                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (Unaudited)


                                May 2, 1999


(1) Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
      interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
      Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
      the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
      principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
      management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
      considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
      Operating results for the three month period ended May 2, 1999 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
      ended January 30, 2000.  For further information, refer to the
      consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
      Company's 10-K and Annual Report to Stockholders as filed on April 23,
      1999.

(2) Net Earnings Per Share
    In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
      Earnings Per Share (Statement 128) which replaces the prior accounting
      standard regarding computation and presentation of earnings per share.
      Statement 128 requires a dual presentation of basic earnings per share
      (based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding) and
      diluted earnings per share which reflects the potential dilution that
      could occur if contracts to issue securities (such as stock options)
      were exercised.  The Company adopted Statement 128 as of January 25,
      1998 and, accordingly, earnings per share data for all periods presented
      has been computed in accordance with Statement 128.  The adoption of
      Statement 128 had no impact on the Company's previously reported loss
      per share data.

    Options to purchase common stock were not included in the computation of
      diluted earnings per common share because the market price of the common
      stock was in excess of the exercise price and the inclusion of such
      options would be antidilutive.  As of May 2, 1999, there are 1,111,725
      options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $2.59 which
      may become dilutive in the future.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operation.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended May 2, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended April 26, 1998.

    For the three months ended May 2, 1999, sales were $4,630,842 as compared
to sales of $5,431,041 for the first quarter of the prior year.  As of May 2,
1999, the Company operated twelve Amarillo Mesquite Grills as compared to
twelve Amarillo Mesquite Grills and one Cotton Patch Cafe as of April 26, 1998.
Of the $800,199 decrease in sales, approximately $418,000 was due to
restaurants operated during the quarter a year ago that were not open during
the current quarter.  The remainder can be attributed to several factors
including increased competition in most markets and due to comparing current
sales levels with high opening sales volumes of a year ago from new
restaurants.

    Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 34.4% and 37.9% for the
1999 and 1998 periods respectively.  The decrease in cost of sales, as a
percentage of sales, was the result of implementing a new menu during the third
quarter of last year resulting in an improvement in cost of sales of 3.5%.

    Operating expenses, as a percentage of total sales, were 47.5% and 47.0%
for the 1999 and 1998 periods respectively.

    General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 6.7% for
the quarter ended May 2, 1999, as compared to 7.6% for the first quarter of the
prior year.  The decrease in general and administrative, as a percentage of
total sales, is the result of reducing the dollar amount of general and
administrative expenses, principally, training labor and area management
expense.

    Depreciation and amortization is directly related to the acquisition and
disposition of fixed assets.  Fixed assets and the related depreciation expense
remained relatively constant during the current quarter as compared to a year
ago.

    Interest expense was $160,353 for the quarter ended May 2, 1999 as compared
to $159,126 for the same period a year ago.  The Company's short and long-term
debt and interest rate remained relatively constant during the current quarter
as compared to a year ago.

    The Company incurred noncash expenses of $24,460 for the 1999 and 1998
periods respectively, relating to the issuance of stock options pursuant to
debt guarantees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's primary sources of funding to finance its business have been
its cash flow from operations, and proceeds principally from long term debt.
On May 2, 1999 and January 31, 1999, the Company had an excess of current
liabilities over current assets of $2,693,318 and $2,939,517, respectively.
Management anticipates being able to sustain the current level of trade payable
financing and higher cash flow from operations in fiscal 2000 and that such
higher operating cash flow will enable the Company to meet its financial
obligations in fiscal 2000 as they come due. Cash flow from operations was
$204,646 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to cash flow of $266,835
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

    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 operations are not significant.

    The Company plans to continue expansion of the Amarillo Mesquite Grill
concept in fiscal 2000.  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 $1.3 million for the land, building and
equipment.  The Company is holding discussions with an investment banking firm
regarding a private placement of convertible securities which would enable the
Company to open approximately eight to ten new Amarillo Grill restaurants.  The
company has no commitments for financing at this time.  In order for the
Company to meet its expansion goals for fiscal 2000, it will need to raise
additional funds through debt or equity instruments, the availability and terms
of which will depend upon market and other conditions.  There can be no
assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable
to the Company.

Year 2000

    The Company maintains an outsourcing agreement for its accounting software
and has been advised that its outsourcer is capable of processing in the year
2000.  Three of the Company's restaurants operate on a different point of sale
system that has not been assessed, while the restaurants' point of sale system
for all the remaining restaurants is believed to be year 2000 compliant.  Other
various restaurant equipment has not been assessed to determine if it is date
sensitive and possibly out of compliance.  Any computer system that is not year
2000 compliant could potentially be disruptive to the Company's operations, but
actual impact has not been determined.

    This report contains certain forward-looking statements, including those
relating to the opening of additional restaurants and planned capital
expenditures.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying
the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, actual results
could differ materially from such forward-looking statements.  In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company that objectives and plans of the Company will be
achieved.
