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 our financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 3,
1999.

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 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares
used in diluted earnings per share include common stock equivalents arising from
stock options using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share.

         OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

From time to time, information and statements provided by our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, shareholder reports, press releases and oral
statements may include forward-looking statements which reflect our current view
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. We undertake 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
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 our 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 our news releases, reports to shareholders and
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following tables set forth the percentage relationship to total revenues,
unless otherwise indicated, of certain items included in our income statements
and operating data for the periods indicated:

TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased 10.5% to $59.2 million from $53.5
million last year.

RESTAURANT SALES. Company-owned restaurant sales rose 10.1% to $54.8 million
from $49.8 million last year due primarily to a 3.6% increase in comparable
store sales for the third quarter versus the same period last year. Average
weekly sales, which includes sales at comparable stores as well as new units,
increased 4.8% during the third quarter. Store operating weeks of full-service
Pizzeria Uno...Chicago Bar & Grill units grew 5.2% as eight restaurants were
added during the past four quarters, three of them in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SALES. Consumer product sales increased 13.3% for the third
quarter this year to $2.9 million from $2.5 million last year. Sales in the
contract food service category grew 14.6% over last year. The growth was led by
increased shipments to airlines, hotels, and convenience store business. Sales
of fresh product to retail grocers in the New England region increased 10.6%
over the same period last year.

FRANCHISE INCOME. Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial
franchise fees, increased to $1.53 million versus $1.25 million last year.
Royalty income increased 6.0% to $1.30 million this year compared to $1.22
million last year. The increase in royalty income was primarily due to an 11.7%
increase in average weekly sales for full-service franchised restaurants.
Franchise fees of $234,000, which includes a deposit forfeiture of approximately
$180,000, were recorded this year compared to $25,000 last year. Two
full-service Pizzeria Uno...Chicago Bar & Grill franchise restaurants opened
during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 while two Pizzeria Uno Restaurant & Bar
franchise restaurants were closed.

COST OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES. Cost of food and beverage as a percentage of
restaurant and consumer product sales remained stable at 25.4% compared to last
year.

LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor costs increased slightly to 31.1% from 31.0% last year
as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales primarily due to
increases in the average wage rate.

OCCUPANCY COSTS. Occupancy costs declined as a percentage of restaurant and
consumer product sales to 13.1% from 13.9% due to sales leverage gains.

OTHER OPERATING COSTS. Other operating costs at 8.5% as a percentage of
restaurant and consumer product sales remained stable compared to last year.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenditures as a
percentage of total revenues increased to 8.9% from 8.1% last year due primarily
to approximately $360,000 of legal and professional fees associated with the
company's aborted equity offering. Higher salary and wage expense associated
with infrastructure spending to support our accelerated growth objectives also
contributed to higher costs compared to last year.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales was down to 5.8% versus 6.3%
last year due to increased sales leverage.

PRE-OPENING COSTS. Pre-opening costs increased as a percentage of restaurant
sales to 1.2% from .4% due to the opening of three new company restaurants
during the third quarter compared to one company restaurant opened last year.
Pre-opening costs were also recorded for two existing company restaurants that
were reopened during the quarter after undergoing major facilities upgrades.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income was $4.9 million, which represents an
operating margin of 8.2%. Operating income for last year was $4.6 million, which
represents an operating margin of 8.5%.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE. Interest and other expense of $806,000 decreased
from $861,000 last year as a higher level of capitalized interest associated
with accelerated construction activities offset increased debt balances.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate of 34.0% for the quarter was
higher than the 33.0% effective tax rate for the same quarter last year, but
consistent with the full year tax rate of 34.0%.

NET INCOME. Net income increased to $2.7 million from $2.5 million last year
based on the factors noted above.

(2) Percentage of restaurant sales

TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased 9.5% to $167.0 million from $152.5
million last year.

RESTAURANT SALES. Company-owned restaurant sales rose 9.1% to $154.3 million
from $141.4 million last year due primarily to a 4.3% increase in comparable
store sales for the thirty-nine weeks versus the same period last year. Average
weekly sales, which includes sales at comparable stores as well as new units,
also increased 4.8% during the thirty-nine week period. Store operating weeks of
full-service Pizzeria Uno...Chicago Bar & Grill units grew 4.4%.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SALES. Consumer product sales increased 14.9% for the first
nine months this year to $8.5 million from $7.4 million last year. Sales in the
contract food service category grew 24.2% over last year. The growth was led by
increased shipments to airlines, hotels, and convenience stores. Sales of fresh
product to retail grocers primarily in the New England region were essentially
flat versus the same period last year.

FRANCHISE INCOME. Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial
franchise fees, increased to $4.18 million versus $3.73 million last year.
Royalty income increased 5.4% to $3.79 million this year compared to $3.60
million last year. The increase in royalty income was primarily due to a 9.8%
increase in average weekly sales for full-service franchised restaurants.
Franchise fees of $387,000 were recorded this year, including approximately
$180,000 from a deposit forfeiture, compared to $130,000 last year. Seven
full-service Pizzeria Uno...Chicago Bar & Grill franchise restaurants opened
during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 while five franchise restaurants
closed, including four Pizzeria Uno Restaurant & Bar units.

<PAGE>

COST OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES. Cost of food and beverage as a percentage of
restaurant and consumer product sales decreased to 25.6% from 26.5% last year,
reflecting greater purchasing efficiencies and lower cheese costs. We have
entered into several contracts for key food items, including one with our cheese
supplier to fix the cost of mozzarella cheese for calendar year 2000 at
favorable pricing versus fiscal 1999 pricing.

LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor costs increased slightly to 31.5% from 31.3% last year
as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales, primarily due to
increases in the average wage rate.

OCCUPANCY COSTS. Occupancy costs declined as a percentage of restaurant and
consumer product sales to 13.8% from 14.5% due to sales leverage gains.

OTHER OPERATING COSTS. Other operating costs were 8.5% of restaurant and
consumer product sales, down slightly from 8.6% last year on sales leverage
gains.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenditures as a
percentage of total revenues increased to 8.2% from 7.6% last year, reflecting
the increase in legal and professional fees associated with the canceled stock
offering as well as higher salary and wage expense related to infrastructure
spending to support our accelerated growth objectives.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales was down to 6.1% versus 6.3%
last year due to increased sales leverage.

PRE-OPENING COSTS. Pre-opening costs as a percentage of restaurant sales
increased to 1.0% from .4% due to the opening of eight new company restaurants
this year compared with five during the first nine months of fiscal 1999.
Pre-opening costs for two existing company restaurants that underwent major
facilities upgrades this year also contributed to the increase.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income was $12.7 million, which represents an
operating margin of 7.6%. Operating income for last year was $10.7 million,
which represents an operating margin of 7.0%.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE. Interest and other expense of $2,188,000 decreased
from $2,561,000 last year due primarily to a higher level of capitalized
interest associated with accelerated growth plans along with a slightly lower
average debt balance.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate of 34.0% for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 was higher than the 33.0% effective tax rate for the same
period last year, but consistent with the full year tax rate of 34.0%.

NET INCOME. Net income increased to $6.9 million from $5.4 million last year
based on the factors noted above.

</TABLE>

Historically, we have leased most of our restaurant locations and pursued a
strategy of controlled growth, financing our 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
2000, our investment in property, equipment and leasehold improvements was $27.7
million.

                                       10
<PAGE>

We currently plan to open approximately 12 restaurants in fiscal 2000, eight of
which were opened in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The average cash
investment required to open a full service Pizzeria Uno restaurant, excluding
land and pre-opening costs, is approximately $1.6 million.

During the quarter the company amended its $55 million credit facility to expand
the revolver component from $26.6 million to $36.6 million, leaving the
remaining term loans of the facility unchanged. The maturity of the revolver is
now June 2005.

As of July 2, 2000, we had outstanding indebtedness of $48.7 million under our
$55 million credit facility, $521,000 in capital lease obligations and $4.4
million under our mortgage financing. Advances under the revolving credit
facility will accrue interest at the lender's prime rate plus 0-50 basis points,
or alternatively, at 75-175 basis points above LIBOR. We anticipate using the
revolving credit facility in the future for the development of additional
restaurants, and for working capital.

On November 30, 1999 our board of directors declared a 10% stock dividend on the
outstanding shares of our common stock. The stock dividend was payable on
December 23, 1999 to shareholders of record as of December 13, 1999.

On February 25, 2000, the board of directors amended its authorization regarding
the repurchase of the company's common stock. Under this amendment, the company
has approval to repurchase up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at such
time and at such prices as the company deems appropriate. To date under this
authorization, we have repurchased 1,392,775 shares, of which 688,505 shares
have been purchased during fiscal 2000.

We believe that existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and
borrowing under our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to fund our
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

We are currently obligated under 108 leases, including 104 leases for
Company-owned restaurants, two leases for our executive offices, one lease for
an office building containing one of our restaurants and one lease for a mill
shop.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is
effective for fiscal year 2001. This statement requires all derivatives to be
carried on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of the derivatives would depend on the
hedging relationship and would be reported in the income statement, or as a
component of comprehensive income. We believe that the adoption of this new
accounting standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No.44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (the Interpretation). This
interpretation clarifies how companies should apply the Accounting Principles
Board's Opinion No.25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The
Interpretation will be applied prospectively to new awards, modifications to
outstanding awards, and changes in employee status on or after July 1, 2000,
except as follows: the definition of an employee applies to awards granted after
December 15, 1998; the Interpretation applies to modifications that reduce the
exercise price of an award after December 15, 1998; and the Interpretation
applies to modifications that add a reload feature to an award made after
January 12, 2000. At the present time, there are no awards granted by the
Company which would result in an adjustment at July 1, 2000 as a result of this
Interpretation.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB
101 clarifies the SEC staff's views on applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In March 2000, the
SEC issued an amendment, SAB 101A, which deferred the effective date of SAB 101.
In June 2000, the SEC issued an amendment, SAB 101B, which again deferred the
effective date of SAB 101. The Company will adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2001 in accordance with the

                                       11
<PAGE>

amendment. The adoption of this SAB is not expected to have a significant impact
on the Company's financial statements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    The Year 2000 problem is a result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of our programs
that have time sensitive software may recognize the date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in system failures or
miscalculations using existing software. We did not experience any significant
disruptions of business as a result of the Year 2000 problem. Business affairs
with our major vendors and food distributors, our credit card processor and our
franchisees continued without any critical interruptions. However, if
unanticipated problems arise from systems or equipment in the future, there
could be material adverse effects on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

We expensed all maintenance and modification costs as we incurred them. We
capitalized and depreciated the cost of new software, if material, over its
expected useful life. We incurred costs of approximately $150,000 in testing and
remediation of all our systems and applications. Approximately $60,000 of the
total cost of testing and remediation related to repair issues and the remainder
to replacement of equipment. All costs were budgeted and funded by cash flows
from operations. No information technology projects were deferred due to Year
2000 compliance efforts. We did not pursue independent verification of our
systems because we believe that any effort would be as costly as the remediation
effort and was not warranted. The costs related to the Year 2000 compliance
project were not material to our financial position or results of operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Inflation has not been a major factor in our business for the last several
years. We believe we have historically been able to pass on increased costs
through menu price increases, but there can be no assurance that we will be able
to do so in the future. Future increases in local area construction costs could
adversely affect our ability to expand.

SEASONALITY

Our business is seasonal in nature, with revenues and, to a greater degree,
operating income being lower in the first and second fiscal quarters than in
other quarters. Our seasonal business pattern is due to our concentration of
units in the Northeast, and the resulting lower winter volumes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

         We have market risk exposure to interest rates on our fixed and
variable rate debt obligations and we manage this exposure through the use of
interest rate swaps. We do not enter into contracts for trading purposes. The
information below summarizes our market risk associated with debt obligations
and derivative financial instruments as of July 2, 2000. For debt obligations,
the table presents principal cash flows and related average interest rates by
expected fiscal year of maturity. For variable rate debt obligations, the
average variable rates are based on implied forward rates as derived from
appropriate quarterly spot rate observations as of the fiscal quarter end. For
interest rate swaps, the table presents the notional amounts and related
weighted average interest rates by fiscal year of maturity. The average variable
rates are the implied forward rates as derived from appropriate quarterly spot
rate observations as of the fiscal quarter end.
