                     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                     (Unaudited)


                                    April 26, 1998


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
          10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
          include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
          accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
          the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
          recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
          been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended
          April 26, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
          be expected for the year ended January 31, 1999.  For further
          information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
          footnotes thereto included in the Company's 10-K and Annual Report to
          Stockholders as filed on April 23, 1998.

(2)  NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
          Earnings Per Share (Statement 128) which replaces the prior accounting
          standard regarding computation and presentation of earnings per share.
          Statement 128 requires a dual presentation of basic earnings per share
          (based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding)
          and diluted earnings per share which reflects the potential dilution
          that could occur if contracts to issue securities (such as stock
          options) were exercised.  The Company adopted Statement 128 as of
          January 25, 1998 and, accordingly, earnings per share data for all
          periods presented has been computed in accordance with Statement 128.
          The adoption of Statement 128 had no impact on the Company's
          previously reported loss per share data.

     Options to purchase common stock were not included in the computation of
          diluted earnings (loss) per common share because the Company's net
          earnings for the three month period ended April 26, 1998 were nil and
          the Company had a net loss for the three month period ended April 27,
          1997 and the inclusion of such options would be antidilutive.  As of
          April 26, 1998, there are 1,273,613 options outstanding at a weighted
          average exercise price of $2.11 which may become dilutive in the
          future.

(3)  ACQUISITION OF INTEREST IN COMMON CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARY
     Effective February 23, 1998, the Company purchased the remaining shares of
     AMG, Inc., a common controlled subsidiary, by issuing 450,000 chares of
     the Company's common stock in a transaction accounted for as a
     combination of entities under common control.

     The interest in AMG, Inc. acquired by the Company had no book value.
          Accordingly, the fair value of the Company's common stock of
          $1,327,500 was recorded, and a corresponding deemed dividend was
          recognized as a reduction to stockholders' equity (deficit).  The pro
          forma effects of such tranaction was not significant.

(4)  LIQUIDITY
     At April 26, 1998, the Company had current liabilities in excess of current
          assets of $2,172,342 and a stockholders' deficit of $546,403.  The
          Company reported net earnings of $6,095 and cash flow from operations
          of $266,835 for the three month period ended April 26, 1998.

                                       5

<PAGE>

(4)  LIQUIDITY CONTINUED
     Management believes the Amarillo Grill restaurants opened in fiscal 1998
          and an additional Amarillo Grill restaurant opened in the first
          quarter of fiscal 1999 will generate sufficiently increased cash flow
          from operations which, together with continuing trade payable
          financing at current levels, will enable the company to meet its
          financial obligations in fiscal 1999 as they come due.  The Company
          has no additional borrowing capacity under its existing loan
          agreements.  In the event operating cash flow, including a
          continuation of the current level of trade payable financing, is not
          sufficient to enable the Company to meet its financial obligations in
          fiscal 1999, an individual who is a major stockholder and director of
          the Company has committed to provide up to $1,000,000 of additional
          capital or guarantees of additional indebtedness on behalf of the
          Company.

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

GENERAL

     Over the past eighteen months the Company has taken major steps toward
reorganizing and changing the direction  of the Company in terms of moving away
from fast food restaurants and towards full service restaurants which generate
higher sales with a lower gross margin and operating expenses.  Due to
differences in volume and the nature of the business the operating results,
expressed as percentage of sales, can be substantially different for fast food
restaurants as compared to a full service restaurant.

     For the current quarter ended April 26, 1998, the Company began the quarter
with eleven Amarillo Mesquite Grills and two Cotton Patch Cafes.  During the
quarter the Company opened one new Amarillo Mesquite Grill and closed one Cotton
Patch Cafe which will be converted to an Amarillo Mesquite Grill.

     For the prior year quarter ended April 27, 1997, the Company began the
quarter with five Amarillo Mesquite Grills, eight Grandy's restaurants and five
Cotton Patch Cafes.  During the quarter, the Company sold its eight Grandy's
restaurants, converted one Cotton Patch Cafe to an Amarillo Mesquite Grill and
opened one additional Amarillo Mesquite Grill.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended April 26, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended April 27, 1997.

    For the three months ended April 26, 1998, sales increased 39.2% to
$5,431,041 as compared to sales of $3,902,648 for the first quarter of the prior
year.  As of April 26, 1998, the Company operated twelve Amarillo Mesquite
Grills and one Cotton Patch Cafe as compared to seven Amarillo Mesquite Grills
and four Cotton Patch Cafes as of April 27, 1997.

     Cost of sales, as a percentage of total sales, was 37.9% and 36.5% for the
1998 and 1997 periods respectively.  The increase in cost of sales, as a
percentage of total sales, is the result of a change in direction by the Company
from fast food restaurants such as our Grandy's which historically have had a
31.0% cost of sales to an upscale, full service restaurant concept, Amarillo
Mesquite Grill, which has a higher cost of sales.

     Operating expenses, as a percentage of total sales, were 47.0% and 56.3%
for the 1998 and 1997 periods respectively.  The decrease in operating expense,
as a percentage of total sales, is the result of operating more Amarillo
Mesquite Grills which have higher sales volume and lower operating costs than
the Grandy's restaurants which were sold during the first quarter of last year.

     General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 7.6% for
the quarter ended April 26, 1998, as compared to 11.6% for the first quarter of
the prior year.  The decrease in general and administrative, as a percentage of
total sales, is the result of substantially increasing sales while maintaining
or reducing the dollar amount of general and administrative expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization is directly related to the acquisition and
disposition of fixed assets.  The increase in depreciation and amortization from
1997 to 1998 is the result of operating more restaurants with a greater
investment.

    Interest expense was $159,126 for the quarter ended April 26, 1998 as
compared to $94,358 for the same period a year ago.  The increase in the dollar
amount of interest expense from first quarter 1997 to first quarter 1998 is the
result of an increase in long-term debt relating to new store development.

   The Company incurred noncash expenses of $24,460 for the 1998 and 1997
periods respectively, relating to the issuance of stock options pursuant to debt
guarantees.

<PAGE>

     During the quarter ended April 27, 1997, the Company sold to Red Apple
Corporation all of the assets of eight Grandy's restaurants previously owned and
operated by the Company.  The Company received cash of $435,000 and recognized a
gain of $249,536 in the transaction.  Red Apple Corporation, which is owned by
five individuals, three of which are officers and directors of the Company and
one of which is a significant stockholder of the Company, also assumed the 
obligations under the existing leases of each of the restaurants.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of funding to finance its business have been
its cash flow from operations, and proceeds principally from long term debt.  On
April 26, 1998 and January 25, 1998, the Company had an excess of current
liabilities over current assets of $2,172,342 and $2,233,624, respectively.
Management anticipates being able to sustain the current level of trade payable
financing and higher cash flow from operations in fiscal 1999 and that such
higher operating cash flow will enable the Company to meet its financial
obligations in fiscal 1999 as they come due.  The Company has no remaining
available borrowing capacity under its existing loan agreements.  Cash flow from
operations was $266,835 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to cash
used of $236,533 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  In the event operating
cash flow is not sufficient to enable the Company to meets its financial
obligations in fiscal 1999, an individual who is a major stockholder and
director of the Company has committed to provide up to $1,000,000 of additional
capital or guarantees of additional indebtedness on behalf of the Company.

     Substantially, all of the Company's revenues are derived from cash sales.
The Company does not maintain significant receivables and inventories;
therefore, working capital requirements for operations are not significant.

     Additions to property and equipment represent the single largest use of
funds by the Company.   The expenditures are primarily made for the purchase and
development of new restaurants.  Cash expended for capital expenditures was
$400,136 for the three months ended April 26, 1998, compared to $784,039 for the
three months ended April 27, 1997.  These expenditures were funded primarily
with cash flow from operations and proceeds from long-term debt for the quarter
ended April 26, 1998, and proceeds from short-term debt for the quarter ended
April 27, 1997.

     The Company plans to continue expansion of the Amarillo Mesquite Grill
concept in fiscal 1999.  The Company intends to lease existing restaurant
properties which are suitable for conversion to the Amarillo Mesquite Grill
concept.  It is expected that each conversion will require approximately
$300,000 to $500,000 for equipment and remodel costs.  A ground-up proto-type
restaurant will cost approximately $1.7 million for the land, building and
equipment.  The Company is holding discussions with an investment banking firm
regarding a private placement of convertible securities which would enable the
Company to open approximately eight to ten new Amarillo Grill restaurants.  The
company has no commitments for financing at this time.  In order for the Company
to meet its expansion goals for fiscal 1999, it will need to raise additional
funds through debt or equity instruments, the availability and terms of which
will depend upon market and other conditions.  There can be no assurance that
such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

     This report contains certain forward-looking statements, including those
relating to the opening of additional restaurants and planned capital
expenditures.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, actual results could
differ materially from such forward-looking statements.  In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company that objectives and plans of the Company will be
achieved.
