FORTY WEEK PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1996 AND OCTOBER 3, 1995

REVENUES

     Revenues in 1996 increased 14.8% over the same period for 1995, primarily
for the reasons discussed below.  Spaghetti Jack's restaurant sales decreased
10.1% in 1996.  The decrease in sales is the result of increased couponing as
a marketing tool, the lack of advertising via broadcast media and increased
competition.  Comparable restaurant sales (defined as sales from restaurants
open during both fiscal periods for the entire period) for Spaghetti Jack's
decreased 13.1% in the aggregate.  Sub & Stuff restaurant sales increased
27.1% in 1996, primarily as a result of two new restaurants being opened in
1996 and from the acquisition in August and September 1995 of the remaining
interest in three joint ventures (which each owned one restaurant).  These
acquisitions resulted in the operations of the restaurants being included in
the financial statements on a consolidated basis for the full forty weeks in
1996 versus the equity method for the majority of the forty weeks in 1995.
Comparable restaurants sales for Sub & Stuff decreased 10.5% in the aggregate. 
This decrease is due to the increased couponing as a marketing tool, the lack
of broadcast media advertising and increased competition.  Spaghetti Jack's
royalty income decreased 9.1% in 1996 over 1995.  Sub & Stuff royalty income
increased 19.2% in 1996 over 1995.  Spaghetti Jack's franchise fees in 1996
were $25,000, which is the result of the addition of one franchise restaurant
in 1996.  One Sub & Stuff franchise has opened in 1996, resulting in $9,000 in
franchise fees.

COST OF SALES

     Cost of sales increased 7.9%, primarily as a result of the acquisition of
the remaining interests in the Sub & Stuff joint ventures mentioned above. 
Spaghetti Jack's food and paper cost decreased by 11.0% in the forty week
period ended October 1, 1996 compared to the forty week period ended October
3, 1995.  This decrease is attributed to the decrease in sales and to the sale
of a Company-owned restaurant.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's restaurant
sales, the cost of food and paper decreased to 29.7% in 1996 from 29.8% in
1995, due to increased operational efficiencies.  Sub & Stuff food and paper
cost increased by 21.1%.  This increase is attributed to the same factors
which caused the above described increase in sales, offset by substantial
gains in operational efficiencies.  As a percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant
sales, the cost of food and paper decreased to 32.4% in 1996 from 34.0% in
1995, as a result of operational efficiencies.  Spaghetti Jack's costs of
wages and benefits decreased by 25.5% in 1996 compared to 1995.  This decrease
is attributed to the introduction of an aggressive labor management system and
productivity expectations.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's restaurant
sales, the cost of wages and benefits decreased to 28.7% in 1996 from 33.7% in
1995, as the result of the labor management system mentioned above.  Sub &
Stuff wages and benefits increased by 19.1%  in 1996 compared to 1995.  This
increase is attributed to the same factors which caused the above described
increase in sales.  As a percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant sales, the cost
of wages and benefits decreased to 33.3% in 1996 from 35.5% in 1995, as the
result of the introduction of an aggressive labor management system and
productivity expectations into the restaurants.

RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES
     Overall restaurant and operating expenses increased 34.2%, primarily as a
result of increased advertising expenses and the inclusion of all operating
expenses related to the Sub & Stuff restaurants previously operated through
joint ventures.  Spaghetti Jack's restaurant operating expenses decreased by
4.4% compared to 1995.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's restaurant sales,
operating expenses increased to 34.2% in 1996, from 32.2% in 1995.  Sub &
Stuff restaurant operating expenses increased by 57.6% in 1996 compared to
1995.  The acquisition of the joint ventures and opening of two restaurants
mentioned above contributed to the increase in operating expenses.  The
remaining increase is primarily attributed to same restaurant increases in
advertising expenses, additional maintenance expense and depreciation and
amortization.  As a percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant sales, operating
expenses increased to 27.9% in 1996 from 22.5% in 1995 as a result of the
factors noted above.

PRE-OPENING EXPENSES

     Pre-opening expenses are those costs associated with the opening of a
Company restaurant.  The expenses consist principally of non-recurring costs
such as employee recruiting and training, supplies and miscellaneous
expenditures.  Such costs are expensed as incurred.  During the forty week
period ended October 1, 1996 expenses totaled $133,973 as compared to none in
the comparable period of 1995.  Two Sub & Stuff restaurants have opened and
one Sub & Stuff was relocated during 1996, no stores were opened in the
comparable period of 1995.  Subsequent to the period ended October 1, 1996,
the Company opened two Spaghetti Jack's and two Sub & Stuff restaurants and
relocated one Sub & Stuff restaurant to a new site which also offers Spaghetti
Jack's menu items.  Although expenses were incurred during the period ended
October 1, 1996, some stores associated with these costs did not open until
after period end.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Administrative expenses increased by 29.4% for the forty week period
ended October 1, 1996, compared to the forty week period ended October 3,
1995.  This increase is attributed to increased number of staff positions that
include a Director of Franchise Development and a Vice President of Operations
for Spaghetti Jack's.  The increase is also due to increased fixed occupancy
costs including higher depreciation and amortization associated with the
relocation of the corporate office facility.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

     During 1996, the Company recorded a provision of $175,855 for a lease
obligation on a closed Company-owned restaurant based on management's
assessment of the loss exposure to this lease.  Changes in interest income
between the periods are primarily due to changes in the level of cash
available for investment.  Interest expense increased by $175,542 to $471,464
for the forty week period ended October 1, 1996, compared to $295,922 for the

                                  -9-
<PAGE>
forty week period ended October 3, 1995.  This increase in interest expense is
the result of increased borrowing during the period ended October 1, 1996. 
Equity in income of joint ventures and the minority interest in loss of
entities not wholly-owned decreased in 1996 compared to 1995 as a result of
the acquisition, by the Company, of such interests during 1995.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company continues to operate unprofitably and to accumulate net
operating loss carryforwards and, as a result, does not have taxable income.

TWELVE WEEK PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1996 AND OCTOBER 3, 1995

REVENUES

     Revenues decreased 4.0%, primarily as a result of increased couponing as
a marketing tool, the lack of advertising via broadcast media and increased
competition.  Spaghetti Jack's restaurant sales for the twelve week period
ended October 1, 1996 decreased 27.1% from the comparable period ended October
3, 1995.  The decrease in sales is for the same reasons that overall sales
declined mentioned above. Comparable restaurant sales (defined as sales from
restaurants open during both fiscal periods for the entire period) for
Spaghetti Jack's decreased 23.4% in the aggregate.  Sub & Stuff restaurant
sales increased 21.2% for the twelve week period in 1996 over the comparable
twelve week period in 1995. The increase in sales resulted from the
acquisition in August and September 1995 of the remaining interest in three
joint ventures (which each owned one restaurant).  These acquisitions resulted
in the operations of the restaurants being included in the financial
statements on a consolidated basis for the full twelve weeks in 1996 versus
only a portion of the twelve weeks in 1995.  Comparable restaurants sales for
Sub & Stuff decreased 18.6% in the aggregate.  Spaghetti Jack's royalty income
decreased to $26,941 in 1996 from $41,315 in 1995.  Sub & Stuff royalty income
for the twelve week period was $3,732 in 1996 compared to $1,575 in 1995. 

COST OF SALES

     Cost of sales increased 8.4%,  primarily as a result of the acquisition
of the remaining interests in the joint ventures mentioned above.  Spaghetti
Jack's food and paper cost decreased by 23.6% in the twelve week period ended
October 1, 1996 compared to the comparable period ended October 3, 1995.  This
decrease is attributed to the decrease in sales discussed above and the sale
of a Company-owned restaurant.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's restaurant
sales, the cost of food and paper increased to 29.6% in 1996 from 28.3% in
1995.  Sub & Stuff food and paper cost increased by 21.4% in 1996 compared to
1995.  This increase is attributed to the same factors which caused the above
described increase in sales.  As a percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant sales,
the cost of food and paper remained constant at 32.3% in both 1996 and 1995.
Spaghetti Jack's costs of wages and benefits decreased by 23.5% in 1996
compared to 1995.  This decrease is attributed to the decrease in sales as
described above.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's restaurant sales, the
cost of wages and benefits increased to 30.0% in 1996 from 28.6% in 1995. 
This increase is a result of increasing headcount levels in current
restaurants, to have trained personnel to transfer to new restaurants.  Sub &
Stuff wages and benefits increased by in 26.1% in 1996 compared to 1995.  This

                                    -10-
<PAGE>
increase is attributed to the same factors which caused the above described
increase in sales.  As a percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant sales, the cost
of wages and benefits increased to 34.1% in 1996 from 32.8% in 1995.  This
increase is a result of increasing headcount levels in current restaurants, to
have trained personnel to transfer to new restaurants.

RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES

     Overall restaurant and operating expenses increased 10.8% during the
twelve week period ended October 1, 1996, over the comparable period for 1995,
primarily as a result of increased advertising expenses and the inclusion of
all operating expenses related to the Sub & Stuff restaurants previously
operated through joint ventures.  Spaghetti Jack's restaurant operating
expense decreased by 39.7% in 1996 compared to 1995.  This decrease is
attributed to a decrease in sales.  As a percentage of Spaghetti Jack's
restaurant sales, operating expense decreased to 31.4% in 1996, from 37.9% in
1995, as a result of decreases in variable costs.  Sub & Stuff restaurant
operating expenses increased by 41.2% in 1996 compared to 1995.  The
acquisition of the joint ventures and opening of two restaurants mentioned
above contributed to the increase in operating expenses.  The remaining
increase is primarily attributed to same restaurant increases in advertising
expenses, maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization.  As a
percentage of Sub & Stuff restaurant sales, operating expenses increased to
27.8% in 1996 from 23.9% in 1995 as a result of the decrease in comparable
store sales without related reductions in expenses as well as the factors
noted above.

PRE-OPENING EXPENSES

     Pre-opening expenses are those costs associated with the opening of a
Company restaurant.  The expenses consist principally of non-recurring costs
such as employee recruiting and training, supplies and miscellaneous
expenditures.  During the twelve week period ended October 1, 1996 expenses
totaled $97,389 as compared to none in the comparable period of 1995.  No
restaurants were opened in the period ended October 1, 1996, however,
subsequent to the period, the Company opened two Spaghetti Jack's and two Sub
& Stuff restaurants and relocated one Sub & Stuff restaurant to a new site
which also offers Spaghetti Jack's menu items.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Administrative expenses increased by for 28.9% for the twelve week period
ended October 1, 1996 compared to the twelve week period ended October 3,

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
1995.  This increase is attributed to increased number of staff positions that
include a Director of Franchise Development and a Vice President of Operations
for Spaghetti Jack's.  The increase is also due to increased fixed occupancy
costs including higher depreciation and amortization associated with the
relocation of the corporate office facility.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

     Changes in interest income between the periods are primarily due to
changes in the level of cash available for investment.  Interest expense
increased by $18,184 to $161,859 for the twelve week period ended October 1,
1996, compared to $143,675 for the twelve week period ended October 3, 1995. 
This increase in interest expense is the result of increased borrowing during
the period ended October 1, 1996.  Equity in income of joint ventures and the
minority interest in loss of entities not wholly-owned decreased in 1996
compared to 1995 as a result of the acquisition, by the Company, of such
interests during 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, the Company has satisfied its need for liquidity and
capital through issuances of common stock and debt.  As of October 1, 1996,
the Company had approximately $5.7 million in debt.  The Company's restaurant
operations do not have significant receivables or inventory and receive trade
credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies.  As of
October 1, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,694,273 as
compared to a deficit of $388,467 at October 3, 1995.  The increase in working
capital deficit is primarily due to a $1.7 million note payable to a
stockholder being included in current portion of long-term debt.

     On October 22, 1996 the Company began an initial public offering
("Offering") of its common stock on a best efforts basis, with a minimum of 
1,066,667 shares and a maximum of 1,600,000 shares available for sale.  
The Offering period will close on or about December 11, 1996. 

     During the forty week period ended October 1, 1996 the Company's cash
deficit from operations increased by $258,054 as compared to the cash deficit
during the forty weeks ended October 3, 1995.  This increase in cash deficit
is primarily due to the increased net loss.

     During the forty week period ended October 1, 1996 the Company had a cash
deficit from investing activities of $355,649 as compared to a deficit of
$1,063,541 for 1995.  The reduction of the deficit was primarily due to the
acquisition of the remaining interest in three joint ventures in 1995 but not
in 1996 and proceeds from the sale of a Company owned restaurant in 1996 but

not in 1995.

     Capital expenditures during the forty week period ended October 1, 1996
totaled $606,949 as compared to expenditures of $477,269 for the related
period in 1995.   These expenditures are primarily associated with the opening
of new stores.   During 1966, two Sub & Stuff restaurants have opened and one
Sub & Stuff was relocated.  Subsequent to the period ended October 1, 1996,
the Company opened two Spaghetti Jack's and two Sub & Stuff restaurants and
relocated one Sub & Stuff restaurant to a new site which also offers Spaghetti
Jack's menu items.  During the balance of fiscal 1996, the Company anticipates
opening two to three Company-owned Spaghetti Jack's restaurants and three to
four Company-owned Sub & Stuff sandwich shops.  The amount of the Company's
cash requirements for capital expenditures depends in part on the number of
new restaurants opened and the development costs associated with such
restaurants.

     During the forty week period ended October 1, 1996, the Company had cash
flows from financing activities of $837,530 as compared to cash flows of
$3,033,581 for the same period in 1995.  This decrease in cash flows is
primarily due to the Company needing less long term debt during the period.

     In August 1996, the Company obtained a stand-by financing commitment from
a private entity controlled by W. Frank Barton to provide a line of credit to
the Company up to $750,000 at a rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly.  
Subsequent to period end, the Company accessed this line of credit 
for the full amount.  Upon successful completion of the Offering, the Company 
anticipates that the stock proceeds will be sufficient to repay the line of 
credit and fund its planned expansion and other operating cash requirements 
through the end of fiscal year 1997.
