5.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In April, 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 requires
such costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. The effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements upon adoption of SOP 98-5 is not presently determinable.

13 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 AND JUNE 29, 1997

REVENUES. Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 1998 were $21,812,000
as compared to $16,492,000 for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 1997. The 32.3%
increase in revenues primarily was due to the opening of ten new restaurants
subsequent to the second quarter of 1997 and, to a lesser extent, a 4.5%
increase in same store sales and selective menu price increases.

COST OF RESTAURANT SALES. The cost of restaurant sales as a percentage of
restaurant sales decreased to 34.4% for the second quarter of 1998 from 34.9%
for the second quarter of 1997. This decrease primarily was due to favorable
food procurement costs and to selective menu price increases that were
implemented during the fourth quarter of 1997, offset somewhat by certain
promotions during the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

LABOR AND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. Labor and other related expenses, as a
percentage of restaurant sales, increased to 27.2% during the second quarter of
1998 as compared to 26.2% for the second quarter of 1997. This increase was
primarily attributed to higher labor costs in the new Midwest restaurants
including related relocation costs.

OTHER RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Other restaurant operating expenses as a
percentage of restaurant sales improved to 18.9% for the second quarter of 1998
as compared with 19.4% for the second quarter of 1997. The improvement was
primarily due to more favorable utilities and occupancy expenses relative to
sales.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues improved to 6.7% for the second quarter of 1998 as
compared with 7.9% for the second quarter of 1997. The improvement is attributed
to efficiencies realized through higher chain-wide sales volumes.

DEPRECIATION. Depreciation as a percentage of revenues increased to 2.6% for the
second quarter of 1998 from 2.0% in the second quarter of 1997. The increase was
primarily due to remodeling and upgrading of equipment undertaken over the past
year as well as generally higher build-out costs associated with the new Midwest
restaurants.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. A provision for income taxes of $579,000 was
recognized for the second quarter of 1998 as compared to $390,000 during the
second quarter in 1997. The increase was primarily attributed to higher income
before taxes and, to a lesser extent , an increase in the effective tax rate
being utilized by the Company to 36% in Fiscal 1998 from 34% in Fiscal 1997.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS AND NET INCOME. As a result of the factors discussed
above, the Company's income from operations increased 41.9% to $1,761,000 for
the second quarter of 1998 from $1,241,000 for the second quarter of 1997. The
Company's net income increased 36.4% to $1,030,000 for the second quarter of
1998 from $755,000 for the second quarter of 1997.

26 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 AND JUNE 29, 1997

REVENUES. Total revenues for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 were $43,290,000
as compared to $33,468,000 for the 26 weeks ended June 29, 1997. The 29.3%
increase in revenues primarily was due to the opening of five new restaurants in
both the second half of fiscal 1997 and the first half of fiscal 1998 and, to a
lesser extent, a 2.0% increase in same store sales and selective menu price
increases.

COST OF RESTAURANT SALES. The cost of restaurant sales as a percentage of
restaurant sales decreased to 33.9% for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 from
35.3% for same period in 1997. This decrease was due to favorable food
procurement costs and to selective menu price increases that were implemented
during the fourth quarter of 1997, offset somewhat by certain promotions during
the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

LABOR AND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. Labor and other related expenses, as a
percentage of restaurant sales, increased to 27.3% during the 26 weeks ended
June 28, 1998 as compared to 26.1% for the same period in 1997. This increase
was primarily attributed to higher labor costs in the new Midwest markets
including related relocation costs.

OTHER RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Other restaurant operating expenses as a

1998 as compared with 19.3% for the same period in 1997. The improvement was
primarily due to more favorable utilities and occupancy expenses relative to

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses as a

DEPRECIATION. Depreciation as a percentage of revenues increased to 2.5% for the
26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 as compared with 2.0% for the same period in 1997.
The increase was primarily due to remodeling and upgrading of equipment
undertaken over the past year as well as generally higher build-out costs
associated with the new Midwest restaurants.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. A provision for income taxes of $1,280,000 was
recognized for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 as compared to $863,000 during
the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily attributed to higher income
before taxes and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the effective tax rate
being utilized by the Company to 36% in Fiscal 1998 from 34% in Fiscal 1997.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS AND NET INCOME. As a result of the factors discussed
above, the Company's income from operations increased 37.9% to $3,810,000 for
the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 from $2,763,000 for the same period in 1997.
The Company's net income increased 36.1% to $2,278,000 for the 26 weeks ended
June 28, 1998 from $1,674,000 for the same period in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 28, 1998, the Company's current assets of $7,565,000 exceeded its
current liabilities of $7,551,000, resulting in working capital of $14,000.
Historically, the Company has generally operated with minimal or negative
working capital as a result of the investing of current assets into non-current
property and equipment as well as the turnover of restaurant inventory relative
to more favorable vendor terms in accounts payable.

Cash provided by operating activities for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 1998 was
$2,087,000 as compared with $2,681,000 for the same period in 1997. The net
decrease of $594,000 was primarily attributed to a decrease in accounts payable
offset by increases in prepaid rent, income taxes payable, net income and
depreciation and amortization.

The cash used in investing activities was $5,258,000 for the 26 weeks ended June
28, 1998 as compared with $3,115,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase
of $2,143,000 was due to the Company opening five new restaurants during the
first half of 1998 including the purchase of one property at a cost of
$1,200,000. The cash used in investing activities during the first half of 1997
included the cost of opening four new restaurants, one major remodeling and the
cost of one new restaurant which opened subsequent to June, 1997.

The cash provided by financing activities was $2,234,000 for the first half of
1998 as compared with $821,000 for the first half of 1997. The increase in cash
provided of $1,413,000 was primarily due to increased borrowings to support
restaurant openings, including $1,000,000 related to the mortgage financing of
the restaurant which opened in April, 1998. The Company also received proceeds
of $1,215,000 from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock. These
proceeds were used to fully retire $1,482,000 of Shells, Inc. Preferred Shares.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Company's computer systems, both hardware and software, were designed in
recent years, and concerns relating to the year 2000 issue have generally been
addressed at initial development. The Company intends to continually review both
its systems and the systems of its vendors relative to year 2000 compliance
during 1998 and 1999. At this time, the Company does not believe the year 2000
issue will present a material event or uncertainty relative to the Company's
ability to operate its business.

SEASONALITY

The restaurant industry in general is seasonal depending on the location and
type of food served. The Company has experienced fluctuations in its quarter to
quarter operating results due to various factors, including the seasonal nature
of its business, local and regional weather conditions and the health of the
economy in Florida and the Midwest as well as the tourism industry. Seasonality
at the Company's restaurants is magnified due to its concentration in Florida
and, in many cases, coastal city locations, where sales are significantly
dependent on tourism, weather and seasonality patterns. Because of the
seasonality of the Company's business and the impact of new restaurant openings,
results for any quarter are not generally indicative of the results that may be
achieved for a full fiscal year on an annualized basis and cannot be used to
indicate financial performance for the entire year.
