  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Stands Ready to Close the Fatburger Acquisition
                -----------------------------------------------

Restaurant Teams International Inc. (OTC-BB RTIN), Longview, Texas, announced on
Friday,  December  10th 1999,  it has filed an action in Texas  District  Court,
Gregg  County,  Longview,  Texas,  whereby it seeks  Breach of Contract and Tort
Claims for Substantial Damages, as well as Specific Performance of its Agreement
and Plan of Merger with the FB Holding Corp.

The company has been  successful  in securing  the balance of funding  needed to
close on the  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger.  This  agreement  calls for a Four
million dollar cash down payment on an Eight million dollar  purchase price with
Four million to be paid over four years.  As previously  announced  the  company
has already paid One and a half  million of the Eight  million  dollar  purchase
price leaving only Two and a half million of the down payment to be paid.

The company,  its funders,  and  partners are excited and  optimistic  about the
immediate implementation of its plans for a national franchising program for the
Fatburger restaurant concept in the year 2000 and beyond.

Stanley  Swanson  Chief  Executive  Officer  stated;  "We believe that this long
awaited  acquisition  will bring the added value and confidence,  once again, to
our company's  shareholders.  This action should return our company's stock to a
fair value trading range."
