INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS | NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS We have invested with others (some of whom are affiliated with our officers and directors) in nine limited partnerships which own and operate nine South Florida based restaurants under our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” or “Flanigan’s”. In addition to being a limited partner in these limited partnerships, we are the sole general partner of eight of these limited partnerships and manage and control the operations of the restaurants except for the restaurant located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we only hold a limited partnership interest. F-13 Table of Contents NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (Continued) Generally, the terms of the limited partnership agreements provide that until the investors’ cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us) is returned in full, (available cash is distributed to the investors pro-rata based on ownership interest), the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant, as a return of capital, up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee and one-half (½) to the investors, (including us), pro-rata based on the investors’ investment, as a return of capital. Once all of the investors, (including us), have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee becomes payable to us equal to one-half (½) of cash available to be distributed, with the other one-half (½) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us), as a profit distribution, pro-rata based on the investors’ investment. As of October 2, 2021, all eight (8) limited partnerships where we are the general partner and are eligible to receive a management fee, have returned to their respective investors all cash invested and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by these limited partnerships. In addition to our receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of our “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” or “Flanigan’s” service marks, which use is authorized while we act as general partner only. This 3% fee is “earned” when sales are made by the limited partnerships and is paid weekly, in arrears. Whether we will have any additional restaurants under development in the future will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and our ability to raise capital. We anticipate that we will continue to form limited partnerships to raise funds to own and operate restaurants under our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” or “Flanigan’s” using the same or substantially similar financial arrangements. Below is information on the nine limited partnerships which own and operate “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” or “Flanigan’s” restaurants: Surfside, Florida We are the sole general partner and a 46% limited partner in this limited partnership which has owned and operated a restaurant in Surfside, Florida under our “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” service mark since March 6, 1998. 33.3% of the remaining limited partnership interest is owned by persons who are either our officers, directors or their family members.

Sunrise, Florida During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Sunrise Lease Agreement”) with a non-affiliated third party to rent approximately 6,900 square feet of commercial space in Sunrise, Florida where, subject to certain conditions, we anticipate opening a new restaurant location under our “Flanigan’s” service mark. During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we assigned the Sunrise Lease Agreement to a newly formed limited partnership in which we currently are (i) the sole general partner; and (ii) our wholly owned subsidiary is the sole limited partner. While there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so, we are currently selling limited partnership interests to third parties as well as affiliates of the Company in order to raise net proceeds, in the amount of $5,000,000, which proceeds will be used to renovate this potential restaurant location. We anticipate that the new restaurant location’s ownership and operating structure will be substantially similar to that of our other restaurants owned by limited partnerships. Through October 2, 2021, we have made capital contributions of $2,982,000, including construction in progress of $2,224,000, in this limited partnership. F-16 Table of Contents NOTE 4.
