      Restaurants' Statement Regarding Today's Trading in Its Stock</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ark Restaurants Corp. (NASDAQ:ARKR) would
      like to issue the following statement regarding today&#8217;s fluctuations in
      the price of the Company&#8217;s stock:
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We believe today&#8217;s price fluctuations in our stock occurred while our
      market makers were not actively trading our stock due to the scheduled
      ex-dividend date,&#8221; said Michael Weinstein, Ark&#8217;s Chairman and CEO. &#8220;When
      small orders were placed during this period it resulted in trades at
      prices significantly below yesterday&#8217;s closing price.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Weinstein continued: &#8220;Since we have not made, and are not planning
      on making, any near-term announcement related to activities at our
      Company, we can only assume that these fluctuations were due to market
      forces rather than any fundamental measure of the value of our Company.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
