			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 period.  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 January 3, 1996.  The results of
    operations for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1996 are not
    necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year
    ending January 1, 1997.

    2.  Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
    of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding in
    each period.

    3.  Effective January 4, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standard No. 123,  Accounting for Stock
    Based Compensation.  This standard allows the Company to select
    either a fair value based method or it's current intrinsic value
    based method of accounting for employee stock-based
    compensation.  The Company retained it's intrinsic value method
    of accounting and, therefore, the adoption of this standard did
    not have a material effect on the Company's financial
    statements.

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


    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    ---------------------
    Results of operations are for the twelve weeks ("first quarter")
    ended March 27, 1996, as compared to the twelve weeks ended March 22, 
    1995.  During January 1996, two underperforming restaurants located 
    in the Northeast were closed.  In March 1996, a new restaurant in Florida 
    was opened.  During fiscal 1995, 13 underperforming restaurants were 
    closed and 3 restaurants were spun-off.  Of the total restaurants closed 
    and spun-off in fiscal 1995, ten underperforming restaurants were closed 
    during the latter part of the quarter ended March 22, 1995.  At the end of
    the first quarter 1996, there were 27 Company-owned restaurants in 
    operation.

    RESTAURANT SALES of $11,195,694 for the quarter ended March 27, 1996 
    represents an decrease of $4,119,298 or 26.9% from the same quarter in 
    1995.  This decrease reflects the fewer number of restaurants operating 
    in first quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995 due to the 
    restaurants closed and spun-off.  Additionally, sales were adversely 
    effected due to the harsh winter weather experienced in the Northeast 
    during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Due to the severe snow storms in
    the Northeast, some restaurants were unable to open for business and some 
    were forced to close down early.  On some of the days that the restaurants
    were able to remain open, the volume of business was significantly less 
    than normal due to the limited number of people traveling in the severe 
    weather and limited number of streets cleared for travel.

    Average weekly sales per restaurant for the twelve week quarter ended 
    March 27, 1996 was $35,096, compared to average weekly sales of $31,774 
    per restaurant during the same period last year.  The increase in average 
    weekly sales in 1996 compared to the same period last year is due largely 
    to the exclusion of the underperforming restaurants in 1996 that are 
    included in the 1995 average weekly  sales.

    COST OF RESTAURANT SALES includes food, labor, operating, occupancy and 
    depreciation and amortization expenses.  Operating costs consist primarily
    of costs of supplies, utilities, maintenance, personal property taxes, 
    and insurance.

    Cost of food and labor as a percentage of sales for the twelve weeks 
    ended March 22, 1995 decreased to 64.9% from 67.1% in the same quarter, 
    last year.  This reduction was due to continuing to monitor the food and 
    labor costs, and providing product mix in our menus that yield more 
    favorable results.  Other operating costs, occupancy and depreciation, 
    were 22.7% for the first quarter, 1996 compared to costs of 25.3% in the 
    comparable quarter of 1995.  Occupancy costs for the first quarter of 1996
    compare favorable as a percentage of sales compared to the same period in 
    1995 primarily due to the closing of the underperforming restaurants.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS decreased by $14,281
    or 2.3% for the first quarter, 1996 as compared to the same
    period for the previous year.  Total selling, general and
    administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 5.4% for
    the first quarter of 1996, as compared to 4.0% for the first
    quarter of 1995.  This increase as a percentage of sales is a
    result of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 being less
    than sales for the same period in 1995.

    Amortization of goodwill was $109,500 for the first quarter of
    1995, compared to $133,994 for the first quarter of 1995.  This
    reduction in amortization expense results from the reduction in
    goodwill related to the spin-off of three restaurants in fiscal
    1995.  Goodwill amortization is a non-cash expense that was  the
    result of the 1993 merger.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) for the first quarter, 1995 was $98,172
    compared to $151,310 in the same quarter, last year.  Other
    income (expense) consists primarily of royalty fees earned,
    interest income, interest expense.

    INFLATIONARY FACTORS were minimal on the operating results of
    the Company.  Wholesale food costs have remained stable during
    the first quarter of 19965, 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
    January 3, 1996 were decreases in the line of credit and
    accounts payable.  As of March 27, 1996, Stacey's ratio of
    current assets to current liabilities was .25, as compared to
    .23 at January 3, 1996.  Current liabilities as of March 27,
    1996, include $1,914,678 for the provision for restaurant
    renovations and closings.

    The Company's capital has been obtained through cash from
    operations, credit from trade suppliers, and the sale of common
    stock related to the merger in December with the Stacey Lynn
    Group.  The remodeling and conversion program undertaken during
    1994 and the operational losses incurred in prior years used up
    most of the Company's cash reserves.  Based on current operating
    results and management's projected operating results, the
    Company believes cash flow generated from restaurant operations
    will be sufficient to pay debts as they become due.
