ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

THE CONCESSION BUSINESS

         The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring and
operating food, beverage and other concessions at airports throughout the
United States. The Company currently has approximately 95 operating
concession facilities at 23 airports, 93 of which are Company owned and two
of which are franchised, including concessions at Los Angeles International
Airport, Denver International Airport, Portland International Airport, and
the airports in Orange County and Ontario, California; Madison and Appleton,
Wisconsin; Lexington, Kentucky; Asheville and Greensboro (Piedmont Triad),
North Carolina; Pittsburgh and Allentown, Pennsylvania; Roanoke, Virginia;
Columbia, South Carolina; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Cedar Rapids and Des
Moines, Iowa; Baton rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana; Midland, Texas; Atlantic
City, New Jersey; Albany, New York; and Saginaw (MBS), Michigan. The airport
contracts include concessions that range from a concession to operate single
and multiple food and beverage outlets to a master concession to operate all
food and beverage, as well as news and gift and merchandise, locations at an
airport. The Company's airport concession business is complemented by
inflight catering contracts awarded to it by major airlines at certain
airports. The Company currently utilizes its existing facilities at airports
to provide fresh meals to airlines. In October 2000 the Company completed
acquisition of an airport concession company located in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. The Company is currently seeking and evaluating additional
concession opportunities at several other airports in the United States and
acquisition of related companies.

         Concessions to operate food and beverage and other retail operations
at domestic airports are generally granted by an airport authority pursuant
to a request for proposal process. Proposals generally contain schematic
drawings for the concession layout, a commitment to make capital improvements
at the concession location, and sample menus. Rent is paid to the airport
authority on the basis of a percentage of sales, with a minimum amount of
rent guaranteed by the concessionaire. For airport locations with a history
of operations, the Company evaluates information concerning historical
revenues for the location to determine the amount to bid for both percentage
and minimum rent. For locations which are newly constructed, the Company
evaluates projections for the number of passengers expected to use the
airport and amounts to be spent per person at airport concessions to form
revenue projections. Given the requirement to make capital improvements, the
Company makes large capital outlays at the beginning of a concession term,
which it seeks to recover during the remaining term. Concessions are usually
awarded for a ten year term. Generally concessions are resubmitted for
proposals at the end of the term and the Company must resubmit a bid to
secure an additional ten year term.

         The Company has secured nearly all of its existing airport concessions
through the request for proposal process. The Company believes its success in
securing concessions through this process is attributable to tailoring its bids
to each specific airport's needs, offering a unique selection of quality food
and beverages, and a distinctive decor. In its proprietary menu items the
Company strives to provide foods which are healthy and higher quality than
typical fast food or cafeteria style products, while maintaining value pricing.
The Company's Bakery/Deli style restaurants feature a selection of croissant
sandwiches and a selection of vegetable, fruit and pasta salads. At locations
which are anticipated to have higher revenues, the Company's strategy is to
secure franchise relationships with nationally recognized food and beverage
companies as part of its proposals. The Company has entered into agreements with
several such companies, including Carl's Jr., Schlotsky's Deli, Nathan's Hotdogs
and TCBY Yogurt. Under these arrangements, the Company owns the concession
rights from the airport authority and the Company's employees operate the
location. The Company then pays franchise fees under a franchise agreement. The
Company's strategy is to continue to develop relationships with a number of
national and regional food and beverage companies, which it expects will provide
the Company with the flexibility to tailor product offerings to meet a
particular airport's desires.

         While the Company has seriously pursued the submission of proposals
only since 1989, it has been successful in a significant number of the proposals
it has submitted. Management attributes this success in winning airport
proposals principally to its efforts to customize each bid, striving to make
creative proposals that address local preferences and distinguish the Company
from its competitors in its offering of decor as well as food products. The
Company focuses on small to medium size airports and has found itself a niche
market. The following are examples of the Company's approaches to the concession
business:

         MASTER CONCESSION: The Company will generally seek to become the master
concessionaire for all airport services, including food and beverage, lounge and
bar, specialty retail, news and gifts, and other services at airports with at
least 400,000 enplanements per year. The Company currently serves as the master
concessionaire at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa airport.

         CAFE AND SPIRITS: If the opportunity for a master concession is not
available, then the Company submits bids utilizing specific food and beverage
concepts, or other service concepts depending on the nature of the concession.
One such concept is "Cafe and Spirits" which features


                                     Page 1
<PAGE>

various branded and nonbranded food and beverages, such as TCBY Yogurt and
Creative Croissants, along with a bar, lounge and mini library. The Company
currently operates Cafe and Spirts formats at all Creative Croissants locations
that serve liquor.

         CREATIVE CROISSANTS-Registered Trademark- BAKERY DELI: The Company can
implement its bakery/deli concept, Creative Croissants, either as a stand alone
concession or as part of a food court, depending on the preference of the
airport authority and the available concession category. The Company currently
operates Creative Croissants at every airport it currently services, with the
exception of the airport in Ontario, California.

         ATTAINING FRANCHISE RIGHTS: For larger concessions, where the airport
desires branded food products, the Company attempts to secure franchise rights
from nationally or regionally recognized food and beverage companies. The
Company has entered into Franchise Agreements with (i) TCBY Yogurt to operate
TCBY franchises at its Lexington, Roanoke, Columbia and Cedar Rapids concession
facilities; (ii) Carl's Jr./Green Burrito to operate franchises at its two
Ontario, California concession facilities which opened in October 1998; (iii)
ICBY to operate ICBY franchises at its Greensboro, Des Moines, Allentown,
Asheville and Sioux Falls concession facilities; (iv) Schlotsky's to operate a
Schlotsky's Deli at Pittsburgh; and (v) Nathan's Hot Dog to operate franchises
at various airports. The Company may in the future purchase and operate
franchises from other major food or beverage franchisors to include in its bid
proposals.

         ACQUISITION OF OTHER CONCESSIONAIRES: The Company has also sought to
expand its physical presence at airports by acquiring existing concessionaires
with one or more airport locations. Generally, the airport authority overseeing
the operations at the airport will have the right under the existing concession
agreement to approve the change in control. The strengths the Company
demonstrates in the request for proposal process are used to secure the consent
of an airport authority to a transfer of concession rights in an acquisition of
an existing location. The Company has typically negotiated for an extension of
the concession term in exchange for additional capital improvements or
additional facilities or menu items to be offered at the concession location as
part of securing the airport authority's consent to the transfer.

         In October 2000, the company completed the acquisition of Gladco
Enterprises, an airport concessions company from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with
annual revenues of approximately $10 million. The Company's strategy is to
expand its concession business to more airports in the United States, and
eventually to other public venues. The Company also intends to seek to expand
the types of concession services which it provides, and to be awarded more
multiple and master concession contracts such as the one it has been awarded for
the Cedar Rapids, Iowa airport. While the Company has historically focused on
the food and beverage segment, it intends to seek concession awards to provide
news stands, gift shops, specialty stores and other services to augment the
Company's food and beverage business at airports and other venues.

         Prior to the Company's initial public offering in July 1997, the
Company qualified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise ("DBE") based on Mr.
Ali's ownership of all of the Company's common stock. The Company's historical
success in securing concession locations may have been partially attributed to
its DBE status. The impact of the initial public offering on the Company's
status as a DBE and the impact of any such potential loss of DBE status on its
ability to secure new concession locations is unclear. To the extent that the
Company's historic rate of success in securing new airport concessions was
partially attributable to its status as a DBE, that growth rate may decline if
the Company is not recognized as a DBE or if DBE programs are eliminated or
curtailed.

         In analyzing a concession opportunity, particularly in the airport
industry, the Company evaluates the following factors, among others: (1) the
estimated rate of return on the investment in the facilities, (2) the historical
performance of the location, (3) the historical and estimated future number of
annual enplanements at the airport, (4) the competition in the vicinity of the
proposed facility, (5) the rent and common area maintenance charges for the
proposed facilities and (6) the length of the proposed concession term. In
customizing the design proposal and theme for a concession opportunity, the
Company analyzes the character of the community and the expected preferences of
the patrons (for example, whether they are primarily tourists or business
persons) to determine the most attractive facility. The scope of the contract
and the size and shape of the site are other elements considered in the
analysis.

         As part of any proposal or acquisition, the Company receives
information concerning any historical operations conducted at the specific
location. Generally, an airport authority will provide three years of historical
information for a location with its request for proposal. Similarly, in an
acquisition transaction, the Company will review a target operator's historical
performance as part of its due diligence review. In either scenario, the Company
then evaluates the estimated impact on revenues and gross margins that will
result from any remodeling, capital improvements and menu changes. Where the
concession location is to be newly constructed, such as at the Ontario,
California, airport, the Company reviews estimates of passenger enplanements for
the new terminals and amounts typically spent per passenger at concessions.


                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

         Once the Company has been awarded a concession contract at an airport,
it is generally scheduled to assume the management of the existing facilities
within 90 to 120 days after the award, or to commence construction of an
entirely new facility within three to six months after the award. The Company is
generally required to place three types of bonds with an airport authority
before it may take over operations at a concession. In connection with its bid,
it is occasionally required to post a bond for the amount of capital
improvements it is committed to make at the airport. During commencement of
construction for any specific construction project, the Company is required to
post a construction bond for the specific facilities to be constructed. This
bond terminates upon completion of each specific project and the bond for all of
the capital improvements expires upon completion of all capital improvements for
the airport. In addition, the Company is required to post a performance bond to
cover some specified percentage of the Company's minimum rent obligations. This
bond remains in place during the term of the concession. To date the Company has
not experienced significant difficulty in securing bonds for its obligations to
various airport authorities. The Company's bonding capacity is limited by its
size, and has therefore limited the projects on which it could bid. If the
Company continues to grow, it anticipates increasing its bonding capacity and
the ability to bid for larger projects at the largest domestic airports.

         Typically the Company operates an existing facility for two to three
months before beginning the remodeling of the site according to the
specifications in its airport bid proposal. During the remodeling phase of an
existing facility, which usually takes 45 to 60 days, the facility is either
closed or serves at minimal levels. Once the remodeling is completed, the
facility opens for full service, generally for most hours during which the
airport is actively operating.

         Inflight catering has traditionally generated higher gross profit
margins than the Company's airport concession business. Consequently, management
intends to expand its inflight catering services. The Company currently has
inflight catering contracts with several major airlines at specific airports,
including Delta Airlines, U.S. Air, United Airlines and Northwest Airlines. The
Company also provides inflight catering services for charter flights. The
Company intends to continue to bid on direct inflight catering contracts with
airlines as it expands into new airport locations. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in this market.

ACQUISITION OF GLADCO ENTERPRISES, INC.

         On October 9, 2000, Creative Host Services, Inc. ("CHST") completed the
closing of the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. ("Gladco"), a company
located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that currently manages concessions in four
airports.

         CHST completed the acquisition of Gladco in accordance with the terms
of a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). In accordance with the
Purchase Agreement, CHST acquired 100% of the stock of Gladco, HLG Acquisition
Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation and an affiliate of Gladco, and HLG
Franchise Marketing Company, a Pennsylvania limited partnership and an affiliate
of Gladco, from Edwin L. Klett, Louis Coccoli, Jr., Herbert H. Gill and the
Virgil A. Gladieux Marital Trust (collectively, the "Sellers") in consideration
for an aggregate amount equal to $7,000,000 (subject to adjustments as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement), payable as follows: (i) $300,000 in cash which had
been prepaid as a deposit, (ii) the payment of all outstanding principal and
accrued interest of, or assumption of obligations and liabilities as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement which were not in excess of $2,500,000; (iii) the
issuance of shares (the "Shares") of CHST common stock equal to $500,000 divided
by the average of the closing prices of CHST Stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap
exchange for each of the thirty trading days ending two days prior to closing of
the transaction (this resulted in an average price of $7.18, which resulted in
69,638 shares issued); and (iv) approximately $3.7 million in cash. CHST agreed
to register the Shares on Form S-3. The total issued shares to the Sellers was
approximately 0.1% of the issued and outstanding stock of CHST immediately after
the acquisition.

         CHST agreed to permit the Sellers to elect, by written notice to CHST,
to require CHST to repurchase the shares when they are freely tradeable and
registered at a price equal to the per share issuance price times the number of
shares repurchased.

         CHST also agreed to increase the purchase price at any time up to one
year from closing by (i) $280,000 upon execution of a definitive lease,
sub-lease or other operating agreement with respect to each of the two retail
sites and commercial operations at the Newark, New Jersey International Airport;
(ii) $295,000 upon execution of a definitive lease, sub-lease or other operating
agreement with respect to each of the two retail sites and commercial operations
at the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania International Airport; and (iii) $120,000 upon
execution of a definitive lease, sub-lease or other operating agreement with
respect to each of the two retail sites and commercial operations at the
Rensselaer Railroad Station in Albany, New York.

         CHST agreed to employ Mr. Coccoli in an executive capacity and as
President of Gladco.


                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

         The consideration exchanged pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement was
negotiated between Gladco and CHST.

         In evaluating Gladco as a candidate for the acquisition, CHST used
criteria such as the value of the airport concession assets of Gladco, its
airport relationships, cash flows, potential growth and its history with the
various airport operations. Creative Host Services determined that the
consideration for the merger was reasonable.

         CHST obtained part of the funds for the acquisition of Gladco by the
sale of approximately $2,500,000 in 7% Convertible Debentures due September 26,
2003 (the "Debentures") to GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited. The purchase
price of the Debentures was 95% of the principal amount, or $2,375,000. The
Debentures are convertible at the lower of 110% of the volume weighted average
sales price of CHST common stock on the day immediately preceding closing or 85%
of the five lowest volume weighted average sales prices of the CHST common stock
during the 25 days immediately preceding the date of a notice of conversion.
CHST also issued 125,000 warrants to purchase CHST common stock to GCA Strategic
Investment Fund at an exercise price of 102% of the closing bid price on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date. The exercise price of the warrants is
$6.85 per share. CHST agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Debentures and the shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants on Form S-3. The agreements provide certain negative covenants
requiring compliance with terms by CHST and are adjustable upon certain events.

         As part of the financing by GCA Strategic Investment Fund, CHST
negotiated for and obtained the right to pay off the GCA investment through
alternative financings. CHST presently intends to seek to repay the GCA
investment no later than the end of October 2001. As of March 26, 2001, Global
Capital has converted approximately $300,000 of the debentures to CHST common
stock.

         CHST intends to continue the historical businesses and proposed
businesses of Gladco.

         Gladco Enterprises, Inc. ("Gladco") is a Pittsburgh-based hospitality
and service company with $10.5 million in annual revenues, that operates food
and beverage concessions in four international airports, including Pittsburgh
International; Atlantic City International; Albany International, in New York;
and M.B.S. International in Freeland, Michigan. The Company operates 22
individual concessions within those airports. Those concessions, combined with
CHST's current concessions, give the combined companies locations in a total of
25 airports nationally, and approximately 95 overall concessions within those
airports. The Gladco acquisition also improves each company's available
co-branding product mix.

         The Creative Host/Gladco business combination is both strategic and
synergistic, providing an experienced management team, heightened East Coast
presence, and creates an infrastructure that provides efficient management,
setting the stage for additional growth both internally and through acquisition.
With the Company's ability to raise equity, combined with years of experience of
Mr. Coccoli and Mr. Ali, it may open the doors for further opportunities.

         Upon completion of the acquisition, Gladco became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CHST, with no noticeable change to any of Gladco's storefronts,
method of operation or Gladco's current management team, led by 30-year industry
veteran, Louis Coccoli, Jr., who will remain President of Gladco. Through the
acquisition, CHST quickly enhanced its presence on the East Coast through
representation by Gladco's corporate office in Pittsburgh.

         Gladco currently manages concessions in four airports. The Company has
also signed a letter of intent for two store locations in the Newark, New Jersey
International Airport, with projected annual sales of more than $3.7 million. In
addition to its own signature facilities, Gladco operates several national
brands, including Schlotzky's Deli, Hot Licks Bar & Grill and Samuel Adams Brew
Pub, and has an exclusive agreement with Yuengling Brewery, the oldest brewery
in the United States.

         The combined companies are expected to realize the benefits of having
East Coast and West Coast offices, providing geographically appealing
management, operations consolidation, additional industry contacts and clout,
and creativity enhancements from combined co-branding and airport concessions
experience. As a company, Gladco has focused its bids to include bar and lounge
services that return higher margins than typical food service concessions, which
compliments CHST's existing operations.

         Creative Host Services, Inc./ Gladco Enterprises, Inc. are engaged in
the business of acquiring, managing and operating airport concessions such as
food and beverage, news and gift, and other concessions throughout the United
States. In addition, the Company also provides in-flight catering to certain
national airlines at 9 of its airport locations and also manages Airline Clubs.
Six of the Company's 95 operating concessions are food-courts, each consisting
of several food and beverage restaurants that are located within each court. If
the various food courts were separated and counted as individual concessions,
Creative Host/Gladco operate approximately 95 concessions overall. To simplify
accounting, the Company counts these food-courts as one concession. Creative
Host Services, Inc. enjoys co-branding relationships with several


                                     Page 4

national and regional companies such as Carl's Jr., Schlotzky's Deli, TCBY
Yogurt, Samuel Adams Brew Pubs, Mrs. Fields Cookies, Pretzelmaker, Nathan's
Famous Hotdogs, and Hot Licks Bar & Grill.

----------------------

(1)      The Company is currently the sole food and beverage concessionaire at
         this airport.

(2)      Delta Airlines, the owner of the airport terminal, has reserved the
         right under its concession agreement with the Company to recapture the
         premises upon 30 days notice and payment for the Company's
         improvements.

(3)      The airport retains the right under the concession to recapture the
         premises upon payment for the Company's improvements.

(4)      After the initial year of the term, the airport authority has the right
         to terminate the concession upon payment to the Company of its
         "remaining business interest" in the concession.

(5)      After June 2001, this concession can be terminated by the airport upon
         90 days notice.

(6)      This concession was acquired by The Company when it purchased Gladco
         Enterprises, Inc.


FOOD PREPARATION CENTER

         The Company has contracted an outside firm to manufacture its bakery
products. Using the Company's proprietary recipes, several bakery items are
prepared at a central location and sold at the Creative Host concessions and at
franchise restaurants, including regular croissants, croissants filled with
meat, cheeses and vegetables, pastries, muffins and other bakery foods. The
bakery foods are prepared, frozen in dough form and shipped to concessions and
franchisees where they are baked and served on a daily basis.

         The Company has entered into an agreement with Sysco Food Services
Corporation ("Sysco") All of the purchasing for the concession locations, except
for certain perishable items such as dairy and produce, is done through Sysco
with the goal of achieving uniform cost of goods and centralized cost controls.

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS

         From 1986 through 1994, the Company was actively engaged in the
business of franchising restaurants under the "Creative Croissant" name. The
Company's restaurant franchise business was not successful, and, in 1990, the
Company began the transition to company-owned airport concessions that is the
major focus of its current business plan. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS." The Company
continues to have franchise relationships with 4 restaurant franchisees,
excluding the JFK and Orange County airport concessions which are operated by a
franchisee.

         The Company expects its revenues from franchising (approximately
0.2% of total revenues for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000)
to remain unchanged or decline over time as the Company concentrates on
expanding its concession business and establishing more Company owned
facilities at airports and other public venues. If the Company is able to
establish a greater national brand name presence, through its airport and
other concession business, then it may devote some resources to the
development of the franchising segment of its business. In the meantime, it
may continue to sell franchises in special situations when a franchise would
be more advantageous to the Company than a Company owned facility, when
financing is not otherwise available, or generally in situations that do not
involve concession contracts.

MARKETING AND SALES

         The Company's marketing strategy involves two fundamental components:
(i) securing the concession and (ii) increasing sales once the concession has
been granted. The Company plans to continue to concentrate its marketing and
sales efforts on acquiring high volume concessions at airports and evaluating
other public venues with high, captive pedestrian traffic such as sports
stadiums, public libraries, zoos and theme parks throughout the United States.
For the near future, the Company intends to focus on the approximately 123
airports in the United States with over 400,000 enplanements per year. In those
smaller regional airports, the Company, whenever possible, will seek to be the
master concessionaire for all concession operations conducted at such airports.

         The Company targets the airport concession business through its
presence at airport authority association meetings and trade shows, its
network of existing relationships in the airport business community, and its
submission of bids in response to requests for proposals ("RFPs") by
airports. By continually monitoring the availability of RFPs at airports
throughout the nation, the Company seeks to be involved in every RFP that is
economically feasible. In bidding for concessions, the Company focuses on
those airports with locations indicating that the concession will earn annual
gross revenues of $500,000 to $2,000,000. Once a concession has been
targeted, the Company develops a customized bid tailored to address a theme
or culture specific to the concession location. Management is currently
working with airport managers to design unique and exciting food court areas
with a variety of food choices, comfortable seating and self-serve options
without the inconveniences of traditional restaurants. The Company's
proposals for airports include children's play areas, reading areas,
mini-libraries and computer services.

         The Company has developed several marketing techniques for its
Creative Host concession locations to encourage sales and to provide
additional sources of revenues. To compete within an airport, the Creative
Host approach is to combine aroma and showmanship with high quality fresh and
nutritious foods at value prices to attract customers. The Company's food and
beverage facilities have traditionally been designed with a European flair
for fresh, healthy and nutritious gourmet and specialty foods, served quickly
and at value prices. The company is deversifying into agreements with renowned
food and beverage suppliers such as Carls Jr., Schlotzky's and TCBY Yogurt.
The food and beverage concessions sell gourmet coffee beans as gift packages,
colorful sports bottles and thermal coffee mugs featuring the "Creative
Croissants-Registered Trademark-" logo and key menu items, custom gift
baskets and other promotional merchandise.

COMPETITION

         The concession industry is extremely competitive and there are numerous
competitors with greater resources and more experience than the Company. The
dominant competitors in the airport concession market are Host Marriott Services
Corporation ("Host Marriott") and CA One Services, Inc. ("CA One Services"),
which have been serving the airport concession market for decades. Host Marriott
and CA One Services have established a marketing strategy of offering
comprehensive concession services to airport authorities in which they submit a
bid on an entire airport or terminal complex, and often provide a well known
franchise such as McDonalds or Burger King as part of their package. They
generally operate large airport master concessions with annual sales in excess
of $2.2 million.

         Other formidable competitors in the concession business, especially
food and beverage, include Service America Corporation, Anton Food, Concession
International, Air Host, Inc. Other competitors such as Paradies and W.H. Smith
compete with the Company in the airport retail concession services market. Dobbs
International and Sky Chefs, LSG dominate the inflight catering business.

         The Company is focusing initially on smaller airport concessions where
competition from large competitors is less intense. However, there are a limited
number of concession opportunities domestically. If the Company achieves greater
penetration in regional airports, it will be required to enter into larger
domestic airports, or other venues to sustain its growth. Entry into larger
domestic airports will necessarily involve direct competition with Host Marriott
and CA One Services.

         The Company strives to differentiate itself in all markets with the
design and product mix it offers to each particular airport. The Company designs
its concession bids and facilities around unique themes or concepts that it
develops for each location. In this manner, the Company seeks to appeal to
airport authorities that are seeking individual bidders with interesting and
creative food concepts, both to boost the airport's income from percentage rents
and to enhance the look and reputation of the airport and the cities it serves.
The Company also offers a variety of food concepts with an emphasis on fresh
foods and high quality, while maintaining a value-oriented prices.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         The airport concession business is subject to the review and approval
of government or quasi government agencies with respect to awarding concession
contracts. In addition, food and beverage concessions are subject to the same
rigorous health, safety and labor regulations that apply to all restaurants and
food manufacturing facilities. Concession businesses are also subject to labor
and safety regulations at the local, state and federal level. Concessions
granted by airport authorities and other public agencies may also be subject to
the special rules and regulations of that agency, including rules relating to
architecture, design, signage, operating hours, staffing and other matters.
Failure to comply with any of these regulations could result in fines or the
loss of a concession agreement.

         The Federal Aviation Administration requires airports receiving federal
funds to award contracts for concession facilities producing at least 10% of
total airport concession revenue to certain designated categories of entities
that qualify as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises ("DBE"). The federal
requirements do not specify the nature or manner in which the DBE must
participate. Historically, companies in the industry have relied on hiring DBE
employees, purchasing provisions from DBE suppliers, contracting for services
from DBEs or subcontracting a portion of the concession to a DBE in order to
meet this requirement. When the Company entered the airport concession business,
its Common Stock was owned entirely by Mr. Sayed Ali. As a result, the Company
qualified as a DBE. The Company's status as a DBE assisted it in securing
concession awards with several airports, and some of the Company's concession
agreements specify that it will retain its DBE status. As a result of the
Company's initial public offering, Mr. Ali's ownership in the Company decreased
to approximately 30%. It is unclear what impact this will have on the Company's
status as a DBE. The Company has succeeded in securing airport concession
contracts at 8 additional locations since its initial public offering, although
the Company is not aware of the extent to which the Company's DBE status, or
lack thereof, was a factor in the airport authorities' decisions to award such
contracts to the Company. The Company will have to address the issue on an
airport by airport basis. If necessary, the Company will comply with a
particular airport's request for additional DBE participation through the
industry practice of hiring or contracting with other DBEs. The Company believes
that it will retain its existing locations and can continue to secure new
concessions on the basis of the products and services it offers and its industry
reputation. To the extent the Company's historic rate of success in securing
airport concessions is attributable to its clear status as a DBE, its growth
rate may decline.

         The restaurant industry and food manufacturing businesses are highly
regulated by federal, state and local governmental agencies. Restaurants must
comply with health and sanitation regulations, and are periodically inspected
for compliance. Labor laws apply to the employment of restaurant workers,
including such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and working
conditions. The Americans With Disabilities Act applies to the Company's
facilities prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability with respect to
accommodations and employment. Food preparation facilities must comply with the
regulations of the United States Department of Agriculture, as well as state and
local health standards.

         Franchising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and by certain
state agencies, including the California Department of Corporations. In
addition, the California Franchising Law contains specific restrictions and
limitations on the relationship between franchisors and franchisees. Franchisors
such as the Company must file an annual Franchise Offering Circular with the
Federal Trade Commission and certain states (many states do not regulate the
offer and sale of franchises) every year.

EMPLOYEES

         The Company has over 750 employees, including 22 in administration. The
employees include approximately 250 who were employed by Gladco Enterprises,
Inc. when the Company acquired Gladco in October 2000. As the Company expands
and opens more concessions, the Company anticipates hiring additional personnel
including administrative personnel commensurate with growth. The Company does
not have a collective bargaining agreement with its employees and is not aware
of any material labor disputes.

SEASONALITY

         The Company's concession operations are expected to experience moderate
seasonality during the course of each year, corresponding with traditional air
travel patterns which generally increase from the first quarter through the
fourth quarter.

TRADEMARKS

         The Company has one registered trademark with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office on the Principal Register, registered as "Creative
Croissants-Registered Trademark-." In addition, the Company is in the process of
filing trademark applications to register the names "Creative Host Services,
Inc." and as its business develops, the Company plans to continue to


                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

develop merchandising of trademark products, such as clothing, drinking bottles,
mugs and other similar products, utilizing its service marks and trademarks in
order to generate additional revenues. The Company's policy is to pursue
registrations of its marks wherever possible. The Company is not aware of any
infringing uses that could materially affect its business or any prior claim to
the trademarks that would prevent the Company from using such trademarks in its
business.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

         The Company's executive offices are located in a 8,334 square foot
facility at 6335 Ferris Square, Suites G-H, San Diego, California. The combined
facility is covered by a five-year lease terminating April 15, 2002 with monthly
payments of $5,674 plus common area maintenance charges. The Company has one
option to extend the term for an additional five-year period.

         The Company also leases space as part of its airports concession
operations. In addition, the Company occasionally leases restaurant space which
it assigns to operators in connection with franchise operations.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There were no material legal proceedings to which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries was a party in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, other
than its dispute with Cap Ex, L.P., an investment firm that provided financing
to the Company in December 1998. The Company repaid the financing in its
entirety in March 2000. Nevertheless Cap Ex, L.P. claimed that it was owed
additional warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. In January 2001,
the Company settled the litigation with Cap Ex, L.P.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2000.


                                     PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
          STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         The Company's Common Stock trades on the NASDAQ Market under the symbol
CHST. The Company completed its initial public offering on July 22, 1997 and its
stock began trading on the Exchange at that time. The number of recordholders of
the Common Stock was 97 on March 26, 2001. The Company believes that there are a
significant number of beneficial owners of its Common Stock whose shares are
held in "street name." The closing sales price of the Common Stock on March 26,
2001 was $1 7/16 per share. The following chart sets forth, for the fiscal
period indicated, the high and low closing sales prices for the Company's Common
Stock.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HISTORICAL MATTERS, THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN THIS
COMMENTARY ARE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, STATEMENTS
CONCERNING ANTICIPATED TRENDS IN REVENUES, THE FUTURE MIX OF COMPANY REVENUES,
THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO REDUCE CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES AS A PERCENTAGE
OF TOTAL REVENUES, THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO REDUCE GENERAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL SALES, AND THE POTENTIAL
INCREASE IN NET INCOME AND CASH FLOW. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN SUCH FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.
FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE THE INABILITY
TO OBTAIN THE SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CAPITAL NECESSARY TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION
OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AWARDED UNDER EXISTING CONCESSION AGREEMENTS, POSSIBLE
EARLY TERMINATION OF EXISTING CONCESSION CONTRACTS, POSSIBLE DELAY IN THE
COMMENCEMENT OF CONCESSION OPERATIONS AT NEWLY AWARDED CONCESSION FACILITIES,
THE NEED AND ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED MANAGEMENT TO MANAGE
OPERATIONS, THE NEED TO OBTAIN CONTINUING APPROVALS FROM GOVERNMENT REGULATORY
AUTHORITIES, THE TERM AND CONDITIONS OF ANY POTENTIAL MERGER OR ACQUISITION OF
EXISTING AIRPORT CONCESSION OPERATIONS, AND THE PRIOR AND POTENTIAL VOLATILITY
OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

OVERVIEW

         The Company commenced business in 1987 as an owner, operator and
franchisor of French style cafes featuring hot meal croissants, fresh roasted
gourmet coffee, fresh salads and pastas, fruit filled pastries, muffins and
other bakery products. The Company currently has 4 restaurant franchises which
operate independently from its airport concession business. The restaurant
franchise business has never been profitable for the Company. The company has
not sold a new franchise since 1994.

         In 1990, the Company entered the airport food and beverage
concession market when it was awarded a concession to operate a food and
beverage location for John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, which
is currently operated by a franchisee. In 1994, the Company was awarded its
first multiple concession contract for the Denver International Airport,
where it was awarded a second concession in 1994 and two subsequent
concessions in 1995. The success of the franchisees operating the Orange
County and Denver International Airport concessions prompted the Company to
enter into the airport concession business. Since 1994, the Company has
opened 95 concession locations at 24 airports. In 1996, the Company was
awarded its first master concession contract for the airport in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, where it has the right to install and manage all food, beverage, news,
gift and other services.

         As a result of this transition in its business, the Company's
historical revenues have been derived from three principal sources: airport
concession revenues, restaurant franchise royalties and wholesale sales from
its food preparation center. These revenue categories comprise a fluctuating
percentage of total revenues from year to year. Over the past six years,
revenues from concession operations have grown from 59% of total revenues in
1995 to 99% of total revenues in 2000.

         The Company had working capital for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2000 of $(613,753) compared to $(1,343,912) for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999. Capital improvement costs incurred to meet the
requirements of new airport concession contracts and the acquisition of
Gladco have placed demands on the Company's working capital. During the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, the Company raised $8,437,430 in
capital through the sale of its Common Stock in private placements made
during the year and the exercise of stock options and stock purchase
warrants, and borrowed an additional $2,000,000 through the issuance of 7%
Convertible Debentures. A substantial percentage of the 462,000 outstanding
warrants issued during the Company's initial public offering were exercised
at $5.40 per share, resulting in additional capital of $2,313,900. On the
other hand, the Company utilized $6,500,000 of capital to pay for the
purchase of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. in October 2000.

         The Company may have capital requirements in 2001 to finance the
construction of new airport concessions, restaurants and other concession
related businesses such as news & gifts, specialty, inflight catering and other
services. In this regard, the Company will have additional capital requirements
to the extent that it wins additional contracts from its current and future
airport concession bids.

</TABLE>

         FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1999

         REVENUES. The Company's gross revenues for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000 were $23,725,859 compared to $18,176,951, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999. Revenues from concession activities increased
$5,588,594 ($23,506,452 compared to $17,917,858) and food preparation center
sales decreased $17,220 (from $188,683 to $171,463) while franchise royalties
declined $22,466 (from $70,410 to $47,944), for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2000 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Substantially
all of the increase in concession activities is attributable to same stores
revenue increases and the acquisition of the Gladco locations.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. The cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000 was $7,368,000 compared to $5,764,769 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, the cost of goods
sold was 31% in 2000 and 32% in 1999. The improvement in cost of goods sold as a
percentage of revenue is due to efficiencies at existing locations and the
consolidation of purchasing with Sysco.

         OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 were $15,528,001, compared to $12,002,547
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Payroll expenses increased from
$5,913,200 in 1999 to $7,575,967 in 2000. As a percentage of total revenues,
payroll expense was 33% in 1999 and decreased to 32% in 2000. The Company
expects payroll expenses to increase in total dollar amounts with the
addition of new concession facilities, but to decrease modestly as a
percentage of revenues if existing facilities operate more efficiently and
the Company reaps the benefits of recently implemented cost controzl
measures. General and administrative expenses increased from $2,199,910 in
1999 to $3,053,438 in 2000, and remained the same as a percentage of total
revenues at 12% for 1999 and 2000. The increase was attributable primarily to
increases in administrative staff. The Company will continue to add
additional administrative staff commensurate with its growth but expects
general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of total
revenues.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 was $977,612 compared to $882,906 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense was 5%
in 1999 and decreased to 4% in 2000 due to the retirement of the Cap Ex debt
in the last quarter of 1999 and first quarter of 2000. $352,941 of the
interest expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was a one-time
charge due to the beneficial conversion feature of the Global Capital note.
Without this one-time charge, interest expense as a percentage of total
revenue was 2% in 2000.

         NET INCOME (LOSS). Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 was $(68,328) compared to a net loss of $(579,758) for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 was $284,613 beore the one-time non-cash charge due to the valuation of
the Global Capital Note. Management attributes the decrease in net loss to
increased efficiencies at existing stores and the acquisition of Gladco.

                                    Page 11

         SAME STORE SALES. The Company operated locations at sixteen airports
during both the full fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000.
Sales for those locations were $17,029,060 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1999 and $18,314,941 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
representing an increase of $1,285,881, or 7.6%.

         FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998

         REVENUES. The Company's gross revenues for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 were $18,176,951 compared to $14,720,350, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998. Revenues from concession activities increased
$3,931,842 ($17,917,858 compared to $13,986,016) and food preparation center
sales decreased $488,117 ($188,683 compared to 676,800) while franchise
royalties increased $12,876 ($70,410 compared to $57,534). Substantially all of
the increase in concession activities is attributable to full year operations
for the concession locations opened during fiscal 1998 and partial year
operations for an additional three concession locations which opened during
fiscal 1999.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. The cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1999 was $5,764,769 compared to $4,446,203 for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, the cost of goods
sold was 32% in 1999 and 30% 1998. Costs of goods sold is typically high for a
newly opened concession facility as the Company gathers information concerning
requirements for the specific location. Since the product is perishable,
adjustments to production level effects both sales and costs of sales. As the
Company improves accuracy of production and reduces the waste problem created by
training, cost of sales will improve. As a result, the Company expects costs of
goods sold to decline slightly as a percentage of sales as newly added stores
obtain operating data.

         OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 were $12,002,547 compared to $9,692,476
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Payroll expenses increased from
$5,054,800 in 1998 to $5,913,200 in 1999. As a percentage of total revenues,
payroll expense was 34% in 1998 and decreased to 33% in 1999. The Company
expects payroll expenses to increase in total dollar amounts with the
addition of new concession facilities, but to decrease modestly as a percent
of revenues as newly opened facilities operate more efficiently and the
Company reaps the benefits of recently implemented cost control measures.
General and administrative expenses increased from $1,826,168 in 1998 to
$2,199,910 in 1999, and remained the same as a percentage of total revenues
at 12%. The Company will continue to add additional administrative staff
commensurate with its growth but expected general and administrative expenses
to continue to decline as a percentage of total revenues.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998 was $84,839 compared to $977,612 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense was 1% in 1998 and
increased to 5% in 1999 due to interest related to concession improvements.

         NET INCOME (LOSS). Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999 was $(579,758) compared to net income of $480,532 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998. Operating income decreased in 1999 to $409,635
compared to $581,671 in 1998. Management attributes the decrease in net
income mainly due to the following factors (a) costs incurred due to the
conversion of $3,000,000 note, (b) the original unamortized costs that were
incurred due to the conversion of related debt, and (c) penalties, interest
and other fees. As a result of this the Company has reduced its debt by 43%
and interest expense by 39%. Other factors that contributed to the net loss
are (1) the costs of opening a number of new concessions, (2) management has
adopted a change in reporting to comply with changes in its' application of
FASB rules regarding the capitalization of certain expenses incurred during
the start up of new concessions. The company no longer capitalizes Training
Expenses, Food Costs related to training, and other expansion items and (3)
Management retained a Firm to renegotiate a pool of a number of small leases
(totaling $885,542) with comparatively high interest rates into larger,
singular master leases with comparatively lower interest rates. A one time
charge has been incurred for this service.

         SAME STORE SALES. The Company operated thirteen locations during both
the full fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999. Sales for
those locations were $12,151,747 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and
$13,484,790 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, representing an
increase of $1,333,042, or 9.9%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 the Company raised a
total of $8,437,430 of equity capital through the issuance of a total of
2,144,266 shares of the Company's common stock in private placements of its
securities and the exercise of stock options and stock purchase warrants. The
Company also borrowed a total of $2,000,000 through the issuance of 7%
Convertible Debentures Due September 26, 2003 to a single institutional
investor. The purchase price of the Debentures was 95% of the principal
amount, or $1,900,000. The Debentures are convertible at the lower of 110%
of the volume weighted average sales price of the Company's common stock on
the day immediately preceding closing or 85% of the five lowest volume
weighted average sales prices of the Company's common stock during the 25
days immediately preceding the date of a notice of conversion. The Company
has registered a total of 150% of the number of shares into which it
estimates the Debentures would be converted if they were converted at the
current market price. The Company also issued to the lender 125,000 warrants
to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price of 102% of the
closing bid price on the day immediately preceding the closing date. The
exercise price of those warrants is $6.86 per share. The Company utilized
$6,500,000 of equity capital to pay the purchase price for Gladco
Enterprises, Inc. and $2,198,128 to repay the balance of the $3,000,000
original principal amount payable on the Company's 12% Convertible Debentures
due. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2000,

                                    Page 12
<PAGE>

the Company had working capital of $(688,503). The Company may need to raise
additional working capital in Fiscal 2001.

         When the Company is awarded a new concession facility, it is
generally committed to expend a negotiated amount for capital improvements to
the facility. In addition, the Company is responsible for acquiring equipment
necessary to conduct its operations. As a result, the Company incurs
substantial expenses for capital improvements at the commencement of a
concession term. Generally, however, the term of the concession grant will be
for a period of 10 years, providing the Company an opportunity to recover its
capital expenditures. Substantially all of the Company's concession locations
have been obtained in the past 3 years, which has resulted in significant
capital needs. As a result, the Company has been required to seek capital,
and to apply capital from operations, for the construction of capital
improvements at newly awarded concession locations. The Company intends to
continue to bid for concession locations, including bidding on larger
proposals. Anticipated cash flows from operations will not be sufficient to
finance new acquisitions at the level of growth that the Company has
experienced over the past two years. Accordingly, to the extent the Company
is successful in securing new concession contracts, the Company will continue
to need additional capital, in addition to cash flow from operations, in
order to finance the construction of capital improvements.

         The Company anticipates capital requirements of approximately $1.5
million in Fiscal 2001 to complete the construction of improvements at
concession facilities which it has already been awarded.

         The Company may have more capital requirements than anticipated during
2001 if the Company wins additional bids or acquires additional airport
concession facilities. The Company is continually evaluating other airport
concession opportunities, including submitting bid proposals and acquiring
existing concession owners and operators. The level of its capital requirements
will depend upon the number of airport concession facilities which are subject
to bid, as well as the number and size of any potential acquisition candidates
which arise. There is no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital
to finance its growth and business operations or that such capital will be
available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all.

Creative Host Services, Inc. and Subsidiary
San Diego, California


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Creative Host
Services, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of income (operations), shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Creative Host
Services, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   CREATIVE HOST SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000




(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

               Creative Host Services, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1986
               to acquire the operating assets of Creative Croissants, Inc.,
               which consisted of a food preparation center in San Diego and two
               French-style cafes featuring hot meal croissants, muffins, pastas
               and salads. The cafes were acquired in May 1987 and the food
               preparation center was acquired in April 1988 in transactions
               accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In 1989,
               the Company commenced franchising operations, licensing its
               trademarks to third parties, who agreed to purchase baked goods
               from the Company's food preparation center under franchise
               arrangements with the Company, and earned an initial franchise
               fee, a royalty based upon sales, and in some cases advertising
               and marketing fees as a percentage of gross sales. In 1995, the
               Company began operating company owned food and beverage
               concessions at airports and commenced certain in-flight catering
               sales. The accompanying financial statements include the
               operations of Company-owned concessions (mainly at various
               airports across the United States), revenues earned from
               franchisees and operations from its wholesale food preparation
               activities.

               Effective October 9, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the
               outstanding stock of GladCo Enterprises, Inc., a Pennsylvania
               corporation, the outstanding shares of HLG Acquisition
               Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation and the outstanding
               limited partnership interest in HLG Franchise Marketing Company
               for $7.3 million.

        PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

               The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
               accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, GladCo
               Enterprises, Inc. All material intercompany accounts have been
               eliminated in consolidation.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION:

               Concession revenues are recorded as the sales are made; sales
               from the food preparation center are recorded upon shipment and
               revenues from in-flight catering are recorded upon delivery.
               Revenues from the initial sale of individual franchises are
               recognized, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts and any
               commissions to outside brokers, when substantially all
               significant services to be provided by the Company have been
               performed.

        USE OF ESTIMATES:

               The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
               generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
               make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
               of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
               liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
               reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
               period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

See accompanying independent auditors' report.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000


(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

        FAIR VALUE:

               Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported
               assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments
               (none of which are held for trading purposes) approximate the
               carrying values of such amounts.

        INVENTORY:

               Inventory, consisting principally of foodstuffs and supplies, is
               valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

               Property and equipment are recorded at cost, including interest
               on funds to finance the construction of concession locations.
               Such interest amounted to approximately $23,000 and $24,000
               during 2000 and 1999, respectively. For financial statement
               purposes, depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line
               method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

<TABLE>
                          <S>                                                               <C>
                          Office equipment                                                   10   years
                          Restaurant concession and commissary equipment                     10   years
                          Excess of cost over fair value assigned to net assets               5   years
</TABLE>

               Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful lives of the
               improvements, or terms of the leases, whichever is shorter.

        DEBT WITH STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS:

               The proceeds received from debt issued with stock purchase
               warrants is allocated between the debt and the warrants, based
               upon the relative fair values of the two securities and the
               balance of the proceeds is accounted for as additional paid in
               capital. The resulting debt discount is amortized to expense over
               the term of the debt instrument, using the interest method. In
               the event of settlement of such debt in advance of the maturity
               date, an expense is recognized based upon the difference between
               the then carrying amount (i.e., face amount less unamortized
               discount) and amount of payment.

        INCOME TAXES:

               Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the
               basis of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement
               and income tax purposes.

        COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

               Comprehensive income consists of net income only.

(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

        EARNINGS PER SHARE:

               Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average
               number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
               Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would
               have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been
               converted to common stock. Common stock equivalents have not been
               included as the amounts are anti-dilutive. The following
               reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

        CASH:

                                   EQUIVALENTS

               For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
               include all highly liquid debt instruments with original
               maturities of three months or less which are not securing any
               corporate obligations.

                                  CONCENTRATION

               The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
               times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
               experienced any losses in such accounts.

(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

               The Company sells its bakery products to food distributors,
               retailers, franchisees and various airlines throughout the United
               States primarily through its own concession operations and does
               not require collateral. Over 90% of the Company's sales are on a
               cash basis. One location accounts for more than 10% of the
               Company's revenues. Allowances have been provided for
               uncollectible amounts, which have historically been within
               management's expectations.

        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

               In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
               Commission) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue
               Recognition in Financial Statements, which is to be applied
               beginning with the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years
               beginning after December 15, 1999, to provide guidance related to
               recognizing revenue in circumstances in which no specific
               authoritative literature exists. Adoption of this pronouncement
               did not materially impact the financial statements.

               In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
               issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44),
               "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
               Compensation". Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the
               recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based
               compensation arrangements that are accounted for under APB
               Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
               Interpretation 44 is effective July 1, 2000, with certain
               provisions that are effective retroactively to December 15, 1998
               and January 12, 2000. Interpretation 44 is not expected to have
               an impact on the Company's financial statements.

               In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
               SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
               Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is
               effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS
               No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as
               either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at
               fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative
               instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow and foreign
               currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards
               for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative
               instruments. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to
               adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and
               recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be
               reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as
               appropriate. The Company is evaluating its expected adoption date
               and currently expects to comply with the requirements of SFAS 133
               in fiscal year 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption
               will be material to the Company's financial position or results
               of operations since the Company does not believe it participates
               in such activities.

               In January 2001, the FASB Emergency Issues Task Force issued
               EITF 00-27 effective for convertible debt instruments issued
               after November 16, 2000. This pronouncement requires the use of
               the intrinsic value method for recognition of the detachable
               and imbedded equity features included with indebtedness, and
               requires amortization of the amount associated with the
               convertibility feature over the life of the debt instrument
               rather than the period for which the instrument first becomes
               convertible. Inasmuch as all debt instruments were entered
               into prior to November 16, 2000 and all of the debt discount
               relating to the beneficial conversion feature was previously
               recognized as expense in accordance with EITF 98-5, there is no
               impact on these financial statements. This EITF 00-27, could
               impact future financial statements, should the Company enter into
               such agreements.


See accompanying independent auditors' report.

(2)     BUSINESS ACQUISITION:

         In October 2000, the Company acquired for approximately $7.3 million,
100% of the outstanding stock of GladCo Enterprises, Inc., an operator of
airport food concessions, the outstanding shares of HLG Acquisition Corporation,
a Pennsylvania corporation and the outstanding limited partnership interest of
HLG Franchise Marketing Company a Pennsylvania limited partnership. This
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the acquired
assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at date
of acquisition. The purchase agreement provides for contingent payments of up to
approximately $700,000 based on the execution of definitive leases within one
year at certain airport locations. Any such payments, if earned, will be
allocated to the assets acquired or, if applicable, recorded as goodwill. The
operating results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated
results of operations from the date of acquisition.

         The following unaudited pro-forma summary presents the consolidated
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years.

<TABLE>

                                                                                              2000              1999

               <S>                                                                      <C>               <C>

               Net income (loss)                                                                 145            (1,107)

</TABLE>

         The above amounts are based upon certain assumptions and estimates
which the Company believes are reasonable, and do not reflect any benefit from
economies which might be achieved from combined operations. The pro-forma
results do not necessarily represent results which would have occurred if the
acquisition had taken place on the basis assumed above, nor are they indicative
of the results of future combined operations.

        CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

        In September 2000, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with an
        investment company to issue a total of $2,500,000 convertible debentures
        with interest at 7% per annum at a 5% discount rate and 1 warrant to
        purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
        price of $6.86 per share. In September 2000, the Company issued
        $2,000,000 of the convertible debenture at a 5% discount rate, or
        $100,000, and the warrant. A payment of interest only is payable on the
        last day of each quarter starting December 31, 2000. The remaining
        principal balance of the debenture is payable in full in September 2003.
        The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time
        after October 26, 2000 at the lesser of $7.70 per share or 85% of the
        average of the 5 lowest volume weighted average sales prices of the
        common stock during the past 25 trading days immediately preceding the
        notice of conversion. Included in accrued expenses is approximately
        $37,000 of accrued interest. The intrinsic value of the beneficial
        conversion feature totaled $352,941 and has been charged to interest
        expense pursuant to EITF 98-5. The debenture is collateralized by
        substantially all assets of the Company. The fair value of the
        associated warrant was determined based on the Black-Scholes pricing
        method. The value of the warrants totaled $450,450 and is included in
        paid-in capital at December 31, 2000. The debenture, net of discounts
        totaling $550,450, has an effective interest rate of 30.2%. The discount
        is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debenture
        using the interest rate method. Amortization of the discount totaled
        approximately $39,000 at December 31, 2000.

        In January 2001, $190,000 of the outstanding debenture was converted to
        108,436 shares of the Company's common stock at an average rate of $1.75
        per share.

(10)    INCOME TAXES:

        For federal income tax return purposes, the Company has available net
        operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,057,000, which expire
        through 2020 and are available to offset future income tax liabilities.
        Due to the completion of an initial public offering, there are
        significant limitations on the Company's ability to utilize this
        operating loss carryforward.

        Temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and
        liabilities at December 31, 2000 are as follows:

</TABLE>

        In connection with the concessionaire agreements with various airport
        authorities, the Company has obtained surety bond coverage for the
        guarantee of lease payments in the event of non-performance under the
        agreements, in the aggregate amount of approximately $425,000. The
        insurer may seek indemnification from the Company for any amounts paid
        under these bonds.

        CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is a party to legal proceedings arising from the normal
        conduct of operations. Although the ultimate disposition of the
        proceedings is not determinable by legal counsel, management does not
        believe that an adverse determination in such proceedings would have a
        material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

        SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

        In December 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with
        a former note holder. In March 2001, pursuant to the agreement, the
        Company paid the disputed interest and issued 180,000 stock purchase
        warrants in satisfaction of this matter. The interest payment is
        included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2000.
        The warrants expire in January 2004. The value of the warrants totaled
        $10,250 and is included in paid-in capital at December 31, 2000.

(12)    COMMON STOCK:

        In September 2000, one purchase warrant was issued to an investment
        company in connection with the convertible debenture (Note 6). The
        warrant entitles the holder to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's
        common stock at an exercise price of $6.86 per share. The warrants are
        exercisable immediately and expire in September 2003.

        In January through July 2000, shareholders exercised 500,950 warrants to
        purchase common stock at an exercise price of $5.40 per share. The
        exercises generated proceeds, net of costs, totaling $2,567,898.

        In January and July 2000, shareholders exercised 83,000 warrants to
        purchase common stock at an exercise price of $2.06 per share. The
        exercise generated proceeds, net of costs, totaling $134,625.

(12)    COMMON STOCK, CONTINUED:

        In June 2000, a note holder exercised 10,000 warrants to purchase common
        stock at an exercise price of $1.48 per share. The exercise generated
        proceeds, net of costs, totaling $14,800.

        In 2000, individuals exercised 232,400 warrants to purchase common
        stock. The individuals exercised the warrants on a "cashless" basis and
        as a result were issued 218,621 shares of the Company's common stock.

        In 2000, employees and directors of the Company exercised 70,500 options
        to purchase common stock at an average exercise price of $1.63. The
        exercises generated proceeds totaling $114,600. In 2000, the Company
        commenced three private placement offerings of 261,700, 211,000 and
        125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of
        $5.00, $7.25 and $7.00 per share, respectively. The offerings generated
        proceeds, net of offering costs, totaling $1,133,120, $1,485,289 and
        $875,000, respectively.


(13)    STOCK OPTIONS:

        The Company has adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan").
        The 1997 Plan authorizes the issuance of an additional 280,000 shares of
        the Company's common stock pursuant to the exercise of options granted
        thereunder. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
        administers the Plan, selects recipients to whom options are granted and
        determines the number of shares to be awarded. Options granted under the
        1997 Plan are exercisable at a price determined by the Compensation
        Committee at the time of grant, but in no event less than fair market
        value.

        The number and weighted average exercise prices of options granted under
        the 1997 plan, for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as
        follows:

(13)    STOCK OPTIONS, CONTINUED:

        The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
        No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
        interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
        alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No.
        123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option
        valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
        stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
        employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
        on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

        Proforma information regarding net loss and loss per share under the
        fair value method has not been presented as the amounts are immaterial
        for the year ended December 31, 2000.


(14)    WARRANTS:

        On July 3, and October 2, 2000, the Company issued warrant dividends to
        its shareholders of record at an exercise price of 110% of the closing
        stock price on each of the dates. Each shareholder of record received
        one warrant for each 40 shares of stock owned. The Company issued
        151,128 and 162,864 warrants at an exercise price of $13.20 and $8.32
        per share in July and October 2000, respectively.

        At December 31, 2000, the Company had warrants outstanding that allow
        the holders to purchase up to 608,575 shares of common stock at exercise
        prices ranging from $1.38 to $13.20, expiring through November 2004.

        The number and weighted average exercise prices of the warrants for the
        years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         Directors receive no cash compensation for their services to the
Company as directors, but are reimbursed for expenses actually incurred in
connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors. In addition, each
outside director is entitled to receive options as approved by the Board of
Directors under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan and 2001 stock Option Plan.
During


                                   Page 33
<PAGE>

Fiscal 2000, each outside director was issued an aggregate of 15,000 options
under the 1997 Stock Option Plan, all of which are now vested.

NEW STOCK OPTION PLAN

In January 2001, the Company's Board or Directors adopted the 2001 Stock Option
Plan for the directors, executive officers, employees and key consultants of
Creative Host Services, Inc. (the "2001 Plan"). Under the 2001 Plan, a total of
300,000 shares are reserved for potential issuance upon the exercise of up to
300,000 stock options that may be granted under the Plan. No stock options have
yet been granted under the Plan. The Company expects to grant stock options
under the Plan to directors, executive officers and other qualified recipients
in 2001 and in future years. The 2001 Plan is expected to be ratified by the
Company's shareholders during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

         The compensation and benefits program of the Company is designed to
attract, retain and motivate employees to operate and manage the Company for the
best interests of its constituents. Executive compensation is designed to
provide incentives for those senior members of management who bear
responsibility for the Company's goals and achievements. The compensation
philosophy is based on a base salary, with opportunity for significant bonuses
to reward outstanding performance, and a stock option program. The Compensation
Committee is responsible for setting base compensation, awarding bonuses and
setting the number and terms of options for the executive officers. None of the
current Committee members are employees of the Company. The Committee currently
consists of Messrs. Donohue and Graves.

         The following table and notes set forth the annual cash compensation
paid to Sayed Ali, Chairman of the Board and President of the Company. No other
person's compensation exceeded $100,000 per annum during the Company's fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000.

2002, $248,000 in 2003 and $275,000 in 2004. Mr. Ali is also entitled to be
granted 60,000 additional stock options, vesting 20,000 upon grant, 20,000 in
