              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.   INTERIM FINANCIAL PRESENTATION

     The interim consolidated  financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
     requirements  for reporting on Form 10-Q.  These financial  statements have
     not been audited by independent accountants.  The December 26, 1999 balance
     sheet data was  derived  from  audited  financial  statements  but does not
     include  all  disclosures   required  by  generally   accepted   accounting
     principles.  The interim  financial  statements and notes thereto should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
     Company's Form 10-K dated December  26,1999.  In the opinion of management,
     these interim  financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments  of a normal
     recurring  nature  necessary  for a fair  statement  of the results for the
     interim periods presented. The current period results of operations are not
     necessarily  indicative of results,  which  ultimately will be reported for
     the full year ending December 31, 2000.

     Certain  prior year  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to current
     year presentation.

2.   PREOPENING COSTS

     In accordance  with AICPA  Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5,  "Reporting on
     the Costs of Start-Up  Activities",  the Company  expenses all start-up and
     preopening costs as they are incurred.

3.   FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

     In June 1998,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments  and Hedging  Activities".  This  Statement  requires  that all
     derivative  instruments  be  recorded  on the  balance  sheet at their fair
     value.  Changes  in the fair value of  derivatives  will be  recorded  each
     period in current  earnings or other  comprehensive  income,  depending  on
     whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge  transaction  and, if
     it is, the type of hedge transaction. The new rules will be  effective  the
     first quarter of 2001.  The new standard will not have a material impact on
     the Company's financial statements.

4.   REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

     On August 9, 1999,  the Company  effected a 1-for-4  reverse stock split of
     the Company's common stock. All share and per share data have been restated
     to reflect the reverse stock split.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form
10-Q. Except for the historical  information contained herein, the discussion in
this Form 10-Q contains  certain forward  looking  statements that involve risks
and  uncertainties,  such as  statements  of the  Company's  plans,  objectives,
expectations  and intentions.  The cautionary  statements made in this Form 10-Q
should be read as being  applicable to all related forward  statements  wherever
they  appear in this Form  10-Q.  The  Company's  actual  results  could  differ
materially  from those  discussed here. For a discussion of certain factors that
could cause actual  results to be materially  different,  refer to the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 1999.

Material  Changes in Results of Operations  for the Three Months Ended March 26,
2000 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 28, 1999

The results of  operations  for the three month periods ended March 26, 2000 and
March 28, 1999 include the  operations  of nine Daily Grill  restaurants;  three
Pizzeria  Uno units;  The Grill  restaurant  and the San Jose Grill  restaurant.
During the 2000  period,  the  Company,  through its 50%  partnership  interest,
operated a Daily Grill Short Order at Universal Studios CityWalk. The results of
that  restaurant  are reported under the equity method and,  therefore,  are not
included in consolidated  revenues or operating  results,  other than management
fees from that restaurant.

The Company's  revenues for the three-month period increased 5.2% to $10,826,000
from  $10,288,000  for  the  same  period  in  1999.  Total  revenues   included
$10,676,000  of sales  revenues and $150,000 of management and licensing fees in
2000 as compared to $10,163,000 of sales revenues and $125,000 of management and
licensing fees in 1999. The increase of $513,000,  or 5.0%, in sales revenues is
the  result of  increased  same  store  sales.  Management  and  licensing  fees
increased  20% to  $150,000 in 2000 from  $125,000  for the same period in 1999.
This resulted  primarily  from the addition of fees from the Universal  CityWalk
Daily Grill, which opened in July 1999.

In  addition  to  the  restaurants  owned  by  the  Company,   which  sales  are
consolidated  and included in the results of  operations  for the  Company,  the
Company  manages four other  restaurants.  Total revenues for all 19 restaurants
owned and managed by the Company were  $13,465,000 and $11,664,000 for the three
months ended March 2000 and 1999  respectively.  This  represents an increase of
$1,801,000 or 15.4%.

Cost of sales  increased  6.9% and increased as a percentage of sales from 27.4%
to 27.8%.  This  increase in cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales during the
2000 period is attributable principally to higher food costs associated with the
San Jose Grill and Beverly Hills Grill  restaurants.  As a result,  dollar gross
profit  increased  4.6% from  $7,472,000  (72.6% of sales) in 1999 to $7,816,000
(72.2% of sales) in 2000.

Restaurant  operating  expenses  increased  5.0%  to  $6,304,000  in  2000  from
$6,002,000 in 1999.  The dollar  increase in restaurant  operating  expenses was
primarily attributable to additional sales in same stores.  However,  restaurant
operating  expenses as a  percentage  of sales  decreased  from 58.3% in 1999 to
58.2% in 2000.

General and administrative expenses decreased 0.4% to represent 7.4% of sales in
the 2000 three month period  while  amounting to 7.8% of sales in the 1999 three
month period.

Depreciation  and amortization  expense remained  constant during the 2000 three
month period representing 2.7% of sales in 2000 and 2.8% of sales in 1999.

All  preopening  costs  incurred  during  this  period  relate to the opening of
Chicago  Grill on the  Alley,  scheduled  for June  2000 and were  fully  funded
through landlord  contributions, and LLC member contributions and were expensed
as incurred.

The three month operations also reflect a net minority  interest in the earnings
of subsidiaries of $33,000 in 2000 and $18,000 in 1999 from the inclusion of the
results  of the San Jose  Grill  L.L.C.  in the 1999  and 2000  periods  and the
Chicago Grill on the Alley for the 2000 three month period.

                                       8

The  Company  incurred  a charge of $9,000  for its  equity in the loss of joint
venture,  which  reflects  the  Company's  50% interest in the Daily Grill Short
Order at Universal Studios CityWalk.

The Company  reported  dividends  on  preferred  stock of $12,500 in each of the
three-month periods ending March 26, 2000 and March 28, 1999.

Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 26, 2000 the Company had negative working capital of $3.4 million and a
cash  balance of $0.7  million  compared  to  negative  working  capital of $3.7
million and a cash balance of $0.4 million at December 26, 1999.

The  favorable  change in working  capital  was  primarily  attributable  to the
operating  profit  during the  period  along with an  increase  in  receivables,
accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease in prepaid expenses.

The  Company's  need  for  capital  resources  has  resulted  from,  and for the
foreseeable  future is  expected to relate  primarily  to, the  construction  of
restaurants.  Historically,  the  Company has funded its  day-to-day  operations
through its operating  cash flow,  while funding growth through a combination of
bank borrowing,  loans from  stockholders/officers,  the sale of Debentures, the
sale of Preferred Stock, the issuance of warrants,  loans and tenant  allowances
from certain of its  landlords  and,  beginning in 1998,  through  joint venture
arrangements. At March 26, 2000, the Company had existing bank borrowing of $1.9
million, a loan from a San Jose Grill L.L.C. member of $0.1 million, an SBA loan
of $0.1 million,  loans from  stockholders/officers  of $0.7 million,  equipment
loans of $0.8  million  and  loans/advances  from a landlord  and others of $0.1
million.

As of May 1, the  Company  had opened no Daily Grill  restaurants  in 2000.  The
Company will open a majority owned hotel-based the Grill restaurant in June 2000
in the Chicago Westin Hotel.  Management  anticipates  that new non-hotel  based
restaurants  will cost between $1 million and $2 million per restaurant to build
and open  depending  upon the location and available  tenant  allowances.  Hotel
based  restaurants  may  involve  remodeling  existing  facilities,  substantial
capital  contributions  from the hotel  operators  and other  factors which will
cause the cost to the Company of opening  such  restaurants  to be less than the
Company's cost to build and open non-hotel based restaurants.

The Company may enter into  investment/loan  arrangements in the future on terms
similar to the San Jose Fairmont Grill and Chicago Westin Grill  arrangements to
provide for the funding of selected  restaurants.  Management  believes that the
Company  has  adequate  resources  on hand and  operating  cash flow to  sustain
operations for at least the following 12 months. In order to fund the opening of
additional  restaurants,  the  Company  will  require,  and  intends  to  raise,
additional capital through  additional bank borrowings,  the issuance of debt or
equity securities, or the formation of additional investment/loan  arrangements,
or a  combination  thereof.  The Company  presently has no  commitments  in that
regard.

Future Accounting Requirements

In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.133,   "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the
fair value of  derivatives  will be recorded each period in current  earnings or
other comprehensive  income,  depending on whether a derivative is designated as
part of a hedge  transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge  transaction.  The
new rules will be  effective  the first  quarter of 2001.  The Company  does not
believe  that the new  standard  will have a  material  impact on the  Company's
financial statements.

Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

In addition to the opening of new restaurants  during 2000, as described  above,
and the various  factors  described in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended  December 26, 1999,  the  following  developments  during the
first half of this year may impact future operating results.

The  Company's  operations  during the last two quarters of 2000 are expected to
reflect the opening of a 60% owned The Grill restaurant in Chicago, Illinois.

The Company continues in its efforts to sell its Pizza Restaurants.

There can be no  assurance  that the Company will be  successful  in opening new
restaurants in accordance with its anticipated opening schedule; that sufficient
capital  resources will be available to fund scheduled  restaurant  openings and
start-up  costs;  that new restaurants  can be operated  profitably;  that hotel
restaurant management services will produce satisfactory cash flow and operating
results to support such operations;  that additional hotels will elect to retain
the Company's hotel restaurant  management services;  that the Pizza Restaurants
can be sold on terms  satisfactory to the Company;  that proceeds,  if any, from
the sale of the Pizza  Restaurants  can be deployed in a manner so as to replace
the cash flows, revenues and operating profits from the Pizza Restaurants.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from  changes in interest  rates on funded
debt. This exposure relates to its  non-revolving  credit and term loan facility
(the  "Credit  Facility").  Borrowings  outstanding  under the  Credit  Facility
totaled $1,848,000 at March 26, 2000.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear
interest at the lender's  reference rate plus 0.25%. A hypothetical  1% interest
rate  change  would not have a  material  impact  on the  Company's  results  of
operations.
