                                   EXHIBIT "A"



PART III        NARRATIVE

The unaudited financial statements of Flanigan's Enterprises, Inc.,
("Registrant"), will not be completed by May 13, 2003, the last day for a timely
filing of its quarterly report on Form 10Q for the fiscal quarter ending March
29, 2003.

Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 29, 2003, the Registrant will
consolidate the financial results of four (4) limited partnerships with the
Registrant's financial results. The Registrant is also preparing its Amended
Form 10K for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2002, ("Amended Form 10K"),
and its Amended Form 10Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, ("Amended
Form 10Q"), to make the same consolidation. The Registrant previously reported
the financial results of the four (4) limited partnerships on the equity method.
In order for the Registrant to file its Form 10Q for the fiscal quarter ending
March 29, 2003, ("Form 10Q"), the Amended Form 10K and the Amended Form 10Q must
be completed. The amount of work required to prepare the amended reports has
made it impossible for the Registrant to timely file its Form 10Q.

The Registrant undertakes to file its Form 10Q within five (5) calender days of
its due date.









                                   EXHIBIT "B"




PART IV(3)

The Registrant anticipates that its results of operations for the fiscal quarter
ending March 29, 2003 will be less than its reported earnings for the fiscal
quarter ending March 30, 2002. The consolidation of the financial results of the
four (4) limited partnerships with the Registrant's financial results will
result in significantly higher revenues for the fiscal quarter ending March
2003, as opposed to the fiscal quarter ending March 30, 2002, but also
correspondingly higher expenses. The earnings to be reported by the Registrant
in its Form 10Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 29, 2003 will not be
impacted by the consolidation of the financial results of the four (4) limited
partnerships as opposed to the use of the equity method.
