                                  (UNAUDITED)



(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chart House
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the quarterly and six
month periods ended June 30, 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 six months of 1995, employees of the Company exercised stock options
to purchase an aggregate of 17,135 shares of common stock under the Company's
1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan at a purchase price of $1.54 per share.

(4)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell to an
unrelated third party all outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Paradise Bakery, Inc.  The sale price will consist of $5.1 million
of cash and a promissory note of approximately $1.5 million.  The transaction is
expected to close in the third quarter of 1995.

   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 second quarter and six months of 1995 increased by
$1,474,000 and $3,956,000, respectively, from the same periods of the prior
year.  Newly-opened Islands restaurants accounted for an increase in Revenues of
$2,549,000 for the second quarter and $4,609,000 for the six months.  Also, the
Company's wholesale bakery increased its sales by $508,000 and $1,013,000 over
the previous second quarter and six month periods, respectively, due primarily
to the addition of the Starbucks Coffee Company retail account.  The sale of the
Cork 'N Cleaver restaurants at the end of 1994 accounted for a decrease in
Revenues of $775,000 and $1,539,000 for the second quarter and six months,
respectively.  Comparable restaurant sales (sales at restaurants open the entire
periods of both years) were down 2% for the second quarter and 1% for the six
months, due primarily to a decrease in customer counts at Chart House
restaurants.

                                       8

   Restaurant operating margins (Income from Restaurant Operations as a
percentage of Revenues) were 16.0% for the second quarter and 15.4% for the six
months of 1995, compared to 16.3% and 15.5%, respectively, for the same periods
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 the prior year 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 as a percentage of Revenues
decreased for the second quarter from 9.2% in 1994 to 8.6% in 1995, and for the
six month period from 9.1% in 1994 to 8.8% in 1995.  Marketing expenditures for
the Chart House Aloha Club were lower in 1995 than in 1994, as there were
significant start up and support costs in 1994 for the Aloha Club.  In addition,
personnel and overhead costs were reduced in 1995, following the successful
transition to the Company's control of the Islands organization in mid-1994.

   Interest Expense for the second quarter and six months of 1995 increased by
$110,000 and $254,000, respectively, from the same periods of the prior year 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
second quarter and six months of 1995, compared with 35% for the second quarter
and 36% for the six months of 1994.  The decrease in the rate primarily reflects
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 $154,000 for the second
quarter of 1995 and $314,000 for the six months of 1995, over the same periods
of the prior year.

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 three banks which
provides a $40,000,000 line of credit (increased in April 1995 from $30,000,000)
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 six months of 1995, the Company decreased its revolving
credit debt by $1,800,000.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding
borrowings of $20,200,000 under the revolving credit agreement.

   The Company opened two Islands restaurants in Pembroke Pines and Miami,
Florida, in the first six months of 1995.  Capital Expenditures, which totalled
$8.1 million, also include expenditures for Islands restaurants under
construction and for remodels of certain Chart House restaurants.

   The Company expects to open five additional Islands restaurants in the
remaining six months of 1995 and one Chart House restaurant towards the end of
1995 or in early 1996.  Total capital expenditures for 1995 are projected to be
approximately $20.0 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.

Seasonality
-----------

   Historically, the Company's business is seasonal in nature with Revenues and
Net Income for the second and third quarters being greater than in the first and
fourth quarters.
