NOTE 1:  PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the two quarters ended
April 27, 1995, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management,
all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, and
all adjustments necessary for fair presentations of financial position and
results of operations have been made.  It is suggested that these unaudited
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal
year 1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25,
1995.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the April 28, 1994 financial
statements contained herein to conform to the classifications presented in
fiscal 1995.

NOTE 6:   ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109").  SFAS No. 109 requires a change from the deferred
method of accounting for income taxes to the asset and liability method.  Under
the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or
settled.  Under SFAS No.  109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of
enactment.

ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

     Effective October 29, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109.  The
cumulative effect of the change in method of accounting for income taxes of
$258,000 is determined as of October 29, 1993 and is reported separately in The
fiscal 1994 Statement of Income.  This effect is primarily attributable to the
difference between tax rates in effect when deferred tax assets and liabilities
arose and current tax rates.  Deferred taxes accounted for under the deferred
method and existing prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, included the effect
of net operating loss and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards.
Management has calculated that future reversals of existing deferred tax
liabilities will be sufficient to realize existing deferred tax assets,
including those related to net operating loss and alternative minimum tax
credit carryforwards within the available carryforward period.  Accordingly,
the Company has recorded no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

    The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
components of deferred income tax liabilities and assets under the asset and
liability method of SFAS No. 109 are as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 7:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    The Company's workers' compensation policies are retrospectively adjusted
policies for which the estimated premiums paid are subject to adjustment based
upon actual claims incurred.  Although no assurances can be given, management
believes, based upon the Company's historical workers' compensation claims
experience that related amounts recorded by the Company for unpaid workers'
compensation claims and claims adjustment expenses are adequate.

    The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims generally incidental
to its business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of
these matters is not expected to have a significant adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The Company currently has employment agreements with substantially all of
its executive officers.  The employment agreements provide for the continuation
of employment of each executive officer through January 1, 1996, subject to
termination by the Company under certain conditions, and automatically
extending for one year on each January 1, beginning in 1996, unless otherwise
terminated.  Each executive officer is entitled to receive a base salary, bonus
and incentive awards, benefits and perquisites, all as established from time to
time by the Board of Directors of the Company.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     At April 27, 1995, the Company had working capital of approximately
$4,595,000 and a cash position consisting  of cash and cash equivalents of
approximately  $2,767,000.  The Company  has no  lines of  credit.    On
February 11, 1994, the Company signed a promissory note with the holder of its
13.3% senior secured notes for a $1,000,000 term loan bearing interest at
11.1%.  The use of these proceeds was restricted to the reimbursement of the
payment of interest on the 15 7/8% subordinated debentures (the "Debentures")
due December 1, 1993 and for general corporate purposes.  This term loan had an
outstanding balance of approximately $2,300 at April 27, 1995.  It is expected
that additional future cash funds will be derived from operating and investing
activities similar to those outlined in the Statements of Cash Flows and the
sale of properties identified for disposition.  The Company currently has
sixteen locations identified for possible sale.  These locations primarily
include tracts of surplus land and previously closed restaurant locations.  The
loss of operating profit/loss associated with operating properties included in
locations identified for possible sale is not anticipated to materially affect
future results from operations.  The Company's cash requirements within its
restaurant operations are typical of the food service industry; therefore, it
does not require large amounts of working capital for its restaurant operations
since restaurant sales are primarily for cash, purchases are on open accounts
and restaurant inventories are generally limited to a three or four day supply.

     Of the $479,000 in investments at April 27, 1995, approximately $474,000
is restricted by a pledge to collateralize a $470,000 letter of credit
associated with the current worker's compensation insurance policy.

    The Company presently has no locations under construction.

    The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the two quarters ended
April 27, 1995, relates, in part, to the repurchase of $3,049,000 of the
Debentures and payment of related interest thereon, payment of the semiannual
interest payment due on the Debentures, and payment of monthly interest
payments due on the 13.3% senior secured notes.  This cash outflow was
partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

     During the quarter ended April 27, 1995, the Company entered into several
agreements with the holder of the 13.3% senior secured notes, pursuant to which
six properties securing the 13.3% senior secured notes were released from the
lien of the related Indenture and in substitution therefore, eight other
properties owned by the Company were mortgaged and made subject to the lien of
the Indenture securing the 13.3% senior secured notes.  Two of the released
properties were subsequently sold by the Company and then leased back by the
Company.  In addition, another of the released properties was sold.  The net
proceeds from these sales, together with other

funds of the Company, were used to purchase $3,049,000 principal amount of the
Debentures  plus accrued interest.  The holder of the 13.3% senior secured
notes also agreed that the $1,800,000 principal payment due June 30, 1995,
with respect to the 13.3% senior secured notes would be deferred until June 30,
1999.  In addition, the Company and the holder of the 13.3% senior secured
notes agreed to modify a property disposition covenant of the Indenture that
effects the use of proceeds resulting from future property sales.  Additional
information is available in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 30, 1995.

    The Company used cash in operating activities of $88,000 and $268,000
during the two quarters ended April 27, 1995 and April 28, 1994, respectively.

    The Company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants, as
amended.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

    Restaurant revenues increased 5.2% and 3.1% to $9,347,000 and $18,061,000,
respectively, for the quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995 compared to
the same period in 1994.  The increase is due in part to the acquisition of
five franchised stores during the twelve months ended April 27, 1995 offset, in
part, by a .9% decrease in same store average restaurant sales for the two
quarters ended April 27, 1995.

    Restaurant food costs were 31.4% of restaurant sales for the quarter and
31.6% for the two quarters ended April 27, 1995 compared to 31.3% of restaurant
sales for both the quarter and two quarters ended April 28, 1994.

    Labor and related costs were 35.4% and 35.2% of restaurant sales for the
quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995 compared to 32.6% and 33.2% of
restaurant sales, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.  This
increase is due, in part, to the increase in the number of management personnel
in certain locations and the increase in the number of participants in the
Company's management training program.

    Other restaurant operating expenses were 31.7% and 30.9% of restaurant
sales for the quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995 compared to 34.9%
and 34.4% of restaurant sales, respectively, for the same periods in the prior
year.  The components of other restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of
restaurant sales in the quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995 and April
28, 1994 were as follows:

    The decrease in restaurant operating expense, as a percentage of sales, is
primarily due to a decrease in worker's compensation insurance costs.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

     Franchise fees decreased by 14.2% and 8.8%, respectively, for the quarter
and two quarters ended April 27, 1995, compared to the same periods in the
prior year.  These decreases are due mainly to the decrease of eight franchised
units during the twelve months ended April 27, 1995.  Additionally, same store
average sales per store decreased by 5.1% and 3.6%, respectively, for the
quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995, compared to the same periods the
previous year.

     The decrease in franchise fees was accompanied by decreases in franchise
expenses of 36.2% for the quarter and 16.5% for the two quarters ended April
27, 1995, compared to the prior year.

     Lease rental income decreased 16.9% and 17.4%, respectively, for the
quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995, when compared to the same
periods in the prior year.  The decrease in lease rental income reflects the
termination of twelve lease agreements associated with certain franchise
agreements terminated during the twelve months ended April 27, 1995.

     Cost of lease rental income increased 1.7% and 14.5%, respectively, for
the quarter and two quarters ended April 27, 1995, compared to the same periods
in the prior year.  These increases were due primarily to the increase in bad
debt expense and the cost of terminating two leases during the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995

     General and Administrative costs for the two quarters ended April 27,
1995, decreased by 22.1% to $1,410,000 from $1,811,000 for the same period the
previous year.  This decrease is due primarily to a $306,000 decrease in legal
and professional fees combined with decreases in other taxes, insurance and
warehouse expenses.
