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 involving the exchange of floating rate interest payment obligations
for fixed rate interest payment obligations. The notional amount of this
interest rate swap agreement was $20 million. The Company entered into this
agreement in order to manage interest costs and risks associated with
fluctuating interest rates.

 AT END OF QUARTER:

<TABLE>
<S>                                          <C>             <C>

</TABLE>


Total revenue increased 12.7% to $40.6 million from $36.0 million last year.
Company-owned restaurant sales rose 13.6% to $37.4 million from $32.9 million
last year due primarily to 24% growth in store operating weeks of full-service
Pizzeria Uno units resulting from the addition of 14 restaurants during the past
four quarters. Comparable-store sales for Uno units for the first three months
of the fiscal year were 4.6% 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 7.6% below last year, reflecting lower-than-average sales
levels for the 14 units opened during the past four quarters.

Consumer product sales increased 3.7% to $2,185,000 from $2,108,000 for the
first quarter last year. The growth reflects new business within the frozen
product category and increases in sales volumes for existing customers in the
fresh refrigerated segment.



                                        7
<PAGE>   8
Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial franchise fees,
increased to $1,005,000 from $974,000 last year. Royalty income increased 2.2%
due to average weekly sales gains of .9% for the first three months of the
fiscal year. Initial franchise fees amounted to $40,000 this year compared to
$30,000 last year.

Operating income for the first quarter of the fiscal year declined to $1,472,000
from $2,786,000 last year. The operating margin for the period decreased to 3.6%
from 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 remained relatively unchanged at 26.0% compared to 25.9% last year. Labor
costs increased to 31.6% as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product
sales from 30.5% in the prior year due to additional training costs associated
with the introduction of a new menu. Occupancy costs rose as a percentage of
restaurant and consumer product sales to 16.2% from 15.2% primarily due to lower
sales levels at comparable stores and new units. Other operating costs declined
slightly to 9.0% from 9.1% last year due in part to lower advertising
expenditures during the current quarter. General and administrative expenditures
were up approximately 13% from a year ago, however, as a percentage of total
revenues these expenses remain unchanged. Depreciation and amortization expenses
as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales increased to 8.3% from
6.5% last year for several reasons; increased amortization of pre-opening costs
associated with the higher rate of unit growth, lower sales levels at comparable
stores and new units, and increased capital expenditures for facility
renovations.

Other expense of $620,000 increased from $371,000 last year due principally to
higher interest costs relating to the increased level of debt used to fund the
Company's accelerated expansion plan and its ownership of an increasing number
of restaurant properties. In addition, the Company recorded a net loss of
approximately $82,000 for the disposition of various fixed assets. The effective
tax rate of 36% for the quarter compared favorably to last year's rate of 37%
due in part to generally lower state income taxes. Net income decreased to
$545,000 from $1,520,000 last year based on the factors noted above.

</TABLE>

Historically, the Company has 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 quarter of fiscal 1996,
the Company's investment in property, equipment and leasehold improvements was
$7.1 million.

The Company currently plans to open approximately eight restaurants in fiscal
1996. The Company expects that the average cash investment required to open a
full service Pizzeria Uno restaurant, excluding land and pre-opening costs, will

                                        8
<PAGE>   9
be approximately $1.5 million.

As of December 31,1995, the Company had outstanding indebtedness of $28.3
million under its $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, $3.3
million of senior, unsecured notes and $1,361,000 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, 100-150 basis points above LIBOR.
The Company anticipates using the revolving credit facility in the future for
repayment of the $3.3 million of principal outstanding under its senior,
unsecured notes, for the development of additional restaurants, and 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 February 12, 1996
the Company has repurchased a total of 992,200 shares of its Common Stock at an
average price of $7.08 per share.

The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash generated from operations
and borrowings under its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy
the Company's capital requirements through fiscal 1996.

The company is currently obligated under 85 leases, including 82 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. Future increases in local area
construction costs could adversely affect the Company's ability to expand.

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.
