FOX & HOUND RESTAURANT GROUP

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in its 2004 Form 10-K. The results of the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 27, 2005.

2. Restatement of Financial Statements

Following a review of lease accounting and leasehold amortization polices, we determined that it was appropriate to adjust certain of our prior financial statements. As a result, we have restated all of our historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2004. Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, we recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term, with the term commencing on the initial date of the lease agreement. We also used only the initial non-cancelable lease term in the determination of capital leases. We amortized our leasehold improvements and other long-lived assets on those properties over a period that included both the initial non-cancelable lease term and all option periods provided for in the lease (or the useful life of the assets, if shorter). Additionally, tenant allowances received from the lessor were recorded as a reduction of the related leasehold improvements. We now have restated our financial statements to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years). The expected lease term, including cancelable option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty, not to exceed fifteen years (unless the initial lease term is in excess of fifteen years), is also being utilized in the determination of capital leases. Additionally, the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements for amortization purposes was reduced from twenty years to fifteen years, or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is less. The lease term commences on the date when we have full access to the property. Lease expenses from the date we have full access to the property to the completion of construction are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Tenant allowances are being recorded as accrued rent when received and included as a reduction in the straight-line rent calculation described above. We also had one lease reclassified from operating to capital as a result of these adjustments.

The impact of these adjustments on the condensed consolidated income statements and cash flows for the periods ended September 7, 2004 is shown in the tables below. The Restatement decreased reported diluted net earnings per share by $0.02 for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 and $0.06 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. The Restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported cash balances, sales or same-restaurant sales or on our compliance with any covenant under our credit facility or other debt instruments.

3. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

     In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company’s policy is to grant stock options with grant prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Proceeds from the exercise of common stock options issued to officers, directors and key employees under the Company’s stock option plans are credited to common stock to the extent of par value and to additional paid-in capital for the excess.

     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123, which also requires the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value of that Statement. The fair value method for these options were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.9% to 5.3%; no dividend yields; volatility factor ranging from 0.281 to 0.853; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the option’s vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information is as follows:

		Twelve Weeks Ended								Thirty-six Weeks Ended

Weighted average fair value of options granted during the period		$	—			$	5.45			$	4.52			$	5.19

3. Stock Options

     During the twelve week period ended September 6, 2005, options to purchase 21,732 shares were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.32 per share pursuant to its 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.

4. Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. The number of weighted average shares outstanding for the twelve week periods ended September 6, 2005 and September 7, 2004 were 10,017,922 and 9,909,473, respectively; the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the thirty-six week periods ended September 6, 2005 and September 7, 2004 were 9,991,932 and 9,882,832, respectively.

     Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outsanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at an average price during the reporting period. The number of shares resulting from this computation of diluted earnings per share for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 and September 7, 2004 were 10,482,551 and 10,369,314, respectively, and for the thirty-six week periods ended September 6, 2005 and September 7, 2004 were 10,425,683 and 10,432,922, respectively.

5. Subsequent Events

     On October 4, 2005, the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent with Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (“LLCP”) for the acquisition of all of the Company’s outstanding common stock for an all cash price of $14.00 per share, other than shares held by certain stockholders and members of management. The buyer would be a newly formed affiliate of LLCP in which certain executive officers and other members of senior management of the Company would participate as equity holders. As part of the transaction, the participating stockholders and members of management would be required to vote their shares of Company stock in favor of the transaction with LLCP and to exchange their shares of Company stock and options for stock and options of the continuing company after the transaction.

     The Board of Directors of the Company created a Special Committee of independent directors to consider the proposal. The Special Committee unanimously approved the letter of intent and recommended its approval by the

Board of Directors. The proposed transaction is subject to successful completion of due diligence and execution of mutually agreed upon definitive agreements. The closing of the transaction would be subject to the buyer obtaining financing for the transaction, stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive agreements can or will be signed or that a transaction can or will be completed.

     The Board of Directors unanimously approved the Company entering into the letter of intent, which has an exclusivity agreement with LLCP that extends through January 31, 2006. The Company has agreed not to solicit alternative transactions but may respond to certain unsolicited proposals and may terminate the exclusivity agreement prior to January 31, 2006 upon receipt of a superior proposal for an alternative transaction. Under certain circumstances, if the Company terminates the exclusivity agreement for a superior proposal or the Company enters into an agreement with respect to an alternative transaction before May 1, 2006, the Company will be required to pay LLCP a fee of $5 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse LLCP for its expenses in certain circumstances.

     On October 4, 2005, Primavera Investors, LLC (“Primavera”) filed a Class Action Complaint (the “Complaint”) against the Company, its Board of Directors, and LLCP. The Complaint alleges that the transaction contemplated in the public disclosure of the letter of intent would injure the plaintiffs. In the Complaint, Primavera seeks to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the defendants from engaging in the transaction proposed by the Letter of Intent, obtain an award for the damages to the Company’s public stockholders, require the defendants to account for profits or special benefits, and award the plaintiffs their costs and attorneys’ fees.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Anaysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

     As of September 6, 2005, the Company owned and operated 82 restaurants under the Fox and Hound Smokehouse & Tavern, Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille, and Fox and Hound Pub & Grille (“Fox and Hound”), Bailey’s Smokehouse & Tavern, Bailey’s Sports Grille and Bailey’s Pub & Grille (“Bailey’s”) brand names. The Company’s restaurants offer a broad menu of mid-priced appetizers, entrees, and desserts served in generous portions. In addition, each location features a full-service bar and offers a wide selection of major domestic, imported and specialty beers. Each restaurant emphasizes a high energy environment with multiple billiard tables and satellite and cable coverage of a variety of sporting events and music videos. In addition to our food, the Company believes that customers are attracted to the elegant yet comfortable atmosphere of dark wood interiors, polished brass, embroidered chairs and booths, and etched glass. The Fox and Hound and Bailey’s restaurants share identical operational principles. As of September 6, 2005, the Company owned and operated 62 Fox and Hound restaurants and 20 Bailey’s restaurants located in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. As of September 7, 2004, the Company owned and operated 55 Fox and Hound restaurants and 17 Bailey’s restaurants.

     The components of the Company’s net sales are food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other (principally billiard table rental fees). For the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 37.9% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were 56.4% of total sales and entertainment and other were 5.7% of total sales. For the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 37.9% of total sales, alcoholic beverages were 55.6% of total sales and entertainment and other were 6.5% of total sales.

     The components of the Company’s cost of sales primarily include direct costs of food, non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages. These costs are generally variable and will fluctuate with changes in sales volume and sales mix.

     Components of restaurant operating expenses include operating payroll and fringe benefits, and occupancy, maintenance and utilities. All but one of the Company’s locations are leased and provide for a minimum annual rent, with some leases calling for additional rent based on sales volume at the particular location in excess of specified minimum sales levels.

     Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation and amortization of capital expenditures for restaurants.

     Preopening costs include labor costs, costs of hiring and training personnel and certain other costs relating to opening new restaurants.

     General and administrative expenses include all corporate and administrative functions that support existing operations and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. Management, supervisory and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, information systems, training, rent and office supplies as well as accounting services fees are major items of costs in this category.

     In calculating comparable restaurant sales, the Company includes a restaurant in the comparable restaurant base after it has been in operation for 18 full months. As of September 6, 2005, there were 65 restaurants in the comparable restaurant base. Annualized average weekly sales are computed by dividing net sales during the period by the number of store operating weeks and multiplying the result by 52.

     In calculating the increase or decrease in expenses as a percent of sales, each basis point represents a 0.01% change in the expense as a percent of sales.

Results of Operations

     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated (i) the percentages which certain items included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations bear to net sales, and (ii) other selected operating data. The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending the last Tuesday in December. Fiscal years 2004 and 2005 each consists of 52 weeks. Fiscal quarters consist of three accounting periods of 12 weeks each and a final period of 16 or 17 weeks.

     Net sales increased $5,277,000 (16.8%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $36,738,000 from $31,461,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004. This increase was due to a 15.3% increase in store weeks (982 versus 852) as a result of ten restaurants opened since September 7, 2004 and a 1.3% increase in annualized average weekly sales per location. Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.5% for the quarter ended September 6, 2005.

     Costs of sales increased $1,419,000 (16.3%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $10,116,000 from $8,697,000 in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 27.5% from 27.6%. This decrease as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to a decrease in food costs as a percent of food sales due to a price increase taken in the first quarter of 2005 offset by a slight increase in food sales mix and an increase in promotional activities.

     Restaurant operating expenses increased $3,183,000 (17.2%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $21,702,000 from $18,519,000 in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 59.1% from 58.9%. This increase as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to an increase in advertising expense of 19 basis points, an increase in building maintenance of 29 basis points, an increase in utilities of 26 basis points, partially offset by a benefit of 60 basis points in management labor.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $435,000 (22.6%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $2,365,000 from $1,930,000 in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004, and increased as a percentage of sales to 6.4% from 6.1%. This increase in expense as a percentage of sales is due to additional depreciation on ten restaurants opened since September 7, 2004.

     Preopening costs decreased $265,000 (47.5%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $293,000 from $558,000 in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004. This decrease is attributable to two units that opened during the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 and partial preopening expenses for five restaurants which have yet to open. Three restaurants were opened in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004. Preopening expense for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 included partial preopening expenses for five units that had not yet opened.

     General and administrative expenses increased $442,000 (29.0%) for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $1,965,000 from $1,523,000 in the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004, and increased as a percent of sales to 5.4% from 4.9%. This increase was due to an increase in corporate infrastructure to support the Company’s expansion.

     Interest expense was $73,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 and $76,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004. There was a decrease in the average balance applicable to the revolving note payable in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year which was offset by a higher average interest rate on the revolving note payable.

     The effective income tax rate was 30.4% for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2005 and 30.4% for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004.

Thirty-six weeks Ended September 6, 2005 Compared to Thirty-six weeks Ended September 7, 2004

     Net sales increased $15,486,000 (16.1%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $111,935,000 from $96,449,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. This increase was due to a 16.0% increase in store weeks (2,823 versus 2,433) as a result of ten restaurants opened since September 7, 2004. Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.1% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005.

     Costs of sales increased $3,788,000 (14.3%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $30,217,000 from $26,429,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 27.0% from 27.4%. This decrease as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to a decrease in food costs as a percent of food sales due to a price increase taken in the first quarter of 2005 and a decrease in promotional activities partially offset by a slight increase in food sales mix.

     Restaurant operating expenses increased $9,154,000 (17.4%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $61,651,000 from $52,497,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 55.1% from 54.4%. This increase as a percentage of sales is principally attributable to increases in advertising expense (18 basis points), building and equipment maintenance (22 basis points), utilities (17 basis points), occupancy costs (21 basis points), hourly labor (20 basis points), partially offset by decreases in management labor (21 basis points) and employment taxes and benefits (33 basis points).

     Depreciation and amortization increased $1,157,000 (21.2%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $6,624,000 from $5,467,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, and increased as a percentage of sales to 5.9% from 5.7%. This increase in depreciation expense is due to additional depreciation on ten restaurants opened since September 7, 2004.

     Preopening costs decreased $382,000 (23.5%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $1,246,000 from $1,628,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. These costs are attributable to seven units that opened during the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 and partial preopening expenses for five restaurants which have yet to open. Nine restaurants were opened in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004.

     The provision for asset impairment of $2,523,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, reflects the charges made for the write down of restaurant assets related to two underperforming units in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. We periodically review our long-lived assets that are held and used in our restaurant operations for indications of impairment. As of September 6, 2005, we have no plans to close either of these units.

     General and administrative expenses increased $973,000 (19.4%) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 to $5,990,000 from $5,017,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 and increased to 5.3% as a percentage of sales from 5.2%.

     Gain on disposal of assets was $25,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005. The gain reflects the disposal of a state liquor license.

     Interest expense was $155,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 and $172,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. This decrease is due mainly to a lower average balance applicable to the revolving note payable in the current fiscal year compared with the prior fiscal year partially offset by a lower average interest rate in the current fiscal year.

     The effective income tax rate was 30.9% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 and 30.3% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004.

Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation

          The timing of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly results. The Company expects seasonality to continue to be a factor in the results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors affecting the Company’s operations include food, liquor, labor costs and utilities. A large number of the Company’s restaurant personnel are tipped employees who are paid at the federal subminimum wage level; therefore, future subminimum wage changes will have a significant effect on labor costs. Historically, inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins. As costs of food and labor have increased, the Company has previously been able to offset these increases through economies of scale, improved operating procedures and menu price changes. However, during fiscal 2004, the Company has experienced significant increases in certain commodity prices above historical levels which has negatively impacted costs of food and operating margins. Additionally, competitive pressures may limit the Company’s ability to fully recover cost increases with the implementation of menu price increases. To the extent that the Company continues to experience significant increases in commodity prices, it may have a material negative impact on operating margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As is customary in the restaurant industry, the Company operates with negative working capital. Negative working capital increased $3,055,000 to $9,291,000 as of September 6, 2005 from $6,236,000 as of December 28, 2004. This increase is attributable to the costs of purchasing property and equipment in excess of cash provided by operations and net proceeds from the line of credit. Cash increased $195,000 to $1,007,000 at September 6, 2005 compared to the balance of $812,000 at December 28, 2004. The Company does not have significant receivables or inventory and receives trade credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies. Because funds available from cash sales are not needed immediately to pay for food and supplies, or to finance inventory, they may be considered as a source of financing for noncurrent capital expenditures.

     On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Intrust Bank, N.A. (the “Line of Credit”) which provides for a line of credit of $20,000,000 subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the past fifty-two weeks and the amount of capital lease obligations on personal property. The Line of Credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Line of Credit requires monthly payments of interest only until November 1, 2006, at which time equal monthly installments of principal and interest are required as necessary to fully amortize the outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a period of four years. Interest is accrued at ¹/2% below the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. As of September 6, 2005 the Company had borrowed $4,633,000 under the Line of Credit. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants.

     Cash flows from operations were $14,282,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 compared to $12,202,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. Purchases of property and equipment were $15,338,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2005 compared to $16,397,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. Repayment of advances made to the developer of two build-to-suit locations were $297,000 in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. Net proceeds from the revolving note payable to bank was $953,000

for the thirty-six week period ending September 6, 2005 compared to $4,645,000 for the thirty-six weeks ending September 7, 2004. At September 6, 2005, the Company had $1,007,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

     The Company intends to open eleven new locations in fiscal year 2005. At September 6, 2005, seven units had been opened in fiscal 2005, three units were under construction and leases had been executed on five additional sites. The Company is currently evaluating locations in markets familiar to its management team. However, the number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending upon the ability of the Company to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable leases.

     The Company believes the funds available from the Line of Credit and its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in the Company’s operating plans, the acceleration or modification of the Company’s expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, stock repurchases, potential acquisitions or other events will not cause the Company to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated, prevent the Company from achieving the goals of its expansion strategy or prevent any newly opened locations from operating profitably. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
