    statements to conform to classification.

[C] Due To Related Parties

    Woodland  Limited  Partnership  ["Woodland"] is a partnership  controlled by
    members of Mr. Colin  Halpern's  family.  Mr.  Halpern is the  President and
    Chairman of the Board of the Company.  As of September 27, 1998, the balance
    due to Woodland  for funds  advanced to the  Company  was  $1,519,912  which
    includes accrued  interest payable of $293,787.  This note has been extended
    to December 1998.  During 1997, funds were advanced and repayments were made
    to Woodland of approximately $300,000.

    In June 1996,  as partial  consideration  for the  conversion  of short-term
    advances to a note payable loan,  the Company issued a common stock purchase
    warrant  entitling  Woodland to  purchase  166,667  shares of the  Company's
    common stock at $7.50 per share for a period of 24 months  commencing on the
    date of the loan.  The warrants  will be redeemable at $.01 per share if the
    closing  bid  price  of  the  Company's  common  stock  exceeds  $30  for 10
    consecutive   trading  days  ending  within  five  days  of  the  notice  of
    redemption.  In December 1996,  Woodland agreed to extend the note due until
    June 1998 and the shares of the  Company's  common  stock at $5.25 per share
    for a term expiring  December 31, 1999.  Woodland  agreed to extend the note
    due until September 1998. As of December 29, 1996, the note was recorded net
    of the fair value of these stock  warrants  at  $694,556.  Interest  expense
    amortized on purchase  warrants  for the 52 week period  ended  December 28,
    1997 is $130,000.  The warrants were cancelled with  conversion of the notes
    to equity.

    In March 1997,  the Company  agreed with  Woodland  Limited  Partnership  to
    convert  $750,000  of  long-term  debt to 750,000  shares of $1.00 par value
    Series A  convertible  preferred  shares.  On September  25, 1997,  Woodland
    agreed to exchange its $1.00 par value Series A convertible preferred shares
    to 375,000 $2.00 par value Series B non-convertible preferred shares.

    On September 25, 1997,  Woodland agreed to convert an additional $700,000 of
    notes  payable  into  350,000  $2.00  par  value  Series  B  non-convertible
    preferred shares. The agreed dividend is 8% and is cumulative. The preferred
    shares hold the sale voting rights as the common shares. The warrants issued
    in  connection  with notes payable were valued at $145,522 and was accounted
    for as a discount to the notes  payable to  Woodland.  At December 28, 1997,
    the Company amortized $116,000 as interest expense.

    At December 28,  1997,  Woodland  owns  approximately  36% of the  Company's
    outstanding common stock.

                                       8

    Mr.  Halpern  also is the Chairman of the Board of  International  Franchise
    Systems,  Inc. ["IFS"].  At December 31, 1995, IFS had advanced funds to the
    Company in the  amount of  $183,635.  During  1996,  the  entire  amount was
    repaid.  IFS charges a  management  fee to the  Company  for  administration
    services.  For the years ended December 28, 1997 and December 29,1996,  this
    management fee was $45,000 and $25,000, respectively, and those amounts were
    charged to operations. IFS and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sublease
    a facility to the Company in the United Kingdom. For the year ended December
    28, 1997, the Company paid $133,449 for this facility.  During the fifty-two
    week period ended  December 31, 1995, IFS  transferred  motor vehicles under
    capital lease at the  remaining net lease value to the Company.  These motor
    vehicles were returned to the leasing company upon cancellation of the lease
    and the related asset and liability were written off during 1996.

    The Company has advanced funds to and paid various expenses on behalf of Mr.
    Halpern.  During 1996, the total amount  advanced to Mr. Halpern was $15,148
    with  repayments of $35,000.  At December 28, 1997,  the total amount due to
    the Company is $31,149.  This amount is being offset through  reimbursements
    due to Mr. Halpern.

    Mr.  Halpern's  son is an  attorney  with a law  firm  that  provides  legal
    services  to the  Company.  Legal  expense  incurred  with this firm for the
    fifty-two  weeks ended  December 28, 1997 was $70,000.  At December 28, 1997
    there was no balance due and owing by the Company to this firm.

    The Chief  Financial  Officer  of the  Company  is also the Chief  Financial
    Officer of IFS.  The charge for his  services  was $140,000 and is allocated
    between the two companies.

[D] Divestitures

    On December 19, 1997, the Company sold its rights to Chili's  Restaurants in
    Australia and New Zealand to Brinker  International,  Inc. ("Brinker").  The
    $2.68 million  purchase  price was before the payment of  liabilities of the
    Australian operation which are estimated to be approximately  $700,000.  The
    Company agreed to use the remaining proceeds to repay the Brinker short term
    loan.

    On December 16, 1997, the Company merged its UK subsidiary, Restaurant House
    Ltd. with the Celebrated Group Plc.


[E] Stock Transactions

    On January 23, 1997, the Company issued  1,000,000 shares of the 1.6 million
    unissued shares of stock sold under a Reg S share offering.  As of March 29,
    1998, the Company had not issued the remaining  600,000 shares of stock. The
    Company is in dispute with the stock  subscriber  regarding  the price to be
    paid.  For financial  reporting  purposes,  the Company has  calculated  the
    earnings per share with the assumption that the shares had been issued.

    In March 1997,  the Company  agreed with  Woodland  Limited  Partnership  to
    convert  $750,000  of  long-term  debt to 750,000  shares of $1.00 par value
    Series A convertible preferred shares.

    On  September  25,  1997,  Woodland  agreed to exchange  its $1.00 par value
    Series A  convertible  preferred  shares to 375,000 $2.00 par value Series B
    non-convertible  preferred shares. On September 25, 1997, Woodland agreed to
    convert an additional $700,000 of notes payable into 350,000 $2.00 par value
    Series B non-convertible  preferred shares. The agreed dividend is 8% and is
    cumulative.  The preferred  shares hold the sale voting rights as the common
    shares.  The warrants issued in connection with notes payable were valued at
    $145,522  and was  accounted  for as a  discount  to the  notes  payable  to
    Woodland.  At December 28, 1997, the Company amortized  $116,000 as interest
    expense.

    On November 26, 1997,  the Company  effected a  three-for-one  reverse stock
    split of its common  stock.  As a result of the split,  there are  3,420,780
    shares of common stock outstanding.

    Stock Transactions of Subsidiary

    In  September  1996,  Red Hot  Pacific  issued 53 shares of common  stock to
    Brinker in connection with a guaranty agreement valued at $1.00.

    The above issuance reduced Red Hot ownership of Red Hot Pacific from 100% to
    95%. As a result of this stock  transaction  and related  liability  for the
    guaranty agreement Red Hot reduced its additional  paid-in-capital by $2,497
    in consolidation.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Result
        of Operations

Overview -

Red Hot Concepts was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 14, 1994. Red
Hot Concepts and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are
owned 36% by Woodland  Partnership  Ltd. and the  remaining  shares are publicly
held.  The Company was formed to establish  and develop the Chili's  Grill & Bar
restaurant concept franchised by Brinker  International Inc. ("Brinker") outside
the United States.

At December 31, 1997, the Company no longer had the exclusive  rights to operate
Chili's restaurants in the United Kingdom or Australia. From November 1995 until
December 18, 1997, the Company owned the Chili's concept  development rights for
Australia  and New Zealand.  During 1997,  the Company  operated  three  Chili's
restaurants in Australia (two in suburban Sydney and one in suburban Melbourne).
However,  on December 18, 1997,  the Company sold its Australian and New Zealand
operations back to Chili's franchisor, Brinker International, for $2.68 million.

From July 1994 until  December 15, 1997,  the Company owned the UK rights to the
Chili's concept.  During 1997, the Company  operated two Chili's  restaurants in
the UK (one in Canary Wharf and one in  Cambridge).  On December  15, 1997,  the
Company merged its UK operations into the Celebrated  Group Plc  ("Celebrated").
The Company's  exclusive  development  rights for Chili's  restaurants in the UK
transferred to Celebrated in the merger.

Celebrated  is publicly  traded on the  Alternative  Index  Market  (AIM) of the
London Stock Exchange.  As part of the merger,  Red Hot Concepts acquired 46% of
Celebrated's  outstanding  stock  and  an  option  to  acquire  a 50%  ownership
interest.  In early  1998,  a  principal  officer  and a director of the Company
assumed comparable roles at Celebrated, in addition to retaining their positions
with the Company.

Results of Operations -

The Company  realized a net loss of $1,061,851 for the thirty-nine  weeks ending
September  27,  1998 which  compares  to a net loss of  $1,110,149  for the same
period in 1997.  The  results  for  operations  in 1997 have  been  adjusted  to
eliminate the trading results of the UK and Australia. The net loss from 1997 to
1998 was  reduced  significantly  reflecting  the  Company's  effort to minimize
expenses.  The Company included the net loss of $674,480,  its share of the loss
experienced  by Celebrated  Group for the thirty nine weeks ended  September 27,
1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's   negative   working   capital  as  of  September  27,  1998  was
approximately  $0.3  million as compared to a negative  working  capital of $0.4
million as of December 28, 1997. Total current assets were at $0.2 million as of
September 27, 1998.  Current  liabilities  reduced to $0.5 million from December
28, 1997.

The following  chart  represents  the net funds raised and/or used in operating,
financing and investment activities for both periods.

</TABLE>


During the thirteen  week period  ended  September  27,  1998,  the Company used
approximately  $547,544 for operating activities.  The Company had a net loss of
approximately   $387,419.   The  Company's   accounts  payable  was  reduced  by
approximately $334,285.

Cash generated by financing activities for the year was approximately  $444,800,
which include the proceeds from a loan from related parties of $444,800.

The Company has  improved  short term  liquidity  through a number of  different
steps including the reduction of  administrative  expenses and headcount and the
rescheduling of payment terms on the advances from Woodland Limited Partnership.
The Company  believes that additional  capital or borrowing will be necessary to
finance working capital in the short-term.  The Company does not anticipate that
Celebrated  will pay dividends in 1998.  The Company does not currently have any
commitments to secure  financing and there is no assurance that the Company will
be able to secure  financing  in the future and that even if the Company is able
to obtain financing, such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company. If the Company's plans change, or if the assumptions or estimates prove
to be inaccurate,  of if the Company is unable to raise more funds,  the Company
will reduce its holdings in Celebrated.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation is not expected to have a material effect on the company's operations.
