                             HOTEL DISCOVERY, INC.
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 28, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1) GENERAL

        The business of Hotel Discovery, Inc. (the "Company") is to develop,
own and operate theme restaurants with a retail component designed to appeal to
the upscale casual dining market.  The Company opened its first restaurant in
the Kenwood Shopping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio on December 19, 1996, and a
second restaurant to be located at the Mall of America in Bloomington,
Minnesota is under development.

On November 13, 1996, the Company was reorganized after Hotel Mexico, Inc. was
incorporated in the state of Ohio and became the owner of Hotel Mexico,
Inc.-predecessor and all the net assets of Kenwood Restaurant Limited
Partnership.  The result of the reorganization is that the owners of Hotel
Mexico, Inc.-predecessor and the Partnership became the owners of all the
outstanding stock of Hotel Mexico, Inc.-successor.  In August 1997, the Company
reincorporated in the State of Minnesota, and changed its name from Hotel      
Mexico, Inc. to Hotel Discovery, Inc.  The reincorporation and reorganization
have been reflected retroactively and all share and per share amounts have been
adjusted.

(2) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent registration statement dated November 3, 1997.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have
been made.  Operating results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended
September 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 1997.

     The Company has adopted a 52/53 week accounting period ending on the
Sunday nearest December 31 of each year.

(3) INITIAL PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING

     During November 1997, the Company sold, in an initial public offering,
2,500,000 units at an offering price of $5.00 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of
one share of Common Stock and one Redeemable Class A Warrant.  The Company
received net proceeds of approximately $11.2 million after the payment of
approximately $1.3 million in related underwriting discount and offering costs.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)

(4) INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     Income (loss) per common share is usually based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period.  However, pursuant to
certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the calculation also
includes equity securities, including options and warrants, issued within one
year of an initial public offering with an issue price less than the initial
public offering price, even if the effect is anti-dilutive.  The treasury stock
approach was used in determining the dilutive effect of such issuances.  Common
stock equivalents (other than those issued within one year of an initial public
offering with an issue price less than the initial public offering price)
including options and warrants are assumed to be exercised or converted into
common shares at the beginning of each period unless the aggregate effect of
such inclusion is anti-dilative.  Primary and fully diluted income (loss) per
share are the same.

     The Company will adopt in the fiscal year ending December 28, 1997,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (SFAS
No. 128), which was issued in February 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires disclosures
of basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS, which replaces the existing
primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, as defined by APB No. 15.  Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding during the year.  Dilative EPS is computed similar
to EPS as previously reported provided that, when applying the treasury stock
method to common equivalent shares, the Company must use its average share
price for the period rather than the more dilative greater of the average share
price or end-of-period share price required by APB No. 15.

(5) INCOME TAXES

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", under which deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the differences between financial and income tax
reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted rates and
laws.  The Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses for both
financial reporting and income tax purposes.  The Company has recorded a full
valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty
of realizing the related benefits given the Company's limited operating
history.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (UNAUDITED)     




        The following discussion should be read in connection with the
Company's condensed financial statements and related notes  thereto included
in this  quarterly report for the period ended September 28, 1997 and
the Company's registration statement dated November 3, 1997.


OVERVIEW

        The Company was formed in January 1994 as an Ohio corporation to
develop, own and operate upscale, casual theme restaurants under the name
"Hotel Discovery." The Company opened its first restaurant in the Kenwood
Shopping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio in December 1996.  The Company is
presently developing and constructing a unit in the Mall of America in
Bloomington, Minnesota.

        Future revenue and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors,
including market acceptance of the Hotel Discovery concept, the quality of the
restaurant operations, the ability to expand to multi-unit locations and
general economic conditions.  The Company's present sources of revenues are
limited to its existing unit.  There can be no assurances the Company will
successfully implement its expansion plans, in which case it will continue to
be dependent on the revenues from the existing unit.  The Company also faces
all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in
connection with the expansion and development of a new and expanding business. 
Furthermore, to the extent that the Company's expansion strategy is successful,
it must manage the transition to multiple site operations, higher volume
operations, the control of overhead expenses and the addition of necessary
personnel.  The successful implementation of the Company's growth strategy is
contingent upon the satisfaction of various conditions and the occurrence of
certain events, including increased competition, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company.  Based on the Company's limited history, a comparison
of results from period to period is not meaningful.

        The Company has a adopted a 52/53 week accounting period ending on the
Sunday nearest December 31 of each year.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The Company had no revenues or operations during the period from
January 13, 1994 (Inception) to December 19, 1996 (the opening of the Kenwood
Unit). Accordingly, comparisons to periods prior to December 19, 1996 are not
meaningful.


REVENUES

        The Kenwood Unit opened in December 1996.  The Company had revenues of
$839,171 and $2,703,735 for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 28, 1997,
respectively.  In August 1997, the Company began retail sales at the Kenwood
Unit.  Prior to that time the Company had no retail operations.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (UNAUDITED)     





COSTS AND EXPENSES

For the 39 weeks ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996, the Company
had a net loss of $2,623,610 and $1,009,739, respectively, compared with a net
loss of $941,919 and $562,678 for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 1997 and
September 29, 1996, respectively.  The net losses are largely attributable to
concept development and pre-opening costs totaling $936,656 and $522,767 for
the 39 weeks and 13 weeks ended September 28, 1996 respectively and to  
additional expenses incurred as the Company increased its corporate overhead
structure for the development of additional locations supported by revenues
from a single operating unit.  In addition, the Company incurred pre-opening
and development costs of $496,178 and $306,755 for the 39 weeks and 13 weeks
ended September 28, 1997, respectively.  On February 1, 1997 and August 1,
1997, the Company entered into employment agreements with two executive
officers requiring the payment of annual compensation of $200,000 per year for
each executive officer.  These employment agreements, and the continued
increases in the Company's corporate overhead, will impact general and
administrative expenses on an ongoing basis.


OPERATING RESULTS OF THE KENWOOD UNIT

        During the 39 weeks ended September 28, 1997, food and beverage costs
were $864,935 or 32.0% of sales compared with $252,820 or 30.1% of sales for
the 13 weeks ended September 28, 1997.  The improvement in food and beverage
costs as a percentage of sales is due primarily to improved operating
efficiencies.

Labor, benefits and other direct restaurant operating expenses were $2,205,577
or 81.6% of sales during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 1997 compared to
$567,220 or 67.6% of sales during the 13 weeks ended September 28, 1997.  This
improvement in restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of sales is due
primarily to increased sales.

        Although no assurances can be given, management believes that the
Kenwood Unit's current level of sales, trained workforce and general operation
will continue to improve unit level performance in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has met its capital and operating requirements through revenues     
from operations, the sale of Common Stock to and  borrowings from its founder,
bank borrowings, the private placement of Common Stock and the sale of Common
Stock and Warrants to the public in November 1997.  The Company's initial
public offering, which closed in November 1997, raised net proceeds of
approximately $11.2 million

        From November 1996 to July 1997, the Company completed private
placements of an aggregate of 2,392,889 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per
share.  The net proceeds were approximately $5.9 million.  Such proceeds have
been used for new and additional features for the Kenwood Unit, repayment of
indebtedness, working capital and preliminary development costs of the planned
Mall of America Unit.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (UNAUDITED)     


Since inception, the Company's principal capital requirements have been the
funding of (i) the development of the Company and the Hotel Discovery concept,
(ii) the construction of the Kenwood Unit and the acquisition of furniture,
fixtures and equipment therein and (iii) the preliminary development costs of
the Mall of America Unit.  When completed, the Company estimates that capital
expenditures for the Mall of America Unit will approximate $4.5 million, net of
landlord contributions of $1.6 million.  The Mall of America Unit is expected
to be completed and opened in the second quarter of 1998.  As of September 
28, 1997, the costs incurred to date for the Mall of America Unit were $69,000.

        Based on projected cash generated from operations and net proceeds from
the initial public offering, the Company believes it will have sufficient
resources to fund operations and proposed capital expenditures during the next
twelve months.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements.  Certain information included in this Form
10-QSB and other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral
statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company)
contains statements that are "forward-looking" under the Federal Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  A number of important factors could
individually or in aggregate, cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.  Such factors
included, but are not limited to, the following:  competition in the upscale
casual dining market; additional market acceptance of the Company's concept;
consumer spending trends and habits; weather conditions in the regions in which
the Company develops and operates restaurants; costs and risks of construction 
including work stoppage, and availability of new suitable locations; and laws
and regulations affecting labor and employee benefit costs.  For further
information regarding these and other factors, see the Company's registration
statement dated November 3, 1997 related to the offering of Common Stock and
Warrants.
