                TPI ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The  consolidated  balance sheets  as  of  April  17,  1994 and  the
consolidated statements of  operations and cash flows for  the periods
ended April 17,  1994 and April  18, 1993, have  been prepared by  the
Company without audit.  Certain amounts appearing for the period ended
April 18, 1993 have  been reclassified to conform to  the presentation
for the  period ended April 17,  1994.  In the  opinion of management,
all  adjustments  (which include  only  normal recurring  adjustments)
necessary  to present  fairly the  consolidated financial  position at
April  17,  1994  and  the  consolidated  results  of  operations  and
consolidated cash flows for the periods ended April 17, 1994 and April
18, 1993, have been made.

  Certain information  and footnote disclosures  normally included  in
financial  statements prepared  in accordance with  generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These financial
statements  should be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  1993  audited
financial statements of the  Company included in its Annual  Report on
Form 10-K  for the  year  ended December  26, 1993.    The results  of
operations for the sixteen  week period ended  April 17, 1994 are  not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

    Primary earnings per  share amounts are  computed by dividing  net
income  by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares (dilutive options and  warrants) outstanding during the period.
Reported primary per share amounts include common equivalents relating
to dilutive stock options of 145,000  at April 17, 1994 and 709,000 at
April 18, 1993.

    Fully diluted  earnings per share amounts  are similarly computed,
but also include the  effect, when dilutive, of  the Company's 8  1/4%
Convertible   Subordinated  Debentures   and  5%   Convertible  Senior
Subordinated Debentures, after the elimination of the related interest
requirements,  net  of  income   taxes.    The  Company's  convertible
debentures are  excluded from the  April 17, 1994  and April 18,  1993
computation due to their antidilutive effect during these periods.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

  Continuing   operations  primarily  includes   the  results  of  TPI
Restaurants, Inc.  ("Restaurants"),   whose revenues are  derived from
restaurant sales.  The first quarterly reporting period consists of 16
weeks  and  the remaining  three  quarters  are 12  weeks  each.   The
restaurant  business is seasonal in  nature with the  second and third
fiscal quarters (Spring and Summer) having higher weekly sales  volume
than the first and fourth quarters.


Results of Operations

Revenues

  Revenues for  1994 increased to $87.4  million, 2.7%  over the $85.1
million earned last year.  New restaurants accounted for $11.9 million
of 1994  revenues, while comparable store sales declined $3.0 million,
or 4.8%, in the Shoney's concept and  increased $0.8 million, or 6.1%,
in the Captain D's concept.  The first twelve weeks of new restaurants
operations are excluded  from the comparable store sales computation. 
Revenues  for 1993 include $7.4 million relating to 34 underperforming
units, which were  either closed  subsequent to the  first quarter  of
1993 or  are scheduled to be  closed in accordance with  the Company's
restructuring  plan adopted in 1993.  Revenues and expenses related to
units provided for in the reserve for restructuring have been excluded
from  the  1994  statement of  operations.    The  Company's operating
results include 182 Shoney's and 66 Captain D's units operating at the
end  of the  first quarter  of 1994  compared to  186 Shoney's  and 70
Captain D's  operating at  the end  of the same  period for  the prior
year.

  The Company  is implementing  a number  of programs  to address  the
softness in  comparable store sales.  Testing will begin on a new menu
that  is more streamlined and  geared towards improving  margins.  The
Company  is in  the initial  phase of  the introduction  of rotisserie
chicken,  which  is  being  well  received   presently  in  two   test
markets.  Training programs are being enhanced by the establishment of
certified  training  stores  in  each  region.    Also, the  Company's
incentive compensation programs have  been modified to encourage sales
growth and performance improvement.

Cost and Expenses

  Cost  of sales  includes  food, supplies  and  uniforms,  restaurant
labor  and benefits,  restaurant  depreciation  and amortization,  and
other restaurant operating expenses.  A summary of cost of  sales as a
percentage of revenues for 1994 and 1993 is shown below.

                                               ------        ------

                                                87.8%        85.9%

                                               ======        ======
</TABLE>

  The Company's food  costs suffered from significant price  increases
in  several   high  volume  commodities,   including  pork,  vegetable
shortening, produce and shrimp.  These increases were partially offset
by a decrease in white fish prices, which contributed to a decrease in
food costs as  a percentage of revenues  in the Company's  Captain D's
restaurants.      Most   restaurant   operating   expenses,  including
depreciation  and  amortization, repairs  and  maintenance, utilities,
franchise  fees,  and  property   taxes,  are  relatively  fixed,  and
accordingly,  a decrease in same store sales results in an unfavorable
margin impact.  In addition to the effect of the decline in comparable
store  sales,  the increase  in  other  restaurant operating  expenses
reflects an increase  in insurance expense of 0.4% as  a percentage of
revenues,  or  $344,000.    Restaurant labor  and  benefits  increased
primarily as  a result of increases in workers' compensation insurance
expense.   As discussed  in its 1993  Annual Report on  Form 10-K, the
Company made a significant adjustment to its workers' compensation and
general liability insurance reserves  based on improved data available
to  the Company  for assessing  its potential  exposure.   The Company
continues  to  recognize workers'  compensation and  general liability
insurance expense  at a higher rate  than in the prior  year to better
reflect the likely outcome of its liability.  

  General and administrative expenses have decreased $67,000,  or 0.3%
as  a  percentage  of  revenue  due  primarily  to  the  restructuring
activities at the end of 1993 involving reductions in field management
and corporate staff, termination of the pension plan and reductions in
senior level compensation.  



<PAGE>  9

  Other costs and expenses improved  by $375,000 primarily as a result
of a $400,000 gain on the disposition of assets.


Other Income and Expenses

  Interest  income decreased $93,000 due to the  unusually high amount
of cash  on hand  in the  prior year following  the investment  in the
Company by the Airlie Group L.P.  and certain related parties on March
19, 1993.  Interest expense decreased by $153,000 relating to interest
on  capital leases  included  in  the  restructuring  reserve  and  an
additional $83,000 due to the  termination of the Company's retirement
plan at the end of 1993.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The  Company has  a working capital  deficit of  $8,347,000 at April
17, 1994 compared to a working capital deficit at December 26, 1993 of
$10,796,000.   Approximately 92% of the Company's restaurant sales are
for cash and the  remainder are for credit card receivables  which are
generally collected within  3 days.   Because the Company's  payables,
including amounts for inventory and other operating expenses, are paid
over a  longer period of time, it is not unusual for the Company, like
many  others in  the restaurant  industry, to  operate with  a working
capital deficit.   Furthermore,  the Company  uses available  cash for
capital spending or repayment of  advances under its revolving  credit
facility.

Operating Activities

  Net  cash provided  by operating  activities decreased  $378,000  to
$3,530,000 in 1994 from $3,908,000 in 1993.  During  the first quarter
of  1994,  the  Company  received  a  federal  income  tax  refund  of
$2,500,000.   Accounts  payable, which  includes payables  relating to
operations and  construction, declined by $3,813,000  during the first
quarter of  1994 compared to  an increase  of $2,074,000 in  the first
quarter  of 1993.  Accrued expenses decreased during the first quarter
of 1993  due to a lump  sum benefit payment of  $1,850,000 relating to
the early retirement of a senior executive officer. 
   
Investing Activities

  Net cash  used in  investing activities decreased  $3,173,000.   The
decrease in cash used is  primarily a result of the Company's  plan to
build fewer restaurants in 1994  compared to 1993.  The  Company spent
$4,634,000  on new  stores  in  1994,  or  $3,259,000  less  than  the
$8,093,000 spent on new stores  in the same period of 1993.   Although
four  new Shoney's  and one new  Captain D's  were opened  in both the
first quarter  of 1994  and the  first quarter of  1993, three  of the
units opened in 1994  were substantially complete at the  end of 1993.
In  addition,  funds  used  for  remodeling  of  existing  stores  has
decreased by $1,389,000 to $687,000.    


<PAGE>  10

Financing Activities

  Net cash provided  by financing activities decreased by  $16,992,000
due primarily to  the investment  in the Company  by The Airlie  Group
L.P.  and certain related parties on March 19, 1993.  This transaction
provided  the  Company  with  net  proceeds  of  $29,099,000 from  the
issuance of  $15,000,000 of convertible debentures  and $15,000,000 of
common  stock and warrants.  A portion  of these proceeds were used to
pay down the Company's credit facilities.  

  As of April 17, 1994, the Company had borrowings of $23,500,000  and
standby  letters   of  credit   of  $10,951,000  outstanding   on  its
$50,000,000 credit facility.

Expansion Plans

  The Company  currently plans to  open four  additional new  Shoney's
restaurants and five  to six new  Captain D's during the  remainder of
1994. Currently, the average  cost to purchase land and  construct and
equip  a new  restaurant  is  approximately  $1,450,000 for  each  new
Shoney's and approximately  $700,000 for  each new Captain  D's.   The
Company  intends  to  spend  approximately  $7,600,000 on  remodeling,
refurbishing and  maintaining its restaurants during  the remainder of
1994. In addition, the Company plans to spend $750,000 in 1994 for the
development and installation of point-of-sale and back office computer
systems at approximately half of its Captain D's restaurants, with the
remaining Captain D's restaurants  to be converted to the  new systems
in 1995.  The  Company believes it will  be able to provide funds  for
this  capital   expenditure  schedule  through  its   cash  flow  from
operations and borrowings on the credit facility.
  
  The Company believes that there  is potential to expand its Shoney's
and  Captain D's restaurants within  its' existing markets  as well as
within the other areas in which the Company has been granted exclusive
rights by Shoney's, Inc.  In order to maintain the exclusive rights to
certain  reserved   areas,  the  Company  has   entered  into  various
development  agreements to  open restaurants  over defined  periods of
time.  During the remainder of 1994, the Company is committed to build
one Shoney's in  its Houston, TX reserved area and  the same number as
opened by Shoney's  Inc., estimated  to be two,  in eastern  Michigan.
Subsequent to 1994,  these agreements require  the construction of  an
additional  33 Shoney's  prior to  April 6,  2003, and 32  Captain D's
prior to July 31, 2011. 

  The extent  of the Company's expansion  plans beyond  1994 depend on
the  ability   of  the  Company's  existing   operations  to  generate
sufficient  cash  flow  for  future expansion.    Management  believes
sufficient funds will be  available from cash on hand, cash flows from
operations and borrowings under  the Credit Facility to meet  its debt
service  requirements,  as well  as  its working  capital  and capital
expenditure requirements in the foreseeable future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

  Maxcell   Telecom   Plus,  Inc.,   et   al.,   v.   McCaw   Cellular
Communications, Inc., et al.

    On November 1, 1993,  the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Maxcell Telecom Plus, Inc.("Maxcell"),filed a complaint in the Circuit
Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in  and for Palm Beach County,
Florida.   On April 26, 1994, the court dismissed two of the 16 counts
brought  by  Maxcell and  denied the  remainder  of McCaw's  motion to
dismiss the claims of Maxcell.   The court also denied  McCaw's motion
to  stay  discovery, and  subsequently,  granted  Maxcell's motion  to
compel  discovery.  In a procedural ruling, while permitting 14 claims
of Maxcell to go  forward, the court dismissed TPI  Enterprises itself
as a plaintiff.  This procedural ruling does not impede the ability of
TPI  to  seek  recovery  on   its  claims  through  its   wholly-owned
subsidiary, Maxcell.   The litigation is still in its early stages and
there can be no assurance as to what the ultimate outcome will be.  

    The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  defendants  in  various
lawsuits arising  in  the ordinary  course  of business.    It is  the
opinion of  the management  of the  Company that the  outcome of  such
litigation  will  not   have  a  significant  adverse  effect  on  the
consolidated financial statements.
