See Accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements BRINKER INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements of Brinker International, Inc. ("Company") as of September 28, 1994 and June 29, 1994 and for the thirteen week periods ended September 28, 1994 and the September 29, 1993 have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company owns and operates five primary restaurant concepts under the names of Chili's Grill & Bar ("Chili's"), Grady's American Grill ("Grady's"), Romano's Macaroni Grill ("Macaroni Grill"), Spageddies Italian Kitchen ("Spageddies"), and On The Border Cafes ("On The Border"). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the June 29, 1994 Form 10-K. Company management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. 2. Net Income Per Share Both primary and fully diluted net income per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by common equivalent shares (stock options) determined using the treasury stock method. 3. Business Combination Effective August 3, 1994, the Company acquired four Chili's restaurants located in Florida and Georgia from a franchisee in exchange for 505,930 shares of Company common stock. The acquisition of one of the restaurants was accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition of the remaining three restaurants was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations of the three acquired restaurants for the periods presented. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations For The Thirteen Week Periods Ended September 28, 1994 and September 29, 1993 The following table sets forth expenses as a percentage of total revenues for revenue and expense items included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

REVENUES Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 increased to $247.1 million, 19.2% over the $207.3 million generated for the same quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase is primarily attributable to the 61 Company-operated restaurants opened or acquired since September 29, 1993. In addition, reported comparable store sales increased 0.7% as Chili's, Macaroni Grill, and Grady's generated comparable store sales increases (decreases) of 1.0%, 1.9%, and (2.5)%, respectively. Strong new store sales volumes experienced last year, particularly with respect to Grady's and Macaroni Grill, resulted in more difficult comparable store sales comparisons this quarter. Although the Florida market has been hurt by a decline in tourism, positive comparable store sales gains in Texas and California have offset the comparatively soft sales in Florida. COSTS AND EXPENSES (as a percent of Revenues) Cost of sales decreased from 27.7% in fiscal 1994 to 26.8% in fiscal 1995. As a result of increased purchasing leverage, favorable commodity prices were experienced in meat, poultry, produce, and dairy. These prices were responsible for about 50% of the favorable variance. Other favorable factors include shifts in product mix to lower food cost items and menu reformulation, such as the addition of the Guiltless Grill menu items at Chili's. These positive variances were somewhat offset by unfavorable prices for non- alcoholic beverages and seafood. Restaurant expenses increased from 51% in fiscal 1994 to 51.3% in fiscal 1995. Management costs increased due to staffing and training costs associated with second and third quarter expansion. At the restaurant level, hourly costs increased due to overtime incurred to cover temporary spot shortages experienced when school commenced in August and September. These cost increases were partially offset by decreases in rent expense resulting from an increase in the percentage of owned versus leased restaurants and reductions in claim costs across all lines of insurance as a result of aggressive safety programs in place at the restaurant level. Depreciation and amortization was flat compared to the prior year first quarter. Construction costs for new restaurants, remodel costs, and capital expenditures at the corporate level, including investments in new computer hardware and software, were offset by increased restaurant revenues and a declining depreciable asset base for older units. General and administrative expenses declined in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994 due to the Company's ongoing focus on controlling corporate overhead and efficiencies realized from increased investments in computer hardware and software. The dollar increase in general and administrative expenses is due to additional staff and support as the Company accelerates expansion of its restaurant concepts, including international franchising. Other, net, decreased compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The decrease is primarily the result of $500,000 in net realized gains on sales of marketable securities recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 as investments were called by companies that were refinancing. Interest and dividend income, however, remained flat. INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES As a result of the relationships between revenues and costs and expenses, income before provision for income taxes has increased 24.9% over the first quarter of fiscal 1994. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 35.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 35.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The Company's effective income tax rate continues to rise as a result of incremental earnings taxed at higher effective rates and additional state income tax liabilities resulting from continued expansion, particularly relating to growth in California and Florida. NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE Net income and net income per share rose 24.3% and 25%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The increases exceed the increase in revenues as the Company continues to control costs and expenses while maintaining the expansion of the restaurant concepts. The 0.4% increase in primary weighted average shares outstanding is primarily the result of common stock options exercised. IMPACT OF INFLATION The Company has not experienced a significant overall impact from inflation. As operating expenses increase, the Company, to the extent permitted by competition, recovers increased costs by raising menu prices. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The working capital deficit increased from $54.9 million at June 29, 1994 to $61.5 million at September 28, 1994, due primarily to the Company's capital expenditures as discussed below. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $26.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 to $19.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 due to the timing of operational receipts and payments, which offset cash generated from the increased number of restaurants in operation, strong operating results from existing units, and the effective containment of costs. Long-term debt outstanding at September 28, 1994 consisted of obligations under capital leases. At September 28, 1994, the Company had available funds from lines of credit totalling $28.9 million. Capital expenditures were $36.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as compared to $31.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Purchases of land for future restaurant sites, new restaurants under construction, purchases of new and replacement restaurant furniture and equipment, and the ongoing remodeling program for existing units were responsible for the increased expenditures. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures during the second quarter of fiscal 1995 will be approximately $48 million. These capital expenditures will be funded from internal operations, income earned from investments, build-to-suit lease agreements with landlords, and drawdowns on the Company's available lines of credit. The Clinton administration is likely to continue to analyze and propose new legislation which could adversely impact the entire business community. Mandated health care and minimum wage measures, if passed, could increase the Company's operating costs. The Company would attempt to offset increased costs through additional improvements in operating efficiencies and menu price increases. The Company is not aware of any other event or trend which would potentially affect its liquidity. In the event such a trend would develop, the Company believes that there are sufficient funds available under the lines of credit and from strong internal cash generating capabilities to adequately manage the expansion of the business.
