                       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Note 1:  Financial Statement Presentation

     The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
     accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
     information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
     principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
     financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K

     twenty-four weeks ended 3/20/94 have been restated to reflect changes
     effective with Form 10-K as of 10/2/94.

     The accompanying financial statements have not been examined by independent
     accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but
     in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjust-
     ments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to summarize
     fairly the financial position of Rudy's Restaurant Group, Inc. and
     Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 19, 1995 and the results of
     operations for the twenty-four weeks ended March 19, 1995 and March 20,
     1994. The results of operations for the period ended March 19, 1995 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  

     BUSINESS. Rudy's Restaurant Group, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Nevada
     corporation which, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns and operates
     six Japanese-style steak and seafood restaurants. The Company owns 100% of
     the stock of The Samurai, Inc. ("The Samurai"), Maxwell's International
     Inc. ("Maxwell's") and Rudy's Sirloin Steakburgers, Inc. ("Rudy's").

     INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE.  Income (loss) per share is calculated using the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common
     stock equivalents if dilutive. 


     Note 2: Contingencies

     In May 1995 the Company's Samurai subsidiary and certain employees of The
     Samurai were served with a lawsuit alleging discrimination under the Civil
     Rights Act of 1870, 42 U.S.C. 1981, as amended (1992 Supp). The lawsuit
     seeks various remedies including monetary damages of $800,000. Management
     believes that the claims as set forth in this complaint are without merit
     and intends to vigorously defend the allegations made against The Samurai
     and its employees. The significance of the complaint and its ultimate
     effect on the operations and financial condition of the Company cannot be
     determined at this time.

     PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

                                   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   ---------------------

     SECOND QUARTER 1995 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1994

     BUSINESS OVERVIEW.  The Company's Miami Samurai restaurant, destroyed by
     Hurricane Andrew in August 1992, reopened in March 1994. Thus revenues,
     expenses and earnings in fiscal 1995 include the operations of six
     restaurants as compared to five restaurants in fiscal 1994. Certain
     discussion and analysis herein is presented as "same-restaurant" for an
     accurate understanding of the Company's current operations. 

     Although costs and expenses rose, improved sales and reductions in
     restaurant operating expenses resulted in a $57,000 increase in net income
     in the second quarter fiscal 1995 to $281,000, $.08 per share, as compared
     to $224,000, $.06 per share in the second quarter fiscal 1994.

     REVENUES.  Total revenues increased $742,000, 37.5%, including sales at the
     Miami restaurant. Same-restaurant sales increased 5.9%, including a 4.4%
     increase in customer traffic. The balance of the increase in sales is the
     result of both higher menu prices and a change in customer eating habits to
     higher priced menu items.

     Because of the limited number and diverse geographic location of its
     restaurants, it is not economically beneficial for the Company to use
     extensive mass-media advertising available to larger restaurant companies.
     In addition to being highly competitive, the restaurant industry is
     affected by changes in the public's eating habits and local and national
     economic conditions. Therefore, management believes the increase in
     revenues in 1995 does not necessarily represent a trend but rather
     parallels economic conditions in the areas in which the Company's
     restaurants are located.


     COSTS AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO REVENUES.

                                                       PERCENT OF REVENUES     
                   COSTS AND EXPENSES:             FY 1995    FY 1994    Change
                   -------------------             ----------------------------
                   Food, beverage and supplies      29.5%      28.8%       .7% 
                   Labor and related costs          23.3%      22.5%       .8% 
                                                   ----------------------------
                                                    52.8%      51.3%      1.5% 
                                                   ============================

     While food, beverage and supplies costs rose .7% when compared to revenues,
     on a per customer served basis these costs rose 4.6%. Substantially all of
     the increase in food, beverage and supplies costs is attributable to
     increases in the cost of the major components of the Company's foods costs,
     including an average 18.8% increase in the cost of seafood and an average
     increase in the cost of meat of over 11%. The cost of meat, chicken and
     seafood changes with market supply and demand. Current market conditions
     indicate that these costs will continue to increase in the third quarter
     1995. 
     <PAGE>                                     PAGE 5<PAGE>

     Labor costs increased .8% to 23.3% in the second quarter 1995 as compared
     to 22.5% in 1994. Although a portion of the increase in labor costs is
     attributable to the high cost of labor at the Miami restaurant, labor costs
     have risen as a result of increases in base wage rates at other locations
     to meet local prevailing wage scales. Management expects labor costs to
     remain at current levels or increase as the economy improves making higher
     base wage rates necessary to retain qualified personnel.

     RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses include
     restaurant management and supervision, occupancy costs, repairs and
     maintenance, utilities, advertising and property and liability insurance.
     These expenses increased in the second quarter fiscal 1995 due to the
     addition of the Miami operations. Same-restaurant expenses as a percent of
     revenues declined 1.8% in the second quarter 1995 as compared to the second
     quarter 1994 due to improved cost containment.

     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Administrative expenses declined $7,000 in the
     second quarter 1995 as compared to the second quarter 1994. This decrease
     is primarily the result of costs incurred in 1994 to develop a plan for the
     Company's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and a
     modest reduction in professional fees in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal
     1994.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). The accompanying statement of operations for the
     second quarter fiscal 1994 includes $71,600 representing proceeds from
     business interruption insurance for estimated profits lost as a result of
     Hurricane Andrew, net of continuing expenses incurred during the second
     quarter fiscal 1994. This deferred income was fully amortized in the third
     quarter fiscal 1994.


     TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED MARCH 19, 1995 COMPARED TO TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED
     MARCH 20, 1994

     BUSINESS OVERVIEW. Net income for the twenty-four weeks ended March 19,
     1995 is $431,000, $.12 per share as compared to a net loss of $73,000, $.02
     loss per share in 1994. Earnings from restaurant operations in fiscal 1995
     improved $210,000, 37%, as a result of the change in number of operating
     restaurants and the factors discussed above. The fiscal 1994 net loss
     includes a net loss of $324,000 consisting of certain non-recurring
     transactions more fully discussed below.

     REVENUES. Total revenues through the second quarter fiscal 1995 rose
     $1,374,000, 36.2%, including sales at the Miami restaurant. Same-restaurant
     sales increased 6.7%, including a 4% increase in customer traffic. The
     balance of the increase in revenues is the result of both higher menu
     prices and a change in customer eating habits to higher priced menu items.

     COSTS AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO REVENUES.
                                                      PERCENT OF REVENUES

                  COSTS AND EXPENSES:           FY 1995     FY 1994     CHANGE

                  Food, beverage and supplies    29.5%       28.3%       1.2%
                  Labor and related costs        23.9%       23.3%        .6%
                                                -------     -------     ------
                                                 53.4%       51.6%       1.8%
                                                =======     =======     ======
     <PAGE>                                     PAGE 6<PAGE>

     Year-to-date fiscal 1995 food, beverage and supply costs rose 1.2% as a
     percent of revenues. However, on a per customer basis these costs rose
     6.8%. This increase is primarily due to increased costs of seafood (up
     18.2%) and meat and chicken (up 10%). Labor costs rose .6% due primarily to
     the higher cost of labor at the Miami restaurant and wage increases
     necessitated by the Company's need to meet local prevailing wage rates and
     secure qualified personnel at other locations.

     RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses rose $281,000
     due to costs associated with the Miami restaurant operations. However, as a
     result of improved cost containment and other efficiencies, these costs
     declined over 3% as a percent of revenues.

     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Administrative expenses in the twenty-four weeks
     ended 1995 declined $14,000 as a result of several factors including, as
     discussed above, costs incurred in 1994 to develop a plan for compliance
     with the ADA.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) in fiscal 1994 includes
     $110,100 income from the amortization of proceeds from business
     interruption insurance for estimated lost profits as a result of Hurricane
     Andrew, net of a loss of $434,300 on the Company's guaranty of certain
     indebtedness of Bright Star Holding, Inc. ("BSH"), formerly the Company's
     majority shareholder. See the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
     October 2, 1994 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.

                               LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                               -------------------------------
     Net cash provided by operating activities through the twenty-four weeks
     ended March 19, 1995 is $675,000 as compared to $201,000 in 1994. At March
     19, 1995 the Company's current assets exceed its current liabilities by
     approximately $315,000. 

     CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.  Capital expenditures to be funded from cash flow are
     expected to total approximately $250,000 in fiscal 1995, of which $67,000
     was paid in the twenty-four weeks ended March 19, 1995.

     OTHER.  The restaurant industry is highly labor intensive. Therefore,
     although the Company presently pays a significant portion of its employees
     in excess of the Federal minimum wage and a large number of the Company's
     employees are tipped employees whose wages are subject to the Federal tip
     credit, increases in state and federal minimum wage rates, if significant,
     would have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

     Further, although the Company currently provides health insurance benefits
     to its employees, the introduction of a national health care program which
     would require employers to pay a significant portion of employee health
     care costs would have a significant impact on the Company's results of
     operations.

     Excluding the newly reopened Miami restaurant facility, the Company's
     restaurant facilities were built prior to the enactment of Federal
     regulations regarding equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities,
     the ADA. The ADA includes certain requirements to alter public facilities,
     including restaurants, as necessary to make facilities accessible to and
     useable by individuals with disabilities. Although Federal regulations
     consider the cost of alterations and the overall financial resources of the
     Company in determining the nature and timing of compliance, the cost of
     such alterations
     <PAGE>                                     PAGE 7<PAGE>

     could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow. The Company has
     engaged certain architects and engineers to develop plans to implement
     those alterations which are economically feasible. The required alterations
     will be made as soon as possible.

     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. In May 1995 the Company's Samurai subsidiary and certain
     employees of The Samurai were served with a lawsuit alleging discrimination
     under the Civil Rights Act of 1870, 42 U.S.C. 1981, as amended (1992 Supp).
     The lawsuit seeks various remedies including monetary damages of $800,000.
     Management believes that the claims as set forth in this complaint are
     without merit and intends to vigorously defend the allegations made against
     The Samurai and its employees. The significance of the complaint and its
     ultimate effect on the operations and financial condition of the Company
     cannot be determined at this time.
