Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 9.0% to $22,694,392
compared to sales of $20,830,024 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994. For
the first half sales increased 11.4% to $45,593,231 compared to sales of
$40,950,570 for the comparable period last year. The increase in sales for
both the second quarter and first half was due primarily to the additional
stores opened this year. Comparable store sales for both the quarter and half
were higher than last year by less than 1%.
Food and beverage cost as a percent of sales decreased to 28.7% for the
second quarter of 1995 from 29.1% for the comparable period last year. For the
first half food and beverage cost as a percent of sales decreased to 28.5% from
28.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 1994. This improvement reflects the
benefit from food preparation efficiencies implemented late in 1994, offset
somewhat by higher second quarter produce prices.
Labor costs showed significant improvement, declining in the second quarter
as a percent of sales to 34.8% from 38.2% in last year's second quarter. First
half labor cost as a percent of sales at 35.1% is down from 37.7% for the
comparable period last year. These savings were the result of changes made to
more closely match the hourly employee and management staffing to sales volume.
Operating expense for the second quarter as a percent of sales at 16.5% was
the same as the second quarter last year. Operating expense for the first six
months this year as a percent of sales was 16.3%. This was up from 16.2% for
the comparable period last year. This increase was due to higher repair and
maintenance. As the average age of the Company's units continues to grow,
additional costs are required to keep the facilities in top working condition.

<PAGE> 7
Restaurant depreciation and amortization as a percent of sales in the
second quarter was 4.4%, down 1.4 percentage points from the 5.8% for the
comparable period last year. First half restaurant depreciation and
amortization as a percent of sales was 4.6% down 1.3 percentage points from the
5.9% for the comparable period last year. The Company's policy is to
capitalize certain costs incurred prior to opening. These costs are then
amortized over the first twelve months of operations. This year's expense
includes amortization related to five units during the second quarter and six
units year to date. Last year's costs include amortization related to nine
units in the second quarter and ten units during the comparable year to date
period.
Interest expense for the second quarter as a percent of sales at 2.1% was
the same as the comparable period last year. Interest expense for the first
half as a percent of sales increased to 2.2% from 1.9% for the comparable
period last year. The increased interest expense for the first half of 1995
was the result of the Company's larger average outstanding debt balance this
year compared to the first half of last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of working capital are cash flows from
operations and borrowings under a revolving term note agreement which provides
a $16,300,000 line of credit. Cash flows from operations during the first six
months of 1995 totaled $5,029,000 and the Company increased its borrowings
under the revolving term note by $1,053,000 leaving the outstanding balance at
July 2, 1995 at $10,368,000.
The Company opened a unit in Gainesville, Florida during May, purchased an
additional Florida site in June and is expected to open an additional three
units during the third and fourth quarters. Capital expenditures for the above
units and the refurbishing and remodeling of existing units totaled $5,700,000
during the first six months of 1995. These expenditures were funded by cash
flows from operations and additional borrowings from the revolving term note.
The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with borrowings
from the revolving term note will be sufficient to fund the remaining 1995
planned expansion as well as ongoing maintenance and remodeling of existing
units.
The Company completed a registered public offering of $23,000,000 in
October 1992 of 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2002. During
December 1994, the Company repurchased $2,500,000 principal of these
convertible subordinated debentures in the open market for a discounted
purchase price of $1,617,500 with settlement dates in December 1994 and January
1995. The Company expended $642,500 in January to complete this repurchase
transaction. These debentures are subject to limited annual redemption by the
bondholders and to limited redemption on the death of a beneficial owner. The
annual redemption is capped at 5% of the original gross proceeds and occurs on
each November 1. Redemptions on death are subject to a cap of $25,000 per
holder per year. Pursuant to these two redemption options the Company expects
to redeem approximately an additional $1,200,000 in principal of the Debentures
during 1995. The Company believes that cash flows from operations and
additional borrowings from the revolving term note will be sufficient to fund
these expected principal reductions.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Board of Directors approved a
guaranty by the Company of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Chairman of the Board
from the First Union National Bank of Tennessee. The loan bears interest at
such Bank's prime rate plus 1/4%, had an initial term of 18 months and is
secured by a pledge of 570,000 Common Shares (owned by the Chairman) to the
Bank. In the third quarter of 1995 the loan was acquired by NationsBank of
Tennessee and its maturity was extended for an additional 24 months. The
guaranty provides that the Bank will sell the pledged shares and apply the
proceeds thereof to the loan prior to calling on the Company for its guaranty.
At July 25, 1995, the undiscounted fair market value of the pledged shares was
approximately $6,483,750. The loan is scheduled to mature in the third quarter
of 1997. The guaranty secures the loan until it is repaid or refinanced
without a guaranty. The Company expects the Chairman will repay or refinance
the loan before its presently scheduled maturity. If the loan is not so repaid
or refinanced, the Company would fund any obligation it incurs under the terms
of its guaranty from additional borrowings under its line of credit. The
Company does not believe that it will be required to make any material payment
under the guaranty in 1995 or 1996; however, there can be no assurance that the
loan will be repaid or refinanced on terms that will not result in continuing
the guaranty or in a material payment.

Exhibit 10.5
REAFFIRMATION AND AMENDMENT TO
GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT
This Reaffirmation and Amendment to Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement,
dated this 24th day of July, 1995, between Cooker Restaurant Corporation (the
"Guarantor") and NationsBank of Tennessee, N.A., a national banking association
("NationsBank").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Guarantor executed a certain Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement
in March of 1994 (the "Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement") in favor of First
Union National Bank of Tennessee ("First Union") with respect to certain
Obligations (as defined therein) of G. Arthur Seelbinder and Kathleen W. Hammer
(collectively, the "Borrower") to First Union, including without limitation all
obligations evidenced by that certain Term Promissory Note in the original
principal amount of $5,000,000 from Borrower to First Union dated as of March
9, 1994 (the "Term Promissory Note"); and
WHEREAS, NationsBank desires to purchase from First Union the Term
Promissory Note together with all collateral securing the payment of same,
including without limitation the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement executed by
the Guarantor in favor of First Union, its successors and assigns; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to purchasing the Term Promissory Note, NationsBank
has required that the Guarantor execute this Reaffirmation and Amendment to
Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement for the purposes of, among other things,
confirming to NationsBank that the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement follows
the Term Promissory Note and will, following the negotiation and assignment of
the Term Promissory Note to NationsBank, run in favor of NationsBank;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and intending to be
legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. The Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement is hereby amended to replace First
Union National Bank of Tennessee where it appears therein with NationsBank of
Tennessee, N.A. The term "Bank" as used therein shall hereafter refer to
NationsBank of Tennessee, N.A. rather than First Union National Bank of
Tennessee.
B. The Guarantor hereby confirms to NationsBank that the Guaranty and
Suretyship Agreement is in full force and effect, and may be relied upon by
NationsBank in acquiring the Term Promissory Note from First Union. Guarantor
further acknowledges that NationsBank and Borrower intend to make certain
amendments to the Loan Documents previously executed between Borrower and First
Union, including without limitation the following:
1. Releasing as collateral for the Term Promissory Note the real
estate owned by Borrower in Palm Beach County, Florida;
2. Extending the term of the Term Promissory Note an additional
twenty-four months; and
3. Changing the payment schedule of the Term Promissory Note from
quarter annual installments of interest only to annual installments of interest
only, with no principal due until maturity;
<PAGE> 2
4. Cross-defaulting the Term Promissory Note with indebtedness now or
hereafter owed by Guarantor to any bank, insurance company or other financial
institution: and
5. Modifying certain provisions of the Loan Agreement between Borrower
and Bank.
While consenting to the foregoing modifications and acknowledging that it has
had a full opportunity to review the Loan Documents as negotiated to
NationsBank and thereafter modified, Guarantor also covenants and agrees with
NationsBank that Guarantor shall not by implication, express or otherwise, be
entitled to hereafter review or approve any subsequent modification(s) to the
Loan Documents. Guarantor confirms that the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement
is a continuing, absolute and unconditional (except as set forth in paragraph
5.7 thereof) suretyship, and cannot be released, discharged, or in any way
affected by any of the matters set forth in paragraph 2.1 thereof or otherwise.
C. Bank acknowledges the provisions of paragraph 5.7 of the Guaranty and
Suretyship Agreement and agrees to be bound thereby. Further, Bank agrees to
apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Pledged Shares to the Note prior
to applying any such proceeds to any other note or obligation which Borrower
now or hereafter owes to Bank.
D. Guarantor warrants and represents to Bank that the Guaranty and
Suretyship Agreement as herein modified is in full force and effect, and shall
not be further modified except by an instrument in writing signed by all the
parties hereto. This Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement is binding on Guarantor,
its successors and assigns, and shall continue to be governed by the laws of
the state of Tennessee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Reaffirmation and Amendment to Guaranty and
Suretyship Agreement has been executed as of the day and date first above
written.
