JERRY'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. CONSOLIDATION -
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned and all of
which are engaged in the food and beverage service and/or the gift shop
business. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Investments in partnerships are carried at
equity in net assets. Other investments are carried at cost.
2. INVENTORIES -
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost
generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis and market based
upon the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. Inventories
consisted of the following amounts::
1997 1996
-------- --------
Finished Goods $ 74,338 $ 67,041
Raw Materials 291,374 292,708
-------- --------
Total $365,712 $359,749
======== ========
3. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT -
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. The Company
calculates depreciation under the straight-line and accelerated methods
at annual rates based upon the estimated service lives of each type of
asset. These service lives are generally as follows:
Buildings and Improvements 20 to 35 years
Equipment and Furniture 5 to 7 years
Aviation and Automotive 3 to 7 years
Leasehold Improvements and Other 5 to 7 years
Assets with an original cost of approximately $5,200,000 have been
fully depreciated at September 30, 1996.
-11-
Jerry's, Inc. And Subsidiaries March 31, 1997
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
4. INTANGIBLES -
Intangible assets consist of finance and loan fees arising from the
addition of debt. The fees are being amortized using the straight-line
method over the expected life of the financing.
5. INCOME TAXES -
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective October 1, 1993. Under
SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to
taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse.
The cumulative effect of this accounting change at October 1, 1993 was
a one-time, non-cash increase to net income of $142,094 or $.25 per
share.
6. INCOME PER SHARE -
Income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each year.
7. CASH -
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables,
other current assets, other receivables, other investments, other
assets, accounts payable, and debt approximate fair value.
9. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK -
The Company is subject to credit risk arising from the concentration of
its temporary cash investments and trade receivables. Most of the
Company's temporary cash investments are concentrated with a single
financial institution. This institution, however, has a high credit
rating. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with a small
number of airlines. In particular, the Company primarily sells its
products to about 60 airlines or aviation-related companies in the
States of Florida, Georgia and Alabama, and extends credit based on an
-12-
Jerry's, Inc. And Subsidiaries March 31, 1997
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without
requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally
dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors
its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated
losses. As of September 30, 1996, approximately 69% of the recorded
trade receivables were concentrated with six (6) airlines. As of
September 30, 1995, approximately 71% of the receivables were
concentrated with six (6) airlines.
10. REVENUE RECOGNITION -
Revenues are recorded at the time of shipment of products or
performance of services.
11. ADVERTISING COSTS -
Advertising costs are generally charged to operations in the period
incurred and totaled $175,000 in 1997, and $171,000 in 1996 (six months
ended March 31).
12. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP MATTERS -
The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing
conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no
current or future benefit is discernable. The Company determines its
liability on a site by site basis and records a liability at the time
when it is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
13. USE OF ESTIMATES -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and related notes to the financial statements.
Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future
periods.
NOTE B - SALES
The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from catering
flights of three airlines, as follows:

Kiwi International Airlines, Inc. is operating under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
During June 1996 and September 1996, the lease agreements at the
Company's Fort Pierce, Florida and Tallahassee, Florida airport facilities were
terminated, respectively. The approximate sales that were discontinued during
fiscal 1996 amounted to:

Six Months Ended 3/31/97 $ -- --%
Six Months Ended 3/31/96 555,000 6%
NOTE C - RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
On May 1, 1990, the Company entered into a right of first refusal
agreement with a competing airline caterer. Under the Agreement, the Company
granted the purchaser a 10-year right of first refusal with respect to the sale
of any airline catering business owned by the Company. The purchaser agreed to
pay the Company $385,000 in 24 quarterly installments commencing on May 31,
1994. The income will be recorded pro-rata over the 10-year term of the
agreement.
NOTE D - SALES OF ASSETS AND DISPOSITIONS
During February 1995, the Company sold its airline catering operations
at Miami, Florida and Orlando, Florida for $6,000,000 ($5,000,000 cash and the
assumption by the Buyer of $1,000,000 of the Company's liabilities). The
approximate pre-tax gain on the sale was $5,400,000 ($3,300,000 post-tax). The
original agreement with respect to this asset sale was amended during September
1996. The amendment provided, in the event the original buyer sells the Miami
and Orlando catering kitchens, that the original contingent consideration
payment plan would be adjusted as follows:
a. The original buyer would be required to pay $1,000,000 to the
Company upon the closing of a sale of the Miami and Orlando
kitchens.
b. The original buyer would be required to pay to the Company a second
payment based upon gross revenues of the Miami facility and the
Orlando facility during a "measuring period" [six months starting on
the closing date]. The parameters of this second payment is a low of
$500,000 to a high of $1,000,000.
-14-
Jerry's, Inc. And Subsidiaries March 31, 1997
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
c. The original buyer would be required to pay the Company a third
payment of $1,000,000 on March 2, 1998.
During November 1996, the original buyer sold the Miami and Orlando
facilities to a third party. In accordance with the amendment described above,
the original buyer paid the Company $1,000,000 at the time of the sale. This
payment was recorded as a $1,000,000 gain.
During the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold vehicles
which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $25,600 [$16,500 post-tax].

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, OTHER MATTERS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
1. Effective January 1, 1989, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with a partnership under the control of a retired director of the
Company in recognition of his services to the Company. The agreement provides
for monthly payments of $1,800 for a 10-year period.
2. The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the
normal course of business. After taking into consideration legal counsel's
evaluation of such actions, management is of the opinion that their outcome will
not have a significant effect on the Company's financial condition.
3. The Company is self-insured for a portion of its workers
compensation insurance in the State of Florida. The Company's maximum
self-insured exposure at September 30, 1996 for all open years is approximately
$600,000.
4. During December 1996, the Company signed a five year agreement to
provide food and beverages to the South Florida Fair and Palm Beach County
Expositions, Inc.

5. During December 1996, the Florida Department of Revenue issued a
proposed assessment for its audit of the Company's sale tax returns and
intangible tax returns for the five year period ending December 31, 1993. The
proposed assessment of $350,000 consist of $173,000 for taxes, $65,500 for
penalties, and $112,000 for interest. The proposed assessment includes sales tax
on port fees and certain supplies used in the airline catering industry. The
Company's position is that both items are not subject to sales tax because they
are "passed-through" to other parties. The Company intends to vigorously defend
its position and has requested its legal counsel to file Letters of Protest with
the Florida Department of Revenue. Although the ultimate disposition of this
matter cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the present opinion of the
Company's management that the outcome of the tax assessment which is pending
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
6. During November 1996, the Company assigned its rights to receive
earnout payments under the Agreement to sell the Miami and Orlando kitchen
facilities [Note D] in favor of the lender to Central Florida Terminals, Inc.,
the operator of the Orlando/Sanford, Florida Airport. Jerry's, Inc. has a ten
year food and beverage concession with this airport that expires in 2006. The
president of the Company is a stockholder in Central Florida Terminals, Inc.
7. During December 1996, St. Lucie County, Florida and the
Company concluded its negotiations with respect to the lease and other assets at
the Company's Fort Pierce, Florida location. The settlement indicates a net
payment due the County of approximately $4,000 which was substantially accrued
for at September 30, 1996.
8. The Company expects to spend approximately $400,000 during 1997 to
improve its facilities at the St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida airport.
9. The Company has received notices from the Metro-Dade Department of
Environmental Resources Management (DERM) that the Company is responsible to pay
for remediation of the hazardous substance releases at the Company's Hialeah,
Florida facility. The Company recorded charges to earnings of $100,000 in fiscal
1995 and $53,400 in 1996 to correct and monitor the site.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST TWO QUARTERS OF 1997 FISCAL YEAR COMPARED TO FIRST
TWO QUARTERS OF 1996 FISCAL YEAR
SALES
The Company's net sales for the six months ended March 31, 1997 were
$9,459,000 compared with $9,892,000 for the same period of 1996. The decrease in
net sales is primarily due to the termination of the Company's operations at
Tallahassee and Ft. Pierce (which had sales of $555,000 in the first six months
of 1996). This decrease was offset by higher sales at the Company's new
operations at Sanford, Florida.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales in the first six months of the 1997 fiscal year were
$5,556,000 compared with $5,643,000 in 1996.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The Company's selling and administrative expenses decreased from
$4,833,000 in the first six months of 1996 fiscal year to $4,412,000 in 1997,
primarily due to lower depreciation expense (due to closing of Tallahassee) and
lower insurance expenses.
AIRLINE PORT FEES
The Company charges each of its airline catering customers a port fee
equal to the amount of percentage rent the Company pays to each airport
authority. The amount of this income was $269,000 in the first six months of
1996 fiscal year, compared with $211,000 in the first six months of 1997. It is
directly offset by rental expense paid by the Company.
SALE OF ASSETS
In November 1996, the Company received a contingent payment of
$1,000,000 in connection with the sale in 1995 of the Company's Miami and
Orlando airline catering operations. See Note D to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
-20-
NET INCOME
Due to the factors described above, the Company had net income of
$313,000 for the first six months of 1997 fiscal year, compared to a net loss of
$201,000 for 1996. After deducting the gain arising from the receipt of the
$1,000,000 contingent payment, the Company incurred a net loss (before taxes) of
$459,000 in 1997, compared with a net loss (before taxes) of $294,000 for 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1997
On March 31, 1997, the Company's current assets and current liabilities
were $3,378,000 and $2,854,000 respectively, compared with $3,196,000 and
$2,624,000 on March 31, 1996. The Company's current ratio (current assets
divided by current liabilities) declined to 1.18 on March 31, 1997, compared
with 1.22 on March 31, 1996.
The Company's operations used $516,000 in cash during the first six
months of the 1997 fiscal year due to the losses incurred by the Company's
continuing operations. The Company's investing activities provided $915,000 in
cash which reflects the receipt of the $1,000,000 contingent payment, which
partially offset $85,000 in purchases of property and equipment. Finally, the
Company's financing activities used approximately $211,000 in cash. This amount
primarily represents the repayment of some of the Company's borrowings.
The increase in working capital of $188,000 was primarily due to the
receipt of $1,000,000 in connection with the prior sale of the Company's Miami
and Orlando facilities.
Although the Company's financial condition improved modestly during the
first half of the 1997 fiscal year, the Company still faces serious long-term
working capital problems due to the high level of losses from continuing
operations. Accordingly, the Company still needs to substantially reduce the
level of its selling and administrative expenses or obtain additional sales
through expansion in order to generate positive cash flow from its operations.
There can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEDURES
On June 16, 1994, the Dade County Department of Environmental Resources
Management ("DERM") issued to the Company a Notice of Violation and Orders for
Corrective Action due to the presence of soil and groundwater contamination on
certain real property owned by the Company in Hialeah, Florida. In response to
the notice, the Company investigated and assessed the nature and the extent of
the contamination. The Company also engaged a consultant which assisted the
Company in preparing and submitting containment assessment reports to DERM.
Based on these reports, DERM required the removal of certain underground
structures on the property and contaminated soil. It also required quarterly
monitoring and reporting of levels of contaminants in the groundwater.
During the first half of 1996, the Company removed the underground
structures and contaminated soil. The Company has also performed periodic
monitoring of the groundwater. The most recent test indicates that the level of
contaminants has significantly decreased. The Company therefore anticipates that
no further remedial action will be necessary in the near future. To date, the
Company has expended approximately $120,000 in connection with the cleanup of
this property and related legal fees.
In connection with the environmental matter, the Company has filed a
complaint in the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida against Steve Martin and
Associates, Inc. ("SMA"), the former owner and operator of the adjacent
property. In its complaint, the Company has alleged that SMA is responsible for
a significant portion of the contamination at the Hialeah property. The Company
is seeking recovery of its damages plus attorneys' fees and court costs incurred
as a result of the wrongful discharge of contaminants by SMA on the property.
The Company is also seeking an order requiring SMA to investigate, assess and,
if necessary, perform an environmental cleanup of certain other property owned
by the Company which, according to a historical DERM file, may have also been
impacted by effluent discharges by SMA.
