ARK Restaurants Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) issued a press release announcing financial results for the first fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2016. A copy of the press release titled &ldquo;Ark Restaurants Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter
of 2017&rdquo; is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The press release contains
certain non-GAAP Disclosures-Continuing Operations EBITDA-Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted
for non-cash stock option expense and non-controlling interests. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure
enhances an overall understanding of the Company&rsquo;s past financial performance, as well as providing useful information to
the investor because of its historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity, and the use of
EBITDA by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity.</P>

ended December 31, 2016 includes revenues of $707,000, which represents one month of sales, related to the Oyster House properties
in Gulf Shores and Spanish Fort, AL which were acquired on November 30, 2016. The three-month period ended January 2, 2016 includes
revenues of $697,000 related to two properties that were closed during the period.</P>

and non-controlling interests, $1,637,000 resulted from the recognition of a gain (discussed below) in connection with the sale
of the real estate underlying our Rustic Inn, Jupiter, FL property. Without the gain related to the sale of real estate, EBITDA

Rustic Inn location in Jupiter, Florida. The Seller had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third party to sell the
premises; however, Ark Jupiter&rsquo;s lease provided the Company with a right of first refusal to purchase the property. Ark Jupiter
exercised the ROFR on October 4, 2016 and made a ten (10%) percent deposit on the purchase price of approximately Five Million
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,200,000). Concurrent with the execution of the ROFR, Ark Jupiter entered into a Purchase and Sale

    <TD STYLE="width: 97%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure enhances an overall understanding of the Company&rsquo;s past financial performance as well as providing useful information to the investor because of its historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity, and the use of EBITDA by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company&rsquo;s operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, pre-tax income, is included above. </FONT></TD></TR>
