                       Sixteen Weeks Ended April 20, 1996
                 Compared to Sixteen Weeks Ended April 22, 1995

     Net sales  increased  $2.8 million,  or 7.9%, to $38.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996,  from $35.4  million in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995. The increase in net sales came from the nine new  restaurants  opened
in fiscal year 1995,  and three new  restaurants  opened in the first quarter of
1996.  Comparable  restaurant  sales during the first quarter were flat, but the
Company  estimates  that over 3.0% of total sales were lost due to severe winter
weather.

     Cost of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased from $9.1 million in
the sixteen  weeks ended April 22, 1995,  to $9.8  million in the  corresponding
1996 period.  As a percentage  of net sales,  these costs were 25.5% in the 1995
fiscal period, and 25.6% in the 1996 fiscal period.  Although the price of olive
oil, tomatoes,  flour, and cheese increased, the Company was able to offset most
of the increase by more efficient operations.

     Restaurant  operating  expenses for the sixteen-week  period increased from
$17.3  million in fiscal year 1995,  to $19.9  million in fiscal year 1996. As a
percentage  of net sales,  operating  expenses  increased  from 48.9% during the
sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, to 51.9% during the corresponding  period in
1996. The increase was the result of advertising  costs of 3.5%, as a percentage
of net sales, that were not present during the first quarter of 1995.

     General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  from $2.6  million in the
sixteen  weeks ended April 22, 1995, to $2.5 million in the  corresponding  1996
period,  and  decreased,  as a  percentage  of net sales,  from 7.5% in the 1995
sixteen-week  period, to 6.5% in the 1996 sixteen-week period. This decrease was
the result of  attrition  at the  corporate  level,  and a reduction in training
costs due to fewer store openings expected this year.

     Depreciation and  amortization  expense  decreased,  as a percentage of net
sales, from 7.8% in the 1995 period,  to 7.1% in the 1996  sixteen-week  period.
This  decrease  was  attributable  to the  amortization  expense  on  fewer  new
restaurants.

     Taxes  other than income  increased  from $1.9  million  during the sixteen
weeks ended April 22, 1995,  to $2.1 million in the  corresponding  1996 period,
due to increases in real property taxes on rented property.

     Interest expense  increased from $323,000 to $418,000 for the sixteen weeks
of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  This increase was  attributable  to the higher
amount of bank borrowings in the 1996 sixteen-week period.

     The effective  income tax rate  increased  from 36.4% for the sixteen weeks
ended April 22, 1995,  to 37.5% for the  corresponding  period  ending April 20,
1996.

                        Liquidity and Sources of Capital


     To date,  the Company has  financed its  expansion  from  operations,  bank
borrowing, and private placements and public offerings of equity securities. The
Company does not have  significant  receivables  or inventory and receives trade
credit based upon negotiated terms in purchasing food and supplies.

     The Company has a bank  line-of-credit  in effect until  November 30, 1997,
under which it may borrow up to $30.0 million. On November 30, 1997, the Company
will be able to convert the balance, if any, to a term loan maturing on November
30,  2000.  The  Company  pays a fee of 1/4  of 1% on the  unused  balance,  and
interest is calculated using LIBOR plus 1.25%. There are no compensating balance
arrangements or legal restrictions as to the withdrawal of these funds. At April
22,  1995,  and  April  20,  1996,  the  amounts  outstanding  under  this  bank
line-of-credit were $18.9 and $19.4 million, respectively.

     During the sixteen  weeks ended April 22,  1995,  and April 20,  1996,  the
Company's  investment  in  property  and  equipment  was $6.6  million  and $4.2
million,  respectively.  The  investments  were  funded  with cash  provided  by
operations, and with the proceeds of financing activities.

     Cash provided by  operations  amounted to $1.4 million and $3.8 million for
the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 1995, and April 20, 1996,  respectively.  Cash
from financing  activities  amounted to $5.0 million for the sixteen-week period
in 1995.

     The Company  opened three new  restaurants  in the first  sixteen  weeks of
1996, and expects to open a total of 8 new restaurants by the end of fiscal year
1996,  with an additional  five  restaurants  planned for fiscal year 1997.  The
Company expects to expend  approximately  $13.0 million in fiscal year 1996, and
approximately  $10.0  million  in fiscal  year 1997 to  finance  expansion.  The
Company  believes  that  it  will  have  sufficient  working  capital  and  bank
borrowings to finance its expansion plans through the end of fiscal year 1997.
