PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Macheezmo Mouse Restaurants, Inc. (the "Company") operates a chain of 14 quick
service restaurants which offer fresh, high quality Mexican-style food and other
non-Mexican style menu offerings. The Company's operating philosophy is to
provide customers with an alternative to typical fast food restaurants by
offering quick, made-to-order authentic Mexican food and other non-Mexican style
menu offerings that are "fresh, fit and fast." Although not marketed as health
food, many of the Company's menu items are intended to meet or exceed the
American Heart Association's guidelines for fat, cholesterol and sodium content.
The Company's restaurants offer dine-in and take-out lunch and dinner service
primarily in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. The Company closed four
restaurants in the state of Washington in fiscal 1997, and closed the Overlake
restaurant, located in Redmond, Washington in July 1997. SEE NOTE 7 OF NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The Company's restaurants feature an extensive selection of specialty and
traditional Mexican-style dishes, including burritos, salads, enchiladas,
quesadillas and tacos. These menu items can be ordered with a choice of grilled
chicken, grilled steak, grilled pork, or meatless. In fiscal 1997 the Company
introduced new burritos, enchiladas, tacos and non-Mexican style menu offerings.
The Company uses fresh ingredients in its menu items and prepares most food to
order. The Company's variety of foods is designed to appeal to a broad range of
customers. The Company believes many customers first dine at its restaurants
because the food is fresh and tastes good, and return because of the menu items'
variety, consistency, taste and high quality.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements concerning future capital requirements and working capital needs
constitute forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. 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, the factors noted above, as well as
business conditions and growth in the restaurant industry and general economy.
BACKGROUND
Although the Company's commitment to serving great tasting, high quality, fresh,
fit and fast food has not changed since the Company was founded, its concept has
been developed and refined since the first restaurant was opened in Portland,
Oregon in 1981. The original concept for the Macheezmo Mouse restaurants was
designed around a small storefront format and appealed primarily to walk-in
neighborhood lunch business. The Company has since acquired more knowledge of
its customer base and, simultaneously, consumer awareness of the importance of
fresh ingredients has broadened. The Company now focuses primarily on suburban
sites and has also introduced a new decor that is warmer, more comfortable and
more compatible with evening and weekend dining in addition to lunch. The
Company believes these changes have resulted in greater customer appeal and
increased evening and weekend business.
CONCEPT AND OPERATING STRATEGY
The Company's strategy has evolved into that of establishing a chain of
restaurants specializing in authentic, fresh, fit and fast Mexican food in a
quick-service, casual, fun environment. The Company has been an innovator in the
Mexican food quick-service market by emphasizing fresh Mexican food, and
2
<PAGE>
occasional menu offerings which are non-Mexican in origin, made from the highest
quality, authentic ingredients, offered at moderate prices in a dining niche
situated between fast food and casual dining restaurants. Research and the
Mexican food industry growth show that this dining niche has emerged as one of
the fastest growing in the restaurant industry. The Company is committed to
achieving and maintaining market leadership in the quick-service Mexican food
segment by:
- revising its menu by expanding the taste profile to broaden customer
appeal;
- endeavoring to maximize operating profit in its restaurants by closely
monitoring the performance of all units;
- improving upon its competitive position, marketing potential and
overall restaurant profitability; and
- increasing the Company's prominence within the quick-service, Mexican
food segment of the restaurant industry.
The Company's restaurants are a convenient and healthy alternative to more
common Mexican fare and are targeted to persons 25 to 55 years of age who prefer
a healthier and tastier dining alternative to fast food. The Company's
restaurants provide that dining alternative by offering a menu of authentic
Mexican dishes and other non-Mexican style menu items to customers more quickly
and at lower prices than full service Mexican food restaurants. The Company's
restaurants use fresh ingredients and enhance the flavors by using traditional
Mexican spices. Management believes that its concept differs from other Mexican
quick-service restaurants in its ability to offer delicious tasting, higher
quality food combined with convenience, speed of service and accessibility in a
casual dining atmosphere. The Company refers to this concept as "fresh, fit and
fast."
The Company spent approximately $25,000 on research and menu development
activities during fiscal 1997, primarily to identify consumer trends and respond
actively to these trends within its "fresh, fit and fast" Mexican concept. The
Company spent approximately $47,000 on research and menu development activities
during fiscal 1996.
QUALITY AND SUPPLY
The ability of the Company to maintain a consistent quality of food throughout
its restaurants depends upon purchasing food products and related items from
reliable sources. The Company approves its suppliers and requires them to adhere
to product specifications as to freshness and quality for all food products sold
in its restaurants. The Company has multiple food supply sources and regularly
obtains competitive bids for its food products to help insure that it is
receiving the best value. Management believes that all of the essential food and
beverage products used in the Company's restaurants are available from
alternative qualified suppliers for prices comparable to current prices.
RESTAURANT LOCATION AND PROTOTYPES
The Company believes that the location of a restaurant is important to its
success and devotes significant effort to the investigation and evaluation of
potential sites. The site-selection process focuses on a variety of factors
including target population density, area household income levels, visibility,
accessibility, traffic volume, proximity to activity centers such as shopping
malls, hotels and offices and potential competition at the location. The Company
performs regular analyses of each of its restaurants for continuing viability
and has closed restaurants that no longer meet its objective criteria.
The Company's standard restaurant prototype is an approximately 1,800 square
foot space located in, or in close proximity to, a community shopping or other
high traffic area. A typical restaurant has a minimum of 60 seats, with a
distinctive design, or an alternative design if local ordinances prohibit the
original design. The layout includes areas for ordering, food pick-up,
self-service drinks and utensils, salsa bar and dining. Each restaurant features
a custom designed cooking area that supports efficient food preparation and
3
<PAGE>
delivery and allows customers to view the preparation of their meals. The
prototype for alternative distribution outlets, such as mall food courts,
airports, stadiums and other outlets is 500 to 800 square feet. The Company
believes that alternative distribution outlets could become an integral part of
its future growth. The prototypes represent the Company's current standard
restaurant formats; however, different restaurant formats for different
circumstances could be employed in the future.
MENU
The Company's menu is designed to offer a wide variety of authentic
Mexican-style dishes to appeal to a broad customer base. Most ingredients are
prepared fresh daily at each location by baking and steaming. No animal fats or
tropical oils are added. Because consumers increasingly are looking for
healthier dining opportunities, the Company places great importance on fresh
taste. Items are prepared to retain natural flavors and nutritional values, and
recipes rely on herbs and spices to attain great taste. Menu items are offered
that are intended to meet or exceed the guidelines of the American Heart
Association for fat, cholesterol and sodium content. The menu includes burritos,
enchiladas, "Baja Bowls," salads, tacos, grilled chicken, steak and pork,
appetizers, and a variety of items designed especially for children. New product
development is emphasized through the use of "specials." The Company's
restaurants generally are open from lunch through dinner and customers can
either dine-in or take-out. Most menu items are priced at $4.25 or less.
RESTAURANTS IN OPERATION
The Company operated thirteen restaurants in Oregon and two in Washington as of
July 1, 1997. The following tables provide certain information about those
restaurants. The Company closed four restaurants in the state of Washington
during fiscal 1997. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 1997, the Company closed its
Overlake restaurant, located in Redmond, Washington.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS
The Company strives to maintain high quality and consistency in its restaurants
through the careful training and supervision of personnel and the establishment
of rigorous standards for food purchasing and preparation. The Director of
Operations oversees the Regional Operations Directors, who in turn oversee
staffing and restaurant operations and, with a Director of Human Resources,
oversee employee development
4
<PAGE>
and training. The management of a typical restaurant consists of a general
manager and a first assistant manager. The general managers are responsible for
day-to-day operations of the restaurants and for the maintenance of operating
standards established by the Company. Both the general and first assistant
manager receive incentive compensation based on customer service, personnel
development and profitability. In addition, each restaurant typically has one
assistant manager, two hourly supervisors and six to eight hourly employees.
The Company uses an in-store computerized point-of-sale system to control cash,
record sales and collect other restaurant sales data that are compiled into a
daily report. Financial controls are maintained through a centralized,
computerized accounting system. Period profit and loss statements are prepared
every four weeks and provided to regional and general managers for review.
The Company is committed to training and motivating its employees to provide
excellent customer service and prepare high quality food. New employees
participate in training courses that emphasize customer service, technical
skills, company culture and policies and career development. Managers also
participate in additional training programs that include courses on leadership,
time management and motivating skills. The Company generally promotes from
within whenever possible.
The Company's restaurants are generally open seven days a week, from 11:00 a.m.
to 10:00 p.m. The hours of food court restaurants are limited by the hours of
operation of the facilities in which the restaurants are located.
The Company limits waste and emphasizes recycling whenever practicable.
Customers dine using stainless steel flatware and paper plates, which are
unbleached, uncoated and made from post-consumer recycled products. Restaurants
separate cans, bottles and cardboard for recycling according to local
regulations and capabilities. In addition, menus, brochures and other printed
materials are printed on unbleached or recycled paper whenever possible.
MARKETING
The Company's marketing programs seek to increase awareness of the Company's
concept and to encourage first time customers to return to the Company's
restaurants. The Company has redirected its marketing efforts, creating more
strategic and disciplined marketing campaigns emphasizing increased choice in
menu items and a much expanded flavor profile.
THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION
The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The Company competes on the basis
of taste, quality, convenience, healthfulness, value and price of food offered,
customer service, ambiance and overall dining experience. The Company's
competitors include a large and diverse group of restaurant chains and
individual restaurants. The number of restaurants with operations generally
similar to the Company's has grown considerably in the last several years, and
the Company believes that competition from these restaurants is increasing. The
Company currently faces direct competition in its markets and may face increased
direct competition from other restaurants in the future. Competition could
increase the Company's operating costs or adversely affect its revenues. A
number of competitors have been in existence longer than the Company and have
substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources and wider
geographical diversity than does the Company. In addition, the restaurant
industry has few non-economic barriers to entry and is affected by changes in
consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions and market
trends. The performance of individual restaurants may be affected by factors
such as traffic patterns, demographic changes and the type, number and location
of competing restaurants.

<PAGE>
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company's business is subject to and affected by federal, state and local
laws. Each restaurant must comply with state, county and municipal licensing and
regulation requirements relating to health, safety, sanitation, building
construction, the sale of alcoholic beverages and fire prevention. Difficulties
in obtaining or the failure to obtain required licenses or approvals could delay
or prevent the development of additional restaurants. The Company has not
experienced significant difficulties in obtaining licenses and approvals to
date.
The Company may be subject in certain states to "dram shop" statutes, which
generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover
damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the
intoxicated person. The Company carries liquor liability coverage as part of its
existing comprehensive general liability insurance and has never been named as a
defendant in a lawsuit involving "dram shop" statutes.
The Company's restaurants are subject to federal and state laws governing wages,
working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime. Several legislative
proposals are under consideration by governmental authorities that could, if
enacted, have a material effect on the Company's business. During 1997, the
minimum wage was increased. Although all of the Company's employees are paid at
or above federal and state established minimum wage levels, increases in minimum
wage levels have and may continue to increase the Company's labor costs. There
is no assurance that the Company would be able to pass such increased costs on
to its customers or that, if it were able to do so, it could do so in a short
period of time.
TRADEMARKS
The Company believes its rights in its trademarks and service marks are
important to its marketing efforts and a valuable part of its business. The
Company has registered the "MACHEEZMO MOUSE", "MOUSE" and "FRESH FIT FAST" marks
for restaurant services and its logo on the Principal Register of the United
States Patent and Trademark Office. The registrations of each mark and the logo
will be renewed prior to their respective expiration dates and may continue to
be renewed in perpetuity. The Company may seek registration of certain other
marks for various food items and restaurant services.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 1, 1997, the Company employed approximately 175 persons, of whom 110
were restaurant employees, 55 were restaurant management and supervisory
personnel and 10 were corporate personnel. Restaurant employees include both
full-time and part-time workers, and all are paid on an hourly basis. Of the 110
total restaurant employees, 30 were full-time employees. None of the Company's
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes
its relations with its employees are generally good.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
All of the Company's restaurants are located in leased space. The initial term
of most of the Company's leases is five years, with options to renew for at
least one five-year period. The majority of the leases have a minimum monthly
lease payment and require an additional yearly payment based on a percentage of
restaurant revenues over a certain level. Generally the leases are net leases
that require the Company to pay its pro rata share of all taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs. A number of the leases provide the Company with early
termination options, wherein if a restaurant does not meet certain sales
requirements, the Company may elect to terminate its lease pursuant to such
options.
The Company's corporate offices are located in an approximately 4,700 square
foot leased facility in Portland, Oregon. The lease expires in September 2000.
In June 1997 the Company sublet approximately 1,000 square feet of this space
through September 2000.

The Company's common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market System under
the symbol "MMRI." The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices
as reported on the Nasdaq National Market System for the periods indicated in
the last two fiscal years.

There were 316 shareholders of record and approximately 3,300 beneficial
shareholders at September 19, 1997. The Company has not paid cash dividends on
its common stock and presently intends to continue this policy in order to
retain its earnings for the development of the Company's business.
7
<PAGE>
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. On September 11, 1997, Nasdaq held an oral hearing on the matter.
The Company has been informed that Nasdaq's determination whether the Company's
Common Stock may continue its listing on the Nasdaq NMS, be listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market or completely delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market will be
announced by the end of September 1997.
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.
ITEM 6. 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 July 1, 1997 the Company owned and
operated 15 restaurants. There were four restaurants closed in fiscal 1997 and
four restaurants closed in fiscal 1996. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 1997,
the Company closed one additional restaurant in Washington. The opening and
closing of restaurants affect 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). 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.
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.

FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996
SALES, NET. Net sales decreased 24% to $7.6 million in fiscal 1997 from $10.0
million in fiscal 1996. Net sales were based on 15 and 19 operating restaurants
at the end of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. Same restaurant sales
decreased 15% in fiscal 1997, compared to fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1997 the
Company closed four restaurants in the state of Washington due to slowing sales;
one in the third quarter and three in the fourth quarter. Additionally, fiscal
1997 was a 52-week year, compared to fiscal 1996 which was a 53-week year, and
the Company lost approximately 40 restaurant operating days company-wide due to
inclement weather during fiscal 1997.

<PAGE>
COSTS AND EXPENSES.
Food, beverage and packaging costs decreased 16% to $2.3 million in fiscal 1997
from $2.8 million in fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to
30.8% in fiscal 1997 from 27.9% in fiscal 1996. These costs decreased as a
result of decreased net sales, but increased as a percentage of net sales as a
result of the higher food cost for new items added to the Company's menu in
fiscal 1997.
Restaurant labor expense consists primarily of restaurant management and hourly
employee wages, payroll taxes, worker's compensation and group insurance.
Restaurant labor expenses decreased 19% to $2.7 million in fiscal 1997 from $3.3
million in fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 35.3% in
fiscal 1997 from 33.2% in fiscal 1996. These costs decreased as a result of
decreased net sales, but increased as a percentage of net sales as a result of
increases in wages and employee benefits paid to comply with the increase in the
minimum wage in 1997 and in order to remain competitive in the Company's labor
markets.
Other restaurant operating expenses decreased 18% to $1.8 million in fiscal 1997
from $2.2 million in fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to
24.3% in fiscal 1997 from 22.5% in fiscal 1996. These costs decreased as a
result of decreased net sales. As restaurant sales decrease, these expenses
increase as a percentage of net sales, as most of these expenses, such as rent,
utilities and miscellaneous supplies and services, are substantially fixed in
nature.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 47% to $374,000 in fiscal 1997
from $700,000 in fiscal 1996, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 4.9%
in fiscal 1997 from 7.0% in fiscal 1996, due primarily to the write downs in the
both fiscal 1997 and 1996 of closed and existing restaurant assets to their
estimated fair market values in accordance with 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). SEE NOTE 7 OF NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
General and administrative expenses increased 10% to $2.3 million in fiscal 1997
from $2.1 million in fiscal 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales to
30.6% in fiscal 1997 from 21.2% in fiscal 1996. The increases were primarily
attributable to increased advertising spending and expenses related to menu
development, the roll out of new menu items and the decrease in net sales. In
1997, the Company initiated a new radio, newspaper and transit advertising
campaign, at a cost of approximately $500,000. 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.
Restructuring expenses of $593,000 and $2.9 million were incurred in fiscal 1997
and 1996, respectively, as a result of declining profitability and operating
losses and the decision by the Company to develop restructuring plans designed
to restore profitability. The restructurings included the closing of four
restaurants in fiscal 1997 and three restaurants in fiscal 1996, and the partial
write-down of fixed assets at existing restaurants to their estimated fair
market value. The Company based its analysis on SFAS No. 121 which establishes
standards to identify and measure impairment of long-lived assets.
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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has primarily financed its capital requirements through cash flow
from operations and the proceeds from its initial public offering in September
1994.
Working capital at July 1, 1997 was $1.2 million, including $1.3 million of cash
and cash equivalents and $498,000 of short-term investments in marketable
securities.
Cash used in operating activities in fiscal 1997 was $1.4 million, primarily
resulting from a net loss for the fiscal year of $2.5 million, restructuring
expense of $614,000 and adjustments for depreciation and amortization of
$374,000.
Cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 1997 was $1.2 million, primarily
resulting from purchases of short-term investments in marketable securities of
$2.0 million, offset by proceeds from maturity of short term investments in
marketable securities of $3.5 million, and the purchase of property and
equipment of $291,000, primarily consisting of new lighted menu boards and
replacement equipment. Cash balances in excess of operating requirements
remained invested in readily marketable commercial paper and U.S. government
securities.
Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 1997 was $33,000, consisting of
proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
The balance in the restructuring reserve of $261,000 at July 1, 1997 represents
the estimated costs associated with restaurant closures and the settlement of
lease obligations for restaurants closed as part of the Company's restructuring
plans in fiscal 1997 and 1996. The Company's restructuring charge in fiscal 1997
consisted of $189,000 and $425,000 of non-cash charges for the write-down of
closed and operating restaurant assets, respectively, to their estimated fair
market values, and a $21,000 net decrease to the restructuring reserve
consisting of estimated costs associated with restaurant closures net of the
settlement of lease obligations for restaurants closed in fiscal 1996 and 1997.
SEE NOTE 7 OF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
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 July
1, 1997), which expires on October 31, 1997. No borrowings were outstanding
under the line of credit at July 1, 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 July 1, 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 July 1, 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.

MACHEEZMO MOUSE RESTAURANTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Macheezmo Mouse Restaurants, Inc. (the Company) operates a quick service
restaurant chain with operations in Oregon and Washington. The Company's fiscal
year ends on the Tuesday nearest June 30th and is comprised of fifty-two or
fifty-three week periods. The fiscal years ended July 1, 1997 and July 2, 1996
were fifty-two week and fifty-three week periods, respectively.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: FAIR VALUES
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for investments in marketable
securities, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of
the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and on deposit and highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
Marketable securities consist primarily of government and corporate securities.
The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company's marketable securities
are classified as "held to maturity" and are therefore recorded at amortized
cost.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of food, beverages and paper supplies and are stated at the
lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is
provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, generally five to seven years. The cost of leasehold improvements is
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the length of the
lease terms, including option periods, or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements.
DEFERRED RENT
Rent expense on operating leases with scheduled rent increases is expensed on
the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Deferred rent represents the
difference between rent charged to expense and the rent payable under the lease
agreements.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, the
Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future
tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities. Under SFAS 109, valuation allowances are
recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a
tax benefit will not be realized.
F-6
<PAGE>
PRE-OPENING EXPENSES
Costs incurred in connection with the opening of new restaurants are expensed as
incurred.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of
outstanding shares of common stock. Common equivalent shares from stock options
are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.
ADVERTISING EXPENSE
Advertising costs are deferred and expensed the first time the advertisement
takes place.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS
128). SFAS 128 changes the standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share (EPS) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
per Share." SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. SFAS 128 is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement
requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), which establishes requirements
for disclosure of comprehensive income and is effective for the Company's fiscal
year ending May 1999. Reclassification of earlier financial statements for
comparative purposes is required.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Reclassifications of certain prior period balances have been made to conform
with the current method of presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on
previously reported results of operations or shareholders' equity.

4. LINE OF CREDIT
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 July
1, 1997), which expires on October 31, 1997. No borrowings were outstanding
under the line of credit at July 1, 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 July 1, 1997.
5. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases restaurant and office facilities under several operating
leases expiring through 2006. Most leases contain renewal options of five
years. As of July 1, 1997, future minimum payments under non-cancelable
operating leases with terms in excess of one year are as follows (in thousands):
FISCAL YEAR

-------
$ 2,661

-------
Minimum rent expense under operating leases aggregated $724,000 and $848,000 in
fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. Total minimum rentals do not include
contingent rentals determined as a percentage of food and beverage sales
approximating $155,000 and $127,000 for fiscal years 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Total rent expense is included in other restaurant operating
expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
The Company also has $40,000 outstanding under a letter of credit, as discussed
in Note 4.

Due to the uncertainty of future income, the Company has provided a valuation
allowance for the entire amount of its net deferred tax asset. The Company will
continue to provide a valuation allowance for its deferred assets until it
becomes more likely than not, in management's assessment, that the Company's
deferred tax assets will be realized.
At July 1, 1997, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,566,000, which will expire in the years through 2012.
Additionally, the Company has available an alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward of approximately $71,000 which is available to reduce future
federal income taxes.

7. RESTRUCTURING PLANS
The Company's profitability remained unfavorable in fiscal 1997, and the Company
reported operating losses for each quarter of fiscal 1997. After an analysis of
the sales potential and operating economics of each of its restaurants, the
Company developed a restructuring plan to help restore profitability. Under the
plan, the Company closed four of its restaurants and recorded a partial
write-down of operating restaurant assets to their estimated fair market value.
The Company based its analysis on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, (SFAS 121) "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" which establishes standards to identify and
measure impairment of long-lived assets. Total costs expected to be expended in
connection with the restructuring included approximately $114,000 associated
with restaurant closures and settlement of lease obligations.
In fiscal 1997 the Company recorded a $614,000 non-cash charge for the
write-down of restaurant assets to fair market value. Fair market value for the
write-down of assets was estimated based on the appraised value of impaired
long-lived assets and the present value of expected future cash flows.
The following sets forth the components of the Company's restructuring expenses
(in thousands):

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
On June 30, 1996 the Company's Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Incentive Plan
expired. In September 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1996
Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan) which provides for the award of incentive
stock options to key employees and the award of non-qualified stock options,
stock appreciation rights (SAR's), cash bonus rights, performance units and
other incentive grants to employees, independent contractors and consultants. A
total of 250,000 shares has been reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan. The
exercise price and term for non-statutory stock options may be established by
the Board of Directors at the date of grant but in no case will the exercise
price be less than 85% of the fair market value. To date, all options have been
granted at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
Options generally vest over a five year period. The 1996 Plan provides for
automatic option grants to non-employee directors of the Company of 25,000
shares of the Company's common stock at the time first elected to the board.
The 1996 Plan will continue in effect until all shares available for issuance

Plan at any time except with respect to options, stock appreciation rights,
performance units and shares subject to restrictions then outstanding under the
1996 Plan. As of July 1, 1997, no SAR's, stock bonus awards, cash bonus rights,
performance units or restricted stock awards had been granted by the Company

During 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) which defines a fair
value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar equity
instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for
all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an
entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the method
of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25).
Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB 25 must make pro forma
disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if the fair
value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been adopted.
The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plan under
APB 25; however, the Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes,
the value of all stock options granted during fiscal years 1997 and 1996 using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS 123 using the
following weighted average assumptions:
YEAR ENDED
----------------------------
JULY 1, JULY 2,
1997 1996
--------- --------
Risk-free interest rate 5.9 - 6.7% 5.9 - 6.4%
Expected dividend yield 0% 0%
Expected lives 3 years 3 years
Expected volatility 71.0 - 79.6% 52.6 - 64.8%
Using the Black-Scholes methodology, the total value of stock options granted
during fiscal years 1997 and 1996 were determined to have an immaterial effect
on the results of operations for fiscal 1997 and 1996.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at

EXHIBIT A TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
1. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE.
1.1 Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
if the Optionee's employment by or service with the Company terminates for any
reason other than because of physical disability or death, the Option may be
exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date or the expiration of 30 days
after the date of the termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if
and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date
of termination.
1.2 If the Optionee's employment by or service with the Company terminates
because of death or physical disability (as defined in Section 6(a)(iv)(B) of
the Plan), the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date,
but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option
at the date of termination. If the Optionee's employment or service is
terminated by death, the Option shall be exercisable only by the person or
persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option pass by the Optionee's
will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the
Optionee's domicile at the time of death.
2. METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.
2.1 Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, to exercise the
Option, the Optionee must give written notice to the Company stating the
Optionee's intention to exercise, specifying the number of shares as to which
the Optionee desires to exercise the Option and the date on which the Optionee
desires to complete the transaction. On or before the date specified for
completion of the purchase of shares pursuant to the Option, the Optionee must
pay the Company the full purchase price of such shares in cash. No shares shall
be issued until full payment for the shares has been made.
2.2 After exercise of all or a part of the Option, the Optionee shall
immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the Company in
cash the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax
withholding requirements. If additional withholding is or becomes required
beyond any amount deposited before delivery of the certificates for the Option
shares, the Optionee shall pay such amount to the Company on demand. If the
Optionee fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company may withhold that amount
from other amounts payable by the Company to the Optionee, including salary or
compensation, subject to applicable law.
3. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. The Option may not be assigned or
transferred by the Optionee, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of
the Optionee's domicile at the time of death.
4. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
4.1 STOCK SPLITS; STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company is hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason
of any stock split, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares,
recapitalization or reclassification appropriate adjustment shall be made by the
Board of Directors in the number and kind of shares as to which the Option, or
portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable. Adjustments shall be
made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of
the Option and with a corresponding adjustment in the Option price per share and
shall neither (i) make the ratio, immediately after the event, of the Option
price per share to the fair market value per share more favorable to the
Optionee than that ratio immediately before the event nor (ii) make the
aggregate spread, immediately after the event, between the fair market value of
shares as to which the Option is exercisable and the Option price of such shares
more favorable to the Optionee than that aggregate spread immediately before the
event. The Board of Directors shall have no obligation to effect any adjustment
that would or might result in the issuance of fractional shares, and any
fractional shares resulting from any adjustment may be disregarded or provided
for in any manner determined by the Board of Directors. Any such adjustments
made by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive.
4.2 MERGERS, REORGANIZATIONS, ETC. In the event of a merger,
consolidation or plan of exchange to which the Company is a party or a sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets (each, a
2
<PAGE>
"Transaction"), the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion and to the
extent possible under the structure of the Transaction, select one of the
following alternatives for treating the Option:
4.2-1 The Option shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.
4.2-2 The Option shall be converted into an option to purchase stock
in the corporation that is the surviving or acquiring corporation in the
Transaction. The amount, type of securities subject thereto and exercise
price of the converted option shall be determined by the Board of Directors
of the Company, taking into account the relative values of the companies
involved in the Transaction and the exchange rate, if any, used in
determining shares of the surviving corporation to be issued to holders of
shares of the Company. Conversions shall be made without change in the
total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option and with a
corresponding adjustment in the Option price per share and shall neither
(i) make the ratio, immediately after the event, of the Option price per
share to the fair market value per share more favorable to the Optionee
than that ratio immediately before the event nor (ii) make the aggregate
spread, immediately after the event, between the fair market value of
shares as to which the Option is exercisable and the Option price of such
shares more favorable to the Optionee than that aggregate spread
immediately before the event. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors, the converted option shall be exercisable only to the extent
that the exercisability requirements relating to the Option have been
satisfied.
4.2-3 The Board of Directors shall provide a 30-day period prior to
the consummation of the Transaction during which the Option may be
exercised to the extent then exercisable, and, upon the expiration of such
30-day period, the Option shall immediately terminate to the extent not
exercised. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, accelerate
the exercisability of the Option so that it is exercisable in full during
such 30-day period.
4.3 DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY. In the event of the dissolution of the
Company, options shall be treated in accordance with paragraph 4.2-3.
5. CONDITIONS ON OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not be obligated to issue
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option if the Company is advised by
its legal counsel that such issuance would violate applicable state or federal
laws, including securities laws. The Company will use its best efforts to take
steps required by state or federal law or applicable regulations in connection
with issuance of shares upon exercise of the Option.
6. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement
shall (i) confer upon the Optionee any right to be employed or to continue in
the employment of or service to the Company; (ii) interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment or service with the
Company at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease the
Optionee's compensation or benefits, or (iii) confer upon the Optionee any right
to continuation, extension, renewal, or modification of any compensation,
contract or arrangement with or by the Company.
7. WITHHOLDING. Upon notification of the amount due, if any, and prior to or
concurrently with delivery of the certificates representing the shares for which
the Option was exercised, Optionee shall pay to the Company amounts necessary to
satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.
If additional withholding becomes required beyond any amount deposited before
delivery of the certificates, Optionee shall pay such amount to the Company on
demand. If Optionee fails to pay any amount demanded, the Company shall have
the right to withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company to
Optionee, including salary, subject to applicable law.

inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company but, except as provided
herein, the Option may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Optionee.
9. NOTICES. Any notices under this Agreement must be in writing and will be
effective when actually delivered or, if mailed, three days after deposit into
the United States mails by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Mail
