(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chart House
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the quarterly periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  These
financial statements have not been audited by independent public accountants,
but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods.
However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other
interim period or for the full year.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim
financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the information not
misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

(2)  NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

   Per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding during
the period.  Fully diluted earnings per share equals primary earnings per share
for all periods presented.

(3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   In the first quarter of 1995, employees of the Company exercised stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 12,135 shares of common stock under the
Company's 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan at a purchase price of $1.54 per
share.

</TABLE>

   Management believes that the most meaningful approach to analyzing results of
operations is through margin analysis, which requires critically reviewing the
relationships that certain costs and expenses bear to Revenues.  Accordingly,
the discussion below follows this approach.

   Revenues for the first quarter increased by $2,482,000 from $40,290,000 in
1994 to $42,772,000 in 1995.  Comparable restaurant sales (sales at restaurants
open the entire quarter of both years) increased by 2% for Chart House and 1%
for all restaurants.  Newly-opened Islands restaurants accounted for an increase
in Revenues of $2,060,000.  Also, the Company's wholesale bakery increased its
quarterly sales by $505,000 over the previous year, due primarily to the
addition of the Starbucks retail account.  The sale of the Cork 'N Cleaver
restaurants at the end of 1994 accounted for a decrease in Revenues of $764,000.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
   Restaurant operating margins (Income from Restaurant Operations as a
percentage of Revenues) increased to 14.8% for the first quarter of 1995 from
14.6% for the first quarter of 1994.  Cost of Food and Supplies decreased as a
percentage of Revenues mainly because of lower costs of beef and chicken
products  and improved control of food costs at Islands restaurants.  Reductions
in hourly employee labor were the primary reason for the favorable decrease in
Payroll and Related Taxes as a percentage of Revenues, as management intensified
its efforts to control labor costs at the restaurant level.  However, Other
Operating Costs as a percentage of Revenues increased in 1995 due to increased
direct promotional costs of redeeming Aloha Club awards at the Chart House
restaurants, an increase in insurance expenses over last year's quarter and from
new Islands restaurants, which initially have higher occupancy and other
operating costs as a percentage of Revenues.  Deprecation and Amortization
increased slightly as a percentage of Revenues in 1995 because of the addition
of several new Islands restaurants, which generally have shorter asset lives
than do Chart House restaurants.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased by $182,000, but as a
percentage of Revenues decreased from 9.0% in 1994 to 8.9% in 1995.  The first
quarter of 1994 was benefited by income recognition of $300,000 from settlement
of an insurance claim, which decreased 1994 first quarter expenses as a
percentage of Revenues by .7%.  Also, marketing expenditures were lower in 1995
than in 1994, mainly due to the maturing of the Aloha Club.  In addition,
personnel and overhead costs were reduced in 1995 following the successful
transition of the Islands organization to the Company's control in mid-1994.

   Interest Expense increased by $144,000 from the prior year first quarter due
to increases in borrowings in the latter half of 1994 to fund the expansion
of Islands restaurants and higher prevailing interest rates under the revolving
credit agreement in 1995.

   The Provision for Income Taxes reflects an effective rate of 31% for the
first quarter of 1995, compared with 38% a year ago.  The decrease in the rate
primarily reflects and the increased amount of federal tax credit for
employment-related FICA taxes paid on tip earnings reported by the Company's
employees.

   As a result of the foregoing, Net Income increased by $160,000 from $728,000
for the first quarter of 1994, to $888,000 for the first quarter of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

   The Company requires capital principally for the acquisition and construction
of new restaurants and the remodeling and refurbishing of existing restaurants.
The Company's primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations
and borrowings under a revolving credit agreement with two banks which provides
a $30,000,000 line of credit with interest at the lead bank's base rate.  Any
excess cash flows from operating and investing activities are used primarily to
reduce those borrowings.  In the first quarter of 1995, the Company decreased
its revolving credit debt by $200,000.  At March 31, 1995, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $21,800,000 under the revolving credit agreement.

   The Company opened one restaurant, an Islands in Pembroke Pines, Florida, in
the first quarter of 1995.  Capital Expenditures, which totalled $3.5 million,
also include expenditures for Islands restaurants under construction and for
remodels of certain Chart House restaurants.

                                     -9-
<PAGE>
 
   The Company expects to open six additional Islands restaurants and one Chart
House restaurant in the remaining nine months of 1995.  Total capital
expenditures for 1995 are projected to be approximately $21.0 million.
Management believes that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund a
significant portion of the capital expenditures for the planned new restaurants
for 1995, the ongoing maintenance and remodeling of existing restaurants and
construction of restaurants which will open in 1996.  Borrowings under the
revolving credit agreement will meet funding requirements not met by cash flows
from operations in 1995.

   In April 1995, the Company increased its revolving credit commitment amount
