              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)



BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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-QSB.
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 fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the twelve and twenty-eight week periods ended May 14,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended October 29, 1995.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 30, 1994.


RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain fiscal 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal
1995 presentation.

Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding have been
restated for the period ending May 15, 1994 to reflect the issuance of 232,000
shares of stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 in an acquisition treated
as a pooling of interests.

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

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                      
REVENUES

Total revenues for the second quarter ended May 14, 1995 of $5.7 million
increased 5% over the same period last year.  Fiscal 1995 first half total
revenues of $13.4 million were 7% higher than last year's first half.  These
increases were principally due to higher revenue from Company-owned restaurants
and increased franchise fees and royalties which offset lower revenues from the
Company's commissary operations.

Commissary revenues for the fiscal 1995 second quarter and first half decreased
below last year by 2% and 1%, respectively. Revenues from the sale of chili and
related food products to the franchised Skyline Chili restaurants were 9% lower
in this year's second quarter compared to last year's second quarter
principally because the Company adjusts its prices for its chili products based
on the market price of beef.  Shipments of the Company's frozen grocery
products for the first half increased 6% over the same period last year.

Same-store sales for Company-owned restaurants were 4% and 6% over the same
period last year for the fiscal 1995 second quarter and first half,
respectively.  A 2% menu price increase, implemented in the fourth quarter last
year, accounted for a significant portion of that increase.  The Company has
seen a trend of smaller same-store increases over the last quarter.  The
same-store increases, a full two quarter's sales from locations opened last
year, and one new unit opened this year in downtown Columbus, Ohio accounted
for the first half's 14% overall increase in revenues.

The Company opened one new restaurant in the second quarter which brings the
number of Company-owned units to 31, an increase of one unit over the end of
fiscal 1994.  The Company franchised two new units in Cincinnati, Ohio in the
first half and currently has 52 franchised units, an increase of two units
compared to the end of fiscal 1994.

Franchise fees and royalties increased 6% and 9% in the second quarter and
first half, respectively, over the same periods last year due to the initial
franchise fee from the franchised units opened this half and increased
shipments of chili to the franchisees, which includes royalties as part of the
selling  price.

COST OF SALES - COMMISSARY

Cost of sales for the second quarter was 74.5% of the corresponding revenue
figures compared to 79.8% for the same period last year.   Cost of sales for
the first half was 72.9% of the corresponding revenue figures compared to 77.4%
for the first half last year.  A lower average beef price was the principal
reason for the improved cost of sales rate.  The Company's cost of sales rate
is heavily influenced by beef prices which can fluctuate significantly.

RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES

Cost of food and paper products were 27.2% and 28.1% for the second quarter and
first half, respectively, of the corresponding revenue figures compared to
29.1% for the same periods last year, thanks to lower average beef prices.
Labor costs for the second quarter of 30.7% and for the first half of 31.1%
increased over a rate of  27.8% for the second quarter last year and 29.1% for
the first half last year.  The Company has experienced increases in hourly wage
rates and increased restaurant crew turnover as a result of a tightening labor
market.  Occupancy and other expenses for the first quarter and first half have
increased over the same periods last year due to a full two quarters of
operations of units opened last year and one new unit opened this year.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were 4.6% higher for the second quarter
compared to last year.  For the first half, this cost category was 1.8% higher
than the prior year.  This was due to increased recruiting, training and
selling expenses which were partially offset by reductions in officer
compensation.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations for the fiscal 1995 second quarter and first half were
48% and 72% higher than the same periods last year because of revenue increases
and lower beef prices.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest expense for the second quarter and the first half was lower than the
same periods in the prior year because of lower debt levels resulting from
scheduled principal payments.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash levels dropped from their fiscal 1994 year end level by $1,021,000 because
of decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in
accounts receivable from a promotion of the Company's frozen products that
extended to the end of the fiscal 1995 second quarter.  Working capital as of
May 14, 1995 of $1,657,000 was approximately $61,000 over the prior fiscal year
end level.

During the first half of fiscal year 1995, the Company spent $311,000 to finish 
construction of a new restaurant location in downtown Columbus.  This
restaurant began operations in the second quarter.  The Company purchased land
in the greater Cincinnati area for $187,000 to be used as a future restaurant
location.  The Company spent $218,000 in the first half to remodel various
Company-owned restaurant locations throughout  the system.  All of these
activities were funded by cash from operations.  The Company intends to spend
approximately $605,000 for the purchase of land in the greater Cincinnati area
to be used for future restaurant development.  Also, the Company intends to
spend $350,000 to relocate an existing strip center unit to a free-standing
unit in the greater Cincinnati area.  The Company believes that cash provided
by operations and its $4 million unsecured bank line of credit will be adequate
to fund currently planned expansion and new equipment purchases.

The Company maintains a compensating balance of $400,000 with the bank that has
issued a letter of credit guaranteeing payment of the principal and related
interest on the City of Fairfield, Ohio Adjustable Rate Demand Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds issued in 1990 to fund in part the construction of
the Company's new commissary, warehouse and office facility.  There are no
legal restrictions on the use of those compensating balance funds.
