1.  Interim Reporting

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and with Form 10-QSB
requirements.  Accordingly,  they  do not  include  all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
nine month period ended  September 30, 1998, are not  necessarily  indicative of
the results  that may be expected  for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  For
further  information,  refer to the financial  statements and footnotes  thereto
included  in the  Company's  annual  report on Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended
December 31, 1997.

2. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     In 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (EPS). SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and
fully diluted  earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. The
application of SFAS No. 128 had no effect of the earnings per share for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as previously reported.

     The effect of outstanding common stock equivalents,  including warrants and
convertible  debentures  are  antidilutive  for the three and nine months  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 and are thus not considered.

     The  reconciliations  of the  numerators  and  denominators  of  the  basic
earnings per share computations are as follows:

start up  activities to conform with new  requirements  of Statement of Position
98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up  Activities"  (SOP 98-5). The effect of
this change was to increase  net loss for the nine months  ended  September  30,

restated in accordance with the provisions of SOP 98-5.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Plan of  Operations  - Eat at  Joe's  Ltd.  Intends  to open and  operate  theme
restaurants  styled in an "American  Diner"  atmosphere  where  families can eat
wholesome,  home cooked food in a safe friendly  atmosphere.  Eat at Joe's,  the
classic American grill, is a restaurant concept that takes you back to eating in
the era when favorite old rockers were playing on chrome-spangled  jukeboxes and
neon signs reflected on shiny tabletops of the 1950's. Eat at Joe's fulfills the
diner dream with homey ambiance  that's  affordable  while  providing food whose
quality and variety is such you can eat there over and over, meal after meal. To
build on the diner experience, a retail section in each Eat at Joe's would allow
customers  to take  the  good  feelings  home  with  them,  in the  form of 50's
memorabilia.

     The Company's  expansion  strategy is to open  restaurants  either  through
Joint  Venture  agreements  or  Company  owned  units.  Units may  consist  of a
combination  of full service  restaurants  or food court  locations.  Restaurant
construction will take from 90-150 days to complete on a leased site.

     In  considering   site  locations,   the  Company   concentrates  on  trade
demographics,  such  as  traffic  volume,  accessibility  and  visibility.  High
Visibility Malls and Strip Malls in densely  populated suburbs are the preferred
locations.  The Company  also  scrutinizes  the  potential  competition  and the
profitability of national  restaurant  chains in the target market area. As part
of the expansion program,  the Company will inspect and approve each site before
approval of any joint venture or partnership.

     A typical food court unit is approximately  500 square feet,  whereas for a
full  service  operation  it is  approximately  3,500  square  feet.  Food court
operation  consists of a limited  menu.  A full service  restaurant  consists of
30-35 tables  seating  about 140- 150 people.  The bar area will hold 6-8 tables
and seats 30-35 people.

     The  restaurant  industry is an  intensely  competitive  one,  where price,
service,  location,  and food quality are critical factors. The Company has many
established  competitors,  ranging  from  similar  casual-style  chains to local
single unit operations.  Some of these  competitors have  substantially  greater
financial resources and may be established or indeed become established in areas
where the Eat at Joe's Company operates. The restaurant industry may be affected
by changes  in  customer  tastes,  economic,  demographic  trends,  and  traffic
patterns.   Factors  such  as  inflation,   increased  supplies  costs  and  the
availability of suitable employees may adversely affect the restaurant  industry
in general and the Eat at Joe's Company  Restaurant in  particular.  Significant
numbers of the Eat at Joe's  personnel  are paid at rates related to the federal
minimum wage and  accordingly,  any changes in this would  affect the  Company's
labor costs.

Results of  Operations - From March 1, 1990 to December 12, 1995 the Company was
an inactive corporation. From December 12, 1995 to November 1997 the Company was
a  development  stage  company and had not begun  principal  operations.  During
November  and December  1997 two  restaurants  were opened,  during May 1998 two
additional restaurants were opened, and during third


<PAGE>



quarter 1998 four additional restaurants were opened and began operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has generated minimal revenues from product sales. Revenues are
not yet sufficient to support the Company's  operating  expenses,  however,  the
Company is cautiously  optimistic  that  operating  revenues will be adequate to
meet operating expenses during the next year. Since the Company's formation,  it
has funded its operations and capital  expenditures  primarily  through  private
placements  of  debt  and  equity  securities  and  has  borrowed  approximately
$2,100,000  from  unrelated  entities as of September  30,  1998.  The notes are
payable  one year from the date of  issuance  together  with  interest  at 6.50%
A.P.R. The Company will be required to seek additional  financing in the future.
There  can be no  assurance  that such  financing  will be  available  at all or
available on terms acceptable to the Company.

     The increase in capital  resources for 1998 and 1997 is attributable to the
private placement of Preferred and Common Stock and the issuance of debt.

Government Regulations - The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State,
and Local laws governing its business. Each Eat at Joe's is subject to licensing
and regulation by a number of authorities  in its State or  municipality.  These
may include health,  safety, and fire regulations.  The Company's operations are
also subject to Federal and State  minimum wage laws  governing  such matters as
working conditions, overtime and tip credits.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     The Company is not party to any material litigation and is not aware of any
threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on its business.
