                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

Information as of December 31, 1995 and for the three months and nine months
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 is unaudited.  The information in the unaudited
financial statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements so as
not to be misleading.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Form 10-Q and consequently may not include all the disclosures normally required
by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in the annual
Form 10-K filing.  Any required information omitted is either insignificant or
is not applicable.


NOTE 2 - LOSS PER SHARE:

Loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares outstanding of
10,000,000 for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.


NOTE 3 - INVENTORY:

Inventory consists primarily of food and beverage inventories sold through its
restaurant business.


NOTE 4 - SALE OF SUBSIDIARY:

During June 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell Shari's
Franchise Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to Shari's Management
Corporation.  This transaction is subject to obtaining shareholder approval.


NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company has guaranteed five store lease obligations of third party and
former employee franchisees of Dreams Franchise Corporation, which are in
default at December 31, 1995.  The total future minimum lease payments related
to the leases in default is approximately $750 at December 31, 1995.  The
Company has accrued for the estimated cost of settling these guarantees.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 were $9,881,000
compared to $11,269,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1994,
representing a decrease of $1,388,000. This decrease is due primarily to a
decrease in restaurant revenues of $1,241,000, resulting from a decrease in
restaurant revenues at B.B. O'Briens, Inc. of $808,000 and a decrease in
restaurant revenues at Shari's Franchise Corporation of $434,000 during the nine
months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the nine months ended December 31,
1994. The decrease at Shari's Franchise Corporation is due to the October 1994
closure of a Shari's restaurant located in Palm Springs, California of $181,000
and the remaining decrease is due to overall sales decreases at existing
restaurants.  The decrease in restaurant revenues at B.B. O'Briens, Inc. is due
to closure of this restaurant during July 1995.  Franchise fees at Dreams
Franchise Corporation were $55,000 less during the nine months ended December
31, 1995 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1994 due to fewer
franchise sales in 1995.  Royalties during the nine months ended December 31,
1995 were $15,000 higher than the nine months ended December 31, 1994 due to
increasing franchisee sales in 1995.  Interest income during the nine months
ended December 31, 1995 was $73,000 less than interest income during the nine
months ended December 31, 1994 due to a decrease in related party loans
receivable.

Total expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 were $11,091,000
compared to $12,807,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1994,
representing a decrease of $1,716,000.  Restaurant cost of sales decreased by
$498,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the nine
months ended December 31, 1994 due to the closure of the Shari's Franchise
Corporation restaurant in Palm Springs, California and the B.B. O'Briens
restaurant in Palm Desert, California, as well as decreases due to lower overall
sales in the existing restaurants.  The percentage of cost of goods sold has
increased during the nine months ended December 31, 1995 to 66.5 percent from
63.4 percent during the same period in 1994 due to the non-variable labor costs
included in cost of goods sold which do not decrease in the same ratio as
decreases in sales.  Occupancy costs decreased $90,000 as a result the
restaurants which were closed, offset by an increase in occupancy costs of
$30,000 in the existing restaurants caused by scheduled rent increases.
Restaurant operating costs decreased $397,000 during the nine months ended
December 31, 1995 when compared to the same period in 1994 due to the closure of
the two restaurants and $84,000 due to a workers compensation premium refund
received during 1995.  Additionally, there was a loss on restaurant closure of
$641,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 1994 and no similar

loss during the nine months ended December 31, 1995.

The changes in revenues and expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1995 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 1994, reflect
differences similar to the differences described above for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,307,000
compared to a working capital deficit of $7,988,000 at March 31, 1995.  This
increase in the working capital deficit of $319,000 is due primarily to the
losses from operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1995.  Management
has relied primarily on borrowings from related parties to finance ongoing
losses from operations but the Company cannot predict what additional financing,
related party or other financing, may be available in the future, nor can it
predict whether it can substantially improve its future results of operations.
The failure of the Company to  obtain additional sources of working capital
and/or to substantially improve its results of operations will have a
significant negative impact on the liquidity and capital resources of the
Company and be detrimental to the Company's ongoing future operations.

The Registrant has entered into a letter of intent to sell Shari's Franchise
Corporation and the Registrant has closed the operations of B.B. O'Briens, Inc.
While these transactions will improve working capital, they alone are
insufficient to significantly impact the current working capital deficit.  In
the event that the Company is unable to sell Shari's Franchise Corporation,
Shari's Franchise Corporation may file bankruptcy in an attempt to discharge its
obligations under leases of poorly performing or closed restaurant locations and
eliminate royalties payable to Shari's Management Corporation on Shari's
restaurants.  This process could result in significant cash requirements to
settle damage claims and pay other costs of bankruptcy.
