Item 5.  Other events

On April 15, 1999 Restaurant Teams  International,  Inc. (`the Company") entered
into an agreement (the "Loan") with LJB Holdings (the  "Lender")  which Loan was
later  acquired by Oxford  Commercial  Funding in September,  1999. The loan was
obtained by the Company for the purpose of securing an additional  $500,000 down
payment and extension of closing (the "Closing") for the Fatburger  transaction.
The Company had been in negotiations with the Lender to finance a portion of the
remaining  amounts  owed to FB  Holdings  in order  to  close  on the  Fatburger
corporation acquisition. The Loan provided by Lender to the Company was intended
by the Company to be rolled  into more  permanent  financing  by Lender upon the
Closing.  Due to circumstances which are currently being disputed by the Company
and wherein the Company is contemplating a counter suit against the Lender,  the
Lender  backed out of their  participation  in the funding for the Closing.  The
Company  subsequently reduced their obligation to Lender by paying all interest,
attorney fees, and one hundred thousand dollars  ($100,000) in principal through
September  28,  1999.  The Lender  has since  declared a default of the Loan and
demanded  that the  Company  immediately  pay all  amounts  due  under  the loan
agreements  or the Lender  would  attempt to  liquidate  certain  shares of RTIN
common  stock and  additionally  certain  shares  of  Stanley  L. and  Carole A.
Swanson's personal RTIN holdings,  to repay the obligation.  The shares of stock
currently  held by Lender  bear a  restrictive  legend and cannot be sold on the
open  market  in  the  absence  of an  effective  registration  statement  or an
exemption from registration. Although the Company received notice from Oxford on
March 3, 2000 of its demand for  registration,  the  Company  does not intend to
allow these shares to be sold. On December 16, 1999 the Lender filed suit in the
Northern  District of Illinois  against Curtis  Swanson,  Stanley  Swanson,  and
Carole Swanson, guarantors of the note seeking to enforce their rights under the
guaranty agreements, the action bears case number 99C8200. On February 22, 2000,
Oxford  brought  suit  against the  Company,  also in the  Northern  District of
Illinois,  the action bears case number 00C1048. The Company vigorously contests
the claims made by Lender in it's suit and intends to fully  defend its position
and file a counter claim for failure to fulfill  their  commitment to fund their
committed portion of the Closing proceeds.
