                       SILVER DINER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE TWELVE AND FORTY WEEKS ENDED
                      OCTOBER 7, 2001 AND OCTOBER 8, 2000

1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Silver Diner,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Diner
Development, Inc. ("SDDI"), (collectively the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of 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 have been
included. Operating results for the twelve and forty week periods ended October
7, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 30, 2001. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31,
2000.

2.   Diner Closing

The Company closed its diner in Towson, Maryland on November 18, 2001. Under
terms of the lease termination agreement, dated November 16, 2001, the Company
paid rent and other related expenses through November 30, 2001 and paid the
landlord $170,000 to exit the lease. The Company will also incur expenses
related to the termination of the lease and closure of the diner, of
approximately $40,000.

3.   Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," the Company evaluates the
potential impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and property and
equipment on a restaurant by restaurant basis, based upon projections of
undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Based on
that evaluation and the trends of operations, management believes no material
impairment of long lived assets exists at October 7, 2001.

4.   New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  In August 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, thereby eliminating the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 also addresses the
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in
a business combination. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 by the Company is not
expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least
annually for impairment. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142
on January 1, 2002. The Company will complete its assessment of goodwill
impairment by April 21, 2002. The impact of an impairment, if any determined
during such assessment, would be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle during the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

                                       6


SFAS No. 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets.  The statement supercedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and
establishes an accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
The statement also addresses implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121.  The
statement is applicable for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 by the Company
on January 1, 2001 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's
financial statements.


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

FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE

Certain information included herein contains statements that are forward-
looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion and other
business development activities as well as operating costs, capital spending,
financial sources and the effects of competition.  Such forward-looking
information is subject to changes and variations which are not reasonably
predictable and which could significantly affect future results.  Accordingly,
such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of the Company.  These changes and variations which could
significantly affect future results include, but are not limited to, those
relating to development and construction activities, including delays in opening
new Diners, acceptance of the Silver Diner concept, the quality of the Company's
restaurant operations, the adequacy of operating and management controls,
dependence on discretionary consumer spending, dependence on existing
management, inflation and general economic conditions, and changes in federal or
state laws or regulations.

GENERAL

As of October 7, 2001 the Company operated eleven Silver Diner restaurants in
the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan area, one in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and
one in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night
meals.  On November 18, 2001 the Company closed its diner in Towson, Maryland
(see note 2). The Company targets the growing number of customers tired of
traditional fast food whose need for a quick, high quality, reasonably priced
meal is not being adequately served by existing family or casual theme
restaurants; the Company capitalizes on the timeless diner theme to address this
need.

Net sales for the twelve weeks ended October 7, 2001 ("Third Quarter 2001")
decreased $86,368 to $7,595,300 compared to $7,681,668 for the 12 weeks ended
October 8, 2000 ("Third Quarter 2000"). Year-to-date, net sales for the forty
weeks ended October 7, 2001 ("2001 YTD Period") increased $461,691 or 1.9%, to
$24,505,832, compared to $24,044,141 for the Forty weeks ended October 8, 2000
("2000 YTD Period"). The decrease for Third Quarter 2001 was primarily
attributable to the increase in new store sales of $15,963 and the decrease in
same store sales of $102,331. The increase in sales for the 2001 YTD period was
due to an increase in new store sales of $1,803,294, offset by a decline in same
store sales of $1,341,603. A portion of the decline in sales, approximately
$225,000, is attributable to a fire that temporarily closed the Tysons Corner,
Virginia store. Same store sales (sales for Silver Diners open throughout both
periods being compared, excluding the initial six months of operations during
which sales are typically higher than normal) in Third Quarter 2001 decreased
1.5% compared to the Third Quarter 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Silver Diner's operations are subject to significant external factors beyond
its control. Any one, or more, could materially impact the actual results of the
Silver Diner's operations. Those factors include, but are not limited to: (I)
changes in general economic conditions, (II) changes in consumer spending (III)
changes in the availability and cost of raw materials, (IV) changes in the
availability of capital resources, (V) changes in interest rates, (VI) changes
in the competitive environment and (VII) changes in Federal or State laws.

At October 7, 2001, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $1,666,988.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $476,817 during Third Quarter 2001,
primarily due to seasonal costs and non-recurring expenses. The Company's
working capital deficit was $159,075, compared to working capital deficits of
$273,869 as of July 15, 2001 and $893,151 at December 31, 2000. This represents
an increase in working capital of $115,000 during the Third Quarter 2001 and
$734,000 for YTD 2001. Additionally, the Company's long-term debt was $2,589,545
and stockholders' equity was $11,791,376.

Based on the Company's current operating plan, the Company believes that the
cash generated from operating activities, coupled with borrowings on its line of
credit facility and additional cost reductions, where necessary, will be
sufficient to meet the anticipated needs for working capital, capital
expenditures and non-cancelable lease obligations for at least the next 12
months. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy
the Company's liquidity needs, the Company may seek to obtain additional
capacity on its line of credit, sell convertible debt securities, subject to
consent being received from the Company's bank or sell additional equity
securities. However, no assurances can be given that any such addition financing
sources will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company, as previously announced, signed a lease on September 22, 2000,
subject to certain contingencies, for a mall type unit in the Pentagon Row
Shopping Center in Arlington, Virginia, which was scheduled to open in the
second half of 2001. On March 30, 2001 the lease was terminated, with no further
obligation to the Company.

The Company closed its diner in Towson, Maryland on November 18, 2001. Under
terms of the lease termination agreement dated November 16, 2001 the Company
paid rent and other related expenses through November 30, 2001 and paid the
landlord $170,000 to exit the lease. The Company will also incur expenses,
related to the termination of the lease and closure of the diner, of
approximately $40,000.

The Company has a loan agreement with its bank whereby the Company may borrow,
through December 31, 2002 up to $3,000,000. As of October 7, 2001, the Company
has borrowed $2,500,000 under the agreement. Terms of the loan agreement limit
the Company's ability to incur new debt, which may restrict the Company's
ability to expand and to finance working capital requirements. As defined in the
loan agreement, the Company may draw additional funds only to the extent that
its cash flow is equal to or greater than 1.3 times the debt service coverage
requirements. The amount borrowed in 2000, $1,000,000, is payable interest only
until December 1, 2001. Principal and interest are payable monthly beginning
January 1, 2002 through December 1, 2007. The amount borrowed in 2001,
$1,500,000, is payable interest only until December 1, 2002. Principal and
interest are payable monthly beginning January 1, 2003 through December 1, 2008.
Annual principal payments are $167,667 in 2002, $416,667 in 2003 thru 2007 and
$250,000 in 2008.

As of October 7, 2001 the Company meets the debt service coverage requirements
of the loan agreement.
