                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (unaudited)

1. Summary of Certain Accounting Policies
- - -----------------------------------------

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GB Foods
  Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the
  instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required
  by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
  adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
  necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1996.
  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
  statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
  ended December 31, 1995.

2. Net Loss Per Share
- - ---------------------

  Net loss per share is based on 6,293,851 and 5,675,469 weighted average shares
  outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
  respectively.  Outstanding stock options and warrants are considered common
  stock equivalents.  The assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would
  have an anti-dilutive effect in 1996 and 1995 and therefore have not been
  included in the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the net loss
  per share calculation.

3. Stock Issuance
- - -----------------

  On March 31, 1995, the Company agreed to issue 108,000 shares of Company
  Common Stock to certain franchisees in exchange for a release of potential
  claims against the Company and, in certain instances, to obtain a reduction in
  the mile radius clause of the related franchise agreement.  Accordingly, the
  Company recorded a charge of approximately $648,000 in March 1995.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

     The Company's revenues are primarily derived from restaurant operations at
Company-owned stores and franchise royalties and fees received from franchise
stores.  Total revenues for the first quarter of 1996 decreased $369,208 (24%)
to $1,157,172 compared to revenues of $1,526,380 for the first quarter of 1995.

     Revenues from restaurant operations for the first quarter of 1996 decreased
$504,197 (40%) to $760,326 from $1,264,523 for the corresponding period in 1995.
This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the sale of five Company-
owned stores to a franchisee in October of 1995, and the closure of one Company-
owned store at the end of February 1996.  In addition, same store sales
decreased $25,711 (3%) in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the first
quarter of 1995.  As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had seven and
thirteen Company-owned stores, respectively.

     Franchise royalties for the first quarter of 1996 increased $52,252 (30%)
to $225,393 from $173,141 earned during the first quarter of 1995, primarily due
to an increase in the number of dual-concept franchise stores in operation.  The
total number of free-standing franchise stores was comparable at 45, for both
the first quarter of 1996 and 1995. The following is a summary of the dual-
concept franchise store activity during the first quarter of 1996 and 1995:

     Franchise fee income for the first quarter of 1996 was $78,422 compared to
zero earned in the first quarter of 1995 because of the twenty-six dual-concept
franchise store openings discussed above.  The one dual-concept franchise store
opening in the first quarter of 1995 was a test-store and therefore was not
required to pay a franchise fee.  Fourteen of the dual-concept franchise stores
will be closing prior to April 1998.

     Cost of sales for restaurant operations (food, packaging, payroll and other
employee benefits) expressed as a percentage of sales ranged from 65% to 75% and
62% to 79% for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Occupancy and other operating costs for restaurant operations expressed as a
percentage of sales ranged from 21% to 43% and 19% to 40% for the quarters ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  On an aggregate basis, cost of sales and
occupancy and other operating costs expressed as a percentage of sales for the
Company restaurants have remained consistent in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to 1995.

     General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
decreased to $666,523 compared to $703,551 in the first quarter of 1995
primarily because of decreased legal fees.

     Included in litigation settlement and related costs in the first quarter of
1995 is a charge of $648,000 resulting from an agreement entered into by the
Company to issue Company Common Stock to certain franchisees in exchange for a
release of potential claims against the Company and, in certain instances, as
                                                           
                                                               (continued)

recognition for a reduction in the mile radius protection clause of the related
franchise agreements.
 
     Impact of Company Expansion Plans on Operations.  The management of the
Company anticipates that continued expansion of the dual-concept restaurant
business will improve the Company's liquidity and profitability by generating
additional franchise fees and royalties.  The Company anticipates that its
existing management will be able to supervise the additional franchise sales and
existing franchise stores, as well as manage the Company-owned stores without
the addition of significant personnel in the next 12 months.

     Effect of Inflation.  Food and labor costs are significant inflationary
factors in the Company's operations.  Many of the Company's employees are paid
hourly rates related to the statutory minimum wage, therefore, increases in the
minimum wage increase the Company's costs.  In 1990, the federal statutory
minimum wage was increased to $4.25 per hour.  This increase in the statutory
minimum wage has not had a material impact on the Company's current operations
as the Company's hourly employees have been paid the statutory minimum wage
since 1989.  At March 31, 1996, approximately 15 the Company's 68 hourly
employees are paid the statutory minimum wage.  In addition, most of the
Company's leases require it to pay base rents with escalation provisions based
on the consumer price index, in addition to percentage rentals based on
revenues, and to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance, repairs, and utility costs,
all of which are expenses subject to inflation.  The Company has been able to
offset the effects of inflation to date through small price increases and
economies resulting from the purchase of food products in increased numbers due
to the increased number of Green Burrito stores.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had working capital of $618,670 at March 31, 1996 compared to
$612,865 at December 31, 1995 including cash and cash equivalents of $203,161 at
March 31, 1996 and $216,728 at December 31, 1995.  Management believes the
Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient
to finance current and forecasted operations and obligations.
