                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (IN THOUSANDS)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the twelve and
forty week periods ended April 8, 1997 and April 2, 1996 have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial
information as of July 2, 1996 is derived from the Macheezmo Mouse Restaurants,
Inc. (the "Company") financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 2, 1996. Certain information or
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and
recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year
ended July 2, 1996, as included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year then ended.

  Operating results for the twelve and forty week periods ended April 8, 1997
and April 2, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire fiscal year ending July 1, 1997, or any portion thereof.

2. RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1996 financial
statements to conform with the fiscal 1997 presentation. These reclassifications
had no impact on previously reported results of operations or shareholders'
equity. 

3. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

  Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less; investments consist primarily of commercial
paper and government securities. The Company's investments in marketable
securities are classified as "held to maturity" under the definition contained
in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. Accordingly, these
securities are carried at amortized cost, which is not materially different from
cost at April 8, 1997.

4. NET LOSS PER SHARE

  Net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding
shares of common stock in the periods presented. Common equivalent shares from
stock options are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.
 
5. IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" 
("SFAS 128") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, 
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which are 
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. The Company believes 
the implementation of these statements will not have a material effect on its
results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

  The Company commenced operations in 1981 with the opening of its first
restaurant in Portland, Oregon.  As of April 8, 1997 the Company owned and
operated 18 Macheezmo Mouse restaurants. There were two restaurants opened and
one restaurant closed in the 40 weeks ended April 2, 1996 and one restaurant
closed during the 40 weeks ended April 8, 1997. The change in number of
restaurants operating affects the comparability of results of operations from
period to period. Sales volume for a new restaurant generally is higher in the
first three four-week periods after the restaurant is opened than in subsequent
periods, in part as the result of special promotional efforts in the opening
periods.  In addition, new restaurants may have lower restaurant operating
income as a percentage of sales due to higher fixed costs of operations.

  The Company prepares statements of operations for 13 periods each year. The
first fiscal quarter, generally comprised of the months of July through
mid-October, includes four periods (sixteen weeks), and each of the following
three quarters includes three such periods (twelve or thirteen weeks). Because
of the longer first fiscal quarter, the Company's sales and operating income are
typically highest in the first fiscal quarter. The Company's fiscal year ends on
the Tuesday closest to June 30; July 1, 1997 for fiscal 1997. The Company's
fiscal year ending July 1, 1997 is a 52 week period and its fiscal year ended
July 2, 1996 was a 53 week period.

  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company developed a restructuring
plan to address the declining profitability and operating losses in each quarter
of fiscal 1996, and to help restore profitability. This restructuring plan
resulted in the recording of restructuring expense of $2.9 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996, and included the closing of three restaurants and a
partial write-down of fixed assets at existing restaurants to their estimated
fair market value, based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
which establishes standards to identify and measure impairment of long-lived
assets. The restructuring charge consisted of a reserve of $337,000 for the
estimated costs associated with restaurant closures and the settlement of lease
obligations for restaurants closed, and $669,000 and $1,889,000 of non-cash
charges for the write-down of closed and existing restaurant assets,
respectively, to their estimated fair market values. During the first forty
weeks of fiscal 1997, the Company used a portion of the restructuring reserve
for the settlement of lease obligations for two restaurants which closed in June
1996 and for certain other employee related costs associated with such closures.
In the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company closed its restaurant in
Issaquah, Washington, and recorded a reserve of $50,000 for the estimated costs
associated with the restaurant closure and the settlement of related lease
obligations. 

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

  The statements concerning expected results of operations, future capital
requirements, working capital needs, and future business activities constitute
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors
that could adversely affect expected results of operations include, but are not
limited to, lower than expected same restaurant sales, competitive factors
(including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and price
pressures), the availability of labor, food ingredients and beverages at
reasonable prices, seasonal differences in sales volume and difficulties
implementing new menu offerings. Factors that could materially increase the
Company's future capital requirements include, but are not limited to, changes
in menu offerings and a longer than expected period to achieve market acceptance
of new menu offerings. Factors that could adversely affect the Company's working
capital needs include, but are not limited to, each of the factors noted above,
as well as business conditions and growth in the restaurant industry and general
economy. Factors that could materially impact the Company's expected future
business activities include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to
maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market and the
general business conditions noted above.

TWELVE WEEKS (THIRD QUARTER) AND FORTY WEEKS ENDED APRIL 8, 1997 COMPARED TO
TWELVE WEEKS (THIRD QUARTER) AND FORTY WEEKS ENDED APRIL 2, 1996

  SALES, NET. Restaurant sales decreased  in the third quarter of fiscal 1997
to $1.6 million from $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, and
decreased in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 to $5.9 million from $7.5
million in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1996. Net sales were based on 18 and
22 operating restaurants in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Same restaurant sales  decreased 13.1% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 and 14.6% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1997, compared to the
same periods in fiscal 1996. In the third quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company
closed its restaurant in Issaquah, Washington due to slowing sales, and is
continuing to experience decreased sales at many of its other restaurants. If
sales continue to decrease in the coming quarters, the Company may consider
closing other restaurant locations. In the second quarter of fiscal 1997 the
Company was closed for holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day)
which represented 57 operating days company-wide, and lost 43 restaurant
operating days company-wide due to inclement weather during the quarter. During
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 only limited advertising and marketing was
placed as the Company focused on concept viability, awareness building and new
menu development, from which long term marketing and advertising plans were
developed.

  COSTS AND EXPENSES.

  Food, beverage and packaging costs increased as a percentage of net sales to
31.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from 28.4% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 30.4% in the first
forty weeks of fiscal 1997 from 27.6% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1996.
The increases, as a percentage of net sales, were primarily the result of
decreased net sales in the same periods and the addition of new and more
expensive menu items.

  Restaurant labor expense, which consists primarily of restaurant management
and hourly employee wages, payroll taxes, worker's compensation and group
insurance, increased as a percentage of net sales to 37.1% in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 from 34.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, and increased as
a percentage of net sales to 35.5% in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 from
33.1% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1996. The increases, as a percentage
of net sales, were attributable to increases in the minimum wage, increases in
wages and employee benefits in order to remain competitive in the Company's
labor markets, and decreased net sales in the same periods.

  Other restaurant operating expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to
26.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from 25.2% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 24.3% in the first
forty weeks of fiscal 1997 from 22.7% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1996.
The increases, as a percentage of net sales, were primarily due to the decline
in same restaurant sales. Most of these expenses, such as rent, utilities and
miscellaneous supplies and services, are substantially fixed in nature. As
restaurant sales decrease, these expenses increase as a percentage of net sales.

  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased as a percentage of net sales
to 5.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from 9.0% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, and decreased to 4.7% in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 from
8.0% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1996, due primarily to the write down
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 of closed and existing restaurant assets to
their estimated fair market values in accordance with the adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" (SFAS No. 121).

  General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to
40.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from 19.8% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, and increased to 31.4% in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 from
20.4% in the first forty weeks of  fiscal 1996. The increases, as a percentage
of net sales, were primarily attributable to increased advertising spending and
expenses related to menu development and the roll out of new menu items, and the
decline in same restaurant sales. In the third quarter of 1997, the Company
initiated a new radio, newspaper and transit advertising campaign, at a cost of
approximately $160,000.


                                          8

<PAGE>

Additionally, in March 1997 the Company announced the termination of its
proposed acquisition of Todo, Inc., the owner and operator of 17 restaurants in
the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area, due to the failure of Todo, Inc. to
obtain investor commitments for a financing required as a condition to the
acquisition. Approximately $48,000 of expenses related to the proposed
acquisition were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997.

  INCOME TAXES.  The Company is in a net deferred tax asset position and has
generated net operating losses in the current year. Accordingly, no provision
for or benefit from income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying
statements of operations. The Company will continue to provide a valuation
allowance for its deferred tax assets until it becomes more likely than not, in
management's assessment, that the Company's deferred tax assets will be
realized.

QUARTERLY VARIABILITY

  The Company's restaurants have historically experienced higher average weekly
sales in the first and fourth fiscal quarters. Accordingly, operating income
margins and net income margins have been and are expected to continue to be
higher in each of those quarters than in the second and third quarters.
Furthermore, quarterly results have been substantially affected by the timing of
new restaurant openings, in part because of the Company's policy of expensing
pre-opening costs.  In addition, the first quarter includes 16 weeks of
operations, compared with 12 or 13 weeks for each of the remaining three
quarters. Consequently, consecutive quarter-to-quarter comparisons of the
Company's results of operations may not be meaningful, and results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the actual results for a full fiscal
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Over the past two fiscal years, the Company has financed its capital
requirements through cash flows from operations and the proceeds from its
initial public offering in September 1994.

  Working capital at April 8, 1997 was $1.6 million, including $900,000 of cash
and cash equivalents and $1.2 million of short-term investments in marketable
securities.

  Cash used in operating activities in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997 was
$1.2 million, primarily resulting from a net loss for the period, adjustments
for depreciation and amortization, a decrease in the restructuring reserve; and
an increase in accounts payable, accrued payroll and expenses, deferred rent and
other liabilities, principally the result of timing.

  Cash provided by investing activities in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997
was $570,000. Cash balances in excess of operating requirements remained
invested in readily marketable commercial paper and U.S. government securities.
Purchases of short-term investments in marketable securities were $1.7 million,
and proceeds from maturity of short term investments in marketable securities
were $2.5 million in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997. 

  Cash provided by financing activities in the first forty weeks of fiscal 1997
was $33,000, consisting of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

  The Company has a revolving line of credit which provides for the borrowing
of up to $600,000, (limited to 80% of the Company's marketable securities, and
secured by such marketable securities), at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at April
8, 1997), which expires on October 31, 1997. No borrowings were outstanding
under the line of credit at April 8, 1997.  Amounts available under the line of
credit can be used to support letters of credit of up to $200,000; of which
approximately $40,000 was outstanding at April 8, 1997. 

  In addition to the remaining restructuring reserve, the Company's future
capital requirements are expected to consist primarily of marketing campaigns,
menu development and signage changes. At April 8, 1997 the

Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company
expects that current cash and short-term investment balances, along with amounts
available under its line-of-credit, and cash from operations, will be adequate
to fund the Company's operations over the next 12 months. The Company has from
time to time evaluated opportunities for acquisitions and expansion and intends
to continue to consider strategic alternatives for future growth.

  In March 1997, the Company was informed it was not maintaining the minimum
bid price requirements for continued quotation on the Nasdaq National Market
System ("Nasdaq NMS"), and that its common stock could be subject to delisting
from Nasdaq NMS. In May 1997 Nasdaq requested that the Company, by June 16,
1997, either evidence compliance with the minimum bid price criteria or submit a
definitive plan that will ensure compliance. If the Company's Common Stock is
delisted from Nasdaq NMS and does not qualify for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, trading, if any, in the Company's Common Stock may thereafter be
conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board
established for securities that do not meet the Nasdaq listing requirements, or
in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets".  As a result, an investor
would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as
to the price of, the Company's Common Stock. In addition, if the Company's
Common Stock were delisted from Nasdaq NMS, trading of the Common Stock would be
subject to "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities.  Consequently,
delisting of the Company's Common Stock from Nasdaq NMS, if it were to occur,
and if the Common Stock was not eligible for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the
Company's Common Stock and the ability of purchasers of the Company's Common
Stock to sell their securities in the secondary market.
