OVERVIEW
The Company currently operates eight steakhouse restaurants. Four are
located in Omaha, Nebraska and one is located in each of Lincoln, Nebraska,
Santa Fe, New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Scottsdale, Arizona. The
Omaha restaurants were opened in September 1989, January 1992, December 1992,
and January 1996. The Santa Fe restaurant was opened in April 1994, the Lincoln
restaurant in December 1994, the Albuquerque restaurant in February 1995, and
the Scottsdale restaurant in December 1995. The discussion of financial
condition and results of operations included in the paragraphs that follow
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial
statements contained in this report.
On July 22, 1994, the Company purchased a 49% stock interest in the five
restaurant corporations (the "Group") owned by two former stockholders-employees
at a purchase price plus related costs of approximately $643,000, and on August
1, 1994, a former stockholder of the Company exchanged his 51% interest in the
Group for 549,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company used the
purchase method of accounting for the acquisition of the 49% stock interest, and
the exchange with the former stockholder was accounted for at historical cost.
Also on August 1, 1994, the Company sold 550,000 shares of its common stock to
an investor for $1,500,000. The number of shares referred to in this paragraph
reflect a recapitalization of the Company effective November 30, 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
To facilitate a meaningful comparison, the following discussion and
analysis is based on the combined historical results of Austins Steaks & Saloon,
Inc. and Austins Steaks & Saloon Group ("Group"). The accompanying historical
statement of operations data for Austins Steaks & Saloon, Inc. for the year
ended December 31, 1994 reflects the results of operations of the Company's five
restaurants for the period subsequent to their acquisition on July 22, 1994.
The historical statement of operations data for the Group reflects the results
of operations of the Company's predecessor through July 22, 1994. Pro forma
adjustments have been made to the statements of operations to reflect a
provision for federal and state income taxes as if the Group had been treated as
a "C" corporation.
The following table presents the major components of the statement of
operations on a historical combined basis and expressed as a percentage of
revenues, and should be used in reviewing the discussion and analysis of results
of operations.

The Company's revenues and expenses can be significantly affected by the
number and timing of the opening of additional restaurants. The timing of the
restaurant openings can also affect net sales and other period-to-period
comparisons. Interim period results can also be affected by seasonality.
During recent fiscal years, the Company's sales have been higher during the
second and third quarters than during the first and fourth quarters, although
not significantly. The Company capitalizes pre-opening costs and amortizes them
over a twelve-month period commencing with the restaurant opening. Pre-opening
costs consist of the incremental costs of hiring and training the initial work
force and other direct costs associated with opening a new restaurant.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $9.5 million, a 7%
increase from $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1994 include the operations of four restaurants for
the full year, a fifth restaurant (Santa Fe) for nine months, and a sixth
restaurant (Lincoln) for one month. For the year ended December 31, 1995, net
sales include the operations of six restaurants for the full year, a seventh
restaurant (Albuquerque) for
<PAGE>
ten months, and an eighth restaurant (Scottsdale) for 10 days. The increase in
net sales is due to the additional restaurants in operation during 1995,
partially offset by a 13% decrease in sales during 1995 at the four restaurants
open during all of 1994 and 1995.
Cost of sales (primarily food, beverages, and direct labor) increased 4% to
$6.5 million for the period ending December 31, 1995 from $6.3 million for the
comparable 1994 period. This increase is due primarily to the additional
restaurants in operation in 1995, as described above. As a percentage of net
sales, these costs approximated 68.3% in 1995 compared to 70.6% in 1994. This
percentage decrease relates mainly to improved food and beverage margins due
primarly to better pricing and improved controls to reduce waste and spoilage.
Restaurant operating expenses were $2.1 million, or 22.2% of net sales, for
the year ended December 31, 1995, a 56% increase from $1.4 million, or 15% of
net sales, in the comparable period in 1994. These expenses represent primarily
the costs of occupancy, including rent, maintenance, and utilities, and various
other costs. The increase, as a percentage of net sales, is attributed mainly
to a decline in the average revenue per unit, and the associated effect that
these relatively fixed costs have on operating margins. Increased advertising
during the second half of the year also contributed to the percentage increase
in operating expenses.
Amortization of pre-opening costs increased to $310,000, or 3.3% of net
sales, for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to $94,000, or 1.1% of net
sales, for the same 1994 period. The increase in absolute dollars is due to a
higher number of new restaurants in operation during 1995 compared to 1994. The
increase as a percentage of net sales results from higher pre-opening costs
related to the Company's Lincoln and Albuquerque restaurants, and the decrease
in the average sales per restaurant, as described above.
General and administrative costs increased 15.3% to $945,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 compared to $819,000 for the comparable 1994 period. As
a percentage of net sales, these costs rose to 9.9% in 1995 from 9.3% in 1994.
This increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales is primarily
related to the Company having a full complement of corporate personnel for the
full year of 1995 versus only 6 months of comparable staffing during 1994, as
more fully described later in this document.
Depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 1995
increased to $330,000, or 3.5% of net sales, from $237,000, or 2.7% of net
sales, for the year ended December 31, 1994, a 39% increase. The increase in
absolute dollars is attributed to the increased number of restaurants in
operation during 1995. The increase as a percentage of net sales is due to the
decreased average revenue per unit and the relatively fixed nature of the
depreciation and amortization costs.
The Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 approximated
$568,000. Two of the Company's newer units located in Lincoln, Nebraska and
Albuquerque, New Mexico did not perform as anticipated, generating combined
pretax operating losses of $467,000. Further, the Company's more mature
restaurants experienced same-store sales declines which decreased the
contribution from those units. Increased competition (especially in the
Company's core Omaha, Nebraska market), road construction near the Company's
second highest volume unit, and a
<PAGE>
continued soft retail environment contributed to the decrease. In view of these
negative trends, and in an effort to heighten the customers' perceived value,
the Company increased its costs related to advertising, training, portion sizes,
and service, which further eroded the operating margins during 1995,
COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1993
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased 45% to $8.9
million from $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. Net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1993 include the operations of three restaurants for
the full year and a fourth restaurant (Columbia) for two months. Net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1994 include the operations of four restaurants for
the full year, a fifth restaurant (Santa Fe) for nine months, and a sixth
restaurant (Lincoln) for one month. The increase in net sales is primarily due
to the additional restaurants in operation during 1994. Annual sales decreased
0.2% for the three restaurants open during the entire year of 1993 and 1994.
Cost of sales increased to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1994, an increase of 38% from $4.5 million in the comparable 1993 period. This
increase is primarily due to the additional restaurants in operation in 1994, as
discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, these costs decreased from 73.9%
in 1993 to 70.6% in 1994. This 3.3% decrease relates mainly to a percentage
reduction of the food/beverage costs (due to better pricing from increased
purchases of food and beverages), and, to a lesser extent, improved labor costs,
as a percentage of net sales.
Restaurant operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994
increased to approximately $1.4 million, or 15% of net sales, from $866,000, or
14% of net sales in 1993, an increase of 57%. The increase, as a percentage of
net sales, is attributed to higher advertising and occupancy costs of two of the
Company's locations in Columbia and Santa Fe, which opened in November 1993, and
March 1994, respectively.
Amortization of pre-opening costs was $94,000, or 1.1% of net sales, for
the year ended December 31, 1994. Prior to 1994, such costs were expensed as
incurred and not capitalized.
General and administrative costs increased 264% to $819,000 in 1994 from
$225,000 in 1993. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative
expenses increased approximately 5.5% to 9.3% of net sales in 1994, from 3.7% in
1993. During the second and third quarters of 1994, the Company hired
experienced personnel in anticipation of the expansion of its restaurant
business and the Company going public. The resulting increased compensation and
relocation costs have contributed to the increase in these expenses. In
addition, prior to August 1, 1994, Central Development Company ("CDC") provided
all of the Company's management, management information systems, accounting and
administrative services to the Company's restaurants and provided all of the
Company's payroll services, through the first quarter of 1995. In August 1994,
the Company retained its own full-time chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, in order to perform these and other services, which resulted
in an increase in general and administrative costs.
<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization increased to $237,000, or 2.7% of sales, for
the year ended December 31, 1994 from $109,000, or 1.8% of sales, in the
comparable 1993 period. The low depreciation and amortization costs as a
percentage of net sales are due to the Company's restaurants being located in
structures under long-term lease arrangements rather than buying or constructing
facilities.
As a result of the factors described above, 1994 income from operations and
net income as a percentage of net sales have decreased in comparison to 1993.
These declining percentages reflect the Company's increased compensation costs
in anticipation of the expansion of its restaurant business and the Company
going public. Additionally, the Company's Columbia, Missouri restaurant,
representing approximately 14% of total net sales, had a loss from restaurant
operations before income taxes of approximately $172,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994, thus contributing to the declining income from operations and
net income ratios as a percentage of net sales. During 1994, the Company was
unable to generate sufficient sales volume at its Columbia, Missouri restaurant
to make that unit profitable.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The primary inflationary factors affecting the Company's operations include
food and labor costs. A large number of the Company's restaurant personnel are
paid at the federally established minimum wage level, and, accordingly, changes
in such wage level affect the Company's labor costs. To date, inflation has not
had a material impact on operating margins.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company raised approximately $3.4 million (net of offering expenses) in
an initial public offering in January 1995, of which approximately $700,000 was
used to repay debt in the first quarter of 1995. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had utilized substantially all of the proceeds from the initial public
offering to open three additional restaurants, and for working capital needs.
Net cash used by operating activities was $613,000 and $6,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company had a working
capital deficit of $1,122,000 and $724,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The Company does not have significant receivables or inventory.
The Company's capital requirements relate principally to the development of
new restaurants and the operation of existing restaurants. Capital
expenditures for the restaurant construction and related equipment were
$2,342,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $1,051,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The average net capital expenditure for developing a
new Austins Steaks & Saloon restaurant (net of landlord allowances) approximates
$450,000 and additional cash of approximately $120,000 to $150,000 is expended
for pre-opening costs. The actual cost will vary depending on whether the
development is a conversion of an existing facility, or constructed on a build-
to-suit basis, among other factors. The Company currently has, or is
negotiating leases for restaurants in four additional locations.
<PAGE>
The Company currently has a $700,000 term loan with First National Bank of
Omaha, at a variable interest rate which was 8-1/2% at December 31, 1995. As of
December 31, 1995, the outstanding balance on this line of credit was $550,000.
Of this amount, $275,000 was used to purchase the leasehold and other
improvements from the former tenant of the real property on which the Company's
Scottsdale, Arizona restaurant is located, and a favorable sublease of the
property. The total purchase price was $325,000. The Company is searching for
a third party to purchase these rights from the Company, and ultimately become
the Company's landlord for this property. The Company also has $300,000 of
borrowings available to it under a note payable to Norwest Bank Nebraska, N.A.,
which was entered into in January 1996. Currently, the Company has $300,000
outstanding under this note at an interest rate equal to the Norwest National
Money Market Rate. In March 1996, the Company borrowed $200,000 from Roger D.
Sack, a director of the Company, under a demand note with an interest rate equal
to the Norwest Bank Nebraska "Base Rate" plus 1%.
The Company expects that its further expansion will be financed through the
issuance of debt, and from cash flow from operations. Other forms of financing,
such as the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or credit
facilities, may also be utilized. There can be no assurance that such
additional financing will be available to the Company on terms acceptable or
favorable to the Company.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS
The Company currently operates eight steakhouse restaurants, four of which
are located in Omaha, Nebraska, one in Lincoln, Nebraska, one in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, one in Albuquerque, New Mexico and one in Scottsdale, Arizona. During
1994 and 1995, the Company expanded its restaurants to four new cities. As the
Company expands into these and other new areas, there can be no assurance of the
Company's ability to achieve consumer awareness and market acceptance.
Obtaining market acceptance in these and other new markets could require
substantial efforts and expenditures by the Company. Further, because the
Company currently operates only eight restaurants, even one unsuccessful new
restaurant would likely have a significant adverse impact on the Company's
results of operations. On March 21, 1996, the Company closed its Columbia,
Missouri restaurant which was opened in November 1993. This unit was closed due
to the Company's entering into active negotiations with a potential buyer for
this unit and the unit's operating performance that did not meet the Company's
expectations due to increased competition in the Columbia, Missouri market.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not close other of its
restaurants based on such restaurants' operating performance not meeting the
Company's expectations.
Currently, the Company is seeking to raise additional funds for the purpose
of opening new restaurants. There can be no assurance that any additional
financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, when
required by the Company. The inability to obtain such financing would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's plans for expansion.
The casual dining segment of the restaurant industry has experienced rapid
growth recently and the competition among restaurant chains has been intense.
This rapid growth and competition has increased the importance of site selection
in the viability of any new restaurant. The Company's
<PAGE>
ability to identify and obtain optimum sites may be restricted as a result of
the growth and maturation of the casual dining restaurant segment.
The Company intends to continue to open new restaurants. The Company
currently plans to effect its growth principally through the opening of new
restaurants rather than through significant marketing or other efforts to
increase individual restaurant sales levels. If successful in raising
additional funds, the Company intends to have completed or begun construction of
an additional 8 to 14 restaurants by the end of 1998. In addition, the Company
plans to continue expansion of its steakhouse concept in additional markets
thereafter, including the possible development of multiple steakhouse
restaurants in each market it enters. Accordingly, it is possible that the
Company will seek additional financing in the form of debt or equity securities.
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to
the Company on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.
No market studies regarding the commercial feasibility of expanding the
Company's restaurant operations have been conducted, nor are any such studies
planned. Successful expansion of the Company's operations will be largely
dependent upon a variety of factors, some of which are currently unknown or
beyond the Company's control, including: customer acceptance of the Company's
steakhouse restaurant concept; the ability of the Company's management to
identify suitable sites and to negotiate favorable lease terms at such sites;
timely and economic development and construction of restaurants; the hiring,
training and retention of skilled management and other personnel; the ability of
the Company to secure required governmental approvals and permits; the ability
of the Company's management to apply its policies and procedures to a much
larger number of restaurants; the availability of adequate financing; the
general ability to successfully manage growth (including monitoring restaurants,
controlling costs, and maintaining effective quality controls); and the general
state of the economy. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to open new restaurants at the planned rate of expansion, or at all, or that
such newly-opened restaurants can be operated profitably.
The Company believes that operating steakhouse restaurants in more than one
market may give rise to additional expenses associated with managing restaurants
located in multiple markets. Such expenses include: advertising in more than
one market; lease rates and construction costs which may be higher; travel
costs; and other similar expenses. In addition, consumer tastes vary from
market to market in the United States, and there can be no assurance that
consumers will be receptive to the Company's steakhouse concept. Moreover, the
Company's results of operations may be adversely affected by economic conditions
in those regions and other geographic areas into which the Company has recently
expanded or may expand.
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and has one of the highest
failure rates of any industry. Not only will the Company's steakhouse
restaurants compete with other steakhouse restaurants, but with all restaurants
offering moderately priced meals in general. Each time the Company expands into
a new market, it competes directly with other steakhouse restaurants. Many of
these companies have substantially greater marketing capability, name
recognition, and financial resources than those available to the Company.
Intense competition within the industry exists with respect to price, service,
location, and food quality. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully in the future with respect to any of the above
factors.
<PAGE>
The restaurant business is often affected by changes in consumer tastes,
national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, traffic
patterns, and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. In
addition, factors such as inflation, increased food, labor and employee benefit
costs, and the availability of experienced management and hourly employees may
also adversely affect the restaurant industry in general and the Company's
restaurants in particular. Any of such changes may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operating results.
The Company's operating results are dependent in large measure on its
ability to anticipate and react to changes in food costs. Various factors
beyond the Company's control, such as adverse weather conditions, may affect
food costs. While management has been able to anticipate and react to changing
food costs to date through its purchasing practices and menu price adjustments,
there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
The restaurant business is subject to various federal, state, and local
regulations, including those relating to the sale of food and alcoholic
beverages. While the Company to date has not experienced any material
difficulties in obtaining necessary governmental approvals, the failure to
obtain or retain food and liquor licenses or any other governmental approvals
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. In
addition, restaurant operating costs are affected by increases in the minimum
hourly wage, unemployment tax rates, sales taxes, and similar matters over which
the Company has no control. The Company is also subject in certain stages to
"dram shop" statutes, which generally provide a person injured by an
intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that
wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. The Company
carries liquor liability coverage as a part of its existing comprehensive
general liability insurance in all states, including any possible "dram shop"
statutes. Although, the Company has never been named as a defendant in a
lawsuit involving "dram shop" statutes, if the Company is named a defendant in
any such a lawsuit and the plaintiff prevails, the Company could face
significant liability. Any such liability could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations.
The name "Austins" in various formats is subject to substantial use around
the country and is the subject of several competing registrations with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). The Company is in the process of
completing a concurrent use registration with the USPTO. Nonetheless, should
other restaurant operators using names including "Austins" commence and prevail
in proceedings to preclude the Company's use of the name in new markets, the
short-term cost to the Company to change names, signage, menus, and other
advertising material could be significant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. THE COMPANY:
Austins Steaks & Saloon, Inc. ("Austins" or the "Company") was organized as
a Delaware corporation in December 1992 for the purpose of developing
restaurants under the name "Austins Steaks & Saloon, Inc." Austins had no
significant activities through December 31, 1993.
On July 22, 1994, Austins purchased a 49% stock interest in five restaurant
corporations, referred to as Austins Steaks & Saloons ("Group"). The
aggregate cost to Austins for the purchase of those shares was
approximately $643,000. The Company paid $290,000 at closing with another
$290,000 due on January 3, 1995. The remaining amounts due were used to
offset amounts receivable from the sellers at closing, with the balance
paid in August 1994. Austins accounted for this transaction using the
purchase method of accounting. In accordance with the purchase method of
accounting, assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at the estimated
fair values on the date of purchase. The purchase price exceeded the
estimated fair value of the underlying net assets by a total of $119,266
and is being amortized over a period of 15 years. In addition to
intangibles of $405,076 recorded, other assets were increased $20,000 and
all other assets and liabilities had fair values which approximated book
value.
On August 1, 1994, the Company's stockholder who owned the remaining 51% of
the five restaurant corporations exchanged his shares in those corporations
for 699,000 shares of Austins common stock. On November 30, 1994, as part
of a recapitalization of the Company, the stockholder returned 150,000
shares to the Company. Such shares were added to the Company's authorized
and unissued shares of common stock. As a result of the recapitalization,
the stockholder has received 549,000 shares in exchange for the 51%
interest in the five restaurant corporations. Austins has accounted for
this transaction as a combination of entities under common control and
recorded the controlling stockholder's interest in the assets and
liabilities of the separate entities using historical costs.
As a result, Austins has become the owner of all of the outstanding shares
of stock of each restaurant corporation and each such restaurant
corporation has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Austins. Certain
unaudited pro forma financial information regarding the statement of
operations, assuming the above transactions had been completed on January
1, 1994 follows:
Year Ended
December 31, 1994
-----------------
Net sales $8,905,685
Net income $ 18,489
Net income per share $ .02
The above pro forma financial information includes the results of
operations of the Group and of the Company. Pro forma adjustments to net
income have been made to record (i) the amortization related to intangible
assets acquired; and (ii) the provision for federal and state income taxes
(assuming a combined 39% effective rate) as if the Group had been treated
as a C Corporation (as each Corporation in the Group previously was a S
Corporation).

1. THE COMPANY, CONTINUED:
Also, on August 1, 1994, an unrelated investor paid $1.5 million for 50%
(700,000 shares) of Austins outstanding common stock. On November 30,
1994, this investor returned 150,000 shares to the Company in connection
with the recapitalization referred to above. As a result, the investor
received 550,000 shares of common stock for the $1.5 million investment.
The financial statements at December 31, 1994 and for the year then ended
reflect restaurant operating activity from the five restaurant corporations
subsequent to their acquisition by the Company on July 22, 1994, and
activity relating to restaurant corporations in Lincoln, Nebraska and
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
On February 1, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering and
sold 800,000 shares of common stock, with proceeds to the Company of
approximately $3,380,000, net of $240,000 of offering costs associated with
the offering.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
At December 31, 1995, the financial statements include the accounts of
nine restaurant corporations. All significant accounts and
transactions between the restaurants have been eliminated in
consolidation. The following table summarizes the history of
restaurant openings and the formation of related corporations:

Austins Omaha, Inc. Omaha, Nebraska January 1992
Austins 72nd, Inc. Omaha, Nebraska December 1992
Austins Columbia, Inc. Columbia, Missouri November 1993
Austins New Mexico, Inc. Santa Fe, New Mexico April 1994

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
(c) INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes." SFAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the Company's financial statements and tax returns.
(d) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
(e) INVENTORIES:
Inventories consist primarily of food and beverages for sale in the
restaurants. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the average cost method, which is
recalculated monthly.
(f) EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS:
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Equipment
is depreciated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated
useful lives of the related assets which are primarily five to seven
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
(g) PRE-OPENING COSTS:
Labor costs and costs of hiring and training personnel and certain
other costs relating to opening new restaurants are capitalized and
amortized over 12 months using the straight-line method.
(h) UNREDEEMED GIFT CERTIFICATES:
The Company records a liability for outstanding gift certificates at
the time they are issued. Upon redemption, sales are recorded and the
liability is reduced by the amount of the certificates redeemed.
(i) MANAGEMENT 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 assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(j) RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform
to current year presentation.

Liquor licenses acquired in certain states are considered to have unlimited
lives due to state regulations and, accordingly, the acquisition cost of
these licenses has been capitalized and is not amortized. The Company
reviews the continuing value of the licenses on a periodic basis and
provides for impairment if necessary. Organization costs incurred to
establish new legal entities are capitalized and amortized over five years.

fair value at the date of grant, as determined by the Company's Board of
Directors.
In 1994, the Company's two principal stockholders granted options to
purchase shares of their common stock to two employees of the Company.
These nonofficer personnel were each granted an option to purchase 25,000
shares of common stock at a price of $2.75 per share. These options were
terminated in 1995.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
During 1994, an affiliate provided management and administrative services,
including accounting, real estate leasing, and marketing, to the Company
for a fixed monthly fee of $1,000 per restaurant, with the exception of the
Columbia, Missouri location. The affiliate provided payroll services, in
addition to the management and administrative services, to the Columbia
restaurant for a fixed monthly fee of $1,500.
In August 1994, the Company terminated the services arrangements with the
affiliate with the hiring of full-time executive and administrative
personnel. The Company continues to use the affiliate for certain payroll
and accounting services during a transition period. The affiliate is
reimbursed for such services at amounts management believes are reasonable
and comparable to the costs it would incur from unrelated third parties.
Payroll responsibilities were assumed by the Company in the first quarter
of 1995.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED:
In June 1994, the Company's subsidiary, Austins Omaha, Inc., purchased from
unrelated third parties the main restaurant property and two parking
properties it had been leasing for one of its restaurants in Omaha,
Nebraska for $533,000. The Company's sole stockholder, at the time,
guaranteed the loan for these purchases. In August 1994, Austins Omaha,
Inc. sold the properties to an affiliate for the identical amount of
$533,000. The affiliate made certain paving and access improvements to the
properties and leased them to Austins Omaha, Inc. under terms deemed to be
comparable to fair market leases with unaffiliated third parties.
During 1994, the Company also purchased used equipment from an affiliate to
furnish new restaurants. The affiliate charged the Company for the actual
acquisition cost incurred based upon payments made to unrelated third
parties. In instances where the affiliate purchased a package of
equipment, costs were assigned to individual assets based upon the fair
market value of each asset relative to the fair market value of all
equipment purchased. On January 1, 1995, the Company discontinued
purchasing used equipment from the related party.
13. RESTATEMENT:
The 1995 financial statements have been restated to reflect land acquired
through seller financing and a number of manually prepared checks and a
wire transfer that had not been recorded in the Company's books as of
December 31, 1995. The restatement increased previously reported prepaid
expenses by $24,644, equipment and leasehold improvements by $61,253, other
assets by $493,207, cash overdraft by $223,934, note payable by $400,049
and net loss and retained deficit by $44,879.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On March 21, 1996, the Company closed its Columbia, Missouri restaurant.
This restaurant was closed due to its operating performance not meeting the
Company's expectations. The estimated closing cost of $250,000 consists of
the nonrealizable value of the equipment and leasehold improvements,
expected loss on the lease, and the related costs to dispose of the unit.
Net sales and net loss during 1995 were $856,149 and $40,751, respectively.
In March 1996, a director and stockholder loaned the Company $200,000. The
amount is payable upon demand, bearing interest at 1% over the prime rate.
Currently, the Company is seeking to extend the maturities of the Company's
existing debt to make the maturity dates more consistent with the cash
flows of the Company. A major shareholder has expressed the ability and
intent to fund working capital and approved capital expenditure
requirements through December 31, 1996 to the extent that the Company is
not able to fund such requirements with internal funds, refinancing of
existing debt, and additional financing obtained.
