               consolidated financial statements contain all  adjustments
               necessary for  a  fair  presentation of  the  consolidated

               consolidated results of  operations and cash flows for the
               13-week  periods  ended  October  1, 1995  and  October 2,
               1994.  The  condensed consolidated statement of income for

          Results of Operations

              Revenues


              Revenues decreased $1.7 million, or 8.4%, for  the quarter
             ended October 1,  1995 in comparison to the  same quarter in
             the preceding  year.   This decrease is  due primarily  to a
             $2.2  million (10.7%) decline in sales experienced by the 36
             restaurants open for the full  quarter in both fiscal  years

             ( same-stores ).    The  decline  in  same-store  sales  was
             partially  offset by current quarter  sales generated by the
             Bedford,  Texas location which opened  in the second quarter
             of fiscal  1995.   The decline in  same-store sales  was the
             result of a 15.6% decline  in customer counts coupled with a
             5.8% increase in check average. 


             Management attributes  the decline in  same-store customer
             counts to the increased number of restaurants  in the casual
             dining  and  Italian  restaurant  segments,  to  the  normal
             decline  in customer counts  for stores in  their second and
             third year  of  operation, and  to  a planned  reduction  in
             marketing expenditures in comparison to the same  quarter in
             the preceding  year.   Fiscal 1995  first quarter  marketing
             expenditures  were significantly  higher than  normal levels
             due to the  extensive use of television  advertising at that
             time.   The  increase in  same-store  check averages  is the
             result of new menu items added  in the second half of fiscal
             1995 and to  modest price adjustments made  to selected menu
             items over the last 12 months.


            Costs and Expenses

             Cost of Sales

             Cost of sales  as a percentage of revenues  were 24.2% for
             the  current  quarter  as  compared to  25.9%  for  the same
             quarter last  year.   This decrease is  due to  the improved
             inventory  controls,   utilization  of  the   Company s  new
             theoretical  food costing system and  to the current quarter
             increase in same-store check averages.

              Operating Expenses

              Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues  were 57.2%
             for the  current quarter as  compared to 56.7% for  the same
             quarter last year.  Much of this increase as a percentage of
             revenues  is due to  the relatively fixed  nature of certain
             operating  expenses, including  management labor,  occupancy
             costs and property  taxes, relative to the  decline in same-
             store  sales volumes.  These  cost percentage increases were
             offset  somewhat by cost reduction  initiatives in the areas
             of  cashier labor,  worker s  compensation insurance,  group
             medical  expenses  and  security  costs.    Furthermore,  as
             previously discussed, marketing  expenses were substantially
             less than the comparable quarter in the prior year.

              General and Administrative Expenses (G&A)

              G&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.8% for the
             current  quarter as compared  to 6.8%  for the  same quarter
             last year.   In addition  to increases in  professional fees
             and expenses associated  with the  annual general  managers' 
             conference, the relatively fixed nature of coporate labor
             costs, relative to the decline in same-store  sales volumes,
             caused the  increase in G&A  costs as a percentage  of total

             revenues.   These  increases  were partially  offset  by the
             prior year write-off of certain previously incurred costs in
             searching for  new locations  no longer under  consideration
             for Company-owned restaurant expansion. 
               

              Depreciation and Amortization (D&A)

              D&A as a percentage of  revenues were 6.8% for the current
             quarter as compared to 6.7%  for the same quarter last year.
             This  increase  as  a  percentage  of  revenues  is  due  to
             depreciation  expense incurred  on  new point-of-sale  (POS)
             equipment installed in 21 units  over the last 12 months and
             to  the fixed nature of depreciation relative to the decline
             in same-store sales volumes.  These increases were offset by
             a decrease in pre-opening expense amortization on new stores
             resulting  from  a  reduction  in  the  Company s  new  unit
             expansion rate.


              The  Company incurred  net  interest  expense of  $250,318
             during  the current quarter compared  to $288,908 during the
             same quarter  last year.   This decrease is attributed  to a
             decrease  in average  debt outstanding  under  the Company s
             credit facilities  in comparison  to the  same quarter  last
             year. 


             Income Taxes

              The Company s  effective tax  rate for  the quarter  ended
             October  1, 1995  was 16.6%  compared to  23.5% in  the same
             quarter  last  year.    These  tax  rates  were  lower  than
             statutory rates as  a result of the use of  the FICA tip tax
             credit  in the  current quarter  and  the targeted  jobs tax
             credit and the FICA tip tax  credit in the same quarter last
             year.  The Company was unable  to use the targeted jobs  tax
             credit in the current quarter because the program expired on
             December 31, 1994.  The  decrease in the effective rate from
             the prior year is due primarily to a tax benefit recorded in
             the  first quarter of  the current year  for Canadian income
             taxes.


             Liquidity and Capital Resources

              The Company s  working capital deficit decreased from $2.6
             million at July 2, 1995 to  $2.4 million at October 1, 1995,
             due to  the payout of  fiscal 1995 bonuses during  the first
             quarter  of fiscal  1996  and to  the  timing of  period-end
             payments  of salaries and  wages.  The  Company is currently
             operating with a working capital deficit, which is common in
             the restaurant  industry, since restaurant  companies do not
             normally require  significant investment in  either accounts
             receivable or inventory.

              Net cash provided  by operating activities  increased from
             $0.4 million for  the quarter ended October 2,  1994 to $0.9
             million for  the current fiscal  quarter.  This  increase is
             due primarily  to changes in  certain components  of working
             capital,  including  an  increase  in  accounts  payable,  a
             decrease  in  income  taxes  receivable  and,  a  decline in
             accrued  payroll  and  bonuses  in  comparison  to  the same
             quarter last year. 

              Long-term  debt outstanding at  October 1,  1995 consisted
             primarily of a $15.0 million  fixed rate term loan and $0.25
             million  borrowed   against  the  Company s   floating  rate
             revolving credit  facility.  The  Company had  an additional
             $13.85  million   available  under  this   revolving  credit
             facility at October 1, 1995.

              Capital expenditures  were  $1.1 million  for the  quarter
             ended October  2, 1995 as  compared to $1.3 million  for the
             same quarter  last year.   Fiscal 1996  expenditures consist
             primarily of renovations and additions made to four existing
             restaurants,   costs   of  replacing   point-of-sale   (POS)
             equipment  in five restaurants, and  the normal purchases of
             new and  replacement restaurant  equipment and  decor.   The
             higher capital expenditures  in fiscal 1995 were  due to the
             construction costs relating to the Bedford restaurant.

              In  fiscal  1994,   the  Company s   Board  of   Directors
             authorized a program  for the repurchase of up  to 1,000,000
             shares  of  the  Company s   common  stock  for   investment
             purposes.    As   of  October  2,  1995,   the  Company  had
             repurchased  751,157  shares  of  common  stock  under  this
             program since its inception.  The Company did not repurchase
             any shares during the first quarter of fiscal 1996; however,
             the   Company  repurchased   an  additional   24,800  shares
             subsequent to  October 2,  1995.   Further repurchases  with
             respect to this program are dependent upon  various business
             and financial considerations. 


              The  re-engineered  version   of  the  Company s  existing
             concept opened  in Marietta,  Georgia on  November 1,  1995,
             under the  name  Spaghetti  Warehouse Italian  Grill.    The
             Marietta  restaurant  underwent  a  renovation  in  both the
             dining  room and kitchen,  while the menu  was expanded with
             the  addition  of  new   items  including  grilled  entrees,
             sandwiches, pizza and new appetizers.  Furthermore, existing
             menu items were reformulated to enhance taste  profiles, and
             portion  sizes were  increased  to  improve the  price/value
             relationship offered to the customer.  Subject  to operating
             results achieved in Marietta, additional Spaghetti Warehouse
             locations may be converted over the next 12 months.  

              In  a separate endeavor,  the Company is  developing a new
             concept  called  Cappellini s,   which will  feature freshly
             prepared, made-from-scratch Italian  recipes, served  family
             style   on large platters and bowls.  The first Cappellini s
             is  scheduled to open  in January 1996  in the Company-owned
             location in Addison, Texas.  The Addison Spaghetti Warehouse
             was closed on October 23,  1995 to undergo conversion to the
             Cappellini s concept.

              In  addition to these  two projects, the  Company plans to
             continue to make necessary replacements and upgrades  to its
             existing restaurants and information systems.  Total planned
             capital  expenditures relating  to all  projects during  the
             next  12 months are  approximately $3.5 million.   Cash flow
             from operations,  current cash balances  and funds available
             under the Company s revolving  credit facility are  expected
             to be  sufficient to fund  planned capital  expenditures and
             the share repurchase program for the next 12 months.

                             PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



             Item 1.                Legal Proceedings

              On October 18,  1995, a former restaurant  employee of the
             Company filed  a suit in  the 44th  Judicial District  Court,
             Dallas  County,  Texas,  alleging wrongful  termination,  or
             alternatively, breach  of contract,   by  the Company.   The
             claimant is seeking $1,450,000  in compensatory and punitive
             damages.  The Company plans to vigorously defend the lawsuit
             and believes the allegations made by the former employee are
             without merit.



             Item 4.Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

              The Company held its annual meeting of shareholders on
             October 31, 1995.  At such meeting the shareholders elected
             directors of the Company as follows:
