The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 4 6 JERRY'S FAMOUS DELI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION: Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jerry's Famous Deli, Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("the Company") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in Management's opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. The December 31, 1999 consolidated balance sheet is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's December 31, 1999 Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the information not misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the preceding fiscal year. Organization The accompanying consolidated financial statements consist of Jerry's Famous Deli, Incorporated ("JFD--Inc."), a California corporation, JFD--Encino ("JFD--Encino"), a California limited partnership, and National Deli Corporation, ("NDC"), a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of JFD--Inc. JFD--Inc. and JFD--Encino operate family oriented, full-service restaurants. NDC operates The Epicure Market ("Epicure"), a specialty gourmet food store located in Miami Beach, Florida. These entities are collectively referred to as "Jerry's Famous Deli, Inc." or the "Company." JFD--Inc. and JFD--Encino include the operations of the Southern California restaurants located in Studio City, Encino, Marina del Rey, West Hollywood, Westwood, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, and Costa Mesa. JFD--Inc. also includes the two Rascal House restaurants located in Miami Beach and Boca Raton, Florida.

5 7 JERRY'S FAMOUS DELI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. NET INCOME PER SHARE In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. 4. SALE OF PASADENA PROPERTY The Company closed escrow on the sale of its Pasadena facility at the close of business on May 2, 1999. The gross proceeds from the sale were $4,120,000. Of these proceeds, approximately $3,750,000 was used to reduce the Company's debt and the remaining proceeds were applied to other related costs of the sale. No significant gain or loss resulted from the sale. 5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY As of February 3, 2000, the Company's stock is being traded over the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. On February 9, 2000, the Company completed a one-for-three reverse stock split of its Common Stock applicable to the shareholders of record on February 9, 2000. The reverse stock split reduced the Company's outstanding shares from 14,019,203 to approximately 4,673,068. All common share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split for the periods presented. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In May of 2000 the Starkman Family Partnership (an affiliate of the Company) advised the Company that it would be selling two parcels of land constituting the primary parking facility for the West Hollywood restaurant. The Company currently leases these two parcels from the Starkman Family Partnership on terms arranged before the Company's initial public offering. The Company had no option or right of first refusal in relation to the parcels. The West Hollywood restaurant facility is leased by the Company from a third party landlord. The parcels are required for use of the restaurant facility. The independent Directors of the Company determined that control of the parking lots was strategically important to the Company, especially in future lease negotiations with the landlord of the restaurant facility. In addition, with the rent projected to be equivalent to the carrying cost of the funds to purchase the property, the Directors believed that the future appreciation in value would be a valuable asset to the Company. The Starkman Family Partnership agreed to sell the parcels to the Company at a price determined by an independent third party appraiser acceptable to both the independent Directors and the Starkman Family Partnership. This transaction was approved in July 2000 and is expected to close in August 2000. The purchase price is set at $1,420,000. The purchase price will be financed through funds available on the Company's line of credit. Although the sales transaction is in escrow, the possibility does exist that it may not close due to unforeseen events. 6 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The following table presents for the three and six months ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company expressed as percentages of total revenue. The results of operations for the first six months of 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2000.

7 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased approximately $497,000, or 3.0%, to approximately $16,264,000 for the 2000 quarter from approximately $16,761,000 for the 1999 quarter. The overall decrease in revenues was in part due to the sale of the Pasadena restaurant, which had revenues of approximately $246,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Also contributing to the overall decrease was a decrease in revenues of approximately $424,000 for the Florida restaurants and a decrease in revenues of approximately $165,000 or 1.6% in same store sales for the eight Southern California stores in operation since January 1, 1999. The combined decrease in revenues was primarily offset by an increase in sales of approximately $375,000 for The Epicure Market. Management attributes the decrease in restaurant sales primarily due to increased competition in both California and Florida. Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 0.7 percentage points to 34.1% for the 2000 quarter from 34.8% for the 1999 quarter. This decrease is primarily the result of the Company's continued focus on more efficient buying and increased management monitoring of purchase costs at both the restaurants and Epicure. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased slightly by 1.5 percentage points to 63.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 64.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The overall decrease in total expenses is primarily attributable to the overall decrease in operating expenses, which as a percentage of revenues, decreased 1.5 percentage points to 51.1% for the 2000 quarter from 52.6% for the 1999 quarter. The overall decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in labor expense of 1.3 percentage points to 36.3% for the 2000 quarter from 37.6% for the 1999 quarter. The decrease in labor expense is primarily the result of operational improvements and the leveling of labor costs which occurs when all restaurants have been open for more than one year, combined with the impact of the sale of the Pasadena restaurant. Labor costs for Epicure decreased 1.5 percentage points to 29.3% of Epicure revenues for the 2000 quarter as compared to 30.8% for the same quarter in 1999. Also contributing to this decrease is a slight decrease in occupancy and other of 0.2 percentage points to 14.8% for the 2000 quarter from 15.0% for the same quarter in 1999. In addition, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 0.4 percentage points, to 6.6% for the 2000 quarter from 7.0% in the 1999 quarter. However, this decrease was offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization expense, as a percentage of revenue, of 0.4 percentage point to 5.5% for 2000 from 5.1% for the 1999 quarter. The decrease in interest expense of approximately $37,000 to approximately $270,000 for the 2000 second quarter from approximately $307,000 for the same 1999 period, primarily resulted from the reduction of the Company's debt. Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Revenues decreased approximately $1,263,000, or 3.5%, to approximately $35,085,000 for the 2000 six-month period from approximately $36,348,000 for the 1999 six-month period. The overall decrease in revenues was in part due to the sale of the Pasadena restaurant, which had revenues of approximately $977,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Also contributing to the overall decrease was a decrease in revenues of approximately $693,000 for the Florida restaurants and a decrease in revenues of approximately $100,000 or 0.5% in same store sales for the eight Southern California stores in operation since January 1, 1999. The combined decrease in revenues was primarily offset by an increase in sales of approximately $533,000 for The Epicure Market. The reason for this overall decrease is discussed in the above quarter-to-quarter comparison. Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 1.0 percentage points, to 33.8% for the 2000 period from 34.8% for the 1999 period. The reasons for this decrease are discussed in the above quarter-to-quarter comparison. 8 10 Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased slightly by 1.0 percentage point to 60.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 61.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The overall decrease in total expenses is primarily attributable to the overall decrease in operating expenses, which as a percentage of revenues, decreased 1.3 percentage points to 49.2% for 2000 from 50.5% for the same six month 1999 period. The overall decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in labor expense of 1.2 percentage points to 35.0% for the 2000 six month period from 36.2% for the same 1999 period. In addition, while general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, remained comparable at 6.6% for the 2000 and the 1999 six month period, the decrease in operating expenses was partially offset by a slight increase in depreciation and amortization expense, as a percentage of revenues, of 0.3 percentage point to 5.0% for the 2000 six month period from 4.7% for the same 1999 period. The aforementioned changes are mostly due to the same factors as those discussed above with respect to the quarter-to-quarter comparison. Interest expense decreased approximately $133,000 to approximately $533,000 for the period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $666,000 for the same 1999 period mostly due to the reduction in the Company's debt. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company paid down approximately $1,900,000 of debt and used approximately $167,000 for the distribution of capital to minority shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company's capital requirements are primarily for the development, construction and equipping of new restaurants. Generally, the Company leases the property and extensively remodels the existing building. Additional capital expenditures will be required if new locations are added. The cost of renovation will depend upon the style of restaurant being converted. Renovation of Jerry's Famous Deli restaurants have cost between $2.0 million and $3.0 million per location, or $267 to $400 per square foot. In September 1998, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 credit facility with BankBoston, N.A. in the form of a $9,000,000 term loan and $6,000,000 revolving line of credit. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company repaid certain existing debt with the proceeds from the term loan. The term loan and the revolver mature five years from inception and bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus a variable percentage margin totaling approximately 8.6% at June 30, 2000. The debt is collateralized by assets of the Company and includes certain financial covenants. Management believes that cash on hand, including cash available on the line of credit and cash flows from operations will be sufficient for operation of the Company's existing restaurants and market. Future anticipated capital needs cannot be projected with certainty. Additional capital expenditures will be required if new locations are added. The Company continues to search for prime locations appropriate for its customer base and to develop them into restaurants, both in the Southern California and Southern Florida areas, as well as new areas, while continuing to provide quality food and service in its existing restaurants. However, the issue of whether or not to aggressively expand, in light of stock market conditions, is currently under review. The Company seeks to exploit its brand names for ancillary income from licensing and possibly third party retail sales. This is a new initiative and the outlook is not yet clear. Statements made herein that are not historical facts are forward looking statements and are subject to a number of risk factors, including the public's acceptance of the Jerry's Famous Deli format in each new location, consumer trends in the restaurant industry, competition from other restaurants, the costs and delays experienced in the course of remodeling or building new restaurants, the amount and rate of growth of administrative expenses associated with building the infrastructure needed for future growth, the availability, amount, type and cost of financing for the Company and general economic conditions and other factors. Further information on these and other factors is contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and its other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
