ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

TurboChef Technologies, Inc. disclosed today, in an amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-121818, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its preliminary unaudited revenue and earnings results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. The disclosure included the following excerpt:

“For the three months ended December 31, 2004, our total revenue is expected to be approximately $36.5 million and our income before taxes is expected to be between $6.8 million and $7.8 million. Earnings per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2004 are expected to be between $0.24 and $0.28. For the year ended December 31, 2004, our total revenue is expected to be approximately $70.9 million and our income before taxes is expected to be between $9.0 million and $10.0 million. Earnings per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2004 are expected to be between $0.34 and $0.37. The substantial increase in total revenue and income before taxes for the current year is predominantly driven from sales of our Tornado model oven to Subway franchisees. These results are preliminary and unaudited and may therefore be subject to adjustment as we complete our review processes and our auditors complete our audit.”
