MACHEEZMO MOUSE RESTAURANTS, INC
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 7, 1998 and April 08, 1997 have been prepared 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial 
information as of July 1. 1997 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 1, 1997 
(fiscal 1997). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included 
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of 
management, the accompanying unaudtied financial statements include all 
adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the 
fair presentations of the results of the interim period presented.  The 
accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal 1997, 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 7, 1998 
and April 08, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1998 (fiscal 1998), or 
any portion thereof.

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

INTRODUCTION

The Company commenced operations in 1981 with the opening of the first 
restaurant in Portland, Oregon.  As of April 07, 1998 the Company owned and 
operated 13 restaurants. Four restaurants were closed in Fiscal 1997 and one 
restaurant was closed in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. In February 1998 
the Company closed one additional restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The closing 
of restaurants affects the comparability of results of operations from period 
to period.

The company prepares statements of operations for 13 periods each year. The 
first fiscal quarter, Generally consisting 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 and the seasonality of its 
business, the Company's sales and operating income are typically highest in 
the first fiscal quarter. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Tuesday 
closet to June 30: June 30, 1998 for fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1997 was a 52-week 
period and fiscal 1998 will also be a 52-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 second and third fiscal quarters. In 
addition, the first quarter includes 16 weeks of operations, compared with 12 
or 13 weeks for each of the remaining three-

                                       5

quarters. Consequently, consecutive quarter-to-quarter comparisons of the 
company's results of operations may not be meaningful and results of any 
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the actual results for a full 
fiscal year.

FORWARD - LOOKING INFORMATION.  

The statements concerning expected future financing requirements, cost 
reduction and retail activities and the Year 2000 issue constitutes forward 
- -looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that 
could materially affect future financing in the event of lower than expected 
retail and restaurant sales, increased competitive factors ( including 
increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and price 
pressures), in sales volume, changes in menu offerings, a longer than 
expected period to achieve market acceptance of any new menu or retail 
offerings, a longer than expected period to achieve market acceptance of any 
new menu or retail offerings and difficulties implementing new menu and 
retail offerings, as well as unfavorable business conditions and disruptions 
in the restaurant industry and general economy. Factors that could adversely 
affect cost reduction and retail activities include, but are not limited to, 
the industry factors and general business conditions noted above. Factors 
that could materially impact the Year 2000 issue include, but are not limited 
to, unanticipated cost associated with any required modification to the 
Company's computer systems and associated software.

TWELVE WEEKS (THIRD QUARTER) AND FORTY WEEKS (THREE QUARTERS) ENDED APRIL 07,
1998 COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS (THIRD QUARTER) AND FORTY WEEKS (THREE QUARTERS)
ENDED APRIL 08, 1997.


SALES, NET.  Restaurant sales decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 
and three quarters ending in fiscal 1998 in comparison to third quarter of 
fiscal 1997 and three quarters ending in fiscal 1997. There were 13 
Restaurants operating at the end of the three-quarters ending in fiscal year 
of 1998 compared to 19 restaurants operating in the same fiscal period of 
1997. Same store sales comparisons of the Company's restaurants are more 
favorable in third quarter fiscal 1998 than same period in fiscal 1997. The 
Company managed to halt the precipitous same store sales decline that they 
had experienced in previous quarters.

COSTS AND EXPENSES.

Food, beverage and packaging costs decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 
1998 in comparison to same quarter in fiscal 1997.  These costs were also 
decreased for three-quarters ending in fiscal 1998 compared to three quarters 
ending in fiscal  1997. The Company is aggressively managing its cost of 
sales and purchasing relationships with our vendors. This aggressive 
management has resulted in greatly improved COS numbers. In the fourth 
quarter of 1997 the company introduced new menu items, including grilled 
steaks, chicken and pork, which have higher food costs than items previously 
on the menu.

Restaurant labor expenses consist primarily of restaurant management and 
hourly employee wages, payroll taxes, worker's compensation and group 
insurance. Labor expenses decreased in both third and three quarters ending 
in fiscal 1998. The decreases were due to efficiencies in operations and 
salary and hourly management. As reflected in the management of COS, the 
Company is aggressively managing store level labor costs while at the same 
time improving the level of customer service for our patrons. The Company's 
current stores are located in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area where 
unemployment is low, which has the effect of increasing wage levels required 
to attract and retain qualified employees.

Other restaurant operating expenses consist primarily of rent, utilities and 
miscellaneous supplies and services. Other restaurant operating expenses have 
decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to third quarter of 
fiscal 1997. These expenses also decreased for three-quarters ending in 
fiscal 1998 compared to same period in fiscal 1997.  The decrease is 
primarily due to efficiencies in operating systems and management.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased in the third quarter and 
three quarters ending in fiscal 1998 compared to third quarter and three 
quarters ending in fiscal 1997. In the fourth quarter of both fiscal 1997 and 
1996 the company wrote down closed and existing restaurant assets to their 
estimated fair market values in accordance with the adoption of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF 
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" (SFAS No. 121), thereby decreasing the 
amount of related Depreciation expenses.

The Company incurred expenses of approximately $25,000 in the second quarter 
of fiscal 1998 related to the start-up of retail operations, which primarily 
consisted of recipe development and sales related activities.  The Company, 
as originally planned, launched its first retail contract in third quarter of 
fiscal 1998. The Company initially supplied local Costco's with the Company's 
branded retail products in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Additionally the 
Company began to supply burritos to Oregon school lunch programs; it began 
with the Beaverton, Oregon school district. The Company plans to expand its 
retail operation in fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. There is no assurance that 
the Company will be successful in attaining or sustaining a level of retail 
sales sufficient to cover the expenses related to such sales.

General and administrative expenses decreased in the third and three quarters 
ending in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997. The decreases were primarily 
attributable to the reduction in the number of general and administrative 
employees, reduction in corporate spending and increased corporate operating 
efficiencies.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is in a net deferred tax position and has generated 100% net 
operating losses in fiscal 1998.  Accordingly, no provision for benefit from 
income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying statements of operations. 
The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance for it's deferred 
tax assets until it becomes more likely than not, in management's assessment, 
that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized.

NASDAQ MATTERS

On October 1,  1997 the Company's Common Stock was deleted from listing on 
the Nasdaq National Market System ("Nasdaq NMS") for failure to maintain the 
minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of $1.00 per share.

Since October 1, 1997 trading in the Company's Common Stock has been 
conducted in the over the counter market on an electronic bulletin board 
established for securities that do not meet Nasdaq requirements, or in what 
are commonly referred to as "Pink Sheets".  As a result, an investor may 
likely find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations 
as to the price of the Company's Common Stock than was the case when the 
Company's Common Stock was listed on the Nasdaq NMS.  In addition, after 
October 1, 1997, the Company's Common Stock is subject to "Penny Stock" rules 
that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell 
such securities.  The delisting of the Company's Common Stock from Nasdaq NMS 
could adversely 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.

Company's outstanding common stock took the action described below.  At the 
Company's annual meeting, 3,985,630 shares of common stock were eligible to
