ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         Volunteer Capital Corporation operated 55 franchised Wendy's Old
Fashioned Hamburgers restaurants at April 2, 1995. In addition, the Company
operated six proprietary J. Alexander's full-service, casual dining
restaurants.
         Income before income taxes increased by $199,000, or 36%, for the
first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period during the previous year.
Restaurant operating profit was essentially flat in the Wendy's division
($1,356,000 in the 1995 quarter as compared to $1,352,000 in 1994), while the
J. Alexander's division posted an increase in restaurant operating profit of
$356,000 ($593,000 in 1995 as compared to $237,000 in 1994). When coupled with
a $40,000 decrease in net interest expense (interest expense less interest
income), the combined effect of these items more than offset an increase in
general and administrative expenses of $206,000.

WENDY'S RESTAURANT OPERATIONS

         Results of the Wendy's restaurant operations before allocation of
other income, corporate overhead and net interest expense for the quarters
ended April 2, 1995, and April 3, 1994, were as follows:

         The Company operated 55 Wendy's restaurants at April 2, 1995 and 52
Wendy's restaurants at April 3, 1994. On April 7, 1995, the Company opened a
new Wendy's restaurant in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
         Total sales in the Wendy's division increased 4.1% in the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994. This increase is due
entirely to new units as sales in restaurants open for both the first quarter
of 1995 and the corresponding period of 1994 decreased by 2.1%. The Company
estimates that menu prices, after considering promotional discounts, decreased
by approximately 1.0% during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same
period in 1994. Management believes that local and national marketing and
promotional efforts which have generally been very effective, competitive menu
pricing, continued emphasis on guest service and improvement in efficiency of
operations, and a continuing program of enhancements of guest service areas in
a number of restaurants have contributed, over the last several years, to
increasing and maintaining per unit sales averages. However, continued
competition in the quick-service restaurant industry in general and, more
recently, intense retail price competition by other major hamburger chains in
particular have continued to adversely impact weighted average sales per unit
which declined in both the last half of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995. The
development of new Wendy's restaurants by other franchisees in certain of the
Company's market areas, and to a lesser degree the opening of new restaurants
by the Company near its existing restaurants, have also negatively affected the
Company's sales in certain locations.
         Cost of sales, which includes the cost of food and paper supplies,
decreased as a percentage of sales in the Wendy's division for the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994, principally reflecting
a decrease in raw food costs which more than offset the effect of decreased
menu prices during the quarter. The decrease in raw food costs is attributable
primarily to what the Company considers unusually low costs for ground beef.
         Restaurant labor and related costs increased as a percentage of net
sales for the first quarter of 1995, principally reflecting increased
management staffing incurred since the end of the first quarter of 1994, as
well as wage increases and the effect of decreased menu prices.
         Other operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales for the
first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year, as
reduced expenditures related to repairs and maintenance, utilities and property
insurance more than offset increased advertising costs and amortization of
pre-opening expenses associated with the three restaurants opened since the end
of the first quarter in 1994.

J. ALEXANDER'S RESTAURANT OPERATIONS

         The Company operated six J. Alexander's restaurants at April 2, 1995,
compared with three at April 3, 1994 and five at January 1, 1995. The sixth J.
Alexander's restaurant opened February 13, 1995 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Because the Ft. Lauderdale restaurant opened during the peak season in Florida,
sales in the opening seven weeks were strong and minimized the effect of
start-up losses as compared to the Company's other restaurants, which generally
experienced larger losses during their initial months of operation.
         J. Alexander's sales and operating income, before allocation of other
income, corporate overhead and net interest expense, for the quarters ended
April 2, 1995, and April 3, 1994, were as follows:

</TABLE>

         Net sales for the J. Alexander's division increased 95.1% in the first
quarter of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994. Sales for the three
restaurants open during the first quarter of both 1995 and 1994 averaged
$977,000 per unit during 1995, a 5.1% increase from $930,000 during 1994. Sales
for the two J. Alexander's prototype units open during the first quarter of
both 1995 and 1994 averaged $1,089,000 per unit, a 4.8% increase from 1994's
average.  Included in these increases is the impact of an estimated 3.8% menu
price increase implemented in January, 1995.  Management believes that these
increases reflect acceptance and recognition by consumers of the high level of
food quality and service which J. Alexander's provides to its guests.
         Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of sales for the first quarter
of 1995 as compared to the same period of the prior year, as the favorable
effect of increased menu prices more than offset higher costs associated with
the start-up of operations at the Ft. Lauderdale restaurant.
         Restaurant labor and related costs increased slightly as a percentage
of sales during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the first quarter of
1994, as hourly wage increases and higher costs associated with start-up
operations at the Ft. Lauderdale restaurant and the still relatively new Oak
Brook restaurant opened in the fourth quarter of 1994 more than offset the
favorable effect of increased menu prices.
         Other operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales during the
first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period of 1994, as reduced
training costs, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and property insurance, the
favorable effects of increased menu prices, and operating efficiencies achieved
at higher sales levels more than offset additional supervisory expenses
incurred as a result of new store openings.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
         General and administrative expenses, which include certain costs
related to both the Wendy's and J. Alexander's operations, totalled 5.8% of net
sales for the first quarter of 1995 as compared to 5.6% of net sales for the
1994 period. While general and administrative expenses are expected to continue
to increase in 1995, management expects that their growth rate for the year
will be less than that of the Company's revenues.





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10


INTEREST EXPENSE AND INTEREST INCOME
         Interest expense decreased during the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1994, principally due to an increase in
interest expense which was capitalized in connection with new restaurant
development in 1995. Interest income increased by $14,000 during the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994, due to the net effect
of increased interest rates and decreased investment balances.

INCOME TAXES
         Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company has significant deferred tax
assets relating primarily to approximately $13.5 million of net operating loss
carryforwards and $1.8 million of tax credit carryforwards available to reduce
future federal income taxes. Realization of the deferred tax assets is
dependent principally on future earnings from existing and new restaurants.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance reflecting the uncertainties associated with
future earnings has been established.
         Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate
realization of the net deferred tax assets. Because of various uncertainties
associated with the restaurant industry, there can be no assurance that there
could not be factors in the future which would result in a decline in taxable
income. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of its net
deferred tax assets quarterly and will make further adjustments to the
valuation allowance if deemed appropriate.
         As a result of utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards,
the Company did not provide for or pay federal or state income taxes that
approximate statutory rates during the first quarters of 1995 and 1994. The
Company's effective tax rate increased in the first quarter of 1995 as compared
to the same period of the prior year, due to exhausting its remaining net
operating loss carryforwards in certain states.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash provided by operating activities represents a primary source of
liquidity for the Company and is also expected to be a resource for meeting
future capital needs. The Company's cash flow from operations totaled
$1,434,000 during the first quarter of 1995, up $128,000 from the corresponding
period in 1994. In addition, the Company had cash and marketable securities of
$12,933,000 on hand at April 2, 1995. Working capital at April 2, 1995 totaled
$7,817,000 as compared to $16,183,000 at April 3, 1994, with the decrease
primarily reflecting the Company's capital expenditures during the last year.
         The Company's primary investing activity has historically been capital
expenditures for the development and maintenance of its restaurants. Capital
expenditures totaled $4,198,000 (including $407,000 of billings remaining in
accounts payable at April 2, 1995), during the first quarter of 1995. Capital
expenditures of $545,000 during the first quarter of 1995 for the Wendy's
division included completion of a new restaurant, facilities upgrades and
miscellaneous equipment replacements. Capital expenditures for J. Alexander's
restaurants were $3,604,000 and consisted primarily of completion of the
restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, acquisition of property and partial
completion of the restaurant in Hoover, Alabama, and acquisition of property
for the restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas.





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

         Management expects the primary needs for capital resources in the
future will be for the development of new J. Alexander's and Wendy's restaurants
and for the maintenance of existing restaurants. Management may also consider
acquisitions of additional Wendy's restaurants and restaurants similar to J.
Alexander's and use of the Company's capital resources to enhance shareholder
value in other ways.
         The Company's goal is to open four J. Alexander's restaurants in 1995.
The Company's sixth J. Alexander's restaurant opened February 13, 1995, in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida and its seventh restaurant is currently under construction
in Hoover, Alabama (a suburb of Birmingham) and is expected to open in the
third quarter of 1995. The Company has also acquired a site in 1995 in Overland
Park, Kansas (a suburb of Kansas City) for development of a J. Alexander's
restaurant. The initial cost of developing the J. Alexander's prototype
restaurants has ranged from approximately $2,300,000 to $3,800,000, excluding
pre-opening costs. While the cost of land has been the most significant
variable in development cost, costs related to site preparation and buildings
have also varied considerably in certain locations. Management estimates that
pre-opening costs will be approximately $250,000 for each restaurant.
Additionally, the Company will continue to seek opportunities to develop three
to five new Wendy's restaurants each year at an estimated cost of $850,000 to
$950,000 each. The initial capital investment required for opening a new J.
Alexander's or Wendy's restaurant would be significantly lower than indicated,
however, if property is leased rather than purchased. Finally, it is expected
that because of their age, up to $2,000,000 of capital expenditures will be
required annually to maintain and improve the Company's existing Wendy's
restaurants for 1995 and 1996.
         The Company does not have significant capital needs for purposes other
than restaurant development. Maturities of long-term debt through 1997 are
relatively small because the Company has previously purchased in the market a
sufficient amount of its convertible subordinated debentures to meet sinking
fund requirements on that issue through that date. Further, since requirements
for funding accounts receivable and inventories are relatively small, the
Company does not have significant working capital needs. For these reasons, the
Company expects that funds on hand combined with cash flow from operations will
be available primarily to fund its development and capital expenditure plans
and should be adequate to do so for most, and perhaps all, of 1995. The Company
expects to continue its restaurant development program beyond 1995 and believes
that outside sources of capital will be needed to fund a portion of this
expansion.  Management is presently evaluating alternatives which it believes
to be available for financing this development.

Note:  The computations of earnings per common and dilutive common equivalent
       share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
       outstanding each period after considering the effect of stock options
       using the treasury stock method. Shares issuable upon the conversion of
       convertible subordinated debentures have not been included as the effect
       of their inclusion would be antidilutive.
