ARK RESTAURANTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)                                                     

1.  CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  have been  prepared  by Ark
Restaurants Corp. (the "Company"),  without audit. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring  adjustments and the change
in  accounting  principle  referred to below)  necessary  to present  fairly the
financial  position  at April 1, 1995 and results of  operations  and changes in
cash flows for the periods ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994 have been made.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed  financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto  included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended October 1, 1994.  The results of operations  for the period ended April 1,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

In October 1994, the Company  acquired in a cash  transaction a four-star French
restaurant  in Manhattan for  $1,000,000  plus the purchase of  inventories  for
approximately  $307,000.  The Company also  entered into a consulting  agreement
with the former  owner  whereby  such  former  owner is  entitled  to a share of
defined cash flow. The Company  guaranteed  such former owner an amount not less
than  $500,000  in total  for the  first  five  years.  The  purchase  price was
allocated to fixed assets  ($400,000)  and  intangible  assets  (covenant not to
compete: $600,000 and goodwill: $500,000).

In November 1994, the Company  acquired a restaurant and bar in the Florida Keys
for $1,350,000 and acquired  inventories and supplies of approximately  $70,000.
The Company  paid cash of  $750,000  and issued a note for  $600,000  payable in
monthly installments of $7,044, inclusive of interest until September 1, 1999 at
which time the  remaining  balance  outstanding  is due.  The debt is secured by
machinery and equipment,  inventories,  supplies and tangible personal property.
The  purchase  price was  allocated to fixed assets  ($850,000)  and  intangible
assets (goodwill: $310,000 and a covenant not to compete: $100,000).

3.  INCOME TAXES

The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")  issued  Statement  No.109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No.109") in 1992. This statement  supersedes
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No.11 and SFAS No.96 and requires an asset
and liability approach for financial  accounting and reporting for income taxes.
The Company has adopted  SFAS No.109  effective  October 3, 1993.  As  permitted
under SFAS No.109, prior period financial statements have not been restated. The
cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No.109 on the Company's financial  statements
for the  13-week  period  ended  January 1, 1994 was to  increase  net income by
$508,000 or $.16 per share.

4.  INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Per share data is based  upon the  weighted  average  number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents  outstanding during each period; common stock
equivalents  consist of dilutive stock  options.  For the periods ended April 1,
1995 and April 2, 1994,  fully  diluted  net income per common  share and common
share equivalent is not shown since the effect is not material.

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

NET SALES

Net sales at restaurants  and bars owned by the Company  increased  27.4% in the
13-week  period  ended April 1, 1995 from the  comparable  period ended April 2,
1994 and  increased  16.2% in the  26-week  period  ended April 1, 1995 from the
comparable  period  last year.  The  increase  in net sales for the  13-week and
26-week  periods was due primarily to sales from  restaurants  which the Company
did not operate in the comparable period last year (LUTECE, LOR-E-LEI, B.SMITH'S
in Washington,  D.C. and AMERICA, in McLean,  Virginia). Same store sales in the
26-week  period ended April 1, 1995  increased 1.6% as compared to last year and
same store sales in the 13-week period increased 2.7% as compared to last year.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

The  Company's  cost of  sales  consists  only of food  and  beverage  costs  at
restaurants and bars owned by the Company. For the 13-week period ended April 1,
1995 cost of sales as a  percentage  of net sales was 28.3% as compared to 29.1%
last year and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the 26-week  period
ended April 1, 1995 was 27.9% as compared to 28.2% last year.

Operating expenses of the Company,  consisting of restaurant payroll,  occupancy
and other expenses at restaurants and bars owned by the Company, as a percentage
of net sales,  were 74.7% for the 13-week period ended April 1, 1995 as compared
to 76.6% last year and for the 26-week  period ended April 1, 1995 were 69.9% as
compared to 68.4% last year. This decrease in operating expenses as a percentage
of net sales in the 13-week  period ended April 1, 1995 as compared to last year
was principally due to payroll  expenses which decreased to 39.0% as compared to
40.6% last year.

General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 7.4% for
the 13-week period ended April 1, 1995 as compared to 8.8% last year and for the
26-week  period  ended April 1, 1995 were 7.0% as compared to 7.5% last year. If
net  sales  at managed restaurants  and bars  were included  in consolidated net
sales,  general and administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales  would
have been 6.5% for the  13-week  period  ended April 1, 1995 as compared to 7.7%
last year and would have been 6.1% for the 26-week period ended April 1, 1995 as
compared to 6.4% last year.

The Company  incurred a net loss of $482,000 for the 13-week  period ended April
1, 1995 as compared to a net loss of

                                       6
<PAGE>

$1,027,000  for the same period last year and had a net loss of $191,000 for the
26-week  period  ended April 1, 1995 as  compared to a net loss of $74,000  last
year. The net loss for the 13-week  period ended April 2, 1994 includes  charges
of  approximately  $300,000  from a  write-off  of  unrecoverable  advances to a
managed  restaurant in North Miami Beach,  which the Company no longer  manages,
and from the  write-down  of a  discontinued  New York catering  operation.  Net
income for the 26-week period ended April 2, 1994 includes a benefit of $508,000
from the  cumulative  effect of the Company's  change in  accounting  for income
taxes.

During the  13-week  periods  ended  April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994 the Company
managed five  restaurants  and one bar owned by third parties.  Net sales of the
five managed  restaurants  and bars were  $2,054,000  during the 13-week  period
ended  April 1, 1995 as  compared  to  $1,979,000  last year and net sales  were
$4,564,000  during  the  26-week  period  ended  April 1,  1995 as  compared  to
$4,397,000  last year. Net sales of these  restaurants and bars are not included
in consolidated net sales.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes  reflects  Federal  income taxes  calculated on a
consolidated  basis  and  state  and  local  income  taxes  calculated  by  each
subsidiary on a non-consolidated basis. Most of the restaurants owned or managed
by the  Company  are owned or managed by a  separate  subsidiary.  For state and
local income tax purposes,  the losses incurred by a subsidiary may only be used
to offset that subsidiary's  income, with the exception of the restaurants which
operate  in  the  District  of  Columbia.  Accordingly,  the  Company's  overall
effective  rate has  varied  depending  on the level of the losses  incurred  at
individual subsidiaries.

As a result of the  enactment  of the Revenue  Reconciliation  Act of 1993,  the
Company is entitled,  commencing  January 1, 1994,  to a tax credit based on the
amount of FICA  taxes  paid by the  Company  with  respect  to the tip income of
restaurant service personnel.  The Company estimates that this credit will be in
excess of $200,000 for the current year.

The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")  issued  Statement  No.109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.109") in 1992. This statement supersedes
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No.11 and SFAS No.96 and requires an asset
and liability  approach for financial  accounting and reporting of income taxes.
The  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.109 at the  beginning  of the prior  fiscal year
(October  3,  1993) and the  cumulative  effect  was to  increase  net income by
$508,000 in the 26-week period ended April 2, 1994.


                                       7

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company's primary source of capital is cash provided by operations and funds
available from the $4,250,000 revolving credit agreement with its main bank. The
Company  utilizes  capital  primarily to fund the cost of developing and opening
new restaurants and acquiring existing restaurants.

In August  1994,  the  Company  and its main bank  agreed  to an  extension  and
increase of the existing Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility.  The agreement
enables the Company to borrow up to $4,250,000 until December 31, 1996, at which
time  outstanding  loans may be converted  into term loans payable in 36 monthly
installments  through  December  31,  1999.  At April 1,  1995 the  Company  had
borrowings outstanding of $3,750,000 under this agreement.  The Company also has
a Letter of Credit  Facility on which the Company had  delivered  $1,965,130  in
irrevocable  letters of credit in lieu of lease security  deposits.  The Company
believes  that it has  sufficient  working  capital  sources  for its  presently
anticipated business needs.

At April 1, 1995,  the Company had working  capital of $202,000 as compared to a
working  capital of $1,517,000  at October 1, 1994.  The  significant  change in
working capital is principally due to two restaurant  acquisitions  completed in
fiscal 1995 (LUTECE and LOR-E-LEI) and construction for a  restaurant  scheduled
to open in the third fiscal quarter of 1995 (BRYANT PARK GRILL).

The amount of indebtedness that may be incurred by the Company is limited by the
revolving  credit  agreement  with  its main  bank.  Certain  provisions  of the
agreement may impair the Company's ability to borrow funds.

RESTAURANT EXPANSION

The Company is currently  constructing  a restaurant in Bryant Park,  which is a
nine-acre  park  located  behind the New York City Public  Library  (BRYANT PARK
GRILL).  This  restaurant,  which will have 200 indoor seats,  open-air  rooftop
dining with 175 seats,  outdoor  seating on terraces  with 700 seats and outdoor
bar facilities,  is scheduled to open in the third quarter of the current fiscal
year.  The landlord of this location is  contributing  $750,000 to  construction
costs of this restaurant, while the Company expects to spend up to $3,500,000 to
open the restaurant.  The Company  previously opened three food kiosks in Bryant
Park and has subleased the kiosks to third parties.

In the first fiscal quarter of 1995, the Company  completed two  acquisitions--a
four-star  French  restaurant in New York City (LUTECE) and a casual  restaurant
and bar in the Florida Keys

                                       8

<PAGE>

(LOR-E-LEI).  The Company also opened  another  restaurant  in Union  Station in
Washington, D.C. (B.SMITH'S, the Company's second such restaurant).  The Company
spent  approximately  $3,200,000  on  these  projects  which  were  financed  by
utilizing existing working capital, drawing on the existing bank credit line and
the issuance of a purchase money note.

Although  the Company is not  currently  committed  to any other  projects,  the
Company is exploring additional opportunities for expansion of its business. The
Company expects to fund its existing  projects  through cash from operations and
existing credit facilities. Additional expansion may require additional external
financing.
