                      TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT CORP.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

      The unaudited condensed consolidated 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 presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in its 1999 Form
10-K. The results of the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended September 5,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year ending December 26, 2000.

2. Stock Options

      During the twelve week period ended September 5, 2000, the Company
cancelled options for 87,880 shares with a weighted average exercise price of
$4.48 per share pursuant to its 1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option
Plan. The Company also cancelled options which had expired for 20,000 shares of
Common Stock with a weighted average exercise price of $9.00 per share pursuant
to its 1997 Directors Stock Option Plan.

3. Earnings Per Share

      Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. The number of weighted averaged
shares outstanding for the twelve week periods ended September 5, 2000 and
September 7, 1999 were 9,303,643 and 10,415,000, respectively; the number of
weighted averaged shares outstanding for the thirty-six week periods ended
September 5, 2000 and September 7, 1999 were 9,450,164 and 10,415,000,
respectively.

      For purposes of diluted computations, the number of shares that would be
issued from the exercise of stock options has been reduced by the number of
shares which could have been purchased from the proceeds at the average market
price of the Company's stock or the price of the Company's stock on the exercise
date if options were exercised during the period presented. The number of shares
resulting from this computation of diluted earnings per share for the twelve
weeks ended September 5, 2000 and September 7, 1999 were 9,311,181 and
10,415,202, and for the thirty-six week periods ended September 5, 2000 and
September 7, 1999 were 9,453,544 and 10,457,910, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Anaysis 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-Q.

      As of September 5, 2000, the Company owned and operated 35 entertainment
and restaurant locations under the Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille ("Fox and
Hound"), Bailey's Sports Grille and Bailey's Pub & Grille ("Bailey's") brand
names. The Company's entertainment restaurant locations combine a comfortable
and inviting social gathering place, full menu and full-service bar,
state-of-the-art audio and video systems for sports and music entertainment,
traditional games of skill such as pocket billiards and a late-night dining
alternative, all in a single location. As of September 5, 2000, the Company
owned and operated 23 Fox and Hounds and 12 Bailey's located in Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Texas. As of September 7, 1999, the Company owned and operated 24 Fox and Hounds
and 12 Bailey's.

      The components of the Company's net sales are food and non-alcoholic
beverages, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other. For the thirty-six
weeks ended September 5, 2000, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 32.5% of
total sales, alcoholic beverages were 57.4% of total sales and entertainment and
other were 10.1% of total sales. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 7,
1999, food and non-alcoholic beverages were 35.5% of total sales, alcoholic
beverages were 54.3% of total sales and entertainment and other were 10.2% of
total sales.

      Components of restaurant operating expenses include operating payroll and
fringe benefits, occupancy, advertising and promotion. These costs are generally
variable and will fluctuate with changes in sales volume and sales mix. All but
one of the Company's locations are leased and provide for a minimum annual rent,
with some leases calling for additional rent based on sales volume at the
particular location of specified minimum levels.

      General and administrative expenses include all corporate and
administrative functions that support existing operations and provide an
infrastructure to support future growth. Management, supervisory and staff
salaries, employee benefits, travel, information systems, training, rent and
office supplies as well as accounting services fees are major items of costs in
this category.

(1)   The Company operates on a fifty-two or fifty-three week fiscal year ending
      the last Tuesday in December. The fiscal quarters for the Company consist
      of accounting periods of twelve, twelve, twelve and sixteen or seventeen
      weeks, respectively.

(2)   Annualized average weekly sales per location are computed by dividing net
      sales for full weeks open during the period by the number of full weeks
      open and multiplying the result by fifty-two.

Twelve Weeks Ended September 5, 2000 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended September 7,
1999

      Net sales decreased $158,000 (1.4%) for the twelve weeks ended September
5, 2000 to $11,283,000 from $11,441,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 7,
1999, which is due to the closing of one unit since September 7, 1999. Same
store sales for units open more than 18 months increased 1.0% in the twelve
weeks ended September 5, 2000 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 7,
1999.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, decreased $181,000 (5.8%)
for the twelve weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $2,953,000 from $3,134,000 in
the twelve weeks ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of sales
to 26.2% from 27.4%. This decrease as a percentage of sales is principally
attributable to improved controls at the restaurant level.

      Restaurant operating expenses decreased $207,000 (3.2%) for the twelve
weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $6,290,000 from $6,497,000 in the twelve weeks
ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 55.8%
from 56.8%. This decrease is attributable to the impact of a one-time charge for
a state sales tax assessment incurred during the third quarter of 1999 (2.5%),
offset by higher other operating expenses (1.6%), including higher maintenance
costs and higher live music costs.

      Depreciation and amortization decreased $37,000 (4.3%) for the twelve
weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $826,000 from $863,000 in the twelve weeks
ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 7.3% from
7.5%. This net decrease is due principally to the depreciation incurred during
1999 on one unit which was closed in the fourth quarter of 1999.

      General and administrative expenses decreased $101,000 (10.6%) for the
twelve weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $851,000 from $952,000 in the twelve
weeks ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 7.5%
from 8.3%. This decrease is attributable primarily to lower professional fees.

      Interest expense was $250,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 5, 2000
and $346,000 for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 1999. This decrease is due
principally to the interest on the sales tax assessment during the third quarter
of 1999 of $83,000. This decrease also reflects a lower average balance on the
revolving note payable during the current year compared with the prior year,
offset by a higher interest rate applicable to the revolving note payable in the
current year compared with the prior year.

      The effective income tax rate for the twelve weeks ended September 5, 2000
and for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 1999 was 37.0%.

Thirty-six Weeks Ended September 5, 2000 Compared to Thirty-six Weeks Ended
September 7, 1999

      Net sales decreased $1,682,000 (4.4%) for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 5, 2000 to $36,939,000 from $38,621,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 7, 1999, which is due to lower average unit volumes for units open
less than 18 months and the closing of one unit since September 7, 1999. Same
store sales for units open more than 18 months increased 1.6% in the thirty-six
weeks ended September 5, 2000 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September
7, 1999.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, decreased $988,000 (9.3%)
for the thirty-six weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $9,656,000 from $10,644,000
in the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage
of sales to 26.1% from 27.6%. This decrease as a percentage of sales is
principally attributable to improved controls at the restaurant level.

      Restaurant operating expenses decreased $1,409,000 (6.9%) for the
thirty-six weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $19,073,000 from $20,482,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of net
sales to 51.6% from 53.0%. This decrease is attributable to lower labor costs
(1.2%) resulting from improved controls at the restaurant level, lower
preopening expenses (1.2%) and the impact of a one-time charge for a state sales
tax assessment incurred during the third quarter of 1999 (0.7%), offset by
higher occupancy costs (0.5%) and other operating expenses (1.6%) including
higher maintenance costs, higher live music and premium television costs and
higher costs associated with recruiting and training new managers.

      Depreciation and amortization decreased $32,000 (1.3%) for the thirty-six
weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $2,489,000 from $2,521,000 in the thirty-six
weeks ended September 7, 1999, and increased as a percentage of sales to 6.7%
from 6.5%. This increase is due to the depreciation of five units opened during
the first quarter of 1999, offset by depreciation incurred in 1999 on two units
closed during the second half of 1999.

      General and administrative expenses decreased $136,000 (4.8%) for the
thirty-six weeks ended September 5, 2000 to $2,713,000 from $2,848,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of sales
to 7.3% from 7.4%. Through February 28, 1999, certain accounting and
administrative services were contracted from Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc.
("Lone Star"), a restaurant company, of which the Company's former Chairman of
the Board, Jamie B. Coulter is Chairman and CEO. The service agreement provided
for specified accounting and administrative services to be provided on a cost
pass-through basis. Through February 28, 1999, the fixed annual charge was
$194,500, plus an additional fee of $466 per restaurant per 28-day accounting
period. Beginning March 1, 1999, these services were provided by Franchise
Services Company ("FSC") at a market rate.

      Interest expense decreased $76,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 5, 2000 to $742,000. This decrease is due principally to the interest
on the sales tax assessment during the third quarter of 1999 of $83,000. This
decrease also reflects a lower average balance on the revolving note payable
during the current year compared with the prior year, offset by a higher
interest rate applicable to the revolving note payable in the current year
compared with the prior year.

      The effective income tax rate for the thirty-six weeks ended September 5,
2000 and for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 1999 was 37.0%.

Quarterly Fluctuations, Seasonality and Inflation

      As a result of the revenues associated with each new location, the timing
of new unit openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly
results. The Company expects seasonality to be a factor in the operation or
results of its business in the future due to expected lower second and third
quarter revenues due to the summer season. The primary inflationary factors
affecting the Company's operations include food, liquor and labor costs. The
Company believes low inflation rates in its market areas have contributed to
stable food and labor costs in recent years. However, there is no assurance that
low inflation rates will continue or that the Federal minimum wage rate will not
increase. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      On September 1, 1998 the Company entered into a loan agreement with
Intrust Bank, N.A. (the "Facility") which provides for a line of credit of
$20,000,000 subject to certain limitations based on earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization of the past fifty-two weeks. The Facility
requires monthly payments of interest only until November 1, 2001, at which time
equal monthly installments of principal and interest are required as necessary
to fully amortize the outstanding indebtedness plus future interest over a
period of four years. Interest is accrued at 1/2% below the prime rate as
published in The Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the Facility are being used
for restaurant development and stock repurchases.

      Cash flows from operations were $4,017,000, purchases of property and
equipment were $716,466, and net payments of the revolving note payable to bank
was $2,390,000 for the thirty-six week period ending September 5, 2000.

      On September 28, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in
the Company's stock repurchase program for up to an additional 500,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. This approval supplemented the Board's
authorizations on February 29, 2000 and October 5, 1999 to purchase 1,500,000
shares of stock. As of October 12, 2000, the Company had spent $2,249,000 to
repurchase 1,242,429 shares of common stock.

      At September 5, 2000, the Company had $2,589,000 in cash and cash
equivalents. The Company intends to open up to three new locations in 2000. Five
leases have been executed and six units are currently under non-binding letters
of intent to lease with pending contingencies. The Company is currently
evaluating locations in markets familiar to its management team. However, the
number of locations actually opened and the timing thereof may vary depending
upon the ability of the Company to locate suitable sites and negotiate favorable
leases. The Company expects to expend approximately $10.0 to $13.0 million to
open new locations over the next twelve months.

      The Company believes the funds available from the Facility and its cash
flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can
be no assurance, however, that changes in the Company's operating plans, the
acceleration or modification of the Company's expansion plans, lower than
anticipated revenues, increased expenses, stock repurchases, potential
acquisitions or other events will not cause the Company to seek additional
financing sooner than anticipated, prevent the Company from achieving the goals
of its expansion strategy or prevent any newly opened locations from operating
profitably. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
