the second quarter of 2000 from 45.6% in the comparable period of
1999.  Cost of food, beverage, prize and merchandise items as a
percentage of restaurant sales decreased to 15.2% in the second
quarter of 2000 from 15.4% in the second quarter of 1999 primarily
due to a decrease in cheese costs and an increase in menu prices.
Store labor expenses as a  percentage of store sales increased  to
27.6% during the second quarter of 2000 compared to 27.3% in the
second quarter of 1999 primarily due to wage increases and new
store staffing.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased  to 14.2% in the second quarter of 2000 from
14.5% in the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to a decrease in
advertising expense as a percentage of revenues.

  Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 6.8% in the second quarter of 2000 from 7.5%
in the second quarter of 1999 primarily due to the increase in
comparable store sales and new restaurants with higher sales volumes.

  Interest expense as a percentage of revenues increased to .7% in
the second quarter of 2000 from .6% in the second quarter of 1999
due primarily to an increase in the amount of long-term debt
outstanding.  Interest expense on incremental debt incurred to
finance assets held for resale has been allocated to the basis of
such assets.

are fixed.

  The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.8% in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to 39.2% in the second quarter of 1999
primarily due to lower estimated state tax rates.

    Revenues increased 16.6% to $260.4 million in the first six

    Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of

Page 9


    Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 6.2% in the first six months of 2000 compared to 6.9%
in the first six months of 1999 primarily due to the increase in
comparable store sales and new restaurants with higher sales volumes.

    Interest expense as a percentage of revenues remained constant
at .6% in both the first six months of 2000 and  the first six
months of 1999.  Interest expense on incremental debt incurred to
finance assets held for resale has been allocated to the basis of
such assets.

    Other operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
----------------------------------------------------

    Cash provided by operations increased to $52.3 million in the
first six months of 2000 from $42.3 million in the comparable
period of 1999.  Cash outflows from investing  activities for the
first six months of 2000 were $39.2 million primarily related to
capital expenditures.  Cash outflows from financing activities for
the first six months of 2000 were $11.7 million primarily related
to the repayment of long-term debt and the repurchase of the
Company's common stock.  The Company's primary requirements for
cash relate to planned capital expenditures, the repurchase of the
Company's common stock and debt service.  The Company expects that
it will satisfy such requirements from cash provided by operations
and, if necessary, funds available under its line of credit.

    In 2000, the Company plans to add 27 to 32 stores including new
stores and acquisitions of existing stores from franchisees.  The
Company currently anticipates its cost of opening such new stores
to average approximately $1.8 million per store which will vary
depending upon many factors including the size of the stores and
whether the store is an in-line or freestanding building.  In
addition to such new store openings, the Company plans to expand
the seating capacity of 17 to 20 high sales volume stores in 2000
including stores which will receive an enhanced showroom package.
 The Company also plans to complete Phase III upgrades in 25 stores
in the second half of the year at an average cost of approximately
$225,000 per store.  A Phase III upgrade generally includes a new
toddler play area, skill games, kiddie games and rides,  sky-tube
enhancements, ticket counters and potentially a ticket banking
system.  During the first six months of 2000, the Company opened 14
new restaurants, expanded 13 restaurants and completed a Phase III
upgrade in one restaurant.  The Company currently estimates that
capital expenditures in 2000, including expenditures for new store
openings, existing store expansions and equipment investments, will
be approximately $86 million. The Company plans to finance these
expenditures through cash flow from operations and borrowings under
the Company's line of credit.

    In 1999, the Company purchased assets previously owned by
Discovery Zone, Inc.   The preliminary allocation of the purchase
price was approximately $7.2 million to property and equipment and
$11.8 million to assets held for resale.  Subsequent to the
purchase, the Company has incurred incremental holding costs of
approximately $2.9 million and realized sale proceeds of $4.3
million related to the assets held for resale.  While the Company
has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation, it is not
expected that the final allocation will be materially different
from the results reflected herein.

    In September 1999, the Company announced a plan to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate purchase price
of up to $25 million.  As of August 14, 2000, the Company has
purchased shares of its common stock under the $25 million plan at
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.9 million.

    In July 2000, the Company entered into a bank agreement that
increases its revolving credit facility to $75 million from $55
million and extends the maturity date to 2003 from 2001.  The
Company's total credit facility of $81 million consists of $6
million in term notes and a $75 million line of credit.  Term notes
totaling $6 million with annual principal payments of $6 million
and annual interest of 10.02% mature in 2001.  Interest under the
$75 million line of credit is dependent on earnings and debt levels
of the Company and ranges from prime or, at the Company's option,
LIBOR plus 1% to 1.75%.  Currently, any borrowings under this line
of credit would be at prime rate or LIBOR plus 1/8%.   As of July
2, 2000, $45.3 million was borrowed under the line of credit.  The
Company is required to comply with certain financial ratio tests
during the terms of the loan agreements.

    The shareholders also approved an amendment to the Non-Employee
Directors  Stock Option Plan ("Director's Plan") extending the term

respect to this proposal to authorize an amendment to the Directors
Plan were as follows:

    The shareholders also approved an amendment to 1997 Non-
Statutory Employee Stock Option Plan ("Employee Plan") providing
that the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under
the Employee Plan would be increased from 2,737,500 to 3,087,500,
and requiring that any amendment to the Employee Plan must be
approved by the shareholders of the Company if the amendment would
(a) materially  increase the aggregate number of shares of stock
which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Employee
Plan, (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Employee Plan, or   materially increase the
benefits accruing to holders of options under the Employee Plan.

    The shareholders also approved an incentive bonus program for
eligible employees of the Company (excluding Field Operators, and
Training and Recruiting managers) to receive a bonus as a
percentage of their gross base salary during a particular fiscal
year ranging from a high of one hundred percent (100%) for the
Chief Executive Officer to a low of two percent (2%) for new
management salaried and hourly employees with less than five (5)
years tenure with the Company.  The incentive bonus program
provides that an employee is eligible to receive one hundred
percent (100%) of his or her bonus potential if the Company
achieves a thirty percent (30%) cash on cash return on capital
expenditures.  The cash on cash return is equal to the fiscal
year's cash flow (income before taxes plus depreciation,
amortization, and pre-opening expenses) minus the prior fiscal
year's cash flow divided by the weighted average increase in
capital expenditures.  The bonus potential for employees will
increase or decrease four percent (4%) for each one percent (1%)
change from a thirty percent (30%) cash on cash return.  However,
no bonuses will be paid if the cash on cash return is less than
twenty percent (20%).  The votes cast with respect to this proposal
to authorize an incentive bonus program for eligible employees of
the Company were as follows:

                  For         Against       Abstain    No Vote
               ----------     -------       -------    -------
