INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE FRANCHISEES

REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

* * * *

To protect you, we've required your franchisor to give you this information. We haven't checked it and don't know if it's correct. It should help you make up your mind. Study it carefully. While it includes some information about your contract, don't rely on it alone to understand your contract. Read all of your contract carefully. Buying a franchise is a complicated investment. Take your time to decide. If possible, show your contract and this information to an advisor, like a lawyer or an accountant. If you find anything you think may be wrong or anything important that has been left out, you should let us know about it. It may be against the law.

There may also be laws on franchising in your state. Ask your state agencies about them.

PLEASE REFER TO ANY STATE-SPECIFIC ADDENDUM THAT MAY BE ATTACHED TO THE OFFERING CIRCULAR FOR DETAILS.

3.    AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION, THE SPOUSE(S) OF FRANCHISE OWNER(S) AMUST SIGN A PERSONAL GUARANTY MAKING THE SPOUSE(S) JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE FOR ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE FRANCHISE WHETHER OR NOT THE SPOUSE(S) ARE INVOLVED IN THE OPERATION OF YOUR FRANCHISED BUSINESS. THIS REQUIREMENT PLACES THE PERSONAL ASSETS OF THE FRANCHISE OWNER(S),A AND SPOUSE(S) AT RISK.

4.    FATBURGER AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY ESTABLISH OTHER CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELL OR DISTRIBUTE ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, UNDER THE SAME AND/OR DIFFERENT TRADEMARKS, IN COMPETITION WITH YOUR FRANCHISE.

NOTICE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF MICHIGAN

THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PROHIBITS CERTAIN UNFAIR PROVISIONS THAT ARE SOMETIMES IN FRANCHISE DOCUMENTS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS ARE IN THESE FRANCHISE DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS ARE VOID AND CANNOT BE ENFORCED AGAINST YOU.

Each of the following provisions is void and unenforceable if contained in any documents relating to a franchise:

(a)       A prohibition on the right of a franchisee to join an association of franchisees.

(b)       A requirement that a franchisee assent to a release, assignment, novation, waiver, or estoppel which deprives a franchisee of rights and protections provided in this act. This shall not preclude a franchisee, after entering into a franchise agreement, from settling any and all claims.

(c)       A provision that permits a franchisor to terminate a franchise prior to the expiration of its term except for good cause. Good cause shall include the failure of the franchisee to comply with any lawful provision of the franchise agreement and to cure such failure after being given written notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity, which in no event need be more than 30 days, to cure such failure.

(d)       A provision that permits a franchisor to refuse to renew a franchise without fairly compensating the franchisee by repurchase or other means for the fair market value at the time of expiration of the franchisee's inventory, supplies, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings. Personalized materials which have no value to the franchisor and inventory, supplies, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings not reasonably required in the conduct of the franchise business are not subject to compensation. This subsection applies only if: (i) The term of the franchise is less than 5 years and (ii) the franchisee is prohibited by the franchise or other agreement from continuing to conduct substantially the same business under another trademark, service mark, trade name, logotype, advertising, or other commercial symbol in the same area subsequent to the expiration of the franchise or the franchisee does not receive at least 6 months advance notice of franchisor's intent not to renew the franchise.

(e)       A provision that permits the franchisor to refuse to renew a franchise on terms generally available to other franchisees of the same class or type under similar circumstances. This section does not require a renewal provision.

(f)        A provision requiring that arbitration or litigation be conducted outside this state. This shall not preclude the franchisee from entering into an agreement, at the time of arbitration, to conduct arbitration at a location outside this state.

(g)       A provision which permits a franchisor to refuse to permit a transfer of ownership of a franchise, except for good cause. This subdivision does not prevent a franchisor from

i LOSANGELES 246166v1 61247-00001


a

exercising a right of first refusal to purchase the franchise. Good cause shall include, but is not limited to:

(i) The failure of the proposed transferee to meet the franchisor's then current reasonable qualifications or standards.

(ii) The fact that the proposed transferee is a competitor of the franchisor or subfranchisor.

(iii) The unwillingness of the proposed transferee to agree in writing to comply with all lawful obligations.

(iv) The failure of the franchisee or proposed transferee to pay any sums owing to the franchisor or to cure any default in the franchise agreement existing at the time of the proposed transfer..

(h) A provision that requires the franchisee to resell to the franchisor items that are not uniquely identified with the franchisor. This subdivision does not prohibit a provision that grants to a franchisor a right of first refusal to purchase the assets of a franchise on the same terms and conditions as a bona fide third party willing and able to purchase those assets, nor does this subdivision prohibit a provision that grants the franchisor the right to acquire the assets of a franchise for the market or appraised value of such assets if the franchisee has breached the lawful provisions of the franchise agreement and has failed to cure the breach in the manner provided in subdivision (c).

(i) A provision which permits the franchisor to directly or indirectly convey, assign, or otherwise transfer its obligations to fulfill contractual obligations to the franchisee unless provision has been made for providing the required contractual services.

THE FACT THAT THERE IS A NOTICE OF THIS OFFERING ON FILE WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES NOT CONSTITUTE APPROVAL, RECOMMENDATION, OR ENDORSEMENT BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Any questions regarding this Notice shall be directed to the Department of Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, 670 Law Building, 525 West Ottawa Street, Lansing, Michigan 48913. (517)373-7117.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTICE ONLY APPLY TO THE EXTENT THE JURISDICTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE MICHIGAN FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW ARE MET INDEPENDENTLY, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THIS NOTICE.

THE FRANCHISOR, ITS PREDECESSORS AND AFFILIATES

The Franchisor, its Predecessor and Affiliates

. To simplify the language in this offering circular, "We" or "Fatburger" means Fatburger North America, Inc., the franchisor. The term "we" only refers to Fatburger North America, Inc., not its officers, directors or shareholders individually. "You" means the person who buys a franchise to operate a Fatburger RestaurantA. If this person is a corporation, partnership or other business entity, the term "you" includes the business entity and its owners. We are a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on March 28, 1990. Our principal place of business is located at 301 Arizona Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Monica, California 90401. We do business as Fatburger North America, Inc. Our website is www.fatburger.com

This Offering Circular has been prepared in "plain English," as required by law. However, you must still carefully read the actual agreements that you will sign. These agreements will control if there is a dispute between us.

Our agents for service of process are listed in Exhibit AL to this offering circular.

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fatburger Corporation (the "Parent"), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in January 1992. Before the Parent was formed, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of FB Holding Corporation ("FB Holding"), formerly known as Fatburger Corporation, a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in February 1990. On August 15, 2001, FB Holding merged with Fatburger Holdings, Inc. ("FBHI"), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on July 17, 2001. Presently, FBHI owns the controlling interest in the Parent. The Parent and FBHI are located at 301 Arizona Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Monica, California 90401.

As of September 1, 2004, our affiliate, Fatburger Restaurants of California, Inc. ("FB California"), a ^California corporation, owns and operates AX Fatburger restaurants in California using our trademark. Our other affiliate, Fatburger Restaurants of Nevada, Inc. ("FB Nevada") owns and operates 10 Fatburger restaurants in Nevada using our trademark. The principal business address for both FB California and FB Nevada is 301 Arizona Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Monica, California 90401.

Franchise Offered

We franchise a distinctive quick service Restaurant system which offers limited menu items, primarily hamburgers, under the trademarks "Fatburger" and "The Last Great Hamburger Stand". The distinguishing characteristics of our system include special recipes, ingredients, and menu items, distinctive decor, color scheme, and furnishings, a jukebox featuring music of various eras, uniform operating standards, consistency of products and services offered, procedures for quality control, training, and advertising programs, all of which we may change at our discretion. Our Restaurants do not service any particular segment of the population. The

LOSANGELES 253281v8 61247-00001

currently operating Restaurants are all located in urban and suburban settings and have approximately 800-2500 square feet.

You must complete an application to become a franchisee, sign a deposit acknowledgment, pay a deposit, and submit various financial materials. If we approve you, we will enter into a Site Evaluation Agreement with you and designate your non-exclusive site evaluation territory. We will then select up to two sites located in the territory and provide you with information about the proposed site so that you can conduct an independent evaluation of the site. At our request, you must hire a company to perform a detailed site survey before you sign your lease. We must approve your lease. Once you accept a site, we will enter into a franchise agreement with you. You may operate a Restaurant at the approved site under our trademarks and our system during the term of your franchise agreement. Approved applicants who are purchasing an existing Restaurant will not go through the site selection process. They will just sign a franchise agreement.

We also may license you to establish more than one Restaurant in a certain geographic area according to a Asite evaluation scheduled We select sites located in your geographic area and provide you with information about each proposed site so that you can conduct an independent evaluation of the proposed site. Once you accept a site, we will enter into our then current franchise agreement with you for the Restaurant to be located at the approved site.

You may also enter into a Management Agreement with us, if we agree to do so. If we do sign a Management Agreement with you, we will train, supervise and manage the employees of your Restaurant, including your management and supervisory personnel. We do not perform other services, such as accounting, human resources, and record-keeping, and you will continue to be responsible for these.

Occasionally we or our affiliates may enter into joint venture arrangements for the operation of Restaurants.

Competition

Both the restaurant industry in general, and the quick-service restaurant industry in particular, are established industries and are very competitive. As a member of the restaurant industry, you will compete on the basis of quick-service, price and the quality of your food and service. You will compete with the major quick service restaurant chains that dominate the industry, and with other food service businesses.

Franchise Activities

FB California has operated restaurants similar to the type that you will operate for AJJi years. FB California does not offer franchises in any line of business. We have offered franchises for the operation of Fatburger restaurants since April 1990. We have not offered franchises in any other line of business. We do not have any affiliates who offer franchises in any line of business or who provide any products or services to you.

All amounts in Item 7 are estimates only. Actual costs will vary for each franchisee and each location depending on a number of factors. Unless otherwise noted, payments to us are not refundable. We are not able to represent whether or not amounts that you may pay to third parties are refundable.

(1)     See Item 5 for a discussion of the franchise fee. We do not finance any fee. A

(2)     Your leasehold improvement and construction costs will depend on many factors, including the size of your Restaurant, its location, economic conditions, local conditions, the condition of the site, the landlord's contribution to leasehold improvements, if any, local code or other requirements, availability of materials and labor, required use of union labor, freight and delivery costs, taxes, interest rates and other items. These figures do not take into account any financing charge or other related costs which you may have to pay.

(3)     This category also includes your purchase of specified various photographs for display at your Restaurant, the cost of which will depend on the size of your Restaurant and the quality of your framing, (See Item 8 for details)

(4)     You will probably have to pay security deposits or prepaid expenses as part of your real and personal property leases, insurance requirements, and utilities arrangements. The actual amount of the security deposits or prepaid expenses that you must pay will be determined by your lessor and your suppliers of utility and insurance services.

(5)     Your actual costs for real property will depend on general market conditions, including, geographic area, location, desirability, improvements and utilities included, size, and the term of your lease. The real estate required for a typical free-standing Restaurant pad ranges from approximately 20,000 to 35,000 square feet. Restaurant buildings are generally 2000-2800 square feet in size and market rents currently range from $2.25 to $4.50 or more per square foot per month. Rental estimates are based upon a 15 year lease from a third party, and may include a percentage rent clause. The estimated figure includes percentage rent payments.

(6)     You must obtain various permits and licenses, including those from health departments, fire departments, sales tax bureaus and other similar state or local governmental agencies. The cost of these permits and licenses are determined by the governmental agencies. You will have to pay these fees directly to these agencies. A

(7)     We provide instructors and most instructional materials, but you must purchase additional books which are available from general booksellers, e.g., Barnes & Noble. You must arrange for transportation, lodging, food, and wages. Your cost will depend upon the distance that you, your managers and hourly employees must travel, the type of accommodations you choose, the number of hourly employees you train and the duration of their training. (See Item 7 for details)

(8)     This estimates your start-up expenses. These expenses include payroll costs. We are unable to estimate the length of time until, or if, your Restaurant will generate revenues needed to meet expenses. But, we recommend a minimum working capital in the range shown that should meet the reasonably anticipated needs

LOSANGELES 253281 v8 61247-00001


of your Restaurant for a period of 90 days under most circumstances. Our estimates are based on our AJJ> years of experience in the Fatburger Restaurant business, during which time we or our affiliates operated over A2<j restaurants similar to the type of Restaurant you will be establishing. Your actual costs will depend on your management skill, experience and business acumen, your sales figures during the 90 day period, your ability to follow our system and local market and economic conditions. We recommend that you review these figures carefully with a business advisor before making any decision to sign a franchise agreement.

We do not offer direct or indirect financing. However, there are external financing sources that have financed up to 70% of the cost of equipment, fixtures and real estate for franchisees who meet their criteria. Our criteria for approving franchisees who finance the cost of establishing and operating their restaurants are that they must be creditworthy as determined by financing sources' internal credit policies. We cannot estimate if you will be able to obtain financing for all or any part of your investment, or what the terms of this financing would be. We do not receive payment from any person or persons for obtaining or placing financing. We do not guarantee your note or obligation. We may, at our discretion, guarantee your lease.

Usually, you will open your Restaurant 4 to 10 months after you sign a franchise agreement, depending on many factors, including ability to obtain a lease, financing or permits, zoning or local ordinances and factors bearing on construction.

Advertising Programs

We will conduct promotional/advertising activities, developed by us, an advertising agency and/or a public relations firm, to enhance our corporate name and image through a national advertising fund (the "Fund"). You, every other franchisee and each Restaurant owned by us or our affiliate, will contribute to the Fund on the same basis. See Item 6 for a description of how much you must contribute to the Fund. In the past, we have made arrangements with certain franchisees whose protected territories are located far from Los Angeles to reimburse them for what they spend on local advertising in an amount equal to all or a portion of what they contribute to the advertising fund. We may change these arrangements in the future.

We must spend all of the Fund's monies on costs of preparing and administering marketing activities for Restaurants (including television, radio, magazine and newspaper advertising campaigns; direct mail and outdoor billboard advertising; marketing surveys; public relations activities; sponsorship of athletic and other events and activities; guest-service monitoring; cost of marketing personnel; mobile marketing vehicles, promotional brochures and other marketing materials, including those used for soliciting franchise sales). During Aour fiscal vearA ended June 30. 2005. the monies in the Fund were spent as follows: A22% on radio promotions; A4% on guest-service monitoring; A2% on print advertising; A2% on public relations; AJ=% on 4 wall marketing; Ajji% on salaries; A4% on local restaurant marketing; A% on miscellaneous costs and promotions, market research and website maintenance, printing,

19

LOSANGELES 253281v8 61247-00001


franchise packages; A1X% on marketing consulting and A22% on advertising promotions. We are not required to spend any money on advertising any particular Restaurant or on advertising in your area or territory. We use both an outside agency and in-house resources to create and place advertising.

Our marketing and accounting personnel will administer the Fund under the direction of our Finance Department. We will keep separate, unaudited bookkeeping accounts for the Fund. Upon written request, we will provide you with the most recent accounting of the Fund.

We plan to use all contributions to and earnings of the Fund on advertising/promotion during the same fiscal year that we receive the contributions and earnings. If excess amounts are in the Fund at the end of a fiscal year, we will spend the remaining funds in the following fiscal year(s), first out of accumulated earnings from previous years, next out of earnings in the current year, and then from contributions.

Although the Fund is intended to exist as long as we offer franchises, we do have the right to terminate it. We will not terminate the Fund until all monies in the Fund have been spent on advertising/promotion, applied towards any funds that we may have decided to advance at a time when there were not sufficient amounts in the Fund for appropriate advertising activities, or returned to contributors on the basis of their respective contributions. (Franchise Agreement -Section 10.2)

Our affiliate-owned Restaurants also contribute to the Fund. Their contributions may include the value of endorsements by celebrities who own an interest in our Parent.

Expenditures of approximately 15% of the Fund may include advertising that is principally a solicitation for the sale of franchises.

You may develop your own advertisements, including print, radio, television, coupons and internet ads, as well as direct mail for your own use, at your own cost. However, there are specific guidelines, including branding, creative direction, font type, logo design and redemption restrictions that must be adhered to. We may decline any advertisement that does not meet these guidelines. We must approve the advertising materials in advance and in writing. All marketing materials must be ordered through the designated printer. If we do not disapprove of the advertising materials within 2 weeks after we receive them, you may consider the advertising materials approved by us. To save time and resources, you should contact our Marketing Department during your planning stages so the Director of Marketing can authorize your creative direction before your monetary investment in selected media.A

In addition to contributing to the Fund, you must also spend the greater of 2% of net sales or $1,200 each calendar quarter on local advertising and promotion of your Restaurant. You must furnish us with a marketing report of your local advertising expenditures, together with copies of invoices and other proof of expenditures within 30 days after the end of the quarter. A

You must upgrade your hardware and software when we decide it may be necessary, and at your own cost. There are no contractual limits on how often we can require you to purchase these upgrades. Also, if we find another vendor for the customized portions of the system, you may be required to purchase items that will enable you to convert whatever system you initially purchase to use the new system.

Either party can terminate the License Agreement with 30 days notice.

YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT PAST RESULTS ARE NO ASSURANCE AS TO FUTURE RESULTS. ACTUAL RESULTS WILL VARY FROM RESTAURANT TO RESTAURANT AND NO ONE (INCLUDING US) CAN RELIABLY ESTIMATE OR PROJECT THE RESULTS OF OPERATION OF ANY PARTICULAR RESTAURANT. YOU

38

LOSANGELES 25328 lv8 61247-00001


SHOULD NOT ASSUME YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULTS AS SHOWN ABOVE. IF YOU ASSUME THAT BY SIMPLY ACQUIRING A LICENSE TO OPERATE A FRANCHISE YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE RESULTS EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST (OR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR RESULTS), YOU'LL PROBABLY BE WRONG.

Before signing any binding documents or making any investment, you should make your own independent investigation regarding the possible purchase of a franchise. We strongly urge you to speak with our current and past Franchisees regarding their experiences and you should also have an experienced legal, financial and/or business advisor, such as an attorney or accountant (preferably one with experience in franchising and/or the quick-service restaurant industry) review this and all other documents. See Item 20 of this offering circular and any related exhibits regarding the names, addresses and phone numbers of our current and past Franchisees.

Purchasing a franchise gives you no guarantee of success. Any business venture (including our Restaurants) always involves some risk of loss or failure and the purchase of a quick-service restaurant (or any other) franchise is a speculative investment, with no guarantee of results.

THE INFORMATION PRESENTED REGARDING PAST OPERATING RESULTS FOR RESTAURANTS IS NOT A FULL PROFIT AND LOSS OR INCOME STATEMENT (OR STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS), OMITS ALL OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES RELATED TO OPERATION OF A RESTAURANT EXCEPT FOOD. PAPER AND STORE LEVEL LABOR. AND HAS NOT BEEN AUDITED AND DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSA. IN ADDITION, HISTORICAL COSTS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOUR OPERATIONS. THE COSTS (INCLUDING TRANSPORTATIONS OF FOOD AND PAPER GOODS ARE LIKELY TO RE HIGHER IN MORE REMOTE MARKETS WHERE THERE ARE FEWER OR NO PREEXISTING FATBURGER RESTAURANTS. FURTHER. SALES IN MARKETS TN WHICH WE HAVE NO PRIOR BRAND RECOGNITION ARE LIKELY TO RE LOWER THAN MARKETS IN WHICH WE ARE WELL KNOWN. ALSO. TT'S POSSIBLE THAT FUTURE REQUIREMENTS BY US (E.G. UPGRADING OF A RESTAURANT, NEW OPERATIONAL STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS, ETC.) OR MARKET-DRIVEN, COMPETITIVE OR OTHER CHANGES MAY AFFECT YOUR REVENUES AND/OR INCREASE YOUR COSTS OVER THOSE WHICH APPLIED IN THE PAST.

The information presented is based on unaudited internal financial statements prepared by franchisees and by us for corporate restaurants using a cash basis of accounting. With respect to information presented for franchised restaurants, we are relying upon information included in royalty reports and other unaudited financial reports provided to us by our franchisees. We have not audited this information nor have we otherwise verified its accuracy.

The information presented is not sufficient to analyze, calculate or predict past or future profitability, if any, cash flows or other important financial information for existing or prospective Restaurants.

LOSANGELES 25328 lv8 61247-00001


Some factors that can affect results (and may be reasons why your results may differ from those reported above), include the location or market in which a Restaurant operates, the Restaurant's size,' product or service mix, labor and other costs, as well as existing and potential competition. Your background, skills and qualifications may be different from those of our existing Franchisees. You should consider all of these (and other) factors and determine if the Restaurants whose results are reported are really comparable to the Restaurant that may be operated by you.

For many Restaurants, location can be an important factor affecting results, particularly with respect to demographics, competition and general economic conditions. It is possible that the character of existing Restaurant locations may be different than where you plan to do business. Location, competition and other factors may change over time and this could have an effect (positive or negative) on your results in the future. You should, before making any investment decision, carefully examine any location you might choose, together with the surrounding area, including an analysis of existing and potential competition, research the need in the proposed area of operation for a quick-service restaurant, as well as other characteristics of the area.

Success in most businesses (including franchised ones) depends, in large part, on your personal efforts and your marketing, operational, financial, administrative and other skills and your active participation in the daily affairs of the business and many other factors. You should determine the level of personal effort you can commit to the operation of your Restaurant and whether you possess the skills that may contribute to your being successful.

Substantiation of the data used to prepare the table will be made available to you upon reasonable request.
