                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION:

Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jerry's Famous
Deli, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements have not been
audited by independent accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in management's opinion, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of
results for any other interim period or for the full year. The December 31, 1995
balance sheet financial statement is derived from audited financial statements
included in the Company's December 31, 1995 Form 10-K.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Management believes that the disclosures included in the
accompanying interim financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the
information not misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K
for the preceding fiscal year.

Organization

         The accompanying financial statements are comprised of the consolidated
(1996) and combined (1995) financial statements ("consolidated statements"),
which consist of Jerry's Famous Deli, Inc. ("JFD--Inc."), a California
corporation; JFD-Encino ("JFD--Encino"), a California limited partnership; and
Pizza By The Pound, dba Jerry's Famous Pizza, a California corporation, which
ceased operations in June 1995. JFD--Inc., JFD--Encino and Jerry's Famous Pizza
operate or operated family oriented, full-service restaurants. These entities
are collectively referred to as "Jerry's Famous Deli, Inc." or the "Company".

         The 1995 financial statements have been presented on a combined basis,
similar to a pooling of interests, due to common ownership and business. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The
combination excludes certain other entities under common ownership or control of
the shareholders, since these entities engage in unrelated business lines and,
in certain instances, have ceased operations.

         JFD--Inc. and JFD--Encino include the operations of Southern California
restaurants located in Studio City, Encino, Marina del Rey, West Hollywood,
Pasadena, which opened February 20, 1996, and Westwood, which opened June 18,
1996.

         A tender offer by Jerry's Deli, L.A., Incorporated, a subsidiary of
JFD--Inc. and the co-general partner of JFD--Encino, to purchase up to 100% of
the outstanding limited partnership units of JFD--Encino, expired April 13,
1996. One of the limited partners, Isaac Starkman, who is also the Chief
Executive Officer and the beneficial controlling shareholder of the Company,
submitted his interest in JFD--Encino which was purchased on May 1, 1996 for
approximately $158,000. This resulted in a change in minority interest to 72.45%
from 80.0%.

         The lease agreement the Company entered into with the lessor/purchaser
of 3.5 acres in Las Vegas, Nevada, , expired on June 11, 1996 due to the
purchaser's inability to obtain financing to complete the acquisition of the
property. Nevertheless, the Company continues to search for a property suitable
for development of a new restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reclassifications

         Certain amounts presented in prior periods financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

2.       INCOME TAXES

         Upon termination of the subchapter S election by the Company on January
11, 1995, deferred income taxes became an asset of the Company and was recorded
in the balance sheet with a corresponding credit to the combined statement of
operations. The estimated deferred tax asset, principally resulting from
temporary differences in the 2.

         Net income per common share for the 1996 three- and six-month periods
are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

         Pro forma net income per common share for the 1995 three- and six-month
periods was calculated using net income and based on, as if, 10,386,250 shares
of common stock were outstanding for all of fiscal year 1995. The pro forma
shares outstanding are based on (i) 7,460,000 shares outstanding for the Company
at December 31, 1994, (ii) 40,000 shares issued on January 9, 1995, per the
terms of a consulting agreement, (iii) 931,250 shares sold through a private
placement which was completed in March 1995 and (iv) an additional 1,955,000
shares sold through an initial public offering in October 1995.

5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On July 1, 1996, the Company completed the purchase of two delicatessen
restaurants operated under the name "Solley's" and located in Woodland Hills and
Sherman Oaks, California. For $2,325,000 the Company purchased certain assets
along with the operation of the restaurants. Also included in the purchase was a
limited five-year covenant not to compete of Sol Zide, one of the sellers and
owner of Solley's Inc.

         The Woodland Hills restaurant consists of approximately 330 seats and
7,000 square feet of leased space with three options to extend the lease for
approximately 1,625 square feet, 800 square feet and 1,200 square feet. The
Company exercised the option to acquire an additional 1,625 square feet
concurrently with the acquisition closing. The Sherman Oaks restaurant consists
of approximately 160 seats and 8,700 square feet of leased restaurant and bakery
space. The Company intends to continue to operate the acquired restaurants as
delicatessen-style restaurants.

         On August 5, 1996, the Company signed an agreement to acquire a
delicatessen in Florida, which has had annual revenues of approximately
$7,800,000. The purchase includes real estate, fixtures and other assets. This
transaction is subject to governmental approvals, financing, environmental and
title clearances as preconditions to closing, which is not expected before
September 9, 1996. This is a forward-looking statement. There are significant
risks that the required approvals, financing and clearances cannot be obtained.

         In August 1996, Congress passed the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, which contains provisions increasing the minimum wage from $4.25 to
$5.15 per hour. The legislation is now awaiting the signature of President
Clinton. The increase in the minimum wage will likely lead to a significant
increase in labor costs, since many of the Company's restaurant employees are
paid the minimum wage.

         CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

         These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations are
presented as if the purchase of assets of Solley's, Inc. ("Solley's") had
occurred as of January 1, 1995 and the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
Sheet is presented as if the purchase of assets had occurred on June 30, 1996,
and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of
Jerry's Famous Deli, Inc. ("JFD") and the Notes thereto, included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In management's
opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the purchase of substantially all
of the assets of Solley's, Inc. with JFD have been made.

         The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations are not
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of Jerry's
Famous Deli, Inc. and Solley's, Inc. would have been for the periods ended, nor
do they purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

(1)      The cash purchase price of $2,543,000 reflected under the JFD long-term
         debt caption "Acquisition deposit in escrow", was allocated to the
         following based on their fair value on the date of acquisition: $25,000
         to inventory: $667,000 to property and equipment; $400,000 for a
         covenant not to compete which will be amortized on a straight-line
         basis over 5 years; $110,000 for deposits to the landlords; and the
         balance to goodwill which will be amortized on a straight-line basis
         over 18 years. Other than the inventory and property and equipment, no
         other assets were acquired. In addition, no debt or other liabilities
         were assumed from Solley's. Since funding for the purchase came from
         the proceeds of JFD's October 1995 Initial Public Offering and earlier
         bank borrowings, reflected under the JFD "Long-term debt and other
         liabilities" caption, no additional debt was incurred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased $1,169,000,
or 17.1%, to $8,002,000 for the 1996 quarter from $6,833,000 for the 1995
quarter. Included in this increase are revenues of over $1,332,000 from the
Pasadena and Westwood restaurants, opened in February and June 1996,
respectively. Offsetting part of this increase 

                                       10
<PAGE>   12
were 1995 revenues of $124,000 from Jerry's Famous Pizza restaurant ("JFD
Pizza"), which closed in June 1995. Revenue for the same four restaurants
operated during both periods decreased slightly, approximately $70,000 or 1.0%.

         Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 1.6 percentage
points to 31.7% from 33.3%. The cost of food, which comprises over 90% of cost
of sales, decreased 2.2 percentage points, as a percentage of revenues, to 28.7%
in the 1996 quarter from 30.9% in the 1995 quarter. Management attributes this
decrease primarily to its continuing program of more effective buying, improved
cost control and better financial liquidity since the Company's October 1995
Public Offering, which has allowed the Company to take advantage of vendor
discounts for prompt or early payments. The 1996 second quarter cost of food 2.2
percentage points decrease declined from the reported 1996 first quarter 2.8
percentage point decrease. A major factor for this decrease was a 45% overall
increase in prices of dairy products which comprise approximately 7% of total
food costs. Other cost of sales increased by 0.6 percentage point, as a
percentage of revenues, in the 1996 second quarter over the 1995 second quarter.
A significant factor in this increase was a 10% increase in liquor prices. As a
result of the net decreased cost of sales, gross profit improved as a percentage
of revenues to 68.3% for 1996 from 66.7% for 1995.

         Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased 2.9 percentage
points to 65.2 % for the 1996 quarter from 62.3% for the 1995 quarter. Major
changes occurred in occupancy and other expenses, general and administrative
expenses and depreciation expenses.

         Operating expenses, which include all restaurant level operating costs,
including, but not limited to, labor, rent, laundry, maintenance, utilities and
repairs, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 0.7 percentage points to 47.1%
in the 1996 quarter from 47.8% in the 1995 quarter. Labor increased slightly to
33.9% from 33.6%. Occupancy expenses decreased 1.0 percentage point to 13.2% for
1996 from 14.2% for 1995 which resulted principally from a $94,000 decline in
rent expense due to the March 1996 purchase of the Company's Marina del Rey
restaurant site and additional revenues in the 1996 quarter from the Pasadena
restaurant which, as an owned property, incurs no rent expense.

         General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
increased 2.7 percentage points to 13.5% in 1996 from 10.8% in 1995.
Contributing 1.9 percentage points of the increase are added costs from becoming
a public company as reflected in total additional expenses of approximately
$163,000 for the services of two public relations companies, preparation of
fiscal yearend reports, audit fees, legal fees and premiums for a new life
insurance policy on the chief executive officer. Also part of the increase was a
performance incentive bonus accrual of $68,000 for three executive officers.

         Depreciation expense increased approximately $115,000, or 0.9
percentage points as a percentage of revenues to 4.6% for the 1996 quarter from
3.7% for the 1995 quarter. Included in the increase is additional depreciation
expense of approximately $75,000 for the Pasadena restaurant, which opened in
February 1996, and $22,000 for Marina del Rey restaurant site, which was
purchased in March 1996.

         The increase in interest income of approximately $31,000 in 1996
primarily represents earnings on the investment of funds received from the
October 1995 Public Offering. Interest expense increased approximately $60,000
principally due to the financing of the Marina del Rey real property purchase in
the 1996 quarter over the 1995 quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Revenues increased $1,709,722, or 12.2%, to $15,736,000 for the 1996
period from $14,026,000 for the 1995 period. The Pasadena and Westwood
restaurants, opened in 1996, contributed approximately $1,970,000 in 1996.
Offsetting part of this increase were 1995 revenues of $236,000 from JFD Pizza,
which closed in June 1995. Revenues for the same four restaurants operated
during both six-month periods decreased approximately $50,000, or 0.4%.

         Income from operations increased approximately $519,000, or 157.2%, to
$849,000 for the 1996 period from $330,000 for the 1995 period, due primarily to
the decrease in food costs, for the reasons described above in the
quarter-to-quarter comparison, and the restaurant discontinuation costs of
$137,000 incurred during the 1995 period. Labor expense, as a percentage of
revenues, increased to 34.2% for 1996 from 33.7% for 1995 primarily due to
higher labor costs for the Pasadena and Westwood restaurants, which is common to
new restaurants during the first few weeks after opening.

         General and administrative expenses increased approximately $292,000,
or 0.5% percentage point as a percentage of revenues. This increase includes
over $210,000 of added costs related to the Company's change from a privately
held to a public company, including the expenses of the Company's first annual
report on Form 10-K, first Annual Report to Shareholders, first Proxy Statement
and first annual meeting and the attendant audit fees, legal fees and 

                                       11
<PAGE>   13
other costs. Further, the Company has incurred approximately $189,000 in
additional labor expense due to the addition of several new positions necessary
to support the Company's expanded restaurant operations, which have grown from
four to eight restaurant since February 1996. The new positions include
restaurant payroll clerks, centralized food procurement personnel, trainers for
new restaurant staff, restaurant start-up and quality control personnel,
catering service personnel and financial reporting personnel. Of the $189,000
increase for the 1996 six months, approximately $57,000 was 1996 first quarter
payroll expense transferred from operating labor.

         Interest income increased approximately $107,000 to $109,000 for the
1996 period from $1,000 for the 1995 period. This increase is primarily due to
earnings on the investment of funds received from the October 1995 Public
Offering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's capital requirements are primarily for the development,
construction and equiping of new restaurants. Generally, the Company leases the
property and extensively remodels the existing building. Each new restaurant
requires between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000 for remodeling and purchasing of
equipment.

         The Company has continued its current plans for expansion with the
acquisition of the two Solley's restaurants and its plans to open its ninth
restaurant, located in Costa Mesa, California, in the first quarter of 1997.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company used additional bank
borrowings of $2,800,000 and proceeds from its public offering to fund the
$2,543,000 cash purchase of the two Solley's restaurants, the approximately
$3,600,000 for construction of and purchase of equipment for the Pasadena and
Westwood restaurants, the $764,000 cash portion of the purchase of the Marina
del Rey restaurant property and $108,000 for the development of future projects.

         The cash and cash equivalents decrease since December 31, 1995 of
approximately $5,752,000 comprises $209,000 provided by operations, $7,473,000
used to purchase property and equipment and other investments and $1,512,000
provided by bank borrowings less other financing activities. The increase in net
property and equipment since December 31, 1995, of approximately $7,589,000
resulted from purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements for $2,043,000,
additions to construction-in-progress for $2,120,000, the purchase of leased
restaurant real property for $4,069,000, less an increase in accumulated
depreciation of $608,000 and other net deductions of $35,000. During the same
six-month period long-term debt increased by approximately $5,680,000, from an
additional long-term bank borrowing of $2,500,000 and from a $3,250,000
collateralized promissory note arising from the purchase of leased restaurant
real property, net of principal payments of approximately $70,000.

         Management believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and
drawings on its bank lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the
completion of the Costa Mesa restaurant and the remodeling of the Woodland Hills
restaurant. In planning for future expansion, primarily the Florida acquisition,
management is investigating other sources of financing, including equity and/or
debt financing. The acquisition in Miami and future growth is dependent on the
Company obtaining additional capital.

RECENT ACQUISITION

         On July 1, 1996, the Company completed the purchase of two delicatessen
restaurants operated under the name "Solley's" and located in Woodland Hills and
Sherman Oaks, California. For $2,325,000 the Company purchased certain assets
along with the operation of the restaurants. Also included in the purchase was a
limited five-year covenant not to compete of Sol Zide, one of the sellers and
owner of Solley's Inc.

         The Woodland Hills restaurant consists of approximately 330 seats and
7,000 square feet of leased space with three options to extend the lease for
approximately 1,625 square feet, 800 square feet and 1,200 square feet. The
Company exercised the option to acquire an additional 1,625 square feet
concurrently with the acquisition closing. The Sherman Oaks restaurant consists
of approximately 160 seats and 8,700 square feet of leased restaurant and bakery
space. The Company intends to continue to operate the acquired restaurants as
delicatessen-style restaurants.

         On a pro forma combined basis, the two Solley's restaurants would have
increased total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 by $7,460,000, or
27%, to $35,490,000 and increased net income by $296,000, or 38%, to $1,078,000,
which would have resulted in a 25% increase in net income per share, to $0.10
per share from $0.08 per share.

                                       12
<PAGE>   14
         However, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenues for the two
Solley's restaurants were down approximately $500,000 from the same period in
1995, which management believes may have been due in part to Solley's
management's focus on the pending sale of the restaurants during that period. As
a result of the decline in revenues for the six month period ended June 30,
1996, the Solley's restaurants reported a net loss from operations of $121,000
(after adjustment for certain expenses which will not be incurred in the future
by the Company), which reduced the pro forma consolidated net income reported to
$290,000 and reduced net income per share to $0.03 per share from $0.04 per
share. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the Company and
Solley's are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
of the Company would have been, had the acquisition been completed as of January
1, 1995, nor are they necessarily indicative of what the actual results of
operations of the Company will be in future periods.

         The Company has applied for the permits necessary to change the
Woodland Hills restaurant to a Jerry's Famous Deli. Once those permits are
obtained, that restaurant will be closed for approximately two months for
refurbishment, which management expects will have a negative impact on total
revenues for the fourth quarter of 1996. When the restaurant is reopened,
however, it will have increased seating capacity and longer hours of operation,
which management anticipates will increase revenues from the Woodland Hills
restaurant from its historical revenues as a Solley's restaurant.

         The Company has no current plans to change the format or operating
hours of the Sherman Oaks Solley's restaurant, which historically has had higher
revenues than the Woodland Hills Solley's restaurant, even though the seating
capacity of the Sherman Oaks restaurant is smaller than the Woodland Hills
restaurant.

         The Company has already begun to use the bakery acquired from Solley's
to supply freshly baked bread to all of the Jerry's Famous Deli restaurants. In
addition, the Company has hired the former owner and chief baker of the popular
Weby's Bakery in Studio City, as head baker for the Jerry's bakery.

         Management believes that the implementation of its plans for the
expansion of the Woodland Hills restaurant and the change in the format of that
restaurant to a Jerry's Famous Deli, as well as the expansion and improvement of
the bakery acquired from Solley's, will result in an increase in revenues at
both facilities. However, these are forward looking statements and there are
significant risks that revenues of the acquired restaurants and bakery will not
increase as management anticipates due to a number of factors, including all of
the risks generally attendant to the restaurant business.
