                                   (Unaudited)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING

The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared without an independent
audit  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.   The   information   furnished   herein  reflects  all  adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  accruals and  adjustments)  which are, in the
opinion of management,  necessary to fairly state the operating  results for the
respective  periods.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
included in annual  financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  have been  omitted  pursuant to such rules and
regulations,  although our management believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading.  For a complete description of
the  accounting  policies,  see our Form 10-K  Annual  Report for the year ended
December 27, 1999.

We operate on fiscal quarters of 13 weeks.

The results of  operations  for the three and nine months  ended  September  25,
2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for a full
year.

Certain  amounts  in 1999  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  the 2000
presentation.

2. START-UP COSTS

On the  first  day of our 1999  fiscal  year,  December  29,  1998,  we  adopted
Statement of Position  98-5 ("SOP  98-5"),  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities".  Pursuant  to this  accounting  requirement,  the costs of start-up
activities  are  expensed as  incurred.  The  adoption  of SOP 98-5  resulted in
deferred  pre-opening  costs on our  consolidated  balance sheet at December 28,
1998 of  $168,000,  or $0.02 per  share,  being  charged  to  operations  as the
cumulative  effect of a change in accounting  principle during the quarter ended
March  29,  1999.  Additionally,  pursuant  to SOP  98-5,  pre-opening  costs of
$340,000  and  $1,144,000,  or $0.03  and  $0.11  per  share,  were  charged  to
operations  during  the three  and nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000 and
$500,000 and $1,542,000,  or $.05 and $.15 per share for the comparable  periods
in 1999.

3. LEGAL AND CONDEMNATION COSTS

During the nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000,  we charged  approximately
$1,080,000  in legal and  condemnation  costs  against the reserve for projected
losses,  principally  as the result of the  settlement  of a lawsuit in February
2000 as noted in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 1999. The reserve
balance in other accrued  liabilities  at September  25, 2000 was  approximately
$74,000 for legal and condemnation costs.

Reserves for projected losses and contingencies  were reduced  significantly due
to the settlement and payment of a pending lawsuit in February 2000.  Management
feels current reserves are adequate to cover all known losses and contingencies.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

Effective  December 30,  1997,  we adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related
Information", which established revised standards for the reporting of financial
and descriptive information about operating segments in financial statements. We
have determined that we have one reportable operating segment.  Accordingly,  we
have only presented financial information for our one reportable segment.

5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards 133 ("SFAS 133")  "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement

                                        6
<PAGE>
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,
including derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts,  and for hedging
activities.  In June 1999,  the FASB issued  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards 137  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities -
Deferral of the  Effective  Date of FASB  Statement  No.  133".  This  statement
deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to our fiscal year beginning January
1, 2001. Although we have not used derivative instruments and hedging activities
in the past,  we are  currently  evaluating  the  impact of SFAS No.  133 on our
future results of operations and financial position.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The  following  table sets forth  basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  "EPS"
computations  for the  three  and  nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000 and

7. UNAUDITED BAMBOO CLUB PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine
month periods  ended  September  25, 2000,  and September 27, 1999,  present our
operating  results as if the Bamboo Club restaurant  acquisition  (accounted for
using the purchase method)  occurred at the beginning of 1999. In addition,  the
pro forma earnings per share is presented as if the additional  shares issued in
connection  with the rights  offering,  as  disclosed  in footnote  #8, had been
outstanding  as of the beginning of 1999.  The total purchase price for both the
restaurants and the concept was $12,000,000.  Goodwill will be amortized over 15
years on a straight line basis. There are no contingent  payments or commitments
in connection  with this  acquisition.  Earnings per share are calculated  based
upon earnings before taxes, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle,
and  extraordinary  loss from debt  extinguishment.  Pro  forma  results  are as
follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October  10,  2000,  fifteen  days after the close of our third  quarter,  we
completed  our  stockholder  rights  offering  by issuing  4,011,740  additional
shares,  or the maximum  number  available to our  qualified  stockholders.  The
proceeds of $9.3  million  were used to repay the $5.0  million  bridge loan and
will be used to fund future new store development. If the shares had been issued
and outstanding in the the beginning of the year, pro forma diluted earnings per
share  would  have been $0.07 and $0.21 on a three  month and nine month  basis,
respectively.

We have  re-negotiated  our future  franchisee  development  obligations for new
T.G.I.  Friday's locations primarily in Northern  California.  Our re-negotiated
development  schedule  has  reduced  our  development  obligations  in  Northern
California,  extended the dates for new store  development  in all of California
and  increased  to  a  lesser  extent  our  development   obligations  in  other
territories.  As part of the new agreement,  the franchisor now has the right to
co-develop the Northern  California market. We expect to comply with the amended
development agreements.

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 AND COMPARABLE PERIODS IN 1999

Revenue for the three  months  ended  September  25,  2000,  increased by 37% to
$48,293,000  compared with  $35,291,000 for the comparable  period in 1999. On a
year-to-date  basis for the nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000 versus the
comparable   period  in  1999,   revenue  increased  37%  to  $139,928,000  from
$102,371,000.  The significant increase is attributed to the opening of five new
restaurants in the fourth quarter of 1999, the opening of seven new  restaurants
in the first  three  quarters  of 2000 and the  acquisition  of the Bamboo  Club
restaurants  during the third  quarter of 2000.  At the same time, we achieved a
same-store  sales  increase  of 5.3% for the  quarter  as  compared  with a 2.4%
increase  for the  comparable  period in 1999.  Through  the nine  months  ended
September  25, 2000,  same-store  sales were up 5.8% as compared to a same-store
increase of 5.0% for the first nine months of 1999. In

addition,  the sales  performance  of the majority of our new units  continue to
exceed our expectations.

Cost of sales as a percentage  of revenue for the three  months ended  September
25, 2000,  remained  constant at 28.1% as compared with 28.1% for the comparable
period in 1999. For the nine months ended  September 25, 2000, cost of sales was
29.0 %, up from 28.3% for the comparable period in 1999. Cost of sales increased
as a result of higher food costs incurred in the first two quarters as we sought
alternative food supply  distributors when our major food supplier,  Ameriserve,
declared bankruptcy.

Payroll and benefit  costs as a  percentage  of revenue were 29.1% for the three
months ended  September  25, 2000,  as compared  with 30.0 % for the  comparable
period in 1999.  For the nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000,  payroll and
benefit  costs were 29.9% of revenue  as  compared  to 29.8% for the  comparable
period in 1999. This expense category  significantly improved over the first two
quarters of 2000. A large part of our quarterly improvement came from new stores
which opened in 1999 that brought  their  operating  labor  expense down to more
efficient  levels.  The  year-to-date  increase is the result of the  Ameriserve
bankruptcy  impact during the first two quarters of 2000,  which caused  related
labor inefficiencies.

Depreciation and amortization expense has increased to 4.1% for the three months
ended  September 25, 2000, as compared with 3.0% for comparable  period in 1999.
For the nine months ended  September  25, 2000,  depreciation  and  amortization
increased  to 3.8%  compared  to 3.1% for the  comparable  period  in 1999.  The
increase was due to new restaurant  capital  expenses and acquisition  costs for
the Bamboo Club purchase.

Other operating  expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 28.5 % for the
three months ended  September 25, 2000 from 27.6% for the  comparable  period in
1999. For the nine months ended  September 25, 2000,  other  operating  expenses
increased  to 27.6%  compared to 27.5% for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The
increase in these costs are due to utility cost increases in Southern California
and workers  compensation  insurance  rate  increases  throughout our California
operating area.

Amortization  of  non-goodwill  intangible  assets  declined as a percentage  of
revenue to 0.5% for the three months ended  September 25, 2000, as compared with
0.7% for the comparable  period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 25,
2000,  amortization of intangible  assets decreased to 0.6% compared to 0.7% for
the comparable  period in 1999.  The decrease  resulted from the fixed nature of
intangibles spread over a much larger revenue base.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 4.2%
for the three months  ended  September  25, 2000 as compared  with 4.5 % for the
comparable period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 25, 2000, general
and administrative  costs decreased to 3.9% of revenue as compared with 4.2% for
the comparable period in 1999. Our efforts to ensure that  administrative  costs
do not grow in excess of sales growth have been effective.

During the first  quarter of 1999, we adopted SOP 98-5,  as  promulgated  by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which requires us to expense
pre-opening  expenses as they are  incurred.  Prior to 1999,  such expenses were
capitalized  and  amortized  over a period  of one year.  Pursuant  to SOP 98-5,
pre-opening expenses of $340,000, or 0.7% of revenue, were charged to operations
during the quarter ended September 25, 2000, as compared with $500,000,  or 1.4%
of  revenue,  for the  comparable  period  in  1999.  On a  year-to-date  basis,
pre-opening  costs  were  $1,144,000,   or  0.8%  of  revenue,  as  compared  to
$1,542,000,  or 1.5% of revenue,  for the  comparable  period in 1999. We opened
seven new  restaurants  in the first three quarters of 2000 and eight during the
comparable  period in 1999. Our continued  efforts to control  pre-opening costs
are reflected in the significant decline of average cost per new restaurant.

New manager  training  expenses are those costs incurred in training newly hired
or promoted  managers and related  relocation  expenses.  Due to our  aggressive
growth,  these  expenses  continued  at a high  level  of  $486,000,  or 1.0% of
revenue,  for the three  months  ended  September  25,  2000,  as compared  with
$497,000,  or 1.4 % of revenue, for the comparable period in 1999.  Year-to-date
new manager training costs were $1,420,000,  or 1.0% of revenue, and $1,171,000,
or 1.1% of revenue, for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decline as a percent of
revenue for 2000 is attributable to fewer new store openings.

Management fee income  declined  significantly  to 0.3% of revenue for the three
and nine months  ended  September  25,  2000,  as  compared  with 0.6% and 0.7%,
respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. Three Louisiana

T.G.I.  Friday's stores that were operated under a management contract were sold
in January 2000.  The sale  terminated our contract to operate the three stores,
which caused the decrease in management fee income.

Interest expense was $892,000,  or 1.8% of revenue,  and $2,715,000,  or 1.9% of
revenue,  for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September  25, 2000,  as
compared with $653,000, or 1.8% of revenue, and $1,907,000,  or 1.9% of revenue,
for the comparable  periods in 1999.  Interest expense has increased  because of
debt incurred for the development of new restaurants in 1999 and 2000 along with
related market rate increases.

We  recognized  tax expense of $75,000  during the quarter  ended  September 25,
2000, which leaves us with a year-to-date  $9,000 net tax expense. We recognized
the third quarter tax expense  because we expect  certain  states,  particularly
California,  to have taxable income in excess of net operating losses before the
end of 2000.

During the third  quarter of 2000,  we replaced  two older loans from  Franchise
Finance  Corporation  of  America  (FFCA)  with a loan  from Bay View  Franchise
Mortgage  Acceptance Company (FMAC) because the terms were more favorable to our
company.  As part of the  transaction,  we incurred  early payment  penalties of
$16,000, which were recognized as extraordinary loss from debt extinguishment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current  liabilities  exceeded our current  assets because of the longer payment
terms on our development obligations,  inventories and other current liabilities
(payment  terms are  normally  15 to 30  days).  Comparatively,  the  restaurant
business cash cycle is very short and receives  substantially  immediate payment
for sales  transactions.  As of  September  25,  2000,  we had a cash balance of
$1,171,000  with  monthly  cash  receipts  sufficient  to pay  all  short-  term
outstanding obligations.  On a year-to-date basis, our current position improved
despite a $5,000,000 bridge loan. The bridge loan was repaid early in the fourth
quarter from the proceeds of our rights offering.

As of September  25, 2000, we had long-term  debt of  $43,512,000  and a current
portion of long-term debt of $1,830,000.  This $2,171,000  increase in long term
debt  was  caused  by  borrowings  for  our  continued  restaurant   development
commitments.

We opened  two new  restaurants  in the third  quarter  for a total of seven new
restaurants  for the nine  months  ended  September  25,  2000,  and have  three
additional  restaurants under construction.  In addition, we acquired two Bamboo
Club  restaurants  and the Bamboo Club concept for $12,000,000 on July 21, 2000.
One Bamboo  Club  restaurant  is located in  Phoenix,  Arizona  and the other is
located in  Scottsdale,  Arizona.  Another  Bamboo Club  restaurant is currently
under development in Tempe,  Arizona and is expected to be under construction in
early 2001.

As of September 25, 2000, we had outstanding  long-term debt and  sale/leaseback
financing  commitments  totaling  $11,024,000,  which will be  utilized  to fund
development  activity  through  the  first  quarter  of 2001.  We are  currently
negotiating  with  several  lenders for  financing  arrangements  to fund future
development.

We lease  our  restaurants  with  terms  ranging  from 10 to 25  years.  Minimum
payments on our existing lease obligations are approximately $9,900,000 per year
through 2004. Our total obligation for all signed leases is  $125,500,000,  with
the last base lease expiring February, 2024.

We  believe  that  our  current  operating  cash  resources,  lines  of  credit,
sale/leaseback financing commitments,  the proceeds from our rights offering and
expected  future  cash  flows from  operations  will be  sufficient  to fund our
capital  needs  during  the  next 12  months.  We might be  required  to  obtain
additional  capital  funding  for our  planned  growth  during the next 12 to 18
months and  beyond.  Potential  sources of any such  capital  may  include  bank
financing,   sale/lease-back  financing,  strategic  alliances,  and  additional
offerings of our equity or debt  securities.  We cannot  provide  assurance that
such capital will be available from these or other  potential  sources,  and the
lack of  capital  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  growth of our
business.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter,  we completed our shareholder rights
offering with  additional  stock issued during the week of October 9, 2000.  The
rights offering was  over-subscribed by approximately  15%. In total,  4,011,740
shares  were issued and we received  approximately  $9.3  million in new capital
(net of expenses). A portion of the proceeds was utilized to repay a bridge loan
obtained to fund the Bamboo Club acquisition.  The remainder will be utilized to
fund our future growth.

We intend to continue  operating the existing Bamboo Club restaurants and we are
developing plans to expand the concept by opening additional restaurants.  Early
operating results since the acquisition validate our purchase  assumptions.  The
Bamboo Club  restaurants have been  successfully  assimilated into the company's
processes and reporting systems.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our net exposure to interest  rate risk  consists of floating  rate  instruments
that are  benchmarked to U.S.  short-term  interest  rates. We incur interest on
mortgage  loans made under lines of credit at variable  interest rates of 1.125%
over prime and 2.65% over "30-Day Dealer Commercial Paper Rates" As of September
25,  2000,  we  had   outstanding   borrowings  on  these  lines  of  credit  of
approximately $4,700,000.
