CREATIVE HOST SERVICES, INC. Notes to Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to represent fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Net income per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this commentary are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning anticipated trends in revenues, the future mix of Company revenues, the ability of the Company to reduce certain operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues, the ability of the Company to reduce General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of total sales, and the potential increase in net income and cash flow. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in such forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include the inability to obtain the substantial additional capital necessary to acquire other businesses and to complete construction of capital improvements awarded under existing or future concession agreements, possible early termination of existing concession contracts, possible delay in the commencement of concession operations at newly awarded concession facilities, the inability to attract and retain qualified management to manage operations, the need to obtain continuing approvals from government regulatory authorities, the inability to close any potential merger or acquisition and other risks disclosed in public reports published by the Company or inherent in the Company's business. OVERVIEW The Company commenced business in 1987 as an owner, operator and franchisor of French style cafes featuring hot meal croissants, fresh roasted gourmet coffee, fresh salads and pastas, fruit filled pastries, muffins and other bakery products. The Company currently has nine restaurant franchises that operate independently from its airport concession business. The restaurant franchise business has never been profitable for the Company. The Company has not sold a new franchise since 1994. In 1990, the Company entered the airport food and beverage concession market when it was awarded a concession to operate a food and beverage location for John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, which is currently operated by a franchisee. In 1994, the Company was awarded its first multiple concession contract for the Denver International Airport, where it was awarded a second concession in 1994 and two subsequent concessions in 1996. The success of the franchisees operating the Orange County and Denver International Airport concessions prompted the Company to enter into the airport concession business. Since 1994, the Company has opened 70 concession locations at 23 airports. In 1996, the company was awarded its first master concession contract for the airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where it has the right to install and manage all food, beverage, news & gift and other services. As a result of this transition in its business, the Company's historical revenues have been derived from three principal sources: airport concession revenues, restaurant franchise royalties and wholesale sales from its food preparation center. These revenue categories comprise a fluctuating percentage of total revenues from year to year. Over the past six years, revenues from concession operations have grown from 59% of total revenues in 1995 to 99% of total revenues in 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the period indicated selected items of the Company's statement of income and operations as a percentage of total revenues.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 Revenues. The Company's gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $15,382,647 compared to $13,530,444 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $1,852,203 or 13.7%. The increase in concession revenues was principally attributable to the operation of concessions awarded in 1999 for a full nine-month period. Additionally, same store sales for concession locations that were open for a full nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 1999 increased 7.1% from $13,333,898 to $14,277,146. Cost of Goods Sold. The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $4,928,572 compared to $4,214,540 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, the cost of goods sold slightly increased to 32% from 31%. The Company's cost of goods sold is primarily food costs. Increased fuel costs during the second and third quarter of 2000 have contributed to the increase in distribution cost resulting in the rise in cost of goods sold. Those costs are generally higher as a percentage of revenues on the opening of a new facility until the Company establishes stable patterns of demand for its products. The Company believes that costs of goods sold of 30% of total revenues represents a relatively sustainable level. Management hopes to be able to reduce costs of goods sold as a percentage of sales slightly from this figure through increased purchasing power, distribution and operation efficiencies. Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $9,879,881 compared to $8,877,865 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Payroll expenses increased to $4,966,608 for the nine months September 30, 2000 from $4,333,485 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, payroll remained the same at 32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in payroll dollar amounts is due to the addition of new concession facilities. General, administrative,selling and selling decreased to $1,736,942 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,803,819 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Depreciation expense increased to $862,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $573,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, general, administrative and selling expenses decreased to 11% from 13%. Interest Expense. Interest expense net decreased to $315,210 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $521,893 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in interest expense is related to the conversion of $3,000,000 of Notes into Common Stock. Thus reducing the debt. Net Income/Loss. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $253,153 compared to a net loss of $84,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Management attributes this increase in income to a reduction in interest charges relating to the note conversion and improvements in overall operations. The Company anticipates that net income from existing operations should increase commensurate with cost savings that result from economies of scale and efficiencies obtained at the operating level and full twelve months operation of newly opened locations. EBITDA. EBITDA increased to $1,436,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $1,139,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is related to corresponding reductions in overall costs of operations. The Company anticipates this trend should continue to improve. The Company does not believe that inflation has had an adverse affect on its revenues and earnings. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 Revenues. The Company's gross revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $5,704,085 compared to $4,875,642 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $828,443 or 17%. The increase in concession revenues was principally attributable to the operation of concessions awarded in 1999 for a full three-month period as well as completion of a newly awarded airport location in 2000. Additionally same store sales for concession locations that were open for a full three month period ended Sept 30, 1999 increased 3.7% to $5,000,421 from $4,824,225. Cost of Goods Sold. The cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1,876,529 compared to $1,554,743 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, the cost of goods sold increased slightly to 32.9% from 31.9%. The Company's cost of goods sold are primarily food costs. Increased fuel costs during the third quarter 2000 have contributed to the increase in distribution cost resulting in the rise of cost of goods sold. Those costs are generally higher as a percentage of revenues on the opening of a new facility until the Company establishes stable patterns of demand for its products. The Company believes that costs of goods sold of 30% of total revenues represents a relatively sustainable level. Management hopes to be able to reduce costs of goods sold as a percentage of sales slightly from this figure through increased purchasing power, distribution and operating efficiencies. Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $3,594,944 compared to $3,109,201 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Payroll expenses increased to $1,827,575 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,514,301 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, payroll increased to 32.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 31.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in payroll dollar amounts is due to the addition of new concession facilities. General, administrative, and selling expenses decreased to $605,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $624,549 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, general, administrative and selling expenses decreased to 10.6% from 12.8%. Interest Expense. Interest expense net decreased to $54,537 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $172,850 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Net Income/Loss. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $178,075 compared to income of $38,464 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Management attributes this increase in income to a reduction in interest charges relating to the note conversion and improvements in overall operations. The Company anticipates that net income from existing operations should increase commensurate with cost savings that result from the economies of scale and efficiencies obtained at the operating level and full twelve months operation of newly opened locations. EBITDA. EBITDA increased to $552,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $412,648 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is related to corresponding reductions in overall costs of operations. The Company anticipates this trend should continue to improve. The Company does not believe that inflation has had an adverse affect on it's revenues and earnings. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In December 1998 the Company made a private placement of $3,000,000 of 12% Secured Notes due December 21, 2003, the proceeds of which were utilized to finance the construction and capital improvements for new airport concessions, and to repay outstanding indebtedness. During 1999 the company continued to need additional financing to establish its airport facilities, which was met primarily with equipment lease financing and two small private placements of Common Stock to accredited investors. Approximately $467,000 of equity capital was raised from the private placement. The Company's working capital position improved in December 1999 when the holder of $1,495,000 outstanding amount of 12% Secured Notes converted the entire balance held by him into Common Stock at a rate of $2.625 per share. In January and March, 2000, the remaining $1,505,000 of outstanding 12% Secured Notes were converted into Common Stock at the rate of $2.625 per share. The exercise of the outstanding warrants that were issued at the same time as the Notes did not improve the Company's liquidity because they were exercised on a "cashless" basis, resulting in the issuance of shares without a capital contribution to the Company. The cashless exercise did, however, result in less dilution in the outstanding number of shares than if the warrants had been exercised for cash. The prior holder of $1,505,000 of notes has filed a lawsuit against the Company claiming that it is entitled to the issuance of approximately 106,500 additional warrants to purchase Common Stock as payment of accrued but unpaid interest in 1999, alleging that an agreement was made for the payment of such interest by the granting of such warrants. The prior noteholder is asserting that the exercise price of such warrants should be $1.25 per share or less. The Company did not grant the warrants and does not believe that it agreed to grant them. The Company has tendered approximately $39,000 in cash to the holder as payment of the interest, and therefore deems the interest paid in full. The Company will vigorously defend against the claim for additional warrants and plans to file counterclaims against the prior lender. There is, however, no assurance that the Company will not be obligated to issue additional warrants or shares as a result of this claim. The Company's liquidity and working capital improved significantly commencing in January, 2000 as a result of (a) the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock for an exercise price of $5.40 per share, pursuant to which approximately $2,322,000 of capital had been raised as of August 2, 2000, with approximately 32,000 remaining $5.40 warrants yet to be exercised as of that date, (b) the private placement of approximately 240,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $5.00 per share, pursuant to which approximately $1,200,000 of gross capital and approximately $1,080,000 of net capital was raised in early 2000, (c) the private placement of 125,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $7.00 per share, pursuant to which approximately $875,000 of capital was raised, and (d) the private placement of 207,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $7.25 per share, pursuant to which approximately $1,500,000 of capital was raised. Assuming that the remaining 32,000 warrants with the $5.40 per share exercise price are exercised, the Company would realize approximately $172,800 of additional capital. There is no assurance as to if or when those warrants will be exercised. While the Company believes that the capital raised from the private placement of Common Stock and the exercise of the $5.40 warrants will be adequate to meet facility construction needs in 2000 and eliminate or substantially reduce the need for equipment lease financing, the Company must raise additional capital in 2000 to finance the acquisition of Gladco, Inc. and - may need additional capital for other acquisitions if suitable candidates can be found. The leases guaranteed by Mr. Ali are the equipment leases for the Company's food and beverage facilities at Lexington, Kentucky (approximately $150,000), and the airports in Madison and Appleton, Wisconsin (approximately $300,000). The equipment leases each have a term of 60 months, are payable in equal monthly installments and have an interest rate of approximately 17.5%. Upon payment of the last installment on each lease, the Company will own the equipment. When the Company is awarded a new concession facility, it is generally committed to expend a negotiated amount for the capital improvements to the facility. In addition, the Company is responsible for acquiring equipment necessary to conduct its operations. As a result, the Company incurs substantial expenses for capital improvements at the commencement of a concession term. Generally, however, the term of the concession grant will be for a period of ten years, providing the Company an opportunity to recover its capital expenditures. Substantially all of the Company's concession locations have been obtained in the past four years, which has resulted in significant capital needs. As a result, the Company has been required to seek capital, and to apply capital from operations, for the construction of capital improvements at newly awarded concession locations. The Company intends to continue to bid for concession locations, including bidding on larger proposals. Anticipated cash flows from operations will not be sufficient to finance new acquisitions at the level of growth that the Company has experienced over the past three years. Accordingly, to the extent the Company is successful in securing new concession contracts, the Company may continue to need additional capital, in addition to cash flow from operations, in order to finance the construction of capital improvements and acquisitions. The Company had working capital for the nine months at September 30, 2000 of $4,554,856 compared to $(1,170,367) for the nine months at September 30, 1999. Some capital improvement costs were incurred to meet the requirements of new airport concession contracts. As of September 30, 2000 the Company has reduced its debt from the approximately $7,200,000 to $3,600,000 thus increasing its equity position from approximately $5,200,000 to $12,600,000. Additionally, during the Company's second fiscal quarter it raised $875,000 of capital through the sale of common stock in a private placement. The 462,500 outstanding warrants issued during the initial public offering are now being exercised at $5.40. The management believes all the warrants will be exercised which will result in additional capital of $2,494,800. As of November 10, 2000 approximately 430,000 warrants have been exercised resulting in capital contribution of approximately $2,322,000. However, there is no assurance regarding the actual amount of warrants exercised. The Company expects to have additional capital requirements to pay the purchase price for the acquisitions of other companies. During the second quarter, the Company entered into a letter of intent to purchase 100% of Macheezmo Mouse Restaurants, Inc., a concession company with annual revenues of approximately $4.5 million. The purchase price includes the issuance of shares of common stock only. Furthermore, the Company may have additional capital requirements in 2000 to finance the construction of new airport concessions, restaurants and other concession related businesses such as news & gifts, specialty, in-flight catering and other services. The Company may have additional capital requirements to the extent that it wins additional contracts from its current and future airport concession bids and acquisitions. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital. In September 2000, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of GladCo Enterprises, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, HLG Acquisition Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation, and limited partners of HLG Franchise Marketing Company, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, (collectively "GladCo"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $6,903,638 in cash and common stock and assumed debt in the amount of $96,362 in exchange for all the outstanding shares of GladCo. The transaction became effective October 8, 2000. The Company financed the GladCo acquisition through the sale of equity securities and a $2 million dollar based loan from Global Capital Financing. The loan is repayable at a rate of 7% interest per annum. Associated loan costs totaled $186,500. The loan is convertible into common stock of the company. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -------- CHST was obligated to pay the outstanding original principal amount of $3,000,000 of 12% Secured Convertible Notes issued on December 21, 1998 (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes were payable interest only on a monthly basis, with all principal and accrued but unpaid interest due in full on December 21, 2003. The Note also contained requirements for maintenance of coverage and cash flow ratios, as well as other restrictions. During 1999 CHST was in technical default on certain of those covenants, triggering the accrual of default interest equal to an additional 3% per annum, raising the overall interest rate on the Note during that period to 15% per annum. Restrictions in the Note also contributed to preventing us from submitting bid proposals for three airport locations that we otherwise would have sought in 1999. The entire outstanding balance of the Note was converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with its terms in late 1999 and early 2000, and all shares issued to the Noteholders were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2000, as required by the terms of the Notes. We tendered the default interest payments to the Noteholders, one of which accepted the payment with respect to $1,495,000 original principal amount of Note. The other Noteholder which previously held $1,505,000 original principal amount of Note has received the default interest payment of approximately $39,000, but is claiming that we agreed to issue approximately 106,000 warrants to the Noteholder in lieu of the cash payment for default interest. The Noteholder is claiming that the warrants would entitle it to purchase our common stock at prices prevailing in October or November of 1999. We vigorously deny the Noteholder's claims and do not believe that we agreed to issue any warrants to the Noteholder. Nevertheless, there is no assurance regarding the outcome of the dispute and, if litigation results, we could incur significant costs. ITEM 2. CHANGE IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS -------- Effective October 9, 2000, the Company issued 69,638 shares of common stock to the previous shareholders of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of Gladco by the Company. This issuance was completed in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. CHST obtained the funds for the acquisition of Gladco by the sale of approximately $2,000,000 in 7% Convertible Debentures due September 26, 2003 (the "Debentures") to GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited. The purchase price of the Debentures was 95% of the principal amount plus costs, resulting in $1,813,500 in proceeds to the Company. The Debentures are convertible at the lower of 110% of the volume weighted average sales price of CHST common stock on the day immediately preceding closing or 85% of the five lowest volume weighted average sales prices of the CHST common stock during the 25 days immediately preceding the date of a notice of conversion. CHST also issued 125,000 warrants to purchase CHST common stock to GCA Strategic Investment Fund at an exercise price of 102% of the closing bid price on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. CHST agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants on Form S-3. The agreements provide certain negative covenants requiring compliance with terms by CHST and are adjustable upon certain events. ITEM 3.
