                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2000

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     a)  Nature of Operations

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
         of Soulfood Concepts, Inc. ("the Company"), organized under the laws of
         the state of Delaware on December 14, 1992 and its subsidiaries. The
         Company operates restaurants in New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago,
         IL and Atlanta, GA, specializing in Southern cuisine.

     b)  Basis of presentation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
         assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31,
         2000, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,702,632 and an
         accumulated deficit of $2,178,237. Additionally, the Company has
         defaulted on certain notes; however, the note holder has agreed to not
         seek relief as the Company attempts to restructure the debt. These
         matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
         as a going concern.

     c)  Earnings Per Share

         The computation of primary earnings per share is based on the weighted
         average number of outstanding common shares during the period.

     d)  Unaudited Interim Information

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
         accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB, and therefore, do not
         include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
         with generally accepted accounting principles.

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
         recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
         been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March
         31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
         expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. The unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
         the Company's December 31, 1999 annual report included in SEC Form
         10-KSB.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)


         The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the Federal
         statutory rate is as follows:

         Federal income tax rate                           (34.0)%     (34.0)%
         Deferred tax charge (credit)                          -           -
         Effect on valuation allowance                      34.0%       34.0%
         State income tax, net of federal benefit              -           -
                                                           ------     ------

         Effective income tax rate                           0.0%        0.0%

         At March 31, 2000, the Company had net carryforward losses of
         approximately $1,125,000. Because of the current uncertainty of
         realizing the benefit of the tax carryforward, a valuation allowance
         equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has been established. The
         full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carryforward
         depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable
         income during the carryforward period.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE


         On May 21, 1997, Chicago sold an aggregate of $350,000 of 10%
         Convertible Secured Notes (the "10% Notes"). The 10% Notes bear
         interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the principal sum outstanding
         and matured on May 21, 1999 (maturity of $250,000 of the 10% note was
         extended to September 1, 2000). Interest is payable semi-annually on
         June 30 and December 31. The holders of the 10% Notes are entitled, at
         their option at any time, to convert any or all of the original
         principal amount of the 10% Notes into Common Stock of the Company at a
         conversion price equal to the lessor of i) $3.00 or ii) 70% of the
         offering price per share of the Company's Common Stock as established
         in a public offering of the Company's Common Stock.

         On January 26, 1998, Atlanta sold an aggregate of $265,000 of 8%
         Convertible Secured Notes (the "8% Notes"). The 8% Notes bear interest
         at the rate of 8% per annum on the principal sum outstanding and
         matured on January 26, 2000. Interest is payable semi-annually on June
         30 and December 31. The holders of the 8% Notes are entitled, at their
         option at any time, to convert any or all of the original principal
         amount of the 8% Notes into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion
         price equal to the lessor of i) $2.20 or ii) 70% of the offering price
         per share of the Company's Common Stock as established in a public
         offering of the Company's Common Stock. The 8% Notes were not repaid.

         Following a public offering of the Company's Common Stock, if, at the
         end of any rolling thirty (30) consecutive trading day period (the
         "Measuring Period") the Common Stock has traded for each trading day
         during the Measuring Period at 140% of the Public Offering price per
         share or higher, the Company may, in its sole discretion, give notice
         to a Note Holder of a mandatory conversion. The Holder shall, upon
         receipt of such notice, surrender its Note to the Company and receive
         in exchange those that number of shares of Common Stock as determined
         by dividing the principal amount converted by the Conversion Price then
         in effect at the time of conversion. No fractional shares or scrip
         representing fractions of shares will be issued on such a conversion,
         but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole
         share, with the fraction paid in cash at the discretion of the Company.

         The Notes are secured by all assets held by Chicago and Atlanta, with
         the exception of the point of sale computer systems.

NOTE 12 -  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


         The Company is in the process of negotiating the sale of the L.A.
         store's lease, inventory and fixed assets. As of the date of this
         report, there has been no commitment received by the Company for a
         purchase.

         The Company intends to reopen Chicago in the second or third quarter of
         2000, once a restructuring of the Company's debt is finalized and new
         personnel have been properly trained.


         The Company is presently negotiating a restructuring of its short-term
         debt with two principle investors. The parties connected to the
         short-term debt have agreed not to move against the Company for
         non-payment of these loans in the year 2000. The related party debt
         will be satisfied by the issuance of common stock to the major
         stockholder for $543,383 along with forgiveness of debt of
         approximately $335,000.

                         ITEM 2. SOULFOOD CONCEPTS, INC.
           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.


GENERAL


     Soulfood Concepts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), owns and
operates full service, upscale soul food restaurants under the name of The Shark
Bar[ ]Restaurant. We also hold a 62% interest in one other full service, soul
food restaurant operating under the name of Mekka[ ]restaurant.

     The original Shark Bar restaurant, which was opened in New York City in
1990, is a full service 95-seat restaurant. In March 1997, we opened a
three-floor 9,000 square foot Shark Bar(R) restaurant in Chicago. In September
1997, we opened a third Shark Bar(R) restaurant in Los Angeles in a 6,500 square
foot facility. In March 1998, we opened a fourth Shark Bar restaurant in a
10,000 square foot location in Atlanta.

     As of March 31, 2000 we operated three full service restaurants in
locations in New York City, and Atlanta. The Los Angeles and Chicago units were
closed in June and July 1999 respectively, primarily due to unsatisfactory
management performance and subsequent decline in sales. We intend to sell the
Los Angeles unit and engage a turnaround plan to reopen the Chicago location,
which showed high receptivity to the concept and produced overwhelming initial
trial. Chicago will be reopened in second quarter 2000 under the name The Shark
Bar[ ]Restaurant, Chicago.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The Company's revenue is generated from the sale of food and beverage in
its units. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
approximately 27% to $1,624,699 from sales of $2,224,872 during the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This reduction in sales is due to the closing of two of
our units, the Los Angeles Shark Bar and the Chicago Shark Bar, in June and July
of 1999 respectively. The Company intends to sell the Los Angeles unit and
re-open the Chicago location in the second quarter 2000.


     Use of EBITDA. This discussion includes, among other factors, an analysis
of operating income before depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") in order
toeliminate the effect on the operating performance of the business of
significant amounts of amortization. Financial analysts generally consider
EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance for the
business, and when used in comparison to debt levels or the coverage of interest
expense, as a measure of liquidity. However, EBITDA should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow
and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.


     There was a reduction in cost of goods sold ("COGS"), to $413,449 for the
period ending March 31, 2000 from $675,032 for the same period in 1999 as a
result of the loss of operations for the two units. COGS expense margin,
however, was reduced 5% to 25% for the first quarter 2000 from 30% for the same
period 1999. Unit EBITDA increased 12.9% for the period ended March 31, 2000 to
$333,107 from $295,113 for the same period in 1999. Unit EBITDA, with the
exclusion of costs for the closed

                                      -17-
<PAGE>


units, increased 28% for the period ended March 31, 2000 to $407,286 from
$295,113 primarily due to tighter operational controls and management of costs.
Unit EBITDA margins for first quarter 2000 was 20% compared to 13% for first
quarter 1999.

     Net income for period ended March 31, 2000 was $39,426 or 2.4% of revenue
compared with a net loss of $49,514 or (2.2%) for period ended March 31, 1999.

     With the exclusion of costs for the closed units, net income for the period
ended March 31, 2000 was $117,770 or 7.2% of sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


    Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $146,615 for the
period ended March 31, 2000 from $152,350 for the period ended March 31, 1999,
primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization from $95,200 for
period ended march 1999 to $38,371 for the same period 2000. Investing
activities used $6,204 for the period ended March 31, 2000 compared to $27,596
for the same period last year, which reduction is due to a lack of expansion
activities and the purchase of property and equipment associated with such
activities. Financing activities were significantly reduced to $67,586 for the
period ended March 31, 2000 from $100,610 for the same period last year
primarily because repayment of long term debt and capital distribution payments
were made in 1st quarter 1999.


     Cash at March 31, 2000 was $82,041 which increased from $9,216 at December
31, 1999 due to unit and G&A cost reductions and an increase in net profit
margins providing additional cash flow. Total assets were $1,701,535 for period
ended March 31, 2000 remaining virtually unchanged from period ending December
31, 1999 at $1,700428. Total liabilities decreased $54,106 to $2,789,649 from
$2,843,755.


     Accounts payable expenses are primarily due to the closing of the Chicago
and the Los Angeles units. Arrangements have been made with vendors to settle
outstanding amounts or, in the case of Chicago to wait until the reopening of
the store, to work out terms and payment. In all cases, there has been no action
taken against the company and there have been no adverse effects on operations.

     Accrued expenses include payroll, sales, other taxes with penalties and
interest, professional and other operating expenses. A settlement for all tax
liabilities is being negotiated with each taxing authority relative to the
claim. All outstanding payable are being negotiated and/or paid down from
operating funds.


       The effect of inflation has not been a factor upon either the operations
or the financial condition of the company. The Company's business is not
seasonal in nature.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any pending material legal proceeding. However, on January
20, 2000 Kevin Starkes commenced an action against the Company in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Kevin Starkes v.
Soulfood Concepts, Inc., 00 Civ. 0427. In the action, Mr. Starkes alleges, among
other things that the company discriminated against him on the basis of his race
(African-American) in violation of 42 U.S.C. ss.1981, the New York State Human
Rights Law and the New York City Human Rights Law by terminating his employment
in January 1998 and by failing and refusing to deliver certificates to him for
50,000 shares of stock which he claims were promised to him. The Company served
and filed an answer in this matter on March 1, 2000. The Company intends to
vigorously defend against this action.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

The Company did not repay approximately $365,000 to holders of convertible

Company, which are now due. The Company is presently negotiating a restructuring
of this debt with its investors. All parties connected to this debt (short-term
and related party) have agreed not to move against the Company for non-payment
of these loans in the year 2000.
