                            FAMILY RESTAURANTS, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


         1. COMPANY.  Family Restaurants, Inc. (formerly The Restaurant 
Enterprises Group, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in 1986 and is primarily 
engaged in the operation of full-service restaurants throughout the United 
States through its subsidiaries (Family Restaurants, Inc. together with its 
subsidiaries shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Company").  At June 25, 
1995, the Company operated 687 restaurants in 33 states, with approximately 53% 
of its restaurants located in California.  The Company is the licensor of 237
full-service restaurants in Japan and South Korea, the franchisor of five
family restaurants and four Mexican restaurants in the United States and the
franchisor of 19 Mexican restaurants outside the United States.

         Reference to the "Predecessor Company" refers to The Restaurant 
Enterprises Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (not including 
Chi- Chi's) with respect to information relating to periods prior to January 
27, 1994 included herein, and reference to the "Successor Company" refers to 
Family Restaurants, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, giving effect to 
the Acquisition (as defined below) and related transactions as described below, 
with respect to information about events occurring upon completion of or after 
the Acquisition.

         2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial 
Statements in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with Securities 
and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.  Reference is made to the Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 25, 1994 included 
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for information with respect to the
Company's significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as
other pertinent information.  The Company believes that all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made.
The results of operations of the Successor Company for the quarter and six
months ended June 25, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those for the full
year.

         The Predecessor Company commenced a prepackaged Chapter 11 
reorganization on November 23, 1993, which was confirmed by the United States 
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on January 7, 1994.  The 
Predecessor Company applied the provisions of the American Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting 
by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," in the consolidated 
financial statements for the one month ended January 26, 1994.





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8
         The accumulated deficit of the Predecessor Company was eliminated as 
required by fresh start reporting; additionally, the statement of operations 
for the one month ended January 26, 1994 reflects the effects of the 
extinguishment of debt resulting from confirmation of the plan of 
reorganization and the effects of the adjustments to restate assets and 
liabilities to reflect the reorganization value of the Successor Company.  As 
such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 25, 
1995 and December 25, 1994 and the accompanying condensed consolidated 
statements of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 25, 1995 
and the five months ended June 26, 1994 represent that of the Successor Company 
which, in effect, is a new entity with assets, liabilities and a capital 
structure having carrying values not comparable with prior periods.  The 
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the one month ended January 
26, 1994 represents that of the Predecessor Company.

         On January 27, 1994 (the "Closing Date"), Apollo FRI Partners, L.P., 
Green Equity Investors, L.P. and Foodmaker, Inc. ("Foodmaker") acquired 
approximately 98% of the outstanding common stock of the Company (the 
"Acquisition").  The Acquisition involved several components, including the 
merger of Chi-Chi's with a subsidiary of the Company (the "Chi-Chi's Merger"), 
and related transactions.

         3. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE.  Loss per common share for the Successor 
Company is computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually 
outstanding. The impact of the "Foodmaker Warrant," which allows Foodmaker to 
acquire an additional 111,111 shares of common stock of the Company, and 
options has not been included since the impact would be antidilutive.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 
presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         As used herein, "comparable restaurants" means restaurants operated 
by the Company on January 1, 1994, which continued in operation through the 
end of the second quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

         A. LIQUIDITY

         The Company primarily relies on internally generated funds,
supplemented by working capital advances under its revolving credit facility
(the "Credit Facility"), for its liquidity.

         Operating Cash Flow.  During the first six months of 1995, the Company
reported EBITDA (defined as earnings (loss) before gain (loss) on disposition
of properties, interest, taxes, depreciation





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
and amortization) of $25.6 million.  If Chi-Chi's had been included for the one
month ended January 26, 1994, pro forma combined EBITDA for the first six
months of 1994 would have been reported as $48.5 million.  The Company has
included information concerning EBITDA herein because it understands that such
information is used by certain investors as one measure of an issuer's
historical ability to service debt.  EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income (loss) as an
indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities
as a measure of liquidity.  The Company continues to suffer from declining
sales in the Mexican Restaurant Division (as defined below).  On July 28, 1995,
the Company retained the firm of Jay Alix & Associates to implement such steps
as may be necessary in order to improve the Company's performance, focusing
specifically on the Mexican Restaurant Division, particularly its Chi-Chi's
restaurants.   Alternatives currently under consideration include divesting
certain unprofitable operations or divisions.  There can be no assurance,
however, that any such alternatives will be successfully implemented or that
the Company's cash flow will not continue to decline.
        
         Working Capital Deficiency.  The Company operates with a substantial
working capital deficiency because (i) restaurant operations are conducted
primarily on a cash (and cash equivalent) basis with a low level of accounts
receivable, (ii) rapid turnover allows a limited investment in inventories and
(iii) cash from sales is usually received before related accounts payable for
food, beverages and supplies become due.  The Company had a working capital
deficiency of $160.1 million on June 25, 1995 (excluding the impact of $85.3
million in loans payable to banks classified as a current liability as
discussed below).

         Credit Facility.  On the Closing Date, the Company, FRI-M Corporation,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of FRI-M
Corporation entered into the Credit Facility.  The outstanding balance of $85.3
million at June 25, 1995 is not due for payment until January 27, 1999. The 
Credit Facility contains various covenants including the maintenance of 
certain financial ratios.  The Company failed to meet all such required ratios 
in the second quarter of 1995.  As part of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit 
Facility, dated as of August 1, 1995 (the "Amendment"), the banks waived 
such noncompliance for the second and third quarters of 1995 and for the period
ending on October 31, 1995.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and since the waivers only extend to October 31, 1995 at this time,
the Company has classified the outstanding balance of $85.3 million at June 25, 
1995 as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance 
sheet.

         In accordance with the terms of the Amendment, the Company received a 
loan on August 1, 1995 in an amount sufficient to fund the $14.6 million 
interest payment on the 9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2002.  Subsequent to August 1, 
1995,






                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10
the total commitment under the Credit Facility was reduced to the
outstanding balance on the $14.6 million loan plus $125.1 million through
August 3, 1995, $126.6 million from August 4, 1995 through August 25, 1995 and
$125.1 million from August 26, 1995 through October 31, 1995.

        The banks have no obligation to make additional funds available under
the Credit Facility after October 31, 1995, and, thereafter, the Company's
liquidity will depend upon (i) cash flow from operations and (ii) the ability
of the Company to obtain financing under the Credit Facility or otherwise.  In
addition, the Amendment requires that the Company meet certain minimum cash
flow requirements through October 31, 1995.  There can be no assurances that
the Company will meet such requirements (or the other requirements in the
Credit Facility) or that if the Company does not maintain such requirements,
that further waivers or amendments will be obtained. 
        
        Pursuant to the Amendment, the net cash proceeds from any future 
dispositions of assets with net cash proceed greater than $500,000 will be
applied to first reduce the $14.6 million loan and thereafter to permanently
reduce the Credit Facility commitment.  Subsequent to August 1, 1995, the
Company completed two sale/leaseback transactions, the net proceeds of which
were used to reduce the $14.6 million loan to $7.2 million.  The Company is
currently exploring several additional sale/leaseback transactions and other
asset sales and financings in an effort to further pay down its outstanding
borrowings and permanently reduce the commitment under the Credit Facility. 
However, there can be no assurances that any such transactions will be
consummated.
        
        Borrowings in the amount of $86.8 million (including $7.2 million
outstanding on the $14.6 million loan) were outstanding under the Credit
Facility as of August 8, 1995.  Standby letters of credit are issued primarily
to provide security for future amounts payable by the Company under its
workers' compensation insurance program ($38.5 million of such letters of
credit were outstanding as of August 8, 1995).


         B. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

         As noted in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net 
cash used in investing activities was $25.9 million for the first six months of
1995 versus $192.6 million for the one month ended January 26, 1994 and $19.7
million for the five months ended June 26, 1994.  Included in investing
activities for 1994 is the acquisition of Chi-Chi's which represented $194.9
million and the partial conversion of certain Bob's Big Boy restaurants to the
Company's concepts which represented $2.6 million.

         The Company embarked in 1994 on a comprehensive capital investment 
program. The Company expected to spend an aggregate of






                                   - 10 -
<PAGE>   11
approximately $100 million to $130 million of discretionary funds under such
capital investment program, in addition to the annual capital expenditures of
approximately $16 million to $19 million devoted to normal maintenance of the
Company's restaurants.  Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company has
remodeled 106 family restaurants and 78 Mexican restaurants at an aggregate
cost of approximately $33.4 million.  Due to the deterioration in operating
cash flow as described above, the Company has suspended its remodel program for
all restaurants indefinitely.  In addition, expansion of the Family Restaurant
Division (as defined below) has been limited to 10 new restaurants for which
agreements have already been completed.  As reported last quarter, the Company
has no current plans to open new Mexican restaurants.  All other capital
projects are being tightly controlled until an improvement in operating cash
flow is realized.  The Amendment prohibits the Company from spending more than
$7.0 million on capital expenditures from July 1, 1995 to October 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Second Quarter of 1995 as compared to Second Quarter 1994

         The Company's total sales for the second quarter of 1995 decreased
3.2% ($9,484,000) as compared to total sales for the same period in 1994.  The
sales decrease was due to decreases in sales of comparable restaurants and
restaurants divested or closed.  These decreases were offset, in part, by sales
increases for 30 restaurants previously identified for divestment which are
included in the Company's operating results for 1995 but were not included in
the Company's operating results in 1994, the impact of additional sales of
certain Bob's Big Boy restaurants converted to Coco's and Carrows during 1994
and the additional sales of new restaurants opened during 1994 and 1995.  The
breakdown of the decrease in sales for the second quarter of 1995 is set forth
below:

(2)   Reflects increased sales for the Bob's Big Boy restaurants converted
      to Coco's or Carrows in 1994.

         Comparable restaurants as utilized in this calculation exclude
restaurants previously identified for divestment.  Sales for comparable
restaurants decreased 5.2% ($14,396,000) for the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  This comparable sales decrease reflects
decreases in both the Family Restaurant Division and Mexican Restaurant
Division, although the Family Restaurant Division reported improving comparable
sales each month during the second quarter.  The comparable sales decrease is
due to an increasingly competitive operating environment for restaurants and in
the case of the Family Restaurant Division, new California smoking legislation
effective on January 1, 1995.  The comparable sales decrease in the Mexican
Restaurant Division continues to be primarily due to the poor performance of
the Company's Chi-Chi's restaurants, which continue to suffer from declining
sales.  On July 28, 1995, the Company retained the firm of Jay Alix &
Associates to implement such steps as may be necessary in order to improve the
Company's performance, focusing specifically on the Mexican Restaurant
Division, particularly its Chi-Chi's restaurants.

         Product cost decreased by $70,000 in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  As a percentage of sales, product cost
increased from 28.0% in the second quarter of 1994 to 28.9% in 1995 due
primarily to higher food cost, especially in the area of produce costs.

         Payroll and related costs decreased by $298,000 or 0.3% in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  As a percentage of
sales, payroll and related costs increased from 35.6% in the second quarter of
1994 to 36.7% in 1995 due to the inclusion of 30 restaurants previously
identified for divestment which generally have weaker margins as a result of
lower sales volumes and the impact of declining comparable restaurant sales
which puts pressure on operating margins.  Increases in the minimum wage or
decreases in the allowable tip credit (which reduces the minimum wage that must
be paid to tipped employees) increase the Company's payroll cost.  The
Company's response to, and the impact of, any future legislation covering 
minimum wages would depend on the specific terms of any such legislation.

         Occupancy and other operating expenses increased by $4,930,000 or 7.4%
in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This
increase reflects the costs related to 30 restaurants previously identified for
divestment which were not included in the Company's operating results for 1994
and increased media spending.  As a percentage of sales, occupancy and other
operating expenses increased from 22.2% in the second quarter of 1994 to 24.6%
in 1995 due to the factors discussed with respect to payroll and related costs
and the impact of increased media spending.

         General and administrative expenses increased by $709,000 or 5.0% in
the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in foreign license fee income (which
is reported as an offset to general and administrative expenses), increased
training costs due to restaurant manager turnover in the Mexican Restaurant
Division and severance costs related to continuing staff reductions.  As a
percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 4.8% in
the second quarter of 1994 to 5.2% in 1995.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2,272,000 or
17.7% in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
This increase reflects the additional depreciation related to capital
expenditures made from the second quarter of 1994 through the second quarter of
1995 offset, in part, by a decrease in goodwill amortization due to the
write-off of Chi-Chi's goodwill as described in the December 25, 1994 Form
10-K.

         The Company reported a loss on disposition of properties of $1,174,000
in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to a small gain of $66,000 in the
same period in 1994.  The loss in 1995 is primarily due to the write-off of
costs associated with cancelled capital projects, both remodels and new
restaurant expansion.

         Interest expense, net increased by $1,556,000 or 11.4% in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase resulted
from interest on working capital borrowings on the revolving line of credit
which were outstanding throughout the quarter as compared to no working capital
borrowing during the second quarter of 1994.  The interest on working capital
borrowings was partially offset by the impact of other debt reductions.

First Six Months of 1995 as compared to First Six Months of 1994

         As a result of the impact of the Acquisition on the Company's capital
structure, the Company's adoption of fresh start reporting and the acquisition
of Chi-Chi's, the results of operations for the first six months of 1995 are
not comparable to those for the first six months of 1994 which includes five
months of the Successor Company's operations and one month of the Predecessor
Company's operations.  For certain key operating elements of the statement of
operations, however, the following analysis of a comparison of the Successor
Company's operations for the first six months of 1995 to the operations (five
months of the Successor Company plus one month of the Predecessor Company) for
the first six moths of 1994 is provided.  Because of the lack of comparability
of results for this time period, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense, net are not discussed.

         The Company's total sales for the six month period increased 3.1%
($17,328,000) as compared to total sales for the same period in 1994.  This
increase was due to sales from Chi-Chi's restaurants for January 1995 for which
there were no comparable sales in 1994 due to the timing of the Chi-Chi's
Merger on January 27, 1994, the impact of the Bob's Big Boy restaurant
conversions, the additional sales of the new restaurants opened during 1994 and
1995 and sales for 30 restaurants previously identified for divestment which
are included in the Company's operating results for 1995 but were not included
in the Company's operating results in 1994.  These sales increases were offset,
in part, by decreases related to restaurants divested or closed and a decrease
in sales of comparable restaurants for the six month period.  The breakdown of
the increase in sales for the first six months of 1995 is set forth below:

(1)   Reflects the Company's opening of nine new restaurants in 1994 and
      three new restaurants in 1995.  Sales of new Chi-Chi's restaurants are
      only included for February through June 1995.

(2)   Reflects increased sales for the Bob's Big Boy restaurants converted
      to Coco's or Carrows in 1994.

         Comparable restaurants as utilized in this calculation exclude
restaurants previously identified for divestment and Chi-Chi's operations for
January 1995.  Sales for comparable restaurants decreased 5.0% ($25,379,000)
for the first six months of 1995 as compared to 1994.  This comparable sales
decrease reflects decreases in both the Family Restaurant Division and Mexican
Restaurant Division.  The comparable sales decrease is due to an increasingly
competitive operating environment for restaurants, particularly effective
promotional activities during the first quarter of the prior year, and in the
case of the Family Restaurant Division, new California smoking legislation
effective on January 1, 1995.  The comparable sales decrease in the Mexican
Restaurant Division was primarily due to Chi-Chi's.

         Product cost increased by $7,170,000 or 4.6% in the first six months
of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase reflects
Chi-Chi's product cost for January 1995 for which there was no comparable cost
in 1994 due to the timing of the Chi-Chi's Merger on January 27, 1994.  As a
percentage of sales, product cost increased from 28.2% in the first six months
of 1994 to 28.6% in 1995.

         Payroll and related costs increased by $12,312,000 or 6.2% in the
first six months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase
reflects the impact of Chi-Chi's January 1995 costs as discussed previously and
costs related to 30 restaurants previously identified for divestment which were
not included in the Company's results for 1994 but are included in the
Company's operating results in 1995.  As a percentage of sales, payroll and
related costs increased from 36.1% in the first six months of 1994 to 37.1% in
1995 due to the inclusion of the 30 restaurants

previously identified for divestment which generally have poorer margins as a
result of lower sales volumes and the impact of declining comparable restaurant
sales which puts pressure on operating margins.

         Occupancy and other expenses increased by $16,220,000 or 13.1% in the
first six months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase
reflects the impact of the same factors affecting payroll and related costs
discussed above and increased media spending.  As a percentage of sales,
occupancy and other operating expenses increased from 22.3% in the first six
months of 1994 to 24.5% in 1995 due to the factor discussed with respect to
payroll and related costs and the impact of increased media spending.

         General and administrative expenses increased by $3,011,000 or 11.0%
in the first six months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994,
primarily due to the inclusion of Chi-Chi's general and administrative expenses
for January 1995, which were not included for the same period in 1994,
severance and related costs resulting from corporate staff reductions, a
reduction in foreign license fee income and increased training costs in the
Mexican Restaurant Division.  As a percentage of sales, general and
administrative expenses increased from 4.9% in the first six months of 1994 to
5.3% in 1995.

SELECTED DIVISION OPERATING DATA.
