PART I

ITEM 1 BUSINESS

GENERAL

California Beach Restaurants, Inc., ("Registrant" or "Company "), was organized under the laws of the State of California in April 1971. The Registrant is currently engaged in one line of business, the ownership and operation of restaurants, including Gladstone's 4 Fish ("Gladstone's") in Pacific Palisades, California and RJ's - Beverly Hills ("RJ's") in Beverly Hills, California.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS - CONCEPT AND MENU

The Registrant owns and operates the following restaurants through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sea View Restaurants, Inc. ("Sea View"):

GLADSTONE'S 4 FISH. Gladstone's is one of Southern California's best known fresh seafood restaurants. In 1972, the original Gladstone's was opened as a small, 80-seat establishment in Santa Monica Canyon near the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, California. In 1981, Gladstone's was moved to its present location on the beach at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, California. Based on restaurant industry surveys, Gladstone's is one of the top grossing restaurants in America. The 10,000 square foot interior of Gladstone's seats approximately 400, while the outside deck has a seating capacity of approximately 300 in a 6,000 square foot area. Gladstone's is open 365 days a year for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served on weekends. The Registrant completed construction of substantial improvements to its Gladstone's restaurant in October 1999. The improvements, including the outside deck, have enhanced the dining accomodations.

Gladstone's offers an extensive menu specializing in fresh fish and shellfish. Gladstone's strives to purchase only the finest seafood products including, live Maine lobster, premium Alaskan red king crab, western Australian lobster tails and Mexican shrimp as well as the freshest fish available. Typical fresh fish on the menu include salmon, swordfish, catfish, ahi tuna, petrale sole, pacific red snapper, halibut and mahi-mahi. Gladstone's menu also includes a large number of salads, pasta dishes and sandwiches in addition to its extensive fresh fish and shellfish items.

Sandwich and salad prices begin at $9.29, with dinner entrees beginning at $15.79. A typical dinner entree includes soup or salad, hot sourdough bread, fresh vegetable and rice or potato. Gladstone's average check, including beverages and desserts, is approximately $23.50. Gladstone's portion sizes are very large and food that cannot be finished is wrapped in a gold foil animal "sculpture." The gold foil, which is manufactured specially for Gladstone's, is a signature element of the restaurant. Gladstone's is also well known for the full barrels of peanuts that are always available free of charge to guests and free "mile-high" cake for all birthday and anniversary celebrations.

2

RJ'S - BEVERLY HILLS. RJ's is located at 252 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California. RJ's was opened in 1979 and emphasizes its extensive salad bar, barbecued ribs and chicken, library bar and antique ceiling fans to create an attractive, casual dining atmosphere in the heart of Beverly Hills. RJ's is open for lunch and dinner from Monday through Saturday and dinner only on Sunday. The restaurant occupies approximately 7,500 square feet with seating capacity of approximately 260.

RJ's menu specializes in classic American food. RJ's signature items include barbecued beef and baby back pork ribs and a very extensive salad bar. RJ's menu also includes a wide selection of sandwiches and salads. Sandwich and salad pricing begins at $6.99 with dinner entrees starting at $12.99. RJ's average check is approximately $17.00. As with Gladstone's, portion sizes are very generous and waitstaff are trained to wrap all leftovers in signature gold foil animal sculptures.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS - GLADSTONE'S CONCESSION AGREEMENT

Sea View operates Gladstone's pursuant to a 20-year concession agreement with the County of Los Angeles ("County") that commenced November 1, 1997 ("Concession Agreement") following the expiration of its prior agreement. During February 1999, the Concession Agreement was amended. The Concession Agreement, as amended, obligates Sea View to pay minimum annual rental payments of $1,750,000 to the County. Percentage rents based on 10% of food sales and 12% of the combined sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise and parking lot revenue are payable to the extent that such percentage rents exceed the minimum annual rents. In addition to minimum annual rent and percentage rent, Sea View is required to pay "Supplemental Rent" to the County equal to the sum of $15,000 per year plus 1% of the excess of Gladstone's gross annual revenues over $14,000,000. The Registrant records rent expense on a straight line basis over the life of the agreement. See Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The agreement also requires Sea View to post a letter of credit equal to three months minimum rent ($437,500) and to maintain certain net worth levels.

The terms of the Concession Agreement afford the County the opportunity to conduct a valuation of the Gladstone's Pacific Palisades operations ("Concession"), at any time during the first 150 months of the Concession Agreement (commencing November 1, 1997) in the event of a sale of Gladstone's or 100% of the stock of Sea View or the Registrant, or at any time between the beginning of the 79th month and the end of the 150th month of the Concession Agreement. If the County elects to conduct a valuation, Sea View must thereafter pay the greater of (1) the Supplemental Rent Payments, or (2) an amount determined by amortizing the greater of 5% of the gross Concession value or 20% of the net Concession value (as determined pursuant to the Concession Agreement), less the aggregate amount of Supplemental Rent Payments paid through the date of the valuation, using an interest rate of 9% and equal payments of principal and interest, over the remaining term of the Concession Agreement.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS - MARKETING

Both of the Registrant's restaurants focus on the casual segment of the upper-end dinner house market. Management believes that its restaurants' reputation, developed over many years, of providing guests with a unique dining experience has been the most effective approach to attracting and retaining business. By focusing its resources on providing superior service and value, Gladstone's and RJ's have primarily relied on word of mouth to attract new business.

3

The restaurants have also developed unique promotions that are repeated on an annual basis. For example, both Gladstone's and RJ's have a special Christmas day promotion whereby each guest that dines in the restaurant on that day receives a gift certificate for the amount of their Christmas day food purchase. Additionally, Gladstone's has developed promotions tied to specific products such as Sockeye Salmonfest during July and Lobsterfest in October. During these promotions, which have run for several years, Gladstone's reduces menu prices and adds numerous daily menu specials related to the featured product. On a weekly basis, Gladstone's features special lobster prices each Thursday and special crab prices each Friday. The Registrant uses print and radio advertising from time to time to support its promotions.

Gladstone's also has developed other unique programs that are a key element of its marketing plan. Placemats used at each table are printed daily, allowing guests that have made a reservation to print a unique message such as welcoming a special friend, announcing the celebration of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. Guests are encouraged to take a placemat home as a reminder of their special experience at Gladstone's. An electronic message board is located in the front of the restaurant that is also used to welcome guests with special messages. All special occasions are also celebrated with a free picture that is placed in a customized photo sleeve to serve as a reminder of the special experience at Gladstone's.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS - PURCHASING

The Registrant's senior management establishes general purchasing guidelines. The Registrant continuously seeks to obtain quality menu ingredients and other supplies from reliable sources at competitive prices. From time to time the Registrant will negotiate contract purchases to insure product availability and to reduce short-term exposure to price fluctuations. Management believes that all essential food and beverage products are available from several qualified suppliers.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The Registrant is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. Each restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, including alcoholic beverage control, coastal development, health, safety and fire agencies. The Registrant has not experienced problems in obtaining or renewing required permits or licenses. The failure to receive or retain, or a delay in obtaining any significant license or permit could adversely impact the Registrant's operations.

Alcoholic beverage control regulations require that each restaurant apply to a state authority for a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises. Licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended, for cause, at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operation of each restaurant, including minimum age of patrons and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing and storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. Failure by the Registrant to retain its liquor license could adversely impact the Registrant's operations.

Various federal and state labor laws govern the Registrant's relationship with its employees, including such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and other working conditions. Significant additional increases in minimum wage, mandated paid leaves of absence or mandated universal health benefits could adversely impact the Registrant.

LICENSE AGREEMENT

GLADSTONE'S/UNIVERSAL CITY - In 1992 the Registrant entered into a license agreement with MCA Development Venture Two ("MCADVT"), an affiliate of Universal Studios, Inc., which permits MCADVT to use the Gladstone's 4 Fish name and trademarks at a restaurant in their CityWalk development located in Universal City, California in exchange for a royalty fee of .8% of the restaurant's gross receipts during such use. The Gladstone's 4 Fish restaurant at CityWalk opened in May 1993. Fees received pursuant to this agreement during fiscal 2000 were approximately $66,000.

TRADEMARKS

The Registrant and/or Sea View has registered several of its marks relating to the operation of Gladstone's and R.J.'s as trademarks and service marks and regards such marks as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of its restaurants.

COMPETITION

The Registrant's restaurants compete with a wide variety of restaurants, ranging from national and regional restaurant chains to locally owned restaurants. Restaurants historically have represented a high-risk investment in a very competitive industry. Many of the Registrant's competitors have significantly greater financial resources than the Registrant. The restaurant business is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns, national and regional economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. Any change in these factors could adversely impact the Registrant. Management believes that the Registrant's restaurants are comparable in quality, and in many cases superior, to competing restaurants. There is no assurance that the Registrant's restaurants will be able to compete successfully with other restaurants in their respective areas.

EMPLOYEES

The Registrant has approximately 261 employees in restaurant operations. The Registrant believes that its working conditions and compensation packages are competitive with those offered by its competitors and considers relations with its employees to be good.

SEASONALITY

The Registrant's restaurant business is seasonal due to Gladstone's location on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California. As a result, sales and operating profits are higher during the summer months.

ITEM 2 PROPERTIES

GLADSTONE'S LEASES. The current concession agreement for the restaurant provides for rent based on 10% of sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages and 12% of the sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise, and parking lot revenue, with an annual minimum rent of $1,750,000 and annual supplemental rent of $15,000 plus 1% of Gladstone's Pacific Palisades annual gross revenue in excess of $14,000,000. Rent paid under the current restaurant lease for Fiscal 2000 was approximately $1,750,000, representing approximately 15.6% of the restaurant's sales.

5

R.J.'S LEASE. In December 1994, the Registrant negotiated an amended and restated lease for RJ's. The amended lease expires in December 2004 subject to a non-guaranteed extension period of five years. The amended lease provides for monthly rental payments of $13,034 through December 2000. In January 2001 and 2004 the monthly lease payments are subject to further adjustment based on Consumer Price Index changes. Rent paid in Fiscal, 2000 was $156,404.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE. The Registrant occupies approximately 2,000 square feet of office space in Pacific Palisades, pursuant to a lease that expires in September 2002 and provides for current monthly rental payments of approximately $3,467. The lease agreement includes an option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Registrant is involved in litigation and threatened litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Registrant does not believe that resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business.

ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted to a vote of the Registrant's stockholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000.

The Subordinated Notes are immediately convertible into common stock of the Registrant at a rate of $1 per share, and pay interest at 5% per annum. The Registrant may pay interest on the Subordinated Notes in cash or in kind. All Interest due as of March 30, 2000 was paid in cash.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The Registrant currently has operations in one business segment, the ownership and operation of restaurants. The Registrant's restaurant operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea View. Sea View's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Thursday closest to April 30. The Fiscal Years 2000, 1999, and 1998 each contained 52 weeks.

The Registrant completed the construction of substantial improvements to its Gladstone's restaurant in October 1999. The improvements have enhanced the dining accommodations available to Gladstone's patrons. Construction of the improvements to Gladstone's was performed while the restaurant remained open to the public; however, substantial, albeit temporary, declines in seating capacity attributable to such construction adversely affected sales during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2000.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS

Restaurant operations include the results of Gladstone's 4 Fish in Pacific Palisades, California, and RJ's - Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California.

Total sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 were $13,382,000, a decrease of $305,000 or 2.2% as compared to the year ended April 30, 1999. The Registrant's Gladstone's 4 Fish restaurant 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. Gladstone's 4 Fish Fiscal 2000 revenues were adversely affected by the restaurant remodel during the summer months of 1999. The remodel caused a temporary reduction in seating capacity and a commensurate reduction in revenue. The summer months typically result in higher sales due to Gladstone's location on the beach.

Total sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 were $13,687,000, a decrease of $475,000 or 3.4% as compared to the year ended April 30, 1998. Gladstone's 4 Fish revenues were adversely affected during the first quarter of Fiscal 1999 by inclement weather and road closures resulting from the "El Nino" storms. Additionally, during the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 1999, the Registrant commenced construction of improvements to Gladstone's causing a temporary reduction in seating capacity and a commensurate decrease in revenue.

In May 1993, MCA Development, Inc.("MCAD") opened a Gladstone's 4 Fish at its Citywalk project in Universal City, California pursuant to a license agreement between the Registrant and a subsidiary of MCAD. License fees for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $66,000, $71,000 and $81,000, respectively.

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

8

sold, as a percentage of sales, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 was 88.9% compared to 87.1% for fiscal 1999 and 87.4% for fiscal 1998.

The increase in cost of goods sold in Fiscal 2000, as compared to Fiscal 1999 and Fiscal 1998, as a percentage of sales, is the result of increased operating costs incurred during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2000 attributable to the construction of improvements to Gladstone's during normal operating hours while the restaurant remained open to the public. The Registrant's efforts to minimize inconvenience and provide uninterrupted service to the public during that time resulted in temporary increases in labor and other operating costs that are not expected to recur. Rent expense was consistent in Fiscal 2000 on less sales, also contributing to the increase in cost of sales as a percent of sales.

Cost of goods sold was $11,928,000 in Fiscal 1999 as compared to $12,371,000 in Fiscal 1998, a decrease of $443,000 or 3.5%. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 was 87.1% compared to 87.4% for fiscal 1998. Gladstone's rent expense for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 was $1,728,000 as compared to $1,501,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998. Rents required by Gladstone's Concession Agreement are substantially greater than those associated with the prior agreement between Sea View and the County. Minimum annual rent expense under the new Concession Agreement is $1,728,000. The Registrant's concerted effort to reduce costs resulted in the decline in the amount of cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, in Fiscal 1999, as compared to Fiscal 1998.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 2000, was $950,000 compared to $956,000 for the year ended April 30, 1999. As a percentage of sales selling, general and administrative expense was 7.1% for Fiscal 2000,compared to 7.0% for Fiscal 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 1999 decreased $740,000 or 43.6% as compared with the year ended April 30, 1998. The decrease is due to the Registrant's continuing efforts to reduce such expenses, as well as the non-recurrence of certain unusual expenses relating to the execution of the new Concession Agreement for Gladstone's, including an executive bonus of $370,000, financing costs of $131,000, and consulting fees of $68,000 that were included in the results of operations for the year ended April 30, 1998.

LEGAL AND LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

Legal and litigation settlement expenses for the year ended April 30,2000 decreased by $29,000 or 27.9% as compared with the year ended April 30, 1999. The decrease was associated with a general decrease in outstanding legal matters.

Legal and litigation settlement expenses for the year ended April 30, 1999 decreased by $349,000, or 77.0% as compared with the year ended April 30, 1998. The decrease in such expenses is primarily due to the inclusion in the operating results for year ended April 30, 1998 of legal expenses and settlement costs relating to a litigation matter that was

9

resolved that year. The remaining decrease is attributable to the Registrant's utilization of in-house counsel for representation in certain matters and management of external counsel in other matters.

INTEREST EXPENSE

For the year ended April 30, 2000, the Registrant recorded interest expense of $282,000, net of interest income of $7,000, primarily relating to the note payable with Lyon Credit, for the Gladstone's remodel, and interest expense on the convertible notes.

For the year ended April 30, 1999, the Registrant recorded interest expense of $303,000, net of interest income of $5,000, primarily related to the cost of maintaining the letter of credit required by the Concession Agreement and to the cost of the registrant's revolving line of credit.

DEPRECIATION/AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

For the years ended April 30, 2000,1999 and 1998 depreciation expense was $384,000, $362,000 and $299,000, respectively. During the year ended April 30, 2000, the Registrant placed $1,507,000 of assets that were classified as construction in progress at April 30,1999 into service, and also purchased an additional $1,332,000 of fixed assets, resulting in an increase in depreciation expense over prior years. The assets placed in service pertain to the renovation of the Gladstone's location completed in July of 1999. Amortization expense relates completely to the Registrant's Goodwill and other intangible assets and approximated $714,000 per year.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

For the year ended April 30, 2000,1999 and 1998 the Registrant recorded income tax expense of $2,000, $2,000 and $38,000, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On March 30, 1999, the Registrant completed a private offering of $1,800,000 of subordinated, convertible notes ("Subordinated Notes") to a limited number of existing shareholders of the Registrant who are "accredited investors" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the offering were used to retire existing indebtedness to Outside LLC, an entity affiliated with one of the Company's directors and principal shareholders, and to finance the renovations at Gladstone's. The Subordinated Notes are immediately convertible into common stock of the Registrant at a rate of $1 per share, and pay interest at 5% per annum. The Registrant may pay interest on the Subordinated Notes in cash or in kind. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 30, 2003; provided, however, that the holders of the Subordinated Notes may elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes on March 30, 2002.

The Registrant has entered into an agreement for tenant improvement and equipment financing with Lyon Credit Corporation ("TI Facility") of $1,089,000 to be repaid over a 5 year period with interest at the rate of 9.94%. At April 30, 2000, the balance due under the TI Facility was $988,000.

10

On July 7, 1999, the Company entered into a one year, $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with U.S. Bank (formerly Santa Monica Bank). The agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1/2 %, and is secured by certain assets of the Company, including its license agreement with MCA for use of the name Gladstone's. It is also guaranteed by Sea View. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement. The Company utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as collateral support for a letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank pursuant to the Concession Agreement. The letter of credit was to expire on July 6, 2000, and subsequently has been renewed until July 6, 2001.

On September 30, 1999, the Company and U.S. Bank amended the terms of the revolving line of credit agreement to provide for a $200,000 increase in the maximum amount of the line of the credit from $500,000 to $700,000. The additional $200,000 of available borrowing capacity will be available to the Company during the period November 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000 only, after which the line of credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit. At April 30, 2000 no borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit. Line of credit expires on July 6, 2001.

On March 22, 2000, Sea View entered into a four-month, $250,000 line of credit agreement with Space Partners, an entity affiliated with one of the Registrant's principal stockholders and with a member of its board of directors. This agreement provided for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, required a commitment fee of $2,500 and was guaranteed by the Registrant. Interest expense associated with the agreement totaled $1,666 for fiscal year 2000. At April 30, 2000 the outstanding balance was $100,000.

Capital expenditures for the years ended April 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998 totaled approximately $1,332,000, $1,498,000, and $204,000 respectively. The registrant has no significant commitments for capital expenditures in fiscal 2001.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors
California Beach Restaurants, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries at April 30, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

April 30, 2000

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS

The Company has operations in a single business segment, the ownership and management of two restaurants, Gladstone's 4 Fish and RJ's - Beverly Hills.

FISCAL YEAR

The Company's restaurant operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea View Restaurants, Inc. (Sea View). Sea View's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Thursday closest to April 30. The fiscal years ended on April 27, April 29, and April 30 for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and each contained 52 weeks.

CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily of food, beverages and other restaurant supplies.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. At April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company believes there has been no impairment of the value of such assets.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of financial instruments such as cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of debt instruments approximates its fair value based on references to similar instruments.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture and equipment is computed by the straight-line method using lives ranging from 3 to 8 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining terms of the leases (including options expected to be exercised) or the estimated lives of the improvements, principally 18 years, whichever is less.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is stated at cost and is being amortized using the straight-line method over 10 years. In Fiscal 2000, goodwill was fully amortized.

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when temporary differences are expected to reverse.

RESTAURANT AND ROYALTY REVENUES

Revenues from the operation of the restaurants are recognized when sales occur. Royalty fees are based on the licensee restaurant's gross receipts and are recorded by the Company in the period related restaurant's revenues are earned. Fees received pursuant to this agreement during fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $66,000, $71,000 and $81,000, respectively.

ADVERTISING COSTS

The Company expenses advertising costs as such costs are incurred. The Company expensed $110,000, $68,000 and $86,000 for the years ended April 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in connection with advertising.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company presents two loss per share amounts, basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share includes only the weighted average shares outstanding and exclude the dilutive effect of options, warrants and convertible securities. For the years ended April 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998 basic and diluted loss per common share are the same due to the antidilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT - RELATED PARTY

On March 22, 2000, Sea View entered into a four-month, $250,000 line of credit agreement with Space Partners, an entity affiliated with one of the Company's principal stockholders and a member of its board of directors. This agreement provides for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of $2,500 and is guaranteed by the Company. Interest expense associated with the agreement totaled $1,666 for fiscal year 2000. At April 30, 2000 the balance outstanding was $100,000.

4. DEBT

On March 30, 1999, the Company completed a $1,800,000 private offering of subordinated convertible notes due March 25, 2003 (Subordinated Notes). The Subordinated Notes were sold to certain existing stockholders. The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 5% per annum and are immediately convertible into common stock of the Company at a rate of $1 per share. Interest is payable in cash or in kind. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 30, 2003; provided,

4. DEBT (CONTINUED)

however, that the holders of the Subordinated Notes may elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes on March 30, 2002. The table below reflects the full exercise of said election by the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes agreements limit indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company in excess of $4,000,000 until the Subordinated Notes are fully paid or converted.

In addition, in 1999, the Company entered into an agreement for tenant improvements and equipment financing with Lyon Credit Corporation for up to $1,089,000 in credit. The financing is to be repaid over a five year period with interest at the rate of yield to maturity of the five year treasury note plus 4% (9.94% at April 30, 2000). The financing is secured by certain tenant improvements and equipment. A total of $988,000 was outstanding under this financing as of April 30, 2000.

On July 7, 1999 the Company entered into a one year, $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with U. S. Bank. The agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1/2%, and is secured by certain assets of the Company, including its license agreement with MCA for use of the name Gladstone's. The Agreement is also guaranteed by Sea View. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement. The Company utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as collateral support for a letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank pursuant to the Concession Agreement. The letter of credit expires July 6, 2001.

On September 30, 1999, the Company and U.S. Bank amended the terms of the revolving line of credit agreement to provide for a $200,000 increase in the maximum amount of the line of the credit from $500,000 to $700,000. The additional $200,000 of available borrowing capacity will be available to the Company during the period November 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000, after which the line of credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit. At April 30, 2000 no borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit. Line of credit expires on July 6, 2001.

Maturities under existing financing agreements are as follows:

YEAR                                AMOUNT

As of April 30, 2000, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes net operating loss carryovers available to offset certain future taxable income of approximately $4,605,000 and state net operating loss carryovers of approximately $1,599,000 which expire at various dates from 2000 through 2020.

As a result of changes in control in prior years, net operating losses of approximately $3,740,000 that expire through 2010 are subject to certain restrictions, which limit their future use to approximately $277,000 per year. As a result of this limitation, approximately $693,000 of these net operating loss carryforwards may expire without any utilization.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK OPTIONS

The Omnibus Stock Plan, which received stockholder approval in April 1995, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other awards to participants as selected by the Stock Plan Committee of the board of directors, which administers the plan. Options granted pursuant to this plan have expiration dates, which do not exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: weighted-average risk-free interest rate of 6% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, dividend yields of 0% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, weighted-average volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .001; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of five years. There have been no posted bid prices for the Company's common stock since 1995. The amortization of the fair value of options granted was immaterial for 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

LEASES

The Company leases restaurant and office facilities under various noncancelable operating leases with remaining terms ranging from one to twenty years. The terms of certain of the leases require additional rental payments based on a percentage of the restaurants' sales in excess of a minimum amount. Total amounts charged to rent expense under the Company's operating leases for the three years ended April 30, 2000 are summarized below:

                                                   2000              1999             1998

                                            ====================================================

On November 1, 1997, Sea View and the County of Los Angeles (County) executed a new 20-year concession agreement. The previous agreement expired on October 31, 1997. The agreement, as amended February 9, 1999, includes minimum annual rent payments of $1,750,000, an increase of approximately $600,000 over rents paid in fiscal 1997. Percentage rents based on 10% of food sales and 12% of the sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise and parking lot revenues will be payable to the extent that percentage rents exceed the minimum annual rent. In addition, the agreement requires an annual supplemental rent payment of $15,000 plus 1% of Gladstone's annual gross revenue in excess of $14,000,000. The agreement further required the expenditure of at least $2,700,000 for renovations to the restaurant facility by August 9, 1999. During the first two years of the agreement, minimum annual rent is reduced by $218,750 per year. Minimum annual rent will be adjusted every three years to 75% of average total rent paid per year for the prior three years, but in no event less than the current minimum rent. Minimum and percentage rent will be adjusted to fair market rental value after 10 years to the extent fair market rental value exceeds minimum and percentage rents.

The terms of the Concession Agreement afford the County the opportunity to conduct a valuation of the Gladstone's Pacific Palisades operations ("Concession"), at any time during the first 150 months of the Concession Agreement (commencing November 1, 1997) in the event of a sale of Gladstone's or 100% of the stock of Sea View or the Registrant, or at any time between the beginning of the 79th month and the end of the 150th month of the Concession Agreement. If the County elects to conduct a valuation, Sea View must thereafter pay the greater of (1) the Supplemental Rent Payments, or (2) an amount determined by amortizing the greater of 5% of the gross Concession value or 20% of the net Concession value (as determined pursuant to the Concession Agreement), less the aggregate amount of Supplemental Rent Payments paid through the date of the valuation, using an interest rate of 9% and equal payments of principal and interest, over the remaining term of the Concession Agreement.

LEASES (CONTINUED)

The amended agreement also requires Sea View to post a letter of credit equal to three months minimum rent ($437,500) and maintenance of certain net worth levels, as defined. Initially, the Company posted the letter of credit by utilizing cash collateral provided by Overhead Partners, L.P. (Overhead), an entity affiliated with one of the Company's principal stockholders and with a member of its board of directors. In consideration for provided the cash collateral, the Company paid Overhead $80,000 in 1998 and $200,000 in 1999.

The agreement also provides, in certain circumstances, approval rights to the County in the event transactions constituting a Change in Ownership or Financing Event, as such terms are defined in the agreement, occur. These provisions may adversely affect the Company's ability to engage in such transactions.

The parking lot for the Company's Gladstone's 4 Fish restaurant is operated by a parking operator pursuant to a management agreement whereby the Company pays a monthly fee for the operation of the parking facility. The Company receives all revenues and pays all operating expenses under this arrangement. During fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company received $147,000, $185,000 and $146,000, respectively, pursuant to this arrangement, net of all expenses (except rent). These amounts have been recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold.

ARTICLE 2
LOANS

2.1 Revolving Line of Credit. Lender hereby agrees to make loans in an aggregate amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) on a revolving credit basis to Borrower ("Revolving Commitment"). The Lender's Revolving Commitment shall terminate on July 20, 2000, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Revolving Note shall be due and payable.

A loan made by Lender to Borrower shall be evidenced by a promissory note of Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A ("Revolving Note"), with appropriate insertions therein as to date and principal amount of any borrowing hereunder and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans made by Lender to Borrower hereunder, with interest thereon at ten percent (10%) per annum, payable on the first of each month. (Five days prior to the first of each month, Borrower shall provide Lender with a written calculation of interest payable on the first day of the next month.) Lender is hereby authorized (but not required) to record the date and amount of each borrowing, payment or prepayment of principal of its loan made to Borrower, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. Failure of Lender to make any such recordation or notation in the books and records of Lender (or any error in such recordation or notation) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder under the Revolving Note. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Amounts borrowed by Borrower may be repaid and, through July 20, 2000, reborrowed.

4

2.2 Notice of Borrowing. Borrower shall give Lender written notice five
(5) business days prior to the proposed borrowing date, requesting that the Lender make the revolving loan on the proposed borrowing date and specifying the aggregate amount of the revolving loan requested to be made. All borrowings hereunder shall made in a minimum aggregate amount of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).

2.3 Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest under the Revolving Note to Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at the fixed rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

2.4 Manner and Treatment of Payments. Each payment hereunder or on the Revolving Note shall be made to Lender, by wire transfer, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the day of payment. Lender shall provide Borrower with payment instructions, including bank accounts and wire transfer instructions. All payments received after 11:00
a.m., Los Angeles time, on any particular business day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding business day. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

2.5 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest at any post-default rate), or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Lender's right to require all payment of any interest (including interest after default).

2.6 Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay the Lender a commitment fee equal to $2,500, due on the date hereof.

ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

3.1 Existence and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws. Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of California. Borrower is duly qualified to transact business, and is in good standing, in California.

(c) Result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien with respect to any property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired by Borrower;

(d) Violate any Requirement of Law applicable to Borrower; or

(e) Result in a breach of or default under, or would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, constitute a breach of or default under, or cause or permit the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other contractual obligation to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property is bound or affected.

3.3 No Governmental Approvals Required. No authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Agency is required to authorize or permit under applicable laws the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Agreement and Revolving Note.

3.4 Binding Obligations. Each of the Agreement and Revolving Note will, when executed and delivered by Borrower, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.

ARTICLE 4
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

So long as any part of the Revolving Note remains unpaid, or any other Obligation remains unpaid or unperformed, Borrower shall, unless Lender otherwise consents:

4.1 Liens and Taxes. Keep the assets and property of the Borrower free and clear of all Liens, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and pay and perform when due all other obligations secured by or constituting a Lien affecting any of the Collateral, except that Borrower shall not be required to pay or perform any such taxes, Lien claims or other obligations (x) for which Borrower has been fully indemnified, or (y) which are being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, provided that Borrower has established and maintains adequate accounting reserves for the payment or performance of such taxes, lien claims or other obligations.

6

4.2 Preservation of Existence. Preserve and maintain its existence in the jurisdiction of its formation and all authorizations, rights, franchises, privileges, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits and registrations from any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of its businesses, and qualify and remain qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties except where the failure to preserve and maintain any such authorizations, rights, franchises, privileges, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits and registrations or to so qualify or remain qualified would not constitute a material adverse effect on the Borrower.

4.3 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain, preserve and protect all of its depreciable properties in good order and condition, subject to wear and tear in the ordinary course of business, and not permit any waste of its properties, except that the failure to maintain, preserve and protect a particular item of depreciable property that is not of significant value, either intrinsically or to the operations of Borrower, shall not constitute a violation of this covenant unless such failure occurs with respect to a sufficient number of items of depreciable property to jeopardize the existing condition of any bar or restaurant operation of Borrower.

4.4 Maintenance of Insurance. At all times maintain its existing policies of insurance.

4.5 Compliance With Laws. Comply with all requirements of applicable laws.

4.6 Books, Records and Inspection Rights.

4.7 Compliance With Agreements. Promptly and fully comply with all Contractual obligations under all material agreements, indentures, leases and/or instruments to which it is a party, whether such material agreements, indentures, leases or instruments are with Lender or another Person, except that Borrower need not comply with contractual obligations under any such agreements, indentures, leases or instruments then being contested by any of them in good faith by appropriate proceedings or if the failure to comply with such agreements, indentures, leases or instruments does not constitute a material adverse effect.

4.8 Financial Information. So long as any part of the Revolving Note remains unpaid, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of Borrower's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission within three (3) business days of such filings.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS

The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender provided herein or in the Revolving Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided bylaw or equity.

Borrower has the full power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is presently engaged or presently proposes to engage.

Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the properties to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the properties with this section of the Agreement. Any inspection or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower's expense and for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Borrower's due diligence in investigating the properties for hazardous waste and hazardous substances. Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the properties. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the properties, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loans.

For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current address(es).

SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OF BORROWER. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.

WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

i. The amount of each draft or other request for payment ("draft") drawn under the Credit. For amounts payable in United States currency, Applicant agrees to reimburse Bank in United States currency. For amounts payable in other currency, Applicant agrees to reimburse Bank an equivalent amount in United States currency at Bank's then current selling rate for telecommunications transfer of such other currency to the place the draft is payable, or at Bank's option, in any other currency, place, form and manner acceptable to Bank. If Bank so demands, Applicant promises to pay Bank in advance, in United States currency, all sums necessary to put Bank in funds to pay all such drafts whether payable in United States currency or otherwise.

ii. Bank's fees, at the per annum rate fixed by Bank, for the period from the date of issuance to the expiry date of the Credit. Such fees shall be payable from time to time, in advance, at such intervals as Bank may require and shall be nonrefundable, whether or not the Credit is drawn upon, reduced in time or amount or otherwise modified.

iii. The entire principal amount which has not been drawn under the Credit, to be held by Bank as collateral for any draws. Any such amount which is not applied to reimbursement of draws shall be refunded to Applicant within thirty (30) days after the expiry date of the Credit, with interest at U.S. Bank's lowest savings account rate then in effect.

iv. All taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature whatsoever paid or incurred by Bank in connection with this Agreement, the Credit or any related transactions, and any liability with respect thereto (including but not limited to interest, penalties and expenses).

v. Interest on all amounts due under this Agreement from the applicable due date until paid at a per annum rate equal to the sum of U.S. Bank's prime rate, as that rate may vary from time to time, plus 5%. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. U.S. Bank's prime rate is the rate which U.S. Bank from time to time established as its prime rate and is not, for example, the lowest rate of interest which U.S. Bank collects from any borrower or class of borrowers.

b. Without limiting Applicant's obligations to any Other Issuer, but without duplication, Applicant promises to pay to U.S. Bank on demand, at U.S. Bank's International Banking Office in Portland, Oregon, an
