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 11 diners, 10 in the Washington/Baltimore
metropolitan area and one in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Currently, there are two
additional Silver Diners under construction, one in the Washington/Baltimore
metropolitan area and one in the Southern Virginia region. The Company is
pursuing additional locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region for restaurant
openings. 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 16 weeks ended April 23, 2000 ("First Quarter 2000") increased
by $120,449, or 1.4%, to $8,840,179, compared to $8,719,730 for the 16 weeks
ended April 25, 1999 ("First Quarter 1999"). Comparable store 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) in
First Quarter 2000 increased 1.4% compared to the first quarter of 1999.
Contributing to the increase in First Quarter net sales was a 3.5% increase in
average guest check partially offset by the impact of severe weather during the
quarter.

Cost of sales (primarily food and beverage cost) increased by $59,179, or 2.6%,
to $2,325,994 in First Quarter 2000 from $2,266,815 in First Quarter 1999. Cost
of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 26.3% in First Quarter 2000,
compared to 26.0% in First Quarter 1999.

                                       7

Labor, which consists of restaurant management and hourly employee wages and
bonuses, payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance, group health insurance
and other benefits, increased by $102,971, or 3.5%, to $3,083,615 in the First
Quarter 2000 from $2,980,644 in the First Quarter 1999. Labor as a percentage of
net sales increased to 34.9% in First Quarter 2000 from 34.2% in First Quarter
1999. The increased labor costs were the result of i) higher management
salaries, ii) increasing costs of taxes and benefits and iii) increasing cost of
hourly staff, driven by the tight labor market.

Operating expenses, which consist of all restaurant operating costs other than
labor and occupancy, including supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance and
advertising, increased by $277,046, or 19.3%, to $1,712,641 in the First Quarter
2000 from $1,435,595 in the First Quarter 1999. Operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales increased to 19.4% in First Quarter 2000 from 16.5% in
First Quarter 1999. The increase in operating expenses was largely due to a
significantly higher advertising expenditure in the First Quarter 2000 compared
to First Quarter 1999 coupled with increases in repairs and maintenance, new
uniforms, higher utility costs, escalating credit card fees and recruitment and
retention efforts focused on hourly staff.

Occupancy, which is composed primarily of rent, property taxes and property
insurance, increased by $2,906, or .3%, to $888,500 in the First Quarter 2000
from $885,594 in the First Quarter 1999. Occupancy as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 10.1% in First Quarter 2000 from 10.2% in First Quarter 1999.

Restaurant depreciation and amortization decreased $3,228 to $363,195 in First
Quarter 2000 compared to $366,423 in First Quarter 1999. The Company had
preopening costs of $25,663, relating to the start-up activities of the Virginia
Beach and Lakeforest locations. All preopening costs have been expensed as
incurred.

General and administrative expenses include the cost of corporate administrative
personnel and functions, multi-unit management as well as restaurant management
recruitment and initial training, increased by $72,873 to $1,099,840 in First
Quarter 2000 from $1,026,967 in First Quarter 1999. As a percentage of net
sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 12.4% in First Quarter
2000 from 11.8% in First Quarter 1999. This increase was largely related to
timing differences in recording the cost of printing and distributing the
Company's annual report, 10-K and annual proxy statement, as well as the
recruiting, placement and training of restaurant management and executive staff.
The Company's administrative overhead, as a percentage of net sales, remains
above the industry average primarily due to the cost of the corporate management
team required to support the Company's intermediate and long-term growth plans.
As revenues increase with the addition of new Silver Diners, general and
administrative expenses are expected to decrease as a percentage of net sales.

Investment income of $28,336 decreased by $8,458 in the First Quarter 2000,
compared to $36,794 in First Quarter 1999. The decrease is a result of slightly
lower levels of invested cash combined with lower yields. Interest expense
decreased by $623 to $7,061 in First Quarter 2000 from $7,684 in First Quarter
1999.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $11,669, or 11.8%, to $110,968 in
First Quarter 2000 compared to $99,299 in First Quarter 1999. Depreciation and
amortization included goodwill amortization expense of approximately $57,000 in
both First Quarter 2000 and First Quarter 1999.

Net loss for the First Quarter 2000 increased by $436,465 to $748,962 ($0.06 per
share on a basic and diluted basis) in First Quarter 2000 compared to a net loss
of $312,497 ($0.03 per share on a basic and diluted basis) in First Quarter
1999. Management expects that the Company will continue incurring quarterly
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

The Silver Diner's operations are subject to significant external influences
beyond its control. Any one, or any combination of such factors, could
materially impact the actual results of the Diner's operations. Those factors
include, but are not limited to: (I) changes in general economic conditions,
(II) changes in consumer spending habits, (III) changes in the availability and
cost of raw materials, (IV) changes in the availability of capital resources,
(V) changes in the prevailing interest rates, (VI) changes in the competitive
environment and (VII) changes in the Federal or State laws governing the
business.

At April 23, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.76 million,
the Company had no short-term investments, $267,000 of short-term debt and
stockholders' equity was approximately $16.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $625,000 during First Quarter 2000, due primarily to the sale of all
of the Company's short-term securities and cash generated from first quarter
operations.

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 approximately $1.3 to $1.5 million as compared to an average
cost of $1.8 million for the last five units constructed, including the
building, equipment and site costs. There is no assurance that the Company's
prototype redesign plans will produce significant savings in the prototype
costs. Land generally will be leased. When land is purchased, management may
pursue a sale-leaseback or debt financing strategy following the restaurant's
opening.

At April 23, 2000, the Company entered into lease agreements for two new
restaurants, Virginia Beach, Virginia and Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg, MD,
both of which are currently under construction and are expected to open in the
second and third quarters of 2000, respectively. The Company has been pursuing
additional locations in the Mid-Atlantic area from North Carolina to Southern
New Jersey. To that end, management is presently involved in active negotiations
with prospective landlords at several locations for additional Silver Diner
sites.

Management believes that the Company's current capital resources and expected
2000 cash flow will be adequate to construct two units. In October 1999, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with its lead bank to extend a $3 million
line of credit, of which the proceeds would be used to finance site acquisition,
development and construction of the new Silver Diner restaurants. The original
loan agreement was amended and a replacement agreement was executed in May 2000.
The Company has drawn $1,000,000 under the credit facility to fund construction
related costs. Additional financing will be required to finance growth in 2000
beyond the two diners. Financial covenants contained in the credit facility may
limit the Company's ability to incur new debt or draw all funds under the
credit facility which may restrict the Company's ability to expand.

Year 2000 Issue and Compliance

In connection with the Company's efforts to ensure that its information
technology systems and non-information technology systems were Year 2000
compliant, the Company incurred costs of approximately $17,000 during Fiscal
1999. Additionally, the Company was concurrently upgrading its point-of-sale
systems with a vendor that had been assessed as Year 2000 compliant. These
efforts and the related costs were necessary to ensure the Company did not
experience any significant system failures or other adverse effects on the
routine operation of the Diners. As a result, the Company has not suffered any
system failures to date. Management continues to monitor its technology-based
systems for any undiscovered issues.
