ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

The following condensed consolidated financial statements are included herein:

Condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995
and March 31, 1996                                                   Page 3

Condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996                                 Page 4

Condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996                                 Page 5


The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, which
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The Company provides for current and deferred income tax liabilities and
assets utilizing an asset and liability approach along with a valuation 
allowance as appropriate.  At December 31, 1995 the Company determined that
it needed to revise its financial reporting for deferred income tax liability
and, therefore, increased its accrual for income tax expense.  The change
effected the entire 1995 year and when spread over the year had the effect
of lowering previously reported first quarter 1995 earnings by $17,331.  This
change is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 included herein.

(1) As a percentage of restaurant revenue
</TABLE>

Total revenue increased 8.2% in the three months ended March 31, 1996, from
$8.2 million in 1995 to $8.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The increase was attributable to revenue at the five new restaurants opened
after the first quarter in 1995 and the one new restaurant opened during the
first quarter of 1996 and to a 2.0% increase in comparable restaurant revenue
offset by a .4% increase in discounts as a percentage of revenue.

<PAGE>

Cost of revenue as percentage of restaurant revenue increased from 17.9% in
the first three months of 1995 to 18.6% in the same period in 1996.
The increase was primarily the result of increased cheese prices which were
unusually low during the first three months of 1995.  Salaries and wages
increased as a percentage of restaurant revenue from 30.8% for the first
three month period in 1995 to 31.2% in the same period in 1996. The increase
was attributable to a higher average hourly wage, partially offset by more
efficient scheduling of hourly employees.  Management believes that the 
competition for labor in 1996 has declined to date due to decreased competition
from certain casual dining chains which opened in the region during 1995.
Other expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 22.9% in the first
three month period in 1995 to 23.4% in the same period in 1996.  The increase
was primarily attributable to increased utility costs which resulted from 
colder than normal winter weather.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
decreased from 6.1% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 4.8% in
the same period in 1996.  The decrease as a percentage of total revenue was
primarily attributable to the increase in total revenue due to new 
restaurant openings in 1995 and to an overall reduction in general and
administrative expense.

Operating income decreased from $431 thousand in the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 to $407 thousand in the same period in 1996.
Operating income decreased as a percentage of revenue from 5.3% in the
first three months of 1995 to 4.6% in the same period in 1996.

Interest expense increased from $285 thousand for the first three month
period ended March 31, 1995 to $359 thousand in the same period in 1996.
This increase is the result of a higher interest rate on the Company's debt
as a result of the refinancing in December, 1995 in order to repay notes
which had a short term maturity.

Income before federal income taxes decreased from $146 thousand for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 to $49 thousand in the same period
in 1996.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in 
interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal capital requirements arise from the costs associated
with the development and opening of new restaurants and refurbishment of
existing restaurants.  The Company's primary sources of working capital are 
cash flow from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities.

Capital expenditures were $298,636 for the first three month period in 1995
and $314,610 in the same period in 1996.  The Company expands primarily through
the use of leased land and buildings.  The capital requirement for new 
restaurants in free-standing leased facilities is approximately $150,000 per
restaurant.
