                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and,
accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures which would substantially
duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to stockholders. The
financial statements as of March 31, 1995 and for the interim periods ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation. Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1995 presentation. Operating results for the interim period ended March
31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full year.
 
     The financial information as of December 31, 1994 has been derived from the
audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to
the financial statements and notes included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
 
2. Cash Equivalents
 
     For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at market value
and consist of short-term U.S. Government obligations.
 
3. Marketable Securities
 
     In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". No
adjustment was required to reflect the adoption of the new standard. Investments
in marketable equity securities, U.S. Government obligations and corporate bonds
are considered available for sale. These investments are carried at market and
adjustments for unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
 
     The amortized cost of debt securities classified as available for sale is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such amortization and interest are included in investment income. The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
 
4. Investments in Affiliates
 
     Summarized financial information for Rally's Hamburgers, Inc. ("Rally's")
the Company's 48% and 38% owned affiliate, respectively, follows:

resulting in a gain of $76,990,000 before income taxes of $28,767,000. At
December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995, a receivable of $200,000 related to income
tax liabilities of GCHI, payable to the Company pursuant to their Tax Sharing
Agreement, is included in other current assets.
 
     GCHI was engaged in the manufacture and sale of portland and masonry
cements and construction aggregates, and its operating results for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994 have been included as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.
 
     Total operating revenue and operating loss attributable to GCHI for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994 included in discontinued operations was $15,513,000
and $543,000, respectively.
 
6. Related Party Transactions
 
     In February 1995, the Company purchased $10,400,000 principal amount of
Rally's 9.875% Senior Notes Due 2000 at an aggregate purchase price of
$4,796,000. Investment income includes $237,000 relating to the Senior Notes.
 
7. Contingent Liabilities
 
     In January 1994, two class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of the
shareholders of Rally's Hamburgers, Inc. in the United States District Court,
Western District of Kentucky, against Rally's, Burt Sugarman and the Company,
and certain of Rally's other officers and directors. The Complaints allege
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to Rally's common
stock and seeks unspecified damages. On April 15, 1994, Rally's filed a Motion
to Dismiss and Motion to Stay Discovery. On April 5, 1995 the court struck
certain provisions of the Complaint and denied the Plaintiff's Motion for Class
Certification. The court also denied Rally's Motion to Dismiss. Management is
unable to predict the outcome of this matter at the present time or whether or
not certain available insurance coverages will apply. Rally's and the Company
intend to defend themselves vigorously in this matter.
 
8. Subsequent Events
 
     In April 1995, the Company acquired 60,000 shares of its common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $348,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
  Results of Operations
 
     Revenues for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 increased to
$1,110,000 as compared to $331,000 in 1994. The increase resulted from a higher
level of investments in cash equivalents and marketable securities in 1995, due
to the sale of the Company's cement operations in October 1994 and the
investment of the proceeds.
 
     Interest costs decreased for the quarter to $43,000 from $1,235,000
primarily as the result of the prepayment in November 1994 of the Company's 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures and 14.5% Subordinated Notes.
 
     Equity in losses of the Company's 48% owned affiliate, Rally's increased
from $850,000 in 1994 to $1,671,000 in 1995 as a result of the increase in
Rally's losses in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 1994.
 
     The Company did not record a tax benefit in the first quarter of 1995 due
to the equity in the loss of its affiliate, Rally's. These losses would have to
be realized through the sale of Rally's common stock or future Rally's earnings
in order for the Company to realize a tax benefit. The income tax benefits
recorded in the first quarter of 1994 related to federal income taxes and were
recorded at an estimated annual rate of 34%.
 
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
     The primary source of cash and equivalents has historically been generated
from operations of the Company's cement business. Since the sale of the
Company's cement operations, liquidity has been provided through investments and
interest income from cash equivalents and marketable securities.
 
     Net cash used in operations for the three months ending March 31, 1995 was
$741,000 compared to a use of $2,170,000 in the three months of 1994. The cash
used in the first quarter of 1995 was primarily used to fund the operations of
the Company and pay expenses which were accrued from the 1994 sale of the cement
operations.
 
     Cash provided by investing activities was $20,347,000 for three months
ending March 31, 1995, compared to cash used in 1994 of $3,619,000. The cash
generated by investing activities in 1995 was due to the sale of marketable
securities offset by the payment of income taxes in the amount of $22,238,000
relating to the profit on the sale of the Company's cement business. The
remaining proceeds were used to purchase cash equivalents.
 
     Net cash used by financing activities was $1,914,000 in the three months
ending March 31, 1995 compared to net cash provided in the three months of 1994
of $2,311,000. The cash used in 1995 by financing activities was for the
repayment of short term borrowings.
 
     Since the sale of the cement operations, the Company has committed its
resources and attention to identifying and evaluating strategic investment
opportunities. The Company desires to acquire or invest in a company that will
provide growth with a stability of earnings and cash flow. However, with the
stock market at today's high level, finding good values or under-valued assets
is difficult. The Company believes opportunities are in the marketplace but
finding the right opportunity at a reasonable price requires patience and
thorough research. The Company is not prepared to make quick investment
decisions to simply redeploy capital, but will be diligent in finding the right
investment.
 
     The Company believes its existing cash and investments are sufficient to
meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future.
