          (a)  Same store percentage change and/or percentage change from prior
               period is not presented due to the relatively small number of
               restaurants open for the full period.

The decrease in revenues for the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, as
compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily the
result of a 6.5% decline in JB's Restaurants same store sales partially offset
by an increase in the number of HomeTown Buffet restaurants and Galaxy Diners.
During the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, the average sales per
JB's Restaurant decreased 4.9% reflecting a decrease in customer counts per unit
of 8.9% and an increase in the average customer purchase of 4.0%. Same store
sales for JB's Restaurants (sales from JB's Restaurants open during both the
fiscal 1996 and 1995 period) decreased 6.5% reflecting a decrease in customer
counts of 10.3% while the average customer purchase increased 3.8%.

FOOD COSTS. The decrease in food costs as a percentage of total revenues for the
twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, as compared with the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily the result of improved food costs
in the JB's Restaurants resulting from the increased average customer purchase
and improved operational controls.

LABOR COSTS. The decrease in labor costs as a percentage of total revenues in
the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, as compared with the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily due to lower labor costs in the
HomeTown Buffet restaurants resulting from improved operational execution.

OCCUPANCY & OTHER EXPENSES. The increase in occupancy and other expenses as a
percentage of total revenues for the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995,
as compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily
due to lower average restaurant sales.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. The increase in depreciation and amortization as
a percentage of total revenues in the twelve week period ended December 18,
1995, as compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year primarily
reflects depreciation associated with remodeled JB's Restaurants and Galaxy
Diner conversions and lower average restaurant sales.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The decrease in interest expense as a percentage of total
revenues for the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, as compared with
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year is due primarily to lower
outstanding debt.

INTEREST INCOME. The decrease in interest income as a percentage of total
revenues for the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, as compared with
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year is primarily a result of lower
cash and short-term investment balances.

GAIN ON SALE OF HOMETOWN BUFFET, INC. STOCK. During the twelve week period ended
December 18, 1995, the Company sold 398,220 shares of HomeTown Buffet, Inc.
stock resulting in a pre-tax gain of $3,959,000.

INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rate of 47.3% of pre-tax income for the
twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, is higher than the 40.3% rate for
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to an adjustment of
$303,000 to fully reserve net deferred tax assets that may not be realized in
the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the quarter, the Company's primary source of working capital was the sale of
HTBB common stock. The Company requires capital principally for replacement of
equipment and maintenance of leasehold improvements and expects to fund these
capital requirements through cash on hand at the end of the quarter and
internally generated funds.

During the twelve week period ended December 18, 1995, cash and cash equivalents
were provided by the following sources:

</TABLE>


During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, cash used exceeded cash provided
by $0.9 million due primarily to a reduction in accounts payable and other
accrued liabilities and the repayment of debt.

The current ratio at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1996 was
0.3:1.0 compared to 0.3:1.0 at the end of 1995. Management does not consider the
fact that the current ratio is less than one to be, itself, an indication of a
liquidity problem as the restaurant business has practically no receivables and
minimum inventories that typically turn faster than accounts payable to
suppliers.

As of September 25, 1995, the Company held 528,220 shares of HTBB common stock.
Between September 25, 1995, and December 18, 1995, the Company sold 398,220
shares of HTBB common stock generating net proceeds of $4.8 million resulting in
a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million. $2.1 million of these proceeds were used to


                                 Page 11 of 18
<PAGE>   12
repay the Company's bank loans in full, $700,000 remains in escrow as partial
security against $2.0 million in letters of credit with the remaining $2.0
million retained by the Company. The letters of credit are secured by certain
properties owned by the Company, by the remaining 130,000 shares of HTBB common
stock and by the escrow account noted above. In addition, the Company has a
$180,000 certificate of deposit securing $180,000 in letters of credit.

In August 1994, the Company entered into a master lease agreement (the
"Agreement") to finance equipment for new HomeTown Buffet restaurants. The
Agreement, among other things, required the Company to maintain a minimum
tangible net worth of at least $40 million. On January 5, 1996, the master lease
agreement was amended to require a minimum tangible net worth of $33 million. In
exchange for this reduced covenant, the Company has deposited $365,000 with the
leasing company. This deposit is to be applied against payments due for the
final year of the lease subject to earlier release if certain financial
performance objectives are achieved.

The Company is required to open a minimum of 17 HomeTown Buffet restaurants by
June 30, 1996, in order to maintain its exclusive area development agreement
with HomeTown Buffet, Inc. In addition, the Company is required to open an
additional 5 HomeTown Buffet restaurants by December 31, 1996. Should the
Company not open the required number of HomeTown Buffet restaurants, the Company
would lose its exclusive area rights.

The Company currently has no plans to remodel any JB's Restaurants in 1996. The
Company continues to routinely repair and maintain the Company's restaurants.
Future Galaxy Diner conversions, JB's Restaurants remodels and new HomeTown
Buffet restaurants will be dependent upon the Company improving internal cash
flow and/or finding additional sources of capital including the potential sale
of assets. To the extent that these assets secure certain letters of credit, in
the event the assets are sold, the Company expects that it will maintain cash
collateral for the letters of credit in accordance with the Company's agreement
with the bank. If the Company's earnings do not improve or other sources of
financing are not obtained, the Company would not have the available financing
for capital spending beyond maintenance level capital additions.

On January 24, 1996, an Amended Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
(the "Merger Agreement") was executed between the Company and CKE Restaurants,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CKE"), pursuant to which the Company will merge
with a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKE with the Company being the surviving
entity. Consideration for the merger to be paid to the Company's shareholders
for each share of common stock and for each share of preferred stock will
consist of $2.77 in cash and .1738 shares of CKE common stock, provided that the
average CKE common stock price is between $15.00 per share and $17.00 per share
at the closing. If the average CKE common stock price is higher than $17.00 or
lower than $15.00 at the closing, the exchange ratio will be adjusted
accordingly. If the average CKE common stock price is below $13.25, the exchange
ratio may be adjusted at the option of CKE. If CKE elects to not adjust the
exchange ratio, Summit has the right to terminate the agreement. In addition,
the consideration may be increased if CKE enters into agreements to sell certain
assets and the total consideration to be received by CKE exceeds a specified
level. Any such increase would be allocated one-half to the cash portion of the
consideration and one-half to the common stock portion of the consideration. The
transaction is conditioned upon the Company's shareholders approving the
transaction and the usual and customary conditions to closing, including,
without limitation, accuracy of the parties' representations and warranties,
performance of the parties' covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement
and obtaining proper consents of third parties as necessary.

Pursuant to certain change of control agreements, the Company may be obligated
to pay benefits to the President and seven Senior Vice Presidents in the event
of a significant change in ownership of the Company. The Merger Agreement
triggered a provision in the change of control agreements that requires the
Company to place in escrow accounts approximately $1.7 million. Payment of
benefits is made upon involuntary 



                                 Page 12 of 18
<PAGE>   13
termination of those individuals noted above between the signing of the Merger
Agreement and one year after consummation of the merger or upon the voluntary
termination of employment during the second 90 days following consummation of
the merger. The Company has not yet funded the escrow accounts.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal in nature with the spring and summer quarters
being the highest volume periods. The Company's lowest volume periods typically
occur during the fall and winter fiscal quarters.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Many of the Company's employees are paid hourly rates related to the federal and
state minimum wage laws. Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage could
materially increase the Company's labor costs. Currently, there are no further
scheduled increases in the federal minimum wage. In addition, the cost of food
commodities utilized by the Company are subject to market supply and demand
pressures. Shifts in these costs may have a significant impact on the Company's
food costs. The Company anticipates that increases in these costs can be offset
through pricing and other cost control efforts; however, there is no assurance
that the Company would be able to pass such costs on to its guests or if it were
able to do so, it could do so in a short period of time.

            SUMMIT FAMILY RESTAURANTS INC. AND CKE RESTAURANTS, INC.
                             AMEND MERGER AGREEMENT

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Summit Family Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ: SMFR) and CKE
Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) today announced an amendment to the previously
announced merger agreement.

Under the terms of the amended merger agreement, CKE Restaurants will acquire
all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Summit Family Restaurants
for a purchase price equal to $2.77 per share in cash and .1738 shares of CKE
common stock provided that the average CKE common stock price is between $15.00
per share and $17.00 per share at the closing. If the average CKE common stock
price is higher than $17.00 or lower than $15.00 at the closing, the exchange
ratio will be adjusted accordingly. If the average CKE common stock price is
below $13.25, the exchange ratio may be adjusted at the option of CKE. If CKE
elects to not adjust the exchange ratio, Summit has the right to terminate the
agreement. At the current average CKE common stock price of $15.70, the total
consideration would be $5.50 per share. This transaction will result in the
merger of Summit Family Restaurants into a newly formed subsidiary of CKE
Restaurants, with Summit being the surviving corporation. The merger, which is
subject to Summit Family Restaurants' shareholder approval is expected to close
by the end of April 1996.

Don McComas, president and chief executive officer of Summit Family Restaurants,
said, "After careful review the Board of Directors has concluded that the merger
consideration represents the best alternative for Summit's shareholders. The
merger will allow our shareholders to receive cash plus an ownership position in
CKE Restaurants, which in their most recent fiscal year have experienced an
extraordinary recovery in a difficult restaurant environment, with substantial
growth in both same-store sales and earnings."

William P. Foley, CKE Restaurants' chairman and chief executive officer, said,
"We remain excited and committed to completing a successful transaction that
will benefit both CKE Restaurants' and Summit Family Restaurants' shareholders."

Summit Family Restaurants operates restaurants under three concepts; 78 company
and 24 franchised family style JB's Restaurants; six Galaxy Diner restaurants;
and 16 HomeTown Buffet restaurants. CKE Restaurants, Inc. is the parent of Carl
Karcher Enterprises, Inc., which, along with its franchisees and licensees,
