ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATION. 

GENERAL

    Over the past year the Company has taken major steps toward reorganizing
and changing the direction  of the Company in terms of moving away from low
volume fast food restaurants and towards high volume full service restaurants. 
Due to differences in volume and the nature of the business, the operating
results, expressed as percentage of sales, can be substantially different for
fast food as compared to a full service restaurant.

    In addition, over the past eighteen months the number of restaurants
operated by the Company has changed substantially as follows:
                                                  Cotton        Amarillo
                                  Grandy's      Patch Cafe       Grill

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 28, 1996.

    For the three months ended July 27, 1997, sales increased 7.1% to $3,549,776
as compared to sales of $3,314,884 for the second quarter of the prior year.  As
of July 27, 1997, the Company operated eight Amarillo Mesquite Grills and three
Cotton Patch Cafes as compared to four Amarillo Mesquite Grills, eight Grandy's
restaurants and seven Cotton Patch Cafes as of April 28, 1996.  

    Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 37.2% and 33.0% for the
1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The increase in cost of sales, as a
percentage of total sales, is the result of a change in direction by the Company
from fast food restaurants such as our Grandy's which historically have had a
31.0% cost of sales to an upscale, full service restaurant concept, Amarillo
Mesquite Grill, which has a higher cost of sales.

     Operating expenses, as a percentage of total sales, was 51.4% and 58.0% for
the 1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The decrease in operating expense, as a
percentage of total sales, is the result of operating more Amarillo Mesquite
Grills which have a higher sales volume and lower operating costs than the
Grandy's restaurants which were sold during the first quarter of the current
year.

     General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total sales, was 
13.1% and 7.0% for the 1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The increase in 
general and administrative expense, as a percentage of total sales, can be 
attributed to recruiting and training expenses relating to expansion of the 
Amarillo Mesquite Grill concept.  During the quarter the Company incurred 
approximately $246,000 in recruiting  and training expenses relating to the 
development of management personnel for future restaurants.     

    The increase in the dollar amount of interest expense from 1996 to 1997 is
the result of an increase in bank debt relating to new store development and the
acquisition of four Amarillo Grills.

     The Company incurred noncash expenses of $24,460 in the first quarter
related to the issuance of stock options pursuant to debt guarantees.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 27, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS JULY 26, 1996.

    For the six months ended July 27, 1997, sales increased 22.6% to $7,452,424
as compared to sales of $6,077,200 for the six months ended July 28, 1996.  As
of July 27, 1997, the Company operated eight Amarillo Mesquite Grills and three
Cotton Patch Cafes as compared to four Amarillo Grills, eight Grandy's
restaurants and seven Cotton Patch Cafes as of July 28, 1997.

    Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 36.9% and 32.5% for the
1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The higher cost of sales, as a percentage
of total sales, can be attributed to the Amarillo Mesquite Grill restaurants
which operate at a higher cost of sales percentage than do the Grandy's or
Cotton Patch Cafes.

    Operating expenses, as a percentage of total sales was 53.9% and 59.1% for
the 1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The decrease in operating expense, as
percentage of total sales, was the result of operating more Amarillo Mesquite
Grills which have a higher sales volume and lower operating costs than the
Grandy's restaurants which were sold during the first quarter of the current
year.

    General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total sales, was
12.3% and 5.9% for the 1997 and 1996 periods respectively.  The increase in
general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total sales, can be
attributed to recruiting and training expenses relating to expansion of the
Amarillo Mesquite Grill concept.  During the first six months ending July 27,
1997, the Company incurred approximately $457,000 in recruiting and training
expense relating to the development of management personnel for future
restaurants.

    The increase in the dollar amount of interest expense from 1996 to 1997 is
the result of an increase in bank debt relating to new store development and the
acquisition of four Amarillo Mesquite Grills.

    The Company incurred noncash expenses of $48,920 in the first quarter
related to the issuance of stock options pursuant to debt guarantees.
                        
    The Company has determined that it is in its best interest to focus its
efforts and financial resources on the Amarillo Grill concept.  Therefore,
effective March 24, 1997, the Company sold to Red Apple Corporation all of the
assets of the eight Grandy's restaurants owned and operated by the Company.  Red
Apple Corporation is owned by five individuals, four of which are officers and
directors of the Company.  The consideration received for these assets consisted
of $435,000 in cash.  Red Apple Corporation also assumed the lease obligations
associated with these restaurants.  The Company recognized a gain of
approximately $254,000 on this disposition.  The sales price was computed as
three times last year's store level cash flow before overhead or administrative
expenses.
                                                            
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of funds to finance its business have been
its cash flow from operations, and proceeds from the sale of the Company's
common stock.  At July 27, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$4,268,557 compared to working capital deficit of $2,230,451 as of January 26,
1997.  The Company does have available $500,000 of unused funds from a
$3,500,000 bank line of credit.  While the line of credit expires in June 1998,
management anticipates the loan agreement will be renewed at that time under
comparable terms.

 Substantially, all of the Company's revenues are derived from cash sales.  The
Company does not maintain significant receivables and inventories; therefore,
working capital requirements for continuing operations are not significant.

    Additions to property and equipment represent the single largest use of
funds by the Company.   The expenditures are primarily made for the purchase and
development of new restaurants.  Capital expenditures were $1,975,860 for six
months ended July 27, 1997, compared to $911,865 for the six months ended 
July 28, 1996.  These capital expenditures have resulted in an increase in
property and equipment and a decrease in working capital. 

                                          7
<PAGE>

     The Company plans to continue expansion of the Amarillo Mesquite Grill
concept in fiscal 1998.  The Company intends to lease existing restaurant
properties which are suitable for conversion to the Amarillo Mesquite Grill
concept.  It is expected that each conversion will require approximately
$300,000 to $500,000 for equipment and remodel costs.  A ground-up proto-type
restaurant will cost approximately $1.7 million for the land, building and
equipment.  New restaurants will be financed with proceeds received as a result
of bank debt.                                                                  
    The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but
rather intends to retain all available funds for the development of the
business.
