            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monterey
Pasta Company (the "Company") and are unaudited.  Certain amounts shown in the
1995 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
presentation.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A.  In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows as of March 31, 1996 and for all periods presented have been recorded.  A
description of the Company's accounting policies and other financial information
is included in the audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, as amended by Form 10-K/A.  The consolidated results of
operations for the interim quarterly periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results expected for the full year.

2.  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

Additions to property, plant and equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 
1996, included $91,629 that were financed by advances from the equipment 
revolving line of credit.  Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, 
debt totaling $2,666,666 plus interest representing guaranteed conversion 
discount of $172,907 was converted into common stock (refer to footnote 6).

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 1995, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which requires adoption of the disclosure provisions no later
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The new standard defines a
fair value method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments.
Under the fair value method, compensation is measured at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award and is recognized over  the service period, which is
usually the vesting period.

Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but are not required, to
adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions.
Companies are also permitted to continue to account for employee stock-based
transactions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APBO") No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", but would be required to disclose in
a note to the financial statements pro forma net income and, if presented,
earnings per share as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting.

The accounting requirements of the new standard are effective for all employee
awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company
has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APBO No.
25 and will adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 in 1996.

7.  INCOME TAXES

The net operating loss carryforwards generated for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 were fully offset with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties about
their realization.

</TABLE>

Net revenues for the restaurant and franchise subsidiaries were $648,184 and
$1,893,494 for the first quarters of 1996 and 1995.

On April 19, 1996, the Company closed a transaction pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement between itself and Upscale Acquisitions, Inc., a California
corporation ("Upscale"), dated as of April 1, 1996 (the "Agreement").  Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company sold its shares in a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Upscale Food Outlets, Inc., a California corporation ("UFO"), which owns and
operates restaurants in California, Colorado and Washington which feature pasta
products under the name of "Monterey Pasta Company".  The purchase price of the
shares was $1,000 in cash and a note executed by Upscale in the principal amount
of $2,500,000.  Lance H. Mortensen, former Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Company, is a director of the Company.
Mr. Mortensen is also the sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer, President
and a director of Upscale.

9.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On April 23, 1996, the Company announced that it had received commitments to
purchase approximately $4 million of its common stock in a private offering to
accredited investors at $4.375 per share.  The shares of common stock are
restricted securities with registration rights.  Purchasers of the common stock
agreed not to sell such shares for one year from the date of purchase without
the consent of the placement agent.  Spelman & Co. acted as placement agent (the
"Placement Agent") on a "best efforts", "any or all" basis.  The Placement Agent
received no cash commissions in the offering but will receive warrants to
purchase one share of common stock for each $10 in shares sold, exercisable at a
price of $6.50 per share, for a term of seven years.  The net proceeds from the
offering will be used by the Company for advertising, marketing, promotion,
capital equipment and working capital.

10. CONTINGENCIES

See footnote 10 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements which
are included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year

items.

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

GENERAL

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes and other information included in this report.  The
financial results reported herein do not indicate the financial results that may
be achieved by the Company in any future period.

BACKGROUND

    Monterey Pasta Company produces and markets premium quality fresh gourmet
pasta and pasta sauces, emphasizing all natural ingredients.  Monterey Pasta
seeks to build brand recognition and customer loyalty by employing an aggressive
marketing program that focuses on developing complementary channels of
distribution and multiple points of sale for the Company's products.  The
Company markets and sells its products through grocery and club stores, national
food service distributors/contract feeders and nontraditional venues such as
sports coliseums and universities.

    Monterey Pasta currently offers 32 varieties of contemporary gourmet pasta
products that are produced using the Company's proprietary recipes, including
refrigerated cut pasta, ravioli, tortelloni, tortellini and pasta sauces.
Examples of the Company's pasta and pasta sauces include Snow Crab Ravioli,
Smoked Salmon Ravioli, Gorgonzola Roasted Walnut Ravioli, Sweet Red Pepper
Fettuccini, Santa Fe Linguini, Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce and Roasted Garlic
Artichoke Sauce.  Monterey Pasta believes its pasta products appeal to health-
conscious consumers who are seeking excellent quality, convenience and value.

    The Company sells its pasta and pasta sauces through leading grocery store
chains, including Safeway, Vons, Albertsons, Giant Foods, Stop & Shop, Hannaford
Bros., QFC, King Sooper, Cala/Bell, Abco, Smitty's, Nob Hill and Petrini's; and
club store chains such as Price/Costco.  As of March 31, 1996, more than 5200
grocery and club stores offered Monterey Pasta's products.

    Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company decided to
discontinue the business of its restaurant and franchise subsidiaries.  In 1995,
the Company wrote off its entire investment in its restaurant and franchise
subsidiaries and reclassified these susidiaries as discontinued operations.  On
April 19, 1996, the Company closed a transaction pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement between itself and Upscale Acquisitions, Inc., a California
corporation ("Upscale"), dated as of April 1, 1996 (the "Agreement").  Pursuant
to the agreement, the Company sold its shares in a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Upscale Food Outlets, Inc., a California corporation ("UFO"), which owns and
operates restaurants in California, Colorado and Washington which feature pasta
products under the name of "Monterey Pasta Company". The purchase price of the
shares was $1,000 in cash and a note executed by Upscale in the principal amount
of $2,500,000.  Lance H. Mortensen, former Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Company, is a director of the Company.
Mr. Mortensen is also the sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer, President
and a director of Upscale.

    There can be no assurance that these changes and the sale will lead to
improved operating results for the Company. The success of the Company's efforts
will depend on a number of factors, including whether grocery and club store
chains will continue to expand the number of their stores offering the Company's
products and whether the Company can continue to increase the number of grocery
and club store chains offering its products.  Grocery and club store chains
continually re-evaluate the products carried in their stores and no assurances
can be given that the chains currently offering the Company's products will
continue to do so in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Net revenues increased 60% to $6,133,087 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 as compared to $3,840,535 for the quarter ended April 2, 1995.  This
increase is the result of distribution to approximately 5,200 individual grocery
and club stores at March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately 1,600 at April 2,
1995.  Future revenues are expected to increase as the full effect of the
additional store participation has been fully assimilated into the Company's
distribution system.


                                          9

<PAGE>

    Gross profit was $2,603,672, or 42% of net revenues for the first quarter 
of 1996, compared to $1,469,933, or 38% for the first quarter of 1995. Gross 
profit has increased in 1996 as sales volumes have increased, primarily due 
to gains associated with processing larger production quantities and the 
positive impact experienced due to the upgrade and expansion of the Company's 
plant. Cost of sales includes raw ingredients, packaging materials, direct 
production labor and fixed and variable production overhead.  Increases 
associated with the cost of raw ingredients and packaging materials were more 
than offset by gains in direct production labor and production overhead 
associated with increased sales volumes.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 139%, to 
$3,043,456 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $1,271,820 for 
the first quarter of 1995.  These increases are attributable to the expansion 
of the Company's infrastructure which has required additional costs such as 
administrative and management salaries, recruiting and training of new 
personnel and related indirect costs which are necessary to support the 
Company's growth. In March 1996, the Company moved its corporate office from 
Danville, California to San Francisco, California and incurred lease 
termination charges totalling $103,000. Additionally, selling costs, 
particularly costs related to grocery store trade promotions, slotting fees 
and club store demonstrations, were higher as a result of the Company's 
efforts to obtain new customers and enter new geographic markets.

    Depreciation and amortization expense, included in cost of sales and 
selling, general and administrative expenses, was $196,418, or 3% of net 
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $191,695, or 5% of 
net revenues for the first quarter of 1995.  These expenses relate primarily 
to capital expenditures in our Monterey County production facility.  The 
Company anticipates increases in depreciation and amortization in future 
periods as additional equipment is purchased and placed into service.

    Loss on disposition of assets in the first quarter of 1996 primarily 
related to abandonment of leasehold improvements in Danville, California.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

    The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
operations to date.  Substantial increases in labor, employee benefits,
ingredients and packaging, rents and other operating expenses could adversely
affect the operations of the Company's business in future periods.  The Company
cannot predict whether such increases will occur.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, $2,567,875 of cash was
used in the Company's operations.  The use of this cash primarily related to the
funding of wind down activities associated with the Company's discontinued
restaurant and franchise subsidiaries, investments in retail slotting fees and
general working capital requirements.

    On April 23, 1996, the Company announced that it had received commitments
to purchase approximately $4 million of its common stock in a private offering
to accredited investors at $4.375 per share.  The shares of common stock are
restricted securities with registration rights.  Purchasers of the common stock
agreed not to sell such shares for one year from the date of purchase without
the consent of the placement agent.  Spelman & Co. acted as placement agent (the
"Placement Agent") on a "best efforts", "any or all" basis.  The Placement Agent
received no, cash commissions in the offering but will receive warrants to
purchase one share of common stock for each $10 in shares sold, exercisable at a
price of $6.50 per share, for a term of seven years.

    The Company plans to use approximately $1,500,000 of the net proceeds for
advertising, marketing and promotion.  In addition, approximately $1,000,000 of
the net proceeds will be used for capital equipment.  The balance will be added
to working capital and used for general corporate purposes.  Pending such uses,
the net proceeds will be invested in short-term, interest-bearing securities or
accounts.
