         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   INTERIM FINANCIAL PRESENTATION

     The interim financial  statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
     for reporting on Form 10-QSB.  The December 31, 1995 balance sheet data was
     derived  from  audited  financial  statements  but  does  not  include  all
     disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The
     interim   financial   statements  and  notes  thereto  should  be  read  in
     conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  notes  included  in the
     Company's   Form  10-KSB  dated  December  31,  1995.  In  the  opinion  of
     management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a
     normal  recurring  nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for
     the interim periods presented. The current period results of operations are
     not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for
     the full year ending December 29, 1996.

2.   BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

     On March 3, 1995, pursuant to an exchange agreement previously entered into
     by Magellan  Restaurant Systems,  Inc. (Magellan) and Grill Concepts,  Inc.
     (GCI),  GCI  became a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Magellan.  Immediately
     following the exchange, the name of Magellan was changed to Grill Concepts,
     Inc., a Delaware corporation, and now is the Company.

     All of GCI's common stock was exchanged  for  8,500,000  shares of Magellan
     Common Stock.  As a result,  following the Exchange,  holders of GCI common
     stock  controlled 63% of the outstanding  common stock of the Company,  and
     for   accounting   purposes   the   acquisition   has  been  treated  as  a
     recapitalization  of GCI  with GCI as the  acquiror.  The  transaction  was
     therefore  accounted  for as a  purchase  under the  "reverse  acquisition"
     method. The resulting goodwill is being amortized over 30 years.

     As a result of the above,  these interim statements include the accounts of
     GCI and  Magellan  on a  consolidated  basis for  1996.  The  Statement  of
     Operations  for 1995 includes the  operations of GCI for the entire 13 week
     period and the  operations  of Magellan for only the 3 week period  between
     March 3, 1995 and March 26, 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.


Material  Changes in Results of Operations  for the Three Months Ended March 31,
1996 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 26, 1995.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Due to the  Exchange  explained  in the  Notes  to  Unaudited  Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements, the results of operations for the 13 week period
ended March 31, 1996 include all operations of Grill  Concepts  Inc.,  including
six Daily Grill  restaurants  and three  Pizzeria  Uno  Restaurants  on the east
coast.  The 1995 results  include the operations of six Daily Grill  Restaurants
for all 13 weeks and the  operations for a three week period of the Pizzeria Uno
Restaurants.

     The  Company's  revenues  for the three  month  period  increased  16.1% to
$5,246,000 from $4,520,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase in revenues
was  primarily  attributable  to the  added  period  of time  the  Pizzeria  Uno
Restaurants are included in 1996. During the period, the Daily Grill restaurants
experienced a 4% reduction in sales when compared to the 1995 first quarter.

     While revenues increased by 16.1% in the 1996 quarter, when compared to the
same period in 1995, cost of sales increased only $130,000 (10.6%) and decreased
as a  percentage  of sales from 26.9% to 25.7%.  The  Pizzeria  Uno  Restaurants
produced a nearly  similar  cost of sales of 24.3% in 1996  versus  24.4% in the
1995  period.  Daily Grill  restaurant  costs  decreased  from 27.0% to 26.7% of
sales.  This can be attributed to slight price  increases,  but more importantly
results from continued  control and monitoring of food and beverage  costs. As a
result, gross profit increased 18.0% from $3,304,000 (73.1% of sales) in 1995 to
$3,900,000 (74.3% of sales) in 1996.

     Total  operating  expenses rose 20.1% to  $3,849,000 in 1996,  representing
73.4% of  sales,  from  $3,205,000  in the 1995  quarter,  70.9% of  sales.  The
increase  in  operating   expenses  was  primarily   attributable  to  increased
restaurant  operating  expenses.  With sales  increasing  16.1% and gross profit
increasing 18.0%, restaurant operating expenses increased 19.7% to $3,187,000 in
1996,  from $2,660,000 in 1995. As a percentage of sales,  restaurant  operating
expensed  increased  from  58.8% in the  1995  period,  to  60.7% in 1996.  This
percentage  increase is primarily  attributable  to the addition of the Pizzeria
Uno  Restaurants  which have a higher  operating  cost,  together  with a slight
increase in the cost  percentage  for Daily Grills with fixed costs being spread
over less sales in 1996 as compared with the 1995 quarter.

     General and administrative  expenses increased $92,000 to represent 9.0% of
sales in the 1996 period while  amounting to 8.4% of sales in the first  quarter
of 1995.  This increase  resulted  primarily from added  corporate costs for the
Pizzeria Uno  Restaurants  included  for the full  quarter this year,  offset by
management income from The Grill on the Alley restaurant.

     Net  interest  expense  was  comparable  between the current and prior year
first quarters.

     As a result of the  above,  the  Company  reported  a net profit of $12,000
compared with a profit in the first quarter of 1995 of $62,000.

Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     At March 31, 1996 the Company had negative  working capital of $844,000 and
a cash balance of $335,000 as compared to negative  working  capital of $949,000
and a cash  balance of $631,000 at December  31,  1995.  The increase in working
capital and decrease in cash was primarily attributable to reducing payables and
accrued liabilities.

     Historically,  the Company  funded its  day-to-day  operations  through its
operating  cash  flow,  while  funding  growth  through  a  combination  of bank
borrowing,  loans  from  stockholders/officers,  the  sale  of  Debentures,  the
issuance of warrants and loans/advances from certain of its landlords.  At March
31,  1996,  GCI had  existing  bank  borrowing  of  $1,280,000,  an SBA  Loan of
$168,000,  loans from  stockholders/officers  of  $84,000,  loans/advances  from
landlords and others of $160,000.

     On April 30, 1995,  $1,600,000 of the Company's  bank  borrowing was termed
out over a 5 year  period  payable in 60 equal  monthly  installments  beginning
April 30,  1995,  with all  remaining  principal  amounts due on March 31, 2000.
Interest is payable  monthly at a variable rate equal to the lender's  reference
rate plus 0.625% (8.87% at March 31, 1996). There is an additional $500,000 line
of credit available through November 30, 1996.

     During  the  current  year,  the  Company  expects  to utilize a minimum of
$1,900,000 to open three additional restaurants.

     While the Company does not expect to incur any costs in connection with the
opening of the proposed  Daily Grill at LAX,  which costs are being funded by CA
One, a joint venture  partner,  and expects to incur limited costs in connection
with the acquisition of The Grill, opening of the Irvine, California Daily Grill
is  anticipated to cost  approximately  $600,000 and opening of a Daily Grill in
Washington, D.C. is anticipated to cost approximately $1.3 million.

     Management  believes  that the Company has  adequate  resources on hand and
through cash flow to sustain operations for at least the following 12 months and
to open the LAX and  Irvine  restaurants.  In order to fund the  opening  of the
Washington,  D.C.  Daily Grill the Company will  require,  and intends to raise,
additional  capital  through  the  issuance  of debt or equity  securities.  The
Company presently has no commitments in that regard.


Impact of Inflation
- - -------------------

     To date,  inflation has not been a major factor in the Company's  business.
There can be no assurances,  however, that this will continue to be the case. To
the extent that it is  commercially  feasible,  menu prices will be adjusted for
increases in food and labor costs when appropriate.

of EMNDEE.  Commencing in 1995, the Company has provided  management services to
The Grill in  exchange  for a  management  fee in an  amount  equal to 5% of the
revenues of The Grill.  Previously,  Robert  Spivak,  the  Company's  president,
provided  management  services  on his own  behalf to The Grill and  received  a
salary from The Grill.

     The Company's outside directors  negotiated the terms of the acquisition of
EMNDEE  as well as the terms of the  acquisition  of the  remaining  partnership
interests  in the Grill  Partnership.  Messrs.  Spivak,  Weinstock,  and Shapiro
abstained from voting with respect to approval of the acquisition of The Grill.
