NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

First Quarter Fiscal 2009, Ended
September 23, 2008

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A
summary of the Companys significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Description of the Business

Frischs Restaurants, Inc. (the Company) is a regional company that operates full
service family-style restaurants under the name Frischs Big Boy. The Company also operates grill buffet style restaurants under the name Golden Corral pursuant to certain licensing agreements. All Big Boy restaurants
operated by the Company are currently located in various regions of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Golden Corral restaurants currently operate primarily in the greater metropolitan areas of Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio,
Louisville, Kentucky and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Company owns the trademark Frischs and has exclusive, irrevocable ownership of
the rights to the Big Boy trademark, trade name and service marks in the states of Kentucky and Indiana, and in most of Ohio and Tennessee. All of the Frischs Big Boy restaurants also offer drive-thru service. The
Company also licenses Big Boy restaurants to other operators, currently in certain parts of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. In addition, the Company operates a commissary and food manufacturing plant near its headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio that
services all Big Boy restaurants operated by the Company, and is available to supply restaurants licensed to others.

Consolidation Practices

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Frischs Restaurants, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries,
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these interim
financial statements include all adjustments (all of which were normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of all periods presented.

Fiscal Year

The Companys fiscal year is the 52 week (364 days) or 53 week (371 days) period ending on the Tuesday nearest to the last
day of May. The first quarter of each fiscal year contains sixteen weeks, while the last three quarters each normally contain twelve weeks. Every fifth or sixth year, the additional week needed to make a 53 week year is added to the fourth quarter,
resulting in a thirteen week fourth quarter. The current fiscal year will end on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, a period of 52 weeks. The year ended June 3, 2008 was a 53 week year.

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to use estimates and assumptions to measure certain items that affect the amounts reported. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events, and assumptions about future events. Although
management believes its estimates are reasonable and adequate, future events affecting them may differ markedly from current judgment. Significant estimates and assumptions are used to measure self-insurance liabilities, deferred executive
compensation obligations, net periodic pension cost and future pension obligations, the carrying values of property held for sale and for long-lived assets including property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets.

Management considers the following accounting policies to be critical accounting policies because the application of estimates to these policies requires
managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments: self-insurance liabilities, net periodic pension cost and future pension obligations, and the carrying values of long-lived assets.

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)



Cash and Cash Equivalents

Funds in transit from credit card processors are classified as cash. Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered as cash equivalents.

Receivables

Trade notes and accounts receivable are valued on the
reserve method. The reserve balance was $30,000 as of September 23, 2008 and June 3, 2008. The reserve is monitored for adequacy based on historical collection patterns and write-offs, and current credit risks.

Inventories

Inventories, comprised principally of food items, are
valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market.

Accounting for Rebates

Cash consideration received from certain food vendors is treated as a reduction of cost of sales and is recognized in the same periods in which the rebates are earned.

Leases

Minimum scheduled lease payments on operating
leases, including escalating rental payments, are recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including option periods that are considered as part of the lease term, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases, as amended. Contingent rentals, typically based on a percentage of restaurant sales in excess of a fixed amount, are expensed as incurred. SFAS 13 also requires rent expense to be
recognized during that part of the lease term when no rent is paid to the landlord, often referred to as a rent holiday, that generally occurs while a restaurant is being constructed on leased land. The Company does not typically receive
leasehold incentives from landlords.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated service lives, which range from ten to 25 years for new buildings or components thereof and five to ten years for
equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term as lease terms are defined in SFAS 13, as amended. Property betterments are capitalized while the cost of maintenance and repairs is
expensed as incurred.

The cost of land not yet in service is included in construction in progress if construction has begun or if construction
is likely within the next twelve months. Estimated remaining expenditures for one new Big Boy restaurant that was under construction as of September 23, 2008 totaled approximately $1,308,000. Interest on borrowings is capitalized during active
construction periods of new restaurants. Capitalized interest for the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007 was $43,000 and $95,000, respectively.

Five Big Boy restaurant facilities are occupied under month-to-month arrangements pending the acquisition of the properties from the landlord pursuant to certain provisions in the respective lease agreements. The
purchase prices are the subject of litigation between the Company and the landlord (see Litigation in Note H  Commitments and Contingencies).

The
cost of land on which construction is not likely within the next twelve months is classified as Investments in land in the consolidated balance sheet. Certain surplus property, including one Big Boy restaurant that ceased operations near
the end of fiscal year 2008, is classified as Property held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet, which is stated at the lower of cost of market. Market values are generally determined by real estate brokers and/or
managements judgment.

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)



Capitalized computer software is amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated service lives, which range
from three to ten years. The Companys cost capitalization policy with respect to computer software complies with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-1 (SOP 98-1), Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Software assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining service life.

Impairment of Assets

Management considers a history of cash flow
losses on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis to be its primary indicator of potential impairment of assets. Carrying values are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying values may not be
recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the properties use and eventual disposition. When undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than carrying values, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the
amount by which the carrying values exceed the greater of the net present value of the future cash flow stream or a floor value. Floor values are generally determined by estimates provided by real estate brokers and/or managements judgment as
developed through its experience in disposing of unprofitable restaurant properties.

No impairment losses were recognized during either of the sixteen
weeks ended September 23, 2008 or September 18, 2007. A non-cash pretax charge of $4,565,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 to lower the carrying values of three Golden Corral restaurants that were determined to be
impaired. The three restaurants remain in operation.

Restaurant Closing Costs

Any liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities are recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Obligations Associated with
Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 requires that liabilities be recognized for exit and disposal costs only when the liabilities are incurred, rather than upon the commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Its application has had no material effect
on any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (SFAS
143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, is applicable to legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain tangible long-lived assets. Its application has not materially affected the Companys financial
statements in any of the periods presented. Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Obligations (FIN 47), requires that conditional obligations be included in the definition of an
asset retirement obligation under SFAS 143 and therefore requires current recognition if fair value is reasonably estimable. Its application has had no material effect on any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Including Licensing Agreements

As of September 23, 2008 and June 3, 2008, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in prior years was $741,000. Acquired goodwill is tested annually for impairment and whenever an impairment indicator
arises. Impairment losses are recorded if impairment is determined to have occurred.

Other intangible assets consist principally of initial franchise fees
paid for each new Golden Corral restaurant the Company has opened (finite useful lives are subject to amortization) or has the right to open (yet to be determined useful lives are not subject to amortization). Amortization of the $40,000 initial fee
begins when the restaurant opens and is computed using the straight-line method over the 15 year term of each individual restaurants franchise agreement. The fees are ratably amortized at $2,667 per year per restaurant, which equates to
$85,000 per year in each of the next five years for the 35 Golden Corral restaurants that were in operation as of September 23, 2008, net of three impaired Golden Corral restaurants (see below). Amortization was $26,000 and $28,000
respectively, for the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007.

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)



Intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. The test completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008
resulted in an impairment charge of $95,000 to write-off the remainder of unamortized initial franchise fees associated with three impaired Golden Corral restaurants (see Impairment of Assets elsewhere in Note A  Accounting Policies). During
fiscal year 2008, the development agreement with Golden Corral Franchising Systems, Inc. was amended to terminate development rights for sixteen restaurants, resulting in a write-off of $160,000 in development fees that had been previously paid.

The remaining balance of other intangible assets is not currently being amortized because these assets have indefinite or yet to be determined useful
lives. An analysis of other intangible assets follows:

The franchise agreements with Golden Corral Franchising Systems, Inc. also require the Company to pay fees based
on defined gross sales. These costs are charged against earnings as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from restaurant operations is recognized upon the sale of products as they are sold to customers. All sales revenue is recorded on a net basis, which excludes
sales tax collected from being reported as sales and sales tax remitted from being reported as cost. Revenue from the sale of commissary products to Big Boy restaurants licensed to other operators is recognized upon shipment of product. Revenue from
franchise fees, based on sales of Big Boy restaurants licensed to other operators, is recorded on the accrual method as earned. Initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the fees are deemed fully earned and non-refundable, which
ordinarily occurs upon the execution of the license agreement, in consideration of the Companys services to that time.

Revenue from the sale of gift
cards is deferred for recognition until redeemed by the customer, as service fees are assessed or the card otherwise expires. Except where prohibited by law, recognition of previously deferred revenue from cards without allowances for service fees
and paper gift certificates (no longer issued by the Company) occurs when the probability is remote that customers will demand full performance.

Benefit Plans

The Company has two qualified defined benefit pension plans covering all of its eligible employees. Qualified defined benefit pension plan benefits are based on years-of-service and other factors. The Companys funding policy is to
contribute at least the minimum annual amount sufficient to satisfy legal funding requirements plus additional discretionary tax-deductible amounts that may be deemed advisable, even when no minimum funding is required. Contributions are intended to
provide not only for benefits attributed to service-to-date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future (see Note E  Pension Plans). Hourly restaurant employees hired after December 31, 1998 are ineligible to participate in
the qualified defined benefit pension plans. Instead, these employees are offered participation in a 401(k) savings plan (the hourly plan), a defined contribution plan, with a matching 40 percent employer cash contribution. The Companys match
vests on a scale based on length of service.

The executive officers of the Company and certain other highly compensated employees (HCEs)
are disqualified from participation in the Companys 401(k) savings plan (the salaried plan), a defined contribution plan that has a ten percent matching employer cash contribution with immediate vesting. A non-qualified savings plan 
Frischs Executive Savings Plan (FESP)  provides a means by which the HCEs may continue to defer a portion of their compensation. FESP allows deferrals of up to 25 percent of a participants salary into a choice of mutual funds
or common stock of the Company. Matching contributions are added to the first ten percent of salary deferred at a rate of ten percent for deferrals into mutual funds, while a fifteen percent match is added to deferrals into common stock. Although
the Company owns the mutual funds until the retirement of the participants, the funds are invested at the direction of the participants. The common stock is a phantom investment, which may be paid in actual shares or in cash upon
retirement of the participants. The FESP liability to the participants is included in Deferred compensation and other long term obligations in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company also has an unfunded non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) that was originally intended to provide a supplemental retirement benefit to the HCEs whose benefits under the
qualified defined benefit pension plans were reduced when their compensation exceeded Internal Revenue Code imposed limitations or when elective salary deferrals were made to FESP. In 2000, HCEs became ineligible to be credited with additional
benefits for service under the qualified defined benefit pension plans and the SERP (interest continues to accrue). Comparable pension benefits are provided through a non-qualified Non Deferred Cash Balance Plan (see Note E  Pension Plans).

FESP assets are the principal components of Other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheet, along with the value, if any, of pension
plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligations (see Note E  Pension Plans).

Self-Insurance

The Company self-insures its Ohio workers compensation claims up to $300,000 per claim. Initial self-insurance liabilities are accrued based on prior claims history, including an amount developed for incurred but unreported claims.
Active claims management and post accident drug testing in recent years have effected vast improvements in claims experience. Management performs a comprehensive review each fiscal quarter and adjusts the self-insurance liabilities as deemed
appropriate based on claims experience. No adjustment to self-insurance liabilities was necessary during the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008. During the sixteen weeks ended September 18, 2007, self-insurance liabilities were
increased $18,000 (charged against earnings).

Income Taxes

Taxes are provided on all items included in the statement of earnings regardless of when such items are reported for tax purposes. The provision for income taxes in all periods has been computed based on managements estimate of the
effective tax rate for the entire year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements clarifies the definition of fair value, provides a framework for the measurement of fair value, and expands
disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years that begin after November 15, 2007 (fiscal year 2009) for financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 on June 4, 2008 had no
material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities is for fiscal years that begin after November 15, 2008 (fiscal year 2010).
Its adoption on June 3, 2009 is not currently expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, is also effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. It provides an
option of whether to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company elected not to use fair value to measure any of its financial assets and liabilities.

The Company reviewed all other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Companys business or that no material effect is expected on the
financial statements as a result of future adoption.

The Construction Draw Facility (the Facility) is an unsecured draw credit line intended to finance new restaurant
construction under which $5,000,000 was borrowed during the quarter ended September 23, 2008, leaving $5,500,000 available to be borrowed before the Facility expires on September 1, 2010, unless extended.

The Facility is subject to a commitment fee equal to .25 percent of the amount available to be borrowed. Under the terms of the Facility, funds borrowed are initially
governed as a Construction Phase Loan, with interest determined by a pricing matrix that uses changeable basis points, determined by certain of the Companys financial ratios. The basis points are added to or subtracted from one of various
indices chosen by the Company. Interest is payable at the end of each specific rate period selected by the Company, which may be monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Within six months of the completion and opening of each restaurant, the balance
outstanding under each Construction Phase Loan must be converted to a Term Loan. Outstanding balances of loans initiated prior to September 2007 had to be converted with an amortization period not to exceed seven years. Loans initiated in or after
September 2007 may be converted with amortization periods of up to twelve years, with an option to extend the amortization period once during the term. Upon conversion to an amortizing Term Loan, the Company may select a fixed interest rate over the
chosen term or may choose among various adjustable rate options.

As of September 23, 2008, the aggregate outstanding balance under the Facility was
$33,991,000, consisting of $28,991,000 in Term Loans plus $5,000,000 in the Construction Phase. Since the inception of the Facility, nine of the Term Loans ($21,500,000 out of $78,500,000 in original notes) had been retired as of September 23,
2008. All of the outstanding Term Loans are subject to fixed interest rates, the weighted average of which is 6.14 percent, all of which are being repaid in 84 equal monthly installments of principal and interest aggregating $836,000, expiring in
various periods currently ranging from March 2009 through October 2015. Prepayments of the Term Loans are permissible upon payment of sizeable prepayment fees and other amounts. The $5,000,000 balance in the Construction Phase Loan as of
September 23, 2008 was borrowed under three separate draws, which are subject to variable interest rates currently ranging from 3.92 to 4.25 percent. Any outstanding amount in the Construction Phase of the Facility that has not been converted
into a Term Loan on September 1, 2010 shall mature and be payable in full at that time, unless extended.

The Revolving Credit Loan is an unsecured
line of credit that allows for borrowing of up to $5,000,000 to fund temporary working capital needs through September 1, 2010, unless extended. The loan, none of which was outstanding as of September 23, 2008, is subject to a 30
consecutive day out-of-debt period each year. Interest is determined by the same pricing matrix used for Construction Phase Loans under the Construction Draw Facility, the basis points from which are added to or subtracted from one of various
indices chosen by the Company. Interest is payable at the end of each specific rate period selected by the Company, which may be monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. The loan is subject to a .25 percent unused commitment fee.

NOTE B - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)



The Bullet Loan was converted into a term loan effective March 15, 2007. The provisions of the term loan require
36 equal monthly installments of $92,000 including principal and interest at a fixed 6.13 percent rate. The loan is secured by mortgages that encumber the real property of two Golden Corral restaurants having an approximate book value of $4,090,000
as of September 23, 2008.

These loan agreements contain covenants relating to cash flows, debt levels, asset dispositions, investments and
restrictions on pledging certain restaurant operating assets. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of September 23, 2008. Compensating balances are not required by these loan agreements.

NOTE C - LEASED PROPERTY

The Companys policy is to own its restaurant
locations whenever possible, however, the Company occupies certain of its restaurants pursuant to lease agreements. Most of the leases are for fifteen or twenty years and contain renewal options for ten to twenty years, and/or have favorable
purchase options. As of September 23, 2008, 28 restaurants were in operation on non-owned premises, which were covered by 30 lease agreements consisting of 25 operating leases - seventeen are for Big Boy operations and eight are for Golden
Corral operations - and five month-to-month arrangements. Shortly after September 23, 2008, the Company exercised its privilege to purchase one of the seventeen Big Boy locations when its lease expired September 30, 2008, reducing the
number of restaurants operating on non-owned premises from 28 to 27.

The five month-to-month arrangements are for Big Boy restaurant facilities, where the
capital leases reached their normal expirations during fiscal year 2008. Two of these locations also have separate ground lease obligations. All five of these facilities are continuing to be occupied on a month-to-month basis until the Company
acquires the properties from the landlord pursuant to certain provisions contained in the respective leases. The purchase prices are the subject of litigation (see Litigation in Note H  Commitments and Contingencies). Residual value guarantees
on the five leases aggregating $2,101,000 are included as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 23, 2008 under the caption accrued expenses.

Office space is occupied under an operating lease that expires during fiscal year 2013, with renewal options available through fiscal year 2023. A purchase option is
available in 2023 to acquire the office property in fee simple. Delivery and other equipment is held under capitalized leases expiring during various periods through fiscal year 2013.

Amortization of capitalized lease assets is computed on the straight-line method over the primary terms of the leases. An analysis of the capitalized leased property follows:

Not included in the above table is a secondary liability for the performance of a ground lease that the Company
has assigned to a third party. The annual obligation of the lease approximates $48,000 through 2020. Should the third party default, the Company has the right to re-assign the lease.

NOTE D - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has two equity compensation plans adopted respectively in 1993 and 2003.

2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

Shareholders approved the 2003
Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the 2003 Incentive Plan or Plan) on October 6, 2003. The 2003 Incentive Plan provides for several forms of awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards
including restricted and unrestricted awards of stock, and performance awards. The Board of Directors adopted certain amendments in December 2006 to bring the Plan into compliance with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Further amendments were adopted in October 2008 to meet final regulations relating to Section 409A of the IRC.

No
award shall be granted under the Plan on or after October 6, 2013 or after such earlier date on which the Board of Directors may terminate the Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock that the Plan may issue is 800,000, subject,
however, to proportionate and equitable adjustments determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) as deemed necessary following the event of any equity restructuring that may occur.

NOTE D - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)



The Plan provides that the total number of shares of common stock covered by options plus the number of stock
appreciation rights granted to any one individual may not exceed 80,000 during any fiscal year. Additionally, no more than 80,000 shares of common stock may be issued in payment of performance awards denominated in shares, and no more than
$1,000,000 in cash (or fair market value, if paid in shares) may be paid pursuant to performance awards denominated in dollars, granted to any one individual during any fiscal year if the awards are intended to qualify as performance based
compensation. Employees of the Company and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to be selected to participate in the Plan. Participation is based on selection by the Committee. Although there is no limit to the number of participants
in the Plan, there are approximately 40 persons currently participating in the Plan.

Options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock permit
the holder to purchase a fixed number of shares at a fixed price. When options are granted, the Committee determines the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option, which may not exceed ten years, the time or times when the
option will become exercisable and the price per share that a participant must pay to exercise the option. No option will be granted with an exercise price that is less than 100 percent of fair market value on the date of the grant. The option price
and obligatory withholding taxes may be paid pursuant to a cashless exercise/sale procedure involving the simultaneous sale by a broker of shares covered by the option.

Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are rights to receive payment, in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of the two, equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of a share of common stock on
the date of exercise over (2) the price per share of common stock established in connection with the grant of the SAR (the reference price). The reference price must be at least 100 percent of the common stocks fair market value on the
date the SAR is granted. SARs may be granted by the Committee in its discretion to any participant, and may have terms no longer than ten years.

Stock awards are grants of shares of common stock that may be restricted (subject to a holding period or other conditions) or unrestricted. The Committee determines the amounts, vesting, if any, terms and conditions of the awards, including
the price to be paid, if any, for restricted awards and any contingencies related to the attainment of specified performance goals or continued employment or service.

The Committee may also grant performance awards to participants. Performance awards are the right to receive cash, common stock or both, at the end of a specified performance period, subject to satisfaction of the
performance criteria and any vesting conditions established for the award.

As of September 23, 2008, options to purchase 196,750 shares had been
cumulatively granted under the Plan, including 20,000 that belong to the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Committee has determined that outstanding options belonging to the CEO vest six months from the date of grant, while
outstanding options granted to other key employees vest in three equal annual installments. The Committee has further determined that outstanding options granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors vest one year from the date of grant.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any awards held by a terminated participant, excluding, however, any participant who is terminated for cause.

As of September 23, 2008, 637,500 shares remain available to be optioned, including 34,250 shares granted that were subsequently forfeited, which are again
available to be granted in accordance with the Re-use of Shares provision of the Plan. There were 151,505 options outstanding as of September 23, 2008.

No other awards - stock appreciation rights, restricted stock award, unrestricted stock award or performance awardhad been granted under the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as of September 23, 2008.

NOTE D - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)



1993 Stock Option Plan

The 1993 Stock Option Plan was not affected by the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The 1993 Stock Option Plan originally authorized the grant of stock options for up to 562,432 shares (as adjusted for changes in
capitalization in earlier years) of the common stock of the Company for a ten-year period beginning May 9, 1994. Shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan (Amended Plan) in October 1998, which extended the
availability of options to be granted to October 4, 2008. The Board of Directors adopted certain amendments in December 2006 to bring the Amended Plan into compliance with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Options to purchase 556,228 shares were cumulatively granted under the Plan before granting authority expired October 4, 2008, of which
273,565 remain outstanding as of September 23, 2008, including 211,478 that belong to the CEO.

All outstanding options under the 1993 Stock Option
Plan, or the Amended Plan, were granted at fair market value and expire ten years from the date of grant. Final expirations will occur in June 2014. Outstanding options to the CEO vested in six months, while options granted to non-employee directors
vested after one year. Outstanding options granted to other key employees vested in three equal annual installments.

The changes in outstanding and exercisable options involving both the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan are

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Shareholders approved the Employee Stock Option Plan (elsewhere referred to as Employee Stock Purchase Plan) in 1998. The Plan provides employees who have completed 90 days of continuous service with an opportunity to
purchase shares of the Companys common stock through payroll deduction. Immediately following the end of each semi-annual offering period, participant account balances are used to purchase shares of stock at 85% of the fair market value of
shares at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The Plan authorizes a maximum of 1,000,000 shares that may be purchased on the open market or from the Companys treasury. Through
April 30, 2008 (latest available data), 130,171 shares had been cumulatively purchased through the Plan. Shares purchased through the Plan are held by the Plans custodian until withdrawn or distributed. As of April 30, 2008, the
custodian held 35,098 shares on behalf of employees.

Frischs Executive Savings Plan

Common shares totaling 58,492 (as adjusted for changes in capitalization in earlier years) were reserved for issuance under the non-qualified Frischs Executive
Savings Plan (FESP) (see Benefit Plans in Note A  Accounting Policies) when it was established in 1993. As of September 23, 2008, 40,968 shares remained in the FESP reserve, including 7,377 shares allocated but not issued to participants.

There are no other outstanding options, warrants or rights.

Treasury Stock

As of September 23, 2008, the Companys treasury held 2,472,826 shares of the Companys common stock. Most of
the shares were acquired in a series of repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors from 1998 through January 2002, and through a modified Dutch Auction self-tender offer in 1997.

In January 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock in the open
market or through block trades over a two-year period that expires January 28, 2010. Since inception of the current authorization, the Company has acquired 29,274 shares under the program at a cost of approximately $693,000, including 3,800
shares from June 4, 2008 through September 23, 2008.

NOTE D - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)



Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period presented. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents, which assumes the exercise and conversion
of dilutive stock options.

Stock options to purchase 206,200 shares in the quarter ended September 23, 2008 and 51,400 in the quarter
ended September 18, 2007 were excluded from the calculation because the effect was anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Payment (Compensation Cost)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R) (SFAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payment requires the fair value of stock options
granted to be recognized as compensation cost. The cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Compensation costs arising from stock options granted are shown below:

NOTE D - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)



Dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield, which is considered the best estimate of
projected dividend yields within the contractual life of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock using the month end closing price of the previous five years. Risk free interest rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option. Expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise
behavior.

As of September 23, 2008, there was $248,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.17 years.

SFAS 123 (R) also requires compensation cost to be recognized in connection
with the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (described elsewhere in Note D). Compensation costs related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are determined at the end of each semi-annual offering periodOctober 31 and April 30.

NOTE E - PENSION PLANS

As discussed more fully in Note A
 Accounting Policies, the Company sponsors two qualified defined benefit plans plus an unfunded non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for highly compensated employees (HCEs). The following table shows
the components of net periodic pension cost for all three plans for the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007:

The Company contributes amounts to the two qualified defined benefit pension plans that are sufficient to satisfy
legal funding requirements, plus additional discretionary tax-deductible amounts that may be deemed advisable. Although no contributions are needed to meet minimum funding requirements for the year that will end June 2, 2009, discretionary
contributions are anticipated that are currently estimated at $1,000,000, including $100,000 that had been contributed through September 23, 2008. Obligations to participants in the SERP are satisfied in the form of a lump sum distribution upon
retirement of the participants.

Future funding of the defined benefit pension plans largely depends upon the performance of investments held in trusts
that have been established for the plans. Equity securities comprise 70 percent of the target allocation of the plans assets. As a result of recent market volatility, the market values of these securities have declined significantly, which
could materially affect future funding requirements and result in the recognition of much higher net periodic pension costs in future years.

NOTE E - PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)



Compensation expense (not included in the net periodic pension cost described above) relating to the Non Deferred
Cash Balance Plan (see Benefit Plans in Note A  Accounting Policies) was $98,000 and $71,000 respectively, during the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007. Fiscal 2009s contribution to the Non-Deferred
Cash Balance Plan is currently expected to approximate $320,000. In addition, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has an employment contract that allows additional annual contributions to be made for the CEOs benefit under the Non
Deferred Cash Balance Plan when certain levels of annual pretax earnings are achieved.

The Company also sponsors two 401(k) plans and a non-qualified
Executive Savings Plan for certain HCEs who have been disqualified from participation in the 401(k) plans (see Benefit Plans in Note A  Accounting Policies). In the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007,
matching contributions to the 401(k) plans amounted to $51,000 and $50,000 respectively. Matching contributions to the Executive Savings Plan (see Benefit Plans in Note A  Accounting Policies) were $8,000 in each of the sixteen weeks periods
ended September 23, 2008 and September 18, 2007.

The Company does not sponsor post retirement health care benefits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

First Quarter Fiscal 2009, Ended September 23, 2008



NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, purchase commitments are entered into with certain of the
Companys suppliers. Most of these agreements are typically for periods of one year or less in duration; however, longer term agreements are also in place. Future minimum payments under these arrangements are $3,524,000, $2,902,000, $2,902,000,
$2,902,000 and $1,869,000 respectively, for the periods ending September 23, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. These agreements are intended to secure favorable pricing while ensuring availability of desirable products. Management does not
believe such agreements expose the Company to any significant risk.

Litigation

The construction of a Golden Corral restaurant in Canton, Ohio was halted in August 2001 in order to assess structural concerns. In March 2002, a final assessment of the defects resulted in the Companys decision
to construct a new building on another part of the lot. (The restaurant finally opened for business in January 2003.) In July 2002, the general contractor that built the defective building filed a Demand for Arbitration against the Company seeking
$294,000 plus interest, fees, and costs it claimed were owed by the Company under the construction contract. The Company denied the claim and filed a counterclaim against the general contractor that alleged defective construction and claimed
damages, lost profits, interest and costs in an amount exceeding $1,000,000. In August 2006, the arbitration panel that heard the case awarded the Company $538,000 and denied the general contractors claim against the Company. The Company filed
a Motion to Modify the award to increase the time period for which the Company was entitled to damages, including interest, believing the arbitration panel inadvertently failed to consider the full range of time that was required for investigation
and to obtain building permits and other approvals associated with the replacement structure. The general contractor also filed a Motion to Modify, which alleged that the panel misinterpreted the testimony as to the calculation of lost profits. The
arbitration panel rejected both Motions in November 2006. The Company immediately filed an Application in the local court system to confirm the arbitration panels original award. The general contractor responded by filing a Motion with the
same Court to vacate the award. In April 2007, the Court granted the Companys Application and entered a judgment of $563,000 in favor of the Company; the general contractors Motion to vacate was denied. The general contractor filed a
Notice of Appeal in May 2007 and was required to issue a bond in the sum of $635,000 to secure a stay of the Companys execution on the judgment during the appeal process. Oral arguments were heard in the Court of Appeals on April 15,
2008. In August 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts decisions, leaving intact the judgment in favor of the Company. In October 2008, the general contractor filed a Memorandum in Support of Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme
Court, asking the Court to accept the contractors appeal. The Company is currently preparing its opposition brief.

In April 2008, the Company filed
five separate lawsuits against the lessor of five properties on which the Company operates five Big Boy restaurants. The Companys complaints claim breach of contract and ask for declaratory relief and specific performance to force the lessor
to allow the Company to purchase the underlying properties for certain amounts that are specified in the lease agreements, which taken together amount to $2,472,000. The lessor claims that the Company must purchase the properties for a larger amount
based upon alternative values in the lease agreements and market appraisal values. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and trial dates have not been scheduled.

The Company is subject to various other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not currently believe that any ultimate liability to resolve outstanding claims
will have a material impact on the Companys earnings, cash flows or financial position. Exposure to loss contingencies from pending or threatened litigation is continually evaluated by management, which believes adequate provisions for losses
have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

First Quarter Fiscal 2009, Ended September 23, 2008



NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Other Contingencies

The Company self-insures a significant portion of expected losses under its workers
compensation program in the state of Ohio. Insurance coverage is purchased from an insurance company for individual claims exceeding $300,000. (See Self Insurance in Note A  Accounting Policies.) Insurance coverage is maintained for various
levels of casualty and general and product liability.

An outstanding letter of credit for $100,000 is maintained by the Company in support of its
self-insurance program. There are no other outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company.

As of September 23, 2008, the Company operated 28
restaurants on non-owned properties. (See Note C  Leased Properties.) Certain of the leases provide for contingent rental payments, typically based on a percentage of the leased restaurants sales in excess of a fixed amount.

The Company is secondarily liable for the performance of a ground lease that has been assigned to a third party. The annual obligation of the lease approximates
$48,000 through 2020. Since there is no reason to believe that the third party will default, no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements for amounts that would be payable by the Company. In addition, the Company has the right
to re-assign the lease in the event of the third partys default.

NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company (Craig F. Maier), who also serves as a director of the Company, owns a Big Boy restaurant licensed to him by the Company. A Big
Boy licensed restaurant is owned by certain family members of another director of the Company (Blanche F. Maier) and a Big Boy licensed restaurant is owned by certain children of such other director (excluding Craig F. Maier), one of whom is also an
officer and director of the Company (Karen F. Maier).

These three restaurants pay to the Company franchise and advertising fees, employee leasing and
other fees, and make purchases from the Companys commissary. The total paid to the Company by these three restaurants amounted to $1,515,000 and $1,471,000 respectively, during the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008 and
September 18, 2007. The amount owed to the Company from these restaurants was $171,000 and $102,000 respectively, as of September 23, 2008 and June 3, 2008. Amounts due are generally settled within 28 days of billing.

All related party transactions described above were effected on substantially similar terms as transactions with persons having no relationship with the Company.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors (Jack C. Maier, deceased February 2005) from 1970 to 2005 had an employment agreement that contained a provision
for deferred compensation. The agreement provided that upon its expiration or upon the Chairmans retirement, disability, death or other termination of employment, the Company would become obligated to pay the Chairman or his survivors for each
of the next ten years the amount of $214,050, adjusted annually to reflect 50 percent of the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Monthly payments of $17,838 to the Chairmans widow (Blanche F. Maier), a director of the
Company, commenced on March 1, 2005. On March 1, 2008, the monthly payment was increased to $18,744 from $18,368 in accordance with the CPI provision of the agreement. The present value of the long-term portion of the obligation
approximating $1,090,000 is included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption Deferred compensation and other. The present value of the current portion of the obligation approximating $156,000 is included in current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT under the PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT of 1995

Forward-looking statements are
included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A). Such statements generally express managements expectations with respect to its plans, or its assumptions and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company. There can be no assurances that such expectations will be met or that future developments will not conflict with managements current beliefs and assumptions, as risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may materialize could cause actual results and performance to differ markedly from managements current judgment that is expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such
differences to occur include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Form 10-Q under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Words such
as should, would, could, may, plan(s), anticipate(s), project(s), believe(s), will, expect(s), estimate(s),
intend(s), continue(s), assumption(s), goal(s), target and similar words (or derivatives thereof) are generally used to distinguish forward-looking statements from historical or present
facts.

All forward-looking information in this MD&A is provided by the Company pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be evaluated in the context of all risk factors. Except as may be required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be contained in this MD&A.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW

The operations of Frischs
Restaurants, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Company) consist of two reportable segments within the restaurant industry: full service family style Big Boy restaurants and grill buffet style Golden Corral restaurants. As of
September 23, 2008, 88 Big Boy restaurants and 35 Golden Corral restaurants were owned and operated by the Company, located in various regions of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, plus smaller areas in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The Companys First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 consists of the sixteen weeks ended September 23, 2008, and compares with the sixteen weeks ended September 18,
2007, which constituted the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. The first quarter of the Companys fiscal year normally accounts for a disproportionate share of annual revenue and earnings because it contains sixteen weeks, whereas the following
three quarters normally contain only twelve weeks each. References to Fiscal 2009 refer to the 52 week year that will end on June 2, 2009. References to Fiscal 2008 refer to the 53 week year that ended June 3, 2008.

Net earnings for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 were $2,175,000, or diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $.42, compared with $2,450,000, or diluted EPS of $.47 in the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Sales reached a record $89,882,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, as sales modestly increased $355,000 above the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. Same store sales increased .2 percent in Big Boy restaurants and a 1.2 percent increase was achieved in Golden Corral restaurants. Earnings before income taxes during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 were $3,063,000, a
decline of $540,000 or 15 percent lower than the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. Two significant factors primarily account for the change:



| |  |  | Escalating food costs  as a percentage of sales, food costs increased to 37 percent in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, up from 35.3 percent in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2008.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Gains on the sale of real estate were $1,116,000 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, which were $592,000 more than gains in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another significant factor affecting the Companys operations has been the annual increase in the minimum wage as
mandated by Ohio voters.



| |  |  | The minimum wage was increased 33 percent from $5.15 per hour to $6.85 per hour beginning January 1, 2007. It was increased to $7.00 per hour on
January 1, 2008 in accordance with the mandates provision to adjust automatically for the rate of inflation.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The minimum wage for tipped employees increased 61 percent from $2.13 per hour to $3.43 per hour beginning January 1, 2007. It was increased to $3.50 per hour
on January 1, 2008 in accordance with the inflation provision in the mandate.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More than two-thirds of the Companys payroll
costs are incurred in Ohio. The effects of paying the required higher hourly rates of pay have effectively been countered with higher menu prices and reductions in the number of hours worked. The next Ohio wage increase goes into effect on
January 1, 2009. The new rates have yet to be published, but a $700,000 increase in payroll costs is expected, an amount equal to about one percent of payroll. Additional reductions in hours will likely be implemented, however, it should be
noted that this counter measure has its limitations.

Federal and Kentucky minimum wage increases went into effect respectively in July and June 2008,
which increased hourly rates for non-tipped employees from $5.85 per hour to $6.55 per hour. The effect of these increases on labor cost has not been significant because 1) Ohio minimum wage already exceeds the federal requirement and 2) conditions
in most other markets already dictated wage rates well in excess of $5.85 per hour and 3) the minimum rate for tipped employees remains at $2.13 per hour except in Ohio.

RESULTS of OPERATIONS

Sales

The Companys sales are primarily generated through the operation of Big Boy restaurants and Golden Corral restaurants. Big Boy sales also include wholesale sales from the Companys commissary to restaurants
licensed to other Big Boy operators and the sale of Big Boys signature brand tartar sauce to grocery stores. Same store sales comparisons are a key metric that management uses in the operation of the business. Same store sales are affected by
changes in customer counts and menu price increases. Changes in sales also occur as new restaurants are opened and older restaurants are closed. Below is the detail of consolidated restaurant sales:

Big Boy sales decreased $206,000 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 when compared against the First Quarter of
Fiscal 2008. The decrease was largely the result of temporarily closing an aging, high volume suburban Cincinnati unit for three months (June 8, 2008 to September 8, 2008) in order to replace it with a new facility. Same store sales increased
..2 percent during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. However, same store customer counts decreased 3.2 percent.

The Big Boy same store sales comparisons
include average menu price increases of 2.4 percent and 1.2 percent implemented respectively in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.In addition, a 1.6 percent increase was put in place in February 2008 to
which a .5 percent increase was added in April 2008. Another increase will likely be implemented in February 2009.

##### Table of Contents

The Company currently operates 89 Big Boy restaurants, including two new ones that opened respectively in August and
October 2008. Two low volume Big Boy restaurants ceased operating at the end of Fiscal 2008. No new Big Boy restaurants are currently under construction.

Golden Corral sales increased $562,000 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 when compared against the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.The Company currently operates 35 Golden Corral restaurants. The First Quarter of Fiscal 2009
contained 560 sales weeks compared with 551 sales weeks in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. In addition, same store sales increased 1.2 percent in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 when compared with the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. However,
customer counts decreased 2 percent.

The Golden Corral same store sales comparisons include average menu price increases of 2.5 percent and 3.2 percent
implemented respectively in September 2008 and October 2007. In addition, a .8 percent increase went into effect in March 2008 along with a .5 percent increase in June 2008.

Management believes a direct correlation continues to exist between the lower customer counts at both Big Boy and Golden Corral and the steep cost of gasoline, as the higher cost to fill up a tank left many consumers
with fewer dollars available to spend on a restaurant meal. The recent decline in the cost of gasoline to less than $3.00 per gallon may produce additional customer traffic.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Big Boy segment includes wholesale sales and cost of wholesale sales. Gross profit
differs from restaurant level profit disclosed in Note G (Segment Information) to the consolidated financial statements, as advertising expense is charged against restaurant level profit. Gross profit for both operating segments is shown below:

Volatile commodity markets continue to pose a difficult environment in which to contain food costs. Evidence of
sharply rising commodity prices can be clearly identified by the much higher food and paper cost percentages shown in the above table, despite higher menu prices being charged to customers. Recent months have seen rapid cost escalations, especially
for protein items such as poultry, pork, beef and fish products. The market for beef in particular remains highly volatile, as import and export restrictions can and do cause wide cost fluctuations. Beef prices are projected to increase
significantly over the coming months, the result of elevated

grain and energy costs. Over the last twelve months, currency markets relative to a weakened U.S. dollar greatly increased export levels of the three major
grains (corn, soybeans and wheat) that are the principal feed ingredients for cattle, hogs and poultry, which resulted in significant cost increases. Although the U.S. dollar has recently rebounded amid the worsening credit markets, a much greater
concern will now be the ability of certain vendors to obtain adequate short-term financing to meet their working capital needs, which could impair their ability to supply the marketplace.

The effect of commodity price increases is actively managed with changes to the Big Boy menu mix and effective selection of items served on the Golden Corral food bar,
together with periodic increases in menu prices. The food and paper cost percentages for the Golden Corral segment are much higher than the Big Boy segment because of the all-you-can-eat nature of the Golden Corral concept, as well as its use of
steak as a featured item on the buffet.

The favorable trends in payroll and related cost percentages in both operating segments is an indicator that the
mandated increases in the minimum wage have been effectively mitigated by higher menu prices and managements resolve to reduce the number of hours worked by hourly paid employees.

Management performs a comprehensive review each quarter of its self-insurance program for Ohio workers compensation and adjusts its reserves as deemed appropriate based on claims experience. No adjustment to the
reserves was necessary during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. An $18,000 charge against earnings was recorded during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008 to increase the reserves.

Net periodic pension cost (computed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions) was $485,000 and $381,000 respectively, in the First Quarter of Fiscal
2009 and the First Quarter of 2008. Although no contributions are needed to meet minimum funding requirements for Fiscal 2009, discretionary contributions are anticipated that are currently estimated at $1,000,000, including $100,000 that was
contributed during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. Future funding of the pension plans largely depends upon the performance of investments held in trusts that have been established for the plans. Equity securities comprise 70 percent of the target
allocation of the plans assets. As a result of recent market volatility, the market values of these securities have declined significantly, which could materially affect future funding requirements and result in the recognition of much higher
net periodic pension costs in future years.

Other operating costs include occupancy costs such as maintenance, rent, depreciation, property tax, insurance
and utilities; field supervision; accounting and payroll preparation costs; franchise fees for Golden Corral restaurants; opening costs and many other restaurant operating expenses. Opening costs were $329,000 for Big Boy restaurants and zero for
Golden Corral restaurants during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008, opening costs were $370,000 for Big Boy and $215,000 for Golden Corral. As most of the expenses charged to other operating costs tend to be
more fixed in nature, the percentages shown in the above table are greatly affected by changes in same store levels. The reduction in Golden Corral from 29.1 percent to 28.1 percent is the result of higher same store sales and lower depreciation
charges. The lower depreciation is the result of a charge for impairment of assets taken at the end of Fiscal 2008. Other operating costs are a much higher percentage of sales in the Golden Corral segment because sales volumes remain well below
original expectation.

Operating Profit

To arrive at
the measure of operating profit, administrative and advertising expense is subtracted from gross profit while franchise fees and other revenue is added to it. Gains and losses from sale of real property, if any, are then respectively added or
subtracted.

Administrative and advertising expense increased $92,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, or 2.1 percent higher than the First Quarter
of Fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to higher legal fees associated with litigation costs. Stock based compensation expense included in administrative and advertising expense was $78,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009,
and was $92,000 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Revenue from franchise fees is based on sales of Big Boy restaurants that are licensed to other
operators. The fees are based principally on percentages of sales generated by the licensed restaurants and are recorded on the accrual method as earned. As of September 23, 2008, 27 Big Boy restaurants were licensed to other operators and
paying franchise fees to the Company, a reduction of one restaurant from a year ago. Other revenue also includes certain other fees from licensed restaurants along with miscellaneous rent and investment income.

Gains from the sale of real property amounted to $1,116,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. The gains resulted primarily from the disposition of a Big Boy
restaurant that ceased operations in June 2008. Aggregate proceeds amounted to $1,581,000. Gains

##### Table of Contents

from the sale of real property amounted to $524,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. The gains resulted from the dispositions of three low volume Big
Boy restaurants that ceased operations respectively in January, April and June 2007. Aggregate proceeds amounted to $1,685,000.

No impairment of assets
was recorded during either the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 or the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 was $154,000 lower that the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008, a reduction of 20.7 percent. The reduction is the result of
lower debt levels and lower variable interest rates combined with much lower interest charges associated with capitalized leases. There are no longer any restaurant facilities leased by the Company that are classified as capital leases under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases as amended.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax earnings was estimated at 29 percent in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 and was 32 percent in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2008. The effective tax rate for Fiscal 2008 was ultimately lowered to 30.8 percent. These rates have been kept consistently low through the Companys use of tax credits, especially the federal credit allowed for Employer
Social Security and Medicare Taxes Paid on Certain Employee Tips. In addition, the reduction to 29 percent in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 reflects the statutory elimination of corporate income tax in the State of Ohio.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Funds

Food sales to restaurant customers provide the Companys principal source of cash. The funds from sales are immediately available for the Companys use, as
substantially all sales to restaurant customers are received in cash or are settled by debit or credit cards. The primary source of cash provided by operating activities is net earnings plus depreciation. Other sources of cash may include borrowing
against credit lines, proceeds received when stock options are exercised and occasional sales of real estate. In addition to servicing debt, these cash flows are utilized for discretionary objectives, including capital projects (principally
restaurant expansion) and dividends.

Working Capital Practices

The Company has historically maintained a strategic negative working capital position, a common practice in the restaurant industry. As significant cash flows are consistently provided by operations, and existing credit lines are readily
available, the use of this practice should not hinder the Companys ability to satisfactorily retire any of its obligations when due, including the aggregated contractual obligations and commercial commitments shown in the following table.

The working capital deficit was
$19,325,000 as of September 23, 2008 and was $20,142,000 as of June 3, 2008. The improvement in the deficit largely reflects a higher level of cash on hand.

Under a Construction Draw Credit Facility, $5,500,000 remains available to be borrowed before the Facility expires on September 1, 2010. Additionally, a $5,000,000 working capital revolving line of credit
(currently unused) is in place that is also available through September 1, 2010.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows were $4,729,000 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, or $1,119,000 higher than the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily
attributable to normal changes in assets and liabilities such as prepaid expenses, inventories and accounts payable, all of which can and do often widely fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Management measures cash flows from the operation of the
business by using the simple method of net earnings plus non cash expenses such as depreciation, losses (net of any gains) on dispositions of assets, charges for impairment of assets (if any) and stock based compensation expense. Under this method,
which is shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a sub-total, cash flows from the operation of the business in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 amounted to $5,300,000, a decrease of $1,013,000 from the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Investing Activities

Capital spending is the
principal component of investing activities. Capital spending was $7,595,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, an increase of $2,125,000 from the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008. This years capital spending includes $6,895,000 for Big Boy
restaurants and $700,000 for Golden Corral restaurants. These capital expenditures consisted of new restaurant construction, remodeling existing restaurants including kitchen and dining room expansions, routine equipment replacements and other
capital outlays.

Proceeds from disposition of property during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 amounted to $1,581,000, primarily reflecting the sale of an
older Big Boy restaurant that had ceased operations in June 2008. Its sale resulted in a gain of $1,072,000. Proceeds from dispositions of property in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2008 amounted to $1,711,000, primarily reflecting the sale of three
low-volume Big Boy restaurants that ceased operations respectively in January, April and June 2007. The sales of the three properties resulted in an aggregate gain of $524,000.

Financing Activities

Borrowing against credit lines amounted to $5,000,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009.
Scheduled and other payments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations amounted to $2,519,000 during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. Regular quarterly cash dividends paid to shareholders totaled $613,000. Dividends declared but not paid as
of September 23, 2008 totaled $613,000. The Company expects to continue its 48 year practice of paying regular quarterly cash dividends.

During the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, 1,000 shares of the Companys common stock were acquired pursuant to the exercise of stock options, yielding proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,000. As of September 23, 2008, 425,000 shares granted
under the Companys two stock option plans remain outstanding, including 364,000 fully vested shares at a weighted average exercise price per share of $19.90. As of September 23, 2008, approximately 638,000 shares remained available to be
granted under the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, net of 21,750 options granted to employees in June 2008. On October 7, 2008, 21,000 option shares were granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Granting authority under
the 1993 Stock Option Plan expired on October 4, 2008.

In January 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to
500,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or through block trades over a two-year period that will expire on January 28, 2010. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, 3,800 shares were acquired under the program at a cost of
$93,000. Since inception of the current authorization, 29,274 shares had been acquired through September 23, 2008 at a cost of $693,000.

Information

One new Big Boy restaurant opened for business during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009  in Winchester, Kentucky on August 11,
2008. In addition, a Big Boy restaurant re-opened in suburban Cincinnati on September 8, 2008 in a new building that replaced an older facility, which was taken out of service and razed in June 2008. One new Big Boy was under construction as of
September 23, 2008. It opened for business on October 13, 2008 in Dayton, Ohio.

Including land and land improvements, the cash required to build
and equip each new Big Boy restaurant currently ranges from $2,500,000 to $3,200,000. The actual cost depends greatly on the price paid for the land and the cost of land improvements, which can vary widely from location to location, and whether the
land is purchased or leased. A few promising sites are under contract for possible future acquisition. However, all of these contracts are cancellable at the Companys sole discretion while it pursues due diligence under the inspection period
provisions of the respective contracts.

Approximately one-fifth of the Big Boy restaurants are routinely renovated or decoratively updated each year. The
renovations not only refresh and upgrade interior finishes, but are also designed to synchronize the interiors and exteriors of older restaurants with the newer prototype restaurants that have been introduced in recent years. The cost to renovate a
typical older restaurant is approximately $150,000. Newer prototype restaurants also receive updates when they reach five years of age, which on average cost about $75,000. In addition, certain high-volume Big Boy restaurants are regularly evaluated
to determine whether their kitchens should be redesigned for increased efficiencies and whether an expansion of the dining room is warranted. A typical kitchen redesign costs approximately $125,000 while a dining room expansion can cost up to
$750,000.

Only one new Golden Corral restaurant has been opened in the last three years. Although the Company possesses development rights for up to
twelve more Golden Corrals, no further development is currently planned and there is no active search for sites on which to build. At the end of Fiscal 2008, management determined that the assets of three Golden Corral restaurant locations were
impaired and a non-cash pretax charge of $4,565,000 was recorded to lower the carrying values to fair value. The three impaired restaurants continue to operate.

Approximately one-fifth of the Golden Corral restaurants receive renovations each year. Some restaurants receive a complete renovation, including the installation of an Asian style pagoda bar. Other restaurants receive only the pagoda bar.
The total cost of the Golden Corral improvements in Fiscal 2009 will approximate $1,000,000.

The Companys policy is to own the land on which it
builds new restaurants. However, it is often necessary to enter ground leases to obtain desirable land on which to build. Eight of the 35 Golden Corral restaurants now in operation were built on leased land. Three Big Boy restaurants opened since
2003 were also built on leased land. All of these leases have been accounted for as operating leases pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases as amended.

As of September 23, 2008, 28 restaurants were in operation on non-owned premises, which are covered by 30 lease agreements. Five of the 30 leases are for Big Boy
facilities that are continuing to be occupied on a month-to-month basis until the Company acquires the properties from the landlord for certain amounts specified in the lease agreements, which taken together amount to $2,472,000. The landlord
disputes the amount, claiming the Company must purchase the properties for a larger amount based on alternative values and market appraisal values. The matter is the subject of continuing litigation.

In October 2008, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of an existing Big Boy restaurant from its landlord pursuant to the purchase option provision of the
lease agreement. The cost was $620,000.

APPLICATION of CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to use estimates and assumptions to measure certain items that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events, and assumptions about future events. Accounting estimates can and do change as
new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results may differ markedly from current judgment.

##### Table of Contents

Two factors are required for an accounting policy to be deemed critical. The policy must be significant to the fair
presentation of a companys financial condition and its results of operations, and the policy must require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The Company believes the following to be its critical accounting
policies.

Self Insurance

The Company self-insures a
significant portion of expected losses from its workers compensation program in the state of Ohio. The Company purchases coverage from an insurance company for individual claims in excess of $300,000. Reserves for claims expense include a
provision for incurred but not reported claims. Each quarter, the Company reviews claims valued by its third party administrator (TPA) and then applies experience and judgment to determine the most probable future value of incurred
claims. As the TPA submits additional new information, the Company reviews it in light of historical claims for similar injuries, probability of settlement, and any other facts that might provide guidance in determining ultimate value of individual
claims. Unexpected changes in any of these or other factors could result in actual costs differing materially from initial projections.

Pension Plans

Pension plan accounting requires rate assumptions for future compensation increases and the long-term return on plan assets. A discount rate is also
applied to the calculations of net periodic pension cost and projected benefit obligations. An informal committee consisting of executives from the Finance Department and the Human Resources Department, with guidance provided by the Companys
actuarial consulting firm, develops these assumptions each year. The consulting firm also provides services in calculating estimated future obligations and net periodic pension cost.

Assets of the pension plans are targeted to be invested 70 percent in equity securities, as these investments have historically provided the greatest long-term returns. To determine the long-term rate of return on
plan assets, the committee looks at the target asset allocation of plan assets and determines the expected return on each asset class. The expected returns for each asset class are combined and rounded to the nearest 25 basis points to determine the
overall expected return on assets. The committee determines the discount rate by looking at the projected future benefit payments and matches them to spot rates based on yields of high-grade corporate bonds. A single discount rate is selected, and
then rounded to the nearest 25 basis points, which produces the same present value as the various spot rates.

Future funding of the pension plans largely
depends upon the performance of investments held in the trusts that have been established for the plans. Equity securities comprise 70 percent of the target allocation of the plans assets. Recent market volatility has resulted in significant
declines in market values, which could materially affect future funding requirements and result in the recognition of much higher net periodic pension costs in future years.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. Property
and equipment typically approximates 85 to 90 percent of the Companys total assets. Judgments and estimates are used to determine the carrying value of long-lived assets. This includes the assignment of appropriate useful lives, which affect
depreciation and amortization expense. Capitalization policies are continually monitored to assure they remain appropriate.

Management considers a history
of cash flow losses on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis to be the primary indicator of potential impairment. Carrying values of property and equipment are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever events or circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may be impaired. When undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than carrying values, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which carrying values exceed the greater of the net present value of the future cash
flow stream or a floor value. Future cash flows can be difficult to predict. Changing neighborhood demographics and economic conditions, and many other factors may influence operating performance, which affect cash flows. Floor values are generally
determined by real estate brokers and/or managements judgment as developed through its experience in disposing of property.

##### Table of Contents

Sometimes it becomes necessary to cease operating a certain restaurant due to poor performance. The final impairment
amount can be significantly different from the initial charge, particularly if the eventual market price received from the disposition of the property differs materially from initial estimates of floor values.

Acquired goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES about MARKET RISKS
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

The
Company has no significant market risk exposure to interest rate changes as substantially all of its debt is currently financed with fixed interest rates. The Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
changes in interest rates. Any cash equivalents maintained by the Company have original maturities of three months or less. The Company does not use foreign currency.

Big Boy restaurants utilize centralized purchasing and food preparation, which is provided through the Companys commissary and food manufacturing plant. The Company believes the commissary operation ensures
uniform product quality and safety, timeliness of distribution to restaurants and creates efficiencies that ultimately result in lower food and supply costs. The commissary operation does not supply Golden Corral restaurants.

Commodity pricing affects the cost of many of the Companys food products. Commodity pricing can be extremely volatile, affected by many factors outside the
Companys control, including import and export restrictions, the influence of currency markets relative to the U.S. dollar, supply versus demand, production levels and the impact that adverse weather conditions may have on crop yields. Certain
commodities purchased by the commissary, principally beef, chicken, pork, dairy products, fish, french fries and coffee, are generally purchased based upon market prices established with vendors. Purchase contracts for some of these items may
contain contractual provisions that limit the price to be paid. These contracts are normally for periods of one year or less but may have longer terms if favorable long-term pricing becomes available. Food supplies are generally plentiful and may be
obtained from any number of suppliers, which mitigates the Companys overall commodity cost risk. Quality, timeliness of deliveries and price are the principal determinants of source. The Company does not use financial instruments as a hedge
against changes in commodity pricing.

Except for items such as bread, fresh produce and dairy products that are purchased from any number of local
suppliers, the Golden Corral segment of the business currently purchases substantially all food, beverage and other menu items from the same approved vendor that Golden Corral Franchising Systems, Inc. (Franchisor) uses in its operations. Deliveries
are received twice per week. Other vendors are available to provide products that meet the Franchisors specifications at comparable prices should the Company wish or need to make a change.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS and PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. The Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) reviewed and evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of September 23, 2008. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The CEO and CFO have concluded that there were no changes in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 23, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------



| | A. | The Company is the owner of a Golden Corral Restaurant located in North Canton, Ohio. In 2001, the Companys general contractor, Fortney & Weygandt, Inc.
(Fortney) constructed a Golden Corral Restaurant at the original location on the North Canton site. Geological conditions at the site required that the restaurant be built on a structural slab (platform), which rested upon driven piles.
The foundation system for the building had been designed by a Houston, Texas engineering firm, Maverick Engineering, Inc. (Maverick), a subcontractor to the Companys architect of record, LMH&T. Shortly before the scheduled
opening of the restaurant, it was discovered that design and construction errors had caused the building to shift, separating the building from its underground plumbing system. The Company elected to demolish the original structure, and subsequently
built a new building on a different section of the original parcel. The restaurants grand opening was, therefore, delayed until January 2003.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In July 2002, Fortney filed a Demand for Arbitration against the Company that sought recovery of its outstanding contract balance in the sum of $293,638, plus interest, fees, and costs. Fortney contended
that the Company owed this money to Fortney under the terms of the General Construction Contract. The Company denied that it owed these monies to Fortney, and filed a counterclaim against Fortney that alleged defective construction and claimed
damages, lost profits, interest and costs, in an amount exceeding $1,000,000. The arbitration hearing before the American Arbitration Association concluded February 28, 2006, with closing arguments held on June 30, 2006. On August 24,
2006, the arbitration panel awarded the Company $537,967 and denied Fortneys claim against the Company. The Company filed a Motion to Modify the award to increase the time period for which the Company was entitled to damages, including
interest, believing the arbitration panel inadvertently failed to consider the full range of time that was required for investigation and to obtain building permits and other approvals associated with the replacement structure. Fortney also filed a
Motion to Modify, alleging that the panel misinterpreted the testimony as to the calculation of lost profits. The arbitration panel rejected both Motions in November 2006. The Company immediately filed an Application in the Cuyahoga County (Ohio)
Court of Common Pleas to confirm the arbitration panels original award. Fortney responded by filing a Motion with the same court to vacate the award. On April 24, 2007, the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas granted the Companys
Application and entered a judgment of $562,669 in favor of the Company; Fortneys Motion to vacate was denied. On May 1, 2007, Fortney filed a Notice of Appeal and was required to issue a bond in the sum of $635,044 to secure a stay of the
Companys execution on the judgment during the appeal process. Oral arguments were heard on April 15, 2008 in the Court of Appeals, Eighth Appellate District, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. On August 18, 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed
the lower courts decisions, leaving intact the judgment in favor of the Company. In October 2008, Fortney filed a Memorandum in Support of Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court, asking the Court to accept Fortneys appeal. The Company
is currently preparing its opposition brief.

In August 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Stark County (Ohio) Court of Common Pleas
against LMH&T, the architect that designed the defective building. The lawsuit alleged negligent design as a causal factor in the demise of the original structure. The Company sought damages including lost profits, interest, and costs exceeding
$2,500,000. LMH&T brought into the lawsuit its structural engineering consultant, Maverick, as well as the Companys soils consultant, Cowherd Banner Carlson Engineering, collectively, the trial court defendants. In July 2003, the Company
resolved all claims, counterclaims, and cross-claims, against and involving the trial court defendants when LMH&T and Maverick agreed to pay to the Company the sum of $1,700,000 in full and final settlement of all claims. The Company received
the settlement funds in full and the case was dismissed. The resolution between the Company and the trial court defendants is separate and apart from the on-going dispute between Fortney and the Company.



| | B. | In April 2008, the Company filed five separate lawsuits against 7373 Corporation (7373). 7373 is the lessor of five properties on which the Company operates five Big Boy
restaurants. The Companys complaints claim breach of contract and ask for declaratory relief and specific performance. In May 2008, 7373 filed its Answers and Counterclaims. The Company maintains that it should be allowed to purchase the
underlying properties for certain amounts that are specified in the Lease Agreements, which taken together amount to $2,471,540. 7373 claims that the Company must purchase the properties for a larger amount based upon alternative values in the Lease
Agreements and market appraisal values. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and trial dates have not been set for the cases listed below, all of which were filed in the respective counties in which the underlying property is situated:

The Company has filed motions to consolidate the Kentucky cases into the Kenton County Circuit Court. 7373 has agreed to consolidate the two Kenton County
cases and an agreed order to that effect is pending. On June 13, 2008, the Jefferson County Circuit Court entered an Order granting the Companys Motion to Transfer and Consolidate to the Kenton County Circuit Court. On June 18, 2008,
the Franklin County Circuit Court heard oral argument on the Companys Motion to Transfer and Consolidate. The Court in Franklin County has not ruled on the Motion and has indicated it has taken the Motion under advisement. A decision was
expected by the end of August 2008. However, the Court has yet to rule. On June 23, 2008, the Warren County Court of Common Pleas entered an Order denying the Companys Motion to Stay the Proceedings. The Companys Motion had sought
to halt the proceedings in Warren County pending the outcome of the consolidated action in Kentucky. On August 21, 2008, the Warren County Judge issued a ruling allowing the Company to file a Motion for Summary Judgment immediately following
the deposition of a former employee of the Company. 7373 has indicated that it will file a Motion for Summary Judgment at the same time. A decision on each Motion for Summary Judgment is expected before December 31, 2008.

On April 2, 2008, 7373 filed a lawsuit against the Company in Palm Beach County Florida, Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Case
No. 50-2008 CA009950XXXXMB. (7373 is headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida.) 7373s complaint asks for declaratory relief and specific performance as to the lease disputes involved in the Kenton County Circuit Court Case No. 08-CI-1079
and Franklin County Circuit Court Case No. 08-CI-609. On May 19, 2008, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, Or In the Alternative, Motion to Abate. On June 25, 2008, the Court in Palm Beach County
granted the Companys Motion to Abate the legal action pending the outcome of the Kentucky cases. On July 7, 2008, 7373 filed a Motion requesting the Court in Palm Beach County to reconsider its ruling to abate, which is currently pending.



| | C. | The Company is subject to various other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not currently believe that any ultimate
liability to resolve outstanding claims will have a material impact on the Companys earnings, cash flows or financial position. Exposure to loss contingencies from pending or threatened litigation is continually evaluated by management, which
believes adequate provisions for losses have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The Company continually takes reasonable
preventive measures to reduce its risks and uncertainties. However, the nature of some risks and uncertainties provides little, if any, control to the Company. The materialization of any of the risks and uncertainties identified herein, together
with those risks not specifically listed or those that are presently unforeseen, could result in significant adverse effects on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows, which could include the permanent closure of
any affected restaurant(s) with an impairment of assets charge taken against earnings, and could adversely affect the price at which shares of the Companys common stock trade.

Food Safety

Food safety is the most significant risk to any company that operates in the restaurant industry. It is
the focus of increased government regulatory initiatives at the local, state and federal levels. To limit the Companys exposure to the risk of food contamination, management rigorously emphasizes and enforces the Companys food safety
policies in all of the Companys restaurants, and at the commissary and food manufacturing plant that the Company operates for Big Boy restaurants. These policies are designed to work cooperatively with programs established by health agencies
at all levels of government authority, including the federal Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) program. In addition, the Company makes use of ServSafe Training, a nationally recognized program developed by the National Restaurant
Association. The ServSafe program provides accurate, up-to-date science-based information to all levels of restaurant workers on all aspects of food handling, from receiving and storing to preparing and serving. All restaurant managers are required
to be certified in ServSafe Training and are required to be re-certified every five years.

Failure to protect the Companys food supplies could
result in food borne illnesses and/or injuries to customers. Publicity of such events in the past has caused irreparable damages to the reputations of certain operators in the restaurant industry. If any of the Companys customers become ill
from consuming the Companys products, the affected restaurants may be forced to close. An instance of food contamination originating at the commissary operation could have far reaching effects, as the contamination would affect substantially
all Big Boy restaurants.

Economic Factors

The
Companys operations are predominantly located in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, where consumer confidence remains markedly below national average and other regions. The effects of higher gasoline prices in particular can impact discretionary
consumer spending in restaurants. The Companys costs are also affected by increasing energy prices. Petroleum based material is often used to package certain products for distribution. In addition, many suppliers have added surcharges for fuel
to their invoices. The cost to transport products from the commissary to restaurant operations will rise with each increase in gasoline prices. Higher natural gas prices have resulted in much higher costs to heat restaurant facilities and to cook
food. Inflationary pressure, particularly on food costs, labor costs (especially associated with increases in the minimum wage) and health care benefits, can also negatively impact the operation of the business. Shortages of qualified labor may also
be experienced in certain local economies. In addition, the loss of a key executive could pose a significant adverse effect on the Company.

Future funding
requirements of the two qualified defined benefit pension plans that are sponsored by the Company largely depend upon the performance of investments that are held in trusts that have been established for the plans. Equity securities comprise 70
percent of the target allocation of the plans assets. As a result of recent market volatility, the market values of these securities have declined significantly, which could materially affect future funding requirements and result in the
recognition of much higher net periodic pension costs in future years.

Competition

The restaurant industry is highly competitive and many of the Companys competitors are substantially larger and possess greater financial resources than does the Company. Both the Big Boy and Golden Corral
operating segments have numerous competitors, including national chains, regional and local chains, as well as independent operators. None of these competitors, in the opinion of the Company, presently dominate the family-style sector of the
restaurant industry in the Companys operating markets. That could change at any time due to:



| |  | changes in economic conditions
|- |  | ------------------------------



37

##### Table of Contents

| |  | changes in demographics in neighborhoods where the Company operates restaurants
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | increased competition from supermarkets and other non-traditional competitors
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | increased competition for quality sites on which to build restaurants
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Development Plans

The Companys business strategy and development plans also face risks and uncertainties.
These include the inherent risk of poor management decisions in the selection of sites on which to build restaurants, the ever rising cost and availability of desirable sites and increasingly rigorous requirements on the part of local governments to
obtain various permits and licenses. Other factors that could impede plans to increase the number of restaurants operated by the Company include saturation in existing markets and limitations on borrowing capacity and the effects of higher interest
rates.

The Supply and Cost of Food

Food purchases can
be subject to significant price fluctuations that can considerably affect results of operations from quarter to quarter. Price fluctuations can be due to seasonality or any number of factors. The market for beef, in particular, continues to be
highly volatile due in part to import and export restrictions. Higher beef costs have also been driven by bio-fuel initiatives that vastly increase the cost to feed cattle. The Company depends on timely deliveries of perishable food and supplies.
Any interruption in the continuing supply would harm the Companys operations.

Litigation and Negative Publicity

Employees, customers and other parties bring various claims against the Company from time to time. Defending such claims can distract the attention of senior level
management away from the operation of the business. In addition, negative publicity that may be associated with any adverse judgment that may be rendered against the Company could harm the Companys reputation, which in turn could adversely
affect operating results. Other negative publicity such as that arising from rumor and innuendo can also create adverse effects on results of operations.

Governmental and Other Rules and Regulations

Governmental and other rules and regulations can pose significant risks to the Company.
Examples include:



| |  | changes in environmental regulations that would significantly add to the Companys costs
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | exposure to penalties for potential violations of numerous governmental regulations in general, and immigration (I-9) and labor regulations regarding the employment
of minors in particular
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | any future imposition by OSHA of costly ergonomics regulations on workplace safety
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | legislative changes affecting labor law, especially increases in the federal or state minimum wage requirements
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | legislation or court rulings that result in changes to tax codes that are adverse to the Company
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | changes in accounting standards imposed by governmental regulators or private governing bodies could adversely affect the Companys financial position
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | estimates used in preparing financial statements and the inherent risk that future events affecting them may cause actual results to differ markedly
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Catastrophic Events

Unforeseen
catastrophic events could disrupt the Companys operations, the operations of the Companys suppliers and the lives of the Companys customers. The Big Boy segments dependency on the commissary operation in particular could
present an extensive disruption of products to restaurants should a catastrophe impair its ability to operate. Examples of catastrophic events include but are not limited to:



| |  | adverse winter weather conditions

Technology and Information Systems

The strategic nature of technology and information systems is of vital importance
to the operations of the Company. Events that could pose threats to the operation of the business include:



| |  | catastrophic failure of certain information systems
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | security violations or any unauthorized access to information systems
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | financial stability of technology vendors to support software over the long-term
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden Corral

Golden Corral same-store sales declines have been experienced in seventeen of the last twenty
quarters, during which cash flows from Golden Corral operations have deteriorated. The ability of the Company to identify the root cause of the downturn, thereby allowing corrective measures to be set in place, being critical to the restoration of
sales and margin growth, poses a significant risk to the Company.



|ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES of EQUITY SECURITIES and USE of PROCEEDS
