  September 28, 1994  consisted of  obligations
under capital leases.   At September 28, 1994, the Company had available funds
from lines of credit totalling $28.9 million.

Capital expenditures were $36.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal  1995,
as compared to $31.2 million in  the first quarter of fiscal 1994.   Purchases
of  land for  future  restaurant sites,  new  restaurants under  construction,
purchases of new and  replacement restaurant furniture and equipment,  and the
ongoing  remodeling  program  for  existing  units  were  responsible for  the
increased expenditures.   The Company estimates that its  capital expenditures
during  the second quarter of  fiscal 1995 will  be approximately $48 million.
These capital  expenditures will  be funded  from internal  operations, income
earned from  investments, build-to-suit  lease agreements with  landlords, and
drawdowns on the Company's available lines of credit.

The Clinton administration is  likely to continue  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 under the lines  of credit
and from strong internal cash generating capabilities to adequately manage the
expansion of the business.
