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, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997.  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, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1997, 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.  These schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  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.

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.

                                    (Continued)

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 not to exceed $9,500.  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, participants were no
longer able to make after-tax contributions 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, 1997, plan assets included $34,247 of
unallocated forfeitures.

d.   Participant Accounts:

     As of December 31, 1997, 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.

                                  (Continued)

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 1996 balances have been reclassified to conform to 1997
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's") 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 6.4% and 6.2% for the plan years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The crediting interest rates on these
contracts approximated the average yield as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.

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, and the related trust is tax exempt.
