NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)



1. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
   the annual report to shareholders for the year ended October 30, 1994.   
   The unaudited financial statements for the twelve and forty weeks ended
   August 6, 1995 and August 7, 1994 contain all adjustments which, in the
   opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results 
   for the interim periods presented.  All of the adjustments included were of a
   normal and recurring nature.

2. As of August 6, 1995, the Company had $27,250,000 of borrowings and
   $10,858,000 of letters of credit placed under its bank credit facility.  As 
   of August 1, 1995, the facility was amended to reduce it to $55,000,000 from
   $75,000,000 and to modify a financial covenant as of the end of the third
   quarter of 1995.

3. During the first three quarters of 1995, the Company purchased 508,000 shares
   of its common stock for $7,694,000 pursuant to authorization from its Board 
   of Directors.  In September 1995, the Company's Board authorized acquisition
   of an additional 300,000 common shares and, at September 15, 1995,
   authorization to purchase an additional 300,500 common shares was available.

4. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of 50 
   restaurant locations in trade areas that are no longer considered appropriate
   for the Company's existing concepts.  As part of the disposal plan, the 
   carrying value of those restaurants' assets were written down to net 
   realizable values.  The Company also accrued expected carrying costs pending
   disposition and sublease disposition losses.  As of August 6, 1995, the 
   Company had closed 30 of those locations, of which 14 stores were disposed
   through sublease or sale arrangements.  The remaining 20 restaurants will
   continue to be operated until a satisfactory sale or sublease can be  
   negotiated or until individual restaurant unit economics dictate closure.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

The Company's quarterly financial information is subject to seasonal 
fluctuation.  Also, the quarterly periods ended February 19, 1995 and 
February 20, 1994 were comprised of sixteen weeks each, while the remainder of
the Company's quarterly periods are comprised of twelve weeks each.  As a 
result, the financial information for the periods presented is not indicative of
results that may be achieved on an annual basis.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain operating information for the Company's 
two primary operating concepts and the Company as a whole.

</TABLE>

Consolidated restaurant sales decreased 11.4% during the third quarter and 9.2% 
for the first three quarters of 1995 in comparison to the same prior year 
periods.  The Company operated approximately 28 fewer equivalent restaurants in
1995's third quarter and 21 fewer equivalent restaurants in the first three 
quarters of 1995 than in the comparable time frame last year, due to restaurant 
closures and dispositions.  Comparable sales declines of 7.3% in the quarter and
5.9% in the first three quarters also contributed to the overall decrease in  
sales.  The majority of the decrease occurred in the Bakers Square division 
where a menu price reduction of approximately 10% went into effect in the middle
of the second quarter of 1995.  This strategic action of reducing prices was 
taken to reverse the four-year decline in customer counts in that division.  The
action contributed to a slowing of the trend of negative comparable customer 
counts as follows:

Percentage decrease in comparable customer counts versus prior year for the 
Bakers Square division:

               1st quarter 1995      (8.5%)
               2nd quarter 1995      (7.5%)
               3rd quarter 1995      (1.0%)

Management plans to introduce a new Bakers Square menu in the middle of the 
fourth quarter of 1995 to further increase appeal to customers.

Store operating results for the third quarter and first three quarters of the 
year decreased both in total and as a percentage of sales.  Bakers Square's 
store operating results decreased significantly due to the menu price 
reductions, lower comparable sales in relationship to fixed costs, and 
investments in food, labor and certain other restaurant related items in order 
to improve customer counts.  Village Inn's store operating results were 
essentially unchanged from the prior year, but improved as a percentage of 
sales.  The closure of unprofitable restaurants and reduced advertising and 
insurance costs were largely offset by higher labor costs from increased 
staffing.
                                    
ASSET DISPOSALS

As of August 6, 1995, the Company had closed 30 of the 50 restaurants scheduled 
for disposition under a plan adopted in fiscal 1994.  Fourteen of the closed  
units have been disposed of through sublease or sale arrangements.  The 
remaining 20 locations will remain open until a satisfactory sale or sublease 
can be arranged, or until unit economics dictate closure.  The following tables 
detail sales and operating results for the 50 restaurants.  The tables also 
segregate those restaurants which are closed and therefore only operated for a 
portion of 1995 but all of 1994 and those that remain open and operated for all 
of fiscal 1995 and 1994.

</TABLE>

During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company discontinued internal 
warehousing and distribution of grocery products for its restaurants.  The 
Company began utilizing an independent distribution company for those services.
Management does not anticipate that significant changes in delivered product 
costs will result from the change, however, food inventories were reduced.



OTHER REVENUES AND EXPENSE

General and administrative expense decreased as a result of administrative 
office consolidations, staff reductions and reduced incentive and legal 
expenses.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs 
for the first three quarters of 1995 were 6.7% compared to 8.3% in the 
comparable period last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Cash provided by operations decreased 60% in the first three quarters of 1995 
compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due to lower operating income.   
Operating cash flow was supplemented by collection of an insurance receivable in
1995's first quarter.
 
The Company reduced its outstanding bank advances by $1,000,000 in the first 
three quarters of 1995.  As of August 6, 1995, $27,250,000 of advances were 
outstanding under the Company's bank credit facility and approximately
$16,900,000 was available for additional direct advances, and letters of credit.
The credit facility was amended as of August 1, 1995 to reduce it to 
$55,000,000 from $75,000,000 and to provide financial covenant relief 
as of the end of the third quarter of 1995.  The Company is currently 
negotiating a new facility for the revolving credit line expiring June 30, 
1996.

During the first three quarters of 1995, the Company purchased 508,000 shares of
its common stock for $7,694,000, which essentially filled the then existing 
authorizations granted by its Board.  In September 1995, the Board authorized
repurchase of an additional 300,000 shares of its common stock.  Purchases and 
future authorizations will be dependent upon various business and financial 
considerations.

Capital expenditures in 1995 were significantly lower than those incurred during
the same time frame in 1994, because of the Company's continued focus on service
enhancement rather than remodel and growth activities.  Capital expenditures 
approximating $3,000,000 are expected during the remainder of the fiscal year. 
Cash provided by operations and the Company's bank credit facility are expected
to be adequate to fund these expenditures.



                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of VICORP Restaurants, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
VICORP RESTAURANTS, INC. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiary as of
August 6, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the 12- and 40-week periods ended August 6, 1995 and
August 7, 1994, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
for the 40-week periods ended August 6, 1995 and August 7, 1994.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of VICORP Restaurants,
Inc. and subsidiary as of October 30, 1994 (not presented herein), and in
our report dated December 6, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
that statement.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 30, 1994
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance
sheet from which it has been derived.
