NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         of Country Star  Restaurants,  Inc.  have been  prepared by the Company
         pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
         Commission.

         The information  furnished herein reflects all adjustments,  consisting
         of only normal  recurring  accruals and  adjustments  which are, in the
         opinion of management,  necessary to fairly state the operating results
         for  the  respective   periods.   Certain   information   and  footnote
         disclosures  normally included in annual financial  statements prepared
         in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
         omitted  pursuant  to such  rules  and  regulations.  The  notes to the
         condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
         conjunction  with the notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements
         contained in the Company's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
         1996. Company  management  believes that the disclosures are sufficient
         for interim financial reporting purposes.

NOTE B - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

         On February 12, 1997, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement
         with Dan Rubin  ("Rubin") and Cameron  Capital  Ltd., an  institutional
         investor ("Cameron").

         The  secured  loan  agreement  provided  that  Cameron  had  the  fully
         assignable right to name three (3) members of the Board of Directors of
         the Company and that the Board of  Directors  shall not consist of more
         than five (5)  members.  Cameron  assigned  this  right to Rubin as its
         agent. Immediately after the closing of the secured financing,  Rubin's
         nominees,  Darren Rice,  William Wei and Robert Nardone were elected to
         the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Board then elected Rubin to
         fill the last seat on the Board of Directors.

         The  Board  then  elected  Dan  Rubin as Chief  Executive  Officer  and
         President,  and Robert L.  Davidson as Secretary  of the  Company.  Mr.
         Rubin  assumed  control of day-to-day  operations  of the Company.  Mr.
         Rubin is being compensated at the rate of $20,000 per month, payable in
         cash or common stock of the Company, valued at market value at the time
         of issuance. Mr. Rubin's employment is terminable at will.

         Rubin now owns  warrants  to  acquire  and  convertible  debt  which if
         converted  would allow him to acquire an aggregate of 929,510 shares of
         the  Company's  common  stock.  Upon  exercise  of  such  warrants  and
         conversion of the convertible  debt, Rubin would own 3.7% of the common
         stock of the Company now  outstanding.  None of the other newly elected
         directors  own any shares or  warrants  or other  rights to acquire any
         shares of the Company's common stock.

                                                                     (continued)


                                       9

NOTE B - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT (continued)

         Under the secured financing agreement, Rubin has made a $3,500,000 line
         of credit loan available to the Company, of which an initial advance of
         $500,000 was committed at closing.  Rubin, in his sole discretion,  may
         make additional  advances to the Company under this line of credit, but
         is not  required to make any such  additional  advances.  All  advances
         under the line of credit  loan bear  interest at the rate of prime plus
         four percent  (4%),  semi-annually  commencing  December 31, 1997.  The
         principal  balances of all line of credit  advances are due and payable
         on October 9, 1999.  In  consideration  for the initial  line of credit
         advance of $500,000,  the Company  issued a warrant to acquire  166,667
         shares of its  common  stock at an  exercise  price of $.625 per share,
         which was the market  value of the  Company's  common stock on February
         12, 1997.

         All  additional  line of credit  advances shall have the same terms and
         conditions  as the  initial  line of  credit  advance.  For  each  such
         additional  advance,  Rubin shall receive one (1) common stock purchase
         warrant for every $3 advanced.  The exercise  price for these  warrants
         shall be $.625 per share. All of the warrants issued or to be issued to
         Rubin  shall be subject  to  adjustment  in the event of stock  splits,
         stock dividends, mergers, consolidations, or similar corporate events.

         Cameron  exchanged its 4,000 shares of Series B  Convertible  Preferred
         Stock of the  Company,  with an  aggregate  liquidation  preference  of
         $4,000,000,  for a  convertible  term note in the  principal  amount of
         $4,000,000.  The  convertible  term note bears  interest at the rate of
         seven percent (7%) per annum, payable semi-annually commencing December
         31, 1997. The principal  balance is due and payable on October 9, 1999.
         Any portion or all of the principal  amount of the note outstanding may
         be converted  into common stock of the Company  commencing  ninety (90)
         days after the date of closing of the financing.  Upon conversion,  the
         Company shall issue that number of shares of its common stock  obtained
         by dividing the principal amount of the loan converted by the lesser of
         (i) $1.33,  or (ii) 80% of the average  closing bid price of the common
         stock for the five (5)  consecutive  trading days preceding the date of
         conversion.  The maximum  number of shares  into which the  convertible
         note may be  converted  shall  not  exceed  3,000,000.  The  conversion
         formula is subject to adjustment  in the event of stock  splits,  stock
         dividends, mergers, consolidations, or similar transactions.

         In  connection  with the  commitment  to make the line of credit  loan,
         Rubin and other  investors in the Company have agreed to settle certain
         claims against the Company for the amount of  $1,950,000,  plus $50,000
         in fees and expenses. The Company has issued its convertible term notes
         in the  aggregate  amount of  $1,950,000  and agreed to pay  $50,000 to
         Rubin  and  these  investors,  in  settlement  of their  claims.  These
         convertible

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE B - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT(continued)

         term notes  contain the same terms and  conditions  as the  convertible
         term  note  issued  to  Cameron,  except  that  the  holders  of  these
         convertible  term notes may exercise  their  conversion  feature at any
         time following the closing.

         The agreements  described above relating to the exchange of Convertible
         Preferred  Stock and the issuance of  convertible  term notes have been
         accounted for effective December 31, 1996 because  substantially all of
         the conditions  precedent to the occurrence of these  transactions  had
         taken place as of that date.

         The line of credit advances by Rubin,  Cameron's  convertible term note
         and the  convertible  term notes issued in settlement of claims are all
         secured by a lien on  substantially  all of the tangible and intangible
         assets of the  Company.  In the event of default,  the secured  parties
         shall  participate  in the proceeds of the  collateral in proportion to
         their outstanding debt.

         In connection with the secured financing  transaction,  Robert Schuster
         ("Schuster"),  Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
         Company,  resigned as Chief Executive Officer and agreed to release the
         Company from all obligations under his Employment Agreement,  including
         severance obligations.  Schuster continued to serve as a Director until
         February 13, 1997

         In  connection  with  the  secured  financing  transaction,  Mr.  Peter
         Feinstein  resigned as Director,  President and Chief Financial Officer
         of the Company and released the Company from all obligations  under his
         Employment Agreement, including severance obligations

NOTE C - EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

         During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company  continued the
         process of settling with its creditors that began in March of 1997. The
         Company  has  settled  with  over  300  creditors  as of  June  30,1997
         resulting in a gain of $1,325,986  and $1,353,478 for the three and six
         months ended June 30, 1997, respectively

1997,  compared with $1.077 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of $654  thousand or 61%,  primarily due to the opening of Country Star

30, 1996 to $586  thousand for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997.  Cost of
revenues as a percentage of revenues  increased from 27% to 34% primarily due to
the negative impact of the low revenues of the Las Vegas facility.  Country Star
Atlanta  was  closed on  February  22,  1997,  and  current  plans  call for its
reopening in the fall of 1997.

Operating expenses increased from $1.002 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996 to $1.647 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,  reflecting
the increase in the number of restaurants  from one to three. As a percentage of
revenues,  operating  expenses  were 93% and 95% for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and 1997 respectively.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $891 thousand for the three
months  ended June 30, 1996 to $813  thousand  for the three  months  ended June
30,1997.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  general and  administrative  expenses
decreased from 83% of revenues to 47% of revenues respectively.

Depreciation and amortization  increased from $117 thousand for the three months

to 22%.

Interest  expense  increased from $66 thousand to $128  thousand,  for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  reflecting the  convertible
debt financing arrangements entered into on February 12, 1997.

                                                                     (continued)

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

Minority  interest  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1997  reflects  the
Company's controlling interest of 50.05% in Country Star Las Vegas LLC triggered
by the  opening  of the Las  Vegas  facility  in  July,  1996.  Previously,  the
Company's investment in Las Vegas was accounted for under the cost method.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating  activities  for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1997  increased from $1.518 million to $1.728 million due primarily
to the decrease in Accounts  Payable in 1997.  The company has settled with over
300 creditors during the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  in the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1997 was $4.125  million  and $10  thousand,  respectively,  reflecting  the
Company's development of the Las Vegas and Atlanta facilities in 1996.

Net cash  provided by financing  activities  for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1997 was $2.411 million and $1.479 million,  respectively, due
primarily  to the net  proceeds  from the  issuance of common  stock in 1996 and
1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996

Revenues.

Total  revenues  increased  to $3.996  million for the six months ended June 30,
1997,  compared  with $2.081  million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of $1.915 million or 92%,  primarily due to the opening of Country Star
Las Vegas. Same store revenues (Hollywood) were substantially unchanged.

Costs and expenses.

Cost of revenues  increased from $622 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
1996 to $1.506 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Cost of revenues
as a  percentage  of revenues  increased  from 30% to 38%  primarily  due to the
negative  impact  of the  unsatisfactory  operations  of the  Atlanta  facility.
Country Star Atlanta was closed on February 22, 1997, and current plans call for
its reopening in the fall of 1997. 
                                                                     (continued)

Operating  expenses  increased from $1.773 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to $3.740  million for the six months ended June 30,  1997,  reflecting
the increase in the number of restaurants  from one to three. As a percentage of
revenues,  operating expenses increased from 85% to 94% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1997 respectively due primarily to operating difficulties with
Atlanta.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased from $1.909 million for the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 to $2.242  million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased
from 92% of revenues to 56% of revenues.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased from $234 thousand for the six months

reflecting  the increase in the number of  restaurants  from one to three.  As a

to 19%.

Interest  expense  increased  from $83  thousand to $198  thousand,  for the six

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1997  increased  from $2.069 million to $2.724 million due primarily to
the decrease in Accounts  Payable in 1997. The Company has settled with over 300
creditors during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Net cash used in investing  activities in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1997 was $4.631 million and $10 thousand, respectively, reflecting the Company's
development of the Las Vegas and Atlanta facilities in 1996.

                                                                     (continued)

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30,  1997 was  $2.988  million  and  $1.952  million  respectively  due
primarily  to the net  proceeds  from the  issuance of common  stock in 1996 and
1997, and convertible debt in 1997.

New management  took over the Company on February 12, 1997 and determined that a
major  overhaul of corporate  strategy  was required to deal with the  Company's
financial  problems.  Measures taken by new management include (i) the temporary
closing and planned  reopening of Country Star Atlanta in the fall of 1997, (ii)
the expansion of the "country"  theme,  (iii)  planned  expansion  through joint
ventures and licensing rather than expensive  construction,  and (iv) settlement
with the trade creditors at 40% of the amounts owed.

Management  has also made  operational  changes  to  improve  revenues,  control
operating  costs,  and limit  corporate  overhead.  The positive impact of these
measures  and changes  began to be  realized  in the second  quarter of calendar
1997.  The Company will need to continue to raise  additional  capital before it
can obtain profitability from operations.  Management believes it can raise this
capital  through  private  placements  of equity and the  granting by lenders of
discretionary advances under outstanding lines of credit.
