Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The Mid America Transaction

         Effective  April  4,  1996,  the  Company  acquired,  pursuant  to  the
Leasehold  and Asset  Purchase and Sale  Agreement  with Mid America  Restaurant
Group, Inc. ("Mid America"), all of the leasehold interests and operating assets
of Mid America  formerly used by Mid America in connection with the operation of
six  Blackeyed  Pea  restaurants  in the Kansas City  metropolitan  area.  These
Blackeyed Pea restaurants were closed prior to the Company's  acquisition of the
Mid America  assets.  The purchase price of the assets  acquired was $3,000,000,
which was paid by the  Company  in cash.  The  purchase  price of the assets was
determined by arm's length negotiations  between the parties. The purchase price
was paid by the Company from capital  reserves  targeted for use for  restaurant
development  and  acquisition.   These  reserves  represent  proceeds  from  the
Company's November 1995 initial public offering of its Common Stock.

         The Company  intends to remodel each of the restaurants so acquired and
to operate  them as The Italian Oven  restaurants.  It is  anticipated  that the
remodeling will be completed and these new Company-owned  restaurants opened for
business by September 1996.

The Western Pennsylvania Transaction

         On April  29,  1996,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of the
operating  assets  of four  franchised  restaurants  of the  Company,  Ovens  of
Cranberry,  Ltd., Ovens of Monroeville,  Ltd., Ovens of Erie One, Ltd. and Ovens
of North Hills, Ltd. ("Sellers"),  which owned four The Italian Oven restaurants
in the Western  Pennsylvania  market.  The acquisition was completed pursuant to
the terms of an asset acquisition  agreement dated February 22, 1996 between the
Company, the Sellers and the Sellers' shareholders,  Marc B. Robertshaw, William
J. Rosa and David S.  Gallatin.  The operating  assets  acquired  consist of all
furniture,  fixtures, equipment,  operating licenses, leasehold improvements and
leasehold interests necessary to operate the restaurants.

         The purchase price for the acquired  assets was  $2,714,500,  which was
paid  $2,534,500  in cash and $180,000  through the issuance of 36,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock (valued at the market price of $5.00 per share on the
last business day prior to  acquisition).  The purchase  price was determined by
arm's length  negotiations  among the parties.  The cash portion of the purchase
price  was  paid by the  Company  from  capital  reserves  targeted  for use for
restaurant  development and acquisition.  These reserves represent proceeds from
the Company's November 1995 initial public offering of its Common Stock.

         The assets  acquired  by the  Company  were used by the Sellers for the
operation of each of their respective The Italian Oven restaurants.  The Company
intends to continue to operate the assets for the same purposes.
