                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of Sybra, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sybra, Inc. as of
December 30, 1995 and December 28, 1996, and the related statements of income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended December 28, 1996. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Sybra, Inc. as of December
30, 1995 and December 28, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 28, 1996
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Organization:

     The Company operates a chain of fast food restaurants (150 at December 28,
1996) clustered in four regions, principally Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Florida, as a franchisee of Arby's, Inc. The Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Valcor, Inc. which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valhi,
Inc. (NYSE:VHI).

     Contran Corporation holds, directly or through subsidiaries, approximately
91% of Valhi's outstanding common stock. Substantially all of Contran's
outstanding voting stock is held by trusts established for the benefit of the
children and grandchildren of Harold C. Simmons, of which Mr. Simmons is sole
trustee. Mr. Simmons, Chairman of the Board of each of Contran, Valhi and
Valcor, may be deemed to control each of such companies and the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies:

     Fiscal year. The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year. The
fiscal years ended December 30, 1995 ("1995") and December 28, 1996 ("1996")
each consisted of 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 ("1994")
consisted of 53 weeks.

     Management 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Ultimate actual results may, in some instances,
differ from previously estimated amounts.

     Restaurant sales. Sales are recorded at the time of the cash retail sale.

     Inventories and cost of sales. Inventories consist of food, beverages,
supplies and promotional items and are stated at the lower of first-in,
first-out cost or market.

 
     Property, equipment, capitalized leases, depreciation and amortization.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 to 33 years for
buildings and three to 10 years for equipment. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful
life of the asset or the term of the lease.

<PAGE>

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

     Assets held under capitalized leases are amortized on the straight-line
method over the term of the lease. Capital lease obligations are recorded as
liabilities and interest expense is recognized in proportion to the remaining
lease obligation.

     Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed; major
improvements are capitalized.

     Intangible assets and amortization. Franchise fees representing the cost to
acquire restaurant franchises are stated net of accumulated amortization of
$4,205,000 at December 30, 1995 and $4,557,000 at December 28, 1996.
Amortization of franchise fees is computed by the straight-line method over
periods ranging from 10 to 20 years.

     Equity in operating leases represents the excess of fair value of rental
rates over the base rental rates at the date of a purchase business combination
and is stated net of accumulated amortization of $3,982,000 at December 30, 1995
and $4,520,000 at December 28, 1996. Amortization of equity in operating leases
is computed by the straight-line method over the life of the respective leases,
generally approximately 20 years.

     Goodwill, representing the excess of cost over fair value of the individual
net assets acquired in purchase transactions, is stated net of accumulated
amortization of $1,346,000 at December 30, 1995 and $1,512,000 at December 28,
1996. Amortization of goodwill is computed by the straight-line method over 40
years.

     Other intangibles, included in other noncurrent assets, are amortized by
the straight-line method over the periods expected to be benefitted.

     Income taxes. Sybra, Valcor and Valhi are members of Contran's consolidated
United States federal income tax group (the "Contran Tax Group"). The policy for
intercompany allocation of federal income taxes provides that subsidiaries
included in the Contran Tax Group compute the provision for federal income taxes
on a separate company basis. Subsidiaries of Valcor make payments to or receive
payments from Valcor in the amounts they would have paid to or received from the
Internal Revenue Service had they not been members of the Contran Tax Group. The
separate company provisions and payments are computed using tax elections made
by Contran.

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax and
financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

     Other. Advertising costs, expensed as incurred, were $8.8 million in 1994,
$9.2 million in 1995 and $9.4 million in 1996.

     The Company has two unsecured revolving credit facilities aggregating $29
million which are due through July 1998, subject to renewal by the parties. The
credit facilities provide for interest, at the Company's option, at a base rate
or LIBOR plus 1.50%. At December 28, 1996, the weighted average interest rate on
outstanding borrowings was approximately 6.9% (1995 - 7.5%) and amounts
available for borrowing aggregated $27.9 million. Bank borrowings reprice with
changes in market interest rates, and the book value of such indebtedness is
deemed to approximate market value.

     The bank reducing revolving credit agreements contain covenants which
require, among other things, the maintenance of net worth and cash flow ratios
within specified levels, restrictions that limit the payment of dividends, and
contain other provisions and restrictive covenants customary in lending
transactions of these types.

     The aggregate maturities of long-term debt and future minimum payments
under capital lease obligations at December 28, 1996 are shown in the table
below.

with unrelated parties. Related party interest expense was $769,000 in 1994,
$809,000 in 1995, and $648,000 in 1996.

     The note agreement between the Company and Valcor contains covenants which
require, among other things, the availability of funds pursuant to credit
agreements and cash balances of at least the amount of the unpaid principal
balance owed to Valcor. The loan from Valcor, due on demand, is classified as a
noncurrent liability to the extent the Company has the ability to refinance such
loan with borrowings under its long-term bank credit facilities.

     The indenture governing certain Valcor Senior Notes contains various
restrictions and covenants which may, among other things, limit the Company's
ability to incur indebtedness, make acquisitions or make investments in new
businesses.

     Under the terms of an Intercorporate Services Agreement with Valhi, the
Company receives certain management, financial and administrative services from
Valhi on a fee basis. Fees pursuant to this agreement were $276,000 in 1994,
$220,000 in 1995 and $240,000 in 1996. Charges from related parties for services
provided in the ordinary course of business, principally charges for insuring
property and other risks, aggregated $767,000 in 1994, $1,150,000 in 1995 and
$985,000 in 1996.

     Certain employees of the Company have been awarded shares of restricted
Valhi common stock and/or granted options to purchase Valhi common stock under
the terms of Valhi's stock option plans. The Company will pay Valhi the
aggregate difference between the option price and the market value of Valhi's
common stock on the exercise date of such options. For financial reporting
purposes, the Company accounts for the related expense (credit) of $110,000 in
1994, nil in 1995 and $15,000 in 1996 in a manner similar to accounting for
stock appreciation rights. At December 28, 1996, employees of the Company held
options to purchase 107,000 shares of Valhi common stock at prices ranging from
$4.76 to $12.16 (85,000 shares at prices lower than the December 31, 1996 quoted
market price of $6.375 per share).

     Restricted stock is forfeitable unless certain periods of employment are
completed. The Company will pay Valhi the market value of the restricted shares
on the dates the restrictions expire, and accrues the related expense over the
restriction period. Expense related to restricted stock was $7,000 in 1994 and
$1,000 in 1995. All of the outstanding restricted shares vested during 1995.

Note 9 - Commitments and contingencies:

     Legal proceedings. The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings
incidental to its normal business activities. The Company believes the
disposition of all such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, should
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results
of operations or liquidity.

     Royalties. Royalty expense was $3.2 million in 1994, $3.3 million in 1995
and $3.4 million in 1996. Royalties are paid to the franchisor based upon a
percentage of gross sales, as specified in the franchise agreement related to
each individual store.

     Development agreements. Sybra has a Market Development Agreement ("MDA")
with Arby's, Inc. which provides Sybra with exclusive development rights within
certain counties in Pennsylvania. The MDA requires Sybra to open an aggregate of
25 stores in its existing regional markets during the period 1997 through 2001
(4 stores in 1997; 6 stores in 1998; 5 stores in 1999; 5 stores in 2000; and 5
stores in 2001), with at least 10 of the stores in the Pennsylvania region.

Note 10 - Subsequant events:

     Special dividend. A special dividend consisting of real property with a
carrying value of approximately $850,000 was declared and paid as of January 31,
1997 to Valcor.

     Disposal of fast food operations. In February 1997 Valcor executed
definitive agreements involving the sale of its fast food operations conducted
by Sybra. The proposed sale would be accomplished in simultaneous transactions
that would include the sale of certain restaurant properties owned by Sybra to
one party for $45 million cash consideration, and Valcor's sale of 100% of the
stock of Sybra to another party for approximately $39.7 million cash
consideration, of which approximately $23.7 million would be used to repay Sybra
bank indebtedness. These transactions are subject to, among other things,
completion of customary due diligence procedures, the second purchaser obtaining
necessary financing for the transaction and certain consents from third parties.
If completed, the transactions are expected to close in the second quarter of
1997. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed.

I.C.H CORPORATION NOTES TO PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General

I.C.H. Corporation, referred to as Reorganized I.C.H. Corporation (the
"Company"), is the successor to I.C.H. Corporation (the "Predecessor Company")
who together with three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of Texas, Dallas Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") on October 10, 1995. The
Company's Joint Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on February 7, 1997 and
became effective on February 19, 1997, the Reorganization Date.

The Company adopted "fresh start" reporting at the Reorganization Date since the
holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of
the Reorganization Plan received less than 50% of the voting shares of the
emerging entity and the reorganization value was estimated to be less than
postpetition liabilities and allowed claims. As the Company had no significant
business operations, management did not anticipate future earnings in
determining reorganization value.

The Company's principal activities since the Reorganization Date have been
devoted to (1) the acquisition of Sybra, Inc., (2) a review of the operations of
its real estate property, Perry Park, located in Owen County, Kentucky and (3)
an evaluation of the alternatives available with respect to BML, a property and
casualty insurer licensed in all fifty states.

BML was sold to Lone Star Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") which was created as a
vehicle to liquidate and distribute assets owned by the Predecessor Company to
the claimants.

The operations of the real estate development are seasonal in nature (April to
October when golf and restaurant revenues are the highest) and are expected to
approximate break-even for 1997. These operations are not expected to be
material to the Company's future operations.

The Company's principal focus, after emerging from bankruptcy, will be the
management and the operation of its recent acquisition, Sybra, Inc. Sybra is the
second largest Arby's franchisee in the United States and currently operates 148
restaurants clustered in four regions.

On April 30, 1997 the Company closed its previously announced agreement of
February 7, 1997 to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Sybra, Inc.,
a Michigan corporation ("Sybra"). The aggregate purchase price was approximately
$37.7 million (including the repayment of $23.7 million of Sybra indebtedness)
with an additional $2 million contingent payment obligation due within two years
if certain leasing arrangements are finalized. Concurrently with such
acquisition, Sybra entered into a sale/lease-back transaction on 61 of its
restaurants sites with U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating L.P. See Notes to
Pro Forma Financial Statements-Balance sheet and Statement of Operations for a
more complete description of the Sybra acquisition and related transactions.

<PAGE>

The Company funded the acquisition through the use of approximately $2.0 million
of its available cash resources, $5.0 million of the proceeds received from the
sale of BML to the Trust, and a $35 million fixed-rate term loan from Atherton
Capital, Incorporated. The loan matures in approximately 12 years, bearing
interest at a rate of 10.63% per annum and is guaranteed by the Company.

The loan agreement contains certain affirmative, negative and financial
covenants, including without limitation, (1) a fixed charge coverage ratio of
1.30: 1.00, as defined, (2) a restriction on borrower distributions or dividends
unless the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.30: 1.00 after giving
account of such dividend or distribution, and (3) a prohibition against
additional debt being incurred by Sybra in excess of $1 million per year, during
the first two (2) years without lender approval, except for capital leases and
debt secured by purchase money security interests, without the lenders prior
written consent.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects allocation of the purchase price
to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as if the transaction occurred on
March 31, 1997. In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma results of
operations for the year ended December 28, 1996 and the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1997 assume that the acquisition occurred at the beginning of 1996
and recognize the effects directly attributable to the acquisition transaction
and expected to have continuing impact. However, such pro forma results of
operations do not purport to represent what actual results would have been had
the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of 1996, nor do they purport
to be indicative of future operations under the ownership and management of the
Company.

The pro forma financial statements reflect the preliminary allocation of
purchase price as the purchase price allocation has not been finalized.

The pro forma results of operations exclude certain restructuring and other
charges of a nonrecurring nature aggregating $2,486,000 which will be included
in income for 1997. Principal items include realignment and severance costs for
the Company's workforce, financing costs of unsuccessful attempts to achieve a
more favorable debt structure and other nonrecurring costs with respect to the
acquisition and restructuring.
