Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BUCA, Inc. and subsidiaries (BUCA, we, our, or us) develop, own and operate Italian
restaurants under the name Buca di Beppo. At July 1, 2007, we owned 91 Buca di Beppo restaurants located in 25 states and the District of Columbia.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us without audit and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial
position and the results of operations for the interim periods. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) and with the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to rules and regulations relative to interim financial statements. Operating results for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 30, 2007.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date,
but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

As described in Note 3, Discontinued Operations and Assets
Held for Sale, we have reclassified Vinny Ts of Boston and three Buca di Beppo closed restaurants financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented. These notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
except where otherwise indicated, relate to continuing operations only.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have stock-based compensation plans under which we issue stock options, non-vested share awards (restricted stock) and discounted purchase rights. Our
2006 Omnibus Stock Plan (the 2006 Plan) allows our board of directors to grant options to purchase shares of our stock to eligible employees for both incentive and non-statutory stock options. Options granted under the 2006 Plan vest as determined
by the board of directors (generally five years) and are exercisable for a term not to exceed ten years. The 2006 Plan was approved by our shareholders in June 2006, at which time we ceased granting any future awards under our prior stock option
plans. A total of 2,100,000 shares are reserved under the 2006 Plan.

Our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) permits eligible employees to
purchase stock at 85% of the fair market value on either the first or last day of the purchase period.

It is our policy to issue new
shares when options are exercised, upon granting restricted stock and to fulfill employee purchases through the ESPP.

We adopted the fair
value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (123(R)) as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2006, requiring us to recognize expense related to the
fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R). Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
July 1, 2007, includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 25, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation; (b) compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted subsequent to December 25, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R); and (c) compensation expense for the discount eligible employees receive as part of the ESPP. We recognize compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over
the requisite service period of the award. Total share-based compensation included in general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was $0.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and $0.5
million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2006.

The following table summarizes the stock option transactions for the twenty-six
weeks ended July 1, 2007:

As of July 1, 2007, there was approximately $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans. Total unrecognized compensation expense will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. We expect to recognize that cost over a
weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In 2005, our board of directors approved the engagement of an investment banker to represent us in the planned sale of the Vinny Ts of Boston
restaurants. Also in 2005, we closed three Buca di Beppo restaurants. The Vinny Ts of Boston brand and associated assets and the three individual restaurants, as aggregated, meet the definition of a component of an entity.
Operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished and measured at the restaurant level and, when aggregated with the Vinny Ts of Boston events noted above, the financial results of the three closed restaurants were determined to be
material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 25, 2005, Vinny Ts of Boston was accounted for as an asset held for sale and, along with the three closed restaurants, was included in discontinued operations in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations and assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

We completed the sale of the Vinny Ts of Boston restaurants to Bertuccis Corporation on September 25, 2006 (first day of our fiscal
fourth quarter). Based on the sale proceeds, less anticipated costs to sell, we analyzed the carrying values of the Vinny Ts of Boston long-lived assets and intangibles and recorded an impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 of
approximately $0.4 million as of September 24, 2006. The sale price was $6.8 million; of which $3.0 million was paid in cash at the closing ($2.6 million net of banker fees and other expenses) and $3.8 million was paid through a promissory note
issued at closing. The sale resulted in a $0.3 million gain that was recorded as of December 31, 2006.

The promissory note was set to
mature on June 15, 2008 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain other events, including a change in control of Bertuccis or the repayment or refinancing of Bertuccis outstanding senior notes. Bertuccis prepaid the note on
July 17, 2007; as a result, we received $3.9 million in full payment of the note.

Liabilities classified as discontinued operations
consisted of (in thousands):

|(1) | We closed three Buca di Beppo restaurants in November 2005. We reached an agreement with the landlords of two of the restaurants to terminate the leases and have reached an
agreement to sublease one of the properties. The fair value of these liabilities were estimated in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.This required us to
either negotiate a settlement with the landlord or estimate the present value of the future minimum lease obligations offset by the estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the properties. We expect to pay these amounts in
2007.

4. LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may
not be recoverable, but at least quarterly. We consider a history of consistent and significant operating losses to be a primary indicator of potential asset impairment. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level for which
there are identifiable cash flows, primarily the individual restaurants. A restaurant is deemed to be impaired if a forecast of its future operating cash flows directly related to the restaurant is less than its carrying amount. If a restaurant is
determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the restaurant exceeds its fair value. Fair value is an estimate based on the best information available including prices for similar assets or the results
of valuation techniques such as discounted estimated future cash flows, as if the decision to continue to use the impaired restaurant was a new investment decision. If these assumptions change in the future, we may be required to take additional
impairment charges for the related assets. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

We recorded losses of $0.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2007 and $0.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007
mostly due to recording impairment on one of our restaurants. We recorded losses of $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2006 and $0.2 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2006 related to the purchase of
property and equipment in restaurants that previously have been fully impaired due to amounts not being recoverable by future cash flows of the restaurant.

5. NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER SHARE

Net loss from continuing operations per share is computed in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net loss from
continuing operations per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement is intended to simplify accounting
for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for such hybrid financial instruments. We are required to adopt SFAS 155 for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of our first fiscal year
that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have any effect on our financial statements.

In March
2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue 06-03, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). A
consensus was reached that entities may adopt a policy of presenting sales taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. If taxes are significant, an entity should disclose its policy of presenting taxes and the amounts of
taxes. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We present revenues net of sales taxes. This issue will not impact the method for presenting these sales taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive financial statement model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to
take in its income tax returns. FIN 48 requires that only income tax benefits that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold be recognized or continue to be recognized on the effective date. Initial derecognition amounts
would be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We analyzed our tax positions as
of July 1, 2007 and determined that the implementation of FIN 48 has no impact on our financial statements as we maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets due to our continued operating losses. Interest and penalties
related to tax benefits are not material to our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of defined benefit and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement
of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through an adjustment to comprehensive income. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date
of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have any effect on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which
permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial statements.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48(the FSP).
The FSP provides guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under the FSP, a tax position could be effectively settled on
completion of examination by a taxing authority if the entity does not intend to appeal or litigate the

result and it is remote that the taxing authority would examine or re-examine the tax position. Application of the FSP was upon the initial adoption date of
FIN 48. The FSP did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation  In February 2005, we announced that the SEC had informed us that it has issued a formal order of investigation to determine
whether there have been violations of the federal securities laws. We understand that the order of investigation relates to our internal controls and compliance with rules governing filings and reports, including public disclosures, required to be
filed with the SEC, and the 2002 purchase of an old farmhouse in Italy known as Villa Sermenino. We believe the SEC largely has completed its investigation of the company, with which we cooperated and assisted, and we expect to reach a
resolution of this matter with the SEC.

Three virtually identical civil actions were commenced against our company and three former
officers in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota between August 7, 2005 and September 7, 2005. The three actions have been consolidated. The four lead plaintiffs filed and served a Consolidated Amended Complaint
(the Complaint) on January 11, 2006. The Complaint was brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who purchased our common stock in the market during the time period from February 6, 2001 through March 11, 2005
(the class period). We filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on October 16, 2006. On December 18, 2006, the lead plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint (Second Complaint). The
Second Complaint alleges that in press releases and SEC filings issued during the class period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements about our companys income, revenues, and internal controls, which allegedly had the
result of artificially inflating the market price for our stock. The lead plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seek compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, plus an award of
attorneys fees and costs of litigation. On February 26, 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss the Second Complaint, which was heard on June 22, 2007. The Court has not yet issued a ruling on the motion. We are not able to predict the
ultimate outcome of this litigation, but it may be costly and disruptive. The total costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Federal securities litigation can result in substantial costs and divert our managements attention and
resources, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, including cash flows.

We are subject to
certain other legal actions arising in the normal course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

9. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143. We adopted FIN 47 as of
December 25, 2005. In accordance with FIN 47, liabilities for legal obligations stemming from the eventual retirement of tangible long-lived assets (leasehold improvements) were recorded at fair value as of December 25, 2005, with a
corresponding increase to the carrying values of the related long-lived assets.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

At July 1, 2007, we owned and operated 91 Buca di Beppo restaurants. These full
service restaurants offer high quality, Italian cuisine served family-style in small and large family-sized portions in a fun and energetic atmosphere that parodies the decor and ambiance of post-War Italian/American restaurants.

During fiscal 2006, we did not open any new restaurants. We sold the Vinny Ts of Boston brand and associated restaurants in September 2006. During
the first twenty-six weeks in fiscal 2007, we closed two restaurants and did not open any new restaurants.

In 2005, our board of directors
approved the engagement of an investment banker to represent us in the planned sale of the Vinny Ts of Boston restaurants. Vinny Ts of Boston was accounted for as assets held for sale as of December 25, 2005 and has been
included in discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Financial results related to the three Buca di Beppo restaurants we
closed in 2005 have also been classified as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on assets held for sale and discontinued
operations. Except where otherwise indicated, the following discussion relates to continuing operations only.

We will continue to review
all of our restaurant locations for potential impairment and potential closure. The lease on one of our restaurants expired in February 2007 and we made the decision to not exercise our option to renew the lease. This restaurant was closed in
February 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we reached an agreement with the landlord of another of our restaurants terminate the lease. We recorded a charge of $0.3 million related to the lease termination and broker fees, fully offset
by the write-off of the $0.3 million deferred rent liability. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we reached an agreement to sell and lease-back one of our restaurants. We expect to complete the sale in August 2007.

We intend to resume new restaurant openings and are working toward opening three to five new restaurants in fiscal 2008. We are also exploring the option
of franchising and selling development rights to our restaurants in certain select markets.

During fiscal 2006, we implemented a price
increase of approximately 3.0% on food items at our Buca di Beppo restaurants. The primary reason for this price increase was to offset rising operational costs, particularly in product and occupancy expenses. Also during fiscal 2006, we added our
lunch menu to an additional 66 restaurants; the majority of those being added in the fiscal fourth quarter, bringing the total number of restaurants serving lunch at the end of fiscal 2006 to 75, or 82% of our system. On January 1, 2007, we
implemented a price increase of 2.0% on food items primarily to offset rising operational costs due to increases in the minimum wage.

Results of
Operations

Our operating results for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and June 25, 2006 expressed as a
percentage of restaurant sales were as follows:

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 1, 2007 Compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended June 25, 2006

Restaurant Sales. Our restaurant sales are primarily comprised of food and beverage sales. Restaurant sales increased by
approximately $1.1 million, or 1.8%, to $62.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $61.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in restaurant sales was primarily the result of the addition of the lunch day-part at
many of our restaurants as compared to the prior year . Coupons and other discounts are accounted for as a direct reduction in restaurant sales. Restaurant sales for both periods reflect total discounts of approximately $2.4 million.

Our calculation of comparable restaurant sales includes restaurants open for 18 full months and
results compared on a 52-week comparable basis. Comparable restaurant sales exclude the impact of the additional 53rdweek that occurred in fiscal 2006.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, comparable restaurant sales increased 3.7% at our Buca di Beppo restaurants. The increase in comparable restaurant sales was primarily driven by increased lunch sales and to-go sales and the 2.0% price increase
on dinner food menu items implemented on January 1, 2007. We expect that our Buca di Beppo comparable restaurant sales will be positive for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Product. Product costs increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 1.3%, to $15.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $15.1 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Product costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 24.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 24.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in product costs in dollars was primarily due to a
higher level of sales. The decrease in product costs as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by decreases in prices of poultry, produce and seafood and menu changes that changed the mix of seafood items that we sell. We expect product costs as
a percentage of sales to decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

Labor. Labor
costs include direct hourly labor and management wages, bonuses, taxes and benefits for restaurant employees. Labor costs increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 6.4%, to $21.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $20.2 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Labor cost as a percentage of sales increased to 34.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 33.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in labor costs in dollars was primarily related to increases
in the minimum wage and increases in non-exempt labor attributable to the addition of the lunch day-part to more of our restaurants. The increase in dollars was also related to an increase in non-exempt severance. The increase in labor costs as a
percentage of sales was primarily driven by increases in the minimum wage and in non-exempt labor hours as well as non-exempt severance. We expect labor costs as a percentage of sales to increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to
the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

Direct and Occupancy. Direct and occupancy expenses include supplies, marketing, rent, utilities,
real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, workers compensation, general liability insurance expense, rental expenses and other related restaurant costs. Direct and occupancy expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 5.1%, to $18.5
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $17.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Direct and occupancy costs as a percentage of sales increased to 29.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 28.9% in the same period in fiscal
2006. The increase in direct and occupancy expenses in dollars and as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of increases in business taxes and supplies and to a lesser extent, increases in credit card fees and repairs and maintenance. We
expect direct and occupancy expenses as a percentage of sales to increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation on property and equipment for our restaurants and the Paisano Support Center which is our Company headquarters. Depreciation
and amortization decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 3.0%, to $3.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $3.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Depreciation and amortization decreased as a percentage of sales to
5.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 5.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decreases in dollars and as a percentage of sales were primarily due to reduced depreciation expense as our assets become more fully depreciated. We expect
depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales to remain flat or decrease slightly in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include management and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, information
systems, guest services, training, and market research expenses associated with the Paisano Support Center. General and administrative expenses were $5.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 which was the same as the second quarter of fiscal
2006. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 9.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2007, general and administrative expenses in dollars were
unchanged as a result of offsetting lower employee training expenses, and administrative fees by increased consulting expenses related to prototype and site modeling projects in preparation for opening new stores as well as increased insurance
expense. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to remain flat in
the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

Loss on Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.Loss on
impairment of long-lived assets primarily relates to fixed asset impairment charges on restaurants. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $0.7 million compared to $0.1 million during the same period
in 2006. The 2007 charge was primarily due to recording impairment on one of our restaurants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense
includes the financing cost on our credit facilities and capital leases. Interest expense was $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, unchanged from the amount incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Interest expense on our credit
facility was approximately $0.2 million while interest expense on our capital leases was approximately $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Income Taxes. We did not record a benefit from or provision for income taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 or 2006. We recorded a tax valuation allowance because we concluded that we remained in a
position that may not allow for realization of the asset. We will continue to record a tax valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that we will be able to recover the value of our deferred tax assets.

Discontinued Operations. In 2005, our board of directors approved the engagement of an investment banker to represent us in the sale of the
Vinny Ts of Boston restaurants and we closed three Buca di Beppo restaurants. In September 2006, we sold the Vinny Ts of Boston brand and the associated restaurants. Vinny Ts of Boston along with the three closed Buca di Beppo
restaurants have been accounted for as discontinued operations under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.Net loss from discontinued operations was $32,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007
compared to net income of $0.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. Vinny Ts of Boston had $0.8 million in net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to no activity during the same period in fiscal 2007. The closed
restaurants had no activity during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect the net loss from discontinued operations to decrease during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

Net Loss. The second quarter of fiscal 2007 resulted in a net loss of $3.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.7 million during the same period
in fiscal 2006. As a percentage of sales, net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 5.2% compared to net loss of 1.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The change of the net loss in absolute dollars of the net loss and as a percentage
of sales was primarily a result of increased labor and increases in labor expense as a percentage of sales, as well as higher supply costs.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 1, 2007 Compared to the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 25, 2006

Restaurant Sales. Restaurant sales decreased by approximately $1.0
million, or 0.8%, to $124.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 from $125.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. The decrease in restaurant sales was primarily the result of a shift in our fiscal calendar due to the fact that fiscal 2006
included a 53rdweek. The additional 53rdweek of fiscal 2006
consisted of the relatively high sales week prior to and including New Years Eve. The addition of that week in fiscal 2006 meant that our first quarter of fiscal 2007 excluded that relatively high sales week. The first quarter of fiscal 2006
included the week prior to and including New Years Eve. The first half of fiscal 2007 was also negatively impacted by the closure of two of our restaurants as well as adverse weather conditions which resulted in several restaurant closures for
parts of various days as well as the closure of two restaurants. Restaurant sales in the first half of fiscal 2007 reflect total discounts of approximately $6.2 million compared to $6.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2006.

For the first half of fiscal 2007, comparable restaurant sales increased 1.9%. The increase in comparable restaurant sales was primarily
driven by lunch sales at the additional stores serving lunch, increased to-go sales and the 2.0% price increase on dinner food menu items implemented January 1, 2007. Comparable restaurant sales were impacted by adverse weather conditions in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Product. Product costs decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 1.3%, to $30.7 million in the
first half of fiscal 2007 from $31.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. Product costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 24.6% in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 24.7% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The decrease in product costs
dollars was primarily due to reductions in sales and in both food and bar costs . The decrease in product costs as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by decreases in bar costs resulting from the implementation of standardized pricing during
fiscal 2006 which resulted in a net price increase and to a lesser extent by decreases in prices of poultry and seafood and menu changes that changed the mix of seafood items that we sell.

Labor. Labor costs increased by approximately $2.5 million, or 6.1%, to $43.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 from $40.9 million in the
first half of fiscal 2006. Labor cost as a percentage of sales increased to 34.7% in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 32.5% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The increase in labor costs in dollars was primarily related to increases in the minimum
wage and increases in non-exempt labor attributable to the addition of the lunch day-part to more of our restaurants as well as non-exempt severance. The increase in labor costs as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by increases in the
minimum wage and in non-exempt labor hours as well as non exempt severance. The decrease in sales in the first half of fiscal 2007 also contributed to the increase in labor costs as a percentage of sales.

Direct and Occupancy. Direct and occupancy expenses increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 3.6%, to $37.6 million in the first half of fiscal
2007 from $36.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. Direct and occupancy costs as a percentage of sales increased to 30.1% in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 28.8% from the same period in fiscal 2006. The increase in direct and occupancy
expenses in dollars was primarily the result of increased repair and maintenance expenses, increases in to-go supplies related to increased to-go sales, increases in credit card fees, and increases in real property expenses. The increase in direct
and occupancy expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily related to decreases in sales, increases in repair and maintenance obligations, and to a lesser extent by increases in credit card fees and increases in supplies.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4.6%, to $6.2 million for the first half
of fiscal 2007 from $6.5 million during the first half of fiscal 2006. Depreciation and amortization decreased as a percentage of sales to 5.0% in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 5.2% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The decreases in dollars and
as a percentage of sales were primarily due to reduced depreciation expense as our assets become fully depreciated.

General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses include management and staff salaries, employee benefits, travel, information systems, guest services, training, and market research expenses associated with the Paisano Support Center. General
and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 13.3%, to $11.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 from $9.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 8.9% in the first half of fiscal 2007 from 7.8% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of sales was primarily due to a $1.8 million insurance related
settlement recorded during the first half of fiscal 2006 that reduced general and administrative expenses for that period. In addition, increases in consulting expenses related to prototype and site modeling projects in preparation for opening new
stores were more than offset by reductions to bonus accruals for the period.

Loss on Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded
fixed asset impairment charges of $0.8 million compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2006. The 2007 charge was primarily due to recording impairment on one of our restaurants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 13.3%, to $1.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to $1.5
million during the first half of fiscal 2006. Interest expense on our credit facility was approximately $0.4 million while interest expense on our capital leases was approximately $0.6 million in the first half of 2007. The decrease primarily
resulted from a reduction in long-term debt.

Income Taxes. We did not record a benefit from or provision for income taxes in the
first half of fiscal 2007 or 2006. We recorded a tax valuation allowance because we concluded that we remained in a position that may not allow for realization of the asset. We will continue to record a tax valuation allowance until it becomes more
likely than not that we will be able to recover the value of our deferred tax assets.

Discontinued Operations. Net loss from
discontinued operations was $0.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to net income of $0.9 million in the same half of fiscal 2006. Vinny Ts of Boston had $1.0 million in net income during the first half of fiscal 2006 compared
to no activity during the same period in fiscal 2007. In addition, the closed restaurants incurred $0.1 million in lease termination expenses during the first half of fiscal 2007.

Net Loss. The first half of fiscal 2007 resulted in a net loss of $6.0 million compared to net income of $0.6 million during the same period in
fiscal 2006. As a percentage of sales, net loss for the first half of fiscal 2007 was 4.8% compared to net income of 0.4% in the first half of fiscal 2006. The change in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales was primarily a result of
decreased sales, increased labor expense and the impact of the insurance settlement recorded in the first half of fiscal 2006.

Operating Activities.The increase of $1.9 million in the use of cash in operating
activities is primarily related to the $1.5 million of proceeds from insurance settlements received during the first twenty-six weeks of 2006 and to a lesser extent related to reduced sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, increases in labor
related to increases in the minimum wage and increases in repairs and maintenance. The fiscal 2007 activity included operating cash uses of approximately $0.4 million related to discontinued operations

Investing Activities. The decrease of $0.8 million in the use of cash in investing activities is primarily related to the cash used for the
purchase of a new accounting system during the same period in fiscal 2006. The fiscal 2007 activity did not include any investing cash uses relating to discontinued operations.

We use cash for property and equipment primarily to fund the development and construction of new restaurants and secondarily to fund capitalized property
improvements for our existing restaurants. We are currently evaluating new prototypes for potential new restaurants to be opened in fiscal 2008 and beyond. We anticipate that total cash investment per Buca di Beppo restaurant, including pre-opening
costs, will be approximately $2.5 to $3.0 million.

Financing Activities. Financing activities during the first half of fiscal 2007 and 2006 primarily
included borrowing and repayments from/to our credit facility.

Credit Facility. In 2004, we entered into a credit agreement with
Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and Ableco Finance LLC, as lenders, and with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as the arranger and administrative agent for the lenders. The credit agreement expires on November 15, 2009. We are also required under the loan
documents to pay certain of our lenders an annual fee, an unused line of credit fee and a prepayment fee in the event of early termination of the agreement.

The credit agreement includes various affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants such as minimum EBITDA as defined in the agreement, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum
limits on capital expenditures and the acquisition or construction of new restaurants in any fiscal year. Payments under the credit agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the credit agreement, that is
not otherwise waived or cured. As of March 27, 2005, we were in default of the financial covenants regarding minimum EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result, an amendment and waiver was negotiated and received in April 2005. In
exchange for the amendment and waiver, we paid our lenders fees totaling $0.4 million and the interest rate on the term loan B portion of the credit facility was increased. Based upon the fiscal 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements, as of
December 25, 2005, we were in default of the financial covenants regarding minimum EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result, an amendment and waiver was negotiated and received in March 2006. In exchange for the amendment and waiver,
we paid our lender a fee of $0.1 million.

In September 2005, we completed the sale and simultaneous leaseback of eight restaurant
locations with affiliates of CRIC Capital at a sale price of $17.5 million (the Sale Leaseback Transaction). The net proceeds of the Sale Leaseback Transaction were used to prepay, in its entirety, the outstanding term loan B facility
with Ableco and to prepay a portion of the outstanding term loan A facility with Wells Fargo Foothill. A premium equal to four percent of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan B was paid in connection with the prepayment of the term loan
B facility. Concurrently with the closing of the Sale Leaseback Transaction, we entered into an agreement (the Amendment and Consent) with the lenders. Pursuant to the Amendment and Consent, the lenders consented to the Sale Leaseback
Transaction (subject to the prepayment of the term loan B facility and term loan A facility as provided above), agreed to amend the minimum EBITDA coverage required for relevant testing periods in fiscal year 2007, and agreed to amend the credit
agreement in certain other respects. In consideration of the Amendment and Consent, we agreed to increase the interest rate on each of the remaining term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility by 2.25% per annum.

On September 24, 2006, we completed the sale of Vinny Ts of Boston restaurants to Bertuccis Corporation. The sale price was $6.8
million; of which, $3.0 million was paid in cash at closing ($2.6 million net of banker fees and other expenses) and $3.8 million was paid through a promissory note issued at closing. The proceeds of the sale, net of investment banker fees and other
transaction-related expenses, were used to retire the term loan A and reduce our outstanding indebtedness on the revolving credit facility. The promissory note matures on June 15, 2008 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain other events,
including a change in control of Bertuccis or the repayment or refinancing of Bertuccis outstanding senior notes. Bertuccis prepaid the note on July 17, 2007; as a result, we received $3.9 million in full payment of the note
which was applied against our outstanding borrowings.

On March 8, 2007, we executed an amendment to our credit agreement with Wells
Fargo Foothill. Pursuant to the amendment, the lender agreed to expand our maximum revolver amount to $25 million and agreed to amend the credit agreement in certain other respects. In exchange for the amendment, we paid our lender a fee of $50,000.
As of April 1, 2007, and July 1, 2007, we were in default of the financial covenant regarding minimum EBITDA. As a result, a waiver was negotiated and received in May 2007 and August 2007, respectively. In exchange for the waivers, we paid
our lender a waiver fee of $25,000 and $50,000, respectively.

The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is Wells Fargos
reference rate plus a margin. The specific margin corresponds to a range (0.5 to 2.0 percentage points) as determined by our leverage ratio. We also have the option of utilizing a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a specific margin as
determined by our leverage ratio. Our interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 10.25% on July 1, 2007 and 10.75% on December 31, 2006. Under the credit facility, our annual capital expenditures are limited to $13.0 million and
the agreement includes covenants that place restrictions on sales or properties, transactions with affiliates, creation of additional debt, limitations on our ability to sign leases for new restaurants, maintenance of certain financial covenants and
other customary covenants.

Amounts borrowed under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our tangible and intangible
assets. As of August 6, 2007, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $2.1 million under our revolving credit facility and our availability under the revolving credit facility was approximately $6.1 million.

Our capital requirements, including development costs related to the opening of additional restaurants,
have been significant. We reduced our development plans beginning in fiscal 2005 while we implemented strategies designed to improve our comparable restaurant sales and our cash flow from operations. We may need substantial capital to finance our
expansion plans, which require funds for capital expenditures, pre-opening costs and initial operating losses related to new restaurant openings. The adequacy of available funds and our future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the pace of expansion, the costs and capital expenditures for new restaurant development and the nature of contributions, loans and other arrangements negotiated with landlords. Although we can make no assurance, we believe that our
available cash, cash flows from operations, and our available borrowings will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements through at least the next twelve months. To fund future operations, we may need to raise additional capital through public
or private equity or debt financing to continue our growth. In addition, we have and may continue to consider acquiring the operations of other companies. The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our
shareholders. We cannot predict whether additional capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those we believe are both most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our critical accounting policies include: property and
equipment, leases, impairment of long-lived assets, self-insurance, income taxes, estimated liability for closing restaurants, loss contingencies and share-based compensation. A more in-depth description of all other policies can be found in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which became effective for us beginning in fiscal 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determination of how tax
benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will
be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The impact of our reassessment of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. For additional
information regarding the adoption of FIN 48, see Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

See Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion on new accounting standards.

Inflation

The primary inflationary factors affecting
our operations are food and labor costs. A large number of our restaurant personnel are paid at rates based on the applicable minimum wage, and increases in the minimum wage directly affect our labor costs. To date, inflation has not had a material
impact on our operating results.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor
provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to us at the time the statements
were made. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify the forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that these statements are reasonable, you should be aware that actual results could differ materially from those projected by the forward-looking statements. Because actual results may differ, readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Our restaurants feature Italian cuisine served both in individual and family-style portions. Our
continued success depends, in part, upon the popularity of this type of Italian cuisine and this style of informal dining. Shifts in consumer preferences away from our cuisine or dining style could materially adversely affect our future
profitability. Also, our success depends to a significant extent on numerous factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions, disposable consumer income and consumer confidence. Adverse changes in these factors could
reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Certain of these risk factors are more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2006. We caution you, however, that the list of factors above may not be exhaustive and that those or other factors, many of which are outside of our control, could have a material adverse effect on us and our results of
operations. All forward-looking statements attributable to persons acting on our behalf or us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth here. We assume no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreement. The credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of a borrowing base determined
in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement and $25.0 million (including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to an aggregate of $5.0 million). The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is Wells Fargos reference rate plus a
margin. The specific margin corresponds to a range (0.5 to 2.0 percentage points) as determined by our leverage ratio. We also have the option of utilizing a LIBOR rate plus a specific margin as determined by our leverage ratio. As of August 6,
2007, we had approximately $2.1 million outstanding in debt borrowings under our credit facility. Thus, a 1% change in interest rates would cause annual interest expense to increase by $21,000.

We have no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

Many of the food products purchased by us are affected by commodity pricing and are, therefore, subject to price volatility caused by weather, production
problems, delivery difficulties and other factors that are outside our control. To control this risk in part, we have fixed price purchase commitments for food and supplies from vendors who supply our national food distributor. In addition, we
believe that substantially all of our food and supplies are available from several sources, which helps to control food commodity risks. We believe we have the ability to increase menu prices, or vary the menu items offered, if needed, in response
to a food product price increase. To compensate for a hypothetical price increase of 10% for food and beverages, we would need to increase menu prices by an average of 2.5%, which is only slightly more than our average price increases of
approximately 3% in fiscal 2006, 0.5% in fiscal 2005 and 1% in fiscal 2004. Accordingly, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase in food product costs would not have a material effect on our operating results.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

In February 2005, we announced
that the SEC had informed us that it has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether there have been violations of the federal securities laws. We understand that the order of investigation relates to our internal controls and
compliance with rules governing filings and reports, including public disclosures, required to be filed with the SEC, and the 2002 purchase of an old farmhouse in Italy known as Villa Sermenino. We believe the SEC largely has completed
its investigation of the company, with which we cooperated and assisted, and we expect to reach a resolution of this matter with the SEC.

Three virtually identical civil actions were commenced against our company and three former officers in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota between August 7, 2005 and September 7, 2005. The three actions
have been consolidated. The four lead plaintiffs filed and served a Consolidated Amended Complaint (the Complaint) on January 11, 2006. The Complaint was brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who purchased our
common stock in the market during the time period from February 6, 2001 through March 11, 2005 (the class period). We filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on October 16, 2006. On December 18,
2006, the lead plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint (Second Complaint). The Second Complaint alleges that in press releases and SEC filings issued during the class period, defendants made materially false and
misleading statements about our companys income, revenues, and internal controls, which allegedly had the result of artificially inflating the market price for our stock. The lead plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seek compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, plus an award of attorneys fees and costs of litigation. On February 26, 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss the Second Complaint, which was heard on
June 22, 2007. The Court has not yet issued a ruling on the motion. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation, but it may be costly and disruptive. The total costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Federal
securities litigation can result in substantial costs and divert our managements attention and resources, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, including cash flows.

From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate
dispositions of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

There have been no material changes
in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Our Paisano Partner program requires our Paisano Partners to purchase either $10,000 or $20,000 of our common stock at fair market value. Our Chef Partner program allows chefs who wish to become Chef Partners to purchase $5,000 of our
common stock at fair market value. We provide the Paisano and Chef Partners the option to finance the purchase of the common stock with a full recourse loan payable over five years at a fixed interest rate of 8%. We have the option, but not the
obligation, to repurchase all of the shares purchased and paid for by a Partner under the program at the purchase price of the shares paid by the Partner either (1) upon the initial bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Partner within five
years after the purchase date of the equity interest or (2) if the Partners employment with us is terminated for any reason within five years after the purchase date of the equity interest. The following table represents the repurchase of
Paisano Partner and Chef Partner equity shares issued in accordance with this program during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
