				   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 1, 1997.  The results of
   operations for the twelve weeks ended March 26, 1997, are not necessarily
   indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31,
   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
26, 1997, as compared to the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1996.  During January
1996, two underperforming restaurants located in the Northeast were closed.  In
March 1996, a new restaurant in Florida was opened.  At the end of the first
quarter 1997 and 1996, there were 24 Company-owned restaurants in operation.


RESTAURANT SALES of $10,187,511 for the quarter ended March 26, 1997,
represents a decrease of $1,008,183 or 9.0% from the same quarter in 1996.
The decrease in sales is primarily due to more stores open during the first
quarter of 1996 compared to 1997.

Average weekly sales per restaurant for the twelve week quarter ended March 26,
1997 was $35,373, compared to average weekly sales of $35,096 per restaurant
during the same period last year.  The increase in average weekly sales in 1997
compared to the same period last year is due largely to modest price increase
for lunches that was put into effect in the last quarter of fiscal 1996.


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 26, 1997 totaled 64.3% compared to 64.9% for the twelve weeks ended March
27, 1996.  This reduction was achieved by constantly monitoring food and labor
costs to gain further efficiencies.  Other operating costs, occupancy and
depreciation as a percentage of sales, were 22.8% for the twelve weeks ended
March 26, 1997 compared to 22.9% in the comparable period in 1996.


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased by $40,148 or 7.0% for the twelve
weeks ended March 26, 1997 as compared to the same period for the previous
year.  Total general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was
5.2% for the first quarter of 1997, as compared to 5.1% for the first quarter
of 1996.  This increase as a percentage of sales is a result of sales for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 being less than sales for the same period in 1996.

Amortization of goodwill was $109,500 for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) for the first quarter, 1997 was $36,228 compared to
$98,172 in the same quarter, last year.  Other income (expense) consists
primarily of royalty fees earned, interest income, interest expense.  The
reduction in other income relates to the reduction in the number of restaurants
being operated under license agreements in 1997 compared to 1996.

INFLATIONARY FACTORS were minimal on the operating results of the Company.
Wholesale food costs have remained stable during the first quarter of 1997,
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 1, 1997
were decreases in accounts payable, short-term investments, the line of credit,
the reserve for store closings and accrued expenses.  As of March 26, 1997,
Stacey's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .16, as compared
to .20 at January 1, 1997.  Current liabilities as of March 26, 1997, include
$1,872,008 for the provision for restaurant closings.

On January 5, 1997, the line of credit facility expired and all amounts
outstanding under the line were repaid.  Approximately $581,000 of the
short-term investments were released from the security agreement and converted
to cash for operating working capital.

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, 1993 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
for fiscal 1997 of the remaining twenty-four restaurants, using actual fiscal
1996 results as the basis of these projections, the Company expects cash flows
generated from restaurant operations will be adequate to pay debts in the
ordinary course.
