                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.  GENERAL

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GB Foods
    Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
    of Regulation S-X. 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, 1997.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
    recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have
    been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
    indicative of results expected for a full year.


2.  BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share has been calculated in accordance with Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128").
    Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
    shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption
    that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or
    exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under
    this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the
    beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if
    funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average
    market price during the respective period. Basic net income per share was
    calculated using the average number of shares outstanding for the three
    months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of 6,397,914 and 6,261,843, respectively
    and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of 6,396,947 and
    6,261,843, respectively. Diluted net income per share was calculated using
    the average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30,
    1998 and 1997 of 7,224,934 and 6,662,304, respectively and for the six month
    period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of 7,501,899 and 6,939,407,
    respectively. Prior year earnings per share have been restated.

3.   INCOME TAXES

    At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
    federal tax purposes of approximately $11,906,000 which, if unused to offset
    future taxable income, will expire between 2008 and 2012, and approximately
    $5,694,000 for state tax purposes which if unused will expire between 1999
    and 2002. These net operating loss carryforwards resulted in a potential
    deferred tax asset of approximately $4.4 million as of December 31, 1997.
    However, SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded
    against tax assets which are not likely to be realized. Due to the uncertain
    nature of the ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset, based upon the
    Company's past operating performance and expiration dates of the loss
    carryforwards, the Company established a full valuation allowance at
    December 31, 1997 against these carryforward benefits and is recognizing
    the benefits only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable.
    Realization is entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax
    jurisdictions. While the need for this valuation allowance is subject to
    periodic review, if the allowance is reduced, the tax benefits of the
    carryforwards will be recorded in future operations as a reduction of the
    Company's income tax expense.

    As of June 30, 1998, the Company has continued to provide a valuation
    allowance to offset the related deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty
    of realizing any benefit therefrom. The Company will continue to evaluate
    the need for a 100% valuation allowance.

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On July 13, 1998 the Company announced that the Board of Directors set
    record and meeting dates for meetings at which the shareholders will be
    asked to approve the previously announced merger with Timber Lodge
    Steakhouse, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBRL) and the acquisition of JB's Family
    Restaurants, Inc. from CKE Restaurants, Inc. The shareholders meeting will
    be held at the Four Seasons Biltmore, 1260 Channel Drive, Santa Barbara,
    California, on September 1, 1998 at 10:00 a.m. local time. All shareholders
    of record at the close of business on July 31, 1998 will be entitled to vote
    at the meeting. A registration statement pertaining to the TBRL merger and
    the JB's acquisition has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
    Commission and has been declared effective. The registration statement
    includes the Company's prospectus for the TBRL shareholders and the proxy
    statements of both companies combined into a single document.

   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 second quarter of 1998 decreased $53,978 or (4%)
to $1,321,109 compared with revenues of $1,375,087 during the same period in
1997. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $26,687 or
1% to $2,613,181 compared to $2,586,494 for the same period in 1997.

        Revenues from restaurant operations for the second quarter of 1998
decreased $54,984 or (7%) to $731,756 compared with $786,740 for the
corresponding period in 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 revenue
from restaurant operations decreased $93,876 or (6%) to $1,430,363 compared with
$1,524,239 for the same period in 1997.

        Franchise royalties earned in the second quarter of 1998 increased
$29,313 or 10% to $329,760 from $300,447 for the second quarter in 1997.
Franchise royalties earned for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased
$16,035 or 3% to $590,968 from $574,933 for the corresponding period in 1997.
This increase in revenue was primarily due to the increase in the number of
dual-concept franchise stores in operation.

        The following is a summary of dual-concept franchise store activity
during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively:

</TABLE>

        The total number of free standing franchise stores were 41 and 42, at
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

        Franchise fee income decreased $4,443 or (4%) to $109,350 in the second
quarter of 1998 from $113,793 in the second quarter of 1997 primarily due to 12
dual-concept franchise store openings during the second quarter of 1998 compared
with 13 dual-concept store openings for the second quarter of 1997. Franchise
fee income increased $74,174 or 43% to $248,676 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 from $174,502 for the corresponding period in 1997. During the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 there were 28 dual-concept franchise store
openings compared with 18 dual-concept store openings for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997.

        On an aggregate basis, cost of sales and occupancy and other operating
costs expressed as a percentage of sales for the Company owned restaurants have
increased during both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997. These unfavorable increases are the direct
result of increased payroll expenses resulting from the September 1, 1997 and
March 1, 1998 increases in the California minimum wage and lower revenues from
Company owned restaurants in 1998 as compared with 1997. Cost of sales from
restaurant operations (food, packaging, payroll and other employee benefits) as
a percentage of sales were 68% and 65% for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997,
respectively and 71% and 65% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Occupancy and other operating costs from restaurant operations
expressed as a percentage of sales were 28% and 27% for the second quarter of
1998 and 1997, respectively and 29% and 27% for the six month period ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This unfavorable increase is the direct result
of increases in the California minimum wage and lower revenues in 1998 as
compared to 1997.

        General and administrative expenses decreased $67,185 or (17%) to
$332,502 in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $399,687 in the second
quarter of 1997. General and administrative expenses decreased $174,395 or (21%)
to $648,537 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $822,932
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to a
general reduction in the corporate payroll, legal and consulting expenses, and
other costs related to the development of the dual-concept business.

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.

YEAR 2000 SYSTEM COMPLIANCE

        Because many systems have been programmed to use two-digits (rather than
four) to define the applicable year, all companies must analyze their systems
and make necessary software and hardware changes to ensure that automated
processes will correctly identify "00" as the year "2000" rather than "1900,"
when the date changes to January 1, 2000. As of June 30, 1998 the Company had
completed its preliminary review of all its data related systems and the year
2000 should not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods. However, the
inability of suppliers or distributors and other vendors to resolve such
processing issues in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on the
Company. Accordingly, the Company will establish alternative suppliers,
distributors and or vendors, which are year 2000 compliant.


EFFECT OF INFLATION

        The Company's food and labor costs are subject to inflation. 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. On
October 1, 1996, the federal statutory minimum wage was increased to $4.75 per
hour. On March 1, 1997 the California statutory minimum wage was increased to
$5.00 per hour and again increased on September 1, 1997 to $5.15 per hour. The
California minimum wage was again increased on March 1, 1998 to $5.75 per hour.
The continued increase in the statutory minimum wage has negatively impacted the
Company's margins in its direct operations. At June 30, 1998, approximately 38
of the 53 hourly employees were paid the California statutory minimum wage. In
addition, most of the Company's leases have escalation provisions based on the
consumer price index and increases in store revenues. Most leases also require
the Company 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 majority of the effects of inflation to date through small price
increases and economies resulting from the purchase of food products in
increased quantities due to the increased number of franchise stores.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
$3,458,079 at June 30, 1998 and $3,452,717 at December 31, 1997. The increase in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments is primarily due to net income
from operations, net of investments in property and equipment. During the second
quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company used $690,000 to acquire a restaurant
facility (land and building) which the Company leases to a third party.
Management believes the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments will be sufficient to finance current and forecasted operations and
obligations.
