  First Quarter FY 2006 versus First Quarter FY 2005 Results

   *  Diluted EPS was ($0.04) versus $0.03 on a net loss of ($393,000)
      versus net income of $285,000.

   *  Revenues decreased approximately 11% or $1.6 million primarily due to
      lower comparable chainwide retail sales, fewer net stores and the
      effect of Hurricane Katrina (combined total is approximately
      $1.2 million).  Additionally, equipment sales decreased $241,000 and
      international sales of food and equipment decreased $119,000.

   *  Comparable chainwide retail sales were down 3.5%.

   *  Legal fees increased approximately $363,000 as the result of ongoing
      litigation and related matters.

   *  Energy costs increased approximately $156,000.

   *  General and administrative expenses included non-cash executive stock
      compensation expense of $103,000 for approximately 560,000 stock
      option rights granted previously to the chief executive officer and
      members of the board of directors.  The prior year did not include any
      non-cash compensation expense.

The Company's President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, "Despite the temporary negative impact of Hurricane Katrina on our financial results, our primary concern is with the people of the Gulf Region and our operators there. We must, however, remain focused on the fundamentals of our business, from concept development to unit-level profitability. In the coming weeks we will introduce our new buffet concept in the Dallas and Houston markets, featuring a more progressive approach to our brand and its profitability. In addition, a new franchisee selection program will roll out in November of this year, targeting strategic markets throughout the chain. Also, as our Product and Purchasing Committee reduces costs in the operating system, our marketing efforts have been refocused to illuminate the brand's core competency -- a tradition of serving quality food and hospitality."
