                           CASA OLE RESTAURANTS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  In the opinion of Casa Ole Restaurants, Inc. (the "Company"),
          the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all
          adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and
          adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
          financial position as of June 28, 1998, and the consolidated
          statements of income and cash flows for the 26-week and 13-week
          periods ended June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997. The consolidated
          statements of income for the 26-week and 13-week periods ended June
          28, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
          for the full year.

                  Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company changed its fiscal 
          quarters to four thirteen week quarters. For comparative purposes,
          fiscal 1997 consolidated statements of income and cash flows have
          been restated for the 26-week and 13-week periods ended June 29,
          1997.

2.        ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  During the interim periods the Company follows the accounting
          policies set forth in its consolidated financial statements in its
          Annual Report and Form 10-K (file number 0-28234). Reference should 
          be made to such financial statements for information on such
          accounting policies and further financial details.

                  Effective the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
         changed its estimate of the useful lives of certain recently acquired
         fixed assets, primarily those belonging to Monterey's Acquisition
         Corp. ("MAC"). The purpose of the change was to bring the asset lives
         of Casa Ole and MAC into conformity with each other and with industry
         norms. As a result of this change, income before income taxes
         increased approximately $264,000, net income increased approximately
         $162,000 and basic and diluted earnings per share increased
         approximately $0.04 for the 26-weeks ended June 28, 1998.

                  The Company does not have or participate in transactions
         involving derivative, financial and commodity instruments.


3.       PRO FORMA DATA

                  On July 2, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the 
          outstanding stock of MAC. The Company purchased the shares of common
          stock for $4.0 million, paid off outstanding debt and accrued
          interest totaling $7.1 million and funded various other agreed upon
          items approximating $500,000. Approximately $6.0 million of goodwill
          was recorded as a result of this purchase. At the time of the
          acquisition, MAC owned and operated 26 restaurants in Texas and
          Oklahoma under the names "Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe," "Monterey's
          Little Mexico" and "Tortuga Cantina."

                   The table below presents unaudited pro forma income statement
          information as if the Company had purchased MAC at the beginning of
          fiscal 1997. Pro forma adjustments were made to remove consulting
          fees that are non-continuing, amortize the resulting goodwill over 40
          years and remove the pre-acquisition goodwill amortization, reflect
          net interest expense on the debt resulting from the acquisition and
          record additional income tax at an effective rate of 39.0% on the
          combined income of the Company and MAC. The acquisition was accounted
          for as a purchase.

                   The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative

          of operations.


4.        NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, 
          "Earnings per Share", specifies new measurement, presentation and
          disclosure requirements for earnings per share and is required to be
          applied retroactively upon initial adoption. The Company has adopted
          SFAS No. 128 effective with the release of December 28, 1997 earnings
          data, and accordingly, has restated herein all previously reported
          income per share data. Basic income per share is based on the
          weighted average shares outstanding without any dilutive effects
          considered. Diluted income per share reflects dilution from all
          continently issuable shares, including options and warrants. For the
          26-week and 13-week periods ended June 29, 1997, the effect of
          dilutive stock options increased the weighted average shares
          outstanding by 711 and 974 shares respectively, which does not affect
          the determination of diluted income per share. For the 26-week and
          13-week periods ended June 28, 1998, the effect of dilutive stock
          options increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 7,072
          and 7,122 shares respectively, which does not affect the
          determination of diluted income per share.                       

                   AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
          Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), requires that costs of start-up 
          activities be expensed as incurred and to report the initial adoption
          as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. SOP 98-5
          is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
          December 15, 1998. Deferred start-up costs as of June 28, 1998 and 
          December 28, 1997 were $169,819 and $206,755, respectively.


5.        EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

                   In fiscal 1997, the Company acquired the assets of one of its
          franchise locations for a $750,000 note payable to the prior
          franchisee. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company accepted an
          offer from the prior franchisee to prepay the remaining $450,000
          balance of the note for a discounted sum of $385,000, resulting in a
          gain, net of taxes, of $39,975.

                   On June 25, 1998, the Company completed a sale and leaseback
          transaction involving the sale and lease back of the land, building
          and improvements of 13 company-owned restaurants. The properties were
          sold for $11.5 million and resulted in a gain of approximately $3.5
          million that will be deferred and amortized over the terms of the
          leases, which are 15 years each. The leases are classified as
          operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13 "Accounting for
          Leases".

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


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          yet experienced by the Company. The use of words such as "believes",
          "anticipates", "expects", "intends" and similar expressions are
          intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the
          exclusive means of identifying such statements. Readers are urged to
          carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
          Company in this report and in the Company's Annual Report and Form
          10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997, that attempt to
          advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect
          the Company's business.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   The Company closed on its purchase of 100% of the outstanding
          stock of Monterey's Acquisition Corp. ("MAC") on July 2, 1997.
          Accordingly, the results of operations for the second quarter ending
          June 28, 1998 presented below include the operations of the 25 MAC
          units. Pro forma information as if the Company had owned MAC for the
          26-week and 13-week periods ended June 29, 1997 is presented in note
          3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included herein.
          Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company changed its fiscal quarters to
          four thirteen week quarters. For comparative purposes, fiscal 1997
          consolidated statements of income and cash flows have been restated
          for the 26-week and 13-week period ended June 29, 1997.

                   Revenues. The Company's revenues for the second quarter of
          fiscal 1998 were up 103.7% to $12.0 million over revenues of $5.9
          million for the same quarter a year ago. Restaurant sales for the
          second quarter of 1998 were up $6.0 million over the same quarter a
          year ago, to $11.7 million. Sales at the thirteen restaurants
          operating in both fiscal quarters (same-stores) were down 5.2% over
          last year's same quarter, offsetting the overall sales increase by
          $227,000. The 25 MAC units contributed $5.8 million in the second
          quarter (the 24 MAC same-store sales were up 4.0% over last year's
          same quarter). On a pro forma basis, same-store sales were virtually
          flat, decreasing 0.2%. The remaining increase was due to the
          additional sales contributed by the Company's new stores.
          Franchise-owned stores operating in both fiscal quarters were up
          5.45%. Total system same store sales were up 1.7%.

                   On a year-to-date basis, the Company's revenues were up
          105.6% to $23.9 million over revenues of $11.6 million for the same
          26-week period a year ago. Restaurant sales for the 26-week period
          were up $12.1 million over the same 26-week period a year ago. Sales
          at the thirteen restaurants operating in both fiscal quarters were
          down 4.4% over last year's 26-week period, offsetting the overall
          sales increase by $386,000. The 25 MAC units contributed $11.5
          million in the 26-week period (the 24 MAC same-store sales were up
          4.5% over last year's 26-week period). On a pro forma basis, same
          store sales were up slightly by 0.3%. Franchise-owned stores
          operating in the same 26-week period were up 5.3%. Total system
          same-store sales were up 1.9%.

                   Costs and Expenses. Cost of sales, consisting primarily of
          food and beverage costs but also includes paper, supplies and
          franchise expenses, increased in the second quarter of 1998 to 27.5%
          of restaurant sales as compared with 25.2% in the same period in
          1997. This increase is attributable in part to an increase in the
          proportion of MAC units, which have a higher average cost of sales
          than Casa Ole units. Also contributing to the increase is the new
          emphasis placed on value perception within the Casa Ole concept,
          achieved primarily by increasing portion sizes. The Company estimates
          that food cost increased 2.0% on a comparable period basis.
          Approximately one quarter of that increase was offset by menu price
          increases.

                   On a year-to-date basis, cost of sales increased to 27.1% of
          restaurant sales as compared with 24.8% in the same period a year ago.

                   Labor and other related expenses decreased as a percentage
          of restaurant sales by 60 basis points to 33.5% in the second quarter
          of 1998 as compared with 34.1% in the same period in 1997. This
          decrease is due in part to the closure of one under-performing store,
          the sale of another under-performing store in fiscal 1997 and due to
          improved employee utilization in most of the remaining stores.

                   On a year-to-date basis, labor and other related expenses
          decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales by 50 basis points to
          33.5% as compared with 34.0% in the same period a year ago.

                   Restaurant operating expenses, which primarily includes rent,
          utilities, repair and maintenance and advertising, decreased as a
          percentage of restaurant sales by 210 basis points to 20.4% in the
          second quarter of 1998 as compared with 22.5% in the same period in
          1997. This dramatic improvement is primarily due to cost cutting
          measures made throughout the store system, and especially so in
          stores developed since the initial public offering. Expenses showing
          the most improvement were smallwares, repair and maintenance, office
          expense, utilities, and insurance. Rent expense decreased 100 basis
          points on a comparable basis due to the large number of MAC owned
          stores. However, due to the sale-leaseback transaction, this trend
          will not continue. Again, the closure of one under-performing store
          and the sale of another under-performing store in fiscal 1997 also
          helped to improve overall operating margins.

                   On a year-to-date basis, restaurant operating expenses
          decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales by 120 basis points to
          21.2% as compared with 22.4% in the same period a year ago.

                   General and administrative expenses (G&A) decreased as a
          percentage of total revenues by 150 basis points to 8.9% in the
          second quarter of 1998 as compared with 10.4% in the same period in
          1997. This decrease is due in part to the administrative efficiencies
          gained with the purchase of Monterey's Acquisition Corp.

                   On a year-to-date basis, general and administrative expenses
          decreased as a percentage of total revenues by 150 basis points to
          9.0% compared with 10.5% in the same period a year ago.

                   Depreciation and amortization expense increased as a
          percentage of total revenues by 60 basis points to 3.2% in the second
          quarter of 1998 as compared with 2.6% in the same period in 1997.
          This increase is the direct result of the addition of depreciable
          assets related to the Company's five new store openings since the
          second quarter of 1997, along with added depreciation and
          amortization related to the purchase of MAC. Effective the first
          quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company changed its estimate of the
          useful lives of certain recently acquired fixed assets to reflect
          actual useful lives and industry norms (see note 2).

                   On a year-to-date basis, depreciation and amortization
          expense increased as a percentage of total revenues by 120 basis
          points to 3.4% compared with 2.2% in the same period a year ago.

                   Other Income (Expense). Net other income (expense) decreased
          from income to an expense for the second quarter of 1998, a change of
          approximately $265,000. The net decrease was due to the reduction in
          interest income as the proceeds from the 1996 initial public offering
          were used for construction projects and the debt incurred related to
          the purchase of MAC.

                   On a year-to-date basis, net other income (expense) decreased
          from income to an expense, a change of approximately $487,000.

                   Income Tax Expense.  The Company's effective tax rate for 
          fiscal 1998 is 39.5%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                   Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million
          for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998, compared to $494,000 for the
          same period last year. As of June 28, 1998, the Company had a working
          capital deficit of $2.0 million, which is common in the restaurant
          industry, since restaurant companies do not typically require a
          significant investment in either accounts receivable or inventory.

                   During the first 26 weeks of 1998, capital expenditures on
          property, plant and equipment were approximately $2.3 million as
          compared to $4.0 million for the same period of 1997. Capital
          expenditures included the remodeling of seven restaurants, one in
          Copperas Cove, Texas, five in Houston, Texas, and one in Grand
          Prairie, Texas. Immediately after the second quarter ended, the
          Company remodeled an eighth restaurant and began remodeling three
          other restaurants. One new store opened late in the 2nd quarter in
          Boise, Idaho, and an existing store was relocated (primarily paid for
          by the landlord) in Houston, Texas. Currently the Company has two new
          restaurant sites under construction which are scheduled to open in
          the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Another two sites are currently
          under contract and are scheduled to open in fiscal 1999.
          Additionally, the Company had cash outlays for necessary replacement
          of equipment in various older units. The Company estimates its
          capital expenditures during the third quarter will approximate $1.4
          million. During the second quarter, the Company sold a land site,
          which no long fit within the Company's strategic plan, for
          approximately $200,000, incurring a loss on sale of approximately
          $10,000.

                   On June 25, 1998, the Company completed an $11.5 million
          sale-leaseback transaction with Franchise Finance Corporation of
          America ("FFCA"). The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately
          $3.5 million which will be deferred and amortized over 15 years. The 
          13 properties sold will be leased-back from FFCA for a minimum of 15
          years with five 5-year options to renew. The proceeds from the
          sale-leaseback transaction were used to pay down most of the Company's
          outstanding debt with NationsBank of Texas ($5.2 million term note and
          $5.4 million revolving line note).


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
                   Separately, the Company negotiated with FFCA a $14.5 million
          forward commitment to finance up to 12 new restaurants. The Company
          also amended its credit facility with NationsBank of Texas. The terms
          of the amended credit facility are similar to those in the original
          facility; however, the facility was reduced from a $13.0 million term
          and revolving credit facility to a $5.0 million revolving line of
          credit. The interest rate is either the prime rate or LIBOR plus a
          stipulated percentage. The Company is subject to a non-use fee of
          0.35% on the unused portion of the revolver from the date of the
          credit agreement. Within the terms of the credit agreement, the
          Company must meet certain financial covenants. As of June 28, 1998,
          the Company had $910,000 outstanding under the revolving line of
          credit.

                   The Company's management believes that the sale leaseback
          arrangements, along with operating cash flow and the Company's
          revolving line of credit with Nationsbank, will be sufficient to meet
          its operating requirements and to finance its expansion plans
          (exclusive of any acquisitions) through the end of the 2000 fiscal
          year.

                  Year 2000. The Company reached a decision to continue
          outsourcing its accounting processes. The new outsourcing group will
          set up an accounting department on the premises of the Company and
          will install new computer hardware and software that is Year 2000
          adapted. Further, the Company has reviewed its information systems and
          is currently in the process of modifying those systems that are not
          Year 2000 compliant. The Company also has initiated discussions with
          its significant suppliers and financial institutions to ensure that
          those parties have appropriate plans to remediate Year 2000 issues
          where their systems interface with the Company's systems or otherwise
          impact its operations. The Company is assessing the extent to which
          its operations are vulnerable should those organizations fail to
          remediate their computer systems properly. Management believes that
          the Company's systems are compliant, or will be compliant by June
          1999. All maintenance and modification costs will be expensed as
          incurred, while the cost of new computer hardware and software, if
          material, is being capitalized and depreciated over its expected
          useful life. The cost of the Year 2000 compliance program is not
          anticipated to be material to the Company's financial position or
          results of operations.
