PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Introduction
Tubby's, Inc., the Registrant, and its subsidiaries, are referred to herein as
the "Company."
History
Tubby's, Inc. was founded in 1968 in the Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan area.
The Company opened a small store and began selling submarine sandwiches. The
Company enjoyed success and growth and in 1977 began the sale of franchises of
its submarine sandwich concept. In 1990, the Company, through a reverse
merger, acquired the rights to the Stuff-Yer-Face Restaurants which operate
primarily in New Jersey.
General Development of Business
During fiscal year 1994, Tubby's Inc. concentrated on a "back to basics"
approach to its business. The company concentrated on restructuring its
management team, consolidating administrative functions, eliminating
unprofitable operations, and development of new sub shop franchises. The
results of this multi-faceted undertaking were not expected to be realized
until 1995. With the reporting of 1995 results the Company is pleased to have
achieved its initial goals and has returned to profitability.
This increased effort to both eliminate unprofitable operations and sell
Tubby's Sub Shop franchisees has resulted in the following achievements in
1995:
Two (2) Area Development Agreements (ADA) Representing Ten (10) Units:
o Two (2) stores opened in 1995
o One (1) store expected to open in 1996
o Two (2) stores expected to open in 1997
o One (1) store expected to open in 1998
o Two (2) stores expected to open in 1999
o Two (2) stores after 1999
Single Store Agreements:
o Eight (8) new franchised stores opened in 1995.
o Two (2) existing Tubby's Express stores were sold to a new
franchisee in 1995.
o One (1) new franchised store opened in the first quarter of 1996.
o One (1) company owned store was sold to a new franchisee in the
first quarter of 1996.
Closed Units
o Two (2) unprofitable Tubby's Express restaurants were closed in
1995 and one (1) Tubby's Express restaurant was closed in 1996. A
franchisee-owned Tubby's Sub Shop was also closed in 1995.
Description of Business
The Company develops, operates, franchises and services a system of
restaurants which prepare and serve a comprehensive menu of submarine
sandwiches and related items. Tubby's submarine sandwiches are all prepared to
order and many of its sandwiches are cooked on a grill. These restaurants are
franchised, owned
<PAGE>
and operated as company stores, or operated under joint venture agreements
between the Company and local business people.
The Company also franchises and services a line of restaurants known as
Stuff-Yer-Face. These restaurants are casual, sit-down, full service
restaurants offering a line of "stuffed pizza" products known as "Stromboli."
These restaurants create a casual and distinctive atmosphere by emphasizing
the humorous "Stuff-Yer-Face" name and service by friendly waiters and
waitresses. Consistent with the Stuff-Yer-Face name, portions are large.
If a potential Franchisee desires to establish multiple restaurants in a
defined geographical area or wishes to have the right to allow other persons
to apply to become Franchisees within a designated area, that Franchisee may
enter into an Area Development or Area Representation Agreement. In 1995, the
Company entered into two (2) Area Development Agreements, (ADA).
As of November 30, 1995, a total of sixty-nine (69) restaurants were in
operation consisting of four (4) Stuff-Yer-Face restaurants, four (4) Tubby's
Express restaurants, (of which one (1) was operated by a joint venture
operating agreement, and one (1) was owned by the Company), and sixty-one (61)
Tubby's Sub Shops restaurants, (of which two (2) were owned by the Company).
In December, 1995, one (1) Company owned Tubby's Express restaurant was
permanently closed. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold a Company
owned Tubby's Sub Shop to a franchisee. The Company anticipates the sale of
the Tubby's Express restaurant which is operated by a joint venture operating
agreement. See footnotes #13 and #14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Products
Tubby's restaurants offer a uniform menu which includes over 20 different
submarine and pita sandwiches cooked to order, french fries, onion chips and
breaded mushrooms, potato chips, soup, and a full line of Pepsi-Cola soft
drink refreshments. Some restaurants also offer a line of premium ice cream
that is sold in cones, desserts and take home packaging.
The Company's submarine sandwiches are all prepared to order and many of the
products, including its line of steak sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, etc.,
are cooked when ordered; thus, allowing the customer to enjoy a hot meal. The
Company's sandwiches are offered in different sizes from a length of six
inches to a length in excess of five feet. Sandwiches in excess of twelve
inches are generally ordered for parties, picnics and social events. The
"party sub" is offered at all stores on an advance order basis, only. Tubby's
menu is offered for carry out, on-site consumption and, where available,
delivery.
The Stuff-Yer-Face (SYF) restaurants offer a menu featuring a specialty
sandwich called a "Stromboli." A Stromboli is a closed sandwich with the bread
freshly baked around a favorite filling selected by the customer together with
cheeses, tomato sauce, onions and peppers. The Stromboli fillings, which
customers may select in any combination, include meatballs, sausage,
pepperoni, veal, steak, chicken and shrimp. The "Vegetaboli(R)" is a meatless
"Boli" with fillings selected by the customer including eggplant, mushroom,
broccoli and spinach. The sandwiches may be prepared in any combination of
meat and vegetables. Management is of the opinion that wrapping the dough
around the fillings improves the taste of the Stromboli over pizza through a
steaming process which occurs inside the Stromboli. The steaming process
permits the vegetables to retain flavor and crispness, meats to remain tender
and juicy, and cheeses and sauce to blend together to create a fine flavor
while also permitting the dough to crisp and brown. "Boli" sandwiches are
served in two sizes, "Large", and a smaller size Boli, the "Baby Boli(R)."
<PAGE>
The Stuff-Yer-Face restaurants also serve hamburgers, steak sandwiches, and
pizzas together with side orders including french fries, onion rings, fried
mozzarella sticks and others. The restaurants also serve "Lite-Stuff(R)",
consisting of a variety of fresh salads and club sandwiches. One location
serves alcoholic beverages. Each of the Stuff-Yer-Face present restaurants are
sit-down, full service restaurants utilizing waitress and waiter service.
Beverages and side orders are served while the customer's order is being
prepared. When the order is ready, each customer is served at his table by the
waiter or waitress. Each restaurant also accommodates phone orders for take
out sales.
Franchising
The Company franchises all of its restaurant concepts, including the Tubby's
Express, Tubby's Sub Shop and Stuff-Yer-Face concepts.
The Company believes that customer satisfaction is critical to the long-term
success of the Company and emphasizes quality, proven, well trained
entrepreneurs in its Franchisee selection process. All potential Franchisees
are carefully screened by top members of the Management team who all
participate in the Franchisee approval process.
Franchises for Tubby's Sub Shops restaurants have been offered since 1977. The
Company offers potential Franchisees a choice of a Single-Unit Franchise
Agreement, a Development Agent Agreement (DAA) or an Area Representation
Agreement. Tubby's Management is concentrating its resources on the
development of Tubby's and Stuff-Yer-Face restaurants and the franchising of
those restaurants.
A Tubby's Franchisee is responsible to supply sufficient capital for
construction, remodeling and equipment costs required to bring a location to
the standard specifications of a Tubby's store. Sub Line Co. ("Sub Line"), a
subsidiary of Tubby's, Inc., may, at the option of the Franchisee, construct
the restaurant, leasehold improvements and the necessary equipment.
Alternately, the Franchisee may purchase the required construction drawings
from the Company and do the work itself. Regardless of how constructed, all
restaurants must meet the Company's specifications before they are allowed to
enter the system.
The License Agreement gives the Franchisee the right to use Tubby's
trademarks, service marks and methods of operation to operate a Tubby's
restaurant at a specific location that is approved by Tubby's. The initial
term of Tubby's Franchise Agreement is ten (10) years with the Franchisee
generally having the option to renew. The initial license fee, which is
payable upon execution of the Franchise Agreement is $15,000. Persons who
commit to the construction of more than one franchise could have a reduced
up-front franchise fee. The initial franchise fee compensates Tubby's for
various services provided by Tubby's to Franchisees, such as management and
operations training, review of restaurant site selection, restaurant design
assistance, specifications and equipment lists, assistance in locating
suppliers and operating assistance during the initial opening of a restaurant.
New Tubby's License Agreements require the Franchisee to pay Tubby's a weekly
royalty equal to the greater of $125 per restaurant or six percent (6%) (as of
January, 1996) of the Franchisee's adjusted gross weekly sales. Previously,
Tubby's Licensing Agreements required the franchisee to pay Tubby's a weekly
royalty equal to the greater of $125 per restaurant or four percent (4%) of
the Franchisee's adjusted gross weekly sales. Most of the already existing
Franchise Agreements require the Franchisee to pay Tubby's a weekly
advertising fee equal to the greater of $100 per restaurant or three and
one-half percent (3 1/2%) of the Franchisee's adjusted gross weekly sales.
Those advertising fees are used to pay for shared production and media
advertising costs and other promotional costs. The Franchise Agreement further
requires the Franchisee, among other things, to comply with Tubby's standards
and procedures of operation along with
<PAGE>
menu and food quality specifications, to purchase supplies from Tubby's
approved sources, and to permit inspections and audits by Tubby's.
Franchised restaurants are operated in accordance with uniform standards
required of all Franchisees. These standards include such items as selection,
quality, preparation and approval of menu items, signage, decor, equipment,
uniform, suppliers, hours of operation, cleanliness, appearance, etc. All
standards are developed by the Company and implemented in conjunction with its
Franchisees.
The Company offers ongoing Franchisee support as well as scheduled and
unscheduled site inspections. All services are designed to ensure customer
satisfaction, efficient franchise operation and compliance with the Company's
standards.
In addition to the above standards, the Company also has financial reporting
requirements. These requirements include weekly/monthly sales reporting and
royalty and advertising payments, monthly financial statement submission and
the maintenance of books and records that will allow the Company to audit
those records if it so desires. The Company has the right to terminate a
Franchise Agreement if the Franchisee fails to meet the requirements imposed
by the above standards.
Training
The Company emphasizes Franchisee training as a means of ensuring that quality
and value products are delivered to its customers and profitability and
long-term sales growth to the Company. Training is an essential part of the
Franchisee experience. In order to enter the Tubby's system, a Franchisee is
required to complete an extensive training program as part of the orientation
process.
Tubby's provides a complete course of instructions relating to the operations,
methods, and other related procedures, with emphasis placed on the preparation
and serving of the specialty food items that are characteristic of Tubby's
restaurants. Salaries, expenses of travel, food and lodging, for Franchisee
and his/her representative are at the Franchisee's own expense. The training
program consists of a minimum of 150 hours of in-store operations, under
direct supervision of qualified personnel, in addition to classroom sessions
at Tubby's corporate offices.
After successful completion of training, Tubby's will provide assistance by
providing a member of its staff to the Franchisee's location for at least
three (3) days out of the first nine (9) weeks of operation.
Tubby's does not charge a fee for the training described above, however, it is
only obligated to provide training for a Franchisee's first location.
Additional training of management, employees, etc. is available at a fee, as
is assistance at a subsequent location.
Tubby's commitment to training is not limited to the initial training provided
at the time a Franchisee enters the system. The Company offers training and
education to its Franchisees on an ongoing basis. This training includes
restaurant operation, management training, equipment training and marketing
assistance. The Company emphasizes continued training as part of its
Franchisee support program.
Supplies
The Company does not own and operate a subsidiary that sells operating food
items and proprietary items to its Franchisees. Rather, the Company maintains
an approved supplier list and the Franchisees are free to
<PAGE>
select the approved supplier of their choice. In order to become an approved
supplier, a company must pass stringent requirements that are designed to
provide consistent high quality products to the Tubby's customer.
The Franchisees are also required to purchase fixtures and equipment meeting
Tubby's specifications from suppliers that are approved by Tubby's. The
approval of suppliers is based upon the quality of the items they supply and
their conformity with specifications established by Tubby's.
Sub Line is an approved supplier of certain equipment that has been specially
manufactured for use in Tubby's restaurants. Sub Line also acts as a broker
for several approved suppliers of machinery, equipment and food products that
are sold to Tubby's Franchisees and others. Although Tubby's Franchisees are
not required to purchase any equipment from Sub Line or utilize Sub Line's
brokerage services, Tubby's believes that many of them do so because the costs
of utilizing Sub Line's services are often less than the prices charged by
other sources. One reason why Sub Line is able to offer competitive prices is
that, when it acts as a broker, it can often obtain volume discounts for the
items that are sold to Tubby's Franchisees. Sub Line will make a profit on
equipment it purchases and resells. Sub Line also receives commissions from
suppliers for which it acts as a broker.
Advertising
Tubby's Franchisees are generally required to pay advertising fees equal to
the greater of $100 per week or 3 1/2% of total weekly adjusted gross sales of
that Franchisee's restaurant. Those funds are administered by Tubby's Sub Shop
Advertising Co., a subsidiary of the Company, and are used to pay for shared
production and media advertising costs as well as other promotional costs.
Marketing and promotion is voted on by the advertising council. This council
is made up of Franchisees and employees of the Company and works with the
Company in setting advertising programs and the timing of those programs.
The Company has historically emphasized local print media, direct mail,
television and radio as its form of advertising. Such advertising is generally
cost prohibitive for an individual Franchisee, but can be cost effective when
included with other Franchisees. All monies received for advertising are spent
for advertising purposes only, except for a portion which is retained by the
Company to cover administrative costs.
The Company has two full time employees devoted exclusively to the process of
marketing and advertising for its Franchisees on both an individual and on a
system wide basis. As a result of the efforts of these people and the efforts
of the Advertising Council, the Company has expanded and refined its marketing
efforts and in 1996 will continue its television advertising campaign in the
greater metropolitan Detroit, Michigan area.
Company Stores
The acquisition of additional Company restaurants is an integral part of the
Company's operating strategy. The Company owned and operated four Company
restaurants as of November 30, 1995. Two of the Company restaurants operate as
Tubby's Sub Shops and two restaurants operate as a Tubby's Express (of which
one (1) Tubby's Express restaurant is operated under a joint venture operating
agreement). In December, 1995, Management closed an unprofitable company-owned
Tubby's Express store. In January, 1996, the Company sold to a franchisee a
company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop. The Company anticipates the sale of the
remaining Tubby's Express restaurant which is operated by a joint venture
operating agreement. See footnotes #13 and #14 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
<PAGE>
Expansion Progress and Restaurant Development
Expansion is an important part of Tubby's growth plans. The Company carefully
studies possible locations and evaluates those potential sites based on a
variety of criteria including traffic patterns, population, availability of
drive-thru permits and other relevant criteria. The following table shows a
summary of the Company's franchise activity and Company store activity over
the last five years:

o One (1) company owned store was sold to a new franchisee in the
first quarter of 1996. See footnote #13 of the Consolidate
Financial Statements.
Competition
The restaurant business is highly competitive and is often affected by changes
in taste and eating habits of the public, by local and national economic
conditions affecting spending habits and by population and traffic patterns.
Tubby's believes that the quality and price of food products offered are the
principal means of competition in the restaurant industry. Also of importance
are site location, quality and speed of service, advertising and
attractiveness of facilities.
Tubby's competes with restaurant chains and other restaurants serving a
variety of quick service products. Some of Tubby's competitors operate more
restaurants and have greater financial resources, greater name
<PAGE>
recognition and more experienced operational organizations than Tubby's.
Although Tubby's believes it can operate favorably, it may be at a competitive
disadvantage with respect to chains with greater name recognition and
marketing capability. Furthermore, competition for management, other key
operating personnel and restaurant sites could increase as Tubby's operations
expand and as the general economy improves.
As a result of the standards Tubby's has set for its franchisees, it competes
with other franchisors for high quality, well capitalized franchisees. Tubby's
management considers the amount of the initial investment required of the
franchisee, the perceived potential for business success, return on
investment, assistance provided by the franchisor and the franchisor's name
recognition and reputation to be the most significant competitive factors in
franchising. The Company believes that the present economy will intensify this
competition.
Trademarks and Service Marks
The Company has registered trademark and service marks including Tubby's,
Boli's and the Stuff-Yer-Face names and logos. These trademarks and service
marks, as well as others, are registered with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and are of material importance to the Company.
Seasonal Operation
Although weather can be a factor in the sales of the Company's products, the
Company does not consider this business to be seasonal.
Regulation
The Company is subject to Federal Trade Commission regulations and several
state laws which regulate the offer, sale and licensing process of
Franchisors. In addition to the FTC, most states have laws which regulate and
control the Franchisor/Franchisee relationships.
Many states also have laws regulating franchise operations, including
registration and disclosure requirements in the offer and sale of franchises
and the application of statutory standards regulating franchise relationships.
Tubby's believes it is operating in substantial compliance with applicable
laws and regulations governing its operations.
Each of the restaurants operated by Tubby's Franchisees is subject to
licensing and regulation by the health, sanitation, safety, fire department
and in the case of Stuff-Yer-Face Franchisees serving alcoholic beverages, the
alcoholic beverage control agencies in the state or municipality where
located. Difficulties or failures in obtaining the required licensing or
approval could result in delays or cancellations in the opening of new
restaurants.
Federal and state environmental regulations have not had a material effect on
the operations of Tubby's or its Franchisees, but more stringent and varied
requirements of local governmental bodies with respect to zoning, land use and
environmental factors could delay construction of new restaurants.
Tubby's and its Franchisees are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act,
which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working
conditions. A significant portion of the food service personnel employed by
Tubby's Franchisees are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage, and
accordingly, increases in the minimum wage increase the labor cost incurred by
Tubby's Franchisees.
<PAGE>
In addition to the above rules and regulations, Tubby's Company stores are
subject to state and local laws governing such items as health, sanitation,
licensing, etc. All stores are subject to local inspection and ongoing permit
approval. Local inspections govern items that Tubby's believes are essential
to providing a quality customer experience and bringing customers back after
their initial visit. Tubby's works hard to comply with these laws and
regulations.
Customers
The Company is not dependent on a single customer.
Backlog
Company-owned restaurants have no backlog orders.
Research and Development
The Company works hard to ensure that the menu meets the needs of its
customers. Research and development efforts are done in conjunction with
suppliers. New products, if approved, are introduced via a variety of
marketing programs. While the Company considers research and development to be
essential to the successful long-term operation of the Company, the
expenditures in this area are not material.
Employees
As of November 30, 1995, the Company employed 10 persons in the management and
administration of the corporation. In addition, the Company owned two Tubby's
Sub Shop stores and operated two Tubby's Express stores. The stores employ a
total of 52 persons, including related store managers. None of Tubby's
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company
considers its employee relations to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company leases approximately 6,000 square feet in an office building which
it uses as its headquarters under a five year lease. Tubby's believes that
these facilities offer sufficient space to allow it to conduct its business
affairs.
The Company owns two parcels of real estate which are used either as a
restaurant site or designated for sale. One parcel is leased to a Franchisee.
The other parcel is currently being offered for sale. All of the Company's
real estate has been pledged as collateral on outstanding mortgage loans and
notes.
The Company leases all other Company stores and all of its Tubby's Express
locations. These leases are for various terms and various expiration dates.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A. Tubby's, Inc. v Alexander P. Bardy. On or about January 6, 1995, the
Company initiated a civil action in the Circuit Court for the County of
Macomb against Alexander P. Bardy, its former President & CEO. The
Complaint seeks reimbursement from the Defendant for unauthorized expenses
and expenditures, money damages as a result of the Defendant's usurpation
of corporate opportunities, fraudulent misrepresentations, breach of
contract and negligence, and sought a declaratory judgment regarding the
type of stock available to the Defendant pursuant to his Stock Option
Agreement. The Defendant denied any liability to the Company and filed a
"Counter-Complaint/Third-Party Complaint"
<PAGE>
alleging breach of the Stock Option Agreement against the Company and the
following Officers and/or Directors: Vincent J. Tatone, Robert M. Paganes,
Peter T. Paganes, and J. Thomas Paganes. Thereafter, the Third-Party
Defendants moved to be dismissed from the "Counter-Complaint/Third- Party
Complaint", which the Court granted in part and denied in part, without
prejudice. The Court dismissed all claims against the individuals for
breach of contract but did not dismiss other possible claims asserted for
the reason that discovery had not been completed. On October 30, 1995, the
Court granted the Company's Motion for Entry of a Declaratory Judgment
regarding the type of stock available to the Defendant under his stock
option agreement, ordered that Defendant would have 30 days in which to
exercise his options and dismissed the Defendant's request for injunctive
relief. The Defendant did not exercise those options within the 30 day
period. In January of 1996, the Third-Party Defendants renewed their Motion
to Dismiss. On February 6, 1996, the Court treated this Motion as a Motion
for Reconsideration and granted the Motion, which dismissed all claims by
Mr. Bardy which were asserted in the Third-Party Complaint and precludes
the re-litigation of those claims in any other action. Presently, the
parties are continuing to conduct discovery. The Company intends to
vigorously pursue and defend the matter and estimates the possibility of an
unfavorable outcome to be remote.
B. Patrick J. McCourt, the Patrick J. McCourt Trust, and McCourt Corporation,
a Michigan corporation v Tubby's, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the McTub
Company, a Michigan partnership, Robert M. Paganes, P. Terrance Paganes, J.
Thomas Paganes, and Vincent J. Tatone. On August 17, 1995, a civil action
was commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Michigan by the above named Plaintiffs. Patrick J. McCourt, as Trustee
of the Patrick J. McCourt Trust and as President of McCourt Corporation,
purchased restricted shares of Tubby's Common Stock pursuant to private
placements in June, July and November of 1993 and formed the McTub Company,
a general partnership with Tubby's in August of 1993 for the purpose of
owning and operating certain quick- service restaurants. Plaintiffs'
Complaint seeks recision of those transactions and, in connection
therewith, alleged violation of Federal Securities regulations, fraudulent
misrepresentation, violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, dissolution of partnership and accounting, violation of
Michigan Securities Act, and Michigan's Franchise Investment Law.
Plaintiffs purchased a total of 1.5 million shares at 25(cent)per share for
a total purchase price of $375,000 and Plaintiffs' total investment in the
McTub Company was approximately $400,000. The Company filed an Answer in
which it denied liability to Plaintiffs. In addition, the Company filed a
Cross-Claim against the McTub Company seeking a declaratory judgment that
the Company is entitled to a distribution in the amount of $105,000 prior
to any other distributions that may be made by that Company, and filed
Third-Party Complaint against Alexander P. Bardy, the Company's former
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin J. Sullivan, the Company's
former Chief Financial Officer. In the Third-Party Complaint, the Company
denies any liability to Plaintiffs but asserts, alternatively, in the event
that it is determined to be liable to Plaintiffs for any amount of money
damages, Third-Party Defendants would be liable to the Company for all such
damages, plus any additional damages sustained by the Company in connection
with the Complaint. The Company intends to zealously defend against the
claims asserted in the Complaint and to zealously prosecute its Cross-Claim
and Third-Party Complaint.
C. Alexander P. Bardy v J. Thomas Paganes, Peter T. Paganes, Robert M.
Paganes, and Vincent J. Tatone. On or about January 17, 1996, after the
Court in Tubby's, Inc. v Alexander P. Bardy described above in item A,
denied Mr. Bardy's Motion to Amend his "Counter-Complaint/Third-Party
Complaint", Mr. Bardy filed a separate action in the Circuit Court for the
County of Macomb against the above named Defendants. This Complaint
re-alleges the same claims asserted by Mr. Bardy in the previously pending
action but adds two additional counts: tortious interference with Mr.
Bardy's Stock Option Agreement and defamation against Defendant Tatone. On
February 6, 1996, when the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss in the
previously pending action, the Court also ruled that Mr. Bardy would be
precluded from re-litigating any of his claims that were dismissed in that

As of February 15, 1996, the approximate number of shareholders of record of
the Company was 4,726. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common
stock. Payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and depends, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements
and the operating and financial condition. At the present time, the Company's
anticipated financial capital requirements will be such that it intends to
follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the development of
its business.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Financial Overview
Tubby's, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries experienced a decrease in 1995
Total Revenue of $113,486 or 3.0%. Although the revenue trend of the Company
decreased in 1995, the Company earned net income of $274,439 in 1995 versus a
loss of $920,587 in 1994. This decrease in revenues is largely attributable to
lower food sales resulting from the sale of (2) Tubby's Express restaurants,
the closing of two (2)Tubby's Express restaurants and the sale of one (1)
company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop in 1995. The 1995 and 1994 food sales of all
company-owned restaurants are as follows:

</TABLE>
The loss for 1994 included a charge of $317,514 to estimate the loss on
disposal of all six of the Company's Tubby's Express restaurants. The Company
in 1995 incurred an additional loss of $117,091 resulting from the ongoing
operating losses and disposal of these restaurants, including a $29,090 charge
for the estimated loss on disposal of the last unprofitable Tubby's Express
restaurant which is company owned, (see footnotes #13 and #14 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The company-owned Tubby's Express
restaurant was closed in December, 1995, leaving one (1) profitable
company-owned Tubby's Express restaurant in operation which operated under a
joint venture operating agreement, which the Company anticipates selling in
1996.
The Company's subsidiary that provides advertising and promotional services
for the benefit of the Company and its franchisees incurred an Operating Loss
of $138,131 for 1995, effectively decreasing consolidated operating and net
income by a similar amount. Though Company Management believes that the
increased advertising and promotional effort was warranted by market
conditions at the time, it is the intention of the Company in the future to
expend funds only to the extent that advertising revenue is obtained from its
franchisees and company owned stores. The effect of this Operating Loss by the
Company's advertising subsidiary was a reduction of Consolidated Operating
Income of $231,184 to $93,053 and Consolidated Net Income of $412,570 to
$274,439 for the twelve months ending November 30, 1995.
In November, 1995, the Company hired a new director of franchise development.
This individual brings to Tubby's five years of restaurant industry experience
in franchise sales. In January, 1996, the Company hired a new director of
operations with fourteen years experience in the fast food restaurant
industry. With the addition of these individuals to Tubby's management team,
the Company believes that its restaurants as well as those of its franchisees
will perform increasingly well in 1996.
Tubby's conducts most of its business in the Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan
area. The Detroit area economy is largely tied to the results of the domestic
automotive industry. Employment and spending patterns of the people living in
this area tend to mirror the operating results of these companies and their
suppliers. During the last four years, the domestic automobile industry
improved significantly. As the domestic automobile industry hired additional
workers the local economy also improved and so did the operating results of
many of Tubby's franchised restaurants.
In addition to the local economy, the Quick Service Restaurant Industry (QSR)
business is experiencing renewed customer demand and increased levels of
business. Further, the demand for new Franchisees and new stores has increased
since 1993. Since the last quarter of fiscal year-end 1993, the Company has
experienced renewed demand from prospective Franchisees. This renewed activity
has resulted in the following achievements in 1995 by the Company:
<PAGE>

Results of Operations
Comparison of the years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994
Tubby's 1995 Food Sales decreased by $367,847. The Company closed two (2)
Tubby's Express restaurants on February 1, 1995, and sold two (2) of its other
Tubby's Express restaurants effective June 1, 1995, and September 1, 1995,
respectively, (see note #14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The
Company also sold a company-owned restaurant on December 24, 1994, and
acquired another company restaurant on April 1, 1995, which was re-sold in
January, 1996, (see notes #2 and #13 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements). Each of the four company restaurants that were sold are currently
operating as franchised Tubby's Sub Shops or Tubby's Express restaurants. See
table comparing 1995 and 1994 Food Sales on previous page.
Cost Of Food Sales relative to Food Sales decreased to 73.9% in 1995 from
80.0% in 1994 reflecting Management's decision to eliminate unprofitable
restaurants as well as to focus on increasing the gross profit margins
generated by the its continuing restaurant operations. As a result of the new
analytical techniques being utilized, Management can quickly react to
company-owned restaurants that do not perform to expectations. Normally,
within a three to four week period after a month end under- performing
restaurants can be identified and appropriate remedies initiated.
Monthly Franchise Fees and Advertising Fees increased by $52,766 or 4.5%,
representing increased income from the new franchised stores opened in 1995.
Other significant changes to Total Revenues were increases in Initial
Franchise Fees, and Commissions and Other Fees. Initial franchise fees in 1995
increased $80,875 or 160.1% when compared to 1994 representing Management's
increased "back to basics" effort to sell new franchises. The increase in
Commissions and Other Fees of $118,381 or 46.5% resulted from vendor
commissions which were derived from increased franchisee food purchases and
management's increased effort to collect the commissions.
The Company experienced a minor increase in Equipment & Restaurant Sales of
$2,339 or 0.4%. With the addition of a new individual, whose responsibilities
encompass equipment and restaurant sales, to the Company's management team in
late 1994, the gross profit from this activity has dramatically increased. In
1995, gross profit increased to $74,136 or 12.3% of sales as compared to the
1994 gross profit of $18,741 or 3.1% of sales. Equipment & Restaurant Sales in
1996 are expected to become an increasingly significant
<PAGE>
component of Tubby's total revenue and gross profit as the new effort in
franchise development is expected to materialize.
The Provision for Estimated Loss on Disposal of Tubby's Express Restaurants
for 1995 reflects a charge of $29,090 which management expects to be incurred
during the closing of one (1) of its two (2) remaining Company owed Tubby's
Express restaurants. In December, 1995, the Company closed this restaurant.
The Company is presently attempting to sell the one (1) remaining Tubby's
Express restaurants that it is a 51% partner in, (see footnote #14 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements). Management has not provided for an
estimated loss on disposal of this Tubby's Express restaurant since it is
expected to be sold for an amount greater than its carrying value. The 1995
and 1994 sales of these restaurants are as follows:
<TABLE>

1995 1994

One (1) Tubby's Express restaurant closed 198,852 68,894
-------- --------
$546,919 $396,562
======== ========
</TABLE>
Interest Expense in 1995 decreased by $36,383 or 49.3% from $73,847 in 1994.
This significant reduction is attributable to the reduction of long term debt
and capital leases. Additionally, with its strong liquidity, Management does
not anticipate that it will need to incur new debt in 1996.
Interest Income increased by $17,621 or 23.75% reflecting income earned on
excess funds. The Company maintains a investment strategy intended to minimize
risk while receiving a market rate of return on its excess funds.
Losses associated with the five McTub Company Tubby's Express restaurants
operated under the joint operating agreement totalled $117,091 in 1995 and
$627,546 in 1994. The Minority Interest portion of the loss was $51,483 in
1995 and $168,964 in 1994. Partnership losses are shared based on the
partners' respective initial capital contributions. Tubby's initial
contribution was $193,800 or 51% and the minority owner contributed $186,200
or 49%. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, losses
incurred by the partnership in excess of the minority owners' investment of
$237,683, have been absorbed by Tubby's. In 1996, Tubby's may recognize a gain
when the remaining assets of the partnership are expected to be distributed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Equivalents combined with Investments increased by $858,028 as
compared to 1994. The issuance of 5,750,000 shares generated $380,000 in cash
and the acquisition of a restaurant and inventory valued at $80,000, (see
footnote #2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The sale and/or
disposal of its company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop and four of The McTub Company's
Tubby's Express restaurants also generated $247,300 in cash.
Subsequent to 1995, the company sold a company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop and
closed a Tubby's Express restaurant, (see footnote #13 and #14 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements). In December, 1995, the Company offered to
purchase the Tubby's Sub Shop restaurant equipment of a bankrupted franchisee
for $120,000 comprised of a cash payment of $50,000 and accounts receivable
owed the Company of $70,000. The purchase price of $120,000 was determined
based upon historical valuation methods used with other outside franchisees.
Additionally, the Company offered to purchase the building and land where this
restaurant is
<PAGE>
located from its owner for $165,000. The Company believes it has sufficient
liquidity to acquire the restaurant, and the building and land. Both offers
are pending final acceptance by the other parties involved.
At November 30, 1994, Other Assets consisted of a life insurance policy with
cash value of $21,416. The life insurance policy was exchanged for its cash
surrender value in 1995 increasing cash by $21,416.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities Was $129,732 in 1995
Operating Activities Creating Significant Cash Inflows:
o Net Income of $274,439.
o Non-cash adjustments to the Net Income included
Depreciation & Amortization for 1995 of $124,655, and
Provision For Estimated Loss On Disposal Of Restaurant of
$29,090.
o Decrease in Inventories of $28,775 relates primarily to a
decrease in equipment inventoried for future use in new
restaurants of $4,271, and a decrease of food items
inventoried for sale in company owned stores and McTub
Company stores of $24,504.
Operating Activities Creating Significant Cash Out Flows:
o Decrease in Deferred Revenues of $30,875 resulted from the
realized sales of franchise fees resulting from the opening
of new franchised restaurants and vendor rebates realized
but received in a previous year.
o Accounts and notes receivable increased by $142,582 due to
a increase in notes receivable and a reduction in the
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts.
o Non-cash adjustment to Net Income due to a Minority
Interest of $51,483 and Gain On Sale Of Fixed Assets of
$49,704.
o Prepaid Expenses & Other increased by $30,496 reflecting the
payment of certain annual insurance premiums rather than monthly
installment payments over the life of the policy and construction
in progress of a new Tubby's Sub Shop restaurant.
o Accrued Liabilities and Accounts Payable decreased by a combined
$22,087 reflecting continued timely payment of payables.
Cash Flows Provided By Investing Activities Was $137,153 in 1995
Cash Flows From Investing Activities:
o Net Proceeds From Sale Of Property & Equipment in the amount of
$247,300 reflects the sale of a company-owned store for $133,500
and the sale and disposal of Tubby's Express equipment and
restaurants for $113,800 that were owned by The McTub Company,
(see footnote #14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
T
<PAGE>
o Other Assets decrease of $21,416 relates to the exchange of a life
insurance policy for its cash surrender value.
o Notes Receivable payments resulted in a $128,648 increase in cash.
Cash Used In Investing Activities:
o Purchase of $254,590 of Certificate of Deposit and Investments
from excess cash.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities increased by $336,553
Items Creating Cash In Flows:
o Proceeds of $380,000 from issuance of capital stock relates to the
issuance of 4,750,000 shares of common stock, (see footnote #10 of
the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Cash Used In Financing Activities:
o Payments of long-term debt of $94,930 relates to principal
reduction on notes owed by the Company.
Other Liquidity Related Items
During fiscal year 1994, Tubby's Inc. concentrated on a "back to basics"
approach to its business. The Company concentrated on eliminating unprofitable
operations, consolidating administrative functions and development of new sub
shop franchises. With a leaner and more focused management team the Company
was able in 1995 to concentrate on its core business of franchising Tubby's
Sub Shops and becoming profitable.
With the addition to Tubby's management team of the two individuals who will
lead the franchise development and operations functions for the Company,
Management feels that it will continue and build on the momentum initiated in
1995. Tubby's experienced a significant improvement in 1995 as it once again
became profitable.
Company management anticipates a continuation of its successes in 1996.
To generate sufficient cash flow to meet the needs of the Company, the Company
must continue to operate profitably. In order for this to occur, company-owned
restaurants must operate profitably and new stores must be added to the
system.
Additionally, expense control remains a critical element leading to the
continued profitability of the Company. Management is continuing its ongoing
review of expenses and is initiating cost reductions where appropriate. In the
fourth quarter of the 1994 fiscal year management initiated significant salary
and expense reductions-- the full benefit of which was not realized until
fiscal 1995.
The Company does not anticipate that the legal proceedings discussed in Item
#3 will not have a material impact on liquidity.
During 1996, the Company has identified several items which will impact cash
flow and the liquidity of the Company. Those items are:
<PAGE>
Items Creating Cash Inflows
o In December, 1995, the Company sold equipment from its Tubby's
Express Company store for $13,500, to an unrelated individual. In
1995, the Company provided $29,090 for the loss incurred in
disposing of this restaurant, (see footnote #13 and #14 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
o In January, 1996, the Company sold a company-owned Tubby's Sub
Shop for $83,750 plus a transfer fee of $6,250. Payment was in the
form of $25,000 cash and a $65,000 note receivable. The restaurant
was sold to a new franchisee and continues to operate as a Tubby's
Sub Shop.
The Company also has sufficient equipment inventory (see footnote #5 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements) to meet some of the needs of the new
Franchisees entering the system. Based on the existing commitments for new
Franchisees, the Company anticipates that it will convert most of its existing
inventory to cash in the 1996 year.
Items Creating Cash Outflows
o The Company has awarded a construction contract for a new
company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop. At November 30 ,1995, the Company
had incurred about $13,738 of the approximate $100,000 cost. The
Company expects to open and operate up to four (4) company-owned
restaurants this year. The approximate cost for each restaurant is
$100,000. The Company believes that the cost of the four
restaurants can be financed with a combination of internal and
bank financing, if necessary.
o Other new Tubby's Sub Shops as they are purchased by franchisees
may be constructed by the Company. The approximate cost for each
restaurant is $100,000. The Company believes that the cost of each
restaurant can be financed with a combination of internal funds
and bank financing, if necessary.
As a result of the above sources and uses of cash and the expected continued
improvements in operating cash flows, the Company believes it has sufficient
liquidity to meet the needs of the Company in 1996. Management believes that
as a result of its "back to basics" approach, the recognition of these
non-reoccurring items , and the reduction in operating expenses, the Company's
operations will continue to improve in 1996.
Impact of Inflation
The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on earnings
during the past several years. The Company has demonstrated an ability to
manage its assets, adjust retail prices, and use long-term debt for real
estate holdings - made less expensive by inflation - and take such other steps
as necessary to mitigate the effects of inflation.

TUBBY'S INCORPORATED & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 1995
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Tubby's, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary companies and its fifty
one percent (51%) partnership interest in The McTub Company (Tubby's
Express). Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Investments in joint ventures in which the company does
not own more than 50% but does have the ability to exercise
significant management influence over the operating and financial
policies, are accounted for by the equity method.
Revenue is derived from: 1) franchise and advertising fees for the
rights to operate sit down and carry-out restaurants specializing in
submarine sandwiches, hamburgers or steak sandwiches, pizzas or ice
cream; 2) food sales at company-owned stores; 3) equipment sales to
franchisees; and 4) vendor commissions and rebates.
During the year ended November 30, 1995, ten new outlets were opened
and three outlets were closed. At November 30, 1995, a total of
sixty-nine (69) restaurants were in operation consisting of four (4)
Stuff- Yer-Face restaurants, two (2) Tubby's Express restaurants,
(one of which was operated by a joint venture operating agreement,
and one (1) was owned by the Company), and sixty-three (63) Tubby's
Sub Shops restaurants, (of which two (2) were owned by the Company).
Subsequent to November 30, 1995, one (1) Tubby's Express restaurant
that was owned by the Company was closed. Management also sold a
company-owned Tubby's Sub Shop in the first quarter of 1996, (see
notes #13 and #14 of the consolidated financial statements). The
Tubby's Express restaurant is operated as a licensed department in a
Sears, Roebuck & Company store.
Revenue Recognition
Monthly franchise and advertising fees are recognized based on the
franchisees' sales as earned, except where collection is not deemed
probable.
Initial franchise fees and fees from Area Development Agreements
(ADA'S) are deferred until the Company has substantially met its
obligations under the Franchise Agreement, which is generally at the
time the store is opened. Deferred revenues under ADA's are
recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis as each store opens.
Advances under vendor rebate agreements are deferred and recognized
as revenue over the term of the agreement.
Cash and Equivalents and Certificate of Deposit
Cash and equivalents consist of cash, certificates of deposit, and
commercial paper with maturity dates not exceeding three months.
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
Certificates of deposit with maturity dates exceeding three months
are separately classified on the balance sheet.
Inventories
Inventories include food and equipment held for resale to
franchisees. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily
on a specific identification basis) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
over the useful lives of the assets using the straight line method.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of
tangible assets acquired in the 1990 merger of Stuff-Yer-Face, Inc.
(SYF) and Tubby's, Inc, and the acquisition of a Tubby's Sub Shop in
April, 1995. At the time of the SYF acquisition the goodwill amounted
to $390,134. At the time of the acquisition of the Tubby's Sub Shop
the goodwill amounted to $13,910. The Company amortizes the SYF
goodwill over 40 years and the Tubby's goodwill over 10 years. The
Company reviews goodwill for impairment based upon the estimated
undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the goodwill. If
necessary, impairment will be measured based on the difference
between undiscounted cash flows and the book value of the related
goodwill.
Advertising Costs
The company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.
Advertising expense was approximately $659,000 and $426,000 in 1995
and 1994, respectively.
Taxes on Income
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the
tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares and equivalents. Common
share equivalents included in the computation represent shares
issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options which would have a
materially dilutive effect in years where there are earnings. The
weighted average number of shares outstanding was 23,934,376 and
19,551,725 for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
Reclassifications
Certain 1995 balances have been reclassified for purposes of
comparison.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash
equivalents, certificates of deposit, investments and accounts
receivable. At times such cash and equivalents in banks are in excess
of the respective financial institution's FDIC insurance limit. The
Company attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing all
franchisees' credit history before extending credit and by monitoring
franchisees' credit exposure on a continuing basis. Franchisees
operate restaurants in Michigan, Ohio and New Jersey. The Company
establishes an allowance for possible losses on accounts receivable,
when necessary, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends and other information. The
Company also establishes an allowance for possible losses, when
necessary, for declines in market value of its investments.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (2)
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
2. RELATED PARTIES
Three founding shareholders of the Company are directors, two of whom
are also officers. These shareholders own approximately 27% of the
outstanding common stock. In addition to their responsibilities to
the Company, they also own and operate six franchised Tubby's
restaurants. The following is a summary of activity with these
shareholders and their restaurants as of and for the years ended
November 30, 1995 and 1994.

exchange for 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at
$80,000. On January 17, 1996, the Company sold this location to a new
franchisee who will operate it as a franchised Tubby's restaurant.
This restaurant sold for $83,750 in addition to a franchise transfer
fee of $6,250.

3. INVESTMENTS
Effective December 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Accordingly, the
Company has classified its marketable debt securities into
held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories. Securities
classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost
and available-for-sale are reported at fair market value with
unrealized gains or losses incurred in stockholders' equity. At
November 30, 1995, there were no unrealized gains or losses
reported as cost approximated fair value.
The following information pertains to marketable equity and debt
securities at November 30, 1995:

6. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
In November, 1995, the Company entered into a $250,000 line of
credit with a bank with interest payable at the bank's prime
rate plus one percent. Short-term borrowings are due on demand
and are secured by a blanket lien on all assets of the Company
and a pledged $100,000 certificate of deposit, as well as a
requirement to maintain a $100,000 of collected funds in the
Company's checking accounts. No borrowings were outstanding
under the line of credit at November 30, 1995.
7. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In September, 1991, the Company signed a Joint Venture
Partnership Agreement with Russick, Inc. The Company and
Russick, Inc. each own a 50% interest in the venture known as
The Boli's Companies ("Boli's"). The joint venture was formed to
develop the Boli concept (a full service restaurant concept
similar to Stuff Yer Face). Boli's only restaurant opened in
Atlanta, Georgia in July, 1992. Mr. Richard Elias, Jr., a 50%
owner of Russick, Inc. is also a former Director of Tubby's,
Inc.
On September 27, 1993, the partners ceased operating the
restaurant and the Company provided for the estimated remaining
costs to be incurred. Estimated Joint Venture Liability at
November 30, 1995 and 1994 is $10,000.
The estimated liability for both years is for Tubby's, Inc.'s
share of legal expenses incurred to dissolve the joint venture
and obtain a release from the lease obligation.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which is
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. This
statement allows entities to choose between a new fair value
based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar
equity instruments and the current method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.
Entities electing to remain with the accounting in Opinion No.
25 must make proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value method of accounting had been
applied. The Company expects to continue accounting for employee
stock options in accordance with Opinion No. 25 and has not made
a calculation of the proforma effect due to the complexity
involved with such a calculation.
11. OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases buildings, equipment, and restaurant space
under various operating leases. The future minimum rental
payments, under all operating leases containing minimum annual
rental payments, are as follows:

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In December, 1995, the Company closed a company-owned Tubby's
Express restaurant. A loss of $29,090 was recognized in the
fourth quarter of 1995. In January, 1996, the Company sold one
of its stand alone restaurants for $90,000. The sale consisted
of $25,000 cash and a $65,000 promissory note maturing January
15, 2001. A franchise transfer fee of $6,250 and a gain of
approximately $14,400 will be recognized on the sale in the
first quarter of 1996. Revenues from this restaurant, which was
acquired on April 1, 1995, (see footnote #2 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements), totaled $141,923 in 1995.
In December, 1995, the Company offered to purchase the Tubby's
Sub Shop restaurant equipment of a bankrupted franchisee for
$120,000 comprised of a cash payment of $50,000 and accounts
receivable owed the Company of $70,000. The purchase price of
$120,000 was determined based upon historical valuation methods
used with other outside franchisees. Additionally, the Company
offered to purchase the building and land where this restaurant
is located from its owner for $165,000. The Company believes it
has sufficient liquidity to acquire the restaurant, and the
building and land. Both offers are pending final acceptance by
the other parties involved.
14. ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSAL
During the year ended November 30, 1994, the Company
contemplated the sale of all six of its Tubby's Express
restaurants. At that time, management provided $317,514 for the
expected losses from operations and on disposal of these
locations. In December 1994, Management decided to close three
Tubby's Express restaurants and sell the three remaining Tubby's
Express restaurants. Of these six locations, two restaurants
were sold and two restaurants were closed in 1995. One
additional restaurant was closed in December 1995. An additional
reserve of $29,090 has been recorded in 1995 for the estimated
loss on disposal of this location. The remaining restaurant is
expected to be sold in 1996. No loss is expected to result from
the sale of this store.
The net assets held for disposal have been separately classified
in the accompanying balance sheet for 1995 and 1994. The assets
consist primarily of:

15. LITIGATION
A. Tubby's, Inc. v Alexander P. Bardy. On or about January 6, 1995,
the Company initiated a civil action in the Circuit Court for
the County of Macomb against Alexander P. Bardy, its former
President & CEO. The Complaint seeks reimbursement from the
Defendant for unauthorized expenses and expenditures, money
damages as a result of the Defendant's usurpation of corporate
opportunities, fraudulent misrepresentations, breach of contract
and negligence, and sought a declaratory judgment regarding the
type of stock available to the Defendant pursuant to his Stock
Option Agreement. The Defendant denied any liability to the
Company and filed a "Counter-Complaint/Third-Party Complaint"
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
alleging breach of the Stock Option Agreement against the
Company and the following Officers and/or Directors: Vincent J.
Tatone, Robert M. Paganes, Peter T. Paganes, and J. Thomas
Paganes. Thereafter, the Third-Party Defendants moved to be
dismissed from the "Counter-Complaint/Third- Party Complaint",
which the Court granted in part and denied in part, without
prejudice. The Court dismissed all claims against the
individuals for breach of contract but did not dismiss other
possible claims asserted for the reason that discovery had not
been completed. On October 30, 1995, the Court granted the
Company's Motion for Entry of a Declaratory Judgment regarding
the type of stock available to the Defendant under his stock
option agreement, ordered that Defendant would have 30 days in
which to exercise his options and dismissed the Defendant's
request for injunctive relief. The Defendant did not exercise
those options within the 30 day period. In January of 1996, the
Third-Party Defendants renewed their Motion to Dismiss. On
February 6, 1996, the Court treated this Motion as a Motion for
Reconsideration and granted the Motion, which dismissed all
claims by Mr. Bardy which were asserted in the Third-Party
Complaint and precludes the re-litigation of those claims in any
other action. Presently, the parties are continuing to conduct
discovery. The Company intends to vigorously pursue and defend
the matter and estimates the possibility of an unfavorable
outcome to be remote.
B. Patrick J. McCourt, the Patrick J. McCourt Trust, and McCourt
Corporation, a Michigan corporation v Tubby's, Inc., a New
Jersey corporation, the McTub Company, a Michigan partnership,
Robert M. Paganes, P. Terrance Paganes, J. Thomas Paganes, and
Vincent J. Tatone. On August 17, 1995, a civil action was
commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan by the above named Plaintiffs. Patrick J.
McCourt, as Trustee of the Patrick J. McCourt Trust and as
President of McCourt Corporation, purchased restricted shares of
Tubby's Common Stock pursuant to private placements in June,
July and November of 1993 and formed the McTub Company, a
general partnership with Tubby's in August of 1993 for the
purpose of owning and operating certain quick- service
restaurants. Plaintiffs' Complaint seeks recision of those
transactions and, in connection therewith, alleged violation of
Federal Securities regulations, fraudulent misrepresentation,
violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act, dissolution of partnership and accounting, violation of
Michigan Securities Act, and Michigan's Franchise Investment
Law. Plaintiffs purchased a total of 1.5 million shares at
25(cent)per share for a total purchase price of $375,000 and
Plaintiffs' total investment in the McTub Company was
approximately $400,000. The Company filed an Answer in which it
denied liability to Plaintiffs. In addition, the Company filed a
Cross-Claim against the McTub Company seeking a declaratory
judgment that the Company is entitled to a distribution in the
amount of $105,000.00 prior to any other distributions that may
be made by that Company, and filed Third- Party Complaint
against Alexander P. Bardy, the Company's former President and
Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin J. Sullivan, the Company's
former Chief Financial Officer. In the Third-Party Complaint,
the Company denies any liability to Plaintiffs but asserts,
alternatively, in the event that it is determined to be liable
to Plaintiffs for any amount of money damages, Third-Party
Defendants would be liable to the Company for all such damages,
plus any additional damages sustained by the Company in
connection with the Complaint. The Company intends to zealously
defend against the claims asserted in the Complaint and to
zealously prosecute its Cross-Claim and Third-Party Complaint.
The Company is unable at this time to estimate the probability
of a successful conclusion to the litigation or to estimate the
possible loss to the Company if it is not successful.
C. Alexander P. Bardy v J. Thomas Paganes, Peter T. Paganes, Robert
M. Paganes, and Vincent J. Tatone. On or about January 17, 1996,
after the Court in Tubby's, Inc. v Alexander P. Bardy described
above in item A, denied Mr. Bardy's Motion to Amend his
"Counter-Complaint/Third-Party Complaint", Mr. Bardy filed a
separate action in the Circuit Court for the County of Macomb
against

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
the above named Defendants. This Complaint re-alleges the same
claims asserted by Mr. Bardy in the previously pending action
but adds two additional counts: tortious interference with Mr.
Bardy's Stock Option Agreement and defamation against Defendant
Tatone. On February 6, 1996, when the Court granted the Motion
to Dismiss in the previously pending action, the Court also
ruled that Mr. Bardy would be precluded from re-litigating any
of his claims that were dismissed in that case. The Defendants
in this case are being indemnified by the Company because this
matter arises out of their employment with the Company. They
intend to file an Answer denying any liability to Mr. Bardy and
to summarily dismiss Mr. Bardy's Complaint. The Company
estimates the possibility of a unfavorable outcome to be remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors
Tubby's, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tubby's, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tubby's,
Inc. and Subsidiaries at November 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
