         This Form 8-K/A of Triarc Companies,  Inc. ("Triarc" and, together with
its subsidiaries, the "Company") constitutes Amendment No. 1 to Triarc's Current
Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Form 8-K") which was filed with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") on December 10, 1997.  This amendment sets
forth the information  required by Items 7(a) and 7(b) omitted from the Original
Form 8-K and includes Item 2, as amended, from the Original Form 8-K.

         The  statements  in this  Current  Report  on Form  8-K/A  that are not
historical facts,  including,  most importantly,  those statements  preceded by,
followed  by,  or  that  include  the  words   "may,"   "believes,"   "expects,"
"anticipates,"  or the  negation  thereof,  or similar  expressions,  constitute
"forward-looking statements" that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause actual  results,  performance or  achievements  to be materially
different  from  any  outcomes  expressed  or  implied  by such  forward-looking
statements.  For those  statements,  Triarc  claims the  protection  of the safe
harbor  for  forward-looking  statements  contained  in the  Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the
following:  success of operating  initiatives;  development and operating costs;
advertising and promotional efforts;  brand awareness;  the existence or absence
of adverse  publicity;  market  acceptance  of new product  offerings;  changing
trends in consumer tastes;  changes in business  strategy or development  plans;
quality of management;  availability,  terms and deployment of capital; business
abilities and judgment of personnel;  availability of qualified personnel; labor
and employee benefit costs; availability and cost of raw materials and supplies;
changes in, or failure to comply  with,  government  regulations;  the costs and
other  effects  of  legal  and  administrative  proceedings;  pricing  pressures
resulting from competitive discounting; general economic, business and political
conditions in the countries and territories  where the Company  operates and the
impact  of  such   conditions  on  consumer   spending;   and  other  risks  and
uncertainties  detailed in Triarc's other current and periodic  filings with the
SEC.  Triarc will not  undertake  and  specifically  declines any  obligation to
publicly  release  the  result  of  any  revisions  which  may  be  made  to any
forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such  statements or to reflect the occurrence of  anticipated  or  unanticipated
events.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On  November  25, 1997 Triarc  acquired  (the "Cable Car  Acquisition")
Cable Car Beverage  Corporation ("Cable Car"), a marketer of premium soft drinks
and waters in the United  States and Canada,  primarily  under the Stewart's (R)
brand.  Pursuant  to the  Cable  Car  Acquisition,  each  share of Cable Car was
converted  into 0.1722  shares of  Triarc's  Class A Common  Stock (the  "Common
Stock"),  representing an aggregate  1,566,731  shares of Common Stock issued by
Triarc.

                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS






To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Cable
Car Beverage Corporation

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related
consolidated  statements  of  operations,  of  cash  flows  and  of  changes  in
stockholders'  equity present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial
position of Cable Car Beverage Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Cable Car") at
December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31,  1996,  in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of Cable Car management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We
conducted our audits of these  statements in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing  standards  which  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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                 CABLE CAR BEVERAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

     Cable Car  Beverage  Corporation  ("Cable  Car"),  formerly  Great  Eastern
International,  Inc.,  was  incorporated  under the laws of Delaware on April 1,
1968.  Since 1987,  Cable Car's  primary  business  has been the  marketing  and
distribution  of  beverages  and it has been  engaged  in the food and  beverage
business since 1986.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

     Cable Car's consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries Old San Francisco Seltzer,  Inc. ("SFS") and Fountain
Classics,  Inc. ("FCI"). All significant  intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

     Revenue from beverage  finished product and concentrate  sales are recorded
at the time of receipt and acceptance by the customer.

Concentration of Credit Risk

     Cable Car's customers consist primarily of beverage distributors. Financial
instruments which potentially subject Cable Car to concentrations of credit risk
are primarily accounts receivable,  short-term investments and cash equivalents.
Cable Car  performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations  of its  customers'  financial
condition and generally  requires no collateral from its customers.  Cable Car's
sales to major customers are discussed in Note 9.
Inventories

     Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment

     Property  and  equipment,  primarily  consisting  of  furniture  and office
equipment,  is stated at cost and is generally  depreciated  on a  straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the respective  depreciable  assets of
three to five  years.  Maintenance  and repairs  are  expensed  as incurred  and
improvements are capitalized.

Goodwill

     Goodwill is  recorded  for the excess of the  purchase  price over the fair
value of net tangible assets acquired.  Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis  over a  25-year  period.  The  recoverability  of  goodwill  is  assessed
quarterly,  based on undiscounted projected cash flows. Impairment is recognized
when a permanent diminution in value occurs.

Net Income Per Common Share

     Net income per common  share is computed  under the  treasury  stock method
using the weighted  average  number of common  shares and dilutive  common stock
equivalent shares outstanding during the year.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Cash Equivalents

     Generally,   only  highly  liquid   investments   purchased  with  original
maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash  equivalents.  Cash
equivalents  included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and 1995
are  certificates  of  deposit  which  aggregated   approximately  $135,429  and
$318,694,  respectively. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates
fair value.  Cable Car has a cash investment  policy which  generally  restricts
investments to ensure preservation of principal and maintenance of liquidity.

Short-term Investments

     Short-term  investments  are stated at an amortized cost of $195,042 which,
at December 31, 1996, approximates market value.

Significant Estimates

     Certain  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported  amounts of
assets and  liabilities,  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and expenses are
made by management in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

(2) MERGER OF SHEYA BROTHERS SPECIALTY BEVERAGES, INC. AND INVESTMENT IN AMCON 
    STOCK

     On June 7,  1993,  Cable Car  merged  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Sheya
Brothers Specialty  Beverages,  Inc. ("SBSB"),  into AMCON Distributing  Company
("AMCON"), a then privately held, Omaha-based wholesale distributor. In exchange
for the net  assets  of  SBSB,  Cable  Car  received  12.5%  of the  issued  and
outstanding common stock of AMCON. As part of the transaction,  Cable Car agreed
to distribute a minimum of  two-thirds of the AMCON shares to its  shareholders,
representing approximately an 8% ownership interest in AMCON.

     During the third quarter of 1995,  Cable Car  wrote-down  its investment in
the market  price of AMCON common stock as reported by NASDAQ on August 4, 1995,
the date upon which the stock was initially  included on NASDAQ,  which resulted
in a charge of  $848,342.  Cable Car then  distributed  266,469  shares of AMCON
common stock as a dividend to Cable Car's  shareholders  of record as of July 5,
1995.  This  distribution  of 266,469 shares of AMCON  represented  87% of Cable
Car's  holdings in AMCON.  At December  31,  1996,  Cable Car  continued to hold
39,674 shares of AMCON common stock.

(3) INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following:

                                                   DECEMBER 31,

borrowings were outstanding  under the line as of December 31, 1996.  Borrowings

                                                          DECEMBER 31,

     The  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  are  subject  to  certain  annual
utilization  limits.  Previously,  Cable Car had recorded a valuation  allowance
equal to the deferred  income tax assets due to management's  uncertainty  about
the likelihood  that Cable Car would fully utilize these benefits.  However,  it
was determined by Cable Car during 1995 that,  based upon Cable Car's recent and
expected future operating  results,  it was then more likely than not that Cable
Car would realize its future income tax benefits.  Based on this  determination,
Cable Car released the valuation allowance and provided an income tax benefit of
$936,440 during 1995. As of December 31, 1996,  Cable Car has net operating loss
carryforwards of  approximately  $1,634,000 which expire from 2000 through 2005.
Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue  Code,  Cable Car is limited in
the amount of net operating  loss  carryforwards  it may use each year to offset
taxable  income.  Cable  Car's  consolidated  Section 382 annual  limitation  is
approximately $343,000.

     Cable Car applies APB 25 in accounting  for its stock  compensation  plans,
and no compensation  expense has been recognized in the financial statements for
options granted to employees and directors.  Had compensation  expense for Cable
Car's stock  option plan been  determined  based on the fair values at the grant
dates  for  awards  under the plan  consistent  with the  method  of  accounting
prescribed by FASB  Statement  123,  Cable Car's net income and income per share
would have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years
ended December 31:

                                                1996               1995

       Pro forma............................        0.13              0.09

     In accordance with the guidance  provided under SFAS 123, the fair value of
each option grant is estimated  using the Black-  Scholes  option-pricing  model
with  the  following  weighted-average  assumptions:  dividend  yield  of  zero;
expected  volatility of 47% in 1996 and 36% in 1995;  risk-free interest rate of
5.83%  in 1996 and  5.59%  in 1995;  and an  expected  term of five  years.  The
risk-free  interest rate used in the  calculation is the yield on the grant date
of the U.S.  Treasury  Strip with a maturity  equal to the expected  term of the
option.

(8) COMMITMENTS

     Cable Car has commitments to lease office space through September 30, 1997.
Rental expense of $41,339, $39,139 and $37,901 has been recognized for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  At December 31, 1996, the
minimum annual rental  commitments  under  noncancellable  operating leases were
approximately $28,350 through September 1997.

     Cable Car has outstanding  commitments to purchase raw materials (primarily
glass) which aggregate approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 1996.

     Cable Car has a licensing agreement with Stewart's Restaurants,  Inc. which
provides for a sliding-scale royalty with a minimum annual royalty of $50,000.

Car's net  sales for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  Two  customers  each

                 CABLE CAR BEVERAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  interim  financial  statements  of  Cable  Car  Beverage
Corporation  ("Cable Car") at September  30, 1997,  and for the  nine-month  and
three-month  periods  ended  September  30,  1997  and  September  30,  1996 are
unaudited.  In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments  (consisting of only
normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to present  fairly the  consolidated
financial  position,  results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for all  periods
presented have been made.

     Cable Car's consolidated  interim financial statements include the accounts
of its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Old San Francisco Seltzer, Inc. and Fountain
Classics, Inc.

     Certain  information and  substantially all footnote  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles  have been omitted.  It is suggested that these financial
statements  be  read  in   conjunction   with  the  fiscal  year  end  Company's
consolidated financial statements, filed in Form 10-K for December 31, 1996. The
results  of  operations  for  the  period  ended  September  30,  1997  are  not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     Certain reclassifications have been reflected in the prior period financial
statements to conform to the current year presentations.

(2) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per common  share was computed  under the treasury  stock method
using the weighted  average  number of common  shares and dilutive  common stock
equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the period.  In February  1997, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is effective for periods ending
after December 15, 1997 and requires  changes in the  computation,  presentation
and  disclosure of earnings per share.  Earnings per share for all prior periods
must be restated to conform  with  computation  provisions  of SFAS No. 128. The
adoption of SFAS No. 128 for the year ended  December 31, 1997 will not have any
impact on Cable Car's reported financial results.

(3) INVENTORIES

     Inventories consisted of:

                                         SEPTEMBER 30,         DECEMBER 31,

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

(4) MERGER WITH TRIARC COMPANIES, INC.

     On June 24, 1997 Cable Car entered into a definitive  merger agreement (the
"Merger  Agreement") with Triarc Companies,  Inc.  ("Triarc")  whereby Cable Car
will become a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Triarc.  The  acquisition is currently
expected  to close by the end of  November  1997 and is subject to  approval  of
Cable Car's  shareholders who are scheduled to vote on a proposal to approve the
Merger Agreement on November 25, 1997.

(b)   Pro Forma Financial Information

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following unaudited pro forma (i) condensed  consolidated balance sheet
of the  Company  as of  September  28,  1997  and  (ii)  condensed  consolidated
statements of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
for the nine months  ended  September  28, 1997 have been  prepared by adjusting
such financial statements, as derived and condensed, as applicable, from (i) the
consolidated financial statements in Triarc's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1996 (the  "Triarc  Form  10-K"),  audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP and (ii) the unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  in  Triarc's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarter
ended  September  28, 1997 (the  "Triarc Form 10-Q").  Such  adjustments  to the
condensed  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 28, 1997  reflects,  in a
first step,  the December 23, 1997 sale (the "C.H.  Patrick  Sale") by Triarc of
all of the outstanding stock of C.H. Patrick & Co., Inc. ("C.H.  Patrick"),  its
dyes and  specialty  chemicals  subsidiary,  to The B.F.  Goodrich  Company,  as
reported in Triarc's Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on January 7, 1998, and,
in a second step, the Cable Car  Acquisition.  Such adjustments to the condensed
consolidated  statements of operations  for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
the nine months  ended  September  28, 1997  reflect,  in a first step,  certain
previously reported  transactions (the "1997 Transactions" and collectively with
the Cable Car Acquisition,  the "Transactions")  consisting of (a) the Company's
sale of its 355 company-owned Arby's restaurants (the "Arby's Restaurants Sale")
to an affiliate of RTM, Inc.  ("RTM") on May 5, 1997, as previously  reported in
Triarc's Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 4, 1997, (b) the Company's
sale of its rights to the C&C beverage  line,  including the C&C trademark  (the
"C&C Sale"), as previously reported in Triarc's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on August 4, 1997,  (c) the  Company's  acquisition  of Snapple  Beverage  Corp.
("Snapple")  from  The  Quaker  Oats  Company  ("Quaker")  on May 22,  1997,  as
previously  reported in Triarc's  Current Report on Form 8-K/A on August 5, 1997
and (d) the C.H. Patrick Sale and, in a second step, the Cable Car Acquisition.

      The combined  statements  of certain  revenues and  operating  expenses of
Snapple for the year ended  December 31, 1996 and for the period from January 1,
1997 to the May 22, 1997  acquisition  date  included in the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived and condensed,  as
applicable,  from (i) the  combined  financial  statements  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1996 (the "Snapple 1996  Financial  Statements")  audited by Arthur
Andersen  LLP and (ii)  the  combination  of (a)  unaudited  combined  financial
statements  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997  (collectively  with the
Snapple 1996 Financial Statements,  the "Snapple Financial  Statements") and (b)
the Snapple  unaudited  combined  statement of certain  revenues  and  operating
expenses for the period from April 1, 1997 to May 22, 1997 (the "Snapple May 22,
1997 Financial  Statements").  The Snapple Financial  Statements are included in
Triarc's  Current  Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 5, 1997. The Snapple May
22, 1997 Financial Statements were provided to the Company by Quaker.

      The  consolidated  balance sheet of Cable Car as of September 30, 1997 and
consolidated  statements of operations of Cable Car for the year ended  December
31,  1996 and for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  included in the
unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
derived, condensed and reclassified,  as applicable,  from: (i) the consolidated
financial  statements  for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the "Cable Car 1996
Financial  Statements")  audited by Price Waterhouse L.L.P. and set forth herein
and (ii) the unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997  (collectively  with the  Cable  Car 1996  Financial
Statements, the "Cable Car Financial Statements") as set forth herein.

     The  allocation  of the  purchase  price  of  Snapple  and  the  pro  forma
adjustments  for the  allocation  of the purchase  price of Cable Car on the pro
forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet and the effect thereof on pro forma
adjustments to the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are
based on preliminary  estimates and are subject to  finalization.  The pro forma
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared as if the C.H.
Patrick Sale and the Cable Car Acquisition had occurred as of September 28, 1997
for the pro forma condensed  consolidated balance sheet and the Transactions had
occurred  as of  January  1,  1996  for the  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated
statements  of  operations.  Such pro forma  adjustments  are  described  in the
accompanying  notes to the pro forma  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet and
statements  of  operations  which  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  such
statements.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
also should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company's  audited  consolidated
financial  statements  and  management's  discussion  and  analysis of financial
condition and results of operations  appearing in the Triarc Form 10-K, (ii) the
Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and management's
discussion  and  analysis  of  financial  condition  and  results of  operations
appearing in the Triarc Form 10-Q,  (iii) the Snapple  Financial  Statements and
(iv) the Cable Car  Financial  Statements.  The  unaudited  pro forma  condensed
consolidated  financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the actual
financial   position  or  results  of   operations   of  the  Company  had  such
transactions, as applicable, actually been consummated on September 28, 1997 and
January 1, 1996, respectively, or of the future financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET


C.H. PATRICK SALE ADJUSTMENTS

    (a)   To  reflect  the C.H.  Patrick  Sale for  estimated  net  proceeds  of
          $68,115,000  ($72,000,000  sale  price less the  payment of  estimated
          expenses  related to the  transaction)  and the resulting pretax gain,
          based on September 28, 1997 balances, of $33,600,000.

    (b)   To  reflect  a  provision  for  income  taxes of  $14,000,000  at C.H.
          Patrick's  incremental  Federal and state income tax rate of 38.25% on
          the $33,600,000 pretax gain resulting from the C.H. Patrick Sale noted
          in (a) above (of which $2,990,000 represents the write-off of Goodwill
          which has no tax  benefit).  The offset to such  provision for Federal
          income taxes of  $12,170,000  is reflected as a reduction to "Deferred
          income  tax  benefit"  since the  Company is in a net  operating  loss
          carryforward  position  and will not be  required  to pay any  Federal
          income taxes  currently on such pretax gain while the state income tax
          portion of  $1,830,000  is an addition to "Accrued  expenses and other
          current liabilities."

    (c)   To reflect (i) the  repayment of certain  borrowings  of C.H.  Patrick
          ($32,063,000  as  of  September  28,  1997  consisting  of  $2,813,000
          classified as current and  $29,250,000  classified as noncurrent)  and
          accrued interest thereon of $725,000 and (ii) an extraordinary  charge
          of $866,000 for the write-off of unamortized  deferred financing costs
          of $1,402,000 less income tax benefit of $536,000.

CABLE CAR ACQUISITION PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     (d)  To  reflect  the  Company's  investment  in Cable  Car of  $40,844,000
          consisting of (i) $37,406,000  representing  the value, as of November
          25, 1997,  of  1,566,731  shares of Common  Stock,  par value $.10 per
          share,  issued in the Cable Car  Acquisition  based  upon the  closing
          share  price of $23 7/8,  which was the closing  market  price for the
          Common  Stock as reported in the  consolidated  transaction  reporting
          system as of November 25, 1997 (the "November 25, 1997 Market Price"),
          (ii)  $2,788,000  representing  the value (based upon the November 25,
          1997 Market  Price) of 154,931  options to purchase an equal number of
          shares of Common  Stock  with below  market  option  prices  issued in
          exchange for all of the  outstanding  Cable Car options as of November
          25, 1997 and (iii)  $650,000 of an aggregate  $1,300,000  of estimated
          expenses,  of which the  remaining  $650,000 was  attributable  to the
          registration  of the  1,566,731  shares  of  Common  Stock  under  the
          Securities  Act  and,  accordingly,  charged  to  "Additional  paid-in
          capital."

     (e)  To reflect the preliminary  estimated allocation of the purchase price
          of Cable Car as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

ARBY'S RESTAURANTS SALE PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     (a)  To reflect the elimination of the sales,  cost of sales,  advertising,
          selling  and   distribution   expenses  and   allocated   general  and
          administrative expenses, the reduction in carrying value of long-lived
          assets  impaired or to be disposed of (for the year ended December 31,
          1996)  related to the sold Arby's  restaurants  and the portion of the
          facilities  relocation and corporate  restructuring  charge associated
          with  restructuring  the  restaurant  segment in  connection  with the
          Arby's  Restaurants  Sale.  The allocated  general and  administrative
          expenses  reflect  the  portion of the  Company's  total  general  and
          administrative  expenses allocable to the operating results associated
          with the restaurants  sold as determined by management of the Company.
          Such allocated  amounts consist of (i) salaries,  bonuses,  travel and
          entertainment expenses,  supplies, training and other expenses related
          to area managers who had responsibility  for the day-to-day  operation
          of the sold  restaurants  and (ii) the  portion of  general  corporate
          overhead (e.g. accounting, human resources, marketing, etc.) estimated
          to  be  avoided  as a  result  of  the  Company  no  longer  operating
          restaurants.  Since the Company no longer owns any Arby's  restaurants
          but  continues  to operate as the Arby's  franchisor,  it  undertook a
          reorganization of its restaurant  segment  eliminating 65 positions in
          its  corporate  and field  administrative  offices  and  significantly
          reducing leased office space.  The effect of the elimination of income
          and expenses of the sold restaurants is  significantly  greater in the
          year ended  December  31, 1996 as compared  with the nine months ended
          September 28, 1997 principally due to two 1996 eliminations  which did
          not recur in the 1997  period  for (i) the  $58,900,000  reduction  in
          carrying value of long-lived  assets  associated  with the restaurants
          sold  and  (ii)   depreciation  and  amortization  on  the  long-lived
          restaurant assets sold, which had been written down to their estimated
          fair values as of December 31, 1996 and were no longer  depreciated or
          amortized while they were held for sale.

     (b)  To  reflect  royalties  through  May  5,  1997  on  the  sales  of the
          restaurants  sold pursuant to the Arby's  Restaurants Sale at the rate
          of 4%.

     (c)  To  reflect a  reduction  to  interest  expense  relating  to the debt
          assumed by RTM.

     (d)  To  reflect  the  elimination  of  the  $2,342,000  loss  on  sale  of
          restaurants recorded in the nine months ended September 28, 1997.
