NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. and Subsidiaries (“FCCG” or the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), particularly Rule 10-01thereof, which governs the presentation of interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 on Form 10-K ( 220;2008 Form 10-K”) as previously filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010. Except as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements in its 2008 Form 10-K.

In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments, comprised of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements, have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s operations and activities have become more focused on restaurant activities, and less focused on finance and real estate. As a result, certain reclassifications of the balances and modifications to the presentation of the financial statements have been made. None of these changes in presentation affected previously reported results of operations.

At June 30, 2009, certain Company officers and directors controlled, directly or indirectly, a significant voting majority of the Company’s outstanding shares.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

The following significant events affected our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009:

Bankruptcy Proceedings

On April 6, 2009, certain controlled subsidiaries of Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California – San Fernando Valley Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The entities involved and the case numbers assigned to the subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries”) are as follows:

Fatburger Restaurants of California, Inc., Case No. 1:09-bk-13964-GM

Fatburger Restaurants of Nevada, Inc., Case No.1:09-bk-13965-GM

The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered. Since the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing date, the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries have been operating their bankruptcy estates as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On or about November 3, 2009, the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries filed a joint plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement. The Bankruptcy Court is currently considering the plan of reorganization and disclosure statement.

During the time that the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries are under bankruptcy protection, the Company will be deemed to not be in control of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries. As a result, certain assets, liabilities and the results of operations of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries were no longer part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company effective as of the date of the Chapter 11 Cases. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had recorded an Investment in Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries in the amount of $4.0 million, which represents the Company’s net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries.

Index

Borrowings

On June 26, 2009, certain Fatburger entities entered into two loan agreements in the total amount of $1.5 million.

The Debtor in Possession Subsidiaries borrowed $1.1 million (the “DIP Loan”) under authorization of the Bankruptcy Court. The loan matures June 26, 2010 and bears interest at 15%. The DIP loan is secured by the assets of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries and is further guaranteed and secured by the Company and other non-Debtor Fatburger entities.

In addition, Fatburger Corporation and Fatburger North America, Inc. borrowed $0.4 million (the “Non-DIP Loan”) from the same lender. The Non-DIP loan matures June 26, 2010 and bears interest at 15%. The Non-DIP loan is secured by the assets of Fatburger Corporation and Fatburger North America, Inc and is further guaranteed and secured by the Company.

Restaurant openings and closures

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Fatburger Holdings Inc. (“Fatburger”), the Company’s restaurant operations subsidiary, opened six additional franchise locations. In addition, one location was converted from a franchise-owned to a company-owned restaurant and one franchise location and four company-owned locations (including locations owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries) were closed.

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES & OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Warlick complaints

On October 16, 2006, Fatburger Holdings, Inc., Fatburger Corporation and Fatburger North America, Inc. filed suit against Keith A. Warlick (“Warlick”) the former Chief Executive Officer of Fatburger Holdings, Inc. and Fatburger Corporation. Warlick’s employment with Fatburger was terminated on September 21, 2006 by resolution of the board of directors of Fatburger Holdings, Inc. The Fatburger companies initiated the lawsuit to recover damages from Warlick arising from wrongful acts and conduct during and after his employment, and are asserting claims for: breach of contract, breach of duty of loyalty, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion – embezzlement; fraud/commencement; intentional interference with contractual relations, and equitable indemnity. Warlick filed an answer to the lawsuit denyi ng the allegations and included a Cross-complaint against Fatburger Holdings, Inc., Fatburger Corporation, Fatburger North America, Inc., Fog Cutter Capital Group, Inc., and Andrew Wiederhorn (“Cross-Defendants”), for breach of contract, employment discrimination based on race and retaliation, wrongful termination and defamation – slander without any specification of damages. On a motion filed by the Cross-Defendants, the Court dismissed Warlick’s cross-claim for employment discrimination based on race and retaliation. In October 2009, the parties reached an agreement in principal to settle all claims alleged in this lawsuit and the settlement was completed on March 5, 2010. The settlement did not have a material effect on the consolidated statements of financial condition or the consolidated statement of operations of the Company.

On February 6, 2007, Warlick, his wife, and a limited liability company controlled by Warlick, each of whom is a minority shareholder of Fatburger Holdings, Inc., filed a complaint against various Fatburger entities, the Company, Andrew Wiederhorn, and members of the Fatburger board of directors. The complaint alleges fraud, negligent misrepresentation against Wiederhorn and the Company, and breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against all the defendants, related to business transactions which the plaintiff’s allege were not in the best interests of Fatburger Holdings, Inc., or the plaintiff minority shareholders. The defendants disputed the allegations of the lawsuit and vigorously defended against the claims. In October 2009, the parties reached an agreement in principal to settle all claims alleged in this l awsuit and the settlement was completed on March 5, 2010. The settlement did not have a material effect on the consolidated statements of financial condition or the consolidated statement of operations of the Company.

Other litigation

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business which management believes will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.

Liquidity

The sale of real estate and other investments has historically been a recurring part of operations and a source of liquidity. However, most of those investments have been liquidated as the Company focused on the Fatburger operations. Borrowings and Fatburger’s operations are now the major sources of liquidity for the Company and management expects these sources, including the sale of Fatburger franchises, to generate adequate cash flow to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for the 2009 fiscal year.

Index

Fatburger Debt Covenant

As of June 30, 2009, Fatburger had not made all of the required payments on indebtedness with an outstanding principal balance of $3.9 million. As a result, the lender has declared the indebtedness in default and has accelerated the maturity date of the entire balance. If the Company is unsuccessful in renegotiating the debt with the lender and obtaining waivers of the default, the resulting consequences could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operation. In addition to the payment default, at December 31, 2008, Fatburger was not in compliance with all obligations under the agreements evidencing its indebtedness, as defined in the applicable agreements, due to its failure to meet the prescribed fixed charge coverage ratio and the prescribed debt-co verage ratio in three notes payable. The Company is in discussions with the lender to restructure the debt.

Dividends

The Company does not have a fixed dividend policy, and may declare and pay new dividends on common stock, subject to financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. One factor the Board of Directors may consider is the impact of dividends on the Company’s liquidity. No dividends were declared in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Fatburger operations

The Company is pursuing a growth strategy at Fatburger through developing additional franchisee restaurants. Fatburger development involves substantial risks that the Company intends to manage; however, it cannot be assured that present or future development will perform in accordance with the Company’s expectations or that any restaurants will generate the Company’s expected returns on investment. The Company’s inability to expand Fatburger in accordance with planned expansion or to manage that growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition. In addition, if Fatburger or its franchisees are unsuccessful in obtaining capital sufficient to fund this expansion, the timing of restaurant openings may be delayed and Fatburger’s result s may be harmed.

Other

The Company has various operating leases for office, manufacturing and retail space which expire through 2017. The leases provide for varying minimum annual rental payments including rent increases and free rent periods. The Company has future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more of approximately $19.9 million as of June 30, 2009.

There were no other off balance sheet arrangements in effect during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

NOTE 4 – STOCK OPTIONS AND RIGHTS

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) that provides for options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Option Plan is 3,500,000. Newly elected independent directors automatically receive 5,000 options on the day they join the Board of Directors. Additionally, each independent director receives, on the last day of each quarter, an automatic qualified grant of non-qualified options to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock at 110% of the fair market value on that day. Automatic grants vest one third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Company granted a total of 9,000 options to its independent directors in the six months ending June 30, 2009.

There were no options granted with exercise prices below the market value of the stock at the grant date. Fair values for the second quarter of 2009 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used: 0% dividend yield, expected volatility of 103%, risk-free interest rate of 4.7% and expected lives of ten years.

A summary of our stock options activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is presented below:

Other accrued liabilities also include $2.1 million in accrued professional fees and $1.0 million in accrued interest payable.

NOTE 7 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments consist of (i) restaurant operations conducted through Fatburger, (ii) manufacturing activities conducted through DAC International, and (iii) real estate and financing activities. Each segment operates with its own management and personnel. The Company allocates certain corporate expenses to Fatburger through a management fee to reflect management’s increased involvement in the restaurant operations and to more closely represent the true costs of restaurant operations in the appropriate segment reporting. The management fee is eliminated upon consolidation. The following is a summary of each of the operating segments:

Restaurant operations

As of June 30, 2009, the Company owned approximately 82% of the voting control of Fatburger, which operates or franchises 92 hamburger restaurants located primarily in California and Nevada, as well as 12 other states, Canada, United Arab Emirates and China. Franchisees currently own and operate 60 of the Fatburger locations. Twenty-eight restaurants are currently owned and operated by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries. During the bankruptcy period, the Company is being reimbursed for certain costs supporting the operation of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Restaurant openings

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, Fatburger has opened seven additional franchise locations, including new restaurants in Jakarta, Beijing and United Arab Emirates. During this period, Fatburger has closed two Company-owned locations and three franchise locations.

Purchase of Land

On December 24, 2009, the Company acquired all of the membership interests in Highland Road Properties LLC (“HRP”) from an entity controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Wiederhorn. HRP is a special purpose entity that owns approximately 6 acres of residential land in Portland Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Wiederhorn had previously allowed the land to be part of a pool of collateral securing indebtedness of the Company and it became necessary for the Company to have direct ownership of HRP in order to protect the remaining collateral. The Company paid $750,000 for the HRP interests. The Highland Road land is being used by the Company as collateral for certain borrowings of the Company. The Board of Directors approved the purchase of HRP and determined that the transaction was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. On February 17, 2010, the Company caused HRP to transfer the land to certain lenders for a partial reduction in debt of $350,000.

Guarantee of Debt

Certain of the Company’s lenders have, from time to time, required that Mr. Wiederhorn personally guarantee the Company’s debt obligations. As of March 15, 2010, Mr. Wiederhorn had personally guaranteed approximately $8.9 million in debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. On March 23, 2010, the Company granted Mr. Wiederhorn a security interest in the assets of Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. to secure his performance in the event he is required to perform under the guarantees.

Executive Overview

Business overview

Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. is primarily engaged in the operations of its Fatburger Holdings, Inc. (“Fatburger”) restaurant business. We acquired the controlling interest in Fatburger in August 2003 and currently own 82% voting control. Fatburger, “The Last Great Hamburger Stand”®, opened its first restaurant in Los Angeles in 1952. As of June 30, 2009, there were 92 Fatburger restaurants located primarily in California and Nevada, as well as in 12 other states and in Canada, United Arab Emirates and China. The restaurants specialize in fresh, made to order hamburgers and other specialty sandwiches. French fries, homemade onion rings, hand-scooped ice cream shakes and soft drinks round out the menu.

We plan to open additional Fatburger restaurants throughout the United States and internationally, including Canada, China, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. We intend to continue to increase the number of franchised locations in the U.S. and internationally. Franchisees currently own and operate 60 of the Fatburger locations and we have agreements for approximately 100 new franchise locations. Twenty-eight restaurants are currently owned and operated by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries. During the bankruptcy period, we are not consolidating the operations of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries in our financial statements, but we are being reimbursed for certain costs supporting the operation of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Many factors affect our ability to open new franchise locations and we expect that it will take several years for our current franchisees to open all of their restaurant locations. As is typical for our industry, the identification of qualified franchisees and quality locations has an impact on the rate of growth in the number of our restaurants.

In addition to our restaurant operation, we also conduct manufacturing activities and make real estate and other real estate-related investments through various controlled subsidiaries.

Index

Operating segments

Our operating segments are:

(i)

Restaurant operations – conducted through our Fatburger subsidiary,

(ii)

Manufacturing operations – conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, DAC International (“DAC”), and

(iii)

Real estate and financing operations.

Due to the varied nature of our operations, we do not utilize a standard array of key performance indicators in evaluating our results of operations. Our evaluation instead focuses on an investment-by-investment or asset-by-asset analysis within our operating segments.

Significant events

The following significant events affected our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009:

Bankruptcy Proceedings — On April 6, 2009, certain of our controlled subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California – San Fernando Valley Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The entities involved and the case numbers assigned to the subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries”) are as follows:

Fatburger Restaurants of California, Inc., Case No. 1:09-bk-13964-GM

Fatburger Restaurants of Nevada, Inc., Case No.1:09-bk-13965-GM

During the time that the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries are under bankruptcy protection, we will be deemed to not be in control of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries. As a result, certain assets, liabilities and the results of operations of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries were no longer part of our consolidated financial statements effective as of the date of the Chapter 11 Cases. As of June 30, 2009, the we had recorded an Investment in Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries in the amount of $4.0 million, which represents our net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries.

Borrowings – On June 26, 2009, certain Fatburger entities entered into two loan agreements in the total amount of $1.5 million.

The Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries borrowed $1.1 million (the “DIP Loan”) under authorization of the Bankruptcy Court. The loan matures June 26, 2010 and bears interest at 15%. The DIP loan is secured by the assets of the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries and is further guaranteed and secured by the Company and other non-Debtor Fatburger entities.

Restaurant openings and closures – During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Fatburger opened six additional franchise locations. In addition, one location was converted from a franchise-owned to a company-owned restaurant and one franchise location and four company-owned locations (including locations owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries) were closed.

Results of operations

We have incurred net losses from continuing operations as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Net loss	$	(1,786	)	$	(3,959	)	$	(4,057	)	$	(8,293	)
Net loss per share	$	(0.22	)	$	(0.50	)	$	(0.51	)	$	(1.04	)

Our net loss from continuing operations was $4.0 million (or $0.51 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.8 million (or $0.22 per share) for the three months then ended. This compares to $8.3 million (or $1.04 per share) and $4.0 million (or $0.50 per share) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The loss is primarily due to operating expenses associated with our management infrastructure. We have put in place a management structure that we believe will enable us to significantly expand our operations, notably our Fatburger subsidiary. However, until the growth is realized, the cost of our management structure will be borne by our existing operations and we will likely continue to incur losses.

The following sections describe the results of operations of our operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Restaurant segment operations

The following table shows our operating margin for company-owned restaurants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(% to Company-owned restaurant sales)
Restaurant sales:
Company-owned restaurant sales		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%
Cost of sales – food, paper, merchandise		(24.8	%)		(26.4	%)		(25.1	%)		(25.8	%)

Operating margin (restaurant sales only)		42.2	%		33.6	%		36.4	%		34.3	%

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, company-owned restaurant sales decreased to $8.1 million from $15.9 million for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, company-owned restaurant sales decreased to $1.0 million from $8.0 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of the elimination of $5.9 million in sales from stores owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries, which are not being consolidated during the bankruptcy period. Same store sales for company-owned restaurants, including Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries stores, open during all of 2008 decreased 6.2% for the first six months of 2009 and 3.7% in the second quarter of 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008.

The following table shows our total operating results from the restaurant segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Segment loss		(29.9	%)		(18.2	%)		(14.2	%)		(16.6	%)

Royalty revenue remained steady at $1.1 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 and was also stable at $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We added six franchise locations during the six months ended June 30, 2009, five of these in the second quarter. This increase was partially offset by one location being converted from a franchise to a company-owned restaurant and the closure of one franchise restaurant. The royalty increase from the net increase in franchise locations was offset by a decrease of 8.9% in same store sales for franchise restaurants for the first half of 2009 (8.4% decrease in the second quarter) compared to the same period in 2008.

Index

System-wide same store sales decreased 7.7% for stores open during all of 2008 during the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, and decreased 6.4% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

We plan to open additional Fatburger restaurants throughout the United States and internationally, including Canada, China, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. We intend to increase the number of franchised locations in the U.S. and internationally. Fatburger has opened a net increase of 43 restaurant locations since our acquisition in 2003. As is typical for our industry, the identification of qualified franchisees and quality locations has an impact on the rate of growth in the number of our restaurants.

Manufacturing segment operations

The following table summarizes the operating results of our manufacturing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(% to total revenue)
Manufacturing sales		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%
Manufacturing cost of sales		(65.8	%)		(56.7	%)		(65.6	%)		(57.8	%)
Engineering and development		(10.1	%)		(9.8	%)		(13.3	%)		(11.0	%)
Operating margin		24.1	%		33.5	%		21.1	%		31.2	%

Compensation expense		(14.3	%)		(14.0	%)		(19.6	%)		(18.7	%)

Other operating expense		(9.8	%)		(12.2	%)		(12.4	%)		(11.1	%)
Segment income (loss)		(1.3	%)		6.1	%		(12.5	%)		0.3	%

Total revenue for this segment was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 ($2.4 million for the second quarter), compared to $5.3 million for the same six months ($3.1 million for the second quarter) in 2008. Net loss for this segment was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (less than $0.1 million for the second quarter), compared to breakeven operations for the same six months (net income of $0.2 million for the second quarter) in 2008.

Real estate and finance segment operations

In February 2008, we sold FCRI, our wholly-owned subsidiary that held our leased real estate portfolio. The sales price was $8.5 million and we recorded a gain on sale of $4.2 million. Results of operations from FCRI (including the gain on sale in 2008) have been classified as discontinued operations.

Interest income – Our interest income for the first half of 2009 was $12,000 compared to $71,000 in the first half of 2008. For the three months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, our interest income was $4,000 and $34,000, respectively. The reduction in interest income reflects the repayment of notes receivable during the last half of 2008.

Interest expense – We did not have interest expense related to real estate operations for the first half of 2009. We sold or wrote off our remaining real estate holdings in 2008 and repaid or restructured the related debt. During the first six months of 2008, our real estate related interest expense was $1.0 million ($0.5 million for the second quarter).

Foreign exchange gains – Changes in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a net gain of approximately $0.5 million in this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (net loss of less than $0.1 million in the second quarter). There were no comparable foreign currency gains or losses during 2009.

Market value impairment reserves – We recognized a market value impairment reserve of $0.6 million on one property in Barcelona, Spain in the first half of 2008 ($0.4 million in the second quarter). We did not have any impairment losses in 2009.

Other non-operating income – In the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had equity in income of equity investee of $0.2 million. There was nothing comparable in 2009.

Corporate expenses

The following table summarizes our corporate expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
	(dollars in thousands)
Compensation and employee benefits	$	371	$	1,306	$	1,117	$	4,036
Professional fees		352		296		363		744

Other expenses		677		152		1,139		289
Total operating expenses	$	1,566	$	2,421	$	3,069	$	6,314

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred corporate operating expenses of $3.1 million ($1.6 million for the second quarter), compared to $6.3 million for the same six months ($2.4 million for the second quarter) in 2008. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in compensation expenses related to senior executives and partially offset by an increase in other expenses due primarily to an increase in interest expense on general corporate debt. Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 include general corporate interest expense of $1.0 million ($0.5 million for the second quarter).

Management allocation and other intercompany charges

In 2006, as we focused our efforts on the Fatburger segment we began allocating a portion of our corporate expenses to our restaurant segment to more accurately reflect the operating results of that segment. This allocation was $0.8 million the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The management fee was $0.3 and $0.5 million for the second quarter in 2009 and 2008, respectively). This allocation is eliminated upon consolidation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other intercompany charges, including intercompany interest expense, are eliminated upon consolidation.

Income taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, a provision for income taxes was not required due to the net operating loss generated during the period. We recorded tax expense of $3,000 for state taxes paid during the first quarter of 2009. We recorded a tax benefit of $52,000 to recognize tax refunds received in the first quarter of 2008 on prior taxes paid.

Discontinued operations

Leased real estate portfolio – In February 2008, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, FCRI, which held our leased real estate portfolio. At the time of sale, this portfolio was comprised of leasehold interests in 72 freestanding retail buildings located throughout the United States. Prior to the sale, the leased real estate portfolio was part of our Real Estate and Financing Operations segment. The following represents the results of operations during the time of our ownership of FCRI:

Software development and sales operations – In June 2008, we exercised our rights under a loan security agreement on loans to a consolidated subsidiary, Centrisoft Corporation. Pursuant to the security agreement, the collateral assets of Centrisoft were transferred to us in satisfaction of the loans. Centrisoft has since ceased operations. As of June 30, 2008, we no longer included Centrisoft as a consolidated subsidiary and as of December 31, 2008, the carrying value of the assets acquired from Centrisoft was zero. The following represents the results of operations during the time of our ownership or operation of the Centrisoft asse ts:

Changes in financial condition

Our assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity (deficit) can be summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2009			December 31, 2008
	(dollars in thousands)
Total assets	$	22,284		$	27,573
Total liabilities	$	35,006		$	36,315
Total minority interests	$	177		$	365
Total stockholders’ equity (deficit)	$	(12,899	)	$	(9,107	)

The $5.3 million decrease in total assets during the first six months of 2009 is primarily due to a net decrease in assets of $4.0 related to the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries, which are not included in the consolidated financial statements during their bankruptcy period. Total liabilities decreased $1.3 million over the first six months of 2009 due to $5.0 million in liabilities related to the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries, partially offset by increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings and deferred income. Stockholders’ equity (deficit) decreased during the first quarter of 2009 by approximately $3.8 million, mainly resulting from our net loss of $4.0 million, partially offset by share based compensation of $0.3 million. These changes are described in more detail as follows:

Cash

Our cash decreased $0.2 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Significant sources and uses of cash during the quarter include:

●

$0.6 million of cash provided by operations – comprised primarily of our net loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million adjusted for net non-cash items of $4.6 million;

●

$1.6 million of cash used in investing activities, including investment in Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries of $1.2 million and investment in property, plant and equipment of $0.2 million; and

●

$0.8 million of cash provided in financing activities, including proceeds from borrowings of $1.4 million, net of payments on borrowings of $0.4 million and payments on capital leases of $0.2 million.

Net property, plant and equipment

Net property, plant and equipment decreased $5.1 million at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to the elimination of $4.1 million in assets owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries and scheduled monthly depreciation. Obligations on property, plant, and equipment under capital lease decreased by $0.2 million as a result of scheduled payments during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Goodwill and net intangible assets

	June 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
	(dollars in thousands)
Goodwill – Fatburger	$	6,563	$	6,563
Goodwill – DAC International		1,465		1,465
Total goodwill	$	8,028	$	8,028

Net intangible assets – Fatburger	$	2,629	$	4,068
Total net intangible assets	$	2,629	$	4,068

Net intangible assets decreased 1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the elimination of $1.3 million in intangible assets owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries. Net intangible assets at June 30, 2009 consist of trademark rights of approximately $2.1 million and franchise agreements of approximately $0.3 million. We do not believe that there is any impairment of goodwill or net intangible assets at June 30, 2009.

Index

Notes receivable

As of June 30, 2009, our notes receivable portfolio consists of one individual loan with a carrying value of $37,000. The loan is secured by real estate consisting of commercial property located in Texas. The loan has an interest rate (excluding fees and points) of 7% and matures in April 2010.

Other assets

	June 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
	(dollars in thousands)
Trade receivables	$	1,759	$	2,712

Inventories	$	1,996	$	2,964

Other current assets:
Prepaid expenses	$	144	$	294


Other assets:
Security deposits	$	371	$	471
Capitalized finance fees		-		202
Other		14		139
Total other assets	$	385	$	812

Trade receivables and inventories at June, 30, 2009 relate primarily to the operations of DAC. The reduction in other assets is primarily related to the elimination of assets owned by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries.

Deferred income

Our deferred income relating to the collection of unearned Fatburger franchise fees increased $0.8 million at June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008. This was the result of the collection of $1.0 million in new franchise fees and prepaid royalties, offset by the recognition of $0.2 million in franchise revenue. As of June 30, 2009, nearly all of the deferred income was comprised of the non-refundable franchise fee received by Fatburger for future franchise locations. These initial fees generally represent half of the total fee per location. The balance of the franchise fee is expected to be collected in the future when leases on these specific franchise locations are signed.

Notes payable

As of June 30, 2009, borrowings and notes payable totaled $15.9 million, including $8.6 million of debt held at Fatburger and $0.8 million at DAC. This compares to $14.3 million at December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to new borrowings at Fatburger in the amount of $1.5 million.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaled $14.0 million at June 30, 2009, compared with $17.5 million at December 31, 2008, and consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
	(dollars in thousands)
Accounts payable	$	5,066	$	8,439
Sales deposits		835		1,228
Accrued wages, bonus and commissions		370		693
Other		7,756		7,126
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	14,027	$	17,486

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund business operations, acquisitions, and expansion (including growth of company-owned and franchised restaurant locations and for other general business purposes. In addition to our cash on hand, our primary sources of funds for liquidity during the first six months of 2009 consisted of cash provided by borrowings and operations. As of June 30, 2009, we had cash or cash equivalents of $0.2 million, which, together with projected borrowings and funds provided by operations, we believe will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

At June 30, 2009, we had total consolidated secured indebtedness of $17.6 million, as well as $17.4 million of other liabilities. Our consolidated secured indebtedness consisted of:

●

$8.6 million in notes payable and other debt of Fatburger, secured by the assets of Fatburger;

●

$1.7 million in capital leases maturing on or before 2010 which are secured by an aircraft and various restaurant assets;

●

$6.5 million of notes payable secured by various assets of the Company; and

●

$0.8 million of short-term borrowings secured by the assets of DAC International.

The sale of real estate and other investments has historically been a recurring part of operations and a source of liquidity. However, most of those investments have been liquidated as we focused on the Fatburger operations. Borrowings and Fatburger’s operations are now our major source of liquidity and we expect these sources, including the sale of Fatburger franchises, to generate adequate cash flow to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for the 2009 fiscal year. We believe that our existing sources of funds will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

If our existing liquidity position were to prove insufficient, and we were unable to repay, renew or replace maturing indebtedness on terms reasonably satisfactory to us, we may be required to sell (potentially on short notice) a portion of our assets, and could incur losses as a result. Specific risks to our liquidity position include the following:

Interest rate risk

Our borrowings and the availability of further borrowings are substantially affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, changes in market spreads or decreases in credit quality of our assets. Material increases in interest expense from variable-rate funding sources, or material decreases in monthly cash receipts from operations, generally would negatively impact our liquidity. On the other hand, material decreases in interest expense from variable-rate funding sources would positively affect our liquidity. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact our net income to the extent our operations and our fixed rate assets are funded by variable rate debt. We may also be impacted to the extent that our variable rate assets re-price on a different schedule or in relation to a different index than any floating rate debt.

Fatburger debt covenant

As of June 30, 2009, Fatburger had not made all of the required payments on indebtedness with an outstanding principal balance of $3.9 million. As a result, the lender has declared the indebtedness in default and has accelerated the maturity date of the entire balance. If the Company is unsuccessful in renegotiating the debt with the lender and obtaining waivers of the default, the resulting consequences could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operation. In addition to the payment default, at December 31, 2008, Fatburger was not in compliance with all obligations under the agreements evidencing its indebtedness, as defined in the applicable agreements, due to its failure to meet the prescribed fixed charge coverage ratio and the prescribed debt-co verage ratio in three notes payable. We are currently in discussions with the lender to restructure the debt.

Fatburger expansion

Fatburger is involved in a nationwide expansion of franchise and company-owned locations, which will require significant liquidity. If real estate locations of sufficient quality cannot be located and either leased or purchased, the timing of restaurant openings may be delayed. Additionally, if Fatburger or its franchisees cannot obtain capital sufficient to fund this expansion, the timing of restaurant openings may be delayed.

Dividends

While we do not have a fixed dividend policy, we may declare and pay new dividends on our common stock, subject to our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. One factor the Board of Directors may consider is the impact of dividends on our liquidity. We have not declared or paid any dividends during 2009.

Over-the-counter stock listing

Effective October 14, 2004, our stock began trading in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Trading of our common stock on the OTC market reduces the liquidity of our common stock compared to quotation on a national market. Also, the coverage of the Company by security analysts and media is reduced, which we believe results in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise prevail and also results in increased spreads between the bid and ask prices for our common stock. Additionally, certain investors will not purchase securities that are not quoted on a national market, which we believe impairs our ability to raise funds through the issuance of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock.

Index

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have various operating leases for office, manufacturing and retail space which expire through 2017. The leases provide for varying minimum annual rental payments including rent increases and free rent periods. We have future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more of approximately $19.9 million as of June 30, 2009.

We did not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements in place as of June 30, 2009.

Related Party Transactions

Purchase of Land

On December 24, 2009, the Company acquired all of the membership interests in Highland Road Properties LLC (“HRP”) from an entity controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Wiederhorn. HRP is a special purpose entity that owns approximately 6 acres of residential land in Portland Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Wiederhorn had previously allowed the land to be part of a pool of collateral securing indebtedness of the Company and it became necessary for the Company to have direct ownership of HRP in order to protect the remaining collateral. The Company paid $750,000 for the HRP interests. The Highland Road land is being used by the Company as collateral for certain borrowings of the Company. The Board of Directors approved the purchase of HRP and determined that the transaction was in the best inter ests of the Company and its shareholders. On February 17, 2010, the Company caused HRP to transfer the land to certain lenders for a partial reduction in debt of $350,000.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2009, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The Company considered these limitations during the development of its disclosure controls and procedures, and will continually reevaluate them to ensure they provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with an evaluation that occurred during the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of our Annual Report as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 on Form 10-K, as previously filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010.

Two of our Fatburger operating subsidiaries are currently operating as “debtors in possession” in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings, and there can be no assurance that Bankruptcy Court will approve the plan of reorganization.

On April 6, 2009, two of our operating Fatburger subsidiaries (the “Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court. On or about November 3, 2009, the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries filed a joint plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement. The Bankruptcy Court is currently considering the plan of reorganization and disclosure statement. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the plan of reorganization as proposed by the Debtor In Possession Subsidiaries, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
