LINE OF CREDIT

On June 16, 2000, the Registrant entered into an amendment to extend for one
year its , $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with US Bank. The
agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts borrowed,
requires a commitment fee of 1/2% on all unborrowed amounts, and is secured by
certain assets of the Registrant, including its license agreement with MCA for
use of the name Gladstone's. It is also guaranteed by Sea View. The agreement
requires the Registrant to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity
covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement. The
Registrant utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as
collateral support for a letter of credit issued by US Bank pursuant to the
Concession Agreement. The letter of credit expires on July 6, 2001.

This agreement also provides a temporary bulge in the terms of the revolving
line of credit agreement to provide for a $200,000 increase in the maximum
amount of the line of credit from $500,000 to $700,000. The additional $200,000
of available borrowing capacity will be available to the Registrant during the
period November 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 only, after which the line of
credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESTAURANT REVENUES

Restaurant operations include the results of Gladstone's 4 Fish ("Gladstone's")
in Pacific Palisades, California and RJ's - Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills,
California.

Total sales for the three months ended January 31, 2001 were $3,346,000 compared
with $3,595,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $249,000 or 6.9%.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2001, total sales were $10,960,000
compared with $10,258,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $702,000
or 6.8%.

The Registrant believes that the decrease in sales at Gladstone's for the three
months ended January 31, 2001 as compared to the comparable period in the prior
year is the result of ongoing construction of a sewer line on Pacific Coast
highway in Santa Monica.



COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold includes all food, beverages, liquor, direct labor and other
operating expenses, including rent, of the Registrant's restaurant operations.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended January 31, 2001 was $3,272,000 or
97.8%, as a percentage of sales, compared with $3,417,000 or 95.0%, as a
percentage of sales, during the same period last year. The change is a result of
the increase in fixed costs (rent,utilities,taxes,and insurances) as a
percentage of sales.

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 was $9,654,000 or
88. 1%, as a percentage of sales, compared with $9,254,000, or 90.2%, as a
percentage of sales, during the same period last year. The change is due to
decrease in fixed costs (rent, utilities , taxes and insurances) as a percentage
of sales.

CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES




SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

For the three months ended January 31, 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $272,000 compared with $314,000 for the same period in the prior
year, a decrease of $42,000, or 13.4%. The elimination of separate position as
chief financial officer, and implementation of certain strategies are the
primary cause of the decrease.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $804,000 compared with $765,000 for the comparable period in the
previous year, an increase of $39,000, or 5.1%.The increase is the results of
Registrant ongoing litigation expenses.


DEPRECIATION/AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

For the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2001, depreciation
expense was $137,000 and $326,000, respectively, compared with $136,000 and
$286,000, respectively, for the same periods last year.Amortization expense
relates completely to the Registrant's Goodwill and other intangible assets. In
April of Fiscal 2000, goodwill was fully amortized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On March 30, 1999, the Registrant completed a private offering of $1,800,000 of
subordinated, convertible notes ("Subordinated Notes") to a limited number of
existing shareholders of the Registrant who are "accredited investors" within
the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The proceeds of the offering were used to retire existing indebtedness
to Outside LLC, an entity affiliated with Overhead (as defined herein), and to
finance the renovations at Gladstone's. The Subordinated Notes are immediately
convertible into common stock of the Registrant at a rate of $1 per share, and
pay interest at 5% per annum. The Registrant may pay interest on the
Subordinated Notes in cash or in kind. The Subordinated Notes mature on March
30, 2003; provided, however, that the holders of the Subordinated Notes may
elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes
on March 30, 2002.

The Registrant has entered into an agreement for tenant improvement and
equipment financing with Lyon Credit Corporation ("TI Facility"). The terms of
the agreement provide for the extension of up to $1,089,000 of credit, to be
repaid over a 5 year period with interest at the rate of the yield to maturity
of the five year Treasury Note plus 4 percent (9.94%at January 31,2001).This
financing is secured by certain tenant improvements and equipment. At January
31, 2001, the balance due under the TI Facility was $840,000.

On June 16, 2000, the Registrant entered into an amendment to extend for one
year its $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with US Bank ("Line of
Credit"). The agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts
borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1/2%on all unborrowed amounts, and is
secured by certain assets of the Registrant, including its license agreement
with MCA for use of the name Gladstone's. It is also guaranteed by Sea View. The
agreement requires the Registrant to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity
covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement. The
Registrant utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as
collateral support for a letter of credit issued by US Bank pursuant to the
Concession Agreement. The letter of credit expires on July 6, 2001 and requires
a commitment fee of 1%. This agreement also provides a temporary bulge in the
terms of the revolving line of credit agreement to provide for a $200,000
increase in the maximum amount of the line of credit from $500,000 to $700,000.
The additional $200,000 of available borrowing capacity will be available to the
Registrant during the period November 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 only, after
which the line of credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit.

The Registrant is exploring various opportunities to expand its operations. The
Registrant's ability to expand is subject to the availability of debt or equity
financing on terms that are acceptable to the Registrant. There can be no
assurance that such financing will be available. The Registrant believes it will
have sufficient funds form operations and borrowings to meet its anticipated
requirements for working capital and capital expenditures during the next twelve
months.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for the historical information contained herein, certain statements in
this Form 10-Q, including statements in this Item are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievement of the Registrant, or industry results, to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others,
the following: the Registrant's ability to secure adequate debt or equity
financing in order to comply with the terms of the Gladstone's Concession
Agreement, including the maintenance of a letter of credit, the Registrant's
ability to generate an operating profit based on the terms of the Gladstone's
Concession Agreement;; that its principal source of cash is funds generated from
operations; that restaurants historically have represented a high risk
investment in a very competitive industry; general and local economic
conditions, which can, among other things, impact tourism, consumer spending and
restaurant revenues; weather and natural disasters, such as earthquakes and
fires, which can impact sales at the Registrant's restaurants; quality of
management; changes in, or the failure to comply with, governmental regulations;
unexpected increases in the cost of key food products, labor and other operating
expenses in connection with the Registrant's business; and other factors
referenced in this Form 10-Q and the Registrant's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        defined by SEC regulations.

                                     PART II

                                OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

           The Registrant is subject to normal and routine litigation. The
           amount of liability from the claims and actions against the Company
           cannot be determined with certainty, but in the opinion of
           management, the ultimate liability from all pending legal proceedings
           should not materially affect the results of operations and liquidity
           of the Company.
