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.

         statements of cash flows for the period  December 28, 1998 to March 28,
         1999 and for the period  December  28, 1997 to March 28, 1998 have been
         prepared  by  the  Company  without  audit.  The  accompanying  interim
         condensed  unaudited  financial  have been prepared in accordance  with

         Regulation SB. Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information

[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.

         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 $273,479 for the thirteen weeks ending March
28, 1999 which  compares to a net loss of $353,361  for the same period in 1997.
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 periods ended March 28,
1999 and March 29, 1998 in the amounts of $189,680 and $179,482, respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's  negative  working capital as of March 28, 1999 was  approximately
$173,000 as compared to a negative working capital of approximately  $147,000 as
of December 27, 1998. Total current assets  decreased by  approximately  $12,000
from   December  27,  1998  to  $56,696.   Current   liabilities   increased  by
approximately $14,000 from December 27, 1998 to $229,487.



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 March 29, 1998,  the Company used $73,997
for operating activities. The Company had a net loss of approximately $274,000.


                                       11
<PAGE>
Cash  generated  by  financing  activities  for the  thirteen  week  period  was
approximately  $62,000,  which  include the  proceeds  from a loan from  related
parties of $62,000.

The Company has  improved  short term  liquidity  through a number of  different
steps including the reduction of  administrative  expenses and the conversion of
loans and accrued  interest from Woodland  Limited  Partnership  into  preferred
stock.  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 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.
