FAMILY STEAK HOUSES OF FLORIDA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2004

(Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and the interim financial information instructions to Form 10-Q,
and do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29,
2004. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have
been eliminated.

Note 2. Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and
April 2, 2003 were computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share for those
periods have been computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, giving effect to all dilutive
potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.
Dilutive shares are represented by shares under option and stock
warrants. Due to the Company's net loss for the quarters ended
March 31, 2004 and April 2, 2003, all potentially dilutive
securities are antidilutive and have been excluded from the
computation of diluted loss per share for the period.
5

Note 3. Other Assets

Other assets consist principally of deferred charges, which
are amortized on a straight-line basis. Deferred charges
and related amortization periods are as follows: financing
costs - term of the related loan, and initial franchise
rights - 40 years.

The gross carrying amount of the deferred financing costs
was $931,800 and $924,000 as of March 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003, respectively. Accumulated amortization related
to deferred financing costs was $228,500 and $216,500 as of
March 31, 2004 and April 2, 2003, respectively.
Amortization expense was $12,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 2004 and April 2, 2003. Amortization expense for
each of the next five years is expected to be $48,100.

The gross carrying amount of the initial franchise rights
was $354,700 as of March 31, 2004. Accumulated
amortization related to initial franchise rights was
$194,800 and $179,800 as of March 31, 2004 and December 31,
2003, respectively. Amortization expense was $30,000 and
$2,500 for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and April 2,
2003, respectively. The Company will amortize the
remaining franchise rights asset over the remaining
fifteen-month conversion period allowed by the Amended
Franchise Agreement (see Note 4 to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2003).

Note 4. Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior interim financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

Note 5. Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation utilizing the
intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board No. 25
(APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The
Company's long-term incentive plan provides for the grant of
stock options and restricted stock. The exercise price of each
option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the
date of grant. Options vest in one-quarter increments over a
four-year period starting on the date of grant. An option's
maximum term is 10 years. See Note 9 "Common Shareholders'
Equity" in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended
6

December 31, 2003 for additional information regarding the
Company's stock options.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". Pursuant
to the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148, the following table
provides an expanded reconciliation for all periods presented:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 2004 versus April 2, 2003

The Company experienced a decrease of 4.4% in sales during
the thirteen weeks of 2004 compared to the first thirteen weeks
of 2003. Same-store sales (average weekly sales in restaurants
that have been operating for at least 18 months) in the first
quarter of 2004 increased 7.3% from the same period in 2003,
compared to a decrease of 11.1% from 2003 as compared to 2002.
The increase in same-store sales was due primarily to an
improving economy, and the closing of three under-performing
stores since the first quarter of 2003.

The costs and expenses of the Company's restaurants include
food and beverage, payroll, payroll taxes and employee benefits,
depreciation and amortization, repairs, maintenance, utilities,
supplies, advertising, insurance, property taxes, rents and
licenses. The Company's food, beverage, payroll, and employee
benefit costs as a percentage of sales are believed to be higher
than the industry average, due to the Company's philosophy of
providing customers with high value of food and service for
every dollar a customer spends. In total, food and beverage,
7


payroll and benefits, depreciation and amortization and other
operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 84.0%
in the first quarter of 2004 from 86.9% in the same quarter of
2003.

Food and beverage costs as a percentage of sales decreased
to 37.5% in 2004 from 38.2% in 2003, due primarily to price
increases implemented by the Company. Payroll and benefit costs
as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.2% in 2004 from 29.9%
in 2003, due to reductions in workers' compensation expenses in
2004. Other operating expenses decreased from 14.0% in 2003 to
13.5% in 2004, due primarily to lower advertising costs.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were 4.8% in both
2004 and 2003. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales increased to 6.6% in the first quarter of
2004 from 6.3% in the same quarter of 2003, due to increased
training expenses in 2004 associated with hiring managers and
employees in preparation for the Company's new Whistle Junction
concept.

Interest expense was $411,000 in the first quarter of 2004
compared to $446,100 in the same quarter of 2003, due to a
reduction in total debt since 2003.

The effective income tax rate for the first three months of
2004 and 2003 was 0.0%.

The Company invests a portion of its available cash in
marketable securities. The Company maintains an investment
account to effect these transactions. Investments are made
based on a combination of fundamental and technical analysis
primarily using a value-based investment approach. The holding
period for investments usually ranges from 60 days to 24 months.
Management occasionally purchases marketable securities using
margin debt. In determining whether to engage in transactions
on margin, management evaluates the risk of the proposed
transaction and the relative returns offered thereby. If the
market value of securities purchased on margin were to decline
below certain levels, the Company would be required to use
additional cash from its operating account to fund a margin call
in its investment account. Management reviews the status of the
investment account on a regular basis and analyzes such margin
positions and adjusts purchase and sale transactions as
necessary to ensure such margin calls are not likely. The
results for the first quarter of 2004 include realized gains
8

from the sale of marketable securities of $23,900, compared to
realized losses of $7,200 in 2003.

The Company recognized a non-cash asset valuation
charge of $594,200 in 2004 in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment of or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." The charge was based on the assessment of one
under-performing restaurant as of March 31, 2004.

Net loss was $330,700 in the first quarter of 2004 ,
compared to net loss of $55,400 in the first quarter of 2003.
Loss per share for the quarter was 9 cents in 2004 compared to
loss per share of 2 cents in 2003.

The Company's operations are subject to seasonal
fluctuations. Revenues per restaurant generally increase from
January through April and decline September through December.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 are not
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 29, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived
from cash sales. Inventories are purchased on credit and are
rapidly converted to cash. Therefore, the Company does not carry
significant receivables or inventories and, other than repayment
of debt, working capital requirements for continuing operations
are not significant.

At March 31, 2004, the Company had a working capital
deficit of $2,789,700 compared to $1,207,800 at December 31,
2003. Cash provided by operating activities increased to
$618,300 in the first quarter of 2004 from $533,400 in the first
quarter of 2003, primarily due to timing differences in the
payments of accrued liabilities.

The Company spent $1,027,400 in the first quarter of 2004
for property and equipment. Capital expenditures for 2004, based
on present costs and plans for capital improvements, are
estimated to be $3.8 million. This amount is based on budgeted
expenditures for leasehold improvements and equipment for one
new restaurant in 2004, remodeling of twelve restaurants to the
Company's new concepts and normal recurring equipment purchases
and minor building improvements ("Capital Maintenance Items")
9

(See Recent Developments below). The Company believes it has
sufficient funds for the construction of one new restaurant
expected to open in 2004 and five of the twelve remodels to the
new concepts. However, the Company's ability to fund
construction of the remodels of the remaining seven restaurants
will be dependent on its ability to raise additional capital.
Should the Company not be able to raise the necessary capital
for remodeling these seven restaurants, it would still be
required to change the name and signs of these restaurants, in
accordance with the amended Franchise Agreement, but capital
requirements for such changes would be minimal.

Management estimates the cost of opening any future new
restaurants to be approximately $2,900,000. To the extent the
Company decides to open new restaurants or remodel its existing
restaurants to its new concept in 2004 and beyond, management
plans to fund any new restaurant construction or remodels either
by GE Capital funding, sales leaseback financing, developer-
funded leases, refinancing existing restaurants, or attempting
to get additional financing from other lenders. The Company's
ability to open new restaurants is also dependent upon its
ability to identify suitable locations at acceptable prices, and
upon certain other factors beyond its control, such as obtaining
building permits from various government agencies. The
sufficiency of the Company's cash to fund operations and
necessary Capital Maintenance Items will depend primarily on
cash provided by operating activities.

In July 2002, the Company completed a sale leaseback
transaction to refinance one of its restaurants in Tampa,
Florida. The Company sold the property for $3.0 million and
paid off its existing mortgage of approximately $1.1 million on
the property. The leaseback of the building was accounted for as
a capital lease and the leaseback of the land is accounted for
as an operating lease, with the deferred gain on the sale being
recognized over the twenty-year life of the lease. The lease
agreement requires annual payments of $330,000, with increases
of 10% every five years. Management is using the proceeds of the
transaction to fund a portion of the construction of a new
restaurant in Orlando, Florida, which opened in May 2004.

The Company has entered into a series of loan agreements
with GE Capital. As of March 31, 2004, the outstanding balance
due under the Company's various loans with GE Capital was
$18,012,600. The weighted average interest rate for the GE
Capital loans is 7.37%.
10

As of May 14, 2004, the Company had contracts for sale of
two closed restaurants, both of which were expected to be sold
in the second quarter of 2004. A third restaurant sold in April
2004, resulting in net cash proceeds of $700,000. If the two
remaining restaurants are sold, net additional cash proceeds of
approximately $200,000 will be realized.

The preceding discussion of liquidity and capital resources
contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and in
addition to the factors discussed herein, among the other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are
the following: failure of facts to conform to necessary
management estimates and assumptions; the willingness of GE
Capital or other lenders to extend financing commitments;
repairs or similar expenditures required for existing
restaurants due to weather or acts of God; the Company's ability
to identify and secure suitable locations on acceptable terms
and open new restaurants in a timely manner; the Company's
success in selling restaurants listed for sale; the economic
conditions in the new markets into which the Company expands;
changes in customer dining patterns; competitive pressure from
other national and regional restaurant chains and other food
vendors; business conditions, such as inflation or a recession,
and growth in the restaurant industry and general economy; and
other risks identified from time to time in the Company's SEC
reports, registration statements and public announcements.

Recent Developments

In December 2003, the Company entered into an amendment to
its franchise agreement with Ryan's Family Steak Houses, Inc.
(the "Franchisor") to terminate the franchise agreement between
the two companies by June 2005. This amendment requires the
Company to convert a specific number of its Ryan's restaurants
each quarter to a new name beginning the first quarter of 2004,
and requires all of the Company's restaurants to be renamed by
June 2005. As soon as each restaurant is converted, franchise
fees are no longer payable to the Franchisor.

The Company plans to convert most of its restaurants to a
new concept called "Whistle Junction". These conversions entail
a substantial remodel of the restaurant buildings designed to
look like an old train station on the exterior. The interior of
the restaurant will also feature the train theme, including an
operating model railroad running through the dining room. The
operation of the converted restaurants will continue to be a
11

buffet format with an upgraded menu and improved service levels.
The first Whistle Junction remodel opened in March 2004, and a
newly built Whistle Junction is scheduled to open in May 2004.

Certain of the Company's restaurants will be converted to
an alternate concept called the "Florida Buffet", based on
various factors including their location. As of February 2004,
three restaurants have been converted to the Florida Buffet. A
fourth restaurant will be converted to the Florida Buffet in May
2004. The Florida Buffet conversions include interior and
exterior changes to the building designed to incorporate a
"Florida look" theme, although the changes are not as extensive
as those for the Whistle Junction. Menu and service
enhancements are also included in the Florida Buffet locations,
designed to attract and maintain increased customer volumes.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about
Market Risk

There has been no significant changes in the Company's
exposure to market risk during the first fiscal quarter of 2004.
For discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk, refer
to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered
by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the President and Chief
Operating Officer and the Director of Finance. Based upon that
evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer
and the Director of Finance have concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting
them to material information regarding the Company's financial
statement and disclosure obligation in order to allow the
Company to meet its reporting requirements under the Exchange
Act in a timely manner.

(b) Changes in internal control. There have been no
changes in internal controls over financial reporting that has
12

materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
