                     NOTES TO CONSENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results
of the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1998.

NOTE 2 - LOSS PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No.
128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per
share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar
to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if
their effect is anti-dilutive. Net loss per share amounts for all periods have
been restated to conform to SFAS No. 128 requirements.

Prior to SFAS No. 128, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") required
that, even where anti-dilutive, common and common equivalent shares issued
during the twelve-month period prior to the filing of an initial public offering
("IPO") be included in the calculation of earnings per share as if they were
outstanding for all periods presented (using the treasury stock method and the
IPO price). Because of new requirements issued in 1998 by the SEC for companies
that recently completed an IPO and interpretation by FASB of the initial
application of SFAS No. 128, the number of shares used in the calculation of
basic net loss per share has changed to exclude common equivalent shares, even
when anti-dilutive. Net loss per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 have been restated to conform with SFAS No. 128 and Staff
Accounting Bulleting No. 98.

connection with the Company's IPO.

In connection with the IPO in February 1998, the Company granted the
underwriters warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an initial
exercise price of 140% of the IPO price. The warrants are exercisable for a
period of four years commencing one year from the IPO date.

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE

In March 1998, $ 1,112,500 of the notes payable relating to the $1,500,000
private placements were converted into 278,125 shares of the Company's common
stock. The remaining balance of $387,500 plus accrued interest was paid off.

In March 1998, the bridge loans of $150,000 plus accrued interest were paid off.

In March through July 1998, certain other notes payable to various individuals

                     NOTES TO CONSENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Through September 30, 1998, the Company had advanced $461,047 to certain
officers of the Company. These advances are non-interest bearing and are
expected to be repaid by December 31, 1998.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

Certain disputes arose with the sellers of the Torrance and Fullerton
restaurants following the closing of the Company's IPO resulting in an extended
escrow closing period. Additionally, certain disputes arose related to the
Company's obligation under its consulting agreement with the principal of the
sellers. The disputes in this transaction related primarily to the sellers'
claim that the Company should be obligated to pay for certain unpaid federal
income and state sales taxes of the sellers of approximately $287,000 and
$193,000, respectively, and certain liabilities to vendors of approximately
$135,000.

The Company made various, but not all scheduled payments in connection with the
above mentioned consulting agreement and withheld or deferred certain other
payments as a result of performance issues relating to the restaurants.

As a result of these disputes, the Company withheld payment on a $375,000 note
payable due subsequent to the Company's IPO in February 1998 and withheld five
(5) monthly payments due on a $870,000 note payable. On July 21, 1998, the
Company and the sellers of the Torrance and Fullerton restaurants settled the
matter which resulted in the Company paying the $375,000 note payable plus
accrued interest, paying the five (5) monthly payments on the $870,000 note
payable that were in arrears, and paying the amounts due under the consulting
agreement. The sellers in turn, paid their federal income and state sales taxes,
and the amounts due to the vendors.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

General

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

The Company currently owns the two restaurants it acquired in August 1996, along
with managing the two restaurants that are currently in escrow. The Company has
already converted one of these restaurants into a Texas roadhouse format. The
Torrance restaurant is closed for remodeling and the Fullerton restaurant is
undergoing a partial remodeling. It is anticipated that the remodeling will be
completed for both restaurants by the end of the fourth quarter of 1998, with 
the subsequent re-opening of the Torrance restaurant shortly thereafter. The 
Company believes that its restaurants will be well positioned in a high-quality,
moderately-priced segment of the restaurant industry. The Company is continually
seeking strategic restaurant acquisitions to increase the size of the Company.
To that end, on August 31, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire Paragon Steakhouse Restaurants, Inc., which owns eighty U.S. based
steakhouses and Pacific Basin Foods, a restaurant food distribution company. The
transaction is subject to various closing conditions and no assurance can be 
given that the transaction will be closed. In addition, during the fourth
quarter of 1998, the Company purchased two restaurants in Riverside and Norco,
California that it previously managed.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended 
September 30, 1997

Restaurant revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$411,805 or 68.8% from $598,240 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to
$186,435 for the same period in 1998. The 68.8% decrease was attributable to the
closing of the Torrance restaurant for remodeling and the partial remodeling of
the Fullerton restaurant.

Food and beverage costs for the three months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$154,419 or 69.7% from $221,687 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to
$67,268 for the same period in 1998. Food and beverage costs as a percentage of
restaurant revenues was 37.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to 36.1% for the same period in 1998. This decrease resulted from
slight declines in the cost of meat and produce.

Payroll and payroll related costs for the three months decreased $58,853 or
33.3% from $176,908 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $118,055
for the same period in 1998. Payroll and payroll related costs as a percentage
of restaurant revenues was 29.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to 63.3% for the same period in 1998. The increase in these costs was
the result of ongoing payroll and payroll related costs incurred while
restaurant revenues declined during the remodeling.

                                       10

<PAGE>


Restaurant operating expenses include all other unit-level operating costs, the
major components of which are operating supplies, repairs and maintenance,
advertising expenses, utilities, and other occupancy costs. A substantial
portion of these expenses is fixed or indirectly variable. Restaurant operating
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased $22,572 or
20.2% from $111,892 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $134,464
for the same period in 1998. These costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues
were 18.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 72.1% for
the same period in 1998. The increase in these costs is attributable primarily
to ongoing fixed operating costs continuing to be incurred while the two
restaurant units were being remodeled.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 1998
increased $10,354 or 30.1% from $33,946 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 to $44,300 for the same period in 1998. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is due to the addition of equipment and leasehold improvements that
must be depreciated and amortized over their useful lives.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1998 increased $122,267 or 112.0% from $109,210 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $231,477 for the same period in 1998. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of restaurant revenues was 18.3% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 124.2% for the same period in
1998. This increase resulted from the decline in restaurant revenues while the
remodeling of the two restaurants was undertaken, the increased costs of
pursuing potential acquisitions, higher legal and accounting costs, and
increased compensation to management officers who were not compensated prior to
the completion of the initial public offering.

Pre-opening startup costs for the three months ended September 30, 1998
decreased $63,955 or 100% from $63,955 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 to $0 for the same period in 1998. The Company incurred certain start up
costs to open certain restaurants in the third quarter of 1997. No such costs
were incurred in 1998.

As a result of the above factors, loss from operations for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 increased by $289,771 or 242.8% from $119,358 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 to $409,129 for the same period in 1998

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$95,196 or 58.2% from $163,648 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to
$68,452 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in net interest expense was
the result of using the proceeds from the initial public offering to pay off
short-term borrowings.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased $212,609 or
80.2% from $264,972 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $477,581
for the same period in 1998. Loss per share decreased to $0.20 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a loss per share of $0.33 for the
same period in 1997. The decrease in loss per share is due to the increase in
the weighted average number of shares outstanding as a result of the initial
public offering.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to the Nine Months Ended 
September 30, 1997


Restaurant revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$640,243 or 43.2% from $1,481,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
to $841,476 for the same period in 1998. The 43.2% decrease was attributable to
the closing of the Torrance restaurant for remodeling and the partial remodeling
of the Fullerton restaurant. Also, the adverse weather (El Nino) has affected
the restaurant industry's sales as a whole in California.

Food and beverage costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$241,330 or 47.2% from $510,983 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to
$269,653 for the same period in 1998. Food and beverage costs as a percentage of
restaurant revenues was 34.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to 32.1% for the same period in 1998. This decrease resulted from
slight declines in the cost of meat and produce.

Payroll and payroll related costs for the nine months decreased $143,621 or
29.2% from $491,661 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $348,040 for
the same period in 1998. Payroll and payroll related costs as a percentage of
restaurant revenues were 33.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to 41.4% for the same period in 1998. The increase in these costs was
the result of ongoing payroll and payroll related costs incurred while
restaurant revenues declined during the remodeling.

Restaurant operating expenses include all other unit-level operating costs, the
major components of which are operating supplies, repairs and maintenance,
advertising expenses, utilities, and other occupancy costs. A substantial
portion of these expenses is fixed or indirectly variable. Restaurant operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $57,688 or 18.7%
from $308,640 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $366,328 for the
same period in 1998. These costs as a percentage of restaurant revenues were
20.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 43.5% for the
same period in 1998. The increase in these costs is attributable primarily to
ongoing fixed operating costs continuing to be incurred while the two restaurant
units were being remodeled.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased $9,517 or 9.5% from $100,224 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 to $109,741 for the same period in 1998. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is due to the addition of equipment and leasehold improvements that
must be depreciated and amortized over their useful lives.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased $430,887 or 163.2% from $264,103 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 to $694,990 for the same period in 1998. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of restaurant revenues was 17.8% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to 82.6% for the same period in 1998. This
increase resulted from the decline in restaurant revenues while the remodeling
of the two restaurants was undertaken, the increased costs of pursuing potential
acquisitions, higher legal and accounting costs, and increased compensation to
management officers who were not compensated prior to the completion of the
initial public offering.

Pre-opening startup costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$63,955 or 100% from $63,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $0
for the same period in 1998. The Company incurred certain start up costs to open
certain restaurants in the third quarter of 1997. No such costs were incurred in
1998.

As a result of the above factors, loss from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 increased by $689,429 or 267.4% from $257,847 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 to $947,276 for the same period in 1998

Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$190,904 or 41.0% from $466,044 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to
$275,140 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in net interest expense was
the result of using the proceeds from the initial public offering to pay off
short-term borrowings.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $516,559 or
73.2% from $705,857 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $1,221,416
for the same period in 1998. Loss per share decreased to $0.59 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a loss per share of $0.91 for the
same period in 1997. The decrease in loss per share is due to the increase in
the weighted average number of shares outstanding as a result of the initial
public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of the completion of the initial public offering in February 1998,
and the issuance of debt in July and September, 1998, the Company has a cash and
cash equivalents balance of $744,994 at September 30, 1998, which together with
anticipated cash from operations, management believes is sufficient to cover
operations for at least the next eighteen months. If existing cash and cash
equivalents and anticipated cash from operations is insufficient to satisfy the
Company's working capital and capital expenditures requirements, the Company may
have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities.

The Company expects to complete the remodeling of two restaurants by the end of
the fourth quarter of 1999 and does not expect to incur significant capital 
expenditures in the near future.

During the last nine months the Company has paid deposits and other related fees
of approximately $1.9 million in connection with the planned acquisition of
Paragon Steakhouse Restaurant, Inc.

Impact of inflation

The primary inflationary factors affecting the Company's operations include food
and labor costs. The Company's restaurant personnel are paid at the federal and
state established minimum wage levels and accordingly, changes in such wage
level affect the Company' s labor costs. As costs of food and labor have
increased, the Company will be seeking to offset those increases through
economics of scale and/or increases in menu prices, although there is no
assurance that such offsets will continue. To date inflation has not had a
material impact on loss from operations.


Year 2000

The Company has not made a formal assessment of Year 2000 issues. Generally,
"Year 2000 issues" refers to problems that may arise due to the inability of
some computer software to distinguish between the early part of the present
century and the early part of the next because the software only uses two digits
to identify the year. Thus, 2001 would be indistinguishable from 1901. The
Company believes that there are three possible ways that it could be impacted by
this problem.

First, the Company's internal software could fail. If the Company's software
should fail it might disrupt accounting, the restaurant management system and
similar tasks. The Company believes that even if its software should fail,
remediation would not create a material expense. The second concern posed by
Year 2000 issues is the impact that such software failure would have on the
Company's suppliers. The Company is also contacting critical suppliers of
products and services to determine the extent to which the Company may be
vulnerable to such parties' failure to resolve their own Year 2000 issues. Where
practicable, the Company will assess and attempt to mitigate its risks with
respect to the failure of these entities to be Year 2000 compliant. The effect,
if any,

                                       14

<PAGE>


on the Company's results of operations from the failure of such parties to be
Year 2000 compliant is not reasonably estimable. The third possible threat posed
to the Company by Year 2000 issues is one of a general downturn in the economy
due to software failures. The Company believes that this is a remote
possibility.

Although the Company believes that it will not suffer any material adverse
effects as a result of Year 2000 issues, it cannot be certain its judgment
regarding Year 2000 is correct. In the event that the Company, or its suppliers
experience a Year 2000 software failure such a failure could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's business financial condition and results of
operations. Similarly, if the economy as a whole should be adversely impacted by
Year 2000 problems, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business financial condition and results of operations.
