         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and information relating to two new restaurants that opened on March
22, 1997 (Chicago) and September 17, 1997 (Los Angeles).

Results of Operations for Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and
Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by approximately
56% to $4,090,186 from sales of $2,625,223 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The principal reasons were an 8% sales increase at two
existing locations, as well as two new restaurant locations which contributed
$1,226,585 to nine month sales. Sales for the company for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 of $1,517,216 were approximately 68% more than sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 of $905,265. On-site operating profits,

before corporate G&A, taxes and depreciation, increased at Shark Bar New York
from $324,110 (18% of sales) for the nine months ending September 30, 1996 to
$512,019 (25% of sales) for the 1997 corresponding period, an increase in
percentage terms of better than 50%. Cost of sales increased to 27.96% during
1997 from 27.04% during 1996.

At the corporate level, income before depreciation, amortization, other income
(expenses) and provision for income taxes increased to $230,505 from $167,265 in
the previous year. This increase is due to higher sales and lower operating
expenses as a percentage of sales at existing stores.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Subsequent Acquisitions

Cash at September 30, 1997 was $121,958 which increased from $80,751 at December
31, 1996 due to new locations providing additional cash flow. Assets increased
by $1,259,713 to $1,836,260 mainly due to the acquisitions and opening of two
new restaurant locations in Chicago and Los Angeles. Total liabilities increased
by $1,092,920 to $1,542,168 in part due to loans raised in acquiring the two new
restaurants.

In furtherance of the Company's nationwide expansion strategy, the Company has
committed to purchase an existing 10,000 square foot restaurant and lease called
"Jasmin's" in Atlanta, Georgia. The lease is for eight years with a five year
option with an annual base rent of $67,200, thereafter adjusted by the capital
CPI index.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations will provide adequate
resources to meet its capital requirements and operational needs for the
foreseeable future.
