                   ----------------------------------------


To 401(k) Plan Committee of the Chart House Enterprises, Inc. Corporate
Employees 401(k) Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the CHART HOUSE ENTERPRISES, INC. CORPORATE EMPLOYEES 401(k) PLAN as
of December 28, 1998 and December 29, 1997, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information, for the year
ended December 28, 1998. These financial statements and the schedules referred
to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Chart
House Enterprises, Inc. Corporate Employees 401(k) Plan as of December 28, 1998
and December 29, 1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits, with fund information, for the year ended December 28, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
For Investment Purposes, Reportable Transactions, and Nonexempt Transactions are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

(1)  PLAN DESCRIPTION
     ----------------

Chart House Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") established the Chart House
Enterprises, Inc. Corporate Employees 401(k) (formerly "Thrift") Plan (the
"Plan") effective January 1, 1986. The Plan is a defined contribution plan and
is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA), as amended. As of July 1998, the Plan is administered by, and all
Plan investments are held by, Scudder Trust Company (the "Trustee"). Prior to
July 1998, the Plan was administered by William Mercer, Inc. and all Plan
investments were held by SBS Trust Company, a division of Smith Barney Shearson
Company. Participation in the Plan is available to substantially all corporate
employees with a job title classification A01 through E60, who have completed at
least one year and 1,000 hours of service and who have reached the age of 21. In
1996 the Plan changed its year end to conform with the Company's reporting
method, a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the last Monday closest to the
calendar year end.

Contributions to the Plan are made by the participants and are matched by the
Company. Participants may contribute from 1% to 10% of their gross pay. The
Company will make a basic matching contribution of 25% of the first 5% of a
participant's contribution, not to exceed 2.5% of employees' earnings or $1,250
for the Plan year, whichever is less, and will make a supplemental quarterly
matching contribution of an additional 25% of the first 5% of a participant's
contribution, not to exceed $1,250 or 1.25% of earnings, whichever is less, if
the Company meets or exceeds targeted results of operations, as determined by
the Board of Directors. Participant contributions are invested by the Trustee in
one or more specified funds (see Note 2) as designated by each participant.
Company contributions are invested based upon the participant's election to
their investment account.

Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions and any
investment earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching contributions and
any investment earnings thereon (the "Employer Accounts") is based on years of
service. A participant vests at the rate of 20% per year and becomes fully
vested after five years of service; however, in the event of termination due to
retirement, disability or death, participants become fully vested regardless of
years of service.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
the participant's share of the Company's contributions, together with earnings
and losses thereon. Forfeitures of non-vested amounts are to be used solely to
offset future Company matching contributions. At December 28, 1998 and December
29, 1997, forfeited nonvested amounts totaled $11,599 and $20,160, respectively.

Upon termination of service due to retirement or disability, a participant may
elect to receive distribution of benefits in either a lump sum or partial
payments, with the remaining balance distributed at the end of the quarter. If
the termination of service is for any other reason, distribution of benefits
will be made in a lump sum payment. Participants may apply for hardship
distributions under certain circumstances.

                                       5
<PAGE>

The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. In
the event of termination of the Plan, the value of each participant's account
will become fully vested and non-forfeitable. In no event may the assets of the
Plan revert to the Company.


(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     ------------------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual method
of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to
the 1998 presentation.

Description and Valuation of Investments
- ----------------------------------------

Investment funds available for participant investment from July 1998 and
currently include

(1)  a stock fund (Growth and Income Fund) which invests primarily in common
     stocks and convertible securities of established companies;
(2)  a stock fund (Value Fund) which invests primarily in undervalued common
     stocks of medium to large U.S. companies;
(3)  a stock fund (Baron Asset Fund) which invests primarily in securities of
     small and medium sized companies with undervalued assets;
(4)  a stock fund (International Fund) which invests primarily in foreign
     stocks;
(5)  a balanced fund (Pathway Series-Balanced Fund) which invests in a
     diversified portfolio with emphasis on growth and current income;

     long term growth of capital;

     grade corporate bonds;
(9)  a collective investment trust (Stable Value Fund) which invests in
     guaranteed investment contracts, money market securities, and treasury
     bills. Fair market value of the fund approximates contract value; and
(10) the Company stock fund.

Investment funds available for participant investment in 1997 and through June
1998 included

(1)  an equity fund (managed by Provident Investment Council) which invests
     primarily in equity securities with emphasis on capital appreciation;

     both common stocks and higher quality fixed-income securities with equal
     emphasis on current income and capital appreciation;
(3)  an income fund (managed by Howe & Rusling Investment Management) which
     invests in high quality debt securities with emphasis on current income;
(4)  a money market fund (managed by Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company),
     which invests in short-term U.S. Government Securities with emphasis on
     current income to the extent consistent with preservation of capital; and
(5)  the Company stock fund.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Participants can elect to allocate their contributions between any and all of
the investment funds available in increments of 1%. Changes in investment
choices and allocations can be made twice per year effective on January 1 or
July 1.

Investments in securities are valued at their quoted market prices.

Master Trust Allocation
- -----------------------

Until July 1998, the assets of the Plan were included in a Master Trust.
Effective July 1, 1998 the Master Trust was eliminated and the Plan was part of
a single trust. Under the Master Trust, investment income and administrative
expenses were allocated to the individual plans based on average monthly
balances invested by each plan. The Plan's interest in the assets of the Master
Trust is included in the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits. A summary of the net assets of the Master Trust as of December 29,
1997 is as follows:

Income Tax Status
- -----------------

The Plan obtained its last determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service on June 26, 1995. At that time the Plan was deemed to be designed to
satisfy the qualification requirements, and consequently the related trust
appeared to satisfy the tax exempt requirement of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the qualification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and
that, therefore, the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) and the related trust
is tax exempt as of the financial statement date. Therefore, no provision for
income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

Reconciliation to Form 5500
- ---------------------------

At December 28, 1998 the Plan had $279,754 and $ 4,324, respectively, of pending
distributions to participants. This amount is recorded as a liability in the
Plan's Form 5500; however, this amount is not recorded as a liability in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table reconciles net assets available for benefits per the
financial statements to the Form 5500 as filed by the Company for the year ended

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 net assets available for benefits and changes
therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(3)  ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     -----------------------

The Company pays the Plan's administrative expenses. These expenses include, but
are not limited to, trustee, legal and accounting fees. Transaction related
costs, such as commissions, are deducted from proceeds at the time of the
transaction.

<PAGE>

(4)  NONEXEMPT TRANSACTION
     ---------------------

Due to a change in the plan's trustee in July 1998, there was a delay in the
transfer of data relating to 401 (k) contributions. The plan Administrator is
closely monitoring transfer of contributions to control nonexempt transactions
in the future.
