                         ----------------------------

The Participants and the
            Administrative Committee
Foodmaker, Inc. Easy$aver Plus Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Foodmaker, Inc. Easy$aver Plus Plan as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31,
1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules I and II
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the  Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The fund information in the statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information and the statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits with fund information is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                           December 31, 1996 and 1995

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following brief description of the Foodmaker, Inc.
Easy$aver Plus Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes
only.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.

a.   General:

     The Plan was established effective April 1, 1983 for the
purpose of enabling employees to enhance their long-range financial security
through regular savings with the benefit of Foodmaker, Inc. (the "Company")
contributions.  The benefits provided under the Plan are intended to
supplement the retirement benefits provided under other plans sponsored by
the Company.  The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA");  however, benefits under
the Plan are not eligible for plan termination insurance provided by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of ERISA.

     The Company, as plan sponsor, makes contributions to the
Plan and pays a portion of the administrative costs.  Subject to certain
restrictions, the plan sponsor also has the authority and responsibility for
the general administration of the Plan.  The Chairperson of the Company's
Board of Directors is authorized to appoint the members of the Administrative
Committee (the "Committee").  Mellon Bank, N.A. has become successor trustee
to Northern Trust Company, and has the authority to hold, manage and protect
the assets of the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 
Beginning in April 1996, recordkeeping administrative services are performed
by Dreyfus Service Corporation.  In connection with this change in
recordkeeper, the Plan offers daily investment trading and has increased the
number of investment choices to twelve.

     The Plan covers substantially all regular administrative,
clerical, warehouse and distribution employees, and maintenance
and equipment technicians of the Company who have completed one
year of service, receive regular compensation from a payroll in the United
States, and have attained age 21.  For employees hired on or after April 1,
1996, the one year of service requirement was changed to one year of service
in which the employee is credited with at least 1000 hours of service. 
Participation by eligible employees is voluntary.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

b.   Contributions:

     Participants can elect to have the Company contribute to
the Plan any amount from 2% to 12% of their compensation in 1% increments
through payroll deductions.  This deferral is referred to as a pre-tax
deferral, i.e., it is not subject to income taxes in the year
deferred.  Except as described below, the Company has made matching
contributions equal to 50% of each participant's first 4% of base
compensation deferred.  Effective April 3, 1995, the Company temporarily
suspended matching contributions.  Effective October 2, 1995, the Company
reinstated matching contributions.  Prior to January 1, 1989, participants
who deferred at least 4% of compensation could have elected to contribute an
additional 1% to 10% of compensation, in 1% increments, on an after-tax
basis.  Beginning January 1, 1989, after-tax contributions could have been
made whether or not the participant had elected to make any pre-tax
deferrals.  Effective April 1, 1991, after-tax contributions may no longer be
made to the Plan.  

c.   Vesting:

     Participants have a fully vested interest in their pre-
tax deferrals and after-tax contributions plus actual earnings thereon. 
Company contributions vest at the rate of 25 percent for each year of service
by the participant or upon attainment of age sixty-five, disability, death or
termination of the Plan.  The vested amount in a participant's account
normally is distributed upon termination of employment.  The amount of the
Company's contribution that is not vested with respect to any participant is
forfeited upon termination of employment, but is restored if the participant
becomes an eligible employee within five years after termination. 
Forfeitures are used to reduce employer contributions.  During the year, no
forfeitures were used to reduce employer contributions.  As of December 31,
1996, plan assets included $9,867 of unallocated forfeitures.

d.   Participant Accounts:

     As of December 31, 1996, the trustee maintains twelve
investment funds.  Effective March 31, 1996, the Fidelity Equity Income Fund
and the Twentieth Century Select Fund were discontinued.  Participant balances
were reinvested on April 1, 1996 in the Dreyfus Lifetime Growth & Income Fund
and the Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, respectively.  Also effective
April 1, 1996, the Fixed Income Fund was renamed the Certus Stable Value Fund
and investment management duties previously performed by State Street Bank
are now performed by Certus.  Participants may direct their pre-tax deferrals,
after-tax and Company matching contributions to be placed in any of the twelve
investment funds allocated in multiples of 10% to any combination of these
investment funds.  Earnings derived from the assets of any investment fund
are reinvested in the fund to which they relate.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

d.   Participant Accounts (continued):

Participants may elect to transfer all or any multiple of 10% of the value of
their accounts among funds on any market trading day.  Pending investment of
the assets in an investment fund, the trustee may temporarily make certain
short-term investments.

     The Plan permits voluntary withdrawals by participants
of their after-tax contributions and related earnings no more than once every
six months.  Because of certain Internal Revenue Service regulations,
participants may, with Committee approval, withdraw pre-tax deferrals
(exclusive of earnings for withdrawals after December 31, 1989), Company
matching contributions (if the participant is fully vested) and related
earnings only in the event of a financial hardship.  The Plan permits
participants to borrow from the investment funds.  Loans are subject to such
rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt, including but not limited
to the following:  (1) the amount of the loan is subject to certain
limitations, (2) the loan bears interest at prevailing rates and repayments
are to be made through payroll deductions, and (3) the payment of a
processing fee is required.  Amounts loaned to participants are treated as
invested in such loans and, to the extent unpaid, do not generate any
earnings other than interest thereon.

e.   Use of Estimates:

     The Plan sponsor and administrator have made a number of
estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits to prepare the
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f.   Reclassifications:

     Certain 1995 balances have been reclassified to conform
to 1996 presentation.

2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using
the accrual method of accounting.

     The Plan's common/collective trust funds are stated at
fair value.  The Plan's investments in common stocks and mutual funds are
stated at fair value, which is determined by quoted market prices.  Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  All receivables
and liabilities are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

4.   INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

     The Certus Stable Value Fund includes various guaranteed
investment contracts ("GIC") with insurance companies.  These GIC's guarantee
a fixed rate of interest over a specified period of time.  Funds may be
withdrawn from any GIC by the Plan, prior to the maturity of the GIC, in
order to meet the withdrawal elections by the Plan participants from the
Certus Stable Value Fund.  The average yield on these contracts was 6.2% and
5.8% for the plan years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
crediting interest rates on these contracts approximated the average yield as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995.

5.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and
informed the Company by a letter dated April 1, 1987, that the Plan and
related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the
Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan was amended and restated thereafter
effective January 1, 1988 and January 1, 1989.  On November 28, 1995, the IRS
issued a favorable tax determination letter related to these restatements.
The Plan was further restated effective January 1, 1996.  The Plan sponsor
believes that the Plan continues to qualify and to operate as designed.
