         equity for the period  December  31,  1995 to March 29,  1998,  and the
         statements of cash flows for the period  December 29, 1997 to March 29,
         1998 and for the period  December  29, 1996 to March 29, 1997 have been
         prepared  by  the  Company  without  audit.  The  accompanying  interim

         generally   accepted   accounting   principles  for  interim  financial
         information and with the instructions of Form 10-QSB and Regulation SB.
         Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information and footnotes

         of the  financial  position of the Company at March 29,  1998,  and the
         results of its operations and cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks then
         ended.  It is suggested that these  unaudited  financial  statements be
         read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes contained

         Certain  reclassifications  may have  been  made to the 1997  financial
         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 December 28, 1997, the
         balance  due  to  Woodland  for  funds  advanced  to  the  Company  was
         $1,011,317 which includes  accrued  interest payable of $230,065.  This
         note  is due in  June  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. As of
         December 29, 1996, the note was recorded net of the fair value of these
         stock warrants at $694,556 [See Note 6]. 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 100,000 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.

<PAGE>
         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,   dividends  in  arrears  on  the  Series  B
         non-convertible preferred stock amounted to $58,000 or $.08 per share.

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

         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 100,000 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,   dividends  in  arrears  on  the  Series  B
         non-convertible preferred stock amounted to $58,000 or $.08 per share.

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

         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.

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 $353,361 for the thirteen weeks ending March
29, 1998 which  compares to a net loss of $327,515  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 its share of the net loss  experienced  by Celebrated  for the thirteen
week period endeed March 29, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's  negative  working capital as of March 29, 1998 was  approximately
$1.3  million as compared to a negative  working  capital of $1.2  million as of
December 28, 1997.  Total current  assets remain at $0.4 million as of March 29,
1998 and December 28, 1997. Current liabilities increased from December 28, 1997
by approximately  $100,000 to $1.7 million.  The primary increase in liabilities
related to funds  advanced  by related  parties  and the  reduction  of accounts
payable was reduced by approximately $94,000.

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

During  the  thirteen  week  period  ended  March 29,  1998,  the  Company  used
approximately  $268,226 for operating activities.  The Company had a net loss of
approximately   $174,000.   The  Company's   accounts  payable  was  reduced  by
approximately $94,000.

Cash generated by financing activities for the year was approximately  $258,100,
which include the proceeds from a loan from related parties of $258,100.

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.
