Foreign Currency Translation:
Prior to December 28, 1997, the functional currency for the Company's United
Kingdom subsidiary and Australian subsidiary was the British pound sterling and
Australian dollar, respectively. The translation from British pound sterling and
Australian dollars into U.S. dollars was performed for balance sheet accounts
using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue
and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period.
The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in
stockholders' equity. For the period December 27, 1998 the translation from
British pound sterling into U.S. dollars for the investment in the Celebrated
group was done using current exchange rates in effect at year end.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  [UNAUDITED]

[A]      Significant Accounting Policies

         Significant accounting policies of RED HOT CONCEPTS, INC. and
         subsidiary (the "Company") are set forth in the Company's Form 10-KSB
         for the year ended December 27, 1998, as filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission.

         The balance sheet as of June 27, 1999, the statements of operations for
         the period December 28, 1998 to June 27, 1999, and for the period
         December 29, 1997 to June 28, 1998, the statement of stockholders'
         equity for the period December 28, 1998 to June 27, 1999, and the
         statements of cash flows for the period December 28, 1998 to June 27,
         1999 and for the period December 27, 1997 to June 28, 1998 have been
         prepared by the Company without audit. The accompanying interim

         generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial

         Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
         required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
         financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company,
         such statements include all adjustments [consisting only of normal
         recurring items] which are considered necessary for a fair presentation
         of the financial position of the Company at June 27, 1999, and the
         results of its operations and cash flows for the twenty-six weeks then
         ended. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be
         read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained
         in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 27, 1998.

[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 27, 1998,
         there is no balance due to Woodland. 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
         obligation was originally due in May 1998 and was extended by Woodland
         to January 1999. This loan was exchanged for convertible preferred
         stock discussed below on December 27, 1998.

         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 Company issued a common stock
         purchase warrant entitling Woodland to purchase an additional 166,667
         shares of the Company's 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. The warrants
         were cancelled upon 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.

         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 same voting rights as the
         common shares. 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 27, 1998, no additional
         amortization was charged to operations, as the warrants were cancelled
         upon conversion to preferred shares.

         On December 27, 1998 Woodland agreed to convert $1,500,000 of loans and
         accrued interest into 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible 8%
         Preferred Stock. The Company's Board of Directors approved this
         agreement.

         At December 27, 1998 dividends in arrears on the Series B
         non-convertible preferred stock amounted to $174,000 or $.24 per share.

         At December 27, 1998, Woodland owns approximately 36% of the Company's
         outstanding common stock. Woodland also owns 100 % of the Class A
         Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as, 100% of Class B
         Non-Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon amendment and restatement of the
         Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and exchange of the Class B
         Preferred Stock into Class A Preferred Stock Woodland would own
         1,475,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon
         Conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares Woodland would
         own approximately 57% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

         Mr. Halpern also is the Chairman of the Board of International
         Franchise Systems, Inc. ["IFS"]. IFS charged a management fee to the
         Company for administration services of $45,000 for the year end of
         December 28, 1997. There were no amounts charged for services in the
         year end of December 27, 1998. IFS and one of its wholly-owned
         subsidiaries subleased a facility to the Company in the United Kingdom.
         For the year ended December 28, 1997, the Company paid $133,449 for
         this facility. No amounts were charged to the company for the year
         ended December 27, 1998.

         The Company has advanced funds to and paid various expenses on behalf
         of Mr. Halpern. At December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997 the total
         amount due to the Company is $31,149.

         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 27, 1998 was $32,000. At December 27,
         1998 there was a $94,500 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. On February 11, 1998 the Chief Financial Officer of the
         company became the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer
         of the Celebrated Group, Plc. No amount was allocated to IFS or
         Celebrated of his salary of $37,333 for 1998.



[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 28, 1999, 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 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 same voting rights as the
         common shares. 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. For the year ended December 27, 1998, no
         amounts have been amortized, as the warrants were canceled after
         conversion to preferred stock.

         On December 27, 1998 Woodland agreed to convert $1,500,000 of loans and
         accrued interest into 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible 8%
         Preferred Stock. The Company's Board of Directors approved this
         agreement.



         The company intends to amend and restate the Series A Preferred Stock
         terms. The company will authorize an additional 1,900,000 shares. The
         then total of 2,000,000 shares will be changed to $2.00 par value. The
         agreed dividend will be 8% and will be cumulative. The shares will have
         a liquidation preference of $2.00 plus an amount equal to an imputed
         dividend of 8% per annum. In addition, the shares will be convertible
         into 1.1 common shares for each preferred share.

         After amendment of the Series A Preferred Stocks, Woodland has agreed
         to exchange its 725,000 shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred
         Stocks for 725,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stocks. In addition,
         100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stocks will be amended
         to 750,000 shares of $2.00 par value Series A Preferred Stocks.

         At December 27, 1998 dividends in arrears on the Series B
         non-convertible preferred stock amounted to $174,000 or $.24 per share.




         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 $1,070,284 for the twenty-six weeks ending
June 27, 1999 which compares to a net loss of $723,674 for the same period in
1998. This is an increase of $346,610. The major reasons for the change is that
the net loss of the Celebrated Group increased by $489,628 and general and
administrative expenses decreased by $105,970 for the first twenty-six weeks of
1999 versus 1998.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's negative working capital as of June 27, 1999 was $141,447 as
compared to a negative working capital of $146,373 at December 27, 1998. Total
current assets were at $56,668 and $68,693 as of June 27, 1999 and December 27,
1998, respectively. Current liabilities were $198,115 and 215,066 as of June 27,
1999 and December 27, 1998, respectively.

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

</TABLE>


During the twenty-six weeks period ended June 27, 1999, the Company used
approximately $154,925 for operating activities. The Company had a net loss of
$1,070,284. The Company's accounts payable were reduced by approximately
$20,000.

Cash generated by financing activities for the period was $142,900, which
include the proceeds from a loan from related parties of $142,900.

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

                                       11
<PAGE>
Company does not anticipate that Celebrated will pay dividends in 1999. 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.
