(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 $336,000 or 1.2% increase in revenues for the twelve week period ended March
11, 1996, as compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, is
primarily the result of the opening of two new HomeTown Buffet restaurants
($1,347,000) and two Galaxy Diner conversions ($445,000) which more than offset
the decline in revenues resulting from the decrease in the number of JB's
Restaurants in operation ($608,000) and the 4.8% decline in JB's Restaurants
same store sales (sales from JB's Restaurants open during both the fiscal 1996
and 1995 period). The 4.8% decrease in JB's Restaurants same store sales
reflects a decrease of 10.1% in customer counts while the average customer
purchase increased 5.3%.

The 0.4% or $202,000 decrease in revenues for the twenty-four week period ended
March 11, 1996, as compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year,
is primarily the result of the 5.6% ($1,975,000) decline in JB's

in operation ($1,421,000) partially offset by the opening of two new HomeTown
Buffet restaurants ($2,028,000) and two Galaxy Diner conversions ($1,166,000).
The 5.6% decline in JB's same store sales reflects a decrease of 10.2% in
customer counts while the average customer purchase increased 4.6%.

</TABLE>


FOOD COSTS. The decrease in food costs as a percentage of total revenues for the
twelve and twenty-four week periods ended March 11, 1996, as compared with the
comparable periods of the prior fiscal year, was primarily the result of menu
and operational improvements in all the Company's restaurant concepts.

LABOR COSTS. The decrease in labor costs as a percentage of total revenues in
the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended March 11, 1996, as compared with
the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year, was primarily due to reduced
worker's compensation costs ($269,000 for both the twelve and twenty-four week
periods) and lower labor costs in the HomeTown Buffet restaurants resulting from
improved employee scheduling in the current year.

OCCUPANCY & OTHER EXPENSES. The increase in occupancy and other expenses as a
percentage of total revenues for the twelve week period ended March 11, 1996, as
compared with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, was

                                 Page 10 of 17
<PAGE>   11
primarily due to lower average restaurant sales and a $308,000 increase in the
reserve for potentially uncollectable franchisee receivables partially offset by
lower real estate tax costs ($180,000) and lower preopening costs ($88,000).

The increase in occupancy and other expenses as a percentage of total revenues
for the twenty-four week period ended March 11, 1996, as compared with the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily due to lower average
restaurant sales and a $458,000 increase in the reserve for potentially
uncollectable franchisee receivables partially offset by lower real estate taxes
($343,000) and lower preopening costs ($171,000).

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The increase in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the twelve and twenty-four week
periods ended March 11, 1996, as compared with the comparable periods of the
prior fiscal year was primarily due to a $1.6 million charge in the second
quarter for change of control and other severance costs partially offset by
reduced salaries expense ($140,000 and $260,000 for the twelve and twenty-four
week periods, respectively) and reduced travel and related expenses ($100,000
and $162,000 for the twelve and twenty-four week periods, respectively).

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. The increase in depreciation and amortization as
a percentage of total revenues in the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended
March 11, 1996, as compared with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year
primarily reflects depreciation associated with remodeled JB's Restaurants and
Galaxy Diner conversions (0.2% points) and lower average restaurant sales.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The decrease in interest expense as a percentage of total
revenues for the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended March 11, 1996, as
compared with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year was due primarily
to lower outstanding debt.

INTEREST INCOME. The decrease in interest income as a percentage of total
revenues for the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended March 11, 1996, as
compared with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year was primarily a
result of lower cash and short term investment balances.

GAIN ON SALE OF HOMETOWN BUFFET, INC. STOCK. To improve liquidity and to fund
repayment of bank loans, the Company sold 398,220 shares of HomeTown Buffet,
Inc. stock during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 in open market sales
transactions at prevailing market prices. The average selling price was $11.94
per share. Such sales resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3,959,000.

INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rate of 9.7% of pre-tax income for the
twelve week period ended March 11, 1996, was lower than the 40.5% rate for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to a $418,000
adjustment to fully reserve deferred tax assets that may not be realized in the
future.

The effective income tax rate of 335.8% of pre-tax income for the twenty-four
week period ended March 11, 1996, was higher than the 40.4% rate for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to a $721,000
adjustment to fully reserve deferred tax assets that may not be realized in the
future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the twenty-four week period ended March 11, 1996, the Company's primary
source of cash was the sale of HomeTown Buffet, Inc. ("HTBB") common stock. The
Company requires cash principally for replacement of equipment and maintenance
of leasehold improvements and expects to fund these requirements through cash on
hand at the end of the quarter and cash flow from operations.

The current ratio at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 was
0.3:1.0 compared to 0.3:1.0 at the end of fiscal 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.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, 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 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 seventeen JB's Restaurants 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. The Company does
not anticipate opening another HomeTown Buffet restaurant by June 30, 1996 and,
therefore, the Company expects to forfeit its exclusive area rights.




                                 Page 12 of 17
<PAGE>   13
The Company continues to routinely repair and maintain the Company's
restaurants. The Company currently has no plans for capital spending beyond
maintenance level capital additions.

Pursuant to change of control agreements, the Company paid $1,236,000 to the
President and four senior vice presidents upon their termination during the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. The execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
and Reorganization, as amended, requires the Company to place in escrow accounts
an additional $450,000 under change of control agreements for three additional
senior vice presidents. Payment of benefits is made upon involuntary termination
of any or all of the three senior vice presidents 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 these 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.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, as amended, (the
"Merger Agreement") between the Company and CKE Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("CKE"), the Company will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of
CKE with the Company being the surviving entity. The consideration to be paid to
the Company's shareholders for each share of common stock will consist of $2.63
in cash and .165 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. The merger 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.
