                             BACK YARD BURGERS, INC.
                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Back Yard Burgers, Inc. owns and operates quick-service and fast-casual
restaurants and is engaged in the sale of franchises and the collection of
royalties based upon related franchise sales. The company grants franchise
rights for the use of "Back Yard Burgers," "BYB" or "BY Burgers" trade names and
other associated trademarks, signs, emblems, logos, slogans and service marks
which have been or may be developed.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all
information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The statements do reflect all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and
cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements
for the year ended January 2, 1999 included in the company's 1998 Annual Report.

     The financial statements include the accounts of Back Yard Burgers, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Little Rock Back Yard Burgers, Inc., Atlanta
Burgers BYB Corporation and BYB Properties, Inc., as well as the Back Yard
Burgers National Advertising Fund. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

     The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     The company maintains its financial records on a 52-53 week fiscal year
ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

The company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity.

NOTE 3 - DEFERRED FRANCHISE FEES

Amounts received for certain franchise and area development rights, net of
commissions paid, have been deferred. Revenues on individual franchise fees are
recognized when substantially all of the initial services required of the
company have been performed, which generally coincides with the opening of the
franchises. Under the terms of the franchise agreements, these fees are
non-refundable, and may be recognized as income should the franchisee fail to
perform as agreed. Area development fees are recognized on a pro-rata basis as
each unit opens. At July 3, 1999, deferred fees include franchise and area
development rights sold during the following years:

</TABLE>

NOTE 4 - OTHER DEFERRED INCOME

Amounts received from certain vendors relating to future purchases by the
company have been deferred. These funds are recorded as income in a
proportionate manner with respective future purchases. Under the terms of signed
contracts, the company is required to purchase specific volumes in future years.
If these purchase volumes are not met, the funds related to the volume shortages
will be refunded to the vendors.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The company is party to several incidental legal proceedings and claims.
Although the outcome of the proceedings and claims cannot be determined with
certainty, management of the company is of the opinion that it is unlikely that
these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the company.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

         Certain information included herein may contain statements that are
forward-looking, such as statements related to financial items and results,
plans for future expansion and other business development activities, capital
spending or financing sources, capital structure and the effects of regulation
and competition. Forward-looking statements made by the company are based upon
estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management at the time of
such statements and should not be viewed as guarantees of future performance.
Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that
could significantly impact anticipated results in the future and, accordingly,
such results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements by or on behalf of the company. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, increased competition within the industry for
customers, qualified labor and desirable locations, increased costs for beef,
chicken or other food products and management decisions related to restaurant
growth, financing, franchising and new product development, as well as items
described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" below.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                       OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

         As of July 3, 1999, the Back Yard Burgers system included 84
restaurants, of which 35 were company-operated and 49 were franchised. The
company's revenues are derived primarily from company-operated restaurant
sales, franchise and area development fees and royalty fees. Certain expenses
(cost of restaurant sales, restaurant operating expenses, depreciation and
amortization and advertising) relate directly to company-operated restaurants,
while general and administrative expenses relate to both company-operated
restaurants and franchise operations. The company's revenues and expenses are
affected by the number and timing of the opening of additional restaurants.
Sales for new restaurants in the period immediately following their opening tend
to be high because of trial by public and promotional activities. As a result,
the timing of openings can affect the average volume and other period-to-period
comparisons.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total revenue,
unless otherwise indicated, of certain items included in the company's
historical operations and operating data for the periods indicated.

COMPARISON OF THE COMPANY'S RESULTS FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1999
AND JULY 4, 1998.

     RESTAURANT SALES increased 7.8% to $7,111,000 during the thirteen weeks
ended July 3, 1999 compared to $6,598,000 for the same 1998 period. This
increase is primarily the result of the opening of four new company-operated
stores since the year-earlier period. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in same-store sales of 0.8% for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999.
Company management believes that the decreases in same-store sales for the
thirteen week period are the result of the cannabilization of some
company-operated stores in the Memphis market, as well as the fact that the
year- earlier period represented record same-store sales growth for the company.

     ROYALTY FEES increased 16.4% to $398,000 during the thirteen week period
ended July 3, 1999 compared to $342,000 during the same period in 1998. The
increase is due to an increase in franchised restaurant sales upon which the
fees are based. Comparable same-store sales at franchised restaurants open for
more than one year increased 1.8%, representing an increase in royalty fees of
approximately $6,000. Seven franchised restaurants were opened and two
franchised restaurants were closed since July 4, 1998. This increase in net
franchised restaurants open accounted for the remainder of the increase in
royalty fees from the prior year.

     ADVERTISING FEES increased 7.1% to $136,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 1999 compared to $127,000 during the comparable period in 1998. The
increase in advertising fees is due to the increase in franchised restaurant
sales as noted above, upon which the fees are based.

     OTHER REVENUES increased 81.5% to $118,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 1999 compared to $65,000 during the year-earlier period. The increase is
due to revenues generated from sub-contractor vending sales at the Memphis Zoo,
where operations began in March of 1999.

     COST OF RESTAURANT SALES, consisting of food and paper costs, totaled
$2,453,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 and $2,127,000 during the
same period in 1998, increasing as a percentage of restaurant sales to 34.5%
from 32.2%. This percentage increase is primarily the result of an increase in
coupons and discounts, increases in the cost of beef as well as an increase in
waste, consisting of prepared food items not sold due to product hold time
requirements of the company and spoilage. The coupon and discount program
resulted in an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant sales of
1.7%. These increases were offset by minor decreases in the cost of certain
produce and dairy products.

     RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES, consisting of labor, supplies, utilities,
maintenance, rent and certain other unit level operating expenses, increased to
$3,353,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 from $3,010,000 in the
year-earlier period. The percentage of restaurant sales for the thirteen weeks
ended July 3, 1999 was 47.1%, compared to 45.8% for the year-earlier period.
Labor costs as a percentage of sales increased by 0.1% over the year-earlier
period. The remainder of the increase was due to increases in repairs and
maintenance costs and other miscellaneous operating costs incurred during the
period.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS which increased to $900,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 from $848,000 in the year-earlier period,
decreased as a percentage of total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 3,
1999 to 11.6% from 11.9% in the same period in 1998. The increase of $52,000 is
primarily the result of increased spending in the areas of recruiting and
training in efforts to attract quality employees as well as continuing to
enhance customer service.

     ADVERTISING EXPENSE which increased to $439,000 for the thirteen weeks
ended July 3, 1999 from $382,000 in the same period in 1998, increased as a
percentage of total revenues to 5.7% from 5.4%. This is the result of an
increase in the number of company-operated restaurants creating the need for
additional local advertising as well as an increase in advertising fees, as
described above, which are used for the development and production of marketing
campaigns and collateral material.



                                        9

     INTEREST EXPENSE increased 29.7% to $144,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 1999 from $111,000 in the year-earlier period. This is due to a net
increase in long-term debt of $976,000, or 21.2%, since July 4, 1998.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $58,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999
compared to zero in the year-earlier period. In recent profitable years, the
company has been able to offset net income with previous net operating loss
carryforwards. For the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 the company had income
tax expense based on the calculation of alternative minimum tax.

COMPARISON OF THE COMPANY'S RESULTS FOR THE TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1999
AND JULY 4, 1998.

     RESTAURANT SALES increased 7.1% to $13,286,000 during the twenty-six weeks
ended July 3, 1999 compared to $12,406,000 for the same 1998 period. The
increase is due primarily to the opening of four new company-operated stores
since the year-earlier period as well as a 2.0% increase in same store sales for
the twenty-six week period. Company management believes that the increases in
same-store sales are the results of improved customer service; the retrofit of
three double drive-thrus to dine-in facilities with single drive-thrus, and
ongoing training and attention to improved customer service.

     FRANCHISE AND AREA DEVELOPMENT FEES increased 8.0% to $54,000 for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 compared to $50,000 during the comparable
period in 1998. There was an increase in fees recognized from area development
agreements which expired over the year-earlier period of $10,000. However, this
increase in fees was partially offset by lower franchise fees derived from new
stores opened by existing franchisees.

     ROYALTY FEES increased 14.7% to $740,000 during the twenty-six week period
ended July 3, 1999 compared to $645,000 during the same period in 1998. The
increase is due to an increase in franchised restaurant sales upon which the
fees are based. Comparable same-store sales at franchised restaurants open for
more than one year increased 2.1%, representing an increase in royalty fees of
approximately $15,000. Seven franchised restaurants were opened and two
franchised restaurants were closed since July 4, 1998. This increase in net
franchised restaurants open accounted for the remainder of the increase in
royalty fees from the prior year.

     ADVERTISING FEES increased 17.7% to $279,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended
July 3, 1999 compared to $237,000 during the comparable period in 1998. The
increase in advertising fees is related to the increase in franchised restaurant
sales as noted above, upon which the fees are based.

     OTHER REVENUES increased 57.4% to $255,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 1999 compared to $162,000 during the year-earlier period. The increase
is due to revenues generated from sub-contractor vending sales at the Memphis
Zoo, where operations began in March of 1999.

     COST OF RESTAURANT SALES, consisting of food and paper costs, totaled
$4,572,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 and $3,987,000 during the
same period in 1998, increasing as a percentage of restaurant sales to 34.4%
from 32.1%. This percentage increase is primarily the result of an increase in
coupons and discounts, increases in the cost of beef as well as an increase in
waste, consisting of prepared food items not sold due to product hold time
requirements of the company and spoilage. The coupon and discount program
resulted in an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant sales of
1.6%. These increases were offset by minor decreases in the cost of certain
produce and dairy products.

     RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES, consisting of labor, supplies, utilities,
maintenance, rent and certain other unit level operating expenses, increased to
$6,329,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 from $5,832,000 in the
year-earlier period. The percentage of restaurant sales for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 3, 1999 was 47.6%, compared to 47.0% for the year-earlier period.
Labor costs as a percentage of sales increased by 0.2% over the year-earlier
period. The remainder of the increase was due to increases in repairs and
maintenance costs and other miscellaneous operating costs incurred during the
period.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS which increased to $1,725,000 for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 from $1,644,000 in the year-earlier period,
decreased as a percentage of total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended July
3, 1999 to 11.8% from 12.2% in the same period in 1998. The increase of $81,000
is primarily the result of increased spending in the areas of recruiting and
training in efforts to attract quality employees as well as continuing to
enhance customer service.

     ADVERTISING EXPENSE which increased to $851,000 for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 3, 1999 from $729,000 in the same period in 1998, increased as a
percentage of total revenues to 5.8% from 5.4%. This is the result of an
increase in the number of company-operated restaurants creating the need for
additional local advertising as well as an increase in advertising fees, as
described above, which are used for the development and production of marketing
campaigns and collateral material.

     INTEREST EXPENSE increased 30.0% to $273,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended
July 3, 1999 from $210,000 in the year-earlier period. This is due to a net
increase in long-term debt of $976,000, or 21.2%, since July 4, 1998.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $86,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999
compared to zero in the year-earlier period. In recent profitable years, the
company has been able to offset net income with previous net operating loss
carryforwards. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 the company had
income tax expense based on the calculation of alternative minimum tax.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived and intangible
assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. A new cost
basis is established for impaired assets based on the fair value of these assets
as of the date the assets are determined to be impaired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Capital expenditures totaled $1,578,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July
3, 1999 and $2,831,000 for the same period of 1998. Generally, the company
constructs its restaurant buildings on leased properties for its
company-operated restaurants. The average monthly lease cost for the 18 company-
operated restaurants on leased sites at July 3, 1999 is approximately $3,148 per
month. For the 10 restaurants where the company leases the building as well as
the site, the average monthly lease cost is approximately $4,741.

     Cash from operations for the company is primarily affected by net earnings
adjusted for deferred franchise fees and non-cash expenses which consist
primarily of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization
totaled $647,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999 and $575,000 for
the year-earlier period. This increase is primarily the result of the addition
of four company-operated restaurants and the conversion of three double
drive-thru facilities to dine-in facilities with a single drive-thru since the
year-earlier period.

     Cash provided by operations for the twenty-six week period ended July 3,
1999 and July 4, 1998 was $1,711,000 and $643,000, respectively. Since January
1, 1996, cash from operations and debt have been used for the addition of dining
rooms to certain existing double drive-thru restaurants, new restaurants and
equipment.

     As of July 3, 1999, the company had total long-term debt of $5,576,000 and
unused lines of credit and loan commitments of potential additional borrowings
of $2,230,000.

     The company is planning to spend approximately $3,000,000 on capital
expenditures during 1999 and plans to fund these expenditures through internally
generated cash flow as well as the borrowing commitments secured in 1999 or
before.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

     While the company does not believe that seasonality affects its operations
in a materially adverse manner, first quarter results will generally be lower
than other quarters due to seasonal climate conditions in the locations of many
of its restaurants. Management does not believe that inflation has had a
material effect on income during the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999.
Increases in food, labor or other



                                       11

operating costs could adversely affect the company's operations should
comparable menu price increases not be sustainable.

CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK

     The company's preferred stockholders have the right to convert preferred
stock to common stock, and the company anticipates that all shares of preferred
stock will eventually be converted. Such conversion began on July 5, 1995, at
which time there were 1,199,979 shares of preferred stock outstanding. As of
July 3, 1999, only 23,123 shares have yet to be converted.

YEAR 2000

     The fact that many computers and other systems with embedded microchip
processors were programmed to record only the last two digits of the year for
all dates encountered gives rise to the year 2000 issue. On January 1, 2000,
many date-sensitive calculations could potentially go awry, creating substantial
negative ramifications throughout the business world.

     The company has reviewed its computer systems and software and has
identified four major areas that are critical to the company with respect to the
year 2000 issue: (1) communications hardware and software, (2) network
hardware/software and accounting software, (3) point-of-sale terminals, and (4)
key third parties.

     While the company has taken certain actions to address the year 2000 issue,
it has not completed its analysis of the issue. During 1998, the company
upgraded its phone system with a system represented by the outside vendor to be
year 2000 compliant. The company also has communication software in place with
certain financial institutions and is in the process of confirming that such
software is in fact year 2000 compliant. The company has completed a network and
accounting software upgrade, which included the replacement of the existing
network server as well as the replacement and enhancement of certain personal
computers. The company's accounting software is supplied by an outside vendor,
and the vendor has confirmed that the software installed upon upgrading the
network is year 2000 compliant. The company is also in the process of
determining whether certain of its spreadsheet and database software will need
to be upgraded during 1999. The company estimates the total cost of the software
and hardware enhancements and upgrades necessary to become year 2000 compliant
to be approximately $30,000.

     All existing point-of-sale terminals used by the company and its
franchisees have been represented by outside suppliers to be year 2000 compliant
and all terminals currently being installed are also in compliance.

     One of the greatest risks of year 2000 exists within the supply chain of
most businesses, and relates to year 2000 compliance by key third parties,
including food product suppliers, energy providers and others. These parties are
crucial to the continuing operations of the company. There is a certain amount
of uncontrollable risk associated with third party year 2000 readiness; however,
the company plans to gain assurance from key third parties, including all
franchisees and their suppliers, as to their year 2000 compliance efforts via
written confirmation by September 30, 1999.

     The failure by the company to properly address its internal year 2000
issues or the inability of outside parties to supply goods and services
necessary to produce and sell the company's products could have a material
adverse impact on the results of operations, liquidity and the financial
condition of the company. These problems could ultimately result in the
cessation of material operations for an unknown period of time.

     Although no formal contingency plan is currently in place, the company's
goals are to: (1) achieve internal year 2000 readiness with respect to all
material operations prior to October 31, 1999, (2) appropriately address any
material concerns over third party readiness with qualified alternate suppliers
as necessary, also prior to October 31, 1999, and (3) continue to monitor the
year 2000 issue and take all appropriate actions through early 2000.

KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

     Labor will continue to be a critical factor for the company in the
foreseeable future. In most areas where the company operates restaurants, there
is a shortage of suitable labor. This, in itself, could result in higher wages
as the competition for employees intensifies, not only in the restaurant
industry, but in



                                       12


<PAGE>   13



practically all retail and service industries. It will be crucial for the
company to develop and maintain programs to attract and retain quality
employees.

     During the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999, there were increases in the
cost of beef; however, management of the company expects the costs of beef and
chicken to continue to rise in the future, and that it will be difficult to
raise menu prices to fully cover these anticipated increases due to the
competitive state of the quick-service restaurant industry. Additional margin
improvements would have to be made through operational improvements, equipment
advances and increased volumes to help offset these potential increases.

     Due to the competitive nature of the restaurant industry, site selection
will become more difficult as an increasing number of businesses will be vying
for locations with similar characteristics. This could result in higher
occupancy costs for prime locations.

     Same-store sales increased 2.0% during the first twenty-six week period of
1999. The company implemented a balanced marketing strategy focused on
increasing guest awareness and increasing the frequency of guest visits. The
company will continue this strategy in 1999, however, there are no assurances
that the increases in same-store sales will continue.

     The future success of the company will be determined, to a great extent, by
its ability to positively address these issues.

1.   AGREEMENT/LEASE: Amplicon, Inc. ("Amplicon") agrees to lease to Lessee the
     hardware, software and/or other equipment ("Property") described on the
     Lease Schedule (s) ("Schedule(s)") referencing this Lease Agreement
     ("Agreement") and Lessee agrees to lease from Amplicon the Property subject
     to the terms set forth herein and on each Schedule(s) that the parties may
     from time to time enter into with respect to this Agreement. Each Schedule
     identified as being a part of this Agreement incorporates the terms of this
     Agreement and constitutes a separate lease agreement and is referred to
     herein as the "Lease." The Lease is in force and is binding upon Lessee and
     Amplicon upon signed acceptance by Amplicon.

2.   UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Lessee acknowledges that it has
     received and approved any written "Supply contract" covering the Property
     purchased from the Supplier for lease and Amplicon has informed or advised
     Lessee, either previously or by this lease, of the following: (i) the
     identity of the Supplier; (ii) that Lessee may have rights under the Supply
     Contract; and (iii) that Lessee may contact the Supplier for a description
     of any such rights. This Lease is a "Finance Lease." (The terms "Finance
     Lease," "Supply Contract" and "Supplier" as used in this Lease have the
     meanings only as ascribed to them under Division 10 of the California
     Uniform Commercial Code and have no effect on any tax or accounting
     treatment of the Lease). This provision survives termination of the Lease.

3.   NO WARRANTIES: AMPLICON IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER, DEVELOPER, PUBLISHER,
     DISTRIBUTOR, LICENSOR OR "SUPPLIER" OF THE PROPERTY AND MAKES NO EXPRESS OR
     IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO FITNESS, QUALITY, DESIGN,
     CONDITION, CAPACITY, SUITABILITY, VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR PERFORMANCE OF
     THE PROPERTY OR THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREOF OR AGAINST INTERFERENCE
     BY LICENSORS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, IT BEING AGREED THAT THE PROPERTY IS
     LEASED "AS IS" AND THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. Lessee
     selected the Property and represents that all the Property is suitable for
     Lessee's purposes. Amplicon assigns to Lessee during the term of the lease
     any warranty rights it may have received from the Supplier as a result of
     Amplicon's purchase of the Property. If Lessee has any claims regarding the
     Property or any other matter arising from Lessee's relationship with the
     Supplier, Lessee must make them against the Supplier. This provision
     survives termination of the Lease.

4.   AUTHORIZATION DATE AND LEASE DURATION: A Schedule commences and rent is due
     beginning on the date that Lessee certifies in writing to Amplicon that all
     of the Property has been received and accepted by Lessee as installed,
     tested and ready for use, and Lessee authorizes Amplicon in writing to
     disburse payment to the Supplier ("Authorization Date"). Unless and until
     Lessee provides such written authorization, Amplicon will not disburse
     payment to Suppliers. The Term of each Schedule is reflected on the
     Schedule and begins on the first day of the calendar quarter following the
     Authorization Date. A calendar quarter commences on the first day of
     January, April, July and October. Lessee has the right to use the Property
     at the specific locations shown on the Schedule throughout the duration of
     this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The Term
     extends for an additional twelve month period ("Extension Term") at the
     rental rate delineated on the Schedule unless Lessee provides to Amplicon
     written notice of Lessee's election not to extend the Term at least one
     hundred eighty days prior to the expiration of the Term.

5.   RENTALS: The rent payable is shown on the Schedule(s). The quarterly rent
     is due to Amplicon, in advance, for each quarter or portion of a quarter
     beginning on the Authorization Date and continuing for each quarter that
     this Lease is in effect. Rent for portions of a quarter are based on a
     daily rental equal to one-ninetieth of the quarterly rent. ALL RENTS SHALL
     BE PAID WITHOUT NOTICE OR DEMAND AND WITHOUT ABATEMENT, DEDUCTION OR SETOFF
     OF ANY AMOUNT WHATSOEVER. THE OPERATION AND USE OF THE PROPERTY IS SOLELY
     AT THE RISK OF LESSEE AND THE OBLIGATION OF LESSEE TO PAY RENT UNDER THE
     LEASE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
     APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
     CONFERRED UPON LESSEE BY LAW: (I) RIGHT TO CANCEL OR TERMINATE THIS LEASE,
     (II) RIGHT TO REJECT THE PROPERTY, (III) RIGHT TO REVOKE ACCEPTANCE OF THE
     PROPERTY, (IV) RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES FROM AMPLICON FOR ANY BREACH OF
     WARRANTY, AND (V) RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

     Rents will be paid to Amplicon unless otherwise instructed in writing by
     Amplicon or its assignee.

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

6.   INDEMNITY: Lessee assumes liability for, and agrees at its own expense to
     indemnify and defend Amplicon, its employees, officers, directors and
     assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
     and expenses (including legal expenses) of every kind or nature (including,
     without limitation, claims based upon strict liability) arising out of the
     use, condition (including latent and other defects, whether or not
     discoverable by Lessee or Amplicon), operation or ownership of any items of
     Property (including, without limitation, any claim for patent, trademark or
     copyright infringement) or for any interruptions of service, loss of
     business or consequential damages. These indemnities and assumptions
     survive the termination of this Lease.

7.   PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS BY AMPLICON: If Lessee fails to perform
     any of its obligations under this Lease, Amplicon may, at its option
     perform them for Lessee without waiving Lessee's default. Any amount paid
     by Amplicon, and any expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) or any
     other liability incurred by Amplicon as a result of its performance of
     Lessee's obligations will be payable by Lessee to Amplicon upon demand.

8.   FURTHER ASSURANCES AND NOTICES: Lessee's signing of this Lease constitutes
     a firm offer. In consideration of Amplicon's time and effort in reviewing
     and acting on the offer, Lessee agrees that its offer is irrevocable for
     twenty business days after Amplicon's receipt of the offer and of all
     credit information requested by Amplicon. Amplicon's signing of the Lease,
     including the Schedule, constitutes acceptance of Lessee's offer. Lessee
     agrees to sign and provide any documents which Amplicon deems necessary for
     the signing and filing of Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Financing
     Statements (which Lessee agrees may be signed by Amplicon on Lessee's
     behalf). Lessee authorizes Amplicon to insert applicable dates as necessary
     to complete all documentation for the Lease. Prior to Amplicon's acceptance
     of the Lease and for the duration of the Lease, Lessee agrees to promptly
     provide Amplicon with all credit information reasonably requested by
     Amplicon including, but not limited to, comparative audited financial
     statements for the most current annual and interim reporting periods.
     Lessee's failure to provide such information to Amplicon is an event of
     default under the Lease. ALL NOTICES TO AMPLICON MUST BE IN WRITING AND
     SENT CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED TO THE ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE OR
     SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS TO WHICH LESSEE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING.

9.   DEFAULT: If rent or any other amount is not paid within ten days of its due
     date, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
     unpaid amount. Each month thereafter, past due amounts remaining unpaid
     hereunder shall bear interest at the lesser of one and one half percent
     1 1/2%) per month, compounded monthly or the maximum rate allowed by law.
     An Event of Default shall occur if: (a) Lessee fails to pay any rent or
     other payment under the Lease when due and the failure continues for ten
     days; (b) Lessee fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or
     obligations in this Lease other than Lessee's rental obligations, and such
     failure is not cured within ten days after written notice has been
     provided; (c) Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
     files any petition or takes any action under any bankruptcy, reorganization
     or insolvency laws; (d) an involuntary petition is filed under any
     bankruptcy statute against Lessee or any receiver, trustee or custodian is
     appointed to take possession of Lessee's properties, unless such petition
     or appointment is set aside or withdrawn within sixty days of said filing
     or appointment; (e) Lessee attempts to or does remove, transfer, sell,
     sublicense, encumber, part with possession, or sublet any of the Property;
     (f) Lessee attempts to assign or transfer this Lease or its interest under
     the Lease or moves any of the Property from the locations(s) set forth on
     the Schedule without Amplicon's prior written consent; or (g) Lessee
     undergoes a sales, buyout, change in control, or change in ownership of any
     type, form or manner which, as judged solely by Amplicon, results in a
     material deterioration in Lessee's credit worthiness.

10.  REMEDIES: Upon an Event of Default, Amplicon may exercise at its sole
     option any one or more of the remedies permitted by law, including but not
     limited to the following: (a) through legal action, enforce performance by
     Lessee of the applicable covenants and obligations of this Lease or recover
     damages for the breach of those covenants or obligations; (b) terminate the
     Lease and Lessee's rights under the Lease; (c) by notice in writing to
     Lessee, recover all amounts due on or before the date Amplicon declared
     this Lease to be in default, plus, as liquidated damages for the loss of a
     bargain and not as a penalty, accelerate and declare to be immediately due
     and payable all rentals and other sums payable under the Lease without any
     presentment, demand, protest or further notice (all of which are hereby
     expressly waived by Lessee), at which time the same shall become
     immediately due and payable; and (d) take immediate possession of the
     Property, or any part of the Property, from Lessee free from claims by
     Lessee. In the case of Software, it is agreed that Lessee's unauthorized
     use, disclosure, or transfer of the Software will cause Amplicon
     significant damages which, at the time the parties enter the lease, are
     impossible to quantify or predict. Therefore, if Lessee is found to be
     using (in any manner) all or any portion of the Software after the
     termination of this Lease, or if Supplier terminates a license of Lessee's
     right to use the Software for an alleged breach of the use, disclosure, or
     transfer restrictions imposed on Lessee, the parties hereby agree that
     liquidated damages shall be payable immediately by Lessee to Amplicon in an
     amount which is equal to two times the amount paid by Amplicon for the
     Software. The exercise of any of the foregoing remedies by Amplicon will
     not constitute a termination of this Lease unless Amplicon so notifies
     Lessee in writing. If Amplicon repossesses the Property, Amplicon may rent
     or sell the Property in such a manner and at such times as Amplicon may
     determine and without notice to Lessee. In the event Amplicon rents the
     property, any rentals received by Amplicon for the remaining Term(s) of the
     Schedule shall be applied to the payment of: (i) all costs and expenses
     including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Amplicon in enforcing its
     remedies under this Lease, and (ii) the rentals for the remainder of the
     Term(s) and all other sums then remaining unpaid under this Lease. All
     rentals received by Amplicon for the period commencing after the remaining
     Term(s) shall be retained by Amplicon. Lessee will remain liable to
     Amplicon to the extent that the aggregate amount of the sums referred to in
     clauses (i) and (ii) above exceed the aggregate rentals received by
     Amplicon under such agreements for the remaining Term(s) applicable to the
     Property covered by such agreements. In the event that Amplicon sells the
     Property, the proceeds will be applied to the sum of: (1) all costs and
     expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Amplicon in
     enforcing its remedies under this Lease and in disposing of the Property,
     (2) the rentals accrued under this Lease, but unpaid up to the time of such
     disposition, (3) any and all other sums other than rentals then owing to
     Amplicon by Lessee under the Lease, and (4) the stipulated value as would
     be determined in the event of a Casualty Occurrence (as defined in the
     terms and conditions to the Schedule) on the date of the Property's
     disposition. The remaining balance of such proceeds, if any, will be
     applied first to reimburse Lessee for any sums previously paid by Lessee as
     liquidated damages (as set forth in (c) above), and any remaining amounts
     will be retained by Amplicon. Lessee will remain liable to Amplicon to the
     extent that the aggregate amount of the sums referred to in clauses (1)
     through (4) above exceeds the proceeds received by Amplicon in connection
     with the disposition of the Property. Amplicon's remedies under this Lease
     shall not be deemed exclusive. Waiver of any default or breach of this
     Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of subsequent or continuing
     defaults or breaches.

11.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION: THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES, WHETHER BASED IN
     TORT OR CONTRACT, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE (COLLECTIVELY,
     "LEASE DISPUTES") WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
     OFFICE OF ENDISPUTE, INC., DBA J-A-M-S/ENDISPUTE ("JAMS") FOR A TRIAL OF
     ALL ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT CONDUCTED BY A RETIRED JUDGE OR JUSTICE FROM THE
     PANEL OF JAMS, APPOINTED PURSUANT TO A GENERAL REFERENCE UNDER CALIFORNIA
     CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638(1) (OR ANY AMENDMENT, ADDITION OR
     SUCCESSOR SECTION THERETO) UNLESS AMPLICON OR ITS ASSIGNEE SELECTS AN
     ALTERNATIVE FORUM. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE ON A MEMBER OF THE
     JAMS PANEL, THEN ONE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE
     CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT FOR THE COUNT OF ORANGE. IN THE EVENT THAT JAMS
     IN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE CEASES TO EXIST, THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL
     LEASE DISPUTES WILL BE FILED AND CONDUCTED IN THE CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT
     FOR THE COUNT OF ORANGE, UNLESS AMPLICON OR ITS ASSIGNEE SELECTS AN
     ALTERNATIVE FORUM. LESSEE AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF
     THE CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT FOR ALL LEASE DISPUTES. LESSEE WAIVES ITS
     RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
     LEASE. If any party to this Lease brings any action to enforce any of the
     terms, or to recover for any breach, then the prevailing party is entitled
     to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
     including all JAMS related costs and costs of collection (including
     judgment enforcement and collection costs).

12.  MISCELLANEOUS: All agreements, representations and warranties contained in
     this Lease, or in any document or certificate delivered pursuant to or in
     connection with this Lease, shall expressly survive the termination of this
     Lease. If any provision of this Lease is determined by competent authority
     to be unenforceable, such determination shall not invalidate the remaining
     provisions of the Lease. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee
     waives any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited
     or unenforceable in any respect. This Lease has been entered into and shall
     be performed in California and, therefore, THIS LEASE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
     ACCORDANCE WITH AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
     CALIFORNIA (EXCLUSIVE OF PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS). Time is of the
     essence of this Lease and each provision thereof.

                            AND LEASE SCHEDULE NO. 01

This Addendum is supplemental to and made a part of Lease Agreement Order No.
OL-10575, dated May 6, 1999 (the "Agreement"), Lease Schedule No. 01, dated N/A
and other related documents under the Agreement and Lease Schedule (collectively
the "Lease"). The parties to the Lease include Back Yard Burgers, Inc.
("Lessee") and Amplicon, Inc. ("Amplicon").

Capitalized terms used in this Addendum without definition shall have the
meanings set forth in the Lease, unless specifically modified. This Addendum is
to be construed as supplemental to, and a part of, the Lease.

Lessee and Amplicon acknowledge and agree that the Lease is hereby amended with
respect to Lease Schedule No. 01, as follows:

         Section J.  USE, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY:

         In line two (2) delete the words, "keep in force for the duration of
         the Lease the best standard Supplier's maintenance agreement(s) which
         will cause the supplier(s) to"

         In line three (3) delete the words, "in accordance with such
         maintenance agreement(s) and entitle Lessee (through Amplicon, if
         necessary) to obtain available enhancements, updates, upgrades and
         changes." and replace it with "to maintain the satisfactory operation
         of the Property throughout the Term of the Lease."

         ADD THE FOLLOWING SECTION TO THE LEASE SCHEDULE

         Section Q. EARLY TERMINATION/PURCHASE OPTION:

         Provided no event of default, as the same is more fully described in
         the Lease, has occurred or is continuing, Amplicon and Lessee hereby
         agree that Lessee may, at its sole option and with at lest ninety (90)
         days prior written notice to Amplicon, elect to exercise the Early
         Termination/Purchase Option as more fully described herein. The first
         date (the "First Exercise Date") on which Lessee may exercise the Early
         Termination/Purchase Option shall occur at the end of the Twelfth (12)
         month of the Term of the Lease; if not exercised on that date, by
         providing written notice to Amplicon as specified herein, Lessee shall
         have the same option at the end any quarter through the 51st month (the
         "Last exercise date"). If Lessee does not elect to exercise the Early
         Termination/Purchase Option on or prior to the Last Exercise Date Early
         Termination/Purchase Option shall be null and void, and all other
         provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

         Provided that Lessee has satisfied all of the foregoing conditions and
         in order to exercise the Early Termination Option, Lessee shall pay to
         Amplicon the total payment of:

         1.       all rentals accrued under this Lease, but unpaid up to the
                  Exercise Date;

         2.       the "Termination amount" equal to the present value of all
                  remaining rental obligations discounted at 5% per year, and
                  exercise either option (I) or (II) according to the terms and
                  conditions of the Lease Schedule.

         3.       all applicable taxes and any and all other sums other than
                  rentals then owing to Amplicon by Lessee under the Lease;

In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Lease, as originally
written, shall remain in full force and effect. The Lease, as amended herein,
sets forth the entire and final understanding between the parties with respect
hereto. The terms of the Addendum have been negotiated and jointly drafted by
Amplicon and Lessee and, therefore, the language of the Addendum shall not be
construed in favor or against either party. The undersigned represent that they
have the authority to enter into the Lease, and that the same shall be legally
binding and enforceable on the respective principals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto, by their authorized signatories have
executed this Addendum at the date set forth below their respective signatures.

<PAGE>   5

H.   RIGHT TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY: Amplicon may during reasonable business
     hours enter upon any premises where the Property is located to confirm
     compliance with the terms of the lease.

I.   TAXES ON THE PROPERTY: All fees, assessments and taxes (except those based
     upon the net income of Amplicon) which may now or hereafter become due or
     are imposed upon the ownership, sale, possession and/or use of the Property
     are to be paid by Lessee. While Lessee will be responsible for payment of
     all personal property taxes, Amplicon will file all personal property tax
     returns. Amplicon is not responsible for contesting any valuation of, or
     tax imposed on, the Property (but may do so strictly as an accommodation to
     Lessee) and will not be liable or accountable to Lessee therefor. Amplicon
     retains any and all federal and state tax credits or benefits relating to
     the Property.

J.   USE, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY: Lessee at its own expense,
     will provide a suitable place for the operation of the Property, and keep
     in force for the duration of the Lease the best standard Supplier's
     maintenance agreement(s) which will cause the Supplier(s) to make all the
     necessary repairs, adjustments, and replacements in accordance with such
     maintenance agreement(s) and entitle Lessee (through Amplicon, if
     necessary) to obtain available enhancements, updates, upgrades and changes.

K.   ADDITIONS AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROPERTY: All additions and
     modifications to the Property become a part of the Property and are owned
     by Amplicon. Software, as described on any Schedule(s), includes all
     updates, revisions, upgrades, new versions, enhancements, modifications,
     derivative works, maintenance fixes, translations, adaptations, and copies
     of the foregoing or of the original version of the Software whether
     obtained from the Supplier, licensor or from any source whatsoever, and
     references in this Lease to Software will be interpreted as references to
     any and all of the foregoing. All additions and modifications to the
     Property must be free and clear of any liens or rights of other parties.

L.   INSURING THE PROPERTY: While the Property is in transit and for the
     duration of the Lease, Lessee at its own expense shall maintain (i)
     comprehensive public liability insurance (naming Amplicon or its assigns as
     additional insured) for bodily injury and property damage resulting from
     the maintenance, use or transport of the Property and (ii) property and
     casualty insurance (naming Amplicon and/or its assigns as sole loss payee)
     covering all risks of loss or damage to the Property from any cause
     whatsoever including, without limitation, fire and theft. All insurance
     will be from an insurer(s) and in a form and amount satisfactory to
     Amplicon. Lessee shall deliver to Amplicon the original policies or
     certificates of such insurance (and each renewal or replacement thereof)
     and evidence of the payment of the premiums for such insurance policies.
     All policies will provide that no cancellation or material modification of
     such insurance shall be effective without thirty days prior written notice
     to Amplicon.

M.   RISK OF LOSS TO THE PROPERTY: While the Property is in transit and
     throughout the duration of the Lease, Lessee assumes all responsibility for
     loss or damage or other Casualty Occurrence, as defined herein, to the
     Property and shall hold Amplicon harmless. A Casualty Occurrence occurs if,
     for any reason whatsoever, any of the Property is lost, stolen,
     requisitioned, taken, confiscated, destroyed or irreparably damaged by any
     cause whatsoever. In the case of Software, the erasure, inoperability or
     other incapacity of the Software triggered by a preprogrammed termination
     of limiting design or routine embedded in the Software is also deemed a
     Casualty Occurrence. In the event of a Casualty Occurrence as to any
     Property, Lessee will immediately inform Amplicon in writing. On the next
     succeeding rental payment date, Lessee will (i) either replace the Property
     with like-kind Property, free and clear of any liens or rights of other
     parties, acceptable to Amplicon or Amplicon's assignee and continue to pay
     all rentals without interruption as they come due, or (ii) pay to Amplicon
     all past due rentals and other amounts then late or due and an amount equal
     to the stipulated value as determined by the Casualty Schedule annexed to
     the Lease ("Stipulated Value"). When Lessee makes this payment to Amplicon,
     the rentals cease to accrue and the Lease with respect to that Schedule
     ends. Insurance proceeds received by Amplicon as a result of a Casualty
     Occurrence will be applied to reduce Lessee's obligation to pay the
     Stipulated Value.

N.   OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY: Amplicon at all times retains ownership, title
     and/or control over Lessee's right to use the Property in accordance with
     the terms of the Lease. Lessee shall protest and defend, at its own
     expense, Amplicon's title and/or rights in the Property against all claims
     and liens and keep the Property free and clear of all such claims and
     liens. The Property is and shall remain personal property of Amplicon. To
     the extent Software is being provided to Lessee solely because of payments
     made by Amplicon to the Supplier and, accordingly, Lessee agrees that
     Amplicon has an interest in the license. Lessee agrees that if it or any of
     its affiliates receives anything of value from the Supplier (including
     without limitation, a trade-in, substitution, discount or upgrade
     allowance) other than Lessee's rights to use the Software reflected on the
     Schedule for the duration of this Lease, Lessee will advise Amplicon and
     pay to Amplicon an amount equal to such additional value obtained by
     Lessee. Lessee agrees that it will not surrender, transfer or modify the
     license agreement without first obtaining the written consent of Amplicon.

O.   RETURN OF PROPERTY: If Lessee elects to return the Property as provided for
     in the Lease, Lessee will discontinue the use of the Property, pay to
     Amplicon an inspection refurbishment and restocking fee equal to five
     percent of the Property's original cost, and immediately, at its own
     expense, ship the Property, with all manuals, cables, cartons and packing
     materials as originally furnished by Supplier, to a location within the
     United States in accordance with the Property return instructions provided
     by Amplicon. In the case of Software, Lessee will destroy all intangible
     Software items, and deliver to Amplicon all tangible items constituting
     Software. At Amplicon's request, Lessee will also certify in a written form
     acceptable to Amplicon that: (i) all tangible Software has been delivered
     to Amplicon; (ii) all intangible records have been destroyed; (iii) Lessee
     has not retained the Software in any form; (iv) Lessee will not use the
     Software after termination and (v) Lessee has not received from Supplier(s)
     anything of value relating to or in exchange for Lessee's use, rental or
     possession of the Software during the duration of the Lease (including a
     trade-in, substitution or upgrade allowance). Until Lessee has complied
     with all of the requirements of this Section, rent payment obligations will
     continue from month to month at the rental rate delineated on the Schedule.

P.   ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE AND/OR PROPERTY: AMPLICON MAY ASSIGN ANY OF ITS RIGHTS
     IN THE LEASE AND/OR THE PROPERTY TO AN ASSIGNEE ("ASSIGNEE"). LESSEE HEREBY
     CONSENTS TO SUCH ASSIGNMENT AND FURTHER AGREES AS FOLLOWS: (1) ASSIGNEE
     DOES NOT ASSUME ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF AMPLICON UNDER THE LEASE; (2) TO
     PAY ALL ASSIGNED MONIES DUE UNDER THE LEASE UNCONDITIONALLY WITHOUT OFFSET
     AND LESSEE FURTHER AGREES THAT SUCH MONIES SHALL BE PAYABLE NOTWITHSTANDING
     ANY DEFENSE OR COUNTERCLAIM WHATSOEVER WHETHER BY REASON OF BREACH OF THE
     LEASE, THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT HEREUNDER, OR OTHERWISE, WHICH LESSEE MAY
     NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AGAINST AMPLICON (LESSEE RESERVES ITS RIGHT TO ASSERT
     ANY SUCH DEFENSE OR COUNTERCLAIM DIRECTLY AGAINST AMPLICON); (3) TO PROVIDE
     AMPLICON WITH A COPY OF ANY NOTICES SENT BY LESSEE TO ASSIGNEE UNDER THE
     LEASE; (4) THAT SUBJECT TO AND WITHOUT IMPAIRMENT OF LESSEE'S LEASEHOLD
     RIGHTS IN AND TO THE PROPERTY COVERED UNDER THE LEASE; LESSEE SHALL HOLD
     SAID PROPERTY AND THE POSSESSION THEREOF FOR THE ASSIGNEE TO THE EXTENT OF
     THE ASSIGNEE'S RIGHTS THEREIN, AND (5) SUCH ASSIGNMENT DOES NOT CHANGE
     LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE OR INCREASE THE BURDEN AND RISKS
     IMPOSED ON LESSEE. WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF AMPLICON, LESSEE
     SHALL NOT ASSIGN THIS LEASE OR ITS INTEREST IN THE LEASE IN ANY FORM OR
     MANNER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AN ASSIGNMENT DUE TO A SALE, MERGER,
     LIQUIDATION, SUB-LEASE, LEVERAGED BUYOUT, CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR
     CHANGE-IN-CONTROL.
