                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      AUGUST 15, 1994 AND AUGUST 9, 1993

NOTE (A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        In June 1994, a plan of reorganization and agreement of merger were
approved by the shareholders of Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises")
whereby Enterprises and Boston Pacific, Inc. ("Boston Pacific") became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CKE Restaurants, Inc. ("Restaurants" and
collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and the shareholders of
Enterprises became stockholders of the Company. Restaurants is a Delaware
corporation formed to provide overall strategic direction and finance, legal
and administrative support to Enterprises, operator and franchisor of
approximately 650 Carl's Jr. restaurants, and Boston Pacific, an area developer
of Boston Chicken, Inc. that will develop and operate up to 300 Boston Chicken
stores.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do
not include all information and footnotes which would be presented were such
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements presented in Enterprises' 1994 Annual
Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented
have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

        Since Boston Pacific began its start-up operations in February 1994 and
Restaurants did not commence its operations until June 1994, most of the
financial performance for the current fiscal year and all of the financial
performance for the prior fiscal year discussed and analyzed in this Form 10-Q
are comprised of the operations of Enterprises, unless otherwise indicated.

NOTE (B)  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," as of February 1, 1994, the adoption of which did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. SFAS 115
requires the inclusion in income or stockholders' equity of unrealized gains
and losses resulting from the fair value accounting of investments in debt and
equity securities, except for debt securities classified as "held to maturity."

        Net income for the first half of fiscal 1994 has been restated from
that previously reported to reflect a charge of $768,000, which represented the
cumulative effect related to a change in the method used to discount the
Company's workers' compensation reserve.

NOTE (C) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various
claims, lawsuits and other disputes with third parties incidental to its
operations. While certain of these matters involve claims for substantial
amounts, the Company intends to defend these actions vigorously and it is the
opinion of the Company's management that their ultimate resolution will not
have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE (D)  RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1995 presentation.


                                                                              7

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

OVERVIEW

        In June 1994, a plan of reorganization and agreement of merger were
approved by the shareholders of Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises")
whereby Enterprises and Boston Pacific, Inc. ("Boston Pacific") became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CKE Restaurants, Inc. ("Restaurants" and
collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and the shareholders of
Enterprises became stockholders of the Company. Restaurants is a Delaware
corporation formed to provide overall strategic direction and finance, legal
and administrative support to Enterprises, operator and franchisor of
approximately 650 Carl's Jr. restaurants, and Boston Pacific, an area developer
of Boston Chicken, Inc. that will develop and operate up to 300 Boston Chicken
stores.

        In April 1994, as part of its new marketing strategy, Enterprises
implemented a quality/value repositioning program designed to improve
customers' price/value perceptions and increase the frequency of their visits, 
which should in turn increase Carl's Jr. restaurant sales. This repositioning 
program resulted in lower prices and a more streamlined menu in most Carl's Jr.
restaurants. New menu boards were installed that prominently display
photographs of a variety of products, making the menu easier to read, and
allowing for more effective promotion of "combo meal" sales. New drive-thru
timers were also installed to help the operators improve their speed of
service. A new advertising campaign was introduced and resources were devoted
to a new product development program and the ongoing consumer research
necessary to support this entire marketing strategy. Finally, to ensure that
any increases in sales and transactions resulting from this program did not
negatively affect the Company's high standards for guest service, staffing
levels were higher than usual during the introductory weeks of this campaign.

        In an effort to increase further its retail sales, the Company is also
aggressively exploring and testing a variety of new ideas and opportunities for
its Carl's Jr. restaurants. One such opportunity is a test of dual concepts
which will offer branded products from other restaurant concepts (e.g. Green
Burrito(R)) in a limited number of both Company-operated and franchised
restaurants in the coming months.

        The Company's first three Boston Chicken stores opened during the
second quarter of this year, all of which were formerly Carl's Jr. restaurants.
A total of six Carl's Jr. restaurants will be converted to Boston Chicken
stores in fiscal 1995. All of these restaurants were closed during the first
half of this year. By converting these sites, the Company believes that the
development of its Boston Chicken operations has been accelerated, several
underperforming Carl's Jr. restaurants have been eliminated, and sales and
profit increases have occurred in the Carl's Jr. locations nearest these
conversion sites. A total of 17 Boston Chicken stores will open in the latter
half of this year, five of which are scheduled to open in the third quarter and
12 of which are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter.
        
        Since Boston Pacific began its start-up operations in February 1994 and
Restaurants did not commence its operations until June 1994, most of the
financial performance for the current fiscal year and all of the financial
performance for the prior fiscal year discussed and analyzed below are
comprised of the operations of Enterprises, unless otherwise indicated.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        The quality/value repositioning program at Carl's Jr. and the start-up
of the Company's Boston Chicken operations each required the use of cash during
the 28 weeks ended August 15, 1994. Additionally, a nonrecurring $3.0 million
cash payment was made related to an arbitration settlement for which an accrual
had been recognized at the end of the prior fiscal year. Thus, cash and cash
equivalents decreased a total of $7.9 million since the end of fiscal 1994.
Total cash, cash invested in money market funds (a cash equivalent) and
short-term marketable securities, which are invested in a diversified,
highly-liquid investment portfolio containing minimal interest rate risk,
amounted to $18.1 million as of the end of the second quarter.


                                                                               8

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

(Continued)

        Other current assets decreased during the current fiscal year largely
as a result of the reclassification of $6.8 million of investment securities to
marketable securities. These funds, which had been held in trust by the State
of California in connection with the Company's self-insured workers' 
compensation program, were returned to the Company in April 1994. The State
requires the Company to secure its potential workers' compensation claims each
year by providing a prescribed amount either through one or more standby
letters of credit or an equivalent amount of cash or investment securities. The
requirement for the period beginning May 1, 1994 is $12.1 million and the
Company negotiated with its bank in March 1994 to provide a single standby
letter of credit to satisfy this requirement.

        In August 1994, the Company's revolving credit line with its bank was
increased to $20.0 million, of which $15.7 will be committed to two standby
letters of credit, one related to the Company's workers' compensation program
and the other related to the Company's distribution facility in Northern
California.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company reacquired several
Carl's Jr. restaurants from a former franchisee which resulted in the reversal
of $2.7 million of lease subsidy reserves that had previously been established.

        In May 1994, the Board of Directors adopted a new stock incentive plan
under which various incentives including stock or stock options may be awarded
to eligible employees and non-employee directors to purchase up to 1,750,000
shares of the Company's common stock. This plan, approved by the shareholders
at the Company's 1994 annual meeting, provides for certain automatic grants of
stock options each year to non-employee directors, priced at an amount equal to
or greater than the fair market value on the grant date. A total of 50,000
options have been granted under this new plan.

        In July 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
two million shares of the Company's common stock. A total of 11,100 shares of
stock were repurchased during the quarter ended August 15, 1994. These shares
were purchased in a series of open market transactions for an aggregate
purchase price of $98,000 and are being held as treasury stock. Subsequent to
the end of the quarter, the Company purchased a total of 62,500 shares from the
Chairman Emeritus at a price of $9.13 per share. These shares are also being
held as treasury stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Retail sales, comprised mainly of Carl's Jr. restaurant sales,
decreased 3% and 4% in the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 15, 1994 to
$87.3 million and $198.6 million, respectively, primarily due to lower per
store volumes but also because the number of restaurants operating in both
current year periods decreased slightly. On a same-store basis, these
restaurant sales, which are calculated using only restaurants open for the full
periods being compared, declined approximately 1% in the second quarter of this
year, following approximately a 4% decline in the first quarter of this year.
The 1% decline in the most recent quarter is the lowest quarterly decline
experienced by the Company during the last three years and is a marked
improvement as compared with the decline in the prior fiscal year, which
averaged approximately 9% throughout the first half of the year. The Company
believes its Carl's Jr. restaurant sales were positively affected by improving
customer price/value perceptions as a result of its repositioning program.


                                                                               9

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

(Continued)

        Revenues from franchised restaurants, including sales of food service
products by the Company's distribution centers, rental income, royalties and
initial franchise fees accounted for nearly 95% of total revenues from
franchised and licensed restaurants for all periods presented. Despite an
approximate 4% increase in the weighted-average number of franchised
restaurants operating in both current year periods, sales of food service
products by the Company decreased slightly as compared with the comparable year
ago periods because of declines in the franchisees' retail sales. Also
contributing to the decrease in food service sales was a reduction in prices
charged by the Company as a result of lower commodity costs and successful
contract renegotiations with certain of its vendors. Royalties rose in
connection with scheduled increases in royalty rates, particularly in the
current 28-week period, and an increase in the franchised restaurant base.
These increases were more than offset in both current year periods by the
decrease in other fees related to the sales of and repairs and maintenance on
certain franchise equipment. These sales and services were discontinued near
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

        The Company has continued to focus on improving the cost structure of
its Carl's Jr. restaurants during fiscal 1995. For the 28 weeks ended August
15, 1994, Company-operated restaurant margins improved to 16.4% from 15.5% a
year ago despite slight declines in the Company-operated restaurant base and a
3% decline in same-store sales during the current year. For the 12-week
quarter, these margins were 17.9% as compared with 18.1% in the second quarter
of last year. During the first quarter of this year (a 16-week period), these
margins were 15.5% as compared with 13.4% a year ago. During the most recent
quarter, margins were affected by higher staffing levels resulting from the
introduction of the Company's repositioning program.

        Nearly 80% of all operating costs associated with franchised and
licensed restaurants in both current year periods were related to the sales of
food service products to franchisees. Gross margins for franchised and licensed
restaurants decreased slightly due to the Company s decision to share decreases
in commodity costs and other savings with its franchisees.

        Advertising expenses increased nearly 9% and 7% during the 12- and
28-week periods ended August 15, 1994, respectively. Although sales by
Company-operated restaurants decreased in both current year periods,
advertising expenses increased, particularly in the second quarter of this
year, in connection with the Company's repositioning program.

        General and administrative expenses were 4% higher in the 12-week
quarter as compared with the comparable prior year period due largely to
expenses related to the start-up of the Company's Boston Chicken operations and
costs associated with enhancing several key areas of the Company, including
marketing, strategic planning and information systems. General and
administrative expenses for the 28-week period were similarly affected by these
costs as well as the write-off of the former menu boards, which totaled
$957,000. These costs were offset by a reversal of certain previously
established lease subsidy reserves totaling $2.7 million in connection with the
reacquisition of several Carl's Jr. franchised restaurants during the first
quarter of this year.

        The Company's total debt continued to steadily decline in fiscal 1995
and as such, interest expense decreased approximately 10% in both current year
periods.

        Other income, net, in both fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 was comprised of
investment income, gains or losses on sales of restaurants, interest on notes
and leases receivable and other miscellaneous interest income. Investment
income for the 12-week quarter compares favorably to the prior year 12-week
quarter largely due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." As a result of adopting this new standard, the net unrealized loss
on the Company's marketable securities portfolio for the current quarter was
included in stockholders' equity while such losses a year ago


                                                                              10

were included in other income, net. For the 28-week period, total investment
income was $1.1 million lower than last year due to the liquidation of 
the investment portfolio initiated in the prior year.  Fewer sales in the
current year as compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 1994 and a first
quarter loss of $450,000 related to the termination of a restaurant lease in
the current year resulted in decreased gains on sales of restaurants,
particularly in the 28-week period. Interest income from notes and leases
receivable decreased in both current year periods due to lower average
franchisee balances outstanding.

        The fiscal 1995 effective tax rate was comparable to the effective rate
applied in the same period a year ago. Lower income before income taxes in the
first half of fiscal 1995 resulted in lower tax expense as compared with the
same fiscal 1994 period.

        Net income for the first half of fiscal 1994 has been restated from
that previously reported to reflect a charge of $768,000, which represented the
cumulative effect related to a change in the method used to discount the
Company's workers' compensation reserve.
