                 FLANIGAN'S ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 27, 1997

(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
27, 1997 has been prepared from the books and records  without audit.  Financial
information as of September 27, 1997 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 27, 1997.

(3)      Reclassification

         Certain  amounts  in the fiscal  1997  financial  statements  have been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1998 presentation.

(4)      Franchise Program

         During  fiscal  year 1995,  the  Company  completed  its new  franchise
agreement for a franchisee to operate a restaurant under the "Flanigan's Seafood
Bar and Grill"  service mark  pursuant to a license  from the  Company.  The new
franchise  agreement  was drafted  jointly with  existing  franchisees  with all
modifications  requested  by  the  franchisees  incorporated  therein.  The  new
franchise  agreement  provides  the Company  with the ability to maintain a high
level of food  quality  and  service at its  franchised  restaurants,  which are
essential  to a successful  franchise  operation.  A  franchisee  is required to
execute a new  franchise  agreement for the balance of the term of its lease for
the business premises,  extended by the franchisee's  continued occupancy of the
<PAGE>
business premises thereafter,  whether by lease or ownership.  The new franchise
agreement  provides for a royalty to the Company in the amount of  approximately
3% of gross sales, plus a contribution to advertising in an amount between 1-1/2
to 3% of gross sales. In most cases,  the Company does not sublease the business
premises to the  franchisee  and in those  cases  where it does,  the Company no
longer receives rent in excess of the amount paid by the Company.

         As of the end of fiscal year 1996, all existing franchisees who operate
restaurants  under the  "Flanigan's  Seafood Bar and Grill" or other  authorized
service marks had executed new franchise agreements.

         During  fiscal year 1996,  the  Company's  franchise  agreement  with a
member of Mr.  Flanigan's  family expired and the Company  declined to offer the
franchisee the option of executing its new franchise agreement. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997,  the Company filed suit against the  franchisee for
servicemark infringement, seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. During
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998 a  Stipulated  Agreed  Order of Dismissal
Upon Mediation was issued whereby the Company  received  $110,000 and the former
franchisee  agreed to cease all use of the  "Flanigan's"  servicemark  and other
trade dress features common to the Company owned and/or franchised restaurants.

         During the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company  entered into
a Licensing  Agreement  with a member of Mr.  Flanigan's  family,  licensing the
non-exclusive  use of  the  "Flanigan's'  servicemark  in  the  Commonwealth  of
Pennsylvania  only.  The Company  receives no royalty fee or other  compensation
under this  Licensing  Agreement.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 1997,
the Company also entered into a Franchise Agreement with an unrelated franchisee
in the  Commonwealth of  Pennsylvania,  which Franchise  Agreement  includes the
non-exclusive use of the "Flanigan's"  servicemark at one franchised  restaurant
within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania  only.  Under this Franchise  Agreement,
the Company  receives a royalty fee equal to one percent of gross sales from the
franchised restaurant, payable on a monthly basis.

         During the third  quarter of fiscal  year  1996,  another  unaffiliated
franchisee  expressed  its  intent  to  terminate  its new  franchise  agreement
(package liquor store only) and to return its unit, including restaurant, to the
Company.  In order to induce the franchisee to continue  operating its franchise
through  the end of the fiscal  year,  the  Company  agreed to reduce the weekly
sublease rent and suspend all weekly  payments on account of its purchase  money
chattel mortgage. In the interim, the Company determined that the cost necessary
to convert this unit to a "Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill" restaurant exceeded
the funds  available to the Company and on September 30, 1996,  during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997, the franchise was sold to a related third party, in
lieu of its return to the  Company.  The  initial  shareholder  interest  of all
officers and  directors,  which was comprised of the Chairman and a member of is
family,  represented one hundred percent of the initial invested capital. It was
also agreed that the Company  would manage the  franchise  for the related third
party, pursuant to a management agreement. Subsequent to the closing of the sale
of the franchise,  another related franchisee, who is also a member of the Board
of Directors of the Company, paid the Company the sum of $150,000 to approve his
purchase of this  franchise  from the related third party and for the Company to
relinquish  its  right  to act as  manager  of the  franchise.  As  part of this
transaction,  the Company  agreed to continue  the reduced  sublease  rent,  the
waiver of any  franchise  royalties  and the  suspension  of  mortgage  payments
<PAGE>
through March 1997. Since April 1, 1997 the Company has received the same weekly
payment as  previously  paid by the former  franchisee  during fiscal year 1996.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 1997 this related party formed a limited
partnership  to own this  franchise  and through  which it raised the  necessary
funds to renovate the restaurant.  The Company is a twenty-five percent owner of
the limited partnership, as are other related parties, including but not limited
to officers and directors of the Company and their families.

         The units that continue to be franchised are doing well and continue to
generate income for the Company.  Many of the units that were originally offered
as  franchises  have been sold  outright  and are no longer  being  operated  as
Flanigan's or Big Daddy's stores.

         During  the first  quarter  of fiscal  year  1996,  the  Company  began
operating a restaurant under the "Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill" service mark
as general partner and fifty percent owner of a limited partnership  established
for  such  purpose.   The  limited  partnership   agreement  gives  the  limited
partnership the right to use the "Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill" service mark
while the Company  acts as general  partner  only.  No franchise  agreement  was
executed and the Company does not consider this unit one of its franchises.

         During the fourth  quarter of fiscal year 1997,  the  Company  formed a
limited  partnership and raised funds through a private offering to purchase the
assets of a restaurant in Surfside,  Florida and renovate the same for operation
under the "Flanigan's  Seafood Bar and Grill"  servicemark.  The Company acts as
general partner of the limited  partnership and is also a forty percent owner of
the same,  as are other related  parties,  including but not limited to officers
and  directors  of the  Company  and their  families.  The  limited  partnership
agreement gives the limited partnership the right to use the "Flanigan's Seafood
Bar and  Grill"  servicemark  for a fee  equal  to 3% of  gross  sales  from the
operation of the restaurant,  while the Company acts as general partner only. No
franchise agreement was executed and the Company does not consider this unit one
of its  franchises.  The Company  projects that the renovation to the restaurant
will be complete and the restaurant open for business in mid March 1998.

(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 is contingently  liable for annual rentals in the amount of
approximately   $556,000  at  September  27,  1997,  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.
<PAGE>
         During fiscal year 1996, two claims were filed against the Company with
the Equal Employment  Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") alleging sexual harassment
and/or  discrimination.  In the first claim, a former employee initially alleged
that  the  Company  permitted  sexual  harassment  to  continue  at  one  of its
restaurants.  After the former employee was  transferred to another  restaurant,
she resigned, and thereafter amended her complaint to allege that she was forced
to resign  due to  retaliatory  conduct on the part of the  Company.  During the
first  quarter of fiscal year 1997,  the EEOC  closed its files on these  claims
taking no action.  From the date the EEOC closed its file,  the former  employee
had  ninety  days to  file  suit in  Federal  Court,  which  she  failed  to do.
Similarly,  an action  under  Florida  law is barred  by a one year  statute  of
limitations.

         In the second claim, a former  employee  alleged that her position with
the Company was changed due to her pregnancy.  The Equal Employment  Opportunity
Commission  failed to make a  determination  on this claim  within  one  hundred
eighty  (180) days of its filing and  subsequent  to the end of the fiscal  year
1996,  this claimant filed suit against the Company.  The Company  disputed this
claim and vigorously defended the same. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1997, the former  employee's  attorney  withdrew and during the first quarter of
fiscal  year 1998 the  lawsuit  was  dismissed  due to the failure of the former
employee to retain substitute counsel.

         Employment Agreement

         On June 3, 1987, the Company entered into an employment  agreement (the
"Employment  Agreement")  with the Chairman of the Board,  which was ratified by
the stockholders at the Company's 1988 annual meeting.  The Employment Agreement
provides,  among other things, for annual compensation of $150,000, as well as a
bonus based on the Company's cash flow, as defined.  The Employment Agreement is
renewable  annually and was renewed  through  December 31, 1998. This Employment
Agreement  was  amended in January  1997 to redefine a bonus equal to 15% of the
Company's annual pre-tax income in excess of $650,000 and to grant stock options
(discussed in Note 13), which was ratified by the  stockholders at the Company's
1997  Annual  Meeting.  For  fiscal  year 1996,  no bonus was  earned  under the
Employment Agreement.  For fiscal year 1997, a bonus of $78,000 was earned under
the amended Employment Agreement. The Employment 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 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.

         During  fiscal 1994,  52,000 stock  options were granted at an exercise
price of $3.50 per share which expire April 19, 1999.  During  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, and an additional 18,000 stock options
were  granted at an  exercise  price of $4.38 per share which  expire  March 14,
2001.  Exercise  prices at the date of grant equaled or exceeded the fair market
value of the Company's common stock;  therefore, no related compensation expense
was recorded. No options have been exercised through the first quarter of fiscal
year 1998.
<PAGE>
         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  fiscal  year  1997,  the  Company  settled  its  one  remaining
uninsured dram shop case against one of the limited partnerships in Pennsylvania
and the  Company  as  general  partner,  and  currently  has no dram shop  cases
pending.  for further  discussion see the section headed Insurance on page 12 of
the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  September
27, 1997.

         The Company accrues for potential  uninsured  losses based on estimates
received from legal counsel and its historical experience, when uninsured claims
are pending.  Such accrual is included in the "Accrued and other  liabilities  -
potential  uninsured claims".  See Note 8 in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1997.

Item 7.  Managements Discussion and  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         Flanigan's  Enterprises,  Inc.,  (the  "Company")  owns and/or operates
restaurants with lounges,  package liquor stores and an  entertainment  oriented
club  (collectively  the  "units").  At  September  27,  1997,  the  Company was
operating  14 units.  The Company  acquired  ownership of the assets of the unit
formerly  operated by the Company  pursuant to Court Order, and had interests in
seven  additional  units which have been  franchised  by the Company.  The table
below  sets out the  changes,  if any,  in the type and  number  of units  being

Notes:

         (1)  During  the  first  quarter  of fiscal  year  1996 one  franchisee
terminated  its  franchise  agreement  and returned its  franchised  unit to the
Company. The Company immediately began operating the package liquor store of the
returned franchise unit.

         (2) During  fiscal year 1995,  the Company was granted  possession of a
store  previously  sold by the Company and began  operating  the package  liquor
store, pursuant to Court Order. During the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 the
Company acquired ownership of this store through foreclosure.

         Improvements

         The  Company  had  additions  to fixed  assets of  $303,000  during the
quarter  ended  December 27, 1997 compared to $134,000 for the same quarter last
year and $1,468,000 for the fiscal year ended  September 27, 1997. The additions
were to continue upgrading existing units serving food,  improvements to package
stores,  upgrading the corporate computer system and other improvements.  During
the third quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company closed on its purchase of the
real property  adjacent to its restaurant at 4 N. Federal  Highway,  Hallandale,
for a  purchase  price of  $620,000,  with the seller  holding a purchase  money
mortgage in the amount of $485,000. The purchase of and the improvements to this
property are included in the capital  expenditures  of $1,468,000 for the fiscal
year ended  September 27, 1997.  Except as otherwise  noted all of the funds for
additions came from operations.

         All of the Company's  units require  periodic  refurbishing in order to
remain competitive.  During fiscal year 1992, as cash flow improved, the Company
embarked upon a refurbishing  program which continued  through fiscal year 1997.
The budget for fiscal  1998  includes  $500,000  for this  program.  The Company
believes  that  improved  operations  will  provide  the  cash to  continue  the
refurbishing program.

</TABLE>

         As noted in Note 1 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  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 27,
1997 for further discussion of the Company's bankruptcy proceedings.  See Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended September 27, 1997 for the current payment schedule of bankruptcy
damages.

</TABLE>


         Restaurant  food sales  represented  47.9% of total  sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 46.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The weekly average of same store  restaurant food sales was $172,420 in 1997 and
$179,076 in 1998, an increase of 3.8%.

         The same store weekly average for restaurant bar sales remained  almost
level at $56,228 for the first  quarter of fiscal  1997  compared to $56,497 for
the first quarter of fiscal year 1998.  The Company's  emphasis  during the past
few years has been toward increasing its restaurant food sales,  which caters to
a family oriented business.

         Package goods sales have reversed the decline of prior years going from
a weekly average of same store sales of $136,153 for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 to  $137,558  for the first  quarter of fiscal  1998.  The  improvement  in
package goods sales is attributed to three factors. The Company has improved its
wine selections and made its pricing more competitive,  while the decline in the
liquor market appears to have reached a plateau.
   
         The gross profit margin for restaurant and lounge sales went from 62.7%
to 62.2% for the first  quarter of fiscal  years 1997 and 1998  respectively,  a
decrease of .5%.  This  decrease in gross profit is a result of price  increases
for ribs that were not passed on to the consumer.
    
         The gross  profit  margin  for  package  goods  sales  during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997 was 23.5% compared to 25.2% for the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998. The increase  reflects the higher  percentage of wine sales to
the total package sales. Wine sells at a higher percentage of profit.

         Overall  gross  profits were 48.2% in the first  quarter of fiscal year
1997 compared to 47.8% for the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998.  The decrease
is a result of the increased ratio of package sales to total sales.
<PAGE>
Operating Costs and Expenses

         Operating  costs and expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997
were $4,964,000 compared to $5,245,000 for the same quarter in fiscal year 1998.
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  $1,375,000 and $1,440,000 for the first quarter of fiscal years
1997 and 1998 respectively. The increase of $65,000 resulted from an increase in
package payroll and commissions  related to the increase in package sales,  with
some slight increase in restaurant payroll.

         Occupancy costs,  which include rent, common area maintenance,  repairs
and taxes were  $227,000 and $243,000 for the first quarter of fiscal years 1997
and 1998 respectively,  with the increase accounted for primarily by an increase
in property taxes.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were  $876,000 for the
first  quarter of fiscal year 1997 and $888,000 for the first  quarter of fiscal
year 1998.  Management  has focused on  controlling  expenses  and appears to be
accomplishing its goal despite rising costs.

Other Income and Expense

         In the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company received $150,000
for its right to manage a franchise  location.  Refer to the  discussion of this
transaction on page 11, paragraph 4, for further information.

         During  the  current  quarter  the  Company  received  $110,000  in the
settlement of  litigation.  This  transaction  is further  discussed on page 11,
paragraph 2.

         Interest  expense  on long term debt and  Chapter  11  damages  payable
increased  from  $17,000 in the first  quarter of fiscal year 1997 to $34,000 in
the first  quarter of fiscal  year 1998.  The  increase is  attributable  to the
increased borrowing of long term debt.
   
         Other net was $9,000 for the first  quarter of fiscal year 1997.  Other
net for the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 is $6,000.
    
Trends

         During the next twelve months management  expects to maintain its level
of sales and anticipates that expenses will remain constant.
