</TABLE>

The increase in revenues for the sixteen and forty week periods ended July 3,
1995, as compared with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year, is
primarily the result of an increase in the number of HomeTown Buffet restaurants
and Galaxy Diners which more than offset the decline in revenues resulting from
the decrease in the number of JB's Restaurants, the disposition of the Company's
Sbarro restaurants and the decline in JB's Restaurants same store sales. During
the sixteen week period ended July 3, 1995, the average sales per JB's
Restaurant decreased 1.7% reflecting a decrease in customer counts per unit of
2.3% and an increase in the average customer purchase of 0.6%. Same store sales
for JB's Restaurants (sales from JB's Restaurants open during both

<PAGE>   10

the fiscal 1995 and 1994 period) decreased 3.8% reflecting a decrease in
customer counts of 4.2% while the average customer purchase increased 0.4%.

During the forty week period ended July 3, 1995, the average sales per JB's
Restaurant decreased 0.5% reflecting an increase in the average customer
purchase of 0.8% and a decrease in customer counts per unit of 1.3%. Same store
sales for JB's Restaurants decreased 3.2% reflecting an increase in the average
customer purchase of 0.6% offset by a 3.8% decrease in customer counts per unit.

</TABLE>

FOOD COSTS. The increase in food costs as a percentage of total revenues for the
sixteen and forty week periods ended July 3, 1995, as compared with the
comparable periods of the prior fiscal year, is primarily the result of an
increase in the number of HomeTown Buffet restaurants which operate at a higher
food cost percentage than the Company's JB's Restaurants and higher produce
prices due to the inclement weather in California. 

<PAGE>   11

LABOR COSTS. The increase in labor costs as a percentage of total revenues in
the forty week period ended July 3, 1995, is primarily due to costs incurred in
training and increased scheduling designed to improve customer service in the
JB's Restaurants along with a decline in same store sales.

OCCUPANCY & OTHER EXPENSES. The decrease in occupancy and other expenses as a
percentage of total revenues for the sixteen week period ended July 3, 1995, as
compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily due
to a $236,000 gain on the sale of the Company's combined office/warehouse
property partially offset by increased amortization of preopening costs
($44,000) resulting from the additional HomeTown Buffet openings and Galaxy
Diner conversions, increased royalty fees ($34,000) associated with the
additional HomeTown Buffet restaurants in operation along with the decline in
JB's Restaurants same store sales. The increase in occupancy and other expenses
as a percentage of total revenues for the forty week period ended July 3, 1995,
is primarily due to increased amortization of preopening costs ($225,000)
resulting from the additional HomeTown Buffet openings and Galaxy Diner
conversions, increased royalty fees ($191,000) associated with the additional
HomeTown Buffet restaurants in operation along with the decline in JB's
Restaurants same store sales.

GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the sixteen and forty week
periods ended July 3, 1995 as compared with the comparable periods of the prior
fiscal year is primarily due to reduced employee relocation costs.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. The increase in depreciation and amortization as
a percentage of total revenues in the sixteen week period ended July 3, 1995, as
compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year primarily reflects
depreciation associated with remodeled JB's Restaurants and Galaxy Diner
conversions partially offset by the increase in the number of HomeTown Buffet
restaurants which operate with lower depreciation and amortization as a percent
of revenues.

CHARGE FOR PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS. The charge for property dispositions for the
sixteen and forty week periods ended July 4, 1994, of $1,982,000 is primarily
related to the disposition of certain underperforming JB's Restaurants.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The decrease in interest expense as a percentage of total
revenues for the sixteen and forty week periods ended July 3, 1995, as compared
with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year is due to lower outstanding
debt.

INTEREST INCOME. The decrease in interest income as a percentage of total
revenues for the sixteen and forty week periods ended July 3, 1995, as compared
with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year is primarily a result of
lower cash and short term investment balances.

GAIN ON SALE OF HOMETOWN BUFFET, INC. STOCK. During the sixteen week period
ended July 4, 1994, the Company sold 1,056,780 shares of HomeTown Buffet, Inc.
stock resulting in a pre-tax gain of $14,700,000.

LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF NOTE RECEIVABLE. During the sixteen week period ended
July 4, 1994, the Company recorded a $1,564,000 loss resulting from the
disposition of a note receivable.

INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rates of 0.0% and 26.9% of pre-tax income
in the sixteen and forty week periods ended July 3, 1995, respectively, are
significantly below the effective tax rates for the comparable periods of the
prior fiscal year primarily due to a $527,000 adjustment to the reserve against
net deferred tax assets that may not be realized in the future.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary source of working capital has historically been cash flow
from operations and borrowings. During the forty week period ended July 3, 1995,
the Company obtained cash from other sources 

<PAGE>   12


including the sale of short-term investments and the sale of assets. The Company
requires capital principally for the acquisition and construction of new
restaurants, remodeling and conversion of existing restaurants, and renewals of
equipment and leasehold improvements. During the remainder of fiscal year 1995,
the Company anticipates its capital requirements will be primarily for renewals
of equipment and leasehold improvements and expects to fund these capital
requirements through cash on hand at the end of the quarter and internally
generated funds.

During the forty week period ended July 3, 1995, cash and cash equivalents were
provided by the following sources:

     ===================================================================================================
</TABLE>

During the forty week period ended July 3, 1995, cash used exceeded cash
provided by $4.1 million due primarily to capital expenditures associated with
the conversion of five underperforming JB's Restaurants to Galaxy Diners, the
remodeling of four JB's Restaurants and the construction of two HomeTown Buffet
restaurants.

The current ratio at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 was
0.4:1.0 compared to 0.8:1.0 at September 26, 1994. Management does not consider
the fact that the current ratio is less than one to be itself an indication of a
liquidity problem as the restaurant business has practically no receivables and
minimum inventories that typically turn faster than accounts payable to
suppliers.

As of July 3, 1995, the Company had $2.1 million in letters of credit and $2.4
million in bank loans which are secured by 528,220 shares of HomeTown Buffet,
Inc. common stock and by certain properties owned by the Company. On May 18,
1995, the Company terminated its $3.0 million line of credit in exchange for the
release of the lien on an office/warehouse property which the Company sold
generating net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. The Company was not in
compliance with certain covenants in its lending agreements at the end of its
fiscal third quarter. The Company obtained a waiver from the bank with respect
to these covenants. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with certain
covenants in its lending agreements at the end of its fiscal fourth 

<PAGE>   13

quarter, and is currently in discussions with the bank with respect to waiver or
revision of the covenants. In the event no agreement is reached with the bank,
the Company may sell certain assets in order to repay these loans.

The Company has a $2.5 million equipment lease commitment to finance new
HomeTown Buffet restaurant equipment which expires September 30, 1995. The
Company had utilized $1.0 million of the commitment as of July 3, 1995. The
remaining balance of the commitment is not available to the Company if it is in
technical noncompliance or does not expect to be in compliance with certain
covenants in its lending agreements.

The Company opened one new HomeTown Buffet restaurant during the third quarter
of fiscal year 1995 and an additional HomeTown Buffet restaurant opened in the
fiscal fourth quarter of 1995. This brings the Company's total number of
HomeTown Buffet restaurants in operation to 16. The Company's exclusive area
development agreement with HomeTown Buffet, Inc. has been amended to extend the
Company's requirement to open a minimum of 17 HomeTown Buffet restaurants to
June 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995.

During the forty week period ended July 3, 1995, the Company remodeled four of
its higher performing JB's Restaurants and does not anticipate remodeling any
other higher performing JB's Restaurants during the remainder of fiscal year
1995. The Company continues to routinely repair and maintain the Company's
restaurants. In addition, the Company has, in fiscal 1995, converted five of
its lower performing JB's Restaurants to Galaxy Diners bringing the number of
Galaxy Diners to six at the end of the fiscal third quarter. Future Galaxy Diner
conversions, JB's Restaurants remodels and new HomeTown Buffet restaurants will
be dependent upon the Company improving internal cash flow and/or finding
additional sources of capital. This capital could result from the sale of
assets. To the extent that these assets secure the bank loans, the Company
expects that it will repay these loans when the assets are sold. If the
Company's earnings do not improve or other sources of financing are not
obtained, the Company would have to reevaluate its capital spending plans.

On July 24, 1995, the Company announced the formation of a special committee of
outside independent directors to review strategic alternatives, including the
potential sale of assets. The investment banking firm of Piper Jaffray Inc. has
been retained to assist in this process.


SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal in nature with the spring and summer quarters
being the highest volume periods. The Company's lowest volume periods typically
occur during the first and second fiscal quarters.


IMPACT OF INFLATION

Many of the Company's employees are paid hourly rates related to the federal and
state minimum wage laws. Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage could
materially increase the Company's labor costs. Currently, there are no further
scheduled increases in the federal minimum wage. In addition, the cost of food
commodities utilized by the Company are subject to market supply and demand
pressures as is evidenced by the recent increase in produce prices (lettuce in
particular) resulting from the unusual weather conditions in the western U.S.
growing regions. Shifts in these costs may have a significant impact on the
Company's food costs. The Company anticipates that increases in these costs can
be offset through pricing and other cost control efforts; however, there is no
assurance that the Company would be able to pass such costs on to its guests or,
if it were able to do so, could do so in a short period of time.
