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 18, 1997, as 
compared to the same periods last year:

RESTAURANT SALES of $7,827,438 for the quarter ended June 18, 
1997 represents a decrease of $1,492,568 or 19.1% from the same 
quarter in 1996 and net sales of $18,014,949 for the first half 
of 1997represents an decrease of $2,500,751 or 12.2% compared 
to same period in 1996.  The decrease in sales reflects the 
fewer number of restaurants operating in 1997 compared to 1996.  
Average weekly sales per restaurant location decreased to 
$31,276 in the first half of 1997 compared to $31,758 for the 
same period in 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 June 18, 1997 increased to 72.1% compared to 68.5% 
for the twelve weeks ended June 19, 1996.  Cost of food and 
labor as a percentage of sales for the twenty-four weeks ended 
June 18, 1997 increased to 67.7% compared to 66.5% for the 
twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1996.  These increases in 
costs as a percentage of sales were primarily due to the 
decrease in sales volumes as they relate to the relatively 
fixed cost of indirect labor, that consists of restaurant 
managers' salaries. 

Operating costs and occupancy costs increased as a percentage 
of sales for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 
1997 to 26.3% and 23.0% respectively compared to 25.3% and 
22.9% for the same periods in 1996.  The increase as a 
percentage of sales results from these costs that are less 
variable in nature to sales volumes being computed as a 
percentage of lower sales levels per store.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased as a percentage 
of sales a percentage of sales for the twelve and twenty-four 
weeks ended June 18, 1997 to 3.0% and 2.6% respectively 
compared to 2.3% and 2.0% for the same periods in 1996. The 
increase as a percentage of sales results from these costs 
being amortized on a straight line basis and are not variable 
in nature to sales volumes computed as a percentage of lower 
sales levels per store.

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

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS increased by $74,185 for the 
second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996 
and by $4,559 for the first half of 1997 as compared to the 
first half of 1996.  The increase in the second quarter of 
1997's general and administrative expenses were due to 
increases in outside professional services and legal fees net 
of decreases in salaries and wages, travel and depreciation 
expenses.

Amortization of goodwill was $109,500 for the second quarter, 
1997 and 1996.  This non-cash expense is the result of the 
1993 merger. 


OTHER INCOME for the quarter and year-to-date, 1997 was 
$53,231 and $89,459, respectively, compared to $75,137 and 
$173,309 for the prior year.  Most of the other income was 
from royalty fees from licensing the Stacey's name and buffet 
concept.  The reduction in other income is primarily due to 
the reduction in the number of  restaurants operating under 
licensing agreements.


INFLATIONARY FACTORS had minimal impact on the operating 
results of the Company.  Wholesale food costs have remained 
stable during the second quarter of 1996, and there have not 
been any noticeable increases in supplies and other costs.  
The Company expects the proposed increase in the minimum wage 
will result in an increase in direct labor costs when the 
second phase of increases are required to be implemented later 
this year.



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 June 18, 1997, Stacey's ratio of 
current assets to current liabilities was .15, as compared to 
 .20 at January 1, 1997.  Current liabilities as of June 18, 
1997, include $1,818,524 for the reserve 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.

                                                               (continued)

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, and assuming the Company's receipt of the proceeds of
the $2,000,000 loan for which it has entered into a letter of
intent with CKE Restaurants, Inc., the Company expects cash flows
will be adequate to pay debts in the ordinary course.
