Note 7 - Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations," which establishes financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 38, Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises. It requires that all business combinations within the scope of this Statement be accounted for using only the purchase method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. To date, the Company has not engaged in a business combination.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition, and after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of this Statement are effective starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective fiscal year 2002.  The Company has not assessed the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 at this time.

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

From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to certain matters including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, the future opening of Company-owned and franchised restaurants, anticipated capital expenditures, and other matters. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 10-Q or in any other report of the Company are forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of that safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors, individually or in the aggregate, could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the following: consumer spending trends and habits; competition in the casual dining restaurant segment; weather conditions in the Company's operating regions; laws and government regulations; general business and economic conditions; availability of capital; success of operating initiatives and marketing and promotional efforts; and changes in accounting policies. In addition, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update those forward-looking statements.

Introduction

As of July 1, 2001, the Company owned and operated 65 (48 Garfield's, 15 Garcia's, two Pepperoni Grills) and six franchised Garfield's and one licensed Garcia's restaurants. The Company opened one Garcia's Restaurant on July 30, 2001 in Missouri.  The Company currently has one Garcia's Restaurant under construction in Missouri. In addition, the Company is working with franchisees on the development of restaurants located in Indiana, Florida, Nebraska and Nevada. As of the date of this report, the entire system includes 73 restaurants of which 66 are Company-owned.

The Company has successfully initiated a national advertising campaign to seek prospective franchisees. The intention is to find candidates or organizations that have a substantial net worth, a proven track record in multi-unit food service, retail or hospitality, and an interest in developing and operating multiple casual dining restaurants. As of the date of this report, Franchise Agreements have been signed for 67 new Garfield's Restaurants.

12

The Company's uniform franchise offering circular (called the UFOC that contains the franchise and development agreement) is registered nationally.

The Company's marketing strategies are focused around one central theme, enhancing the guest experience in all the Company concepts. Each program is designed with the guest in mind, to develop concept marketing plans to improve guest satisfaction in the areas of food, value, and service. The Company continues to offer a broad range of products that guests' desire while striving to deliver the food in a fast and friendly manner. Utilizing multiple mediums such as television, local cable, radio, outdoor and print, the Company is able to deliver messages to the guest in the most efficient way. The restaurant managers are also encouraged to be involved in the community and to use proven local store marketing programs to drive their business. Key priorities for the remainder of 2001 include enhancing brand image along with developing menus that please the customer and improve the company bottom line at the same time.

The revenue decrease relates primarily to the sale and closure of 6 restaurants during the thirteen and twenty-six week ended in 2001 over the same period in 2000. The number of Company restaurants operating at the end of each respective period and the number of operating weeks during each period were as follows:

		Number of Operating Weeks		Average Weekly Sales Per Unit
Period Ended	Number of Units Open	Thirteen Weeks	Twenty-six Weeks	Thirteen Weeks	Twenty-six Weeks
Garfield's:
July 1, 2001	48	627	1,259	$26,230	$27,211

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001, average weekly sales per unit for Garfield's increased $1,186 or 4.7% versus the quarter ended June 25, 2000. Average weekly sales per unit for Garfield's increased by $1,539 or 6.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 versus the previous year's results. The primary reason for the increase was due to increased advertising and value driven promotions.

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001, average weekly sales per unit for Garcia's decreased $2,314 or 7.5% versus the quarter ended June 25, 2000. Average weekly sales per unit for Garcia's decreased by $1,544 or 4.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 versus the previous year. This decrease is primarily due to lower average unit volumes in the new mall Garcia's.

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001, average weekly sales per unit for ROMA increased $2,358 or 7.5% versus the same period in 2000. Average weekly sales per unit for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 for ROMA increased by $3,237 or 10.2% versus the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000. This increase is primarily due to the sale of the two Bellini's and one Tommy's restaurants at the end of the 2000.

Franchise fees and continuing royalties increased to $260,251 during the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 versus $123,823 during the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000. This increase is due to the Company signing additional franchise contracts during the first half of 2001.

Other income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 was $358,060 as compared to the previous year's amount of $272,023.

Costs of sales as a percentage of food and beverage sales for Garfield's in the quarters ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000 was 27.9% and 27.5% respectively.

Garcia's costs of sales as a percentage of food and beverage sales increased to 26.9% in the quarter ended July 1, 2001 versus 26.1% in the quarter ended June 25, 2000. This increase primarily relates to higher food cost, associated with new store inefficiencies, in the three new Oklahoma City restaurants along with the increased cost of liquor.

17

Costs of sales as a percentage of food and beverage revenue for Roma Foods decreased to 27.3% for the second quarter ended July 1, 2001 compared to 29.8% for the quarter ended June 25, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the Company only operating the two Pepperoni Grill's in second quarter which have lower costs of sales as a percentage of food and beverage than the three stores sold in December 2000.

Labor costs for Garfield's increased to 29.0% of food and beverage sales during the quarter ended July 1, 2001, versus 28.7% during the 2000 comparable period.

Garcia's labor costs decreased to 28.8% of food and beverage sales during the quarter ended July 1, 2001, versus 30.8% in the quarter ended June 25, 2000. This decrease is due mainly to the sale of two restaurants in California and Florida which had higher labor costs and lower sales volumes.

Labor cost in Roma Foods decreased to 28.4% during the quarter ended July 1, 2001 versus 29.7% during the 2000 comparable period. This decrease was due to the sale of the two Bellini's and Tommy's Restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2000. These restaurants were more labor intensive than the other Roma Foods restaurants.

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001, operating expenses as a percentage of food and beverage sales increased to 65.5% from 62.6% in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001, operating expenses increased to 63.9% of food and beverage sales versus 61.6% in the 2000 period. These increases primarily relate to increased utilities, marketing and promotions costs.

Restaurant pre-opening costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $69,000 and $311,000 for the quarters ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively, and $330,000 and $520,000 for the twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively. The Company plans to open one additional restaurant during the second half of 2001

During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, general and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenues increased to 6.6% and 5.9% from 5.6% and 5.5%, respectively

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001 depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,035,404 (4.4% of food and beverage sales) compared to $986,515 (4.0% of food and beverage sales) in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2,084,526 (4.3% of food and beverage sales) compared to $1,941,609 (3.9% of food and beverage sales) in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2000.

18

The increase primarily relates to the increase in net assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 2001 versus 2000 due to the opening or acquisition of new restaurants, and the remodel of existing restaurants.

For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2001 interest expense was $233,702 (1.0% of total revenues) versus $257,752(1.0% of total revenues) for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2000. For the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2001, interest expense increased to $516,004 (1.0% of total revenues) from $481,314 (1.0% of total revenues) in the comparable 2000 period. The increase primarily related to the Company's accelerated construction schedule for the first half of 2001 on both new stores and remodels, which required borrowings on the line of credit.


Income Taxes

The Company's benefit from income taxes was $352,930 during the first half of 2001 versus a provision for $47,648 for the 2000 comparable period. The effective tax rates for the periods ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, are as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks		Twenty-Six Weeks
	July 1,	June 25,		July 1,	June 25,
	2001	2000		2001	2000
Effective income    tax rates. . .	(35.2)%	20.0%		(35.6)%	25.0%

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted-average common shares outstanding for the basic EPS calculation were 2,958,065 and 3,003,906 in the quarters ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively, and 2,961,359 and 3,000,584 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The sum of the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents for the diluted EPS calculation was 2,958,065 and 3,003,906 in the quarters ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively, and 2,961,359 and 3,076,786 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000, respectively. Diluted EPS is not calculated for periods where the Company had a net loss as the result would be antidilutive.

19

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation on the costs of food and beverage products, labor and real estate can affect the Company's operations. Over the past few years, inflation has had a lesser impact on the Company's operations due to the lower rates of inflation in the nation's economy and the economic conditions in the Company's market areas.

Management believes the Company has historically been able to pass on increased costs through certain selected menu price increases and increased productivity and purchasing efficiencies, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the future. Market conditions will determine the Company's ability to pass through such additional costs and expenses. Management anticipates that the average cost of restaurant real estate leases and construction costs could increase in the future which could affect the Company's ability to expand. In addition, mandated health care and an increase in the Federal or state minimum wages could significantly increase the Company's costs of doing business as well as substantial increases in utility costs experienced by the Company. Under the Company's policy of expensing pre-opening costs as incurred, income from operations, on an annual and quarterly basis, could be adversely affected during periods of restaurant development; howev er, the Company believes that its initial investment in the restaurant pre-opening costs yields a long-term benefit of increased operating income in subsequent periods.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At July 1, 2001, the Company's current ratio was .32 to 1 compared to 0.30 to 1 at December 31, 2000. The Company's working capital was $(8,461,000) at July 1, 2001 versus $(11,039,000) at December 31, 2000. As is customary in the restaurant industry, the Company has operated with negative working capital and has not required large amounts of working capital. Historically, the Company has leased the majority of its restaurant locations and through a strategy of controlled growth, financed its expansion from operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of common stock and utilizing the Company's revolving line of credit.

During the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2001, the Company had net cash used in operating activities of $(2,200,000) as compared to $(225,000) during the comparable 2000 period.  This decrease is due primarily to large prepayments in 2000 for first quarter 2001 business as well as decreased profitability as discussed throughout Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

20

During 2001, as of the date of this report, the Company opened one Garfield's and two Garcia's. The company plans to open one more Garfield's during 2001 in a restaurant location leased in a regional mall site. The Company believes the cash generated from its operations and borrowing availability under it's credit facility (described below), will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's net capital expenditures and working capital requirements during 2001.

In February 1999, the Company entered into a senior credit facility with a bank in the aggregate amount of $14,600,000, of which a maximum of $6,000,000 is available to the Company under a revolving line of credit and $8,600,000 was available to the Company under a term loan. Certain proceeds of the term loan (approximately $5.4 million) were used to repurchase 1,056,200 shares of the Company's common stock (transaction described below). The balance of the proceeds under the term loan (approximately $3.2 million) and the initial proceeds under the revolving line of credit were used to retire indebtedness under the Company's existing loan agreement. As of July 1, 2001, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately $5,732,000 under the revolving line of credit. Outstanding borrowings under both the revolving line of credit and term loan bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.45% as of July 1, 2001). The interest rate is reset quarterly. There is no non-use fee relat ed to either facility. The revolving line of credit had a two-year term with maturity in February 2001. However, the Company has received a commitment from its lender to extend the final maturity date to September 2002. Accordingly the debt has been classified as long-term on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet. Under the term loan, outstanding principal and interest are payable quarterly in the amount necessary to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance over a seven-year period, with a final maturity in February 2004. The term loan converts to a five-year amortization schedule if the Company's debt coverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, exceeds a certain level. Additionally, the floating interest rate on both facilities is subject to changes in the Company's ratio of total loans and capital leases to net worth. Under the terms of these notes, the Company's maximum floating rate is three-month LIBOR plus 2.50%. Borrowings under this loan agreement are unsecured. The loan agreement contains certain financial covenants and restrictions. As of the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with these covenants and restrictions. The revolving credit facility included in this loan agreement provides the Company adequate borrowing capacity to continue its expansion plans for Garfield's and Garcia's for the next two years.

21

In March 2001, the Company entered into an additional credit facility with a bank in the amount of $1,000,000 that is available to the Company under a revolving line of credit. As of July 1, 2001 the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,000,000 under the revolving line of credit. The credit facility bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1.50% (8.25% at July 1, 2001), which is set monthly. There is a one-quarter of a percent (.25%) non-use fee relate to this facility. This credit facility matures in September 2001.

In November 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank to hedge its risk exposure to potential increases in LIBOR. This agreement has a term of five years and an initial notional amount of $9,500,000. The notional amount declines quarterly over the life of the agreement on a seven-year amortization schedule assuming a fixed interest rate of 7.68%. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays interest quarterly on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 7.68%, and receives interest quarterly on the notional amount at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.25%. The notional amount as of July 1, 2001 was $5,378,639. The unrealized gains for the periods ended July 1, 2001 and June 25, 2000 were immaterial.

In April 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In July 1997, an additional 200,000 shares were authorized for repurchase. As of July 1, 2001, 197,762 shares had been repurchased under this plan for a total purchase price of approximately $695,000. No additional shares have been repurchased subsequent to July 1, 2001.
