FLAGSTAR COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1994
(Unaudited)


Note 1.  Introduction.

      Flagstar Companies, Inc. ("FCI" or, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is the parent holding company of Flagstar Corporation ("Flagstar"). 
Flagstar, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Denny's Holdings, Inc. and
Spartan Holdings, Inc. (and their respective subsidiaries), operates four
restaurant chains.

Note 2.  Interim Period Presentation.

      The Statements of Consolidated Operations of FCI and its subsidiaries
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, include all adjustments management believes are necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for such interim periods.  
All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Note 3.  Divestiture of Canteen Operations

      On April 27, 1994, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
agreement to sell the food and vending business and its intent to dispose of
the remaining concession and recreation services businesses of its
subsidiary, Canteen Holdings, Inc.  The Consolidated Balance Sheets and
Statements of Consolidated Operations and Cash Flows for 1993 periods have
been reclassified to reflect such businesses as discontinued operations.  The
Company sold its food and vending business for $450.0 million on June 17,
1994, recognizing a net gain of approximately $383.9 million in the second
quarter of 1994.  The Company is currently seeking buyers for its concession
and recreation services businesses.  Dispositions of such businesses are
expected to occur within 12 months of the announcement date and to result in
gains in the periods of disposal.       

      The Company has allocated to the discontinued segment a pro-rata
portion of its interest expense of $12.3 million and $11.0 million for the
quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and $24.6 million and
$22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 

Note 4.  Settlement of Class Actions

      On May 24, 1994, the company announced the settlement of two public
accommodations class actions, one filed against the Company and its Denny's
subsidiary on March 24, 1993 in the U. S. District Court for the Northern
District of California, and the second filed against it and Denny's on May
24, 1993 in the U. S. District Court for the District of Maryland.  Each such
action had alleged racially discriminatory practices and sought unspecified
actual, compensatory and punitive damages.  Monetary settlements in these two
actions totalled $46 million with an additional $8.7 million paid in
attorneys' fees to plaintiffs' counsel.  The settlement cost had no effect on
the Company's 1994 operating results as these costs were charged to
previously established reserves.  The Company simultaneously announced that
it had entered into extended and expanded consent decrees with the U. S.
Department of Justice and the private plaintiffs to prevent future
discrimination.  Terms of such consent decrees include retention of an
independent civil rights monitor and a training and testing program for
Denny's employees.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
            Results of Operations


      The following discussion is intended to highlight significant changes in
financial position as of June 30, 1994 and the results of operations for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the corresponding
1993 periods.

      The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the related
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, both of which are contained in the Flagstar Companies, Inc. 1993
Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1993

      Operating revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of
1994 increased by approximately $21.4  million (3.2%) as compared with the
same period in 1993.  Denny's revenues increased by $9.5 million (2.5%) due
to increased outside revenues of $13.0 million from its food distribution
operations offset in part by a reduction in restaurant revenues of $3.5
million.  At June 30, 1994 as compared with June 30, 1993, Denny's had a
33-unit decrease in the number of Company-owned units and a 77-unit increase
in the number of franchise- owned restaurants (resulting from a management
decision to expand Denny's franchise operations). Denny's average unit sales
were flat for the quarter as compared with the second quarter of 1993,
reflecting a 0.2% decrease in the average check, offset by a 0.2% increase in
customer traffic.  The increase in customer traffic during the second quarter
of 1994 is the result of the introduction of the $1.99 Original Grand Slam
Breakfast promotion despite a prior year comparison with the All-You-Can-Eat
breakfast promotion which significantly increased customer traffic during the
comparative period of 1993.  Hardee's experienced an increase in revenues for
the quarter of $3.7 million (2.1%) as compared to the prior year quarter
primarily due to a 39-unit increase in the number of restaurants.  Hardee's
experienced a 5.0% decrease in average unit sales resulting from a 7.1%
decrease in customer traffic offset in part by a 2.2% increase in the average
check.  The decline in customer traffic at Hardee's is attributable to an
emphasis on value promotions by competitors during the 1994 quarter. 
Quincy's revenues increased by $1.0 million (1.4%) as compared with the
second quarter of 1993, despite a 3-unit decrease in the number of Quincy's
restaurants at June 30, 1994 as compared with June 30, 1993. Average unit
sales increased by 3.1% as a result of a 5.9% increase in the average check
offset in part by a 2.7% decrease in customer traffic.  Revenues of El Pollo
Loco, which account for only 5.1% of total operating revenues from continuing
operations, increased by $7.2 million (26.1%) during the second quarter of
1994 over the same period in 1993 as a result of a 16-unit increase in
Company-owned restaurants and an increase in average unit sales of 12.8%. 
The increase in average unit sales at El Pollo Loco was the result of an
increase in customer traffic of 14.4% offset in part by a decrease in the
average check of 1.4%.  The number of franchised and international El Pollo
Loco restaurants decreased by 14-units at June 30, 1994 as compared with June
30, 1993.

      The Company's operating expenses from continuing operations increased by
$13.8 million (2.2%) in the second quarter of 1994 as compared with the same
period of 1993.  A significant portion ($9.5 million) of the increase in
operating expenses is attributable to Denny's.  The increase in operating
expenses at Denny's is attributable primarily to increased revenues and is
comprised principally of increases in payroll and benefits expense of $8.2
million and product costs of $5.4 million which were partially offset by
reduced depreciation and amortization charges of $5.7 million related to the
year-end 1993 write-off of assets.  Denny's operating expenses during the
quarter also reflect a gain of $0.4 million related to the sale of 6
Company-owned restaurants.  An increase in operating expenses of $4.0 million
at Hardee's is mainly attributable to increased revenues and consists of
increases in payroll and benefits expenses of $2.7 million, product costs of
$1.1 million, and utilities expense of $0.7 million.  Such increases were
partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization charges of $1.8
million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of assets.  A decrease in
operating expenses of $4.1 million at Quincy's is primarily attributable to a
3-unit decrease in the number of restaurants resulting in decreases in product
costs of $0.4 million, occupancy and maintenance expenses of $0.3 million, and
a $2.2 million reduction in depreciation and amortization charges related to
the year-end 1993 write-off of assets.  Corporate and other expenses decreased
by $0.6 million, primarily due to  decreases in payroll and benefits expense
of $1.0 million as a result of a reduction in work force as part of the
Company's plan of restructuring and a $0.5 million reduction in depreciation
and amortization charges related to the year- end 1993 write-off of assets.

      Interest and debt expense increased by $1.4 million in the second quarter
of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993, primarily due to an increase in
cash interest of $2.2 million.  This increase is attributable to the higher
fixed interest rates that accrued during the 1994 quarter on the $400.0 million
of senior notes and senior subordinated debentures issued during the third
quarter of 1993, the proceeds of which were used to refinance a portion of the
Company's bank facility that during the second quarter of 1993 accrued interest
at lower variable rates.  Such increases were offset in part by lower effective
interest rates resulting from interest rate swaps during the 1994 quarter in
comparison to the prior year quarter.  The increase in cash interest was also
offset in part by a reduction in non-cash interest expense of $0.8 million
resulting primarily from reduced amortization of deferred financing costs which
resulted from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated
with the prepayment of a portion of the Company's indebtedness under its bank
facility in September 1993.

      The Company's contract food and vending and recreation services
businesses, which are accounted for as discontinued operations, recorded
operating revenues of $351.4 million during the second quarter of 1994, an
increase of $6.5 million (1.9%) over the same period of 1993.  This increase in
revenues includes a $3.1 million (1.2%) increase in the food and vending
segment of Canteen primarily due to revenues from acquisitions consummated
during 1993.  Revenues from the concession and recreation services operations
increased by $3.4 million (4.2%) to $83.5 million during the second quarter of
1994 as compared to the same period of 1993.  Operating expenses for Canteen's
contract food and vending and recreation services businesses increased by $6.8
million primarily due to increases in product costs of $2.7 million and payroll
and benefits expense of $6.6 million, respectively. 

      During the second quarter of 1994, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss totalling $11.9 million, net of income tax benefits of $1.1
million.  The extraordinary loss represents the charge-off of unamortized
deferred financing costs associated with the prepayment in June 1994 of senior
bank debt.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1993

      Operating revenues from continuing operations for the first six months
of 1994 increased by approximately $54.9 million (4.4%) as compared with the
same period in 1993.  Denny's revenues increased $27.4 million (3.8%) due to
increased outside revenues of $29.3 million from its food distribution
operations offset in part by a reduction of restaurant revenues of $1.9
million.  At June 30, 1994 as compared with June 30, 1993, the Company had a
33-unit decrease in the number of Company owned units and a 77-unit increase
in the number of franchise-owned restaurants (resulting from a management
decision to expand Denny's franchise operations).  Denny's average unit sales
were flat during the six month period as compared with the first six months of
1993, reflecting a decrease in customer traffic of 3.2% offset by a 3.3%
increase in average check.  Management believes that the negative trends in
customer traffic which Denny's experienced during the first quarter of 1994
began to reverse during the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
company-wide $1.99 Original Grand Slam Breakfast promotion.  Hardee's
experienced an increase in revenues of $13.5 million for the first six months
of 1994 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a 39-unit
increase in the number of restaurants.  Hardee's experienced a 3.0% decrease
in average unit sales resulting from a 5.1% decrease in customer traffic
mitigated in part by a 2.2% increase in the average check.  The decline in
customer traffic at Hardee's is attributable to an emphasis on value
promotions by competitors during the six month period of 1994.  Quincy's
revenues increased by $0.9 million (0.7%) as compared with the first six
months of 1993, primarily due to a 2.6% increase in average unit sales and
despite a 3-unit decrease in the number of units.  The increase in average
unit sales resulted from a 5.8% increase in the average check offset in part
by a 3.0% decrease in customer traffic.  Revenues at El Pollo Loco, which
account for only 5.1% of total operating revenues, increased by $13.0 million
(24.6%) during the first six months of 1994 over the same period in 1993
partially as a result of a 16-unit increase in the number of Company-owned
restaurants and an increase in average unit sales of 10.0%.  The increase in
average unit sales at El Pollo Loco reflects a 10.7% increase in customer
traffic offset in part by a 0.6% decrease in the average check. The number of
franchised and international restaurants at El Pollo Loco decreased by
14-units at June 30, 1994 as compared with June 30, 1993.  

      The Company's overall operating expenses increased by $35.6 million
(3.0%) in the first six months of 1994 as compared with the same period of
1993.  A significant portion of the increase ($22.7 million) is attributable
to  Denny's. The increase in operating expenses at Denny's is attributable
primarily to increased revenues and is comprised principally of increases in
product costs of $22.3 million and in payroll and benefits expenses of $14.1
million.  Such increases were partially offset by an $11.4 million reduction
in depreciation and amortization related to the year-end 1993 write-off of
assets.  In addition, Denny's operating expenses for the first six months of
1994 reflect a gain of approximately $3.9 million related to the sale of 19
Company-owned restaurants.  At Hardee's, an increase in operating expenses of
$11.5 million is mainly attributable to increased revenues and reflects
increases in payroll and benefits expenses of $6.6 million, product costs of
$4.8 million, and  utilities expense of $1.4 million.  Such increases were
partially offset by  reduced depreciation and amortization charges of $3.6
million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of assets.  Conversely, a
decrease in operating expenses of $7.4 million at Quincy's is principally
attributable to decreases in product cost of $1.0 million and reduced
depreciation and amortization charges of $4.4 million related to the year-end
1993 write-off of assets.   Corporate and other expenses increased by a $0.3
million, and reflect reduced depreciation and amortization charges of $0.9
million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of assets.

      Interest and debt expense increased by $3.0 million in the first six
months of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993, primarily due to an
increase in cash interest of $4.1 million.  This increase is attributable to
the higher fixed interest rates that accrued during the 1994 period on the
$400 million of senior notes and senior subordinated debentures issued during
the third quarter of 1993, the proceeds of which were used to refinance a
portion of the Company's bank facility that during the first six months of
1994 accrued interest at lower variable rates.  Such increases were offset in
part by lower effective interest rates resulting from interest rate swaps
during the 1994 period in comparison to the prior year period.  The increase
in cash interest was also offset in part by a reduction in non-cash interest
expense of $1.1 million resulting primarily from reduced amortization of
deferred financing costs.  This reduction relates to the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the prepayment of a
portion of the Company's indebtedness under its bank facility in September
1993.

      The Company's contract food and vending and recreation services
businesses, which are accounted for as discontinued operations, recorded
operating revenues of $665.4 million during the first six months of 1994, an
increase of $34.3 million (5.4%) over the same period of 1993.  This increase
in revenues includes a $26.6 million (5.2%) increase in the food and vending
segment of Canteen primarily due to revenues from acquisitions consummated
during 1993.  Revenues from the concession and recreation services operations
increased by $7.8 million (6.3%) to $131.0 million during the first six months
of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993.  Operating expenses for
Canteen's contract food and vending and recreation services businesses
increased by $33.4 million primarily due to increases in product costs of $14.2
million, payroll and benefits expenses of $17.5 million, and commissions and
royalties expense of $5.4 million, respectively.  

      For the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss totalling $11.9 million, net of income tax benefits of $1.1
million.  The extraordinary loss represents the charge-off of unamortized
deferred financing costs associated with the prepayment in June 1994 of senior
bank debt.  The extraordinary loss reflected in the six month period ended
June 30, 1993 represents premiums paid, costs incurred, and the charge-off of
unamortized deferred financing costs on indebtedness retired during the first
quarter of 1993.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

      At June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had working capital
deficits of $87.4 million and $169.8 million, respectively.  The decrease in
the working capital deficit is attributable primarily to an increase in cash
and cash equivalents from the sale of the Company's food and vending subsidiary
and the liquidation of certain liabilities during the quarter.  On June 17,
1994, the Company sold its food and vending subsidiary for $450.0 million, the
proceeds of which were used to pay off the $170.7 million principal amount of
the Company's term loan and an additional $126.5 million of working capital
advances which were outstanding under the Company's credit facility.  As a
result, assets held for sale were reduced by $41.5 million to reflect the sale
of such subsidiary.  The decrease in other accrued liabilities reflects the
payment of $48.4 million during the second quarter of 1994 in settlement of
claims of racial discrimination by Denny's, as further discussed at Part II,
Item I "Legal Proceedings".  The decrease of $11.3 million in the accrued
liability for restructuring from December 31, 1993 to June 30, 1994 is
primarily due to payments for severance and relocation.  The Company is able to
operate with a substantial working capital deficiency because (i) restaurant
operations and most other food service 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) accounts
payable for food, beverages and supplies usually become due after the receipt
of cash from the related sales.

      In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company approved a restructuring plan
which included a restructuring of the restaurant field management and a
downsizing of the work force at the corporate office.  Most of the corporate
office downsizing was accomplished near the end of the first quarter and the
changes in field management structures and personnel are in process.  Also as
part of the restructuring plan, the Company identified approximately 240
restaurant units to be sold to franchisees, closed or converted to another
concept.  At June 30, 1994, twenty-one units had been sold, converted to
another concept, or closed, with the majority of the remaining units expected
to be sold to franchisees.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION      


Item 1.           Legal Proceedings.

      
             On May 24, 1994, the Company announced the settlement of two
             public accommodations class actions, one filed against the
             Company and its Denny's subsidiary on March 24, 1993 in the 
             U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California,
             and the second filed against it and Denny's on May 24, 1993 in
             the U. S. District Court for the District of Maryland.  Each
             such action had alleged racially discriminatory practices and
             sought unspecified actual, compensatory and punitive damages. 
             Monetary settlements in these two actions totalled $46 million
             with an additional $8.7 million paid in attorneys' fees to
             plaintiffs' counsel.  The Company simultaneously announced
             that it had entered into extended and expanded consent decrees
             with the U. S. Department of Justice and the private
             plaintiffs to prevent future discrimination.  Terms of such
             consent decrees include retention of an independent civil
             rights monitor and a training and testing program for Denny's
             employees.

             On June 15, 1994, a derivative action was filed in the Alameda
             County Superior Court for the State of California by Mr. Adam
             Lazar, purporting to act on behalf of the Company, against the
             Company's directors and certain of its officers alleging
             breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by the
             defendants relating to alleged acts of mismanagement or the
             alleged failure to act with due care, resulting in policies
             and practices at Denny's that allegedly gave rise to the
             public accommodations lawsuits referred to above.  The action
             seeks unspecified damages against the defendants on behalf of
             the Company and its stockholders, including punitive damages,
             and injunctive relief.  There has been no substantive
             discovery in this action to date.
