                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT
- - -------------------------------
  In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial statements
  contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature)
  necessary to present fairly the financial position of Wendy's International,
  Inc. and Subsidiaries (the company) at April 3, 1994, and the results of
  operations and cash flows for the quarters ended April 3, 1994 and April 4,
  1993.  The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements which are contained
  in the 1993 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these Consolidated
  Financial Statements.

NOTE 2.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
- - --------------------------------------
  In both the first quarter of 1994 and 1993, one restaurant was disposed of
  for a net pretax gain of $25,000 and $400,000, respectively.

  During the first quarter of 1993, the company acquired 27 restaurants in the
  Ft. Lauderdale, Florida market and three restaurants in the Milwaukee,
  Wisconsin market for approximately $8,500,000.

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

The company recorded net income of $12.5 million for the first quarter ended
April 3, 1994, while $9.8 million was reported for the first quarter ended April
4, 1993.

RETAIL SALES
- - ------------
Domestic retail sales increased 1.8% for the first quarter of 1994 compared to
the first quarter of 1993.  This was primarily a result of a 1.9% increase in
average domestic net sales.  Selling prices remained constant for the first
quarter of 1994, and domestic coupon sales were .7% of retail sales in 1994 and
.8% in 1993.  The first quarter 1994 sales results were somewhat hampered by
much of the country's severe winter weather conditions.

The company believes its value strategy, such as Combo Meals, Kids' Meals, and
Super Value Menu, along with solid restaurant operations and effective marketing
campaigns, have contributed to sales increases.

Average net sales per domestic Wendy's restaurant for the quarters ended April
3, 1994 and April 4, 1993 were as follows:

                           =====          ===== 
</TABLE>

COST OF SALES AND RESTAURANT OPERATING COSTS
- - --------------------------------------------
The company restaurant operating profit margin increased in the first quarter
1994 to 13.0% versus 12.5% for 1993.  The increase reflected an improvement in
domestic company restaurant operating costs.  As a percent of domestic retail
sales restaurant operating costs decreased to 27.9% from 28.4% for the first
quarter 1994.  This reflects lower insurance and advertising costs.

ROYALTIES
- - ---------
Royalties before reserve provisions increased $2.3 million in the first quarter
1994 compared to 1993.  This was primarily a result of increases in franchise
domestic average net sales of 1.2% over the first quarter of 1993 and an
increase of 190 average domestic restaurants open.  Reserves provided were $1.9
million for the first quarter of 1994 and $1.2 million for the first quarter of
1993.  This increase reflects a provision of $.7 million for potential
international issues.

OTHER REVENUES
- - --------------
Other revenues increased $2.2 million over the first quarter of 1993.  This was
primarily a result of $2.0 million in losses related to surplus property held
for disposition and casualty losses that were recognized in 1993 while no
similar items were recorded in 1994.

                                     -8-
<PAGE>
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- - -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1994 increased $2.0
million over 1993.  This primarily reflects increases in salaries and benefits
of $2.0 million.  This was a result of annual employee merit and performance pay
increases and minimal increases in staffing of overhead personnel throughout
1993 to support new restaurant development planned for 1994 and beyond.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              -------------------

The company's financial condition remains solid at the end of the first quarter
of 1994.  The debt to equity and debt to total capitalization ratios were 24%
and 20%, respectively, at April 3, 1994.  These compare to a debt to equity
ratio and debt to total capitalization ratio of 33% and 25%, respectively, at
fiscal year-end 1993.  The decline in these ratios reflects the transfer of
long-term debt to current liabilities as $50 million of 12 1/8% Notes is payable
April 1, 1995.  Capital expenditures amounted to $27.4 million for 1994 compared
to $26.1 million for 1993.

                                    OUTLOOK
                                    -------

The company continues to employ its strategies as outlined in the company's 1993
Annual Report.  Emphasis continues to be on solid restaurant operations, new
products, effective marketing, new restaurant development, and the financial
health of the entire system.  The company anticipates that as many as 350 new
restaurants will be opened or under construction systemwide (both company and
franchise) during 1994.  During the first quarter of 1994, the company opened 53
new restaurants with another 63 under construction.  Cash flow from operations,
cash and investments on hand, and possible asset sales should adequately provide
for projected cash requirements for 1994.

                         PART II: OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On April 12, 1994, Richard Johnson and 12 other individuals, individually and
purportedly on behalf of a putative class of other persons similarly situated,
filed a complaint against the company and others in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Georgia.  The Complaint alleges that the company has
engaged in racial discrimination in violation of Title VII and 42 U.S.C. Section
1981.  The plaintiffs further allege that the company conspired with certain of
its franchisees to deprive the plaintiffs and employees of such franchisees of
their rights under 42 U.S.C. Section 1985.  The plaintiffs seek judgment in an
undetermined amount against the company for punitive and compensatory damages
(including benefits) as well as injunctive and equitable relief, including
reinstatement of the plaintiffs to their former positions.  The company intends
to defend the action vigorously, and believes that it has meritorious defenses
to the claims sought to be asserted and that the resolution of the action will
not materially effect the company's financial condition.

On April 29, 1994, Mercy Health Services filed a complaint against the Company
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The
plaintiff, who purports to be a shareholder of the company, alleges that the
company wrongfully refused to include a shareholder resolution in the company's
notice of proxy and proxy statement for the May 2, 1994 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.  The shareholder resolution requested the Board of Directors to
adopt a policy making all company restaurants smoke-free by 1995, and requested
that the

                                     -9-
<PAGE>
 
policy include stipulations that, beginning in 1995, all new franchisees'
facilities be smoke-free and all renewals of franchise agreements include smoke-
free facilities in the agreements.  The plaintiff seeks a declaration that the
company's failure to include the shareholder resolution in the proxy statement
was unlawful, an injunction which would enjoin the company from excluding the
plaintiff's shareholder resolution from any future proxy statements when the
resolution otherwise qualifies for inclusion under the applicable rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and an award for costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees.  The company intends to defend the action vigorously, and
believes that it has meritorious defenses to this action and that an unfavorable
judgment would not have a material impact upon the financial condition of the
company.
