Note 3 - Restaurant Acquisition

In January 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the
"Pepperoni Grill" restaurant located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with
rights to use trademarks associated with the restaurant, for a cash purchase
price (including transaction expenses) of $529,000.  Additionally, the
Company assumed real estate and equipment leases for the restaurant.  The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method.  As a result,
the Company recorded inventory, equipment and leasehold improvements
totalling $199,000, trademarks of $125,000 and goodwill of approximately
$205,000.  The Company is amortizing the cost of the trademarks and goodwill
over 20 years.  Pro forma results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1994, assuming that the restaurant acquisition had been made
at the beginning of 1994, would not be materially different than the results
reported.

Note 4 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information

For the six month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, the Company had the
following non-cash investing and financing activities:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Company recorded net loss of
$(45,000) ($(.01) per share) on revenues of $10,682,000.  This compares to
net income of $27,000 ($.01 per share) for the three months ended June 30,
1994 on revenues of $9,276,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, the Company reported net loss of $(20,000) ($(.01) per share) for 1995
compared to net income of $105,000 ($.03 per share) in 1994.

REVENUES

Company revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 increased
15% and 20%, respectively, over the revenues reported for the same periods in
1994. The revenue increase relates primarily to increased restaurant sales
during the three and six month periods in 1995.  The number of Company
restaurants operating at the end of each respective period ended June 30 and
the number of operating months during each period were as follows:

</TABLE>

Average monthly sales per unit decreased by $11,300 and $9,200, respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 versus the previous year's
results.  These decreases are attributable to the following items:

     In late 1994, the Company began testing and rolled out to nineteen
     stores in January, 1995 a new menu which contained a combination of
     several new lower priced and a la carte selections.  The stores with
     this new menu experienced a reduction in average check amounts and
     revenues during the first five months of 1995, rather than the overall
     increase the Company expected.  Management reacted quickly to reverse
     these declines by beginning implementation of a new menu to its stores
     in late June, 1995.  The new menu contains many new food selections
     and incorporates a pricing strategy similar to menus used by the
     Company previous to the January, 1995 menu.  A new drink menu was also
     rolled out to the stores in late June, 1995.  The Company is
     experiencing increases in average check amounts and revenues as a
     result of the new menus and expects to see these trends continue
     during the second half of 1995.

     The Company's first quarter 1995 three week television advertising
     campaign coincided with two consecutive weekends of bad weather in the
     Company's Northern and Midwestern stores.  Thus, the Company incurred
     the advertising expense without the normal sales gains it has achieved
     during past advertising campaigns.  The Company's next major 1995
     television advertising campaign


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     began in early July, 1995 to promote the Company's new food and drink
     menus.  Advertising was minimal during the second quarter of 1995 as
     management believed its advertising would be more effective if it was
     done in conjunction with the introduction of the new menus.  As a
     result of this advertising strategy, sales remained weak during the
     second quarter.  During the beginning of the 1995 third quarter,
     revenues began to increase in response to the new menus and related
     advertising.

     The effects of the previously noted items, along with the overall
     weakness in national retail sales levels contributed to the Company's
     same store sales and average monthly sales per unit decreases during
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

     The Company recently hired a Vice President of Marketing, a new
     position at the Company.  The new Vice President of Marketing has over
     17 years of marketing and related experience with a nationally
     recognized chain of dinnerhouse restaurants and will start in August,
     1995.  The Company's management believes this individual will have a
     positive impact on directing its marketing strategy and will
     strengthen its management team.

Initial franchise fees and continuing royalties increased to $146,000 from
$131,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1995, one franchise restaurant closed and a new
one opened.  At June 30, 1995 and 1994, there were eight franchise
restaurants in service.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

A comparison of food, beverage and labor costs (excluding payroll taxes and
fringe benefits) as a percentage of restaurant sales at Company-owned
restaurants is as follows for the periods ended June 30:

                                ----    ----     ----   ----

</TABLE>

The increase in cost of sales percentages during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 versus the 1994 comparable periods was the result of
certain product cost increases, primarily selected meats and produce, and
higher delivery fees.  Labor costs as a percentage of sales increased in 1995
versus 1994 primarily as a result of restructuring the Company's restaurant
kitchen personnel.  This involved increasing kitchen staff labor rates to
reduce turnover and attract experienced kitchen employees.  Given the
Company's historically strong fourth quarter revenues, management expects
cost of sales and labor costs, as a percent of revenues, will decline by
year-end from the levels experienced during the first six months of 1995.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

For the three months ended June 30, 1995, restaurant operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 58.9% from 60.0% in the 1994 three month
period.  A similar decrease was experienced during the six months ended June
30, 1995, during which operating expenses were 58.9%, as compared to the 1994
period level of 59.3%.  Both 1995 period decreases in operating expenses as a
percent to sales are attributable to lower advertising and promotional
expenses, reduced workers' compensation costs and equipment rental expenses
partially offset by higher occupancy costs.

Restaurant pre-opening costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $198,000
and $102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
and $341,000 and $279,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Five restaurants were developed in the first six months
of 1995 while four restaurants were developed in the 1994 period.  There was
no pre-opening costs associated with the Company's purchase of the Pepperoni
Grill restaurant in January, 1995.  The Company plans to open five additional
restaurants (for a total of ten) in 1995 with anticipated average pre-opening
costs of $65,000 to $75,000 per restaurant location.

Under the Company's policy of expensing pre-opening costs as incurred, income
from operations, on an annual and quarterly basis, could be adversely
affected during periods of restaurant development; however, the Company
believes that its initial investment in the restaurant pre-opening costs
yields a long-term benefit of increased operating income in subsequent
periods.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues  decreased to 7.4% and 7.3%,
respectively, from 7.6% and 7.6%,  respectively.  These costs have remained
relatively constant as a percentage of revenues as a result of efficiencies
realized over this particular phase of the Company's expansion, especially at
the corporate management level.  The first half 1995 decrease as a percentage
of revenues reflects the Company's revenue growth over the last year.  The
higher absolute levels of general and administrative costs from 1995 to 1994
are related primarily to additional personnel costs and related costs of
operating the expanding restaurant system.  The Company anticipates that its
costs of supervision and administration of Company and franchise stores will
increase at a slower rate than revenue increases during the next few years.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the first half of 1995 to
$608,000 compared to $394,000 in 1994.  The increase principally relates to
the increase in net assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 1995
versus 1994 because of additional GARFIELD'S, the purchase of the Pepperoni
Grill restaurant and the remodeling of existing restaurants.

In the normal course of business, the Company performs a regular review of the
strength of its assets. To that end, as previously stated, the Company discon-
tinued operations in one profitable store in the second quarter and one
unprofitable store in the beginning of the third quarter. It is management's
plan to continue to make such decisions to close under-performing restaurants
and/or dispose of other assets it deems in the best long-term interest of its
shareholders.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's tax benefit for income taxes was $(8,000) during the first six
months of 1995 versus a tax provision for income taxes of $42,000 for the 1994
comparable period.  The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30, are
as follows:

                                   Three Months     Six Months
                                   ------------     ------------
                                   1994   1995      1994    1995
                                   ----   ----      ----    ----

     Effective income tax rates    41.6%  28.8%     28.7%   28.7%

The 41.6% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1994 was caused
by an adjustment made in the tax provision to properly reflect the estimated tax
provision for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The effective tax rate was
27.8% for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

NET INCOME PER SHARE AMOUNTS

Net income per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.  Per share amounts are based on total outstanding shares plus
the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options and warrants.  Common and
common equivalent share amounts were 3,941,062 and 3,726,684 in the three months
ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and 3,949,649 and 3,817,638 in the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Under the treasury stock
method of computation, outstanding stock options and warrants represented
313,870 dilutive common equivalent shares for the quarter ended June 30, 1994.
There were no dilutive common equivalent shares for the quarter ended June 30,
1995, as the Company incurred a net loss for the period.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The impact of inflation on the costs of food and beverage products, labor and
real estate can affect the Company's operations.  Over the past few years,
inflation has had a lesser impact on the Company's operations due to the lower
rates of inflation in the nation's economy and economic conditions in the
Company's market area.

Management believes the Company has historically been able to pass on increased
costs through certain selected menu price increases and has offset increased
costs by increased productivity and purchasing efficiencies, but there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the future.  Management
anticipates that the average cost of restaurant real estate leases and
construction cost could increase in the future which could affect the Company's
ability to expand.  In addition, mandated health care and an increase in the
Federal or state minimum wages could significantly increase the Company's costs
of doing business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1995, the Company's working capital ratio was .92 to 1 compared to
1.24 to 1 at December 31, 1994.  Working capital decreased to $(365,000) at June
30, 1995 versus $922,000 at December 31, 1994.  As is customary in the
restaurant industry, the Company has operated with negative working capital and
has not required large amounts of working capital.  Historically, the Company
has leased the majority of its restaurant locations and through a strategy of
controlled growth, financed its expansion principally from operating cash flow
and, to a lesser extent, short-term vendor financing.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had net cash used by
operating activities of $326,000 as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $543,000 during the comparable 1994 period.

The Company plans to expand its Company-owned restaurants at the rate of 10 to
15 units per year in the 1995 - 1996 period.  In addition to the Pepperoni Grill
restaurant purchased in January, 1995 for approximately $529,000, the Company
expects to construct  and open nine new restaurants during 1995 in restaurant
locations leased in regional malls.  The Company believes the cash generated
from its operations and borrowing availability under its credit facilities
(described below), will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's net capital
expenditures and working capital requirements through 1996.

The Company has available a credit arrangement, which can be utilized at the
Company's discretion, with a vendor who will provide financing for equipment
purchases during 1995.  Additionally, the Company has revolving lines of credit
with banks totaling $1,200,000 which expire in August, 1995.

Also, the Company will be closing on a revolving line of credit for $3,000,000,
(which has been approved by a bank) on August 15, 1995.  This revolver is
unsecured, has a three year term and contains customary financial covenants.
This new credit facility will replace the existing revolving lines of credit and
provide additional borrowing capacity to be utilized by the Company to continue
its expansion plans over the next several years.
