                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                                           



1.   The financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which
     are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
     the financial position and operating results for the interim periods.  The
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to
     Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1994. The results of
     operations for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 1995
     are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year
     ending January 3, 1996.

2.   Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding in each period.  Due to the loss in 1994, and
     for the second quarter of 1995, conversion of options and warrants are not
     considered for those periods because of antidilution.                    
                                                    
3.   In 1994 the Company's balance sheet included a provision of $8.9 million 
     for the estimated cost to close certain underperforming restaurants.     
     Effective for fiscal 1995, only exit costs are charged to this provision, 
     whereas in 1994 and prior years, all operating losses for stores held for 
     closures were chargeable to this provision.  There were $143,800 of exit 
     costs (primarily occupancy and depreciation costs after closing) charged 
     to this reserve during the second quarter of 1995, and $259,000 charged to 
     this reserve for the year-to-date.  Similar charges for the second quarter 
     and year-to-date for 1994 were $448,314 and $907,575, respectfully.

Item 2 :  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                                          


                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of operations for the twelve weeks ("second quarter") and twenty-four
weeks ("first half") ended June 14, 1995, as compared to the same periods
last year:

RESTAURANT SALES of $11,342,992 for the quarter ended June 14, 1995
represents a decrease of $1,271,561 or 10.1% from the same quarter in 1994
and net sales of $26,657,984 for the first half represents an increase of
$631,083 or 2.4%.  The decrease in the second quarter reflects the operation
of 31 restaurants this year, compared to 36 restaurants during the same
quarter last year.  Same store sales for the second quarter of 1995 were down
4% from the second quarter of 1994.  Due to the first quarter elimination of
twelve units in the Northeast, which had lower than average weekly sales, the 
average weekly sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased to $30,492, 
compared to $29,200 for the same quarter, 1994.

The overall increase in sales for the year-to-date, 1995 over 1994 is the
result of several factors.  We added three new units in Florida, which
generated higher average sales volumes than the Northeast stores which were
closed.  Price increases in the Northeast in the late fall added to the sales
increases for 1995.  In addition, the extremely harsh winter of 1994 and the
closings for remodelling had a negative effect on sales volumes in 1994.  

COST OF RESTAURANT SALES includes food, labor, and direct operating costs,
including occupancy.  Direct operating costs consist primarily of costs of
supplies, utilities, maintenance, rent, real estate and personal property
taxes, insurance and depreciation.

Food and labor costs as a percentage of sales for the twelve and twenty-four
weeks ended June 14, 1995 were 69.6% and 68.2% respectively.  The comparable
food and labor costs for 1994 were 76.5% and 72.7%, respectfully.  The
significant reduction in these costs was partially due to a slight price
increase in the Northeast taken in the latter part of 1994, but the primary
factor in reducing the overall costs was the constant monitoring and the
scrutiny of all operating costs.  We have recently instituted a strategic
planning committee, comprised of top management and regional supervisors to
meet periodically to review and discuss all areas of cost containment, and
restaurant operations in general.  A formal management training program has
been initiated early in the third quarter to provide a source of experienced
managers for turnover and new locations.

Total operating costs and depreciation costs as a percentage of sales for the
second quarter of 1995 showed no change when compared to the same quarter of
1994.  Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.1% in the 1995
second quarter, compared to 9.0% in the second quarter of 1994.  This
improvement was derived from the elimination of 12 Northeastern restaurants
with higher than average rents and related factors.

   Item 2 :  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                                            
                                 (continued)



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS decreased by $226,892, or 26.3% for
the second quarter, 1995 and by $559,548, or 30.9% for the first half of 1995
as compared to the previous year.  These decreases were realized in several
areas:  the elimination of overlapping management from the December, 1993
merger; the reduction of some insurance costs, due to the conversion to a
self-insurance program; an overall reduction in legal and auditing fees by
more efficient use of these outside services; the elimination of outside
payroll preparation services by going in-house with these functions.

Amortization of goodwill was $133,994 for the second quarter, 1995 and 1994. 
This non-cash expense is the result of the 1993 merger. 


OTHER INCOME for the quarter and year-to-date, 1995 was $81,275 and $232,585,
respectively, compared to $53,589 and $219,793 for the prior year.  Most of
the other income was from royalty fees.


INFLATIONARY FACTORS had minimal impact on the operating results of the
Company.  Wholesale food costs have remained stable during the second quarter
of 1995, and there have not been any noticeable increases in supplies and
other costs.


                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The principal changes in the Company's financial condition from December 28,
1994 were increases in cash and short term investments.  Decreases since the
prior year-end were in receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, notes
payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the provision for restaurant
closings, capital lease obligations, and other liabilities.  There is
adequate cash flow in the company to pay current obligations within terms.  

As of June 14, 1995, Stacey's ratio of current assets to current liabilities,
excluding the provision for restaurant closings, was .38, as compared to .30
at December 28, 1994.  The provision for restaurant closings at June 14, 1995
is $2,456,764.  This amount provides for some additional asset write-offs and
the payout for lease terminations, which are payable over the next five
years.
