INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Taco Cabana, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taco Cabana,
Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 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 of America. 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 also 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Taco Cabana, Inc. and subsidiaries
at January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2000
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Nature of Operations - Taco Cabana, Inc. (the "Company") operates a chain
      of Tex-Mex patio style quick service restaurants located primarily in the
      Southwestern United States. At January 2, 2000, the Company owned and
      operated a total of 109 units. There were also 10 Taco Cabana franchised
      units.

      Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
      include all accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
      significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

      Fiscal Year - The Company's accounting period is based upon a 52 or 53
      week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The fiscal
      years 1997, 1998 and 1999 were comprised of the 52 weeks ended December
      28, 1997, the 53 weeks ended January 3, 1999 and the 52 weeks ended
      January 2, 2000.

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
      those estimates.

      Liquor Sales - To conform to state liquor laws, liquor licenses are
      maintained and liquor sales are accounted for by a separate liquor
      corporation. The liquor corporation pays the Company a management fee
      based on liquor sales, reimburses the Company for its share of operating
      costs, and pays base and additional rent based on liquor sales. In order
      to more accurately reflect restaurant operations, all revenues and
      expenses relating to liquor sales have been included in the consolidated
      financial statements of the Company.

      Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in,
      first-out method or market, and consists primarily of food products,
      beverages and paper supplies.

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost.
      Equipment and buildings under capital leases are stated at the lower of
      the present value of minimum lease payments or fair market value of the
      asset at the inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization are
      provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
      the assets or the applicable lease term, if less.

      The estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and amortization
      are as follows:

                  Furniture, fixtures and equipment                   2-10 years
                  Buildings                                          20-30 years
                  Leasehold improvements                              5-30 years

      Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements
      which increase the value of the property and extend the useful life are
      capitalized.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
     (Continued)

      Intangible Assets - Goodwill, or the excess of acquisition costs over the
      fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is
      amortized using the straight-line method over 10 to 40 years. The trade
      name and the rights to the Taco Cabana name are amortized using the
      straight-line method over 40 years.

      Franchise Income - The Company has sold franchises that give the
      franchisees the right to operate Taco Cabana restaurants in specified
      areas. Generally, each franchisee acquires the right to open three or more
      restaurants. A development fee is recognized as income when the agreement
      is signed, while the franchise fee on each restaurant is deferred until
      the opening of the franchised restaurant. In addition, the franchise
      agreement requires a franchise royalty fee and an advertising fee on gross
      sales; such fees are recorded as income when earned. The Company has not
      recognized any franchise fees in the fiscal years 1997, 1998 or 1999.

      Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
      subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consisted principally
      of amounts due from franchisees and receivables from credit card sales.
      These risks are limited due to their geographic dispersion. The Company
      has no significant concentrations of credit risk.

      Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying statutory
      tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date to differences between the
      financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The
      resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect
      changes in tax laws or rates at the time such changes occur. Deferred tax
      assets are reported net of an allowance that management believes reduces
      net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not
      realizable.

      Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed by
      dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
      number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted
      earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
      securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
      converted into common stock. Outstanding stock options issued by the
      Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted
      average shares.

      Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the
      Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a remaining
      maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
      equivalents.

      Commitments and Contingencies - The Company does not subscribe to worker's
      compensation insurance in its Texas market. The Company accrues for claims
      based on historical actual payments made for such claims and expenses, as
      well as an evaluation of current and anticipated claims and expenses. The
      Company does maintain an excess liability coverage which management
      believes is adequate to cover any substantial claims.

      Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based
      compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
      Principles Board ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
      and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock
      options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
      the Company's common stock at the date of grant over the amount an
      employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the
      disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as included in
      Note 12.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997
      and 1998 consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation
      and classification used in fiscal 1998 and 1999.

</TABLE>

      Fiscal 1998 - As part of the special charges recorded in the fourth
      quarter of 1996 and 1997, the Company reduced the carrying value of assets
      and established reserves for the estimated lease liabilities associated
      with restaurants that were closed. During 1998, the company successfully
      completed sales of several of these properties to third parties or
      negotiated favorable lease terminations. The amount of the proceeds in
      excess of the carrying value of the assets and the remaining lease
      liabilities was approximately $2.7 million. This amount was recorded as a
      special charge reversal during the fourth quarter of 1998.

2.    SPECIAL CHARGE (REVERSAL) (Continued)

      Fiscal 1997 - During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, management made
      the decision to close the seven restaurants in its Colorado market. The
      Company committed substantial resources to this market during 1997 in an
      attempt to reverse trends of poor sales and losses. The desired results
      from the implementation of the plan were not achieved and the decision to
      close the market was made. These seven restaurants had total sales of
      approximately $3.0 million and operating losses of $2.1 million during the
      approximately eleven months of 1997 that they were in operation.

      Additionally, the Company continued to experience unfavorable sales trends
      during 1997, concluding the year with comparable restaurant sales
      declining 2.9%. However, during the first six months of 1997, comparable
      restaurant sales declined 4.8%. This trend compelled management to
      continue its evaluation of the operating model of the Company. During this
      evaluation, management concluded that certain volumes must be achieved in
      order to operate individual restaurants in accordance with Company
      standards. These standards include food quality, cleanliness, speed of
      service, and profitability. Management reviewed all existing restaurants
      to determine which restaurants could not reasonably be expected to achieve
      these volume levels, generally annual revenues of at least $1 million.
      This led to the decision to close an additional ten restaurants.

      Due to the significance of the closures described above, management
      performed an evaluation of the recoverability of all remaining assets as
      described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS
      121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
      Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Management concluded from the results
      of this evaluation that a significant impairment of intangible as well as
      long-lived assets was required to be recognized. The impairment was
      reflective of a market value determined to be less than the carrying value
      of approximately 40 restaurants, 31 of which were acquired. The assets
      were tested for impairment by projecting cash flows for individual
      restaurants based on recent results and trends specific to that
      restaurant. The undiscounted projected cash flows for each restaurant were
      compared to the carrying value for that restaurant, including allocated
      goodwill, where applicable. If the undiscounted cash flows were less than
      the carrying value, an impairment was deemed to have occurred. The amount
      of the impairment was determined by calculating the difference between the
      present value of the projected cash flows and the carrying value
      attributable to the specific restaurant. The cash flows were discounted
      using the rate of return the Company utilizes for approving new restaurant
      construction. Such discounted cash flows are, in management's opinion, the
      best estimate of the assets current value. Considerable management
      judgment is necessary to estimate future discounted cash flows.
      Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management's
      estimates.

      The process described above resulted in the Company's recording a special
      charge during the fourth quarter of 1997 of $78.7 million pre-tax, $75.7
      million after-tax, or $4.94 per share. This amount had the following
      components:

     o    Impairment of intangible assets of $33.1 million and impairment of
          long-lived assets of $22.1 million for restaurants that will continue
          in operation, based on the SFAS 121 analysis described above;

2.   SPECIAL CHARGE (REVERSAL) (Continued)

     o    A provision of $23.3 million for the closure of seventeen restaurants,
          including all of the restaurants in the Colorado market. The amount
          was determined in accordance with FAS 121 and was comprised of:

          o    $13.3 million for the carrying value of the assets, net of
               estimated proceeds of $1.5 million for the sale of restaurant
               properties;
          o    $9.0 million to record the estimated lease related obligations
               for closed restaurants. This amount was determined as the lesser
               of the present value of the monthly lease commitments, net of
               expected sublease receipts, or lease termination provisions;
          o    $500,000 for severance and relocation benefits paid to employees
               displaced by the restaurant closures;
          o    $500,000 for the probable settlement of a franchisee lawsuit
               related to the Colorado market.
     o    The write-off of other assets totaling $200,000.

          During 1997, the seventeen restaurants contributed a total of $9.6
          million in sales, and had operating losses totaling $2.5 million. In
          addition, the total amount of depreciation recorded during 1997
          relating to assets which were impaired was approximately $2.5 million.

         Notes receivable - noncurrent:
           Franchisees                                     $     258,000      $     278,000

</TABLE>

        Notes receivable from franchisees approximate fair value because the
        underlying instruments have an interest rate that approximates current
        market rates. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is reflected
        as a reduction of receivables in the consolidated balance sheets.

7.    LEASES

      Operating Leases - The Company leases restaurant facilities under

      The total rental expense for operating leases was approximately $6.6
      million for 1997, $6.2 million for 1998 and $6.7 million for 1999,
      including additional rents of approximately $291,000, $185,000 and
      $215,000 for 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

      The Company remains contingently liable on eight operating leases which
      were assigned to the purchasers of units previously sold or closed. Future
      minimum lease commitments under these contingent obligations approximate
      $669,000 in 2000, and a total of $2.4 million in 2001 through 2004.
      Thereafter, the total minimum lease payments are approximately $ 2.0
      million. The Company assesses the probability of its having to assume
      primary liability under these assignments on an annual basis.

      Furthermore, certain leases have been guaranteed by a former employee of
      the Company.

9.    LINE OF CREDIT

      During 1999 the Company had in place two secured credit facilities
      totaling $40 million, including a $5 million revolving line of credit. On
      December 20, 1999 the credit facilities were amended and increased to a
      total of $50 million. As part of the amendment, the commitments were
      extended to December 31, 2001. Interest on funds borrowed under the
      facilities are charged at the prime rate or, at the Company's choice,
      2.25% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), adjusted quarterly.
      The credit facilities are secured by property and equipment. The
      facilities contain certain covenants, including cash flow to fixed charges
      ratio, minimum net worth, debt to tangible net worth ratio, and intangible
      assets to net worth ratio requirements. During the year ended January 2,
      2000, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. At January 2,
      2000, the Company had approximately $9.0 million available for cash
      borrowings under these credit facilities.

10.   ACQUISITION AND CLOSED RESTAURANT LIABILITIES

      The Company establishes acquisition liabilities, as necessary, in
      connection with the purchase method of accounting for restaurants and
      other assets it acquires. Such liabilities are primarily related to leases
      that were at terms less favorable than market rates prevailing at the
      acquisition date and anticipated restaurant closure costs, if any.

      The liability established for leases in excess of the prevailing market
      were based on current market rental rates at the date of acquisition as
      compared to the terms of the leases acquired. This liability is being
      amortized as a reduction of occupancy expense over the remaining term of
      the applicable leases. The total amount of this reserve was $1.2 million
      and $1.0 million, at January 3, 1999 and January 2, 2000, respectively.
      During 1998 and 1999, approximately $181,000 and $170,000, respectively,
      of the balance was amortized in this manner.

      Acquisition liabilities include reserves established for the closure of
      certain acquired restaurants. These restaurants were anticipated to be
      closed at the time of acquisition. The amounts reserved were equal to the
      value assigned to the building and equipment acquired, less any
      anticipated salvage value, plus an amount estimated to terminate the lease
      prior to its expiration date. The total amount of this reserve was
      $261,000 and $175,000 at January 3, 1999 and January 2, 2000,
      respectively. During 1998 and 1999, approximately $1.0 million and
      $86,000, respectively, of this reserve was utilized in the closure of
      restaurants. As part of the special charge reversal recorded in 1998, the
      Company reversed $200,000 of this reserve.

10.   ACQUISITION AND CLOSED RESTAURANT LIABILITIES (continued)

      In 1997, as part of the special charge, the Company reserved amounts for
      closed restaurant liabilities. The amounts reserved were equal to the
      lesser of the present value of the monthly lease commitments, net of
      expected sublease receipts, or lease termination provisions. These
      reserves were approximately $6.2 million and $5.5 million at January 3,
      1999 and January 2, 2000, respectively. It is currently anticipated that
      payments of approximately $800,000 will be made under lease and other
      obligations during 2000. During 1998 and 1999, approximately $2.7 million
      and $754,000, respectively, of this reserve was utilized in the closure of
      restaurants. During 1998 and 1999, the Company received proceeds of
      approximately $4.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the sales
      of closed restaurant properties. As part of the special charge reversal
      recorded in 1998, the Company re-evaluated lease obligations for closed
      restaurants and reversed approximately $2.5 million of the lease liability
      reserves for such restaurants.

12.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS

      Stock Options - The Company has stock option plans (the "Plans") for
      employees, outside directors, and advisors of the Company covering
      2,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options under such plans
      generally become exercisable ratably over a two to five year period. All
      options expire at the earlier of termination of employment or ten years
      after the date of grant. The Plans terminate in 2000 and in 2004. The
      Plans are administered by a committee of outside members of the Board of
      Directors. In addition, certain directors were awarded non-qualified stock
      options pursuant to the terms of separate compensation agreements. At
      January 2, 2000, there were no shares available for issuance. Options
      outstanding are as follows:

</TABLE>

      The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to determine the above
      pro-forma information. The calculations relied upon estimates of the
      volatility of the Company's stock and expected dividends, as well as
      determinations of a risk-free interest rate and expected life of the
      options. A volatility rate of 49.0% was used for options granted prior to
      1994, 37.5% was used for options granted during 1994, 36.0% was used for
      options granted during 1995 through 1996, 34.0% was used for options
      granted during 1997, 33.0% was used for options granted during 1998, and
      26% was used for options granted during 1999. Dividends were estimated at
      zero. The discount rate charged on loans to depository institutions by the
      Federal Reserve Bank was used as the risk-free interest rate. The discount
      rate was approximately 5.0% for all of 1999. The Company's options have a
      ten year life and vesting periods ranging from two to five years.

12.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)

      Preferred Stock Purchase Rights - In June 1995, the Company's Board of
      Directors declared a distribution of one preferred stock purchase right
      for each share of the Company's common stock. The rights were distributed
      on June 20, 1995 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on
      that day. Each right will entitle the holder to buy 1/1000 of a share of a
      newly authorized Series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $37.50
      per right. The rights become exercisable on the tenth day after public
      announcement that a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the
      Company's common stock. The rights may be redeemed by the Company prior to
      becoming exercisable by action of the Board of Directors at a redemption
      price of $0.01 per right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other
      business combination transaction in which it is not the surviving
      corporation, each right will entitle its holder to purchase stock of the
      acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price. In
      the event that the Company is the surviving corporation, each right will
      entitle its holder to purchase the Company's common stock having a market
      value of twice the exercise price of each right. At January 2, 2000, there
      were 12,080,975 rights outstanding.

      Preferred Stock - In June 1995, in connection with its implementation of
      the stockholders' rights plan discussed above, the Company authorized
      100,000 shares of Series A, preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per
      share, which would become issuable only at such time, if ever, as the
      rights become exercisable. As of January 2, 2000 there were no shares
      outstanding.

      Treasury Stock - The Company's Board of Directors previously authorized
      the purchase in the open market of up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company's
      outstanding common stock. Through the first quarter of 1999, the Company
      had repurchased 2,585,000 shares with an aggregate cost of $13.9 million.
      During the first quarter, the Company retired all shares held as treasury
      shares. The cost of retired shares in excess of par value has been charged
      to additional paid in capital. Subsequent to the first quarter, the
      Company repurchased an additional 1,354,600 shares at an aggregate cost of
      $11.4 million, which as of January 2, 2000 were held as treasury stock.
      Subsequent to January 2, 2000, the Company purchased an additional 510,400
      shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $6.93.

13.   INCOME TAXES (Continued)

      At January 2, 2000, the Company had net operating loss, alternative
      minimum tax and general business tax credit carry-overs of approximately
      $13.7 million, $997,000 and $655,000, respectively. A portion of the above
      carry-overs resulted from a prior acquisition; the Company was allowed to
      utilize the net operating loss of $5.4 million and tax credit carry-overs
      of $178,000 that existed at the date of acquisition. However, because of
      the change in ownership, the net operating loss carry-over utilization is
      further limited to approximately $953,000 per year, and the tax credit
      carry-over acquired from a prior acquisition is limited each year to the
      tax equivalent of any remaining portion of the net operating loss
      limitation. The net operating loss and tax credit carry-overs begin to
      expire in 2003 and 2000, respectively.

      The alternative minimum tax credit carry-over and the remaining general
      business credit carry-overs are available to offset future regular tax
      liabilities. The general business credit begins to expire in 2007. The
      alternative minimum tax credit has no expiration date.

14.   LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is a party to routine negligence or employment-related
      litigation in the ordinary course of its business. No such pending
      matters, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material to
      the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
