                                  -----------



Note 1 - Financial Statements
- -----------------------------

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1997, and March 31, 1997, and
the results of operations and the cash flows for the three month and nine month
periods ending December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted.  These statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997, and notes thereto contained in the Company's 1997 Form 10-KSB
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 1997.  The results
of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 - Initial Public Offering
- --------------------------------

     In July, 1992, the Company completed its initial public offering of common
stock.  The offering consisted of the sale of 950,000 shares of the Company's
common stock and provided net proceeds to the Company of $4,125,939.  The
Company utilized approximately $305,000 of the proceeds for the repayment of
debt and used the remainder for expansion and working capital.

Note 3 - Restaurant Operations
- ------------------------------

     The Company currently operates three restaurants, one in Coral Springs,
Florida, one in Orlando, Florida, and one in Merritt Island, Florida, about
five miles from the Kennedy Space Center.  On July 9, 1997, the Company closed
it's Ft. Lauderdale restaurant, due to continuing and escalating losses.
Subsequently, as part of the operating subsidiary's Chapter 11 filing, as
disclosed in an 8-K filed July 25th, the Ft. Lauderdale restaurant's lease was
rejected.  The accounting entries for the rejected lease will be reflected in
the Company's financials following court approval of a submitted plan, in the
next few months.
