NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 1, 1997

(Unaudited)


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and the instructions to 
Form 10-Q, and do not include all the information and footnotes 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete 
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a 
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been 
included.  Operating results for the thirteen and thirty-nine week 
periods ended October 1, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 
1997. For further information, refer to the financial statements and 
footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the fiscal year ended January 1, 1997.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant 
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been 
eliminated.

Note 2.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended 
October 1, 1997 and October 2, 1996 were computed based on the 
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding. Common equivalent shares are represented by shares 
under option and stock warrants.

SFAS No. 128 Required Disclosure

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128. "Earnings per 
Share" which will require the Company to disclose Basic and Diluted 
earnings per share on the face of the income statement. Basic 
earnings per share excludes dilution, and is computed by dividing 
income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average 
number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company will 
adopt SFAS 128 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. 
Application of this statement in the third quarter of 1997 would 
have no material effect on earnings per share as reported in the 
financial statements.

Note 3. Legal Proceedings

On May 13, 1997, the Company received notice from Aetna Life 
Insurance Company, the mortgage holder of the property at which the 
Company's Clearwater, Florida restaurant is located, that Aetna 
intended to foreclose on the property and terminate the Company's 
lease due to a default by the landlord on the mortgage. In September 
1997, Aetna was granted a Motion for Summary Judgment of Foreclosure 
by the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Court in Pinellas County. 
This could allow Aetna to evict the Company from the Clearwater 
location, which would result in a loss of approximately $360,000 on 
the write-off of leasehold improvements. The Company intends to 
vigorously defend its interest in the foreclosure action. However, 
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in 
this defense.

On September 8, 1997, the Company filed suit against Bisco 
Industries, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. See discussion below 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations - Recent Developments".

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

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended October 1, 1997 versus October 2, 1996

	The Company experienced a decrease in sales during the third 
thirteen weeks of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Same-
store sales (average unit sales in restaurants that have been open 
for at least 18 months and operating during comparable weeks during 
the current and prior year) in the third quarter of 1997 decreased 
9.3% from the same period in 1996, compared to a decrease of 7.5% 
from 1996 as compared to 1995. 

	Management believes that the decrease in same-store sales is 
primarily due to the effects of increasing competition, including 
several new or remodeled restaurants opened by competitors in areas 
close to Company restaurants. Management is seeking to improve sales 
trends by focusing on improved restaurant operations, increasing 
marketing expenditures, and devising competitive strategies to 
offset the effects of new competition. In addition, management is 
considering selling restaurants where sales volume has dropped 
significantly due to new competition.

	Historically, the third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year 
are less profitable for the Company than the first and second 
quarters. If year-to-date sales trends continue, the Company will 
continue to incur losses in the fourth quarter.






	The costs and expenses of the Company's restaurants include 
food and beverage, payroll and benefits, depreciation and 
amortization, repairs, maintenance, utilities, supplies, 
advertising, insurance, property taxes and rents.  The Company's 
food, beverage, payroll and benefit costs are believed to be higher 
than the industry average as a percentage of sales as a result of 
the Company's philosophy of providing customers with high value of 
food and service for every dollar a customer spends.  In total, food 
and beverage, payroll and benefits, depreciation and amortization 
and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 
91.9% in the third quarter of 1997, from 89.3% in the same quarter 
of 1996.

	Food and beverage costs as a percentage of sales increased to 
40.9% in the third quarter of 1997 from 40.4% in the same period of 
1996, primarily due to higher beef prices compared to the same 
period in 1996, and management's efforts to increase sales volumes 
by upgrading buffet menus and offering low-priced lunch specials.  

     Payroll and benefits as a percentage of sales increased to 
28.5% in the third quarter of 1997 from 27.7% in the same quarter of 
1996, primarily due to the decline in same-store sales and increases 
in the total number of restaurant managers, designed to provide the 
Company's managers with a five-day work week and a higher quality of 
life, and therefore improve management retention and customer 
service.

     Other operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 
17.5% in the third quarter of 1997 from 16.8% in 1996, primarily due 
to higher utilities costs and the decline in same-store sales. 
Depreciation and amortization increased as a percentage of sales in 
the third quarter of 1997 compared to 1996, as a result of additions 
to property and equipment over the last 12 months.

	General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales 
were 8.2% in the third quarter of 1997, compared to 5.9% in the same 
quarter of 1996, primarily due to costs associated with the Bisco 
takeover attempt, an accrual of costs for potential sales tax due 
under an ongoing Florida sales tax audit, and the decline in same-
store sales. Interest expense increased from $376,800 during the 
third quarter of 1996 to $401,100 in 1997. The increase was due 
primarily to interest costs associated with a new restaurant opened 
in January 1997. 

	The effective income tax benefit rates for the quarters ended 
October 1, 1997 and October 2, 1996 were 21.1% and 25.2%, 
respectively.

	Net loss for the third quarter of 1997 was $471,600, compared 
to $87,400 in 1996.  Loss per share was $.04 for 1997, compared to 
$.01 in 1996.  





Nine Months Ended October 1, 1997 versus October 2, 1996 

	For the nine months ended October 1, 1997, total sales 
decreased 2.0% compared to the same period of 1996. Same-store sales 
decreased 7.7% for the nine months ended October 1, 1997, due 
primarily to increased competition.

	Food and beverage costs, as a percentage of sales, for the nine 
month period ended October 1, 1997 was 39.6%, compared to 39.8% for 
the same period in 1996. Payroll and benefits increased from 27.4% 
in 1996 to 28.3% in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the 
decrease in same-store sales, which resulted in decreased 
efficiencies in labor scheduling, and to the increased number of 
total restaurant managers employed.

	For the nine months ended October 1, 1997, other operating 
expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 15.8% from 15.5% in 
1996, primarily due to the decline in same store sales. Depreciation 
and amortization increased as a percentage of sales for the nine 
month period ended October 1, 1997, compared to the same period of 
1996, due to additions to property, plant and equipment over the 
last 12 months.

	For the nine months ended October 1, 1997, general and 
administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 7.1% 
of sales from 5.8% for the same period in 1996, primarily due to 
costs associated with the Bisco takeover attempt. Interest expense 
increased for the first nine months of 1997 to $1,190,000 from 
$1,152,300 for the same period in 1996.

	The effective income tax rates for the nine-month periods ended 
October 1, 1997 and October 2, 1995 were (21.4%) and 13.6% 
respectively.

	Net loss for the nine months ended October 1, 1997 was $372,900 
or $.03 per share, compared to net earnings of $366,000 or $.03 per 
share for the same period in 1996.

	The Company's operations are subject to some seasonal 
fluctuations. Revenues per restaurant generally increase from 
January through April and decline from September through December.  
Operating results for the quarter ended October 1, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.


Recent Developments

	On March 6, 1997, Bisco Industries, Inc. ("Bisco"), a 
shareholder of the Company, launched an unsolicited tender offer for 
the purchase of approximately 24% of the Company's common stock. The 
tender offer, if successful, would have resulted in ownership by 
Bisco and its affiliates of approximately 34% of the Company's 
outstanding common stock.

	On April 30, 1997, Bisco filed a Consent Solicitation Statement 
requesting that the Company's shareholders approve several 
amendments to the Company's bylaws designed to allow Bisco to 
complete its tender offer. Bisco failed to obtain consents from 
shareholders owning a majority of the Company's outstanding stock, 
as required by Florida Law, and the solicitation deadline expired on 
June 30, 1997.

	The Company's Board of Directors opposed the Bisco tender offer 
and consent solicitation, and has implemented several measures 
designed to protect the Company's shareholders against the potential 
adverse effects of an unsolicited takeover, including a Shareholder 
Rights Agreement.

	On July 24, 1997, Bisco notified the Company that it was 
demanding that a special meeting of shareholders be called for the 
purpose of voting on Bisco - sponsored resolutions to: (i) amend the 
Company's bylaws to require that the Board of Directors redeem the 
Company's Shareholder Rights Plan and prohibit the adoption of 
similar plans in the future without shareholder approval, (ii) amend 
the Company's bylaws to opt out of the Florida Control Share Act, 
and (iii) remove the three outside directors currently serving on 
the Board and replace them with Bisco nominees. The Company does not 
consider Bisco's demand for a special meeting of shareholders to be 
lawful. If the Bisco proposals are adopted by the Company's 
shareholders, Bisco would effectively obtain control of the Company.

	On September 8, 1997, the Company filed a complaint in the 
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida 
against Bisco and its affiliates alleging, among other things, that 
Bisco violated numerous federal securities laws in its hostile 
takeover bid. The suit requested that the court enjoin Bisco from 
proceeding with its tender offer and certain other actions and 
declare, among other things, that Bisco, its affiliates, and certain 
other shareholders had acted in concert with respect to the 
takeover, and therefore triggered certain provisions of the 
Company's Shareholder Rights Agreement. On September 28, 1997, Bisco 
withdrew its tender offer. Bisco subsequently filed a Motion to 
Dismiss the Company's lawsuit, which is currently pending before the 
District Court.

Possible Delisting of Securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

	The Company's common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq 
National Market. On August 22, 1997, the Securities and Exchange 
Commission approved changes to the listing and maintenance 
requirements of the National Market. The Company's qualification for 
continued listing on this market would require that (i) the Company 
maintain at least $4.0 million in net tangible assets, (ii) the 
minimum bid price of the Common Stock be $1.00 or more per share, 
(iii) there be at least 750,000 shares in the public float, valued 
at a minimum of $5.0 million or more, (iv) the Common Stock have at 
least two active market makers and (v) the Common Stock be held by 
at least 400 holders.

	If the Company is unable to satisfy the Nasdaq National 
Market's maintenance requirements, the Company's securities may be 
delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. In such event, trading, if 
any, in the Common Stock would thereafter be conducted in the over-
the-counter markets in the so-called "pink sheets" or the National 
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s "Electronic Bulletin 
Board", or, possibly in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Consequently, 
the liquidity of the Company's securities could be impaired, not 
only in the number of shares that could be bought and sold, but also 
as a result of delays in the timing of the transactions, a reduction 
in the number and quality of security analysts' and the news media's 
coverage of the Company, lower prices for the Company's securities 
than might otherwise be attained and a larger spread between the bid 
and asked prices for the Company's securities.

	In addition, if the Company's securities were to be delisted 
from the Nasdaq National Market, the Company's securities could 
become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act relating to 
penny stocks, which imposes additional sales practice requirements 
on broker-dealers which sell such securities to persons other than 
established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, 
individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes 
exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). 
Commission regulations define a "penny stock" to be any equity 
security that is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national 
securities exchange and that has a market price (as therein defined) 
of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than 
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If the Company's 
securities were subject to the rules on penny stocks, the market 
liquidity for the Company's securities could be adversely affected.

	As of November 3, 1997, the Company met all of the new Nasdaq 
National Market listing requirements, except for the $1.00 minimum 
bid price requirement. The Company's stock has consistently had a 
bid price of less than $1.00 in recent years. On November 3, 1997, 
the Company's stock closed at $.72. Management plans to seek 
shareholder approval for a reverse stock split to increase the 
trading price to an amount above $1.00.

	Based on recent trading prices of the Company's stock, 
acquisition by Bisco or any other shareholder of more than 10% of 
the Company's stock would likely result in failure to meet the $5.0 
million public float requirement. This would result in the de-
listing of the Company's stock from the Nasdaq National Market. 
Management has informed Bisco of this possible consequence if Bisco 
attempts to acquire additional shares, but Bisco has continued to 
make public its intentions to acquire a significant amount of 
additional shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from 
cash sales.  Inventories are purchased on credit and are converted 
rapidly to cash.  Therefore, the Company does not carry significant 
receivables or inventories. As a result, working capital 
requirements for continuing operations are not significant.

	At October 1, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit 
of $392,800, compared to a working capital deficit of $616,800 at 
January 3, 1996.

	Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $984,800 in 
the first nine months of 1997 from $1,754,100 in the same period of 
1996. This decrease is primarily due to lower net earnings in 1997.    

     The Company spent approximately $2,126,900 in the first nine 
months of 1997 for restaurant renovation and equipment.  Capital 
expenditures for 1997 and 1998, based on present costs and plans for 
expansion, are estimated to be $3,000,000 (not including the sales-
leaseback financing for the new restaurant as discussed above) and 
$1,500,000 respectively. The Company projects that cash generated 
from operations will be sufficient to fund these expenditures, plus 
funding available under its financing agreement with Franchise 
Finance Corporation of America ("FFCA").

	In December 1996, the Company entered into a $15.36 million 
Loan Agreement with FFCA Mortgage Corporation ("FFCA"). The Loan 
Agreement governs eighteen Promissory Notes payable to FFCA. Each 
Note is secured by a mortgage on a Company restaurant property. The 
Promissory Notes provide for a term of twenty years and an interest 
rate equal to the thirty-day LIBOR rate plus 3.75%, adjusted 
monthly. The Loan Agreement provides for various covenants, 
including the maintenance of prescribed debt service coverages. As 
of October 1, 1997, the outstanding balance due under the loan was 
$15,167,000.

	The Company used the proceeds of the FFCA loan to retire its 
Notes with Cerberus Partners, L.P. ("Cerberus") and its loans with 
the Daiwa Bank Limited and SouthTrust Bank of Alabama, N.A. The 
Company realized a discount on the retirement of the Cerberus Notes, 
which was partially offset by unamortized debt issuance costs. The 
resulting gain of $348,500, net of income taxes, has been accounted 
for as an extraordinary item 1n 1996. In addition, the Company 
retired Warrants for 1,050,000 shares of the Company's common stock 
previously held by Cerberus. Cerberus continues to hold Warrants to 
purchase 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise 
price of $.40 per share.

	Also in December 1996, the Company entered into a separate loan 
agreement with FFCA under which it may borrow up to an additional 
$4,640,000 in 1997. This additional financing would be evidenced by 
four additional Promissory Notes secured by mortgages on four 
Company restaurant properties. The terms and conditions of this loan 
agreement are substantially identical to those of the loan agreement 
described above. In July 1997, the Company entered into a letter 
agreement with FFCA extending the expiration date of funding under 
the loan agreement through June 1998.





Impact of Inflation

     Costs of food, beverage, and labor are the expenses most 
affected by inflation in the Company's business.  Although inflation 
has not had a significant impact on the Company in the past, there 
can be no assurance that it will not in the future. A significant 
portion of the Company's employees are paid at the federally 
established statutory minimum wage. In August 1996, President 
Clinton signed into law a bill which raised the federally mandated 
minimum wage by $.50 per hour on October 1, 1996, and by an 
additional $.40 per hour on September 1, 1997.

	The Company raised sales prices approximately 1% in 1997 and 3% 
in 1996 in order to offset the effect of higher payroll and benefit 
costs.
