To The Members
Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C.
New York, New York


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diamond Jim's
Steakhouse, L.L.C. as of December 31, 1998 and December 28, 1997, and the
related statements of income, members' capital, and cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and fifty two weeks ended December 28, 1997.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurances about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion the financial statements referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Diamond Jim's Steakhouse,
L.L.C. as of December 31, 1998 and December 28, 1997 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and fifty
two weeks ended December 28, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 28, 1997
                    =======================================


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         ------------------------------------------

         (a) Business
             --------

             The Company, a limited liability company opened a restaurant and
             cigar bar in New York City on October 31, 1996.  The restaurant and
             cigar bar does business under the name of Angelo and Maxie's
             Steakhouse.

             The Company switched from reporting on a 52-53 week basis to a
             calendar year beginning in 1998.  There has been no material effect
             on the financial statements due to this change.

         (b) Inventory
             ---------

             Inventories of food, liquor and other beverages are stated at the
             lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

         (c) Depreciation and Amortization
             -----------------------------

             For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are being
             depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated
             useful lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 7 years.  Leasehold
             improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful
             life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease.
             Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
             Additions and betterments are capitalized.  Upon retirement or
             disposal of fixed assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
             eliminated.

             Lease buyout costs are being amortized on a straight line basis
             over the remaining term of the lease.

         (d) Concentration of Credit Risk
             ----------------------------

             Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
             concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash
             investments.  The Company places its temporary cash investments
             with high quality financial institutions.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 28,1997
                    ======================================


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
         ------------------------------------------

         (e) Income Taxes
             ------------

             The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal
             and state income tax purposes.  A partnership is not a taxing
             entity for federal or state income tax purposes.  Accordingly, no
             federal or state income tax has been recorded.  All income or
             losses will be reported on the individual members' income tax
             returns.  However, the partnership is responsible for the New York
             City Unincorporated Business Tax which has been reflected in these
             financial statements.

         (f) Use of Estimates
             ----------------

             The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
             generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
             make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
             assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
             liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
             reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
             period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Property and Equipment
         ----------------------

         Property and equipment consisted of the following:

                                           ==========  ==========
</TABLE>

         Depreciation expense of property and equipment charged to operations
         was $158,923 in 1998 and $145,821 in 1997.

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions
         --------------------------

         Pursuant to an operating agreement the Company pays management fees and
         guaranteed payments to certain members and/or companies affiliated with
         these members.  Total fees paid were $330,919 in 1998 and $269,170 in
         1997.

Note 4 - Income Tax Matters
         ------------------

         (a) Deferred Taxes
             --------------

             The deferred tax liability consists of the differences between
             accounting income and taxable income primarily relating to the
             capitalization of lease-buyout costs for financial statement
             purposes.

         (b) Income Tax Payable

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
         -----------------------------

         (a) Lease Commitments
             -----------------

             The Company conducts it operations from a facility pursuant to an
             operating lease expiring May 31, 2008.  Among other things the
             lease provides for escalations based upon increases in real estate
             taxes over a base year. Rent expense during 1998 and 1997 was
             $366,927 and $342,857 respectively. At December 31, 1998, future
             minimum obligations under the lease are as follows:

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies (Cont'd)
         -----------------------------

         (b) Sales Tax Audit
             ---------------

             The Company is currently undergoing a New York State sales tax
             audit for the period from inception through May 31, 1998.
             Management does not anticipate a material adverse effect on the
             financial statements due to this audit.

         (c) Legal Actions
             -------------

             The Company is involved in various complaints and charges in the
             normal course of business.  The Company intends to vigorously
             defend against these actions.  The Company believes that is has
             strong defenses, and that there is no basis for the claims alleged
             in the complaints.  In the opinion of management these actions
             should not ultimately have a material adverse effect on the
             financial position or results of operations.

Note 6 - Correction of Errors
         --------------------

         Members' capital at January 1, 1997 has been restated to reflect an
         error which relates to the understatement of income as reported in the
         Company's previously issued 1996 compiled financial statements.  Lease
         buyout costs were previously expensed as incurred instead of
         capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.  The effect on
         income would have been to increase 1996 income by approximately
         $71,921.

         The previously issued 1997 compiled financial statements showed net
         income of $1,513,687.  This has been corrected to reflect additional
         income of $43,476 due to the lease buyout adjustment and $3,472 of net
         additional expenses relating to various other matters.

Note 7 - Change in Depreciation Method
         -----------------------------

         Depreciation and amortization relating to property and equipment has
         been computed by the straight line method in 1998.  Prior to 1998
         depreciation and amortization was recorded by various accelerated
         methods.  The straight line method of depreciation was adopted to
         better reflect the estimated useful lives of the assets and has been
         applied retroactively to acquisitions and improvements of prior years.
         The adjustment of $49,401 under the new method is included in 1998.

       INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of March 29, 1999 gives
effect to the acquisition had it occurred on March 29,1999. The unaudited pro
forma condensed income statements for the quarter ended March 29,1999 and the
year ended December 28, 1998 give effect to the acquisition had it occurred at
the beginning of these respective periods.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been prepared
utilizing

 .    Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C. audited financial statements as of and for
     the year ended December 31, 1998

 .    the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended
     December 28, 1998

 .    Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C. unaudited financial statements for the
     period ended March 31, 1999

 .    the Company's unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 29,
     1999

     The Company has made the assumption that Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C.'s
financial statements would not have been significantly different had they been
prepared for the year ended December 28, 1998 or for the period ended March 29,
1999.

     These unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements may not be
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented, or of the future
financial position or future results of operations of the Company.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of the
Company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION



a    Reflects depreciation and amortization based on the allocated purchase
     price of net assets acquired. Equipment is being depreciated over useful
     lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are being amortized
     over 10 years, the term of the lease. Goodwill is being amortized over 20
     years.

b    Reflects elimination of professional fees, management fees and guaranteed
     payments to partners of Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C. The elimination of
     redundant expenses was one of many catalysts influencing the decision to
     acquire.

c    Reflects interest expense for the amount of borrowings incurred to execute
     the transaction. The calculation assumes the borrowings are outstanding for
     the entire period. The Company's weighted borrowing rate under their
     revolving credit agreement was 8.35% and 8.25% in 1998 and 1999,
     respectively.

d    The Company has significant net operating losses and tax credit
     carryforwards that have resulted in no income tax expense for both periods
     presented. This adjustment assumes the potential for income tax expense, at
     a 40% blended rate, as a result of the acquired pretax income less the pro
     forma adjustments to pretax income.

e    There was no change in outstanding shares as a result of the acquisition.

f    Reflects elimination of current assets not included in the acquisition.

g    Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C. changed its method of depreciation and
     amortization of fixed assets from the straight line method to various
     accelerated methods. The Company uses the straight line method for book
     purposes. In order to adjust Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C.'s historical
     statements to properly reflect the Company's accounting method, a fair
     value adjustment was made to fixed assets. The adjustment is based on the
     cost of the assets recorded in the audited financial statements as of
     December 31, 1998 less accumulated depreciation/amortization calculated on
     a straight line basis, from the date placed in service until March 29,
     1999. Useful life for equipment was five to seven years. Useful lives for
     leasehold improvements were 39 years (the term of the lease held by Diamond
     Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C.). The impact of the the change in accounting
     method on the historical income statement dated March 31, 1999 was not
     material.

h    Reflects the pro forma goodwill recorded calculated as the excess of
     purchase price over net assets required plus costs of the transaction,
     primarily financial advisory and legal fees. This adjustment also includes
     the elimination of other assets not included in the acquisition. The
     goodwill amount is subject to potential accrual and/or deferred tax
     adjustments.

i    Liabilities incurred in conjunction with the acquisition including deferred
     payments to the previous owners, estimated contingent legal liabilities,
     and unpaid costs of the transaction as noted in Note h.

j    Reflects the Company's additional borrowings as a result of the
     acquisition.

k    Reflects the elimination of Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, L.L.C.'s equity
     accounts.
