BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not

management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial

results of operations.

         Interim results of operations may not be indicative of the results that
may be expected for a full fiscal year.

included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and
therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

INCOME TAXES

         The Company has provided income tax expense (benefit) of ($349) and $89
for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2001,
respectively. The effective income tax rate is lower than the statutory Federal
rate of 35% due to interest expense reported as additional debt rather than
interest expense pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15,
"Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" ("SFAS
15"). There is no income tax expense associated with the extraordinary gain as
this represents early disposition of remaining restructured debt interest under
SFAS 15.

DEBT REFINANCING

         On April 10, 2001, the Company entered into a new $55,000 Revolving
Credit and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Agreement) with various banks and
lenders. Concurrent with the execution of this new agreement the Company
defeased and gave notice of redemption of its 12% Senior Secured Notes due
December 31, 2001 and repaid in full the $2,600 of 10.5% Notes due December 31,
2001. Accordingly, the balance of these notes, less the current portion of the
new term loan, was classified as long term at January 2, 2001. After the
redemption of the 12% Notes and the repayment in full of the 10.5% Notes, the
Company had $44,000 outstanding under the new Credit Agreement. The Credit
Agreement contains covenants with regard to maintaining certain leverage ratios,
achieving certain levels of EBITDA, operating cash flow and limits on capital
expenditures. In addition there are certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends and additional indebtedness. The Credit Agreement allows the Company
to borrow at either a Federal Funds Rate plus an applicable margin or at a
Eurocurrency Reserve Rate plus an applicable margin.

         The Credit Agreement provides that the Company can borrow up to $20,000
on a revolving basis until April 2006, of which $9,000 was drawn at closing,
with the remaining $11,000 of available borrowings to be used for working
capital and capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement contains a $30,000 Term
Loan A and a $5,000 Term Loan B. The Term Loan A and Term Loan B provide for
quarterly amortization through April 2006 and April 2007, respectively, with the
remaining amounts outstanding then due. The Company's obligations under the
Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in and liens upon
substantially all of the Company's assets.

         As a result of retiring the 12% Senior Secured Notes, the Company
reported an extraordinary gain of $3,640 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

         The Company uses variable-rate debt to finance its operations. In
particular, it has borrowed money under a Credit Agreement providing for
variable-rate interest to retire the bonds and notes due December 31, 2001. This
debt obligation exposes the Company to variability in interest payments due to
changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense
increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also
decreases.

         Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion
of its interest payments. It is the Company's objective to hedge between 50 and
70 percent of its variable-rate long-term note interest payments. The Company's
Credit Agreement also requires that the Company hedge at least $20,000 for a
period of two years.

         To meet this requirement, the Company has entered into a derivative
instrument, in the form of an interest rate swap, to manage fluctuations in cash
flows resulting from interest rate risk. The interest rate swap changes the
variable-rate cash flow exposure to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into a
receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap. Under the interest rate swap,
which has a notional amount of $20,000 and a two-year term, the Company receives
variable interest rate payments based on LIBOR and makes fixed interest rate
payments at 4.99%. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended.
SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded in the balance
sheet at fair value. The interest rate swap is a cash flow hedge under SFAS No.
133 and, accordingly, changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive
income and such amounts are reclassified into interest expense as a yield
adjustment in the same period in which the related expense on the variable rate
debt affects operations.

         The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose
other than cash flow hedging purposes. That is, the Company does not speculate
using derivative instruments.

         The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by identifying and
monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2001 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 26, 2000:

         Sales for the third fiscal quarter of 2001 were $45.4 million, a
decrease of $4.2 million from the same quarter of 2000. Operating income for the
third quarter of 2001 was $2.0 million compared to $2.1 million in the
comparable period in the prior year. Net income for the third quarter of 2001
was $1.2 million compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter 2000.

         SALES. Restaurant sales in comparable units (units open a minimum of 16
months) decreased $1.0 million, or 2.24%, in the third quarter of 2001 over the
same quarter of 2000. Two factors contributed to the slightly more negative
sales in this quarter. First, sales were temporarily impacted in the days
immediately following the tragedies of September 11, and secondly, the Company
did not promote the same price discount strategy as it did during the prior
year. Sales of nine units closed subsequent to the third quarter of 2000 were
$2.7 million during the third quarter of 2000 accounting for almost two-thirds
of the sales decrease in the third quarter of 2001. Sales by Dynamic Foods to
third parties were $494 thousand in the third quarter of 2001, $27 thousand
higher than third quarter of 2000.


                                      12
<Page>


         COST OF SALES. Cost of sales was 28.8% of sales for the third quarter
of 2001, a 70 basis point improvement from the 29.5% of sales for the third
quarter of 2000. Cost of sales in third quarter of 2000 was negatively impacted
by the price discounting promotions run during that quarter.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expense was lower in the aggregate by $2.2 million in
the third quarter of 2001 as compared to 2000, principally due to fewer
restaurants in operation in the current year. The change in SG&A expense
included decreases of $1.4 million in labor related expenses, $.2 million in
repairs and maintenance, $.2 million in supplies expense and $.3 million in
other store expense.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense
was lower by $392 thousand in the third quarter of 2001 due to the closure of
nine units since third quarter 2000.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $1.0 million higher in the third
quarter of 2001 due to the interest associated with the 12% Senior Secured Notes
reported as additional debt rather than interest expense during 2000 pursuant to
SFAS 15.

         INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense (benefit) of ($349) thousand and $361
thousand was provided in the third quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our
effective tax rate is lower than the statutory Federal rate of 35% due to
interest expense on restructured debt, which is reported as additional debt
rather than interest expense pursuant to SFAS 15. The third quarter 2001 income
tax benefit is due to a reduction in the estimated effective income tax rate for
fiscal 2001 compared to the previous estimate which is accounted for
prospectively during the fiscal year.

THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2001 COMPARED TO THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 26, 2000:

         Sales for the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001 were $140.4 million, a
decrease of $5.2 million from the same period of 2000. Operating income for the
first thirty-nine weeks of 2001 was $5.9 million compared to $7.2 million in the
comparable period in the prior year. Net income for the first thirty-nine weeks
of 2001 was $7.5 million compared to $6.2 million in the same period of 2000 and
includes an extraordinary gain of $3.6 million realized as a result of early
retirement of debt and the associated interest that had been classified as
additional debt pursuant to SFAS 15.

         SALES. Restaurant sales in comparable units (units open a minimum of 16
months) decreased $2.2 million, or 1.6%, in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001
over the same period of 2000. The nine closed units represented year-to-date
sales of $6.2 million in the prior year. New units represented additional sales
of $2.7 million for 2001. Sales by Dynamic Foods to third parties were $115
thousand higher in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001 than that of the
comparable period of 2000.

         COST OF SALES. Cost of sales was 28.7% of sales for the first
thirty-nine weeks of 2001, a 70 basis point improvement from the 29.4% of sales
for the same period of 2000. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales during 2000
was negatively impacted by price discounting promotions run periodically
throughout the year.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expense was lower in the aggregate by $1.2 million in
the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001 as compared to 2000. The change in SG&A
expense included increases of $866 thousand in utility expense and $361 thousand
in marketing expense, and decreases of $1.9 million in labor and related
expenses, $359 thousand in repairs and maintenance and $498 thousand in supplies
expense.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.0 million higher for the
first 39 weeks of 2001 due to the interest associated with the 12% Senior
Secured Notes reported as additional debt rather than interest expense during
2000 pursuant to SFAS 15.


                                      13

<Page>

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense
was lower by $45 thousand in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001. Included in
depreciation for the first thirty-nine weeks of 2001 is a $583 thousand write
down of impaired assets.

         INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense of $89 thousand and $1,326 thousand
was provided in the thirty-nine weeks of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our
effective tax rate is lower than the statutory Federal rate of 35% due to
interest expense on restructured debt, which is reported as additional debt
rather than interest expense pursuant to SFAS 15. During the third quarter 2001,
the Company reduced its estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2001, the effect
of which is accounted for prospectively during the fiscal year.

         EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON RETIREMENT OF DEBT. As a result of retiring the
12% senior Secured Notes, the Company reported an extraordinary gain of $3.6
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2001, cash provided by
operating activities was $4.9 million compared to $10.7 million in the same
period of 2000. We made capital expenditures of $2.0 million during the first
thirty-nine weeks of 2001 compared to $11.6 million during the same period of
2000. The $11.6 million spent in 2000 included capital expenditures on three new
units and expenditures on the final phase of our re-imaging program. Due to the
cash management provision under our new revolving credit facility, cash and
temporary investments were $0 and cash overdraft (included in accounts payable)
was ($2.4) million at October 2, 2001 compared to cash and temporary investments
of $2.2 million at September 26, 2000 and $5.7 million at January 2, 2001. Our
current ratio was .45:1 at October 2, 2001 compared to .46:1 at September 26,
2000 and .57:1 at January 2, 2001. Total assets at October 2, 2001 aggregated
$80.8 million, compared to $88.9 million at September 26, 2000 and $89.4 million
at January 2, 2001.

         Our restaurants are a cash business. Funds available from cash sales
are not needed to finance receivables and are not generally needed immediately
to pay for food, supplies and certain other expenses of the restaurants.
Therefore, the business and operations of the Company have not historically
required proportionately large amounts of working capital, which is generally
common among similar restaurant companies.

         On April 10, 2001, we entered into a new $55 million Revolving Credit
and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Agreement) with various banks and lenders.
Concurrent with the execution of this new agreement we defeased and gave notice
of redemption of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 2001 and repaid
in full the $2.6 million of 10.5% Notes due December 31, 2001. The Credit
Agreement contains covenants with regard to maintaining certain leverage ratios,
achieving certain levels of EBITDA, operating cash flow and limits on capital
expenditures. In addition there are certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends and additional indebtedness. The Credit Agreement allows us to borrow
at either a Federal Funds Rate plus an applicable margin or at a Eurocurrency
Reserve Rate plus an applicable margin. Our obligations under the Credit
Agreement are secured by a security interest in and liens upon substantially all
of our assets.

         The Credit Agreement provides that we can borrow up to $20 million on a
revolving basis until April 2006, of which $9 million was drawn at closing, with
the remaining $11 million of available borrowings to be used for working capital
and capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement contains a $30 million Term Loan
A and a $5 million Term Loan B. The Term Loan A and Term Loan B provide for
quarterly amortization through April 2006 and April 2007, respectively, with the
remaining amounts outstanding then due.


                                      14

<Page>

         As a result of retiring the 12% Senior Secured Notes, we reported an
extraordinary pre-tax gain of $3.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.

         In order to hedge exposure to cash flow risk associated with variable
interest rates, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of
$20 million for a two-year term. Under the interest rate swap, we receive
variable interest rate payments based on LIBOR and make fixed interest rate
payments at 4.99%.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 141 requires that all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the
purchase method, and Statement 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized
to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. As of October 2, 2001,
there is no impact to the Company's financial statements as we have not entered
into any business combinations and have not acquired goodwill.

         Also, the FASB has recently issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations," and Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Statement 143 establishes
requirements for the accounting of removal-type costs associated with asset
retirements and Statement 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Statement 143 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged
and Statement 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

         The Company is currently assessing the impact of these standards on its
financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         We are exposed to market risk from changes in commodity prices. We
purchase certain commodities used in food preparation. These commodities are
generally purchased based upon market prices established with vendors. These
purchase arrangements may contain contractual features that limit the price paid
by establishing certain price floors or caps. We do not use financial
instruments to hedge commodity prices because these purchase arrangements help
control the ultimate cost paid and any commodity price aberrations are generally
short term in nature.

         We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates affecting
our variable rate debt. We use an interest rate swap to manage the cash flow
risk on $20 million of our variable rate debt. The impact on our results of
operations for the quarter of a one point interest rate change on the
outstanding balance of our variable rate debt is approximately $100 thousand. We
do not use derivatives for trading purposes.

         This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual
results may differ materially from this discussion based upon general market
conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets.
