                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   FOR THE TWELVE AND TWENTY EIGHT WEEKS ENDED
                         JULY 18, 1999 AND JULY 12, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Silver Diner,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Diner
Development, Inc. ("SDDI"), (collectively the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the twelve and twenty eight week periods ended
July 18, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending January 2, 2000. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 1999.

2.   CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

On April 3, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up
Activities". SOP No. 98-5 requires that costs associated with start-up
activities, such as opening a new facility, be expensed as incurred. This SOP is
effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998, however, early application is encouraged.

Prior to the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 1998, the Company capitalized
preopening costs, including payroll, employee recruitment and advertising,
incurred in the restaurant start-up and training period prior to the opening of
each restaurant, and amortized these costs over twelve months from the date of
opening. For the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 1998 the Company elected early
application of SOP 98-5. As a result of the early application, all preopening
costs capitalized as of December 28, 1997 were expensed and recorded as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the sixteen weeks
ended April 19, 1998.

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

FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE

         Certain information included herein contains statements that are
forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion and
other business development activities as well as operating costs, capital
spending, financial sources and the effects of competition. Such forward-looking
information is subject to changes and variations which are not reasonably
predictable and which could significantly affect future results. Accordingly,
such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of the Company. These changes and variations which could
significantly affect future results include, but are not limited to, those
relating to development and construction activities, including delays in opening
new Diners, acceptance of the Silver Diner concept, the quality of the Company's
restaurant operations, the adequacy of operating and management controls,
dependence on discretionary consumer spending, dependence on existing
management, inflation and general economic conditions, and changes in federal or
state laws or regulations.

GENERAL

      The Company currently operates ten Silver Diners in the
Washington/Baltimore metropolitan area and one in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Currently, there are no Silver Diners under construction. The Company is
pursuing additional locations in the Philadelphia/Southern New Jersey market and
throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Longer term, the Company plans to expand the
Silver Diner chain nationwide through additional openings of Company-owned
restaurants and possibly through the development of franchise or joint venture
relationships.

    Net sales for the twelve weeks ended July 18, 1999 ("Second Quarter 1999")
increased $255,977, or 3.9%, to $6,819,461, compared to $6,563,484 for the 12
weeks ended July 12, 1998 ("Second Quarter 1998"). Year-to-date, net sales for
the twenty-eight weeks ended July 18, 1999 ("1999 YTD Period") increased
$696,773, or 4.7%, to 15,539,191, compared to $14,842,418 for the twenty-eight
weeks ended July 12, 1998 ("1998 YTD Period"). The increase for Second Quarter
1999 was primarily attributable to sales generated by a 4.4% increase in
customer traffic coupled with a 1.1% increase in average guest check. The
increase for the 1999 YTD Period was attributable to similar increases in
customer counts and average guest check.

         Comparable Silver Diner sales (sales for Silver Diners open throughout
both periods being compared, excluding the initial six months of operations
during which sales are typically higher than normal) for the 1999 Second Quarter
increased 5.7% compared to the second quarter of 1998 and for the 1999 YTD
Period increased 7.1% compared to the 1998 YTD Period. The increases in
comparable sales for the quarter were the continuing result of the Company's
110% guarantee initiative and direct coupon mailing. The 110% guarantee
initiative calls for a 10% discount for a patron's current meal and a coupon for
a free entree if not completely satisfied with the meal, while the direct
mailing involved distributing discount entree coupons. These two initiatives
continued the trend of increased customer traffic over the first two quarters of
1998 and, combined with the increases in average net sales per customer
discussed above, resulted in the increased sales.

    Cost of sales, primarily food and beverage costs decreased to 26.2% of net
sales for Second Quarter 1999, compared to 27.7% of net sales for Second Quarter
1998. Cost of sales for the 1999 YTD Period were 26.1% of net sales, compared to
27.8% of net sales for the 1998 YTD Period. The decrease from the Second Quarter
1998 was attributable to the Company's ongoing focus on the cost of its menu
offerings combined with less extensive seasonal menu updates.

    Labor, which consists of restaurant management and hourly employee wages and
bonuses, payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance, group health insurance
and other benefits, decreased to 33.6% of net sales in Second Quarter 1999
compared to 33.7% of net sales for Second Quarter 1998. For the 1999 YTD Period,
labor expense as a percentage of sales decreased from 34.2% in the 1998 YTD
Period to 33.9%. During 1999 labor expenses, as a percentage of net sales, have
remained reasonably stable as a result of increased unit volumes partially
offset by a highly competitive labor market.

    Operating expenses, which consist of all restaurant operating costs other
than cost of goods, labor and occupancy, including supplies, utilities, repairs
and maintenance and advertising, decreased to 19.4% of net sales for Second
Quarter 1999, compared to 20.2% for Second Quarter 1998. For the 1998 YTD
Period, operating expenses decreased from 18.2% in 1998 to 17.7%. Operating
expenses in both the quarterly and year-to-date periods were favorably affected
by continued operational cost control efforts.

    Occupancy, which is composed primarily of rent, property taxes and property
insurance, increased $17,566 for Second Quarter 1999 compared to Second Quarter
1998. The increase of $34,760 for the 1999 YTD Period over the 1998 YTD Period
was due primarily to normal annual rent increases. As a percentage of net sales,
occupancy has decreased from 9.9% for Second Quarter 1998 to 9.8% for Second
Quarter 1999, and from 10.2% for the 1998 YTD Period to 10.0% for the 1999 YTD
period.

    Restaurant depreciation and amortization decreased $36,197 for Second
Quarter 1999 compared to Second Quarter 1998 and decreased $66,255 for 1999 YTD
Period compared to 1998 YTD Period. Both the decrease for the second quarter and
for the year-to-date period were due to the Fourth Quarter 1998 reduction in the
Company's asset base. Prior to the First Quarter 1998, the Company had
capitalized all preopening costs and amortized these costs over a twelve-month
period. As a result of the application of SOP No. 98-5, all preopening cost as
of December 28, 1997 were expensed and recorded as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle for the First Quarter of 1998.

    General and administrative expenses include the cost of corporate
administrative personnel and functions, multi-unit management and restaurant
management recruitment and initial training. Such expenses were $781,583 for
Second Quarter 1999, an increase of $195,819, or 33.4%, compared to Second
Quarter 1998. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
increased to 11.5% for Second Quarter 1999 from 8.9% for Second Quarter 1998.
The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees, a
significant portion of which involved reorganizing and streamlining the
Company's stock option plans, increased management recruitment and training
expenses due to an increase in the hiring of store managers to support the
Company's higher sales and timing differences related to investor relations
expense recognition. General and administrative expenses for the 1999 YTD Period
increased $355,540, or 24.5% from $1,451,773 in 1998 YTD Period. Despite the
increase in general and administrative expenses in the 1999 reporting periods,
the Company remains committed to controlling overhead expenses, and expects
general and administrative expenditures to decrease as a percentage of sales as
a result of overall operating leverage.

    Depreciation and amortization increased $14,670 for Second Quarter 1999 as
compared to $57,946 in the Second Quarter 1998 and increased $27,169 for 1999
YTD Period compared to $144,746 in the 1998 YTD Period. The increased expense
for both reporting periods is a function of purchases of equipment. Depreciation
and amortization included amortization expense of approximately $43,000 for both
the Second Quarter 1998 and 1999 and approximately $99,000 for both year-to-date
periods.

    The Company earned $30,373 in investment income for Second Quarter 1999,
compared to investment income of $44,301 for Second Quarter 1998. Investment
income for 1999 YTD Period was $67,167 compared to $94,879 in 1998 YTD period.
The decrease for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods is the result of
reduced levels of invested funds and slightly lower yields. Interest expense of
$5,763 in Second Quarter 1999 remained unchanged from the Second Quarter 1998.
For the 1999 YTD Period interest expense of $13,446 decreased by $2,059 as
compared to the 1998 YTD Period.

    Net loss for Second Quarter 1999 was $339,671, or $0.03 per share on a basic
and diluted basis, compared to $346,672, or $0.03 per share on a basic and
diluted basis, for Second Quarter 1998. Net loss before cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle for 1998 YTD Period was $797,083, or $0.07 per
share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to $652,165, or $0.06 per share on
a basic and diluted basis, for 1999 YTD Period. Net loss for the twenty-eight
weeks ended July 18, 1999 was $652,165, or $0.06 per share on a basic and
diluted basis, compared to $1,123,951, or $0.10 per share on a basic and diluted
basis for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 12, 1998. Management expects that
the Company will continue incurring losses until sufficient revenue is generated
from new units to absorb start-up expenses and the general and administrative
costs associated with developing and running the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At July 18, 1999, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.06
million, working capital was approximately $0.40 million, the Company had $0.27
million of long-term debt and stockholders' equity was approximately $17.61
million. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.29 million during the 1999 YTD
Period, due primarily to expenditures for property and equipment.

    The Company's principal future capital requirement is expected to be the
development of restaurants. Currently, the typical building, equipment
(including smallwares) and site development cost of a new Silver Diner prototype
is expected to be $1.3 to $1.5 million. However, due to above average site costs
and architectural and design costs, the five Silver Diner locations opened since
December 1995 have averaged approximately $1.8 million for building, equipment
and site costs. The Company is currently endeavoring to decrease the cost of the
Silver Diner prototype for the next restaurant. There is no assurance that the
Company's prototype redesign plans will produce significant savings in the
prototype costs. Land will generally be leased. When land is not leased,
management may pursue a purchase, sale-leaseback, build-to-suit or debt
financing strategy.

         At July 18, 1999, the Company did not have any restaurants under
construction, and as previously announced management does not anticipate opening
its next diner until the year 2000. The Company has been pursuing locations in
new geographical markets, specifically in the Mid-Atlantic area from North
Carolina to Southern New Jersey. To that end, the Company opened a new store in
Cherry Hill, New Jersey in November 1997, and is aggressively pursuing several
locations for new store openings. Management is continuing to negotiate to
obtain other sites throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Management believes that the Company's current capital resources and expected
1999 cash flow will be adequate to construct up to two units. Additional
financing will be required to finance growth in 2000 beyond the next two diners.
The Company has entered into a preliminary loan agreement with its lead bank to
extend a $3.0 million credit facility that, if obtained, would be sufficient to
fund at least two additional diners. Should the Company be unable to close on
the financing commitment, management may be forced to limit unit growth.



YEAR2000 ISSUE AND COMPLIANCE

         The Year2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer
equipment, software and other devices with embedded technology that are
date-sensitive may incorrectly recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business activities both at the restaurant and corporate level. The Company is
continually evaluating its risk and the related costs of updating its computer
hardware and software to properly process Year2000 and later dates. This process
includes the upgrade of its point of sale systems, which has been assessed by
the vendor as being Year2000 compliant, the successful completion of an embedded
technology evaluation of our restaurants and corporate offices and the continued
engagement of consultants and other contract service providers to evaluate the
preparedness of the Company's information technology systems as well as
non-information technology systems with embedded technology applications. The
Company has identified other areas potentially affected by the Year2000 issue:
credit card processing machines, and the Year2000 compliance of those entities
on which the Company relies for goods and services, such as its suppliers and
bank. The Company expects the cost related to the Year2000 issue to be between
$10,000 and $50,000 and has incurred costs of approximately $6,000 to date. In
the event that the Company's systems fail as a result of the Year2000 issue,
management believes that the Company's restaurants will remain operating on a
manual basis. The risks associated with this contingency plan involve the
decreased level of operational controls and the inability to process credit card
transactions.

         The forward-looking nature, lack of precedent and general uncertainty
surrounding the Year2000 issue present a difficult set of disclosure
circumstances, the only certainty is in fact uncertainty as to what might occur
after December 31, 1999. Management believes they have taken the necessary,
prudent steps relating to the Year2000 issue and its business enterprise.
However, management cannot guarantee that their actions are accurate or complete
and actual results could vary significantly from expectations. Notwithstanding
our preparation, unforeseen failures by third parties, public utilities and
infrastructure or our own failure to identify and remedy Year2000 issues could
have a material adverse impact on our restaurant operations, cash flows and
overall financial condition.
