              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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
Article 10 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.  The Company changed its fiscal
year-end in the first quarter of 1996 to a 52/53 week year ending on the last
Sunday in December.  As a result of this change, each of the Company's quarters
will consist of thirteen weeks.  In a 53 week fiscal year, the fourth quarter
will include fourteen weeks.  The first two quarters of 1996 include 182 days
(combined) versus 181 days in the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The second
quarters of 1995 and 1996, each include 91 days.  Operating results for
thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1996.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

Note 4 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the
assets' carrying amount.  SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Company adopted SFAS 121 in the
first quarter of 1996, and based upon management's review of the Company's
long-lived assets, no impairment losses were recorded.  (See following Note 5
for discussion of the Company's provision for restaurant closures and other
disposals).

Note 5 - Provision for Restaurant Closures and Other Disposals.

During the third quarter of 1995, the Company approved and began the
implementation of a plan to close certain underperforming restaurants.  As of
August 9, 1996, the Company had closed three of the four restaurants planned
for closure.  Management anticipates that the remaining restaurant closure and
negotiation and execution of lease termination agreements will be completed
during the remainder of 1996.  As a result of the completed and planned
restaurant closures, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $842,000 in the
third quarter of 1995, of which approximately $585,000 of lease termination
costs, litigation settlement costs and other exit costs had been incurred by
June 30, 1996.  Management expects the effect of closing these underperforming
stores to result in improved margins and increased profitability for the
Company in future periods.  In the normal course of business, management
performs a regular review of the strength of its operating assets.  It is
management's plan to continue to make such decisions to close underperforming
restaurants and/or dispose of other assets it considers in the best long-term
interest of the Company's shareholders.

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

INTRODUCTION

         As of June 30, 1996, the Company owns and operates 42 casual theme
dinnerhouse restaurants (40 Garfield's and two Pepperoni Grills).  The
Garfield's Division totals 50 restaurants comprised of a combination of the 42
Company and eight franchised locations. These numbers reflect the closing of
one Company Garfield's subsequent to the quarter's end.  The Company currently
has three additional Garfield's under development and scheduled to open in the
third and fourth quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded net loss of
$(152,000) ($(.04) per share) on revenues of $13,426,000. This compares to net
loss of $(45,000) ($(.01) per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 on
revenues of $10,682,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Company reported net loss of $(129,000) ($(.03) per share) for 1996 compared to
net loss of $(20,000) ($(.01) per share) in 1995.

REVENUES

Company revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 26%
and 24%, respectively, over the revenues reported for the same periods in 1995.
The revenue increase relates primarily to increased restaurant sales during the
three and six month periods in 1996.  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 increased by $12,800 and $9,500, respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 versus the previous year's
results.  These increases are notable in that they are reversing a sales
decline the company was experiencing through 1995.  Management believes the
increases are attributable to the following items:

         A stronger, more experienced management team in place at the beginning
         of 1996.  (Several key examples follow).

         In November, 1995, the Company created and filled the position of
         Divisional Vice President of Operations/Garfield's.  The individual
         responsible for this position brings 17 years of senior operations'
         management experience with two nationally recognized restaurant
         chains.  The Divisional Vice President is responsible for improving
         service and sales of the Garfield's stores as well as recruiting and
         hiring experienced store management.

         In August, 1995 the Company hired a Vice President of Marketing, a new
         position at the Company.  The new Vice President of Marketing has over
         17 years of marketing experience with a nationally recognized chain of
         dinnerhouse restaurants.  During the fourth quarter of 1995, a
         detailed marketing plan was developed for 1996,


                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13
         with the primary objectives being to improve same store sales and
         guest satisfaction.  The implementation of the marketing plan began
         during the first quarter of 1996 positively impacted the Company's
         same store sales results during the first six months of 1996.

         Following the November, 1995 successful introduction of regional
         newspaper advertising, the Company ran its second regional newspaper
         print program for Garfield's restaurants in February, 1996.  A third
         regional program continued to drive sales during May and June, 1996.
         These programs were used in the majority of the Company's restaurant
         markets and have all been successful in increasing revenues and
         customer visits.

         During the first six months of 1996, the Company began testing radio
         and direct mail advertising campaigns in selective restaurant markets.
         Initial results have been favorable and the Company plans to further
         utilize these campaigns in additional restaurant markets during the
         remainder of the year.

         While these marketing programs resulted in increased short-term costs,
         management believes their effects, along with the local efforts of our
         restaurant management, contributed to the Company's significant
         average monthly sales per unit increases.  (The Company experienced a
         10% increase in average unit volumes during the first six months of
         1996 versus the comparable 1995 period).  Management believes it will
         continue to experience improving sales trends for the balance of the
         year with lower marketing and promotional costs.

Initial franchise fees and continuing royalties were $133,000 and $146,000 in
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  During the second
quarter of 1995, one franchise restaurant closed and a new one opened.  At June
30, 1996 and 1995, there were eight franchise restaurants in service.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $185,000 as compared to
the previous year's amount of $332,000.  The 1995 six month period's other
income included a $135,000 gain on the sale of a building and related
equipment.

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:

          Total                 60.5%   59.9%    60.1%  59.1%
                                =====   =====    =====  =====
</TABLE>

The decrease in cost of sales percentages during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 versus the 1995 comparable periods primarily reflects the
Company's improving purchasing techniques, which has allowed the Company to fix
purchase prices for certain high volume food products, and other purchasing
efficiencies. Where practical, such techniques will continue to be used in the
Company's purchasing methods.  Also, 1996 cost of sales percentages improved
over the previous year's as a result of the addition to the menu of several new
entree selections that have a lower percentage of product cost to price than
the average menu mix.  Labor costs experienced during the first six months of
1996 modestly improved over the comparable 1995 period.

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, restaurant operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased to 60.2% from 58.9% in the 1995 period.  A
similar increase was experienced during the six months ended June 30, 1996,
during which operating expenses were 59.7%, as compared to the 1995 period
level of 58.9%.  Both 1996 period increases in operating expenses as a percent
to sales are attributable to higher advertising and promotional expenses
partially offset by lower occupancy costs. The Company has incurred higher
promotional costs during the first half of 1996 (through its regional newspaper
and direct mail advertising programs) to increase revenues and build its
customer base.  In the short-term this strategy has negatively impacted the
Company's operating results, but management believes in the long-term it will
increase its customer base and future revenues.

Restaurant pre-opening costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $154,000 and
$198,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
$274,000 and $341,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Three restaurants were developed in the first six months of 1996
while four restaurants were developed in the 1995 period.  The Company plans to
open three additional restaurants during the second half of 1996 (for a total
of six new restaurants for 1996).



                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15
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, 1996 and 1995, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7.2% and 6.9%,
respectively, from 7.4% and 7.3%, respectively.  The first half 1996 decrease
as a percentage of revenues reflects the Company's revenue growth over the
previous year.  The higher absolute levels of general and administrative costs
from  1996  to  1995  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 1996 to
$873,000 compared to $608,000 in 1995.  The increase principally relates to the
increase in net assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 1996 versus
1995 because of additional Garfield's and Pepperoni Grill Restaurants opened
since July 1, 1995 and the remodeling of existing restaurants.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's income tax benefit was $(53,000) during the first six months of
1996 versus an income tax benefit of $(8,000) for the 1995 comparable period.
The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30, are as follows:

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 3,726,684 and
3,843,404 in the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and
3,817,638 and 3,887,759 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  Under the treasury stock method of computation, there were no
dilutive common equivalent shares for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and
1996, as the Company incurred net losses for those periods.

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 could significantly
increase the Company's costs of doing business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital ratio was .81 to 1 compared to
 .72 to 1 at December 31, 1995.  The Company's working capital was $(1,123,000)
at June 30, 1996 versus $(1,677,000) at December 31, 1995.  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, proceeds from the sale of common stock and utilizing the
Company's revolving line of credit.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had net cash provided by
operating activities of $411,000 as compared to net cash used by operating
activities of $326,000 during the comparable 1995 period.

The Company plans to open six units during 1996 in restaurant locations leased
in regional malls.  The Company believes the cash generated from its operations
and borrowing availability under its credit facility (described below), will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's net capital expenditures and working
capital requirements during 1996.

In August, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for a
revolving line of credit for $3,000,000.  This revolver is unsecured, has a
three year term and contains customary financial covenants.  This credit
facility provides the Company additional borrowing capacity to continue its
expansion plans over the next several years.

In July, 1996, the Company's $3,000,000 revolving line of credit was increased
to $5,000,000 and the term was extended by one year to August, 1999.
