                    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


                                  July 30, 2000


(1)  Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amarillo
       Mesquite Grill, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant
       intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(2)  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 twenty six week period ended July
       30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
       expected for the year ended January 28, 2001.  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, 2000.

(3)  Net Earnings Per Share
     The Company, as required under FASB Statement no. 128, Earnings Per Share,
       calculates and presents both a basic and diluted earnings per share in
       the financial statements. Earnings per common share is computed on the
       basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
       during each period presented.  The Company has granted options to
       employees to purchase 1,304,025 shares of common stock at a weighted
       average exercise price of $1.96 per share.  These options were not
       included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
       exercise price of those options exceeded the average  market price of
       the common shares during the quarter.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended July 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended August 1,
1999.

For the three months ended July 30, 2000, sales increased 15.8% to $5,127,450
as compared to $4,429,388 for the second quarter of the prior year.  As of
July 30, 2000, the Company operated fourteen Amarillo Mesquite Grills as
compared to twelve Amarillo Mesquite Grills as of August 1, 1999.

     Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 34.2% for the quarter
ended July 30, 2000, as compared to 34.4% for the second quarter of the prior
year.

     Operating expenses, as a percentage of total sales, were 53.2% and 48.3%
for the 2000 and 1999 periods respectively.  The increase in operating expense
is due to an increase in promotional costs related to various programs
designed to increase customer counts and same store sales.  In addition,
during the second quarter ended July 30, 2000, the Company incurred
approximately $77,000 in pre-opening costs relating to a new restaurant which
opened the first day of the third quarter.

     General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 5.7%
for the quarter ended July 30, 2000, as compared to 6.9% for the second quarter
of the prior year. The decrease in general and administrative, as a percentage
of sales, is the result of increasing sales while maintaining the dollar amount
of expense at a fairly constant level for both periods.

     Depreciation and amortization is directly related to the acquisition and
disposition of fixed assets.  The investment in fixed assets increased
approximately $882,547 from the end of the second quarter last year to the end
of the second quarter of the current year. Consequently, depreciation and
amortization increased.

     Interest expense was $166,604 for the quarter ended July 30, 2000 as
compared to $160,045 for the same period a year ago.  Interest expense is a
function of the interest rate and the amount of debt.  While the interest rate
has increased over the past few months, the amount of short and long-term debt
has decreased.  Consequently, interest expense has remained relatively
constant.

     The Company incurred noncash expenses of $24,460 for the 2000 and 1999
periods respectively, relating to the issuance of stock options pursuant to
debt guarantees.

Six Months Ended July 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended August 1, 1999.

     For the six months ended July 30, 2000, sales increased 18.7% to
$10,756,803 as compared to sales of $9,060,230 for the first six months of
the prior year. The Company operated fourteen Amarillo Mesquite Grills as
of July 30, 2000, as compared to twelve Amarillo Mesquite Grills as of
August 1, 1999.

     Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 34.2% and 34.4% for
the 2000 and 1999 periods respectively.

     Operating expense, as a percentage of total sales, was 51.9% and 47.9% for
the 2000 and 1999 periods respectively.  The increase in operating expense is
due to an increase in promotional costs related to various programs designed
to increase customer counts and same store sales.  In addition, during the six
months ended July 30, 2000, the Company incurred approximately $77,000 in pre-
opening costs relating to a new restaurant which opened the first day of the
third quarter.

six months of the prior year.  The decrease in general and administrative
expense, as a percentage of sales, is the result of increasing sales while

     Interest expense was $326,110 for the six months ended July 30, 2000, as
compared to $320,398 for the same period a year ago.  Interest expense is a
function of the interest rate and the amount of debt.  While the interest rate
has increased over the past few months, the amount of short and long-term debt
has decreased.  Consequently, interest expense has remained relatively
constant.

     The Company incurred noncash expenses of $48,920 for the 2000 and 1999
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 from bank debt.  On July 30,
2000 and January 30, 2000, the Company had an excess of current liabilities
over current assets of $7,523,578 and $1,803,342, respectively.  However
included as a current liability as of July 30, 2000 is a bank note payable in
the amount of $5,904,586 which is due April 15, 2001.  Management expects to
renew the note on April 15, 2001 and commence making monthly principal
payments based on a 60 month amortization period.  Cash flow from operations
$535,241 and $433,037 for 2000 and 1999 respectively.  Management anticipates
higher cash flow from operations in fiscal 2001 and that such higher operating
cash flow will enable the Company to meet its financial obligations in fiscal
2001 as they come due.

     On May 12, 1998, the President of the Company loaned the Company $250,000
to fund construction cost overages.  The note was an unsecured 10% demand note
due January 1, 1999.  As of July 30, 2000, the note had a balance of $104,356
and has been renewed with a due date of January 3, 2001.  Although the
Company's President has made loans to the Company in the past, there is no
assurance that he will make additional loans in the future.

     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 2001.  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 has no commitments for financing at this time. In
order for the Company to meet its expansion goals for fiscal 2001, it may 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.

     The Company has restructured its long-term bank debt to provide for
interest only payments through April 15, 2001.  The purpose of the
restructuring is to use cash flow to open additional restaurants that would
otherwise be used to retire long term debt.  Management views this as a way
to continue our growth, that should result in increased future earnings and
cash flow, but do so without increasing bank debt.
