NOTE 3. - SEGMENTS

    The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in franchising 
quick service restaurants that feature made-to-order sandwiches with unique 
sourdough buns, pizzas and salads. At March 31, 1999 the Schlotzsky's system 
included Company owned and franchised stores in 38 states, the District of 
Columbia and 13 foreign countries.

    The Company identifies segments based on management responsibility within 
the corporate structure. The Turnkey Development segment includes the 
development of freestanding stores with high visibility and easy access. The 
Restaurant Operations includes the operation of a limited number of 
Company-owned restaurants for the purpose of product development, concept 
refinement, prototype testing and training and to build brand awareness. The 
Franchise Operations segment encompasses the franchising of stores in order 
to achieve optimal success with owner-operated stores. The Company measures 
segment profit as operating profit, which is defined as income before 
interest and income taxes. Segment information and a reconciliation to 
income, before interest and income taxes are as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

         REVENUES.  Total revenues increased 24.9% from $8,454,000 to 
$10,562,000.

         Royalties increased 17.7% from $4,259,000 to $5,014,000. This 
increase was due to the opening of 94 restaurants during the period from 
April 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999. Also driving the increase was the growing 
influence of larger freestanding units, particularly the prototype units, 
which are the focus of the new unit development. Furthermore, average weekly 
sales increased 6.8% and same store sales increased 0.4% during the first 
quarter of 1999.

         Franchise fees decreased 27.9% from $340,000 to $245,000. This 
decrease was principally a result of 13 fewer store openings during the 
three-month period ended March 31, 1999. The fewer number of openings is 
principally the result of the Company's increasing emphasis on superior site 
selection for larger freestanding stores with higher visibility and on more 
highly qualified and better capitalized franchisees.

     Developer fees increased from $0 to $592,000. This increase was 
attributable to the sale of certain limited development rights to three 
domestic territories during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The rights 
sold will entitle the developers to a 1.25% share of the sales from 
restaurants in these territories. In return, the developers have certain 
franchisee support responsibilities in these territories.

         Restaurant sales increased 57.4% from $1,616,000 to $2,543,000. This 
increase was principally attributable to a 13.1% increase in sales volume at 
the Company's flagship store, the relocation and reopening of three 
Company-owned units in the Austin and College Station, Texas markets, and the 
opening of an additional Company-developed unit in the Austin, Texas market 
during the first quarter of 1999.

         Private label licensing fees (brand contributions), increased 39.7% 
from $860,000 to $1,201,000. This increase was the result of more favorable 
terms with certain major suppliers, as well as the increasing volume of 
system-wide sales and greater franchisee participation in the Company's 
purchasing programs. During 1999, the Company expects additional products may 
be added to its private label program and alternative retail channels of 
distribution of its products may be pursued, resulting in the potential for 
further increases in licensing fees.

     Turnkey development revenue decreased 40.4% from $1,125,000 to $670,000. 
This decrease was primarily attributable to fewer transactions in the period 
compared to the first quarter of 1998. The Company has indicated that it 
intends to place less emphasis on Turnkey transactional revenue during 1999.

         The following table reflects the growth of the franchise system for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. The growth of the system 
during 1998 and 1999 to date is principally responsible for the increased 
revenue as discussed above.

</TABLE>

         COSTS AND EXPENSES. Royalty service costs increased 10.5% from 
$1,621,000 to $1,792,000. This increase was a direct result of the increase 
in royalty revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to 
the same period in the prior year. Royalty service costs as a percentage of 
royalties declined from 38.1% to 35.7%. This decrease reflected the Company's 
reacquisition of rights to a limited number of territories during the period 
and at the end of 1998. Most area developers receive approximately 42% of the 
royalties from stores in their territories. During 1999, the Company expects 
developer service costs as a percentage of royalty revenue to decrease as the 
Company intends to buy-down the rights and obligations of several of its area 
developers and to re-acquire the full development rights to a limited number 
of territories. Area developers whose rights and obligations have been bought 
down receive 1.25% rather than 2.5% out of the 6.0% royalty stream the 
Company receives from franchisees. Accordingly, area developers receive 
approximately 21% of the royalties from stores in territories where the 
Company has re-acquired a portion of their development rights and obligations.

         Franchise fee costs decreased 25.1% from $171,000 to $128,000,  as 
a result of lower franchise fee revenue for the quarter.

         Restaurant cost of sales, which consists of food, beverage and paper 
costs, increased 44.0% from $534,000 to $769,000, but as a percentage of 
restaurant sales decreased from 33.0% to 30.2%. Likewise, restaurant labor 
costs increased 31.7% from $755,000 to $994,000, but as a percentage of 
restaurant sales decreased from 46.7% to 39.1% for the same quarter in 1998. 
Restaurant operating expenses increased 25.2% from $500,000 to $626,000, but 
as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased from 30.9% to 24.6% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the corresponding period in 
1998. The decreases in restaurant cost of sales, restaurant labor cost and 
restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales were 
primarily attributable to efficiencies gained at stores opened during 1998.

         Turnkey development costs increased 152.3% from $411,000 to 
$1,037,000 and as a percentage of Turnkey development revenue increased from 
36.5% to 154.8%. These increases are primarily the result of costs which had 
been capitalized in 1998 being expensed in 1999, due to certain Turnkey sites 
no longer being considered for development and because of a lower level of 
inventory of Turnkey sites at March 31, 1999 compared to the prior period. 
Further contributing to the increases was the addition of staff to the real 
estate department during 1998.

     General and administrative expenses grew 14.1% from $2,504,000 to 
$2,856,000 but as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 29.6% to 
27.0%. This percentage decrease is primarily the result of the decreasing 
pace of additions to Corporate staff since the prior period. The slower rate 
of increase in these expenses occurred principally because much of the 
infrastructure necessary to service the franchise system was already in place 
during the prior period.

                                       9

<PAGE>

         Depreciation and amortization increased 85.1% from $316,000 to 
$585,000, and as a percentage of total revenues increased from 3.7% to 5.5%. 
The increase was principally due to the amortization of development 
territories, goodwill and other intangibles acquired during 1998 and the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 and depreciation related to the additional 
stores the Company was operating during the year. The Company owned and 
operated six stores as of March 31, 1998 and eight as of March 31, 1999.

         OTHER. Interest income increased 27.0% from $566,000 to $719,000. 
This increase was a result of a greater level of funds outstanding in the 
form of Turnkey mortgages and interim construction financing under the 
Turnkey Program.

     Interest expenses increased 327.9% from $61,000 to $261,000. This 
increase was a result of a greater level of debt outstanding during the 
current period. The Company expects interest expense may continue to trend 
upward as additional debt financing may be used to fund construction of 
Company-owned stores and the reacquisition of certain area developer rights.

         INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense reflected a combined federal 
and state effective tax rate of 37.1% for the three months ended March 31, 
1999, which was slightly lower than the effective combined tax rate of 37.5% 
for the comparable period in 1998. Based on projections of taxable income, 
the Company anticipates that its effective combined rate for federal and 
state taxes will be approximately 37% for 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in operating activities was $4,290,000 for the first three 
months of 1999. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased 
$7,750,000, primarily due to the payment of amounts outstanding at December 
31, 1998. Net cash of $10,845,000 was used in investing activities primarily 
consisting of property and equipment expenditures of $7,214,000 relating to 
the development of five additional Company-owned units, two of which were 
completed at the end of 1998, two which were completed in the first quarter 
and one that remains in development. The Company used primarily $4,505,000 to 
buy-down the rights of several of its area developers and to re-acquire the 
rights to a limited number of territories.

     During the first three months of 1999, financing activities provided net 
cash of $5,140,000. This was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of 
term debt.

     At March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $19,689,000 of debt 
outstanding. During 1999, the Company borrowed $5,061,000 to fund its 
buy-down of the rights and obligations of several of its area developers and 
to re-acquire the rights to a limited number of territories. During 1998, the 
Company borrowed approximately $5,000,000 in connection with the 
re-acquisition of certain domestic development rights and drew on its line of 
credit to fund certain Turnkey development activities. The Company also 
borrowed $1,113,000 primarily in connection with the re-acquisition of 
certain domestic development rights during 1997. These notes bear interest at 
rates ranging from the lender's prime interest rate to 10.6% and all mature 
by the end of 2001. The Company guaranties certain real estate mortgages and 
leases, equipment leases and other obligations of franchisees. At March 31, 
1999, contingent liabilities totaled approximately $24,610,000.

     The Company continues to refine its Turnkey Program and expects that it 
will have 50 to 100 sites under contract or at various stages of development 
at any given time. The Company has used the net proceeds from its public 
offerings and the proceeds from sites sold and contracts assigned to finance 
the activity of the Turnkey Program. With the anticipated activity in the 
Turnkey Program, the capital required to finance the Turnkey Program will be 
significant. The tables below provide a summary of the Turnkey Program 
activity for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

     The Company has a line of credit from a financial institution which may 
be used to finance Turnkey Program capital requirements. In December 1998, 
the line of credit was increased to allow the Company to draw up to 
$15,000,000, bears interest at the bank's prime lending rate and expires 
December 2001. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had drawn approximately 
$12,785,000 on this line of credit and had allowed certain area developers 
and franchisees to borrow $2,215,000 under this credit facility.

     At March 31, 1999, the Company had $5,000,000 outstanding on a line of 
credit from a financial institution, bearing interest at the bank's prime 
lending rate. This line was retired in April 1999 and is no longer available 
to the Company.

     During 1999, the Company secured a line of credit from a financial 
institution to retire existing debt and to buy-down the rights and 
obligations of several of its area developers and to re-acquire the rights to 
a limited number of territories. The line of credit can be drawn upon to fund 
up to $15,000,000, bears interest at the bank's prime lending rate less 0.75% 
and expires July 1999. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had not drawn upon 
this line of credit.

     The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with the 
proceeds of the Turnkey Program, collections from notes receivable and 
borrowings under existing credit facilities described above, will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated operating cash needs for the 
foreseeable future. If the net proceeds from the Turnkey Program, credit 
facilities, and cash flow from operations are insufficient to finance the 
Company's future expansion plans, including continuing investment in Turnkey 
Program properties and the buydowns of percentages of royalties of certain 
Area Developers, the Company intends to seek additional funds for this 
purpose from future debt financings or additional offerings of equity 
securities, although, there can be no assurance of the availability of such 
funds on acceptable terms in the future.

     YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The year 2000 issue is a result of many computer programs being written 
using two digits, e.g. "99", to define a year. Date-sensitive software may 
recognize the year "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This 
would result in errors and miscalculations or even system failure causing 
disruptions in business activities and transactions.

     The Company's computer software programs utilize four digits to define 
the applicable calendar year and therefore the Company believes that it has 
no material internal risk concerning the Year 2000 issue. The Company has 
received responses from many of its major restaurant equipment suppliers 
indicating that they and the products they sell to the Company's restaurant 
system also have no material internal risk from the Year 2000 issue. To date, 
none of the Company's major suppliers have indicated that they anticipate 
material internal risks. The Company is continuing a process of in-depth 
inquiry concerning the readiness of its major suppliers and those of the 
restaurant system. The Company will assess and, where practicable, attempt to 
mitigate its risks with respect to the failure of these entities to be Year 
2000 compliant. The Company plans to continue to educate its franchise system 
during 1999 to prepare them to anticipate Year 2000 issues which could affect 
them locally. The Company does not anticipate that its costs associated with 
monitoring readiness and mitigating risks concerning the Year 2000 issue will 
be material. However, even if favorable responses are received, there can be 
no assurance that third parties will be Year 2000 compliant. The impact on 
the Company's operations, if any, from the inability of any of its suppliers 
and franchisees to become Year 2000 compliant is not reasonably estimable 
(except that if there is a national or regional crisis in the financial, 
transportation or utility infrastructure, it would likely adversely affect 
most commercial enterprises, including the Company.)

     FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning 
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are not historical 
facts. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of 
revenues, income and capital expenditures, plans for future operations, 
financing needs or plans (including plans relating to Turnkey Program real 
estate transactions, possible debt financings and transactions with area 
developers), and plans relating to products or services of the Company, as 
well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. These statements involve 
management assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties such as 
changes in interest rates, availability of favorable financing for the 
Company or its franchisees, satisfactory completion of transactions with 
franchisees and area developers, intense competition, future restaurant 
openings and changes in development plans or strategies, along with factors 
set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A in "Business," pages 
1-15. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward looking 
statements that may be contained in this report.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Changes in short-term interest rates on loans from financial 
institutions could materially affect the Company's earnings because the 
underlying obligations are either variable, or fixed for such a short period 
of time as to effectively become variable.

         At March 31, 1999 a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in 
interest rates would result in a reduction of approximately $38,000 in 
quarterly pre-tax earnings. The estimated reduction is based upon the 
increased interest expense of our variable rate debt and assumes no change in 
the volume or composition of debt at March 31, 1999. The fair values of the 
Company's bank loans are not significantly affected by changes in market 
interest rates.
