Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On April 1, 1996, the Registrant consummated the acquisition of 100% of the
common  stock of EMNDEE,  Inc.  ("EMNDEE")  pursuant  to a share  exchange.  The
Registrant issued an aggregate of 432,735 shares of common stock in exchange for
the  stock of  EMNDEE.  EMNDEE is the  general  partner  of,  and holds a 50.91%
interest in, The Grill Limited  Partnership,  a California  limited  partnership
(the "Grill Partnership"),  which owns and operates The Grill on the Alley ("The
Grill").

     Subsequently, on April 22, 1996, the Registrant consummated the acquisition
of 100% of the common  stock of The Grill on the Alley,  Inc.  ("Grill,  Inc.").
Grill, Inc. is a partner, and holds the remaining 49.09% interest,  in the Grill
Partnership.  The  Registrant  issued an aggregate  of 417,265  shares of common
stock in exchange for the stock of Grill, Inc.

     The Grill is an upscale Beverly Hills  restaurant  which opened in 1984 and
served as the model for the Company's Daily Grill restaurants.

     The Company's principal  shareholders and directors (Robert Spivak, Michael
Weinstock and Richard Shapiro) controlled and were the principal shareholders 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.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Board of Directors
The Grill

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet of The Grill,  a  California
Limited  Partnership,  as of December  31,  1995,  and the related  statement of
income and  partners'  capital,  and cash flows for the year then  ended.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Grill, a California Limited
Partnership,  as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash  flows  for the year  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

         Leasehold improvements                     10 - 31.5 years

Maintenance  and repairs are  expensed as  incurred  and major  betterments  are
capitalized.

Income taxes
- ------------

The financial  statements  do not include a provision  for federal  income taxes
because the  partnership  does not incur federal or state income taxes.  Instead
its earnings are passed through to its partners and they are responsible for any
taxes on their  share of  income  allocated  to them.  The  State of  California
charges  a  minimum  tax of $800  paid  with  the  annual  filing  of the  state
partnership return.

Cash and cash equivalents
- -------------------------

The "cash and cash equivalents" asset account,  for purposes of the statement of
cash flows,  includes all cash accounts and  short-term  investments  with three
months or less to maturity at the financial statement date.
