Noncash investing and financing activities:  During the first six periods of
2000, notes receivable from employees resulting from the issuance of stock
during 1999 were reduced by distributions of $67,938 paid on these units, and
by $27,902 charged to compensation expense.  Notes receivable from employees
were also reduced by $47,706 as a result of the Partnership buying back the
units of employees who terminated their employment.  The terminated employees'
stock proceeds were reduced by their notes receivable balance.

               AMERICAN RESTAURANT PARTNERS, L.P.

      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Six Periods Ended June 27, 2000 and June 29, 1999


1.  General
    -------

The   accompanying  consolidated  condensed  financial   statements
include the accounts of American Restaurant Partners, L.P. and  its
majority  owned subsidiaries, American Pizza Partners, L.P.  (APP),
APP  Concepts,  LLC  and  Oklahoma Magic,  L.P.  (Magic).  American
Restaurant  Partners, L.P., APP, APP Concepts, LLC  and  Magic  are
hereinafter  collectively  referred to  as  the  Partnership.   All
significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have   been
eliminated.  The  consolidated condensed financial statements  have
been prepared without audit. The Balance Sheet at December 28, 1999
has   been   derived  from  the  Partnership's  audited   financial
statements.   In  the opinion of management, all adjustments  of  a
normal  and  recurring  nature  which  are  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation of such financial statements have been included. These
statements  should  be  read in conjunction with  the  consolidated
financial  statements  and  notes contained  in  the  Partnership's
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
28, 1999.

The  results  of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative  of the results for the full year. The Partnership  does
not  experience  significant seasonality but sales continue  to  be
largely driven through advertising and promotion.


2.  Subsequent Events
    -----------------

Distribution to Partners
------------------------
On  June 30, 2000 the Partnership declared a distribution of  $0.10
per  unit  to all unitholders of record as of July 12,  2000.   The
distribution  is  not reflected in the June 27,  2000  consolidated
condensed financial statements.

Purchase of Partnership Interest
--------------------------------

On  July 26, 2000, American Pizza Partners, L.P. purchased  39%  of
Oklahoma Magic, L.P. from Restaurant Management Company of Wichita,
Inc.  for $3,200,000 (Purchase Price).  The Purchase Price includes
$2,500,000 cash financed by Intrust Bank over five years  at  9.5%.
The  remaining balance of the Purchase Price will become due in the
event  that  Magic's cash flow (determined on a 12  month  trailing
basis) exceeds $2.6 million at any time between January 1, 2001 and
December  31,  2005.  Payment of the remaining  balance   shall  be
made in  Class B  and  Class C  Units of  the Partnership.   In the
event  that  Magic's cash flow does  not  reach this cash flow goal
on or  prior to December  31, 2005, APP  shall  owe  no  additional
consideration and  the Purchase  Price will be reduced accordingly.
Upon completion of this purchase, the Partnership owns 99% of Magic.

statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  the   2000
presentation.





             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

As  of June 27, 2000, the Partnership operated 70 traditional Pizza
Hut  red  roof  restaurants, 14 delivery/carryout units  and  three
dualbrand locations.

Three Periods Ended June 27, 2000 Compared to
---------------------------------------------
Three Periods Ended June 29, 1999
---------------------------------

NET  SALES.   Net sales for the three periods ended June  27,  2000
increased  $356,000 from net sales of $14,334,000 in  1999  to  net
sales   of  $14,690,000  for  2000,  a  2.5%  increase.  Comparable
restaurant  sales increased 4.1% over the second  quarter  of  1999
when  the  Partnership  experienced a 7.2% increase  in  comparable
restaurant sales primarily due to the success of the Big New Yorker
Pizza  which  was  introduced in early  1999.   The  stronger  than
expected  sales  results  in 2000 were achieved  primarily  through
continued improvement in restaurant operations.

INCOME  FROM  OPERATIONS.   Income from operations  for  the  three
periods  ended June 27, 2000 increased $121,000 from $1,120,000  to
$1,241,000, a 10.8% increase over the same three periods  of  1999.
As a percentage of net sales, income from operations increased from
7.8%  for  the  three periods ended June 29, 1999 to 8.4%  for  the
three  periods ended June 27, 2000.  Cost of sales decreased  as  a
percentage of net sales from 25.6% for the three periods ended June
29, 1999 to 24.3% for the three periods ended June 27, 2000 due  to
lower  cheese  costs.  Labor and benefits expense  decreased  as  a
percentage  of  net  sales from 29.5% in 1999  to  29.0%  in  2000.
Advertising  increased slightly as a percentage of net  sales  from
6.6%  of  net  sales in 1999 to 6.8% of net sales in  2000.   Other
restaurant  operating expenses amounted to 19.0% of  net  sales  in
2000  compared  to  18.3% of net sales in 1999.  This  increase  is
primarily  the  result  of  increased  reimbursements  to  delivery
drivers  and  an  increase  in equipment rental.   Delivery  driver
reimbursements  have increased due to competition to  hire  drivers
and  higher  gas  prices during second quarter.  In  addition,  the
Partnership  is  leasing  new  point-of-sale  terminals  which  are
currently   being  installed  in  all  of  its  restaurants.    The
installations  are  scheduled  to be  completed  during  the  third
quarter.   General and administrative expenses increased from  7.7%
of  net  sales  in  1999 to 8.2% of net sales  in  2000  reflecting
increased bonuses paid on improved operating results.  Depreciation
and  amortization expense decreased from 4.5% of net sales in  1999
to 4.2% of net sales in 2000.

NET  EARNINGS.   Net earnings increased $128,000 to net  income  of
$445,000 for the three periods ended June 27, 2000 compared to  net
income of $318,000 for the three periods ended June 29, 1999.  This
increase  is attributable to the increase in income from operations
noted  above  and a $70,000 decrease in net interest expense.   The
increase was partially offset by a $30,000 loss from investment  in
unconsolidated  affiliates  and  a  $33,000  increase  in  minority
interest in income of Operating Partnerships.

Six Periods Ended June 27, 2000 Compared to
-------------------------------------------
Six Periods Ended June 29, 1999
-------------------------------

NET  SALES.   Net  sales for the six periods ended  June  27,  2000
increased  $714,000 from net sales of $28,776,000 in  1999  to  net
sales   of  $29,490,000  for  2000,  a  2.5%  increase.  Comparable
restaurant  sales  increased 4.1% over  the  prior  year  when  the
Partnership  experienced a 7.7% increase in  comparable  restaurant
sales  primarily  due to the  success of the Big New  Yorker  Pizza
which  was  introduced in early 1999.  The stronger  than  expected
sales  results  in  2000 were achieved primarily through  continued
improvement in restaurant operations.


INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  Income from operations for the six periods
ended   June  27,  2000  increased  $525,000  from  $2,071,000   to
$2,596,000, a 25.3% increase over the same six periods of 1999.  As
a  percentage  of net sales, income from operations increased  from
7.2%  for the six periods ended June 29, 1999 to 8.8% for  the  six
periods  ended  June  27,  2000.  Cost  of  sales  decreased  as  a
percentage  of net sales from 26.6% for the six periods ended  June
29,  1999 to 24.4% for the six periods ended June 27, 2000  due  to
lower  cheese  costs.  Labor and benefits expense  decreased  as  a
percentage  of  net  sales from 29.5% in 1999  to  29.0%  in  2000.
Advertising  increased slightly as a percentage of net  sales  from
6.6%  of  net  sales in 1999 to 6.7% of net sales in  2000.   Other
restaurant  operating expenses amounted to 18.9% of  net  sales  in
2000  compared  to  18.4% of net sales in 1999.  This  increase  is
primarily  the  result of an increase in equipment  rental  as  the
Partnership  is  leasing  new  point-of-sale  terminals  which  are
currently  being installed in all of its restaurants.  General  and
administrative expenses increased from 7.5% of net sales in 1999 to
8.0%  of  net  sales in 2000 reflecting increased bonuses  paid  on
improved operating results.  Depreciation and amortization  expense
remained at 4.2% of net sales for both years.

NET  EARNINGS.   Net earnings increased $376,000 to net  income  of
$882,000  for the six periods ended June 27, 2000 compared  to  net
income  of  $506,000 for the six periods ended June 29, 1999.  This
increase  is attributable to the increase in income from operations
noted  above and a $131,000 decrease in net interest expense.   The
increase was partially offset by a $117,000 loss from investment in
unconsolidated  affiliates  and  a $163,000  increase  in  minority
interest in income of Operating Partnerships.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

At  June  27, 2000 the Partnership had a working capital deficiency
of   $5,110,000  compared  to  a  working  capital  deficiency   of
$5,543,000 at December 28, 1999.  This decrease in working  capital
deficiency is primarily a result of a $967,000 decrease in accounts
payable which was partially offset by a $281,000 decrease in  cash.
The  Partnership routinely operates with a negative working capital
position  which  is  common in the restaurant  industry  and  which
results  from the cash sales nature of the restaurant business  and
payment terms with vendors.

The  Partnership generates its principal source of funds  from  net
cash provided by operating activities. Management believes net cash
provided  by  operating  activities and various  other  sources  of
income  will  provide  sufficient funds  to  meet  planned  capital
expenditures  for  recurring replacement of equipment  in  existing
restaurants and to service debt obligations.

NET  CASH  PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  For the  six  periods
ended  June  27,  2000,  net cash provided by operating  activities
amounted  to $1,731,000 compared to $1,785,000 for the six  periods
ended  June  29, 1999.  This decrease from prior year is  primarily
the  result of a decrease in accounts payable of $967,000  in  2000
compared to a decrease of only $258,000 in 1999.  This decrease  in
accounts  payable  more  than offsets the  2000  increases  in  net
income,  equity in loss of investment in unconsolidated  affiliates
and minority interests in income of Operating Partnerships.

INVESTING   ACTIVITIES.    Property  and   equipment   expenditures
represent  the  largest  investing  activity  by  the  Partnership.
Capital  expenditures for the six periods ended June 27, 2000  were
$367,000 for replacement of equipment in existing restaurants.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  Cash distributions declared during  the  six
periods  ended June 27, 2000 were $695,000 amounting to  $0.20  per
unit.  The Partnership's distribution objective, generally,  is  to
distribute   all   operating  revenues  less   operating   expenses
(excluding  noncash  items such as depreciation and  amortization),
capital   expenditures  for  existing  restaurants,  interest   and
principal  payments on Partnership debt, and such cash reserves  as
the managing General Partner may deem appropriate.

During  the  six  periods  ended June 27, 2000,  the  Partnership's
proceeds  from borrowings amounted to $2,624,000 all of  which  was
used  to  refinance existing debt.  The financing costs related  to
this  refinancing are being amortized over the terms  of  the  loan
agreements.  Management anticipates spending an additional $331,000
during the remainder of 2000 for recurring replacement of equipment
in  existing  restaurants  which will be  financed  from  net  cash
provided  by  operating activities.  The actual level  of   capital
expenditures  may  be higher in the  event of unforeseen breakdowns
of  equipment or  lower  in the event of  inadequate  net cash flow
from operating activities.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
--------------------

The   Partnership  did  not  incur  any  problems  with  Year  2000
compliance.  Management is continuing to monitor Year 2000  issues.
The  Partnership does not anticipate any problems  with  Year  2000
compliance in the future.

OTHER MATTERS
-------------

On  July 26, 2000, American Pizza Partners, L.P. purchased  39%  of
Oklahoma Magic, L.P. from Restaurant Management Company of Wichita,
Inc.  for $3,200,000 (Purchase Price).  The Purchase Price includes
$2,500,000 cash financed by Intrust Bank over five years  at  9.5%.
The  remaining balance of the Purchase Price will become due in the
event  that  Magic's cash flow (determined on a 12  month  trailing
basis) exceeds $2.6 million at any time between January 1, 2001 and
December 31, 2005.  Payment of the remaining balance shall be  made
in Class B and Class C Units of the Partnership.  In the event that
Magic's cash flow does not reach this cash flow goal on or prior to
December  31,  2005, APP shall owe no additional consideration  and
the Purchase Price will be reduced accordingly.  Upon completion of
this purchase, the Partnership owns 99% of Magic.

The  Partnership's  major distributor, AmeriServe,  has  filed  for
protection  under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.   Tricon,
the Unified Foodservice Purchasing Coop, and key representatives of
the  Tricon franchise community are working together to ensure  the
availability of supplies to Tricon's restaurant system  during  the
bankruptcy proceedings.  Although the Partnership believes that  an
alternate distributor or distributors could be obtained to meet the
needs of its restaurants (should it become necessary), it cannot be
certain  that  the  costs  would be at  the  same  rates  that  the
Partnership currently pays AmeriServe nor can it be certain that  a
disruption  of  services  will  not occur  during  the  process  of
obtaining an alternate distributor or distributors.  At this  time,
management cannot reliably estimate the impact upon cost of  sales,
if any, related to this situation.

The Partnership delisted from the American Stock Exchange effective
November  13, 1997 and limited trading of its units.  As a  result,
the  Partnership will continue to be taxed as a partnership  rather
than  being taxed as a corporation.  The Partnership does  offer  a
Qualified  Matching  Service, whereby the  Partnership  will  match
persons desiring to buy units with persons desiring to sell units.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
---------------------------------------

Inflationary  factors  such as increases in food  and  labor  costs
directly affect the Partnership's operations.  Because most of  the
Partnership's  employees are paid on an hourly  basis,  changes  in
rates related to federal and state minimum wage and tip credit laws
will  effect the Partnership's labor costs.  The Partnership cannot
always effect immediate price increases to offset higher costs  and
no  assurance can be given the Partnership will be able to do so in
the future.

The  Partnership's  earnings are affected by  changes  in  interest
rates  primarily from its long-term debt arrangements.   Under  its
current  policies,  the  Partnership does  not  use  interest  rate
derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.
A  hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move (increase) in interest
rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would increase the
Partnership's  interest expense and decrease net income  by  $3,500
over  the term of the related debt.  This amount was determined  by
considering  the impact of the hypothetical interest rates  on  the
Partnership's borrowing cost.  These analyses do not  consider  the
effects  of  the  reduced level of overall economic  activity  that
could exist in such an environment.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within  the
meaning  of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section  21E  of
the  Exchange  Act  which are intended to be covered  by  the  safe
harbors  created thereby.  Although the Partnership  believes  that
the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained
herein  are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate,
and  therefore,  there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements  included  in this report will  prove  to  be  accurate.
Factors  that could cause actual results to differ from the results
discussed  in the forward-looking statements include, but  are  not
limited to, consumer demand and market acceptance risk, the  effect
of  economic conditions, including interest rate fluctuations,  the
impact   of  competing  restaurants  and  concepts,  the  cost   of
commodities and other food products, labor shortages and costs  and
other  risks detailed in the Partnership's Securities and  Exchange
Commission filings.
