THE KEG ROYALTIES INCOME FUND ANNOUNCES STRONG THIRD

Vancouver, October 15, 2007 - The Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN:TSX, the “Fund”) and Keg Restaurants Ltd. today announced sales results for the 13 and 39-week periods ended September 30, 2007. 

Keg Restaurants Ltd.’s total system sales for the 13 weeks ended September 30, 2007 were $107.4 million compared to $98.0 million for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2006, an increase of $9.4 million or 9.7%. For the 39-week period ended September 30, 2007, The Keg’s total system sales were $319.3 million compared to $286.8 million for the 39-week period ended October 1, 2006, an increase of $32.5 million or 11.4%. Royalty Pool Sales increased by 12.5% to $103.0 million for the quarter, and by 12.9% to $309.2 million for the nine-month period. 

The Keg’s same store sales (sales of restaurants that operated during the entire period of both the current and prior years) increased by 9.5% in Canada and by 1.9% in the United States for the 13-week period ended September 30, 2007, and by 9.1% in Canada and by 3.7% in the United States for the 39-week period ended September 30, 2007. After translating the sales of the U.S. restaurants into their Canadian dollar equivalent, consolidated same store sales increased by 7.2% for the 13-week period and by 7.8% for the 39-week period, despite the continuing negative effect of the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars. 

“We are thrilled with the strong growth experienced throughout the company,” said David Aisenstat, President & CEO of Keg Restaurants Ltd. “Our Canadian business continues to show truly outstanding growth, and we are equally encouraged by the same store sales growth generated by our U.S. locations, particularly when compared to the negative same store sales growth reported by many of our U.S. casual dining competitors.” 

Vancouver-based Keg Restaurants Ltd. is the leading operator and franchisor of steakhouse restaurants in Canada and has a substantial presence in select regional markets in the United States. KRL continues to operate The Keg restaurant system and expand that system through the addition of both corporate and franchised Keg steakhouses.
