ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Roadhouse Grill, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida in 1992. The principal business of the Company is the operation of specialty restaurants. The Company has also granted franchises and licenses to operate restaurants under the “Roadhouse Grill” name. The Company opened its first restaurant in Pembroke Pines, Florida (the greater Ft. Lauderdale area) in 1993. As of July 27, 2003, there were 70 company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. Of these, 35 are located in Florida.

     The Company operates on a fifty-two or fifty-three week fiscal year. Each fiscal quarter consists of thirteen weeks, except in the case of a fifty-three week year, in which case the fourth fiscal quarter consists of fourteen weeks. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

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

     While in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (see Note 2 below), the Company applied the provisions of SOP 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code,” which does not significantly change the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, it does require that the financial statements for periods including and subsequent to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from those transactions that are the result of ongoing operations of the business.

     The Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and in accordance with SOP 90-7. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is predicated upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations to service debt and pay capital and operating lease obligations, the ability to otherwise meet its operating expenses, and the ability to obtain sufficient financing or other resources to satisfy future obligations to the extent not covered by cash flow from operations.

(2)  RECENTLY COMPLETED PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

     On January 18, 2002 (the “Petition Date”), an involuntary petition (the “Involuntary Petition”) for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) was filed against the Company by certain of its creditors, all of which were affiliated with one another (collectively, the “Petitioning Creditors”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Court”). Prior to the Petition Date, the Company had been experiencing significant cash flow problems primarily resulting from the opening of 31 new restaurants in the prior three years combined with a net loss of $15.9 million in fiscal year 2001 and a net loss of $21.4 million in fiscal year 2002. Prior to the filing of the Involuntary Petition, the Company had been in negotiations with the Petitioning Creditors and its other major creditors in an effort to effect an out-of-court restructuring of its liabilities.

     In response to the filing of the Involuntary Petition, the Company initially filed a motion requesting the Court to abstain from taking jurisdiction over the Company to allow out-of-court restructuring efforts to continue. Ultimately, however, the Company decided to consent to the entry of an order for relief in the Chapter 11 case, provided that the order would not be entered until the Company had an opportunity to prepare a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

     On April 16, 2002 (the “Relief Date”), the Court entered an order for relief and the Company filed its proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and its disclosure statement in support of its plan of reorganization. Subsequent to the entry of the order for relief, the Company temporarily operated its businesses as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and concentrated its efforts on emerging from Chapter 11 as quickly as possible.

     In its plan of reorganization, the Company classified the claims of its creditors and interests of its equity security holders and provided for the treatment of such claims and interests. Under the Bankruptcy Code, various classes of claims and interests were entitled to vote on whether to accept or reject the plan of reorganization. On June 12, 2002, the Company filed Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Plan”) and Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Disclosure Statement in Support of Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Court conducted a hearing on June 12, 2002 to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement. On June 20, 2002, the Court issued an order approving the Disclosure Statement, authorizing the Disclosure Statement, Plan and ballot to be disseminated to creditors and equity security holders and scheduling a hearing on confirmation of the Plan for August 21, 2002.

     On June 25, 2002, a hearing was held on the motion of the Petitioning Creditors to terminate the exclusivity period within which only the Company could file a plan of reorganization and to delay the hearing on confirmation of the Plan. On June 26, 2002,

Table of Contents

the Court terminated exclusivity but refused to postpone the hearing on confirmation of the Plan.

     Thereafter, Restaurants Acquisition I, Inc., an entity affiliated with the Petitioning Creditors, filed a competing plan of reorganization, dated July 15, 2002 (the “RAI Plan”). The Petitioning Creditors and creditors affiliated with them (collectively, “CNL”) vigorously opposed confirmation of the Plan. In addition, certain other creditors initially cast ballots rejecting the Plan and/or filed objections to confirmation of the Plan.

     As the date of the confirmation hearing approached, the Company engaged in further negotiations with rejecting and objecting creditors in an effort to resolve their objections to the Plan. By August 19, 2002, most of the objections had been resolved and the Company filed a modification of the Plan reflecting the resolution of those objections (the “Modification”).

     As of August 19, 2002, the principal remaining objections were the objections of CNL. However, the Company reached agreement with CNL shortly before the commencement of the confirmation hearing. Under the agreement, CNL withdrew its objections to the Plan, changed its rejections to acceptances of the Plan and caused the RAI Plan to be withdrawn. The agreement was embodied in a term sheet between the Company and CNL dated August 21, 2002 (the “Term Sheet”).

     The hearing on confirmation of the Plan, as modified by the Modification and the Term Sheet, took place on August 21, 2002. At the close of the hearing, the Court announced that the Plan, as modified by the Modification, the Term Sheet and the Confirmation Order (as hereinafter defined) (the “Confirmed Plan of Reorganization”), would be confirmed. On August 23, 2002, the Court issued its Order Confirming Debtor’s Second Amended and Restated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Confirmation Order”).

     The Confirmed Plan of Reorganization became effective on September 20, 2002 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Company received an infusion of new capital of $5.0 million in exchange for 13,888,889 shares of the authorized but unissued common stock of the Company, constituting 47.53% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company. The 13,888,889 shares were issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Private Placement Securities”). The Private Placement Securities were issued to Berjaya Group (Cayman) Limited (“Berjaya”), Prime Gaming Philippines, Inc. (“Prime”), Tonto Capital Partners GP, and Stephen C. Saterbo (“Saterbo”), as more particularly set forth in the table immediately below and reflecting the post-restructuring percentage ownership for each respective investment.

     Berjaya is the Company’s majority shareholder, representing ownership of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. It is headquartered in Malaysia. Prime is an affiliate of Berjaya. It is 70% owned by Berjaya Group Berhad, which owns 100% of Berjaya. Prime is headquartered in the Philippines. Tonto Capital Partners GP is affiliated with Ayman Sabi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and a director. Saterbo is a senior vice president, member of the board of directors, and substantial shareholder of Colorado Boxed Beef Company, a former major supplier to the Company.

     Additionally, pursuant to the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization Berjaya received, in full satisfaction of a $1.5 million loan to the Company, 4,166,667 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at $0.36 per share, representing 14.26% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company.

     In accordance with the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, each existing holder of Common Stock received additional Common Stock equal to 15% of the shares which they previously held. After issuance of the additional shares, the existing shareholders own an aggregate of 11,165,107 shares of the outstanding common stock, representing 38.21% of the outstanding stock of the reorganized Company. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding after effecting the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization is 29,220,663.

     Under bankruptcy law, actions by creditors to collect indebtedness owed prior to the Petition Date and/or prior to the Relief Date were stayed and certain other pre-petition and Gap (January 18, 2002 through April 16, 2002, which is the period of time between the Petition Date and the Relief Date) contractual obligations could not be enforced against the Company. The Company received approval from the Court to pay certain pre-petition and “gap” liabilities including employee salaries and wages, benefits, and other employee obligations. Liabilities through the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, September 20, 2002, which were incurred pre-petition or during the “gap period” had previously been classified as liabilities subject to compromise. With the Company having emerged from bankruptcy, these liabilities were adjusted during fiscal year 2003 to the amounts to be paid pursuant to the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain relating to the early extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations in the amount of $1.8

Table of Contents

million for fiscal year 2003. This gain results primarily from obligations to pay lease payments that were stayed while the Company was in bankruptcy and other obligations that were canceled as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding.

     As of July 27, 2003, substantially all bankruptcy claims have been resolved. See Note 7 for a description of the debt agreements that have been executed as settlement of certain bankruptcy claims. Currently, the Company is working to resolve certain remaining open bankruptcy claims. Settlement of these claims could result in the execution of additional debt agreements pursuant to the provisions of the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization and the recognition of additional extraordinary gains or losses to the extent that the final settlement amount differs from the liabilities currently recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. However, these remaining open bankruptcy claims are not considered material to the Company’s financial position and any extraordinary gain or loss that may result is not expected to be material to the future consolidated results of operations of the Company.

     As restructured under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Company’s secured and unsecured debt, as well as assumed leases and executory contracts, will require substantial monthly payments over extended future periods. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on its ability to meet these payment obligations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

     Reorganization items represent amounts incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings in accordance with SOP 90-7.
