              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 30, 1996

(1)      PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY:

         On November 4, 1985, Flanigan's  Enterprises,  Inc.  (Flanigan's),  not
including  any of its  subsidiaries,  filed a  voluntary  petition in the United
States  Bankruptcy  Court  for the  Southern  District  of  Florida  seeking  to
reorganize  under  Chapter 11 of the Federal  Bankruptcy  Code.  In fiscal 1986,
Flanigan's  recorded  damages of $4,278,000 for claims for losses as a result of
rejected  leases.  Because the damage  payments were to be made over nine years,
the  total  amount  due was  discounted  at a rate  of  9.25%,  Flanigan's  then
effective borrowing rate. During fiscal 1991 and 1992,  Flanigan's  renegotiated
the payment of this  obligation to extend through fiscal 2002 which  effectively
reduced the discount rate to 3.71%. Certain other bankruptcy-related liabilities
including excise and property taxes,  settlements and past rents,  were fixed as
to amount and repayment terms in Flanigan's Plan of  Reorganization,  as amended
and modified  (Plan).  On May 5, 1987,  the Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court and on December  28,  1987,  Flanigan's  was  officially  discharged  from
bankruptcy.  All  liabilities  under  the Plan have been  properly  accrued  and
classified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


(2)      ADJUSTMENTS:

         The financial information presented as of any date other than September
30, 1995 has been prepared from the books and records  without audit.  Financial
information as of September 30, 1995 has been derived from the audited financial
statements  of the  Company,  but does not include all  disclosures  required by
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments,  necessary for a
fair  presentation of the financial  information for the periods  indicated have
been  included.  For further  information  regarding  the  Company's  accounting
policies,  refer to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and related  notes
included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended
September 30, 1995.

(3)      Reclassification

         Certain  amounts  in the fiscal  1995  financial  statements  have been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1996 presentation.

(4)      FRANCHISE PROGRAM:

At September 30, 1995,  nine units were  operated  under  Franchise  Agreements,
while at March 30, 1995,  eight units were operated under Franchise  Agreements.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, one franchisee exercised the thirty day
cancellation clause under the original Franchise Agreement and related documents
and returned its franchised  unit to the Company.  The franchisee had operated a
package  liquor  store  and  lounge  under  the "Big  Daddy's"  servicemark.  In
addition,  during the same fiscal quarter, one additional franchisee agreed to a
termination of its Franchise Agreement and while its restaurant did not formerly
operate under the "Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill" servicemark, the franchisee
agreed  to  de-identify  the  same to avoid  any  confusion  with the  Company's
restaurants.  This franchisee  will continue  operating its package liquor store
<PAGE>
under a new Franchise Agreement with the Company which includes a license to use
the servicemark  "Big Daddy's Liquors" only. This franchisee still has the right
to  terminate  the new  Franchise  Agreement  and  return the  franchised  unit,
including  restaurant,  to the Company upon thirty days advance  written notice.
Similarly, after January 1, 1997, the Company has the right to terminate the new
Franchise Agreement and request that the franchised unit, including  restaurant,
be returned to the Company.

At  September  30, 1995 there were four  franchised  units  operating  under the
Company's original Franchise Agreement, while at March 30, 1996, there were only
two franchised units operating under the original Franchise Agreement. While the
original Franchise Agreement was prepared for the operation of a lounge, the new
Franchise Agreement,  which was drafted jointly with existing  franchisees,  was
prepared for the  operation  of a  restaurant  and provides the Company with the
ability to maintain a high level of food  quality and service at its  franchised
restaurants.  Under either  Franchise  Agreement,  the Company agrees to provide
guidance,  advice and management assistance to the franchisee.  The Company also
agrees  to  sponsor  and  manage  cooperative  buying  groups  on  behalf of the
franchisees  for  the  purchase  of  inventory.  Under  the  original  Franchise
Agreement, the Company received fees of 2-1/2% to 3% of gross sales, while under
the new Franchise Agreement,  the Company receives fees of 4-1/2% to 6% of gross
sales,  including  contributions to advertising.  Of the eight franchised units,
five are owned or operated by related parties.

(5)      INCOME TAXES:

         Financial  Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes,  requires  among other things,  recognition of future tax benefits
measured at enacted  rates  attributable  to  deductible  temporary  differences
between  financial  statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and
to tax net operating loss  carryforwards  to the extent that realization of said
benefits is more likely than not.

(6)      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         Guarantees

         The  Company  has  guaranteed   approximately  $150,000  of  notes  and
mortgages to lenders in connection with sales of stores to outside  parties.  In
addition, the Company is contingently liable for annual rentals in the amount of
approximately   $777,000  at  September  30,  1995,  for  lease  obligations  in
connection with the assignment of leases on stores sold. In the event of default
under any of these agreements,  the Company will have the right to repossess the
premises.

         During fiscal 1993 and 1994,  the Company paid the 1991,  1992 and 1993
real property  taxes,  in the aggregate  amount of $40,242,  as guarantor of the
sublease for a store sold in 1990.  During fiscal 1994,  the Company also paid a
non-related  third party the sum of $14,991 as  reimbursement  of real  property
taxes  erroneously paid on a second folio number for the real property taxes for
the same  store for 1990  through  1992.  The  payment of the 1991 and 1992 real
property taxes were evidenced by two promissory  notes, one for each year, which
each provide that the entire principal balance and accrued interest,  calculated
at the rate of nine  percent per annum,  will be due in full on January 1, 2010,
which is the date the  sublease  expires;  a  default  under the  sublease  is a
default under the  promissory  note,  entitling  the Company to  accelerate  the
entire principal balance and all accrued interest; and if the assignee meets all
obligations of the sublease through its expiration date,  (January 1, 2010) then
each  promissory  note will be forgiven.  The  Company's  reimbursement  of real
property taxes  erroneously  paid by a non-related  third party  ($14,991),  was
<PAGE>
secured by a mortgage  on real  property  owned by an  affiliated  entity of the
assignee,  which  mortgage  was paid in full during the first  quarter of fiscal
1996. The Company agreed to review  financial  records of the assignee each year
to see if the  profitability  thereof  warranted  the  Company  paying  the real
property taxes to subsidize the same.

         During fiscal year 1995 the Company  learned that the assignee was five
months in arrears in the  payment of rent to the  sublessors  ($35,527)  and had
failed to pay the annual  ground rent which was due  January 1, 1995  ($19,400),
notwithstanding promises that all rental payments would be current by January 1,
1995.

         The Company  demanded  payment of all  arrearages  or the return of the
store. While negotiating the return of the store, the assignee closed the liquor
package store and removed all inventory. The Company filed suit for eviction and
was granted immediate  possession of the business premises including  furniture,
fixtures,  equipment and liquor license,  to reopen and preserve the business of
the liquor package store. As the result of the default of the sublease,  the two
promissory  notes given the  Company for paying the 1991 and 1992 real  property
taxes for this store are immediately  due in full.  During fiscal year 1995, the
Company  paid the annual  ground  rent  which was due  January 1, 1995 and began
making monthly payments to the sublessors  commencing  February 1, 1995.  During
fiscal year 1995,  the Company also began paying an additional  one half month's
rent to the sublessors  along with current monthly rent on account of the rental
arrearages.  The  Company  continues  to operate  the liquor  package  store and
anticipates  doing so throughout the litigation  and after  acquiring  ownership
thereof through the  litigation.  The obligations of the assignee are secured by
the personal  guarantee of a principal of the assignee and cross  collateralized
with the assets of an entity  affiliated  with the assignee,  which is discussed
below.

         In addition to the above store,  during  fiscal year 1994,  the Company
paid the 1991 and 1992 real property  taxes in the aggregate  amount of $13,987,
as guarantor of the lease of another  store sold in prior years.  During  fiscal
year 1994,  the rental  payments for this store  decreased to a point where they
did not  even  equal  the  current  rent  and the  Company  instituted  eviction
proceedings.  The Company,  through a wholly  owned  subsidiary,  was  appointed
receiver of the assignee's business.  During fiscal year 1995, the Court entered
a Final Judgment in favor of the Company foreclosing the statutory landlord lien
subrogated to the Company.  The Company acquired  ownership of the assets of the
assignee at the foreclosure  sale,  including the liquor license.  The Company's
guarantee of the lease for this store  expires on August 10,  1997.  The Company
tried to operate this store as a restaurant under its "Flanigan's Cafe" concept,
but it was not possible to operate it up to the same  standards of the Company's
other  restaurants,  so the unit was closed  subsequent to the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.  Efforts are currently  being made to co-ordinate a sale
of the real property and improvements for the landlord, along with the Company's
liquor license.

         During fiscal year 1995,  the Company paid the monthly rent due June 1,
1995 through September 30, 1995, as guarantor of the lease of another store sold
in prior  years.  The assignee of the  business  vacated the  business  premises
during the fiscal  year and the  landlord  actively  sought a new tenant but was
unable to find a new tenant  prior to  September  30,  1995,  the date the lease
expired.  The  obligations  of the  assignee  are  secured  by the assets of the
assignee,  the  personal  guarantee  of a principal  of the  assignee  and cross
collateralized with the assets of an entity affiliated with the assignee,  which
is discussed  above.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company filed
suit  against the assignee to recoup funds paid as guarantor of the lease and to
foreclose its security interest in the assets of the assignee.
<PAGE>
                  During  fiscal  year 1995,  a lawsuit  was filed  against  the
Company  alleging  age  discrimination  in its  hiring of  restaurant  assistant
managers  during fiscal year 1994.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company,  without admitting any wrongdoing,  settled the claim on terms which do
not have a materially adverse impact upon the Company's financial position.

         Subsequent  to the end of fiscal  year  1995,  two  claims  were  filed
against the Company with the Equal Employment  Opportunity  Commission  alleging
sexual  discrimination.  In the first claim, a former employee  alleges that the
Company permitted sexual harassment to continue at one of its restaurants, while
in the second  claim,  a former  employee  alleges  that her  position  with the
Company was terminated due to her pregnancy.  The Company, after learning of the
first complaint,  transferred the employee to another store in the same capacity
of assistant manager, but after about one month, the employee quit and continues
to pursue her claim. The second claimant was offered and accepted reinstatement.
While the second  claimant  continues  to work,  this does not preclude her from
pursuing  her claim for  damages  for the period  that she was  unemployed.  The
Company disputes both claims and is vigorously defending the same.

         Employment Agreement

         On June 3, 1987, the Company entered into an employment  agreement with
the  Chairman  of the  Board,  which was  ratified  by the  stockholders  at the
Company's 1988 Annual Meeting.  The agreement provides,  among other things, for
annual  compensation of $150,000 through December 31, 1996,  renewable annually,
as well as a bonus based on the Company's cash flow, as defined.  For the fiscal
years ended 1994 and 1995 no bonus was earned under the agreement. The agreement
further  provides  that in the event of  termination,  the Chairman of the Board
would be entitled to a maximum payment of $450,000.

         The  agreement  also  provided  for the  issuance  of stock  options to
purchase up to 93,092 shares of the Company's  stock.  On December 12, 1989, the
Chairman's  option  exercise prices were reduced from a range of $4.00 to $4.125
to $.875,  110% of the then fair market value of the Company's  common stock. At
September  30,  1995,  options to purchase  93,092  shares of common stock at an
exercise  price of $.875 per share were  outstanding,  which would have  expired
December 31, 1995.  During the first  quarter of fiscal year 1996,  the Chairman
exercised all of his stock  options  under the  agreement  and purchased  93,092
shares of the Company's common stock.

         During  fiscal  1992,  options to  purchase  up to 46,540  shares  were
granted at an exercise price of $2.25 per share which expire  February 27, 1997.
Exercise  prices  at the dates of grant  equaled  the fair  market  value of the
Company's  common stock,  therefore no related  compensation  was  recorded.  By
written  resolution,  dated January 12, 1994, the Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the stock option, increasing the option exercise price to $6.50 per
share,  which  reflects in excess of 110% of the then fair  market  value of the
Company's  common  stock.  The  expiration  date of the  stock  option  was also
extended through February 27, 2002. This action was approved by the stockholders
at the Company's 1994 Annual Meeting.

         The Company  currently  provides no post retirement  benefits to any of
its employees.

         Key Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan

         In  December  1993,  the Board of  Directors  approved  a Key  Employee
Incentive  Stock Option Plan,  which  reserved  and  authorized  the issuance of
100,000 shares of the Company's common stock to eligible employees.
<PAGE>
         During  fiscal 1994,  52,000 stock  options were granted at an exercise
price of $3.50 per share which expire April 19, 1999.  During the first  quarter
of fiscal year 1996,  an  additional  30,000  stock  options  were granted at an
exercise  price of $3.25 per share which expire  December  21, 2000.  During the
second  quarter of fiscal  1996,  18,000 more stock  options  were granted at an
exercise price of $4.375 per share which expire March 13, 2001.  Exercise prices
at the date of grant  exceeded  the fair market  value of the  Company's  common
stock;  therefore, no related compensation expense was recorded. No options were
exercised during fiscal 1994, 1995 or 1996.

         Litigation

         The Company is a party to various  litigation matters incidental to its
business. Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of
business have been filed or are pending against the Company.

         Certain  states  have  "liquor  liability"  laws  which  allow a person
injured by an  "intoxicated  person" to bring a civil suit  against the business
(or social host) who had served  intoxicating  liquors to an already  "obviously
intoxicated  person",  known as "dram shop"  claims.  The  Company is  generally
self-insured  for  liability  claims,  with major  losses  partially  covered by
third-party insurance carriers. The extent of this coverage varies by year.

         During the second quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company  settled the
two dram shop cases filed  against  the Company in Florida in fiscal  years 1994
and 1995,  respectively,  arising  out of an  automobile  accident  in which two
individuals died and a third was seriously injured.  The settlement of these two
cases was within the Company's  insurance  coverage and therefore had no adverse
material impact upon the Company's  financial  position.  With the settlement of
these two dram shop  cases,  the  Company  continues  to  defend  one  remaining
uninsured dram shop case against one of the limited partnerships in Pennsylvania
and the Company as general partner. See Note 6 in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995,

         The  Company  has  accrued  for  potential  uninsured  losses  based on
estimates  received  from legal  counsel  and its  historical  experience.  Such
accrual is included in the "Accrued and other liabilities - potential  uninsured
claims". See Note 6 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995,
<PAGE>
Item 7.           Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                  Results of Operations.

         At April 1, 1995,  the Company was operating 15 units and had interests
in an additional eight units which had been franchised by the Company. At fiscal
yearend  1995,  the  Company  was  operating  15 units and had  interests  in an
additional nine units which had been franchised by the Company.

         During the first  quarter of fiscal 1996 one  franchisee  exercised the
thirty day  cancellation  clause under the Franchise  Agreement and returned its
franchised  unit to the  Company,  which  the  Company  is  operating  as a "Big
Daddy's"  package store. The Company also began operating a restaurant under the
"Flanigan's  Seafood  Bar and Grill"  servicemark  as general  partner and fifty
percent owner of a limited partnership established for such purpose.

         During the second  quarter of fiscal  year 1996,  the lease on one unit
operated by the Company as a lounge only,  expired and the Company was unable to
renew  same.  Also during the second  quarter  the  Company  closed its last two
lounges at  combination  package and lounge units,  but continues to operate the
package stores. Bar business,  without an accompanying restaurant,  continues to
decline to the point of being  unprofitable.  The Company  can not foresee  this
trend   reversing  and  the  two  units  are  not  suitable  for  conversion  to
restaurants.  This brings the total number of stores  operated by the Company at
March 30, 1996 to 16 with an interest in eight franchised units.

         Adjustments  to net income to  reconcile  to cash flows from  operating

of $101,000 in deferred gain.

         Improvements

         The Company had  additions to fixed  assets of $122,000  during the six
months  ended March 30, 1996  compared to $118,000 for the same period last year
and $348,000 for the year ended  September 30, 1995 The  additions  were for the
continuation of the program to refurbish lounges, upgrade existing units serving
food,  improvements to package stores,  upgrading the corporate  computer system
and other improvements. Except as otherwise noted all of the funds for additions
came from operations.

         During the fiscal  year 1995,  the  Company  became the owner,  through
foreclosure,  of a lounge previously sold by the Company,  which lounge had been
operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a receiver  appointed by
the Court since fiscal year 1994.  The Company  tried to operate this store as a
restaurant under its "Flanigan's Cafe" concept, but since it was not possible to
operate it up to the same standards of the Company's other restaurants, the unit
was closed  subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Efforts
are  currently  being  made to  co-ordinate  a sale  of the  real  property  and
improvements for the landlord, along with the Company's liquor license.

         All of the Company's  units require  periodic  refurbishing in order to
remain  competitive.  During  fiscal 1992,  as cash flow  improved,  the Company
embarked upon a refurbishing  program which  continued  through fiscal 1995. The
budget for fiscal 1996 includes $300,000 for this program.  The Company believes
that  improved  operations  will provide the cash to continue  the  refurbishing
program.

         As noted in Note 1 to the consolidated  statements above, during fiscal
1991 and 1992,  the Company  extended  the payment  schedule  under the Plan for
damages as a result of rejected leases through fiscal 2002 thereby  reducing the
payments  from $500,000 per year to $200,000 per year for two years (fiscal 1991
and 1992),  and thereafter to $300,000 per year until paid, but without reducing
the total amount of bankruptcy damages.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

         As noted above and in Note 1 to the consolidated  financial statements,
on November 4, 1985,  Flanigan's  Enterprises,  Inc.,  not  including any of its
subsidiaries,  filed a voluntary  petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern  District of Florida seeking to reorganize  under Chapter 11 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The primary purposes of the petition were to reject
leases  which were  significantly  above  market  rates and to reject  leases on
closed units which had been  repossessed  by or returned to the Company.  During
the  bankruptcy  proceedings,  the Company  terminated or rejected 34 leases and
renegotiated  many of its  remaining  leases.  As a result of the  rejection  of
leases,  the Company agreed to bankruptcy damages of $4,278,000 to the landlords
of such rejected  leases,  payable  pursuant to the Company's Plan. The Plan was
approved by the  Bankruptcy  Court on May 5, 1987 and the Company was officially
discharged from bankruptcy on December 28, 1987. See Item 3 and Item 7 of Part I
of the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  September 30,
1995 for further discussion of the Company's bankruptcy proceedings.  See Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended September 30, 1995 for the current payment schedule of bankruptcy
damages.

</TABLE>

         As the table above  illustrates,  total revenues have increased for the
quarter and the twenty-six  weeks ended March 30, 1996 when compared to the same
periods in fiscal year 1995.

         The increases are primarily in restaurant food sales, package sales and
franchise related revenue.
<PAGE>
         Restaurant food sales represented 51.2% and 49.4% of total sales in the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended April 1, 1995 as compared to 49.4% and 47.7%
in the  comparable  periods of fiscal 1996.  The decrease in  percentage of food
sales to total sales is a result of the  increase in the  percentage  of package
goods sales. The weekly average of same store restaurant food sales was $161,515
and  $167,170  for the  twenty-six  week  period of fiscal  years  1995 and 1996
respectively, an increase of 3.5 percent.

         The same store weekly  average for restaurant bar sales was $77,144 for
the  twenty-six  week  period of fiscal  1995  compared  to $77,670 for the same
period of the current fiscal year, showing little change.

         Package goods sales have reversed the decline of prior years going from
a weekly  average of same store sales of $106,181  for the  twenty-six  weeks of
fiscal 1995 to $115,642 for the twenty-six  weeks of fiscal 1996, an increase of
8.9 percent.  The  improvement  in package  goods sales is  attributed  to three
factors.  The Company has improved its wine  selection and made its pricing more
competitive, while the decline in the liquor market appears to have stabilized.

         Franchise related revenues show a thirty-three percent increase for the
twenty-six  week  period of fiscal 1996 as compared to the same period of fiscal
1995.  This  increase is a result of the new royalty  fees that were  introduced
with the new franchise  agreement that was discussed in the second  paragraph on
page eleven.

         The gross profit margin for  restaurant and lounge sales remained level
at 62.6%  and 62.7% for the  first  six  months  of fiscal  years  1995 and 1996
respectively.

         The gross profit margin for package  goods sales during the  twenty-six
weeks ended April 1, 1995 was 25.4% and  increased  to 26.6% for the  twenty-six
weeks ended March 30, 1996. The increase in gross profit  percentage is a result
of increased  wine sales,  which have a higher  profit  margin,  and of improved
buying strategy.

         Overall gross profits were 52.8% for the six months ended April 1, 1995
compared to 50.7% for the same period in fiscal 1996.  The decrease of 2.1% is a
result of a lower ratio of restaurant sales to total sales.

Operating Costs and Expenses

         All discussion  below of operating  costs,  payroll costs and occupancy
costs for the twenty-six weeks ended March 30, 1996 includes costs from the unit
that the Company received through  foreclosure and the unit that was returned to
the Company by its franchisee.
<PAGE>
         Operating  costs and expenses for the  twenty-six  weeks ended April 1,
1995 were $9,469,000  compared to $10,477,000 for the same period in the current
fiscal year.  Operating  expenses are comprised of the cost of merchandise sold,
payroll  and  related   costs,   occupancy   costs  and  selling,   general  and
administrative expenses.

         Payroll and related costs, which include workers compensation insurance
premiums,  were  $2,561,000  and  $2,895,000  for the first six months of fiscal
years 1995 and 1996 respectively,  an increase of $334,000. Although the Company
experienced an increase in restaurant payroll in general, there were three other
factors involved in the increase in payroll and related costs. The payrolls from
the two  recently  acquired  units  were  responsible  for  some  added  payroll
expense,and  the Company hired an attorney at the beginning of fiscal year 1996,
which  attorney is also a member of the Board of  Directors.  The increase  from
adding the attorney to the payroll will be offset by an equivalent  reduction in
legal expense.

         Occupancy costs,  which include rent, common area maintenance,  repairs
and taxes were  $333,000  and  $493,000 for the first six months of fiscal years
1995 and 1996 respectively,  with the increase of $160,000  primarily  accounted
for because of the addition of the previously  mentioned units and a decrease in
the reduction from capital leases to expense.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $2,046,000 for the
twenty-six  weeks ended April 1, 1995 and $1,989,000  for the  twenty-six  weeks
ended March 30, 1996, a decrease of $57,000  overall.  As discussed  previously,
the  Company has two  additional  units this fiscal year that it did not have in
fiscal year 1995.  The expenses  for these two units add up to $213,000.  If the
total  expenses  for the first six months of fiscal  year 1996 were  adjusted by
these added  expenses,  the  comparison to fiscal year 1995 would  indicate that
management  has been able to  accomplish a net decrease in selling,  general and
administrative expenses, primarily in promotions, utilities and telephone.

Other Income and Expense

         The decline of $10,000 in interest  expense on long-term debt which was
$44,000  and  $34,000  for  the  twenty-six   weeks  of  fiscal  1995  and  1996
respectively,  is attributed to the reduction of long-term  debt. The decline of
$15,000 in  interest  expense on  obligations  under  capital  leases  which was
$46,000 and $31,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1996  respectively
is the result of the expiration of a capital lease late in fiscal year 1995.

         Management fees from the Pennsylvania  limited partnership were $88,000
and  $68,000  for the six  months  ended  April  1,  1995  and  March  30,  1996
respectively.   A  reduction  in  revenues  caused  by  the  severe  weather  in
Pennsylvania is responsible for this decline.

         Other net was  $36,000  for the  twenty-six  weeks of  fiscal  1995 and
$68,000 for the twenty-six  weeks of fiscal year 1996.  The increase  includes a
prior period adjustment of $20,000 and $10,000 of income from a settlement.

Trends

         During the next twelve months management  expects a continued  increase
in restaurant food and beverage sales and anticipates  that expenses will remain
constant, thereby increasing overall profits.
