One signed original and four conformed copies of this form and amendments thereto must be completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC 20549, in accordance with Rule 0-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act. The information contained in or filed with the form will be made a matter of public record in the Commission files. 3. A manually signed copy of the form and amendments thereto shall be filed with each national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the registrant is registered. 4. Amendments to the notifications must also be filed on Form 12b-25 but need not restate information that has been correctly furnished. The form shall be clearly identified as an amended notification. 5. ELECTRONIC FILERS. This form shall not be used by electronic filers unable to timely file a report solely due to electronic difficulties.

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.
