     On February 8, 2005,  Avado Brands,  Inc. (the  "Company")  received  final
Bankruptcy Court approval of an amendment to its February 11, 2004 Post-Petition
Credit Agreement.  The amendment,  among other things,  extended the termination
date of the agreement to the earlier of May 31, 2005 or the effective  date of a
joint  plan of  reorganization  in the  Chapter  11 Cases  and  amended  certain
financial  covenants  contained in the agreement.  The amended covenants require
the Company to achieve  certain  defined  cash flow  targets for its  restaurant
operations,  limit  the  amount  of the  Company's  general  and  administrative
expenses, and also limit the amount the Company may incur related to repairs and
maintenance and capital expenditures.  In conjunction with the final approval of
the amendment by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company paid a fee of $450,000 to the
Credit Agreement lenders as a condition of the amendment.
