                AMERICAN RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       MANAGEMENT OPINION

         The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included were prepared
         by American Restaurant Group, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, in
         accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. In
         the opinion of the Company's management, these Consolidated Condensed
         Financial Statements contain all adjustments (all of which are of a
         normal recurring nature except for the discontinued operations)
         necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
         December 27, 1999 and June 26, 2000, and the results of its operations
         for the thirteen weeks and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1999 and
         June 26, 2000 and its cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June
         28, 1999 and June 26, 2000. The Company's results for an interim period
         are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
         the year.

         Although the Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair
         presentation of the interim periods presented are included and that the
         disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
         misleading, the Company suggests that these Consolidated Condensed
         Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
         Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's annual
         report on Form 10-K, File No. 33-48183, for the year ended December 27,
         1999.

2.       SALE OF STOCK TO NBACO, INC.

         The Company sold all of the outstanding stock of four wholly owned
         subsidiaries (Grandy's, Inc., Spoons Restaurants, Inc., Spectrum Foods,
         Inc., and Local Favorite, Inc., collectively, the "Non-Black Angus
         Subsidiaries") to NBACo, Inc. Effective June 26, 2000 the Company was
         due proceeds in the amount of $17.0 million from the sale of the
         Non-Black Angus Subsidiaries. This amount was received on June 28,
         2000. The consideration was determined by arm's length negotiations
         among the parties. There was no gain or loss recorded because the stock
         was sold to a controlling entity. The paid-in capital account was
         reduced by a net amount of $26.4 million because of the sale of stock
         to NBACo, Inc. The stock sale included releasing the Non-Black Angus
         Subsidiaries from liability for the obligations of the Company. The
         Company retained the assets and liabilities associated with certain
         closed restaurants as well as certain liabilities associated with the
         operating restaurants that were sold.

3.       OPERATIONS

         The Company's operations are affected by local and regional economic
         conditions, including competition in the restaurant industry. The
         Company has had recurring operating losses in recent years. A
         recapitalization plan was consummated during 1998. This plan
         substantially eliminated debt principal payments until the year 2003.

4.       INCOME TAXES

         The tax provision against the Company's pre-tax income in 1999 and in
         2000 consisted of certain state income tax and estimated Federal income
         tax payments. The Company previously established a valuation allowance
         against net operating loss carryforwards.

5.       CREDIT FACILITY AND PREFERRED STOCK

         In the second quarter of 2000 the Company became aware of and agreed to
         an interpretation of the financial covenants under its revolving credit
         facility (the "Credit Facility") which required a waiver of
         noncompliance and revised covenants, both of which were accomplished.
         This interpretation also affected the dividend rate on the Company's
         preferred stock and, accordingly, the Company has accrued for preferred
         stock dividends related to prior periods at higher dividend rates than
         had been used at the time.

6.        SEGMENT REPORTING

          Effective December 28, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
          an Enterprise and Related Information. As a result of the sale of the
          outstanding stock of four of its wholly owned subsidiaries effective
          June 26, 2000, the Company has only one operating segment, Black
          Angus.

7.        SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS

          Separate financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries are not
          included in this report on Form 10-Q because the subsidiaries are
          fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally liable for the
          obligations of the Company under the Company's 11 1/2% Senior Secured
          Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Secured Notes"), and the aggregate net
          assets, earnings and equity of such subsidiary guarantors are
          substantially equivalent to the net assets, earnings and equity of the
          Company on a consolidated basis.

Food and Beverage Costs. As a percentage of revenues, food and beverage costs
from continuing operations increased to 33.7% in the second quarter of 2000 from
33.4% in the second quarter of 1999. The increase was related primarily to
higher meat and seafood costs.

Payroll Costs. As a percentage of revenues, labor costs from continuing
operations decreased to 27.0% in the second quarter of 2000 from 27.8% in the

and other expenses incurred by individual restaurants. As a percentage of
revenues, these costs from continuing operations decreased to 23.1% in the

depreciation of fixed assets as well as amortization of intangible assets. As a
percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization from continuing operations
decreased to 3.0% in the second quarter of 2000 from 3.3% in the second quarter
of 1999.

second quarter of 2000 from 11.5% in the second quarter of 1999. The Company's
weight-averaged debt balance (excluding capitalized lease obligations) increased
to $160.6 million in 2000 from $159.8 million in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and
borrowings under its Credit Facility. The Company requires capital principally
for the acquisition and construction of new restaurants, the remodeling of
existing restaurants and the purchase of new equipment and leasehold
improvements. As of June 26, 2000, the Company had cash of $15.4 million. The
Company recorded a receivable from NBACO, Inc. for $17.0 million for the sale
of stock which was paid on June 28, 2000. The proceeds of the sale of the
Non-Black Angus Subsidiaries will be applied by the Company to repay a portion
of the Senior Secured Notes and/or for general corporate purposes.

In general, restaurant businesses do not have significant accounts receivable
because sales are made for cash or by credit card vouchers which are ordinarily
paid within three to five days, and restaurant businesses do not maintain
substantial inventory because of the relatively brief shelf life and frequent
turnover of food products. Additionally, restaurants generally are able to
obtain trade credit in purchasing food and restaurant supplies. As a result,
restaurants are frequently able to operate with working capital deficits, i.e.,
current liabilities exceed current assets. At June 26, 2000, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $12.2 million.

The Company estimates that capital expenditures of $3.0 million to $4.0 million
are required annually to maintain and refurbish its existing restaurants. Other
capital expenditures, which are generally discretionary, are primarily for the
construction of new restaurants and for expanding, reformatting and extending
the capabilities of existing restaurants and for general corporate purposes.
Total capital expenditures year-to-date were $4.0 million and $3.2 million in
2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company estimates that capital expenditures in
2000 will be approximately $8.0 million. The Company intends to open new
restaurants with small capital outlays and to finance most of the expenditures
through operating leases.

The Company is obligated to make semiannual interest payments on the Senior
Secured Notes each February 15 and August 15 through February 2003. Accordingly,
an interest payment of $9.1 million was made in February 2000.

On June 28, 2000, the Company amended the terms of the Credit Facility to reduce
the aggregate commitment of the lenders from $15 million to $12 million, to
reduce the amount available for issuances of letters of credit from $10 million
to $7 million and to extend the maturity date from February 25, 2001 to June 30,
2002. On June 28, 1999 and June 26, 2000, the Company had outstanding letters of
credit primarily related to its self-insurance programs of $3.6 million and $6.9
million, respectively. As of June 26, 2000 letters of credit were the only
drawing against the Credit Facility, with $5.1 million available under the
Credit Facility.

Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged to secure the Credit
Facility and the Senior Secured Notes. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries
have guaranteed the indebtedness owed by the Company under the Credit Facility
and the Senior Secured Notes and such guarantees are secured by substantially
all of the assets of the subsidiaries. In connection with such indebtedness,
contingent and mandatory prepayments may be required under certain specified
conditions and events. There are no compensating balance requirements.

Although the Company is highly leveraged, based upon current levels of
operations and anticipated growth, the Company expects that cash flows generated
from operations together with its other available sources of liquidity will be
adequate to make required payments of principal and interest on its
indebtedness, to make anticipated capital expenditures and to finance working
capital requirements. However, the Company does not expect to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to pay the Senior Secured
Notes upon maturity and, accordingly, it expects to refinance all or a portion
of such debt, obtain new financing or possibly sell assets.

ITEM 3.     DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
