NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. They
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the company for
the fiscal year ended October 1, 1995.
The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) that management considers necessary for a
fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for the
interim periods presented.
NOTE B - INTEREST RATE SWAP
On October 26, 1995, the Company entered into a five year interest rate swap
agreement to convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis,
thus reducing the potential impact of interest rate increases on future income.
The notional amount of this interest rate swap agreement was $20 million. The
differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt.
NOTE C - ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
On February 26, 1996 the Company announced that it would adopt the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121) "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of." The Company was not required to adopt SFAS 121 until fiscal 1997. In
connection with such adoption during the second quarter of fiscal year 1996,
five restaurant units (one Uno Restaurant, three Uno Pizza Takery's and one Bay
Street Grill restaurant) were identified as impaired, since the future
undiscounted cash flows of each of these units was estimated to be insufficient
to recover the related carrying value. As such, the carrying values of these
units were written down by $3,937,000 to their estimated fair value.

OF OPERATIONS
SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
From time to time, information and statements provided by the Company in filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, shareholder reports, press releases
and oral statements may include forward-looking statements which reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned
that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the
Company's ability to open new restaurants and operate new and existing
restaurants profitably, changes in local, regional and national economic
conditions, especially economic conditions in the areas in which the Company's
restaurants are concentrated, increasingly intense competition in the restaurant
industry, increases in food, labor, employee benefits and similar costs, and
other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's news releases, reports
to shareholders and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Total revenue increased 7.6% to $44.7 million from $41.5 million last year.
Company-owned restaurant sales rose 8.9% to $41.6 million from $38.2 million
last year due primarily to 12% growth in store operating weeks of full-service
Pizzeria Uno units resulting from the addition of 9 restaurants during the past
four quarters. Comparable-store sales for the third quarter were .7% above the
same period last year. Average weekly sales, which includes sales at comparable
stores as well as new units, were 2.0% below last year, reflecting
lower-than-average sales levels for the 13 newest units opened during the past
five quarters, which are not included in the comparable-store base.
Year-over-year percentage increases and decreases in comparable-store sales and
average weekly sales for the past four quarters are as follows:

Average weekly (2.6)% (7.6)% (4.4)% (2.0)%
</TABLE>
Consumer product sales decreased 8.7% for the second quarter this year to
$2,118,000 from $2,320,000 last year. Sales for the frozen product category
increased as shipments to our wholesale club store customers rose, while airline
sales declined. Sales volumes within our fresh refrigerated category experienced
modest growth for the quarter.
Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial franchise fees,
remained virtually flat at $1,018,000 versus $1,040,000 last year. Royalty
income remained relatively stable at $978,000 this year compared to $994,000
last year. Initial franchise fees amounted to $40,000 this year compared to
$45,000 last year.
Operating income was $2,963,000, which represents an operating margin of 6.6%.
Last year's operating income was $3,527,000, generating an operating margin of
8.5%. Cost of food and beverage as a percentage of restaurant and consumer
product sales increased to 26.5% compared to 25.5% last year. This increase was
due primarily to higher cheese costs, but also reflects changes in menu products
and menu pricing intended to enhance customers' value perception. Labor costs
decreased to 30.3% as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales from
30.8% in the prior year due to lower expenses associated with improved claims
experience for workers' compensation and health insurance. Occupancy costs rose
as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales to 15.4% from 14.5%
primarily due to lower average weekly sales levels at new units. Other operating
costs increased to 9.5% as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales
from 9.2% last year due primarily to the effect of lower average weekly sales on
fixed expenses. General and administrative expenditures as a percentage of total
revenues increased to 6.7% from 6.4% last year as a result of less leverage
resulting from the Company's slower rate of new unit growth this year.
Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of restaurant and
consumer product sales decreased to 7.0% from 7.3% last year due primarily to
lower pre-opening cost amortization associated with the Company's slower rate of
new unit growth this year.
Other expense of $655,000 increased from $587,000 last year due to higher
interest expense related to the Company's increased debt level this year. The
effective tax rate of 36% for the quarter compared favorably to last year's rate
of 37% due to generally lower state income taxes. Net income decreased from
$1,852,000 last year to $1,477,000 this year based on the factors noted above.

</TABLE>
(1) Percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales
Total revenue increased 9.5% to $125.5 million from $114.7 million last year.
Company-owned restaurant sales rose 10.5% to $115.9 million from $104.9 million
last year due primarily to 17.1% growth in store operating weeks of full-service
Pizzeria Uno units resulting from the addition of 9 restaurants during the past
four quarters. Comparable-store sales for Uno units for the first three quarters
of the fiscal year were 1.6% below the same period last year. During the same
period, average weekly sales, which includes sales at comparable stores as well
as new units, were 4.6% below last year.
Consumer product sales decreased 2% to $6,557,000 from $6,673,000 for the first
nine months this year compared to the same period last year. Sales to American
Airlines have declined, due probably to a reduction of the number of flights on
which food service is offered. This sales decline was mostly offset by new
business within the frozen products and contract food service categories, and
modest growth in sales volumes for existing customers in the fresh refrigerated
segment.
Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial franchise fees was
virtually unchanged from last year.
The Company's operating loss of $1,152,000 includes a charge for asset
impairment of $3,937,000 in connection with the adoption of SFAS 121 during the
second fiscal quarter. The Company recorded this write-down for three Uno Pizza
Takery's, one full-service Pizzeria Uno unit and a partial write-down of its
investment in three Bay Street Grill units. The write-down represents non-cash
adjustments made to reduce assets to net realizable value for each of these
restaurants.
Operating income, exclusive of the asset impairment charge, was $5,089,000,
which represents an operating margin of 4.1%. Last year's operating income was
9
<PAGE> 10
$8,868,000, generating an operating margin of 7.7%. The declines in operating
income and margin are due mostly to the lower sales level at comparable stores,
as well as the below-average sales level at newly-opened units.
Cost of food and beverage as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product
sales increased to 26.3% compared to 25.8% last year. This increase was due
primarily to higher cheese costs, but also reflects changes in menu products and
menu pricing intended to enhance customers' value perception. Labor costs
increased to 31.3% as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales from
30.9% in the prior year due to additional training costs associated with the
introduction of a revised menu during the first fiscal quarter. Occupancy costs
rose as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales to 16.0% from
14.7% primarily due to lower sales levels at comparable stores and new units.
Other operating costs increased to 9.4% from 8.9% last year due primarily to
higher advertising expenditures associated with the roll-out of the new menu.
General and administrative expenditures as a percentage of total revenues
remained virtually unchanged. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a
percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales increased to 7.8% from 7.0%
last year for several reasons: lower sales levels at comparable stores and new
units, increased capital expenditures for facility renovations, and increased
amortization of pre-opening costs associated with a higher rate of unit growth.
Other expense of $2,121,000 increased from $1,541,000 last year due partly to a
net loss of $282,000 for the disposition of various fixed assets. In addition,
the Company incurred higher interest expense relating to the increased level of
debt used to fund the Company's expansion plan and its ownership of an
increasing number of restaurant properties. The effective tax rate of 36% for
the first three quarters of the fiscal year compared favorably to last year's
rate of 37% due mostly to lower state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The following table presents a summary of the Company's cash flows for the
period ended June, 1996.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
(In Thousands)
<S> <C>
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 10,559

Increase (Decrease) in cash ($ 1,136)
========
</TABLE>
Historically, the Company had leased most of its restaurant locations and
pursued a strategy of controlled growth, financing its expansion principally
from operating cash flow, public equity offerings, the sale of senior, unsecured
notes, and revolving lines of credit. During the first nine months of fiscal
1996, the Company's investment in property, equipment and leasehold improvements
was $18.9 million.
The Company currently plans to open seven restaurants in fiscal 1996, five of
which were open by the third quarter. The average cash investment required to
open a full service Pizzeria Uno restaurant, excluding land and pre-opening
costs, is approximately $1.6 million.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding indebtedness of $38.1 million
under its $50 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $1,277,000 in
capital lease obligations. The current revolving credit facility will convert to
a three year term loan in December 1997. Advances under the revolving credit
facility will accrue interest at the lender's prime rate, or alternatively, 100-
175 basis points above LIBOR. The Company anticipates using the revolving credit
facility in the future for the development of additional restaurants, and
10
<PAGE> 11
for working capital.
In October 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase
of up to 1.5 million shares of the Company's Common stock in the market from
time to time during the subsequent six months. This superseded the Board of
Directors' previous authorization in July 1995 for the repurchase of up to a
total of 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As of August 8, 1996 the
Company has repurchased a total of 1,321,600 shares of its Common Stock at an
average price of $7.14 per share.
The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash generated from operations
and borrowing under its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to fund the
Company's capital requirements through fiscal 1997.
The Company is currently obligated under 86 leases, including 83 leases for
Company-owned restaurants, two leases for its executive offices, and a lease for
an office building containing one of its restaurants.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not been a major factor in the Company's business for the last
several years. The Company believes it has historically been able to pass on
increased costs through menu price increases, but there can be no assurance that
it will be able to do so in the future.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with revenues and, to a greater
degree, operating income being lower in its first and second fiscal quarters
than its other quarters. The Company's seasonal business pattern is due to its
concentration of units in the Northeast, and the resulting lower winter volumes.
