MRS. FIELDS' ORIGINAL COOKIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        (Unaudited)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Mrs. Fields' Original Cookies, Inc. and subsidiaries
("Mrs. Fields" or the "Company") in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Mrs. Fields as of September 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001 contained in Mrs. Fields' Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The
results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year
ending December 28, 2002. Loss per share information is not presented as Mrs. Fields is wholly owned by Mrs. Fields' Holding Company, Inc. ("Mrs. Fields' Holding")
and, therefore, its shares are not publicly traded. Mrs. Fields' Holding is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, Inc., ("Famous Brands").

(2) RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period's presentation.

(3) WAL-MART RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Based upon historical and current operating trends of the Wal-Mart locations, and to eliminate future operational losses from these locations,
management determined to close the Company's stores located within Wal-Mart. The Company negotiated a release from these locations from Wal-Mart effective September 28,
2002. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the
write-off of the leasehold improvements and store assets located within Wal-Mart. In addition the Company incurred exit costs of $518,000 associated with loss of inventory and
other costs. The Company has no further obligations for these store locations. Management does not anticipate any further costs or charges related to these locations in the future.

(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is party to various related party transactions with its parent company, Mrs. Fields' Holding, and with TCBY Holding Company, Inc. and
its subsidiaries ("TCBY"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Famous Brands. The intercompany balance due to Mrs. Fields' Holding is principally the amount due under an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement entered into on December 29, 2001 for the assignment of 20 Pretzel Time stores formerly owned and operated by Mrs. Fields' Holding.

Amounts
receivable from TCBY primarily represent amounts receivable under a management agreement, with the retention amount receivable classified as long-term, and amounts
receivable under a license agreement with TCBY for the sale and distribution by TCBY of Mrs. Fields branded premium ice cream.

Amounts
due to Riverport Equipment and Distribution Company ("Riverport"), a subsidiary of TCBY, are for purchases of supplies and equipment used in the Company owned and operated
stores.

Amounts
due to/from affiliates and the Company's minority owned subsidiary as of September 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001 are as follows (in thousands):

(5) STORE CLOSURE RESERVE

The Company's management reviews the historical and projected operating performance of its stores on a periodic basis to identify under-performing stores for
impairment of net property investment or for targeted closing. The Company's policy is to recognize a loss for that portion of the net property investment determined to be impaired. Additionally, when
a store is identified for targeted closing, the costs of closing the store are reserved. These costs consist primarily of estimated lease termination costs. Lease termination costs include both
one-time settlement payments and continued contractual payments over time under the original lease agreements where no settlement can be reached with the landlord. As a result, although
all stores targeted for closure may have been closed, the store closure reserve will continue to have a balance until all cash payments have been made. The Company does not accrue for future expected
operating losses.

Management
periodically reassesses the remaining store closure reserves based on all available relevant data. If and when a reserve that was established as part of purchase accounting is
not fully utilized, the Company reduces the reserve accordingly. Reserves for closed stores that are settled on terms more favorable than were originally estimated and expensed through the store
closure provision are reversed through the store closure provision (reversal) in the statement of operations. As of September 28, 2002, the remaining store closure reserve was
$2.1 million.





The
following table presents a summary of the activity in the store closure reserve during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 (in thousands):

(6) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Operating segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by management to decide how to
allocate resources and assess performance. This information is reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment
performance. Mrs. Fields has four reportable operating segments; namely, Company owned stores and related activity, franchising activity, licensing activity, and mail order activity. The
segments are determined by revenue source: Company owned stores, franchising, licensing, and mail order. The Company owned stores segment consists of both cookie and pretzel stores owned and operated
by Mrs. Fields along with sales of branded cookie dough to retailers. The franchising segment consists of cookie and pretzel stores, which are owned and operated by third parties who pay
Mrs. Fields an initial franchise or license fee and monthly royalties based on a percentage of sales. The licensing and other segment consists of royalties and license fees associated with
non-traditional store locations and other product licensing activity not related to cookie or pretzel stores. The mail order segment includes sales generated from the Company's mail order
gift catalog and web site. Sales and transfers between segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Mrs. Fields
evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on contribution margin. Contribution margin is computed as the difference between the revenues generated by a
reportable segment and the selling and store occupancy costs and cost of sales related to that reportable segment. Mrs. Fields does not allocate any revenue generated from the TCBY management
fee, general and administrative expense, other income (expense), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, or assets to its reportable operating segments. Mrs. Fields does not separate the costs incurred while performing activities for the TCBY Management Agreement from costs of operating
Mrs. Fields, as most of Mrs. Fields' employees support both companies. Therefore, the activity of managing TCBY is not reported as a separate segment. Segment revenue and contribution
margin are presented in the following table (in thousands):

income
or expense and cumulative effect of accounting change. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has been included in this
presentation because it is one of the indicators by which Mrs. Fields assesses its financial performance and its capacity to service its debt. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures.

The
assets of the Company primarily relate to Company owned stores and related activity. Assets relating to franchising and licensing activity are primarily amounts due
from franchisees and licensees and goodwill relating to franchising concepts.

The
Company has one licensee, Nonni's Food Company, Inc. ("Nonni's"), that accounted for $236,000 and $2.9 million, 20.9 percent and 64.8 percent, of the
revenue of the licensing and other business segment for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, respectively, and $313,000 and $2.7 million, 41.5 percent and
70.1 percent, of the revenue of the licensing and other business segment for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001, respectively. The Company has one customer, Quill Corporation
("Quill"), that accounted for $689,000 and $1.6 million, 33.3 percent and 23.6 percent, of revenue of the mail order business segment for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, respectively, and $386,000 and $1.1 million, 23.7 percent and 18.2 percent, of the revenues of the mail order business segment for the 13 weeks and 39
weeks ended September 29, 2001, respectively. There were no other customers or licensees that accounted for more than 10.0 percent of Mrs. Fields' total revenue or any individual
segment's revenue. At September 28, 2002, the Company has a receivable of approximately $1.0 million from Nonni's which represents 15.1 percent of the Company's total combined
receivables. At September 28, 2002, the Company has deferred revenue of $2.1 million under the Nonni's licensing agreement. This amount will be recognized into income during the fiscal
years of 2003 and 2004. Under the license agreement, the Company is allowed to appoint a designate to serve as a director on Nonni's
board of directors. Michael Ward, the Company's Senior Vice President and General Counsel, currently serves in that capacity.

(7) TAX SHARING DISTRIBUTION

The Company and Mrs. Fields' Holding have entered into a tax sharing agreement under the terms of which the Company distributed $300,000 to
Mrs. Fields' Holding during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The Company did not make any tax sharing distributions during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002.

(8) ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 for all goodwill and other recognized intangible assets. The statement changes the accounting
for goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. Upon the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 30, 2001,
amortization of current goodwill ceased.

In
connection with SFAS 142's transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, the Statement required the Company to perform an assessment of whether there was an indication that
goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, the Company identified its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including
goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company, through an independent appraisal firm, determined the fair value of each reporting unit and compared
it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The carrying amount of the "corporate owned stores" reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit indicating goodwill impairment.

The
Company compared the implied fair value of the "corporate owned stores" reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of its goodwill, both of which are measured as of the date
of adoption. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting
unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS 141. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $39.1 million to
reduce the carrying value of the goodwill associated with its "company owned store" reporting unit. Such charge is non-operational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Included in "corporate owned stores" assets are recognized assets, tradenames, trademarks,
and recipes, whose implied fair values exceed the current carrying value
of the assets by approximately $35.0 million. Since, SFAS 142 does not allow for any step up in the carrying value of the assets, the allocated fair value necessitated the
$39.1 million reduction in goodwill.

The
following outlines the impact of SFAS 142 on net income as a result of non-amortization of goodwill (in thousands):

(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for obligations of lessees and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143
requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS
No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS No. 143 on the Company's financial position and results of
operations.

In
April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 39, and Technical Corrections."
The Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145 recognizes that the use of debt extinguishments can be a part of the risk management strategy of a company and hence, the classification of
all early extinguishments of debt as an extraordinary item may no longer be appropriate. In addition, the Statement amends SFAS No. 39, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency
between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Provisions of this Statement, as they relate to Statement No. 39, are to be effective for transactions occurring
after May 15, 2002. Provisions, which relate to Statement No. 4, are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS
No. 145 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In
July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective for transactions initiated
after December 31, 2002. Under SFAS No. 146, a company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured
at fair value. A liability is incurred when an event obligates the entity to transfer or use assets. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS No. 146 on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

(11) SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company's obligation related to its Senior Notes due 2004 is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis and on a senior basis by four
of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). The total principal amount of these notes is $140.0 million. These guarantees are general unsecured obligations of the Guarantors,
rank senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors and rankpari passuin right of payment with all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the Guarantors. There are no restrictions on the Company's ability to obtain cash dividends or other distributions of funds from the Guarantors, except those imposed by
applicable law. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a condensed consolidating basis, balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for
Mrs. Fields' Original Cookies, Inc. (the "Parent Company"), Great American Cookie Company, Inc., The Mrs. Fields' Brand, Inc., Pretzelmaker, Inc., and Pretzel
Time, Inc., which are Guarantors (collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") and Mrs. Fields' Cookies Australia, Mrs. Fields' Cookies (Canada) Ltd., H & M Canada,
Pretzelmaker of Canada, Peachtree Pretzel Time, Inc., Sunshine Pretzel Time, Inc. and CMBC, Inc., and three partially owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Non-guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries because management has determined
that such information is not material to investors.

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

Forward-looking Information

This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the words "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "believe," "expect" or
"anticipate" and other similar words. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management's reasonable estimates of future
results or trends. Although the Company believes that the plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are reasonable, the Company
may not achieve such plans or objectives. Actual results may differ materially from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the
following:



The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report may not occur.

Overview

Mrs. Fields' Original Cookies, Inc. ("Mrs. Fields" or the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mrs. Fields' Holding
Company, Inc. ("Mrs. Fields' Holding"). Mrs. Fields' Holding is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, Inc. ("Famous Brands"), which was established
to combine Mrs. Fields' Holding and TCBY Holding Company, Inc. ("TCBY") under a common parent.

Mrs. Fields
has 11 wholly owned operating subsidiaries; namely, Great American Cookie Company, Inc., The Mrs. Fields' Brand, Inc., Pretzel Time, Inc.,
Pretzelmaker, Inc., Mrs. Fields' Cookies Australia, Mrs. Fields' Cookies (Canada) Ltd., H&M Canada, Pretzelmaker of Canada, Peachtree Pretzel Time, Inc., Sunshine
Pretzel Time, Inc., and CMBC, Inc.; and three partially owned subsidiaries.

Mrs. Fields
primarily operates and franchises retail stores, which sell freshly baked cookies, brownies, pretzels and other food products through six specialty retail chains. As
of September 28, 2002, Mrs. Fields owned and operated 124 Mrs. Fields Cookies stores, 30 Original Cookie Company stores, 75 Great American Cookies stores, 25 Hot Sam Pretzels
stores, 88 Pretzel Time stores, 5 Pretzelmaker stores, and 19 Bakery Cookie Cafes in the United States. Additionally, Mrs. Fields has franchised or licensed 884 stores in the United States and
74 stores in several other countries.

During
mid-to-late 2001 and early 2002, the Company opened 57 company-owned stores in Wal-Mart locations. Sales and operating performance at the
Wal-Mart locations did not meet expectations. Based upon the operating trends of the Wal-Mart locations, and to eliminate future operational losses from these locations,
management determined to close the Company's stores located within Wal-Mart. The Company negotiated a release from these locations from Wal-Mart effective September 28,
2002. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the
write-off of the leasehold improvements and store assets located within Wal-Mart. In addition the Company incurred exit costs of $518,000 associated with loss of inventory and
other costs. The Company has no further obligations for these store locations. Management does not anticipate any further costs or charges related to these locations in the future.

In
June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 for all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized. The statement changes the accounting for goodwill and
other indefinite life intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. Upon the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 30, 2001, amortization of
current goodwill ceased.

As
a result of the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $39.1 million to reduce the carrying value of
the goodwill associated with its "company owned stores" reporting unit. Such charge is non-operational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The
impact of the restructuring and impairment charges of $7.5 million associated with Wal-Mart, the write-off of goodwill of $39.1 million from the
implementation of SFAS 142, and depreciation and amortization expense of $24.2 million for the year ended December 29, 2001 and $7.9 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002 have negatively impacted stockholder's equity, resulting in stockholder's deficit of $63.1 million at September 28, 2002. The Company's stockholder's deficit
may limit its ability to obtain new franchisees in certain states that require a minimum positive stockholder's equity to offer franchises. Certain other states may require the deferral of the initial
franchise fee payment until the franchised store opens.

Mrs. Fields'
business follows seasonal trends and economic conditions and is also affected by climate and weather conditions, which in turn affect mall traffic. Because
Mrs. Fields' stores are heavily concentrated in shopping malls, Mrs. Fields' sales performance is significantly dependent on the performance of those malls. Mrs. Fields typically
experiences its highest revenues in the fourth quarter of the calendar year due to the holiday season.

Mrs. Fields
has entered into a management agreement (the "TCBY Management Agreement") with TCBY and TCBY Systems, LLC, ("TCBY Systems"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
TCBY, pursuant to which Mrs. Fields has agreed to manage and operate TCBY's business, and pay specified operating and other costs of TCBY in exchange for a management fee ("Management Fee")
paid by TCBY Systems semi-monthly. Revenue generated from the Management Fee is reported under the caption "Management fee revenue" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
and Comprehensive Loss. On August 31, 2001, the Management Agreement was amended to provide for the retention of certain amounts payable and the release of such amounts based upon compliance
with a ratio test included in a TCBY Systems' credit facility and that the payment of Management Fee and certain other amounts to be received by the Company under the TCBY Management Agreement would,
under certain circumstances, be subordinated to certain indebtedness of TCBY Systems. Included in amounts due from affiliates and deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September 28, 2002, is $1.5 million related to such retention amount.

TCBY
currently is negotiating to sell its dairy processing plant subsidiary to two entities owned by Capricorn Investors III, L.P., a significant stockholder of Famous
Brands, with the closing anticipated to occur prior to December 1, 2002. In connection with the proposed sale of its dairy processing plant subsidiary, TCBY also is negotiating with the lenders
under its credit facility and its subordinated noteholders to seek consent to the proposed transaction and to seek certain other amendments, waivers and consents under the revolving credit facility
and the subordinated notes. As part of these proposed transactions, it is anticipated that (i) TCBY will receive sufficient proceeds from the sale of its dairy
processing plant subsidiary to remit $2.5 million to the Company to reimburse the Company for expenses it incurred on behalf of TCBY during the year ended December 30, 2000 to transfer
the management functions of TCBY from Little Rock, Arkansas to the Company's corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah (the "TCBY Reimbursement"), and (ii) the TCBY Management Agreement
will be amended to reduce the Management Fee from $12.4 million per year to $10.4 million per year for the period of October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 and
thereafter to $9.4 million per year to reflect actual and anticipated reductions in the Company's overhead cost structure in performing its management function for TCBY. It is anticipated that
the TCBY Management Agreement will also be amended to eliminate a provision in the TCBY Management Agreement that requires TCBY to defer up to $2.0 million of the management fees payable
thereunder annually contingent on the financial performance of TCBY as measured against certain financial ratios in its credit facility, although the $1.5 million in such fees deferred through
September 28, 2002 would continue to be deferred until certain of TCBY's debt is repaid. Consummation of these transactions is subject to various approvals, including final approval of the
Board of Directors of the Company and, in the case of the proposed amendment to the TCBY Management Agreement, receipt of a fairness opinion from an accounting, appraisal or investment bank of
national standing. There can be no assurance that TCBY will be successful in closing the sale of its dairy processing plant subsidiary, receiving sufficient proceeds to pay the TCBY Reimbursement to
the Company, or obtaining the requested amendments, waivers and consents under its credit facility and subordinated notes. In the event that the closing does not occur or the requested amendments,
waivers and consents are not obtained, it is possible that TCBY will not be able to make the required payments under the Management Agreement to the Company, which could adversely affect the Company's
results from operations and its liquidity.

13 Weeks Ended September 28, 2002 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended September 29, 2001

Loss From OperationsOverview.The Company incurred a loss from operations of $705,000
for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, compared to a loss from operations of $2.8 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001, a decrease in loss from operations of
$2.2 million. This decrease in loss from operations is primarily attributable to an increase in contributions from franchising and licensing of $700,000 and mail order of $300,000 and decreases
in general and administrative expenses of $100,000 and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.3 million offset by decreases in store contribution of $1.1 million and in management
fee income of $200,000 and restructuring costs associated with the Company exiting its Wal-Mart locations on September 28, 2002 of $2.2 million.

Store
contribution was $3.5 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.1 million or 24.2 percent, from store contribution of
$4.6 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was a result of a 2.8 percent decrease in same store comparable sales for the 2002 13 week period from the
2001 13 week period. Additionally, the decrease resulted from the sale of 32 corporate owned stores to franchisees during the first half of 2002 and a $400,000 loss incurred at the Company's
Wal-Mart locations for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to a loss of $200,000 in the same period of 2001.

Franchising
and licensing contribution was $5.7 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $700,000 or 15.2 percent, from franchising and
licensing contribution of $4.9 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally the result of an increase in royalties and license fees earned under its
Mrs Fields branded product licenses for Mrs. Fields branded ice cream and premium hot cocoa.

Mail
order contribution was $900,000 for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $300,000 or 56.1 percent, from $600,000 for the 13 weeks ended
September 29, 2001. This increase was attributable to a 27.2 percent increase in mail order sales and cost reductions as a result of the
state-of-the-art baking and manufacturing facility occupied in late 2001.

Company Owned and Franchised or Licensed Store Activity.As of September 28, 2002, there were
366 Company owned stores and 958 franchised or licensed stores in operation. The store activity for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 is summarized as follows:

Net Store and Food Sales.Total net store and food sales, which includes sales from stores and sales
of refrigerated cookie dough product to retail markets, were $27.7 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $2.8 million or 9.1 percent, from
$30.5 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease in store sales was the result of 587 fewer store weeks (excluding Wal-Mart locations) resulting in a
sales shortfall from normalized unit week average ("UWA") of $2.5 million, and a 2.8 percent decrease or $711,000 in same store comparable sales. This decrease was offset by a net
increase in sales of $576,000 from the Company's Wal-Mart locations, which opened in mid-to-late 2001.

Store Operations:The following tables outline the performance of the Company's store operations and
segregates the performance of the Wal-Mart locations for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 (dollars in thousands, excluding UWA sales and
contribution).

Cost of SalesStore and Food(Stores only).Cost of sales were
$6.2 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.0 million or 13.6 percent, from $7.2 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29,
2001. This decrease was due to fewer operating stores, resulting in 109 fewer total unit weeks during the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to the 13 weeks ended September 29,
2001 and cost containment strategies.

Cost
of sales for the Company's traditional stores were $5.7 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.3 million or 18.3 percent,
from $7.0 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was the result of 587 fewer unit weeks for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to the 13
weeks ended September 29, 2001 and cost containment strategies implemented, including the closing of non-performing stores.

Selling and Store Occupancy Costs.Total selling and store occupancy costs were $17.5 million
for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $900,000 or 4.9 percent, from $18.4 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was primarily
due to fewer stores opened during the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. Selling and store occupancy costs increased from 60.8 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 29,
2001 to 64.2 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002. This increase was in part due to the increase in selling and store occupancy costs associated with the
Wal-Mart locations where selling and store occupancy costs were 95.4 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002. At the Company's traditional stores, selling
and occupancy costs were 62.9 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to 60.3 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001 due to
an increase in rent and occupancy expense and other store and selling expense.

Labor
costs associated with the traditional stores remained flat at 27.8 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and the 13 weeks ended
September 29, 2001 as a result of tightening the staffing levels and closure of non-performing stores offset by an increase in labor rates.

Occupancy
costs, including rent, for the traditional stores were $6.7 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $400,000 or 5.5 percent,
compared to $7.1 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease in occupancy costs was the result of fewer stores opened during the period offset by increased lease termination costs of $100,000. Rents on a UWA basis
increased 7.3% for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 from the 13 weeks ended September 29,
2001. This increase in UWA rents is due to increases in lease termination costs and base rents for the Company's combined multi-concept bakery cafes.

Other
store and selling expenses for the traditional stores were 9.7 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to 8.6 percent of sales for
the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Employee incentives for improving individual store performance, which increased store operating performance by approximately $900,000, represented
49.6 percent of the increase or $143,000.

Franchising and Licensing Revenues.Franchising and licensing revenues were $7.4 million for
the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $600,000 or 9.5 percent, from $6.8 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001.

Franchising
revenues were $6.3 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $300,000 or 4.5 percent, from $6.0 million for the 13 weeks
ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally due to an increase in product sales to the Company's franchisees through the Company's batter facility of approximately $100,000, and an
increase in franchising royalties of approximately $200,000 as a result of additional franchisees from the sale of Company-owned stores to franchisees.

Licensing
and other revenues were $1.1 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $400,000 or 49.7 percent, from $700,000 for the 13 weeks
ended September 29, 2001. This increase in revenues was principally due to licensing royalties earned under licensing agreements for Mrs. Fields branded ice cream and premium hot cocoa.
During the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, the Company recognized licensing revenues of approximately $600,000 under two new licensing agreements, including approximately $100,000 from a
manufacturer of premium hot cocoa and approximately $500,000 from TCBY for the sale of Mrs. Fields branded ice cream. The increase in licensing royalties was offset by a reduction in
international and domestic licensing revenues of approximately $100,000.

Franchising and Licensing Expenses.Franchising and licensing expenses were $1.7 million for
the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000 or 6.2 percent, from $1.8 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002. The decrease was principally due
to a decrease in labor and administrative costs associated with the Company's batter facility.

Mail Order Sales.Mail order sales were $2.1 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, an increase of $500,000 or 27.2 percent, from $1.6 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Mail order sales consist of sales through the
Company's catalog and e-tailing web-site. The increase was primarily due to an increase in mail order catalog and e-tailing sales, which was partially offset by a
decrease of approximately $30,000 in product sales to airlines as a result of lower airline travel post-September 11.

Mail Order Expenses.Mail order expenses were $1.1 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, an increase of $100,000, or 10.4 percent, from $1.0 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Net contribution for mail order increased from
36.8 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001 to 45.1 percent of sales for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 as a result of
savings in labor and occupancy costs associated with mail order's new state-of-the-art baking and manufacturing facility occupied in late 2001.

Management Fee Revenue.Management fee revenue was $2.8 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, a decrease of $300,000 or 8.0 percent, from $3.1 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was due to an increase in the retention
amount of the Management Fee of $500,000 during the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002 offset by 2001 retention amounts of $200,000 received and recognized as income during the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses were $10.2 million
for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000 or 1.4 percent, from $10.3 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was primarily
the result of decreases in the corporate bonus incentives of $400,000 and marketing expenditures of $400,000 offset by increases in severance costs for various employees downsized in
September 2002 of $200,000, legal settlement costs of $300,000, and insurance costs of $200,000.

Store Closure Provision.Reversal of the store closure provision was $52,000 for the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002 compared to a store closure provision of $176,000 for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This was the result of effective settlement of associated operating lease
commitments below previous estimates to establish the store closure reserve.

Wal-Mart Restructuring Costs.Wal-Mart restructuring costs were
$2.2 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002. In September 2002, the Company negotiated a release from Wal-Mart for the Company's Wal-Mart
locations. In connection with that release, operations ceased at these locations on September 28, 2002. As a result, the remaining carrying value of the equipment of $1.7 million was
written off. Additionally, the associated inventory was written off and certain costs were incurred for exiting these stores. The Company does not anticipate incurring any additional charges
associated with exiting the Wal-Mart locations.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation expense was $1.1 million for the 13 weeks
ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.8 million or 62.3 percent, from $2.9 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was primarily the
result of fewer store assets as a result of store closures and the sale of corporate owned stores to franchisees in 2002 and the impairment of assets at the Wal-Mart stores recorded during
the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2002 of $5.3 million.

Amortization
expense was $326,000 for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $2.5 million, from $2.8 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 29, 2001. This decrease was principally the result of ceasing amortization of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, effective December 30, 2001 which changes the
accounting treatment applied to goodwill and other intangible assets after the assets have been initially recognized in the financial statements.

Interest Expense, Net.Interest expense, net was $4.3 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000, from $4.4 million for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was principally the result of lower interest rates on the
Company's line of credit, and lower balances outstanding under the line of credit and under the Company's capital lease obligations.

Other, Net.Other income, net was $1.2 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28,
2002, an increase of $1.2 million, from $23,000 of other expense, net for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally due to $1.2 million gain recognized
on the sale of corporate owned stores to franchisees during the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002.

39 weeks Ended September 28, 2002 Compared to the 39 weeks Ended September 29, 2001

Income From OperationsOverview.The Company incurred a loss from operations of
$3.3 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to a loss from operations of $1.7 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001, an increase in loss
from operations of $1.6 million. This increase in loss from operations was primarily attributable to decreases in store contribution of $4.2 million and in management fee revenue of
$600,000, an increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million and restructuring costs associated with the Company exiting its Wal-Mart locations on
September 28, 2002 of $7.5 million offset by increases in contributions from franchising and licensing of $1.5 million and mail order of $600,000 and in other operating revenues
of $1.6 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $9.5 million.

Store
contribution was $10.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $4.2 million or 28.7 percent, from store contribution of
$14.7 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was a result of a 2.0 percent decrease in same store comparable sales for the 2002 39 week period from the 2001 39 week period. Additionally, the decrease resulted from the sale of 32 corporate owned stores to franchisees during the first half of 2002 and a
$1.4 million loss incurred at the Company's Wal-Mart locations for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to a loss of $200,000 in the same period of 2001.

Franchising
and licensing contribution was $17.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $1.5 million or 9.4 percent, from
franchising and licensing contribution of $15.9 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally the result of an increase in royalties and license fees
earned under its Mrs Fields branded product licenses for Mrs. Fields branded ice cream and premium hot cocoa of $600,000, an increase in non-traditional franchise royalties of
$300,000, and an increase in contribution of cookie batter sold to Great American Cookie franchisees of $200,000.

Mail
order contribution was $3.0 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $600,000 or 23.7 percent, from $2.4 million for the 39
weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase was
attributable to a 12.4 percent increase in mail order sales and cost reductions as a result of the state-of-the-art baking and manufacturing facility
occupied in late 2001.

Other
operating revenue is principally comprised of $1.5 million received under the Company's business interruption insurance for the loss of the World Trade Center store as a
result of the events of September 11, 2001.

Company Owned and Franchised or Licensed Store Activity.As of September 28, 2002, there were
366 Company owned stores and 958 franchised or licensed stores in operation. The store activity for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 is summarized as follows:

Net Store and Food Sales.Total net store and food sales, which includes sales from stores and sales
of refrigerated cookie dough product to retail markets, were $86.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $2.8 million or 3.1 percent, from
$89.2 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease in store sales was the result of 1,108 fewer store weeks (excluding Wal-Mart locations), resulting in a
sales shortfall from normalized UWA of $4.5 million and a 2.0 percent decrease or $1.5 million in same store comparable sales. This decrease was offset by a net increase in sales
of $3.1 million from the Company's Wal-Mart locations, which opened in mid-to-late 2001.



Store Operations:The following tables outline the performance of the Company's store operations and
segregate the performance of the Wal-Mart locations for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 (dollars in thousands, excluding UWA sales and
contribution).

Cost of SalesStore and Food(Stores only).Cost of sales were
$20.0 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000 or 0.2 percent, from $20.1 million for the 39 weeks end September 29, 2001. This
decrease is due to fewer operating stores, resulting in 778 fewer total unit weeks during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2001, and
cost containment strategies.

Cost
of sales for the Company's traditional stores were $18.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.5 million or 7.4 percent,
from $19.9 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was the result of 1,108 fewer unit weeks for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to the 39
weeks ended September 29, 2001 and cost containment strategies implemented, including the closing of non-performing stores.

Selling and Store Occupancy Costs.Total selling and store occupancy costs were $55.2 million
for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $1.4 million or 2.6 percent, from $53.8 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to fewer stores opened during the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. Selling and store occupancy costs increased from 60.7 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended
September 29, 2001 to 64.3 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002. This increase was in part due to the increase in selling and store occupancy costs
associated with the Wal-Mart locations where selling and store occupancy costs were 95.4 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002. At the Company's
traditional stores, selling and occupancy costs were 63.0 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to 60.5 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended
September 29, 2001 due to an increase in rent and occupancy expense and other store and selling expense.

Labor
costs associated with the traditional stores remained flat at 28.8 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and 28.4 percent for the 39 weeks
ended September 29, 2001 as a result of tightening the staffing levels and closure of non-performing stores offset by an increase in labor rates.

Occupancy
costs, including rent, for the traditional stores were $20.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $200,000 or 1.2 percent,
compared to $20.6 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Rents on a UWA basis increased 6.9% for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 from the 39 weeks ended
September 29, 2001. This increase in UWA rents is due to increases in lease termination costs and base rents for the Company's combined multi-concept bakery cafes.

Other
store and selling expenses for the traditional stores were 9.4 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 compared to 8.7 percent of sales for
the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001.

Franchising and Licensing Revenues.Franchising and licensing revenues were $22.8 million for
the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $1.4 million or 6.5 percent, from $21.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001.

Franchising
revenues were $18.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $800,000 or 4.5 percent, from $17.6 million for the 39 weeks
ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally due to increases in initial franchise fees of $600,000, franchising revenues from batter sales to franchisees of $300,000 offset by lower
recurring royalties received from franchisees as a result of fewer franchisees and impact of the recession on franchisee sales. Franchisee sales have experienced an average reduction in UWA sales of
9.6%.

Licensing
and other revenues were $4.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $600,000 or 16.3 percent, from $3.9 million for the
39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. During the 2002 period, the Company recognized licensing revenues of $100,000 from a manufacturer of premium hot cocoa and licensing revenues of $500,000 from
TCBY for the sale of Mrs. Fields branded ice cream. These contracts were not in place in 2001.

Franchising and Licensing Expenses.Franchising and licensing expenses were $5.5 million for
the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000 or 1.9 percent, from $5.6 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002. The decrease was principally due
to a decrease in labor and operating costs at the company's batter facility.

Mail Order Sales.Mail order sales were $6.7 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, an increase of $800,000 or 12.4 percent, from $5.9 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Mail order sales consist of sales through the
Company's catalog and e-tailing web-site. The increase was primarily due to an increase in mail order catalog and e-tailing sales, which was partially offset by a
decrease of approximately $300,000 in product sales to airlines as a result of lower airline travel post-September 11.

Mail Order Expenses.Mail order expenses were $3.7 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, an increase of $200,000 or 4.7 percent, from $3.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. Net
contribution for mail order increased from 40.6 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001 to 44.6 percent of sales for the 39 weeks ended September 28,
2002 as a result of savings in labor and occupancy costs associated with mail order's state-of-the-art baking and manufacturing facility occupied in late 2001.

Management Fee Revenue.Management fee revenue was $8.7 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, a decrease of $600,000 or 6.8 percent, from $9.3 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. The decrease was due to an increase in the retention
amount of the Management Fee of $1.5 million during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 offset by 2001 retention amounts of $900,000 received and recognized as income during the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002. The Company has increased the retention amount for 2002 to the full amount required under the TCBY amended Management Agreement of $1.5 million through
September 28, 2002.

Other Operating Revenue.Other operating revenue was $1.7 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, an increase of $1.6 million from the $100,000 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase was principally due to $1.5 million received
under the Company's business interruption insurance policy for the loss of the Company's World Trade Center store as a result of the events of September 11, 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses were $29.3 million
for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, an increase of $2.5 million or 9.4 percent, from $26.8 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase
was the result of increases in marketing and advertising expenses of $800,000, workers compensation reserves of $700,000, settlement of legal claims of $500,000, severance expense associated with
general and administrative staffing reduction of $200,000 and other general and administrative costs of $300,000.

Store Closure Provision.Reversal of the store closure provision was $13,000 for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002 compared to store closure provision of $74,000 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This was the result of effective settlements of operating lease commitments
below previous estimates to establish the store closure reserve.

Wal-Mart Restructuring Costs.Wal-Mart restructuring costs were
$7.5 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002. In September 2002, the Company negotiated a release from Wal-Mart for the Company's Wal-Mart
locations. In connection with that release, operations ceased at these locations on September 28, 2002. As a result, the carrying value of the equipment of $7.0 million was written off.
Additionally, the associated inventory was written off and certain costs were incurred for exiting these stores. The Company does not anticipate incurring any additional charges associated with
exiting the Wal-Mart locations.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation expense was $6.9 million for the 39 weeks
ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $1.3 million or 15.7 percent, from $8.2 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was primarily the
result of fewer stores assets as a result of store closures and sale of corporate owned stores to franchisees and impairment of assets at the Wal-Mart locations.

Amortization
expense was $1.0 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, a decrease of $8.3 million, from $9.3 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 29, 2001. This decrease was principally the result of ceasing amortization of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, effective December 30, 2001 which changes the
accounting treatment applied to goodwill and other intangible assets after the assets have been initially recognized in the financial statements.

Interest Expense, Net.Interest expense, net was $13.0 million for the 39 weeks ended
September 28, 2002, a decrease of $100,000, from $13.1 million for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This decrease was principally the result of lower interest rates on the
Company's line of credit, and lower balances outstanding under the line of credit and under the Company's capital lease obligations.

Other, Net.Other income, net was $1.1 million for the 39 weeks ended September 28,
2002, an increase of $1.0 million, compared to $100,000 of other income, net for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2001. This increase is principally due to $1.1 million gain
recognized on the sale of corporate owned stores to franchisees during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002.

Loss From Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change.The Company recorded a non-cash charge
of approximately $39.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill associated with its "company owned stores" reporting unit. Such charge is non-operational in nature and
is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General.The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, sale
of Company owned stores, the TCBY Reimbursement, cash on hand and available borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility. Cash flows from asset sales are subject to indenture restrictions.
Asset sale proceeds are required to be used in specified ways for payment of debt and permitted investment. At September 28, 2002, the Company had $2.1 million of unrestricted cash and
cash equivalents and
bank borrowings under the line of credit of $7.1 million and standby letters of credit totaling $1.9 million outstanding, all of which are scheduled to mature prior to March 31,
2003. The maximum availability under the Company's reducing credit facility is currently $9.0 million and is currently scheduled to decrease to $6.0 million on December 1, 2002
and to $4.0 million on January 31, 2003. However, the Company is currently negotiating with the lender to extend the dates of the reductions in the revolving credit facility or reduce
the amount of the required reductions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in negotiating the extension of the dates or amounts of the reductions. Capricorn Investors III,
L.P. ("Capricorn III"), one of Famous Brands' principal stockholders, has guaranteed the lesser of $3.5 million or 50.0 percent of the aggregate amount of the Company's revolving credit
facility.

Mrs. Fields'
operations were negatively impacted by the recession that began to affect the Company's results in the second quarter of 2001 and have been further impacted by the
events of September 11, 2001. Additionally, the Company has incurred net losses from the date of its formation resulting in a stockholder's deficit of $63.1 million at
September 28, 2002. For the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, approximately $55.7 million of such net losses were the result of non-cash expenses, including the loss
from the cumulative effect of an accounting change, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, debt issuance costs, and asset impairment on Wal-Mart locations.

The
Company's stockholder's deficit of $63.1 million may limit its ability to obtain new franchisees in certain states that require a minimum positive stockholder's equity to
offer franchises. Certain other states may require the deferral of the initial franchise fee payment until the franchised store opens. These restrictions may reduce or defer proceeds from initial
franchise fees.

The
Company expects that its principal uses of cash for the forseeable future will be for working capital, capital expenditures, store closure obligations, debt service requirements and
other general corporate purposes. The Company expects to expend approximately $6.2 million for capital expenditures in fiscal year 2002 of which approximately $3.0 million will be used
for the construction of new stores, $1.9 million will be used to remodel existing stores and $1.3 million will be used for other non-store capital expenditures. Approximately
$1.1 million of these expenditures for new store construction have been identified for possible sale to franchisees. In addition to its regular monthly debt service and the step down in the
credit facility discussed above, the Company has a semi-annual interest payment on its long-term notes of $7.1 million due December 1, 2002. Additionally,
Mrs. Fields' Holding has $28.0 million of 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes that will require semi-annual cash interest payments of $1.9 million
commencing June 1, 2003. The 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes are secured by all of the Company's common stock. These 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes mature
August 2005 and the Company's 101/8 percent Senior Notes of $140.0 million mature November 2004. Management anticipates that these cash requirements, except the
principal payments of the 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes and the Company's 101/8 percent Senior Notes at maturity, will be funded with cash generated from operating
activities, the sale of Company owned stores, the TCBY Reimbursement, and short-term borrowings under its credit facility as needed. Management is currently negotiating to replace its reducing credit facility
with a non-reducing facility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in negotiating the replacement of the current reducing credit facility. Management anticipates
that the 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes and the Company's 101/8 percent Senior Notes will be refinanced prior to
maturity. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in refinancing these debt instruments.

The
Company is in compliance with its covenants underlying its revolving credit facility and 101/8 percent Senior Notes at September 28, 2002. Mrs. Fields'
Holding is in compliance with its covenants underlying its 14.0 percent Senior Secured Discount Notes at September 28, 2002.

Due
to the uncertainty regarding the Company's negotiations with respect to the extension of the dates for and the amounts of the reductions of its current credit facility and proposed
replacement thereof, there can be no assurance that such negotiations will be successful. If the Company is unable to modify the current credit facility or replace it, the Company may be unable to
meet anticipated working capital needs, routine capital expenditures and current debt service obligations on a short-term basis without asset sales, the timing and probability of which
cannot be predicted. Furthermore, any such asset sales may further impede the Company's ability to obtain necessary financing.

September 28, 2002 Compared to December 29, 2001

As of September 28, 2002, the Company had liquid assets (unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable) of $7.4 million, a decrease
of $3.1 million, from December 29, 2001 when liquid assets were $10.5 million. Current assets decreased by $5.4 million to $11.8 million at September 28, 2002
from $17.2 million at December 29, 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, in accounts receivable, amounts due from franchisees and
licensees, amounts due from affiliates, inventories, and assets held for sale that were sold to franchisees in 2002. Long-term assets decreased $54.4 million to
$104.7 million at September 28, 2002 from $159.1 million at December 29, 2001. This decrease was due to a write-off of goodwill in accordance with
SFAS 142 of $39.1 million, a write down of the carrying value of the long-term assets of the Company's Wal-Mart locations of $7.5 million, recurring
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, intangibles, and deferred loan costs and the sale of Company owned stores offset by an increase in amounts due from affiliates associated with
the Management Fee retention amount under the TCBY Management Agreement.

Current
liabilities decreased by $6.0 million to $33.6 million at September 28, 2002 from $39.6 million at December 29, 2001. This decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, sales tax payable and bank borrowings under the line of credit, which was partially offset by an increase in accrued interest
payable and accrued salaries, wages, and benefits.

The
Company's working capital deficit decreased by $600,000 to a deficit of $21.8 million at September 28, 2002 from a deficit of $22.4 million at
December 29, 2001, for the reasons described above.

The
Company generated $175,000 of cash from operating activities during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002. The Company generated $1.5 million of cash from investing
activities during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, primarily from proceeds from the sales of 39 Company owned stores to franchisees, which was partially offset by capital expenditures.
The Company utilized $3.0 million of cash for financing activities during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002, principally due to payments on the Company's line of credit,
long-term debt and capital leases offset by drafts in transit in excess of borrowing availability.

The
specialty cookie and pretzel businesses do not require the maintenance of significant receivables or inventories. However, the Company continually invests in its business by
upgrading and remodeling stores and adding new stores, carts and kiosks as opportunities arise. Investments in these long-term assets, which are key to generating current sales, reduce its
working capital. During the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001, the Company expended cash of $5.6 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for capital
assets.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on the operations of the business has not been significant in recent years. Most of the Company's leases contain escalation clauses.
However, such leases are accounted for on a straight-line basis as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which minimizes fluctuations in operating
income. In addition, some of our employees are paid hourly wages at the Federal minimum wage level. Minimum wage increases will negatively impact our payroll costs in the short term, but management
believes such impact can be offset in the long term through lower staffing of store operations and, if necessary, through product price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the Company's financial statements. Management has reviewed the accounting policies that it uses to
prepare the Company's financial statements and believes that the following policies are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations while
requiring the use of judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Related Party Transactions.Mrs. Fields has contractual relationships with various affiliates,
primarily TCBY and Mrs. Fields' Holding, which are intended to be fair to the parties involved in the transactions and on terms similar to what could be negotiated with independent third
parties. Sometimes the
Company is required to negotiate the agreements for both sides of the transaction. Also, inherent in any contractual relationship is the interpretation of the intent of the agreement at a later time
when unanticipated events occur. When situations like these occur, the Company attempts objectively to determine the terms of the transaction or interpret the intent of the agreement on a fair and
independent basis. However, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so. Individual affiliate transactions or a series of related transactions in excess of $1.0 million require
a resolution by the Company's board of directors. Individual affiliate transactions or a series of related transactions in excess of $5.0 million require an "opinion of fairness" by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets.The Company reviews its long-lived assets
for impairment when circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be fully recovered by the undiscounted net cash flow generated over the remaining life of the related asset or group
of assets. If the cash flows generated by the asset are not sufficient to recover the remaining book value of the asset, the Company is required to write down the value of the asset. In evaluating
whether the asset will generate sufficient cash flow to recover its book value, the Company estimates the amount of cash flow that will be generated by the asset and the remaining life of the asset.
In making its estimate, the Company considers the performance trends related to the asset, the likelihood that the trends will continue or change, both at the asset level as well as at the national
economic level and the length of time that it expects to retain the asset.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.The Company sells product to and receives royalties from its
franchisees and sells product to other customers. Sometimes these franchisees and customers are unable or unwilling to pay for the products that they receive or royalties that they owe. Factors that affect the Company's ability to collect amounts that are due to Mrs. Fields include the
financial strength of a franchisee or customer and its operations, the economic strength of the mall where the franchisee is located and the overall strength of the retail economy. Mrs. Fields
is required to establish an estimated allowance for the amounts included in accounts receivable that it will not be able to collect in the future. To establish this allowance, it evaluates the
customer's or franchisee's financial strength, payment history, reported sales and the availability of collateral to offset potential losses. If the assumptions that are used to determine the
allowance for doubtful accounts change, Mrs. Fields may have to provide for a greater level of expense in future periods or to reverse amounts accrued in prior periods.

Store Closure Reserve.The Company will periodically close under-performing stores, either
individually or as part of an overall store closure plan. When a store is targeted for closure, it records a provision for costs that will be incurred in closing the store, which are predominately
estimated lease termination costs. The costs include both settlement payments and continued contractual payments over time under original lease agreements. The amount of the provision is allocated
between current amounts that are estimated to be paid within one year and long-term amounts that are estimated to be paid thereafter. The amount of the estimated reserve and the timing of
the payments are affected by Mrs. Fields' ability to settle with the landlord for amounts less than the amount reserved and the timing of the settlement payments agreed to in the settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset,
except for obligations of lessees and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the
period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not yet
assessed the impact of SFAS No. 143 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In
April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 39, and Technical Corrections."
The Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145 recognizes that the use of debt extinguishments can be a part of the risk management strategy of a company and hence, the classification of
all early extinguishments of debt as an extraordinary item may no longer be appropriate. In addition, the Statement amends SFAS No. 39, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency
between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Provisions of this Statement, as they relate to Statement No. 39, are to be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Provisions,
which relate to Statement No. 4, are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS No. 145 on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

In
July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 is effective for transactions initiated
after December 31, 2002. Under SFAS No. 146, a company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured
at fair value. A liability is incurred when an event obligates the entity to transfer or use assets. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS No. 146 on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
