                            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 March 26, 
1995, the Company operated 688 restaurants in 33 states, with approximately 
53% of its restaurants located in California.  The Company is the licensor of 
232 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 21 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 ended March
26, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year.

         The Predecessor Company commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case 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.

         The accumulated deficit of the Predecessor Company was eliminated as 
required by fresh start reporting; additionally, the





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
statement of operations for the one month ended January 26, 1994 reflects the
effects of the forgiveness 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 March 26,
1995 and December 25, 1994 and the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the quarter ended March 26, 1995 and the two
months ended March 27, 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 first quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

         A. LIQUIDITY

         The Company relies primarily on internally generated funds, 
supplemented by working capital advances under a $150.0 million, five-year 
fully revolving credit facility with a $100.0 million sublimit for standby 
letters of credit (the "Credit Facility"), for its liquidity.  Management 
believes that funds available from these sources will be sufficient to meet 
the Company's working capital, debt service and capital expenditure 
requirements for the foreseeable future.





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8
         Operating Cash Flow.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company 
reported EBITDA (defined as earnings (loss) before gain (loss) on disposition of
properties, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $12.0 million.
If Chi-Chi's had been included for the one month ended January 26, 1994, pro
forma combined EBITDA for the first quarter of 1994 would have been reported as
$20.3 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.

         Working Capital Deficiency.  The Company can operate 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 $144.2 million on March 26, 1995.

         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 entire outstanding balance
of $88.5 million at March 26, 1995 has been classified as long-term debt in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet since the borrowings are not
due for payment until January 27, 1999, and there are no current plans to pay
down the outstanding balance.  Borrowings in the amount of $88.0 million were
outstanding under the Credit Facility as of May 9, 1995.  Standby letters of
credit are issued primarily to provide security for future amounts payable by
the Company under its workers' compensation insurance program ($40.2 million of
such letters of credit were outstanding as of May 9, 1995).

         B. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

         As noted in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net 
cash used in investing activities was $15.0 million for the first quarter of 
1995 versus $192.6 million for the one month ended January 26, 1994 and $4.6 
million for the two months ended March 27, 1994.  Included in investing 
activities for 1994 is the acquisition of Chi-Chi's which represented $194.9 
million and the conversion of certain Bob's Big Boy restaurants to the
Company's concepts which represented $1.2 million.

         The Company embarked in 1994 on a comprehensive capital investment
program.  The Company expected to spend an aggregate of approximately $100
million to $130 million of discretionary funds under





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
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 91 family restaurants and 76 Mexican restaurants at an
aggregate cost of approximately $30.1 million.  Subject to changes in market
conditions, the Company currently plans on completing its capital reinvestment
program in the Family Restaurant Division (as defined below) by the end of
1996.  In addition, the Company plans to add 15 to 20 new family restaurants in
1995.  However, as a result of the continuing decline in Mexican Restaurant
Division (as defined below) sales, the Company has sharply curtailed its
remodel program for all restaurants for the remainder of 1995 and has no
current plans to open new Mexican restaurants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         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 quarter of 1995 are not
comparable to those for the first quarter of 1994 which includes two 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 quarter of 1995 to the operations (two months of the
Successor Company plus one month of the Predecessor Company) for the first
quarter of 1994 is provided.  Because of the lack of comparability of results,
depreciation and amortization and interest expense, net are not discussed.

         The Company's total sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased
10.5% ($26,812,000) 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, sales for 32 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.  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 first quarter.  The breakdown of the increase 
in sales for the first quarter of 1995 is set forth below:

(1)      Reflects the Company's opening of nine new restaurants in 1994 and one
         new restaurant in 1995.  Sales of new Chi-Chi's restaurants are only
         included for February and March 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 4.7% ($10,983,000)
for the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This
comparable sales decrease reflects decreases in both the Family Restaurant
Division and the Mexican Restaurant Division.  The comparable sales decrease
is due to an increasingly competitive operating environment for restaurants,
particularly effective promotional activities during the comparable period in
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 entirely due to Chi-Chi's.

         Product cost increased by $7,240,000 or 10.0% in the first quarter 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 decreased from 28.4% in the first quarter of 1994 to
28.2% in 1995.

         Payroll and related costs increased by $12,610,000 or 13.5% in the
first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase
reflects the impact of Chi-Chi's January 1995 costs as discussed above and
costs related to 32 restaurants previously identified for divestment which were
not included in the Company's results for 1994 but are included in the
Company's operating





                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11
results in 1995.  As a percentage of sales, payroll and related costs increased
from 36.6% in the first quarter of 1994 to 37.6% in the first quarter of 1995
due to the inclusion of the 32 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 operating expenses increased by $11,290,000 or
19.7% in the first quarter 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.  As a percentage of sales, occupancy and other
operating expenses increased from 22.5% in the first quarter of 1994 to 24.4%
in the first quarter of 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 17.6% ($2,302,000) in
the first quarter 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, and severance and
related costs of approximately $603,000 resulting from a corporate staff
reduction of 45 employees in the first quarter of 1995.  As a percentage of
sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 5.2% in the first
quarter of 1994 to 5.5% in the same period of 1995.

SELECTED DIVISION OPERATING DATA.

         The Company operates restaurant chains serving two principal market
segments:  full-service family restaurants (the "Family Restaurant Division")
and full-service Mexican restaurants (the "Mexican Restaurant Division").  At
March 26, 1995, the Company's Family Restaurant Division included 347
moderately-priced family-oriented restaurants operated primarily under the
Carrows and Coco's names, and the Company's Mexican Restaurant Division
operated 315 full-service restaurants primarily under the El Torito, Chi-Chi's
and Casa Gallardo names.  The Company also operated 26 additional restaurants
under other formats.

         The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
Company, the Family Restaurant Division and the Mexican Restaurant Division.
The table includes information with respect to total operations of the Company,
the Family Restaurant Division and the Mexican Restaurant Division (1994
information excludes restaurants previously identified for divestment).
Chi-Chi's data has been included in the Mexican Restaurant Division on a pro
forma basis as if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal
1994.

     unallocated corporate overhead, interest, taxes, depreciation and
     amortization.

(b)  EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before gain (loss) on disposition
     of properties, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The

     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.
