NOTE A  -         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  The accompanying  unaudited condensed 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  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,  1997.  Company  management  believes  that  the
                  disclosures  are  sufficient for interim  financial  reporting
                  purposes.


NOTE B  -         EMBEDDED INTEREST EXPENSE

                  Under the credit agreement,  amounts advanced may be converted
                  to common  stock at the lesser of (i)  $13.30,  or (ii) 80% of
                  the average closing bid price of the common stock for the five
                  consecutive  trading days  preceding  the date of  conversion.
                  Accordingly,  the Company recorded  embedded  interest expense
                  for advances made under the line of credit. For the six months
                  ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  recorded  $313,000 of net
                  embedded interest expense relating to these advances.

                  The board of directors amended the conversion features on July
                  27, 1998 so that the line of credit may be converted to common
                  stock at the  lesser  of (i)  $13.30  per  share,  or (ii) the
                  closing bid price of the common stock on the date prior to the
                  date of conversion.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE C  -         EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

                  During the first  quarter of 1998,  the  Company  recorded  an
                  extraordinary  gain of $1.53 million on the  extinguishment of
                  its $2,995,358 note payable to Cameron Capital.

                  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement dated February 18,
                  1998,  Cameron  agreed to dismiss its legal action against the
                  Company  and to accept as payment  in full of its  unconverted
                  debt  $1.3  million  cash  and  670  thousand  shares  of  the
                  Company's  common  stock  with a  market  value  of  $167,500.
                  Cameron does not have any registration  rights with respect to
                  the common stock,  but is eligible to resell  certain  amounts
                  immediately  pursuant to the  provisions of Rule 144 under the
                  Securities Act of 1933.


NOTE D  -         YEAR 2K DISCLOSURE

                  The Company is working to resolve the potential  impact of the
                  year  2000  on  the  ability  of  the  Company's  computerized
                  information systems to accurately process information that may
                  be date-sensitive. The Company has one program that recognizes
                  a date using "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year 2000
                  that could  result in errors or system  failures.  The Company
                  has not completed its assessment,  but currently believes that
                  costs of  addressing  this  issue  will  not  have a  material
                  adverse impact on the Company's financial position.

ITEM 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to three months ended  September
30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues.

Total revenues  decreased to $920 thousand for the three months ended  September
30, 1998,  compared with $1.293 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997, a decrease of $373 thousand or 29%. Same store  revenues  decreased 28% in
Hollywood  and 27% in Las Vegas.  The decrease was due to the closing of the Las
Vegas  restaurant,   the  Company's  limited  advertising  budget  and  customer
resistance  to changes in food  preparation  and  presentation.  Steps are being
taken which management believes will increase sales at the Hollywood restaurant.

Costs and expenses.

Cost of  revenues  decreased  from  $475  thousand  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1997 to $295  thousand for the three months ended  September  30,
1998. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased from 37% to 32%.

Operating  expenses  decreased  from $1.625  million for the three  months ended
September  30, 1997 to $667  thousand for the three months ended  September  30,
1998. As a percentage of revenues,  operating  expenses  decreased  from 126% to
73%.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $756 thousand for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1997 to 61  thousand  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1998.  As a percentage  of revenues,  general and  administrative
expenses  decreased  from  58% to  7%.  The  decrease  is  partially  due to the
reduction of the estimated accrued legal settlement to $100,000.

The  decrease  in  cost  of  revenues,   operating   expenses  and  general  and
administrative  expenses were due to the closing of two  restaurants and the new
plans and policies implemented by management.

Depreciation and amortization  decreased from $310 thousand for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997 to $147 thousand for the three months ended  September
30, 1998, reflecting the decrease in the number of buildings owned from three to
one. As a percentage of total revenues,  depreciation and amortization decreased
from 24% to 16%.

                                                                     (continued)

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


Interest expense increased from a $146 thousand dollar income to an $80 thousand
dollar expense,  reflecting  primarily the interest expense  associated with the
convertible debt financing arrangements entered into on February 12, 1997.

Minority  interest for the three months ended  September 30, 1997  reflected 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.  The Company  sold its
interest in Country Star Las Vegas LLC on December 30, 1997,  and entered into a
new  sublease  agreement  directly  between  the  Company  and a nominee  of the
landlord.  The Company is obligated to pay base rent of 50% of monthly  positive
cash flow.  During the three months  ended  September  30,  1998,  the Las Vegas
location did not generate positive cash flow and, therefore,  no rental payments
were made.

The Company closed its Las Vegas  restaurant upon the expiration of its lease on
September 30, 1998.  The Landlord of the  Restaurant was unwilling to extend the
lease  beyond the  scheduled  expiration  date.  As a result of this event,  the
remaining net value of the Las Vegas Restaurant equipment totaling $114 thousand
was written off on September 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by financing  activities for the three months ended  September
30,  1997  and  September  30,  1998  were  $1.030  million  and  $180  thousand
respectively, due primarily to the net proceeds from issuance of common stock in
1997 and borrowing under the convertible debt in 1998.

Net cash used in operating  activities for the three months ended  September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1998  decreased  from $1.059 million to $171 thousand due
primarily  to a decrease in accounts  payable  and the  settlement  with over 75
creditors during the three months ended September 30, 1997.

                                                                     (continued)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to nine months ended September 30,
1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues.

Total revenues  decreased to $2.954 million for the nine months ended  September
30, 1998,  compared with $5.289 million for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997, a decrease of $2.335 million or 44%. Same store revenues  decreased 35% in
Hollywood and 49% in Las Vegas. The decreases were due to the closing of Atlanta
and Las Vegas restaurants, the Company's limited advertising budget and customer
resistance  to changes in food  preparation  and  presentation.  Steps are being
taken which management believes will increase sales at the Hollywood restaurant.

Costs and expenses.

Cost of  revenues  decreased  from  $1.980  million  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1997 to $977  thousand  for the nine months ended  September  30,
1998. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased from 37% to 33%.

Operating  expenses  decreased  from $5.365  million  for the nine months  ended
September  30, 1997 to $2.250  million for the nine months ended  September  30,
1998. As a percentage of revenues,  operating  expenses  decreased  from 101% to
76%.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  from $3.0 million for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1997 to 1.057  million  for the nine months  ended
September  30, 1998.  As a percentage  of revenues,  general and  administrative
expenses  decreased  from  57% to 36%.  The  decrease  is  partially  due to the
reduction of the estimated accrued legal settlement to $100,000.

The  decrease  in  cost  of  revenues,   operating   expenses  and  general  and
administrative  expenses were due to the closing of two  restaurants and the new
plans and policies implemented by management.

Depreciation and amortization  decreased from $1.081 million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1997 to $442  thousand for the nine months ended  September
30, 1998, reflecting the decrease in the number of buildings owned from three to
one. As a percentage of total revenues,  depreciation and amortization decreased
from 20% to 15%.

                                                                     (continued)

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

Interest  expense  decreased from $2.050  million to $488  thousand,  reflecting
primarily the embedded  interest  expense  associated with the convertible  debt
financing arrangements entered into on February 12, 1997.

Minority  interest for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  reflected 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.  The Company  sold its
interest in Country Star Las Vegas LLC on December 30, 1997,  and entered into a

lease  beyond the  scheduled  expiration  date.  As a result of this event,  the
remaining net value of the Las Vegas Restaurant equipment totaling $114 thousand
was written off on September 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by financing  activities  for the nine months ended  September
30,  1997  and  September  30,  1998  were  $2.981  million  and  $132  thousand
respectively,  due  primarily to the net proceeds  from issuance of common stock
and  borrowings  in 1997 and borrowing  under and  repayment of the  convertible
debts in 1998.

Net cash used in operating  activities  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1998  decreased from $3.782 million to $1.333 million due
primarily to the settlement with over 375 creditors during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

The  Company  will  need  to  raise  additional  capital  before  it can  attain
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.

ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES

                  On  January  31,  1998 the  Company's  convertible  debentures
                  issued  in  October  1997  for  $150,000  were   automatically
                  converted into 461,538 common shares in accordance  with their
                  terms.

                  On  February  12,  1998  the  Company  effected  a one for ten
                  reverse  common stock split.  Accordingly,  all  references to
                  numbers of common shares, except shares authorized, and to per
                  share  information  in  the  financial  statements  have  been
                  adjusted to reflect the reverse  stock split on a  retroactive
                  basis.

                  On February 18, 1998,  the Company  issued  670,000  shares of
                  Common  Stock  to  Cameron  Capital  Ltd.  under a  Settlement
                  Agreement  relating to settlement  of the Company's  long term
                  debt  obligation  to Cameron  and issued  warrants  to acquire
                  43,333  shares of the  Company's  common  stock at an exercise
                  price  of  $6.25  per  share  to an  institutional  lender  in
                  connection with the settlement.

                  The  issuance  of the  warrants  and of the common  stock were
                  exempt  from  registration  pursuant  to  Section 4 (2) of the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                  On March  10,  1998 the  National  Association  of  Securities
                  Dealers,  Inc. (the "NASD") delisted the Company's  securities
                  from the  NASDAQ  National  Market  because  of the  Company's
                  failure to meet listing  requirements  concerning  minimum bid
                  price and market value of public float and advised the Company
                  its  securities  may be eligible to trade on the OTC  Bulletin
                  Board. The Company will take all actions reasonably  necessary
                  for there to be an active trading  market for its  outstanding
                  common stock.

                  During  August and September  1998 the holders of  convertible
                  debt of the  Company  in the  aggregate  principal  amount  of
                  $146,554  converted their debt into 2,420,000 shares of common
                  stock.

                  The  convertible  debt holders have  converted  14.750 million
                  shares of common stock after September 30, 1998.

                                                                     (continued)
