                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         FOR THE TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED
                         JUNE 29, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996


NOTE 1 --          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                   The preceding data is unaudited but, in the opinion of
                   management, includes all adjustments (consisting of normal
                   recurring accruals and deferrals) that management considers
                   necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
                   results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
                   presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
                   principles and practices consistently applied.

                   The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended June
                   29, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
                   the results that may be expected for the entire year, because
                   the Company's business is subject to seasonal influences.

NOTE 2 --          NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

                   In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
                   Number 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") was issued.
                   SFAS 128, which revises the traditional computation,
                   presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per
                   share, is effective for financial statements issued for
                   periods ending after December 15, 1997. Adoption of SFAS 128
                   would not have a material impact on the Company's reported
                   earnings per share.

                   In June 1997 the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting
                   Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for
                   reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
                   components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full
                   set of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement
                   requires that all items that are required to be recognized
                   under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
                   income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
                   with the same prominence as other financial statements. This
                   Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
                   December 15, 1997. Management does not believe the
                   implementation of this Statement will have any significant
                   effect on the Company's financial statements.

                   In June 1997 the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures
                   about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
                   which establishes standards for the way public enterprises
                   report information about operating segments in annual
                   financial statements and requires that those enterprises
                   report selected information about operating segments in
                   interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
                   establishes standards for related disclosures about products
                   and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This
                   Statement requires that a public business enterprise report
                   financial and descriptive information about its reportable
                   operating segments, which are components of an enterprise
                   about which separate financial information is available that
                   is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker
                   in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
                   performance. This Statement is effective for financial
                   statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.
                   Management is evaluating this Statement to determine what
                   information will be required to be disclosed.

SALES


     Sales increased by $1,957,000, or 8.8%, to $24,122,000 in the thirteen week
period ended June 29, 1997, from $22,165,000 in the same period in 1996. Same
store sales decreased $323,000, or 1.5%, in the thirteen week period ended June
29, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.

     The overall increase in sales in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997
compared to the same period in 1996 was principally due to two new restaurants
which opened subsequent to June 30, 1996. The increase in sales from new stores
was approximately $2,487,000. This amount was partially offset by one store
which closed in June 1997. The decrease in sales from the closed store was
approximately $130,000.

     The Company operated 34 restaurants at June 29, 1997, up from 33
restaurants at June 30, 1996. Total restaurant customer count for the thirteen
weeks ended June 29, 1997 increased 5.6% to 1,358,000 from 1,286,000 in the
comparable period in 1996.

COST OF SALES

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.7% in the thirteen
week period ended June 29, 1997, from 28.5% in the same period in 1996. This
decrease was attributable to a 0.7% decrease in food cost as a percentage of
food revenue (29.6% in the 1997 period versus 30.3% in the 1996 period), and a
0.8% decrease in beverage cost as a percentage of beverage revenue (22.8% in the
1997 period versus 23.6% in the 1996 period). The food cost decreases were due
principally to price decreases in olive oil and pasta. The beverage cost
decreases were due principally to modest sales prices increases in selected
wines.

PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS

     Payroll and related costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 31.4% in
the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997, from 31.9% in the same period in 1996.
Payroll and related costs increased by $510,000 in the thirteen weeks ended June
29, 1997, to $7,569,000 from $7,059,000 in the same period in 1996. The increase
in dollars is primarily attributable to the Company having payroll for two new
restaurants which opened subsequent to June 30, 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES

     Operating expenses increased by $367,000 in the thirteen weeks ended June
29, 1997 to $5,430,000 from $5,063,000 in the same period in 1996. The increase
in operating expenses is primarily attributable to two new restaurants which
opened subsequent to June 30, 1996.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $108,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended June 29, 1997 to $1,042,000 from $934,000 in the same period in 1996. The
increase is principally attributable to two new restaurants which opened
subsequent to June 30, 1996. Included in the 1997 amortization is the
amortization of pre-opening costs of new restaurants opened during the prior
12-month period. The Company amortizes such pre-opening costs over the 12-month
period immediately following an opening or conversion.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $74,000 in the thirteen
weeks ended June 29, 1997 to $2,274,000 from $2,348,000 in the same period in
1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in insurance expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense decreased by $15,000 in the thirteen weeks ended June 29,
1997 to $166,000 from $181,000 in the same period in 1996. This decrease was
attributable to the Company having less borrowings at June 29, 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes increased by $253,000 in the thirteen weeks ended June 29,
1997 to $354,000 from $101,000 in the same period in 1996. The increased expense
in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 reflects the pre-tax income of
$956,000 as compared to the pre-tax income of $274,000 for the same period in
1996. The estimated effective tax rate was 37% for both periods.

SALES

     Sales increased by $3,370,000, or 7.9%, to $46,018,000 in the twenty-six
week period ended June 29, 1997, from $42,648,000 in the same period in 1996.
Same store sales decreased $308,000, or 0.7%, in the twenty-six week period
ended June 29, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.

     The overall increase in sales in the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1997,
compared to the same period in 1996 was primarily attributable to sales from new
stores, which contributed $3,864,000. This amount was partially offset by one
store which closed in June 1997. The decrease in sales from the closed store was
approximately $130,000.

     The Company operated 34 restaurants at June 29, 1997, up from 33
restaurants at June 30, 1996. Total restaurant customer count for the twenty-six
weeks ended June 29, 1997 increased 5.0% to 2,588,000 from 2,465,000 in the
comparable period in 1996.

COST OF SALES

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.8% in the twenty-six
week period ended June 29, 1997, from 28.4% in the same period in 1996. This
decrease was attributable to a 0.7% decrease in food cost as a percentage of
food revenue (29.5% in the 1997 period versus 30.2% in the 1996 period), and a
0.6% decrease in beverage cost as a percentage of beverage revenue (23.1% in the
1997 period versus 23.7% in the 1996 period). The food cost decreases were due
principally to price decreases in olive oil, pasta and produce items. The
beverage cost decreases were due principally to modest sales price increases in
selected wines.

PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS

     Payroll and related costs as a percentage of sales decreased to 32.5% in
the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1997, from 32.6% in the same period in 1996.
Payroll and related costs increased by $1,085,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended
June 29, 1997, to $14,945,000 from $13,860,000 in the same period in 1996. The
increase in dollars is the result of the Company having payroll for two new
restaurants.

OPERATING EXPENSES

     Operating expenses increased by $684,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended June
29, 1997 to $10,712,000 from $10,028,000 in the same period in 1996. The
increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the Company opening
two new restaurants.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $104,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29, 1997 to $1,994,000 from $1,890,000 in the same period in 1996.
The increase is principally attributable to two new restaurants which opened
subsequent to June 30, 1996. Included in the 1997 and 1996 amortization is the
amortization of pre-opening costs of new restaurants opened during the prior
12-month period. The Company amortizes such pre-opening costs over the 12-month
period immediately following an opening or conversion.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $154,000 in the twenty-six
weeks ended June 29, 1997 to $4,440,000 from $4,594,000 in the same period in
1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in insurance expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense decreased by $58,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended June
29, 1997 to $331,000 from $389,000 in the same period in 1996. This decrease was
attributable to the Company having less borrowings at June 29, 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996.

INCOME TAXES

       Income taxes increased by $391,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended June 29,
1997 to an expense of $302,000 from a benefit of $89,000 in the same period in
1996. The increased expense in the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1997 reflects
the pre-tax income of $816,000 as compared to the pre-tax loss of $240,000 for
the same period in 1996. The estimated effective tax rate was 37% for both
periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company, similar to many restaurant businesses, requires little or no
working capital because it does not have significant inventory or trade
receivables and receives several weeks of trade credit in purchasing food and
supplies. At June 29, 1997, the Company's cash position was $1,920,000 and the
Company had a net working capital deficit of $6,840,000.

     The Company requires capital primarily for the development and construction
of new restaurants and the conversion of existing restaurants. In recent years,
the Company's primary sources of capital have been cash flow from its
operations, borrowings and landlord contributions to restaurant construction
costs. The Company intends to be very selective in its approval of sites for new
units and will be limiting the number of restaurant openings in 1997. The
Company expects to fund any capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 from
internally generated cash. The Company believes that cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to meet future needs.
