Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Hudson's Grill of America, Inc. (the "Company") franchises
and previously owned and operated full-service restaurants,
primarily in Southern California and Texas. As of June 30, 1996,
the Company has fourteen franchised restaurants. Additionally,
it owns four restaurants, all of which are held for sale. (See
Notes 2 and 8).
The consolidated financial statements include the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Equipco, Inc. and Hudson's
Grill of Whittier, Inc. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Management is in the process of attempting to sell and
franchise the Company's restaurants and believes that these and
other cost cutting actions will assist the Company in meeting its
cash flow requirements over the next twelve months.
Restaurants Held for Sale
As of June 30, 1996, all restaurants held for sale are
operated under formal or informal joint venture agreements with
prospective purchasers. The Company has ceased recording
operating revenues and expenses on these restaurant locations,
but records joint venture revenues (see Note 8). One restaurant
held for sale was operated by the Company through mid-March,
1996, following a foreclosure under a joint venture agreement
during 1995. The assets of the restaurants held for sale are
primarily property and equipment and liquor licenses. Management
has evaluated the remaining net assets of the restaurants held
for sale and believes the carrying values do not exceed the net
realizable values of those assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of
cash flows consist of cash and short-term investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less.
HUDSON'S GRILL OF AMERICA, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont'd)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONT'D)
Non-current Assets
All of the Company's property and equipment is leased under
operating leases to prospective purchasers.
Depreciation of property and equipment is recognized using
the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets
(generally five to seven years).
Amortization of leaseholds is recognized using the straight-
line method over the shorter of the initial term of the
respective lease or the service life of the leased asset.
Liquor licenses are recorded at cost and are amortized over
ten years.
Revenue Recognition
Initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue when all
material services or conditions relating to the sale have been
substantially performed or satisfied. Continuing franchise fees
are recognized as revenue as the fees are earned and become
receivable from the franchisee.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due
plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the
financial and income tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return
consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or
deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
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 liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
HUDSON'S GRILL OF AMERICA, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont'd)

(CONT'D)
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant items in the accompanying financial
statements that include estimates are notes and leases receivable
and lease contingencies. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.
Income (loss) per share
Income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares are not
considered if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock
equivalents consist of outstanding stock options and warrants.
Common stock equivalents are assumed to be exercised with the
related proceeds used to repurchase outstanding shares except
when the effect would be antidilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in
the income (loss) per share computation was 6,056,986 for the
period ended June 30, 1996 and 10,056,986 for the period ended
June 30, 1995.
2. FRANCHISE ACTIVITIES
In 1991, the Company commenced franchising its Hudson's
Grill concept. Under the terms of the standard franchise
agreement, the franchisees are obligated to pay the Company an
initial franchise fee of $25,000, and a weekly continuing royalty
fee of 4% of gross restaurant revenues, and must spend 3% of
gross sales on approved advertising, including a weekly 1%
marketing fee contributed to the Company's marketing fund. The
Company is obligated to provide initial training, continuing
management assistance, administration of advertising and sales
promotion programs and establishment and monitoring of a
marketing fund. Franchising revenues consisted of:

Initial franchise revenues $ 521 $ 49,374
Continuing franchise
revenues 147,215 98,767
Total franchise revenues $ 147,736 $ 148,141

2. FRANCHISE ACTIVITIES (CONT'D)
In November, 1995, the Company received $150,000 from a
franchisee to prepay franchise fees. The Company recorded the
amount received as deferred income and will amortize it to income
over the life of the agreement. The balance at June 30, 1996 is
$137,193.
3. NOTES AND LEASES RECEIVABLE
At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company had a
note receivable with a balance of $1,199,114 from its Texas
franchisee. A principal shareholder of the Company owns an
interest in this entity and Travis L. Bryant (see Note 5) owned
an interest in this entity until 1994. Monthly payments of
principal and interest in the amount of $14,006 were required for
ten years at which time all remaining principal and accrued
interest was due. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per
year and is collateralized by restaurant equipment and
improvements. In addition, an offset agreement exists in which
the Company can offset any past due amounts on the note against a
note payable to Travis L. Bryant with a balance of $1,141,758
and $1,148,110 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995
respectively. See Note 5.
Only three payments were received in 1995 from the Texas
franchisee and were applied to accrued interest. The Company
began to exercise its right of offset on its note payable to
Travis L. Bryant beginning in February 1996. Subsequent to
December 31, 1995, the Company and the Texas franchisee agreed to
modify the note by foregoing payments until February 1997, at
which time the entire amount of unpaid principal and interest is
to be amortized at 8% over ten years. The Company was assigned
several notes receivable with an aggregate face value of
$1,199,000 as additional collateral in connection with the
modification agreement. These notes arose from the sale by the
Texas franchisee of four of its restaurants and are
collateralized by the assets of the restaurants.
In connection with the sale of restaurants in the year ended
January 2, 1994, the Company received a note for $490,000 with
annual installments due over four years with the balance due in
the fifth year, plus interest at prime plus 2%. The balance of
the note at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $174,263 and
$228,409 respectively.
In connection with the sale of a restaurant in the year
ended January 1, 1995, the Company received a note for $262,800.
HUDSON'S GRILL OF AMERICA, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont'd)
3. NOTES AND LEASES RECEIVABLE (CONT'D)
The note bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of prime
plus 2% or 9%, adjusted on a quarterly basis. Payments of
interest only are required for one year, after which ninety-six
monthly payments are required in amounts necessary to amortize
the remaining principal balance of the note. The Company has
agreed to accept interest only payments from April, 1996 through
December, 1996. After that time amortization of principal begins
again. The balance of the note was $250,300 at June 30, 1996 and
$255,752 at December 31, 1995.
At June 30, 1996, the Company has a $13,025 note receivable
from a franchisee. The note bears interest at 10% and is payable
in equal monthly installments over a two year period.
In connection with the sale of a restaurant in the year ended
December 31, 1995 the Company received a note for $50,000 with annual
installments of $12,023 over five years including interest at 7.5
percent. The balance of the note at June 30, 1996 was $23,974.
In connection with the sale of a restaurant in January 1996, the
Company received a note for $282,087. The note bears interest at 9.75%.
Payments of interest only are required for two years, after which the
balance is due over ten years. The balance of the note was $282,087 at
June 30, 1996.
In the first quarter of 1996 a franchisee breached his franchise
agreement and a restaurant was reacquired by the Company. The Company
agreed to forgive debt in the amount of $157,415 in reacquiring all
assets of the restaurant. The Company immediately joint ventured the
restaurant and it is currently under contract to be sold.
The notes that arose with the sales of the various restaurants
referred to above are collateralized with certain assets of those
restaurants.
The Company also leased the restaurant equipment to the purchasers
of the restaurants sold in the periods June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995. The leases have been classified as sales-type leases. The net
carrying value of the leases receivable at June 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995 is $415,418 and $419,093 respectively.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company's restaurant buildings and certain equipment are
operated under noncancelable operating leases. Terms of these leases
extend from 3 to 25 years. Certain leases are guaranteed by former
directors. In addition to amounts included below, the leases generally
provide that the company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain
other operating expenses applicable to the leased property, plus a
percentage of gross receipts in excess of certain limits stated in the
lease agreements. As explained in Note 8, most of the Company's
remaining restaurants are operated by third parties under joint venture
agreements and the rental payments are being made by those parties.
The following is a summary by years of future minimum lease
payments on the restaurant locations:

In addition to the leases discussed above, the Company has assigned
to the purchasers the leases of buildings for nine of the restaurants
sold in the periods June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The Company is
secondarily liable for the lease payments on these restaurants should
the purchasers not fulfill their responsibility under the leases. The
future lease payments for these restaurants total approximately
$9,804,152 at June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company may be
secondarily liable under other leases for restaurants sold in prior
years.
Total rental expenses for operating leases were $23,355 and $44,246
for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONT'D)
In the year ended January 1, 1995, Travis L. Bryant formally agreed
to reduce a $3,360,000 note payable to him into a $1,300,000 note due in
monthly installments as described above. In addition, Bryant agreed to
forgive certain other amounts due him by the Company, which totalled
approximately $720,000. In connection with the restructuring
transaction, Bryant also received a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at $.0625 per share anytime over the next
ten years. Consummation of the agreement was contingent on the
Company's performance of certain conditions, including the loan of an
additional amount to the Texas franchisee to increase that note
receivable from $300,000 to $1,300,000 (see Note 3) and the compromise
and satisfaction of certain liabilities due lessors of certain closed
restaurant locations (See Note 4). These conditions were satisfied in
the year ended January 1, 1995 and the debt restructure was consummated.
The total debt forgiveness of $1,747,233, net of approximately
$1,033,000 of the write-off of associated goodwill, was recorded as an
extraordinary item.
6. INCOME TAXES
There was no income tax provision as of June 30, 1996 due to the
application of tax net operating loss carryforwards. The actual tax
expense differs from the "expected" tax expense computed by applying the
U.S. Federal corporate tax rate of 34% to earnings before income taxes
primarily due to differences between financial reporting and income tax
treatment of the debt restructuring described in Note 5.

6. INCOME TAXES (CONT'D)
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences
between income tax and financial reporting as of June 30, 1996 and June
30, 1995 as follows:

Deferral income and rent 36,000
Valuation allowance (398,000) (457,000)
$ $
At June 30, 1996, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) and
investment tax credit carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of
approximately $860,000 and $200,000, respectively. Use of these
carryforwards (with the exception of approximately $390,000 of the NOL
carryforward) were limited due to issuance of the warrant described in
Note 5.
7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock with rights and preferences as designated by the Board of
Directors.
The Company has an incentive stock option plan ("ISO") which
provides for the issuance of options to officers, directors and
employees to purchase up to 825,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. Options are exercisable at prices equal to the fair market value
of common stock at the grant date, vest 20% annually and expire
generally within five years. In 1993 the shareholders of the Company
approved a Directors' Stock Option Plan ("DSO"). This plan provides for
the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of stock to non-employee directors
in increments of 10,000 shares every two years. Options will be issued
at the average of the closing bid-ask price on the date of the grant.
No options were outstanding as of June 30, 1996 or December 31, 1995
under either plan.

8. RESTAURANT SALES AND CLOSURES (CONT'D)
During the period ended June 30, 1996 the Company sold one
restaurant and recorded a deferred gain of $342,821 on the sale, which
will be amortized into income over the terms of the related note and
lease receivables (see Note 3). The balance of the deferred gain at
June 30, 1996 was $336,201.
The Company is endeavoring to sell all remaining restaurants and
has granted purchase options for four of the remaining restaurants
owned. These purchase options also include certain joint venture
provisions, which began in the second half of the year ended January 2,
1994, whereby, the future purchasers operate the restaurants and the
Company receives a joint venturer's fee based on sales, net of certain
operating expenses. Based on the option price provided in these
agreements, management does not anticipate recording a loss on sale of
these restaurants.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized
at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as
contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance
sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of
customers or counterparties when they have similar economic
characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 105, Disclosure of
Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and
Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk, the credit
risk amounts shown do not take into account the value of any collateral
or security.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk
consist principally of accounts receivable, cash on deposit and notes
and leases receivable.
At June 30, 1996, accounts receivable totalled $33,325 and the
Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,500. Bad
debts were immaterial for 1995 and 1994. The Company performs periodic
credit evaluations on its customers' financial conditions and believes
that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances in excess of FDIC
insurance limits.
Notes and leases receivables are described in Note 3.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT'D)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments
were determined by management using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market
exchange.
At June 30, 1996, cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable
have fair values that approximate book values based on their short term
or demand maturity.
The fair value of notes receivable and notes payable are based on
estimated discounted cash flows. The fair value of these Instruments
approximates book value at June 30, 1996.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Net Sales
Franchise revenue decreased from $148,141 for the half year ended
June 30, 1995 to $147,736 for the half year ended June 30, 1996.
However, for the comparable 3 month period ending June 30th, franchise
revenue increased to $74,069 in 1996 from $59,264 in 1995. Net joint
venture revenue and equipment lease income was $115,352 in the first
half year of 1995 and decreased to $76,821 in the first half year of
1996. During this past year several of the Company's joint ventures
became franchises, and thus joint venture revenues decreased. For the
half year ended June 30, 1995, the Company had capital lease income of
$34,746; capital lease income increased slightly in the first half year
of 1996 to $35,339.
Expenses
Net restaurant operating expenses were $44,751 for the half year
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $45,846 for the half year ended June
30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses for the half year ended June
30, 1996, were $348,448 compared to $248,791 for the half year ended
June 30, 1995. This increase is partially due to the Company's hiring
of a vice president to coordinate new franchising opportunities and to
support existing franchises and the hiring of another administrative
employee.
Depreciation declined in the first half year of 1995 to $23,693
from 1995's amount of $46,514. This is mostly due to the sales of
Company restaurants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $170,100
as of June 30, 1996, as compared to a surplus of $195,506 for December
31, 1995. The decrease is due to a decrease in cash and a decrease in
prepaid expenses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On May 30, 1996, Jordano's, Inc., a California corporation, filed
suit against Ron Stayer and against Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., in
the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of
Santa Barbara. The suit is a complaint for money alleging that
Jordano's provided $104,212.52 worth of unpaid goods to the Hudson's
Grill located in Pomona, California, and operated by Ronald Stayer. The
suit alleged that the registrant guaranteed the indebtedness of the
Pomona restaurant. The registrant denies any obligation owed to
Jordano's based on the alleged guaranty. The court has granted
Jordano's the right to amend its suit against the registrant, but
currently the registrant has not received any amended complaint. Two
years ago, the registrant set up a reserve to cover expenses related to
transferring its former interest in the Pomona restaurant; the costs of
defending this suit will be deducted from the reserve.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At its annual meeting held on May 28, 1996, shareholders of the
registrant approved an amendment to the registrant's articles of
incorporation that increased the number of authorized shares of common
stock permitted to be issued by the registrant from 10,000,000 shares to
100,000,000 shares. The number of shares voted for the amendment was
4,420,284; the number shares voted against the amendment was 169,107;
and the number of shares that abstained was 3,025.
Item 5. Other Information.
The registrant has entered into two new franchise agreements. One
of the new franchise agreements was for a new Hudson's Grill that opened
on July 22, 1996, in Fullerton, California. The second new franchise
agreement is for a new Hudson's Grill to be opened at a shopping center
under construction in Santa Clarita, California, that is due to be
