AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of California Beach Restaurants, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the six month period ended October 31, 1998 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 1999. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year-ended April 30, 1998. Certain amounts have been reclassified in the Fiscal 1998 financial statements to conform to the Registrant's 1999 presentation. NOTE B - ACCOUNTING PERIODS The Company's restaurant operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sea View Restaurants, Inc. ("Sea View"). The Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended October 31, 1998 and 1997 include Sea View's operations for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks ended October 15, 1998 and October 16, 1997, respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) NOTE D - REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT - RELATED PARTY On November 24, 1997 Sea View entered into a one year, $1,000,000 unsecured line of credit agreement with Outside LLC, an entity affiliated with one of the Registrant's principal shareholders and with a member of its board of directors. This agreement provides for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1.25% of the total line and is guaranteed by the Registrant. The expiration date of the line of credit agreement was extended to February 28, 1999, on November 30, 1998. The line will be used by Sea View for seasonal working capital needs as well as for certain renovations to Gladstone's. At October 31, 1998, $500,000 was borrowed and outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit restricts any distribution to the Registrant except for distributions for taxes paid or for repayment of intercompany loans. 8 9 CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESTAURANT REVENUES Restaurant operations include the results of Gladstone's 4 Fish ("Gladstone's") in Pacific Palisades, California and RJ's - Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California. Total sales for the three months ended October 31, 1998 were $3,584,000 compared with $3,798,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $214,000 or 5.6%. For the six months ended October 31, 1998, total sales were $7,138,000 compared with $7,798,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $660,000 or 8.5%. Gladstone's is located on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California and is dependent, to a certain extent, on favorable weather and tourism. Gladstone's has a large outside deck overlooking the Pacific ocean which is a very popular destination but is only open as weather permits. Severe storms generated by the "El Nino" weather phenomenon concluded during the six months ended October 31, 1998; however, the effects of such storms, including road closures and reduced tourism, continued to adversely affect revenues through the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1998, as compared to the same periods last year. As a result of typically more favorable weather and higher tourism during the summer months from May through September, the Registrant's sales and operating profits have historically been higher in the first and second quarters of its fiscal year. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold includes all food, beverages, liquor, direct labor and other operating expenses, including rent, of the Registrant's restaurant operations. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended October 31, 1998 was $2,968,000, or, as a percentage of sales, 82.8% compared with $3,010,000, or, as a percentage of sales, 79.3% during the same period last year. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended October 31, 1998 was $5,905,000, or, as a percentage of sales, 82.7% compared with $6,192,000, or, as a percentage of sales, 79.4% during the same period last year. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to increases in the minimum wage and increases in minimum rent required by Sea View's new, twenty-year concession agreement with the County of Los Angeles. The minimum wage in the State of California increased by $.15 per hour on September 1, 1997, and $.60 per hour on March 1, 1998. At present, the state of California, unlike most states, does not allow any adjustment of minimum wage for employees that receive tips. 9 10 CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Cost of goods sold will typically be slightly lower during the first and second quarters due to additional economies of scale that can be achieved with labor and certain other costs when sales levels are higher. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, was 87.4%. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES For the three months ended October 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses were $211,000 compared with $658,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $447,000 or 67.9%. For the six months ended October 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses were $423,000, compared with $872,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $449,000 or 51.5%. The decrease is primarily due to the inclusion of a $339,000 bonus for two senior executives and $79,000 in consulting fees relating to the new Gladstone's concession agreement in the operating results for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1997. These costs did not recur in the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1998. LEGAL AND LITIGATION SETTLEMENT For the three months ended October 31, 1998, legal and litigation settlement expenses were $34,000, compared with $276,000 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $242,000 or 87.7%. For the six months ended October 31, 1998, legal and litigation settlement expenses were $50,000, compared with $361,000 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $311,000, or 86.1%. The respective decreases are primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year period operating results of legal expenses and settlement costs involving an employment-related litigation matter and legal expenses associated with the negotiation of Gladstone's twenty-year concession agreement. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES For the three and six months ended October 31, 1998, amortization expense was $168,000 and $329,000, respectively. Amortization expense relates to the Registrant's Goodwill and will approximate $714,000 per year. For the three and six months ended October 31, 1998, interest expense was $67,000 and $144,000, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended October 31, 1997 was $0 and $1,000, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1998, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, is primarily attributable to maintenance of a $2,000,000 letter of credit pursuant to the Gladstone's concession agreement that became effective November 1, 1997. Additionally, the Registrant incurred interest expense in connection with Sea View's line of credit agreement; the outstanding balance of such line of credit at October 31, 1998 is $500,000. Sea View did not have a line of credit during the comparable periods in the prior year. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Registrant's computer programs that have 10 11 time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. The Registrant has determined that it will be required to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The Registrant also has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which the Registrant's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own year 2000 Issues. The Registrant presently believes that with modifications to existing software and conversion to new software, the cost of which is not expected to be material to the Registrant's results of operation or financial position, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. The Registrant will use both internal and external resources to reprogram, or replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications. The Registrant anticipates completing the Year 2000 project prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems, and, accordingly, the Registrant has not developed a Year 2000 contingency plan. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the year 2000 Issue could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Registrant. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Registrant's systems rely will be timely converted and would not have a material adverse effect on the Registrant. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Sea View and the County executed a twenty year concession agreement for Gladstone's that commenced on November 1, 1997 ("Agreement"). The terms of the Agreement required Sea View post a $2,000,000 letter of credit as a security deposit for rental payments due to the County. In the event that rents are not paid when due, the County may draw upon the letter of credit. The letter of credit will be reduced to an amount equal to three months minimum rent upon Sea View's satisfaction of certain conditions, including completion of the required capital improvements and maintenance of certain net worth levels. The Agreement requires that Sea View complete at least $2,700,000 in capital improvements to the restaurant facility by April, 1999. The Registrant posted the letter of credit by utilizing cash collateral provided by Overhead Partners, L.P. ("Overhead"), an entity affiliated with one of the Registrant's principal shareholders and with a member of its board of directors. The letter of credit, which previously was to expire on October 31, 1998, now expires on December 31, 1998, unless extended prior to expiration. In consideration of providing the cash collateral, the Registrant paid a fee to Overhead of $100,000 for the period May 1, 1998 through October 31, 1998, and will continue to pay $16,667 per month until the letter of credit is reduced, terminated, or expires. In the event that any amounts are drawn down on the letter of credit, such amounts will automatically convert into a debt obligation of the Registrant, payable with interest ninety days (or earlier under certain circumstances) from the date of such conversion. On November 24, 1997 Sea View entered into a one year, $1,000,000 unsecured line of credit agreement with Outside LLC, an entity affiliated with one of the Registrant's principal shareholders and with a member of its board of directors. This agreement provides for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1.25% of the total line and is guaranteed by the Registrant. The expiration date of the line of credit agreement was extended to February 28, 1999, on November 30, 1998. The line will be used by Sea View for seasonal working capital needs as well as for certain renovations to Gladstone's. At October 31, 1998, 11 12 $500,000 was borrowed and outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit restricts any distribution to the Registrant except for distributions for taxes paid or for repayment of intercompany loans. The Registrant is currently evaluating available options to raise the necessary funds or receive appropriate commitments to complete the required renovations to Gladstone's, and has had discussions with related parties and third parties in this regard. The Registrant is seeking to procure funding prior to January, 1999, when the major renovations to Gladstone's are anticipated to begin. Such renovations had been expected to begin by October, 1998, but were postponed by delays in obtaining necessary architectural approvals and other factors inherent in the development process. There can be no assurance that the Registrant will be successful in completing the required equity or debt financing. Failure to substantially commence construction, as defined in the concession agreement, is an event of default under such agreement. The Registrant is also exploring various opportunities to expand its operations. The Registrant's ability to expand is subject to the availability of debt or equity financing on terms that are acceptable to the Registrant. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available. Capital expenditures for the six months ended October 31, 1998 totaled approximately $192,000. The terms of the concession Agreement between Sea View and the County require Sea View to expend approximately $2,700,000 on renovations to Gladstone's. The timing of such renovations is subject to the receipt of all necessary permits. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Except for the historical information contained herein, certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including statements in this Item are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of the Registrant, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: the Registrant's ability to secure adequate debt or equity financing in order to comply with the terms of the Gladstone's concession Agreement, including the maintenance of a $2,000,000 letter of credit, the payment of significantly higher rental payments and completion of required renovations; the Registrant's ability to generate an operating profit based on the terms of the Gladstone's concession Agreement; the impact on the Registrant of the Year 2000 Issue; that its principal source of cash is funds generated from operations; that restaurants historically have represented a high risk investment in a very competitive industry; general and local economic conditions, which can, among other things, impact tourism, consumer spending and restaurant revenues; weather and natural disasters, such as earthquakes and fires, which can impact sales at the Registrant's restaurants; quality of management; changes in, or the failure to comply with, governmental regulations; unexpected increases in the cost of key food products, labor and other operating expenses in connection with the Registrant's business; and other factors referenced in this Form 10-Q and the Registrant's other filings with the SEC. 12 13 CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC.
