         This Form 8-K/A of Triarc Companies,  Inc. ("Triarc" and,  collectively
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  Commision  (the  "SEC") on  November  9,  2000.  This
amendment includes Item 7(b), Pro Forma Financial  Information,  in its entirety
although the only changes from the Original  Form 8-K are to (1) note (h) to the
unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2000 and
(2) the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of operations for
the year ended  January 2, 2000 and the six months  ended July 2, 2000 and notes
(a) and (c) thereto.  The pro forma  adjustment (c) to interest expense has been
corrected to properly reflect interest allocated to the discontinued  operations
in  the  historical  financial  statements  of  such  entity  in  the  condensed
consolidated  statement of operations for the year ended January 2, 2000 and pro
forma adjustments (d) and (a),  respectively,  to the provision for income taxes
have been corrected (1) for the effect of the correction to interest  expense in
the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 2,
2000  and  (2) for the  proper  allocation  between  continuing  operations  and
discontinued operations for the six months ended July 2, 2000.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (b) Pro Forma Financial Information

              PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following  unaudited pro forma (i) condensed  consolidated  balance
sheet  of the  Company  as of July  2,  2000  and  (ii)  condensed  consolidated
statements  of  operations of the Company for the year ended January 2, 2000 and
the six months ended July 2, 2000 have been prepared by adjusting such financial
statements, as derived from (i) the audited consolidated financial statements in
Triarc's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  January 2, 2000
(the "Triarc Form 10-K") and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements  in  Triarc's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarter
ended July 2, 2000 (the "Triarc Form 10-Q"). Such adjustments are to reflect the
sale of Snapple  Beverage Group (the Company's  premium  beverage  business) and
Royal Crown (the Company's soft drink concentrate  business) on October 25, 2000
and the related  repayment by the Company of certain debt or  assumption  by the
Purchaser of certain  debt, as if such  transactions  had occurred as of July 2,
2000 for the condensed  consolidated balance sheet and as of January 4, 1999 for
the 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
and (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. 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 the sale of
Snapple  Beverage Group and Royal Crown and the related  repayment or assumption
of certain debt actually been  consummated  on July 2, 2000 and January 4, 1999,
respectively,  or of the future  financial  position or results of operations of
the Company.

(a)  To reflect the Snapple Beverage Sale for estimated net proceeds aggregating
     $1,311,362,000,  net of estimated related expenses of $15,000,000. Such net
     proceeds  consist of (i) the  assumption  by the  Purchaser of certain debt
     consisting of (a) $300,000,000 of 101/4% senior subordinated notes due 2009
     (the "Senior  Notes")  co-issued by Triarc  Consumer  Products  Group,  LLC
     ("TCPG"), the parent company of Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown, and
     Snapple  Beverage Group and accrued  interest  thereon of $11,832,000 as of
     July  2,  2000  and  (b)  Triarc's  zero  coupon  convertible  subordinated
     debentures due 2018 (the "Debentures") of $116,760,000,  net of unamortized
     original issue discount of $243,240,000,  as of July 2, 2000 and (ii) cash,
     which as of July 2, 2000,  would have been  $882,770,000.  The $846,022,000
     excess of proceeds over the net assets and liabilities of Snapple  Beverage
     Group and Royal Crown  represents  a  component  of the gain on the Snapple
     Beverage  Sale. The estimated net proceeds are subject to  finalization  of
     post-closing  purchase price adjustment  provisions of the Snapple Beverage
     Sale contract.  Estimated  related  expenses are subject to finalization of
     costs and expenses  incurred in connection  with the Snapple  Beverage Sale
     for investment banking advisory services, legal and accounting services and
     other costs and expenses of the transaction as well as transaction  related
     incremental compensation costs and expenses.

(b)  To reflect  the payment of  outstanding  borrowings  and  accrued  interest
     thereon  aggregating  $467,619,000 under a senior bank credit facility (the
     "Beverage Credit Facility") maintained by Snapple, Mistic, Stewart's, Royal
     Crown and RCAC, LLC,  formerly  RC/Arby's  Corporation,  ("RC/Arby's")  the
     parent company of Royal Crown and Arby's,  Inc. and a subsidiary of Triarc,
     repaid in connection with the Snapple Beverage Sale. Such obligations as of
     July 2, 2000 consisted of $438,290,000 of outstanding  term loans, of which
     $17,841,000 were classified as current and $420,449,000  were classified as
     non-current, $20,000,000 of outstanding borrowings under a revolving credit
     facility,  all of which were  classified  as  current,  and  $9,329,000  of
     accrued interest thereon.

(c)  To reflect  non-cash  capital  contributions  to Snapple Beverage Group and
     Royal Crown,  net of a non-cash  dividend  from Royal  Crown,  amounting to
     $100,382,000  made in  connection  with the  Snapple  Beverage  Sale  which
     increased the investment in Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown and thus
     reduced  the pre-tax  gain from the Snapple  Beverage  Sale.  Such  capital
     contributions  and dividend  related to intercompany  balances with Snapple
     Beverage Group and Royal Crown.

(d)  To reflect a $6,159,000  cash payment made in  connection  with the Snapple
     Beverage Sale to certain  holders of Triarc stock options as a reduction of
     the  pre-tax  gain from the  Snapple  Beverage  Sale.  Such  payment was to
     employees of Snapple  Beverage Group and Royal Crown who were holders of an
     aggregate of 912,169  Triarc  stock  options and who chose to give up their
     Triarc  stock  options in  connection  with the  Snapple  Beverage  Sale in
     consideration  for the payment of an amount per option  equal to the excess
     of the closing price of Triarc's  common stock on October 20, 2000 over the
     respective exercise prices of the underlying options.

(e)  To reflect Triarc's obligation to issue its common shares issuable upon any
     conversion of the Debentures which were assumed by the Purchaser as part of
     the  Snapple  Beverage  Sale as a reduction  of the  pre-tax  gain from the
     Snapple  Beverage Sale.  Such obligation will be accounted for as a written
     call option (the  "Written  Call  Option").  This  adjustment  reflects the
     $1,476,000 estimated fair value of the Written Call Option as determined by
     independent  third party  consultants  utilizing the  Black-Scholes  option
     pricing  model.  Should  Triarc be required to issue any such common shares
     upon  any  conversion,  Triarc  would  receive  compensation  equal  to the
     accreted value of each of the Debentures converted as of that date.

(f)  To reflect the cost  associated  with  certain  transactions  which will no
     longer be consummated as a result of the Snapple Beverage Sale, principally
     a planned initial public offering of Snapple Beverage Group common stock as
     a  reduction  of the  pre-tax  gain from the Snapple  Beverage  Sale.  Such
     amounts  include the write-off of $655,000 of deferred  costs as of July 2,
     2000  and  estimated  additional  unpaid  costs  as  of  July  2,  2000  of
     $2,160,000.

(g)  To reflect the  reversal of  previously  accrued  liabilities  at Triarc no
     longer required as a result of the Snapple  Beverage Sale as an increase to
     the pre-tax gain from the Snapple Beverage Sale.

(h)  To reflect a provision  for income taxes of  $271,616,000  on the estimated
     $741,307,000  net pre-tax gain determined as of July 2, 2000 resulting from
     the Snapple  Beverage  Sale  resulting  from the  adjustments  above.  Such
     provision  consists of (i) a current  income tax liability of  $251,792,000
     resulting  from the  pre-tax  gain for income tax  purposes  on the Snapple
     Beverage Sale as of July 2, 2000 and (ii) the utilization of $19,824,000 of
     non-current deferred income tax assets included as a component of "Deferred
     income  taxes." The tax provision  does not reflect an election,  which has
     not yet been made, to treat the  transaction  as an asset sale in lieu of a
     stock sale under  section  338(h)(10)  of the Internal  Revenue Code or any
     payment by the Purchaser with respect  thereto.  The  determination of such
     gain  based on account  balances  as of July 2, 2000,  is  preliminary,  is
     subject to changes in the balances of the  investments in Snapple  Beverage
     Group and Royal  Crown  between  July 2, 2000 and the October 25, 2000 sale
     date  and  is  subject  to  finalization  of  post-closing  purchase  price
     adjustment  provisions of the Snapple Beverage Sale contract,  finalization
     of  estimated  related  expenses  incurred in  connection  with the Snapple
     Beverage  Sale as  discussed in (a) above,  and, as such,  such gain is not
     necessarily indicative of the gain that will actually be recognized for the
     Snapple Beverage Sale.

(i)  To reflect an extraordinary charge of $21,569,000  determined as of July 2,
     2000 for the early  assumption or  extinguishment,  as  applicable,  of the
     Senior  Notes  (see (a)  above),  the  Debentures  (see (a)  above) and the
     obligations  under the  Beverage  Credit  Facility  (see (b)  above).  Such
     charges consisted of (i) the write-off of previously  unamortized  deferred
     financing costs of $28,711,000 and (ii) the payment of prepayment penalties
     of $5,509,000, net of income tax benefit of $12,651,000.

(j)  To reverse  current  liabilities  related to raw materials  purchased  from
     third party vendors by Triarc on behalf of Snapple Beverage Group and Royal
     Crown  and  Triarc's  corresponding   intercompany  receivable  since  such
     liabilities were assumed by Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown upon the
     Snapple Beverage Sale.

(a)  To eliminate the results of operations of the premium beverage business and
     the soft drink concentrate business  aggregating  $4,727,000 and $2,830,000
     for the year ended  January 2, 2000 and the six months  ended July 2, 2000,
     respectively,  since it is assumed the Snapple  Beverage  Sale  occurred on
     January 4, 1999.

(b)  To eliminate interest expense, consisting of amortization of original issue
     discount  and  deferred  financing  costs,  accounted  for by Triarc on the
     Debentures which are being assumed by the Purchaser since it is assumed the
     Debentures were assumed on January 4, 1999.

(c)  To eliminate interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing
     costs, accounted for by TCPG on the Senior Notes which are being assumed by
     the Purchaser  since it is assumed the Senior Notes were assumed on January
     4, 1999. Such  elimination of interest expense on the Senior Notes has been

     The Written Call Option for common stock  recorded in  connection  with the
     Snapple Beverage Sale was not used in the calculation of diluted income per
     share since the  inclusion  of such shares  would have had an  antidilutive
     effect.

Note:   Income from  continuing  operations  excludes  $469,691,000 of estimated
        gain on the Snapple Beverage Sale, net of income taxes and a $21,569,000
        extraordinary  charge for the early extinguishment of debt, net of taxes
        determined  as of July 2, 2000.  Such  amounts,  as determined as of the
        October 25, 2000 sales date,  will be  recognized  during the  Company's
        fiscal  quarter  ended  December  31, 2000 as income  from  discontinued
        operations.
