CUCOS INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)
1.     The Company:  Cucos Inc. (the "Company") owns and franchises Mexican restaurants under the name "Cucos".  At October 22, 2000, twelve Company-owned restaurants and four franchised restaurants were in operation.  At the end of the Comparable
Quarter, there were twelve company-owned and five franchised restaurants in operation.  Two company-owned restaurants were sold to franchisees during the Comparable Quarter.

2.     Fiscal Year:  The Company uses a 52/53 week year for financial reporting purposes with the Company's fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to June 30 of each year.  Fiscal 2001 will end on July 1, 2001, and consists of one
sixteen-week quarter that ended October 22, 2000, and three twelve-week quarters ending January 14, 2001, and April 8, 2001, and July 1, 2001.  Fiscal 2000 was a 53 week year, while fiscal year 2001 will be a 52 week year.

3.     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2000.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial results for the sixteen weeks ended October 22, 2000.  Operating
results for the period shown are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year ending July 1, 2001.

4.     Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.

5.       Because of the Company's recurring losses from operations, its net capital deficiency, and its default on its credit facility, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company
has taken steps to refocus its operations, reverse sales declines and increase restaurant profitability.  However, considering, among other things, the Company's historical operating losses and the current lack of commitments from third parties to provide
short-term or long-term financial resources, there can be no assurance that this action will have the expected effect on the Company's results of operations and its cash flows in fiscal 2001.

6.    Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to current classifications.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales of Food and Beverage for the sixteen weeks ended October 22, 2000 (the "Current Quarter") decreased $840,529 (15.6%) to $4,558,800 from $5,399,329 for the sixteen weeks ended October 17, 1999 (the "Comparable Quarter").  The decline in sales is due
primarily to two fewer restaurants in operation during the Current Quarter, a reduction in video poker income, and a decline in guest counts in the restaurants open throughout both quarters.

Two company-owned restaurants in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, were closed during the Comparable Quarter accounting for 6.1% of the decline.  Sales in restaurants open throughout both the Current and Comparable Quarters declined 8.5%, and the
reduction in video poker revenue was .9%.

Restaurant Expenses in the Current Quarter decreased $738,131 (14.8%) to $4,264,061 from $5,002,192.  Restaurant Expenses in the existing restaurants open throughout both quarters decreased $391,692 (8.4%).

A summary of the components of restaurant expenses are:

|Description                   | Current Quarter | Comparable Quarter
|----------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------
|                              |                 |                   
|Cost of Sales                 | 25.9%           | 27.9%             
|Restaurant Labor and Benefits | 36.7            | 37.1              
|Other Operating Expenses      | 19.9            | 17.5              
|Occupancy Costs               | 11.1            | 10.1              
|                              |                 |                   
|Total Restaurant Expenses     | 93.6%           | 92.6%             
|                              |                 |                   

Net Royalties and Franchise Revenues declined $15,190 (30.8%) to $34,193 in the Current Quarter compared to $49,383 in the Comparable Quarter.  During the Comparable Quarter, the franchise restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa, closed and the Development
Agreement fee of $17,000 forfeited.  Royalties from franchised restaurants open throughout both quarters increased 1.1%.

Commissary and Other Income decreased $25,860 (79.4%) to $6,714 from $32,574.  During the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2000, the Company's contract to manage a franchised restaurant was cancelled.  The reduction in the management fee income was $20,426,
and the Company share of profits for this restaurant declined an additional $4,996 versus the Comparable Quarter.

Operations Supervision Expenses declined $28,418 (14.4%) to $169,475 in the Current Quarter compared to $197,893 in the Comparable Quarter.  The decrease is primarily a reduction in the labor and benefit costs of the supervision
personnel.  In addition, costs associated with the supervision of the franchised restaurant discussed above were eliminated.

Corporate Expenses declined $84,918 (24.3%) to $265,296 in the Current Quarter compared to $350,214 in the Comparable Quarter.  The reduction is primarily attributed to negotiated reductions of various vendor payables resulting in
savings of $46,000.  Furthermore, personnel reduction in the administrative and marketing departments as well as the downsize of the corporate offices resulted in additional savings.

Charges Related to Closed Units recorded income of $72,968 during the Comparable Quarter resulting from settlements with landlords to release the Company of its obligations and the forgiveness of accrued expenses for two underperforming closed units.
Additionally, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of the Montgomery, Alabama, assets of $25,000 in the Comparable Quarter.

Interest Expenses increased $60,200 (39.8%) to $211,536 in the Current Quarter compared to $151,336 in the Comparable Quarter.  This increase is primarily additional interest associated with the Company's credit facility, which is discussed in detail in
the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section.  .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the Current Quarter, the Company's operating activities used $164,804 in cash, compared to the Comparable Quarter, when operating activities used $96,310 in cash.

Net cash used by investing activities was $41,083 in the Current Quarter versus $19,389 in the Comparable Quarter.  During the Comparable Quarter, the Company received a down payment of $25,000 from the sale of leasehold improvements
and equipment for the Montgomery restaurant which was franchised in October of 1999.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $198,098 in the Current Quarter compared to cash used of $24,691 in the Comparable Quarter.  During the Current Quarter, the Company signed a line of credit agreement with Jacksonville
Restaurant Acquisition Corp. (JRAC) for a maximum of five million dollars.  $220,000 was drawn down from the line during the Current Quarter.

In May 1999, the Company and its commercial lender entered into a forbearance agreement whereby the commercial lender agreed to defer the Company's requirement to make required principal and interest payments for May, June and July
1999 until April 2001, and to defer required principal payments for August, September and October 1999 until April 2001. The Company did not make its required interest payment on October 1, 1999, nor did it make its required principal and interest payment
on November 1, 1999 and December 1, 1999, and was therefore in default on its credit facility. The Company received notice from its commercial lender that under the terms of the credit facility, the entire amount outstanding, $3,105,031 at October 17,
1999 was immediately due, and the lender could take possession of the assets pledged as collateral.  Until September 1, 2000, the commercial lender agreed, pursuant a forbearance agreement, to not exercise its rights to the collateral. The Company is
attempting to obtain financing through JRAC to repay the debt in default, negotiate a waiver of the credit facility default, or obtain additional payment deferrals in fiscal year 2001.  There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
these efforts.

On September 29, 2000, the Company entered into a ten year Line of Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JRAC, the Company's majority shareholder.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, JRAC may in its discretion lend the
Company up to $5 million for working capital, payment of outstanding indebtedness, refurbishing units, establishing new units, and future acquisitions.  The loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  Advances will accrue interest
at an annual rate equal to three percentage points above the prime lending rate of Wells Fargo Bank.  JRAC will receive an origination fee of two percent of the amount of each cash advance. Beginning January 1, 2001, the outstanding loans (which include
$220,000 advanced from August 14, 2000 to October 6, 2000) will be repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest.  The Company has the right to prepay in whole or part at any time any indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Future advances under this line of credit are subject to the willingness and ability of JRAC to fund such advances.  JRAC has advised the Company that it is not willing to make further advances under the Credit Agreement and, instead, has initiated
discussions with the Company concerning other financial arrangements.

Because of the Company's recurring net losses, the debt in default, its net capital deficiency, and the lack of firm commitments from third parties to provide short-term or long-term financial resources, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they come due in 2001.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements regarding management's  present plans or expectations for new unit openings, remodels, other capital expenditures, the financing thereof, and disposition of impaired units, involve risks and uncertainties relative to return
expectations and related allocation of resources, and changing economic or competitive conditions, as well as the negotiation of agreements with third parties, which could cause actual results to differ from present plans or expectations, and such
differences could be material.  Similarly, forward-looking statements regarding management's  present expectations for operating results involve risk and uncertainties relative to these and other factors, such as advertising effectiveness and the ability
to achieve cost reductions, which also would cause actual results to differ from present plans.  Such differences could be material.  Management does not expect to update such forward-looking statements continually as conditions change, and readers should
consider that such statements speak only as to the date hereof.

Part II-Other Information



ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None, except as previously reported.

ITEM 2.     CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

In August 2000, pursuant to a tender offer to the Company's shareholders, the Jacksonville Restaurant
Acquisition Corp. (JRAC) purchased 1.2 million shares of the Company's Common Stock for $1,200,000 in cash.  During fiscal 2000, JRAC purchased 400,000 shares of convertible Preferred Stock at $1 per share.

ITEM 3.     DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

The Company has a credit facility with a commercial lending institution. This credit facility consists of a term loan to be repaid in
monthly payments through December 2007, and is secured by the restaurant operating properties.

In May 1999, the Company and its commercial lender entered into a forbearance agreement whereby the commercial
lender agreed to defer the Company's requirement to make required principal and interest payments for May, June and July 1999 until April 2001, and to defer required principal payments for August, September and October 1999 until April 2001. The Company
did not make its required interest payment on October 1, 1999, nor did it make its required principal and interest payment on November 1, 1999 and December 1, 1999, and was therefore in default on its credit facility. The Company received notice from its
commercial lender that under the terms of the credit facility, the entire amount outstanding, $3,105,031 at October 17, 1999 was immediately due, and the lender could take possession of the assets pledged as collateral.  Until September 1, 2000, the
commercial lender agreed, pursuant a forbearance agreement, to not exercise its rights to the collateral. The Company is attempting to obtain financing through JRAC to repay the debt in default, negotiate a waiver of the credit facility default, or obtain
additional payment deferrals in fiscal year 2001.  There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
