Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 23,  1996,  as  described  more fully in the related  press  release (see
Exhibit 99.1 ), the Registrant,  through FRD  Acquisition  Co. ("FRD"),  a newly
formed  subsidiary,  consummated  the  acquisition  of the  Coco's  and  Carrows
restaurant chains ("the Acquisition") from Family Restaurants, Inc. ("FRI"). The
acquisition  price of $306.0  million (which was paid in exchange for all of the
outstanding  stock of FRI-M Corporation  ("FRI-M"),  the subsidiary of FRI which
owned the Coco's and Carrows  chains) was financed  with $125.0  million in cash
($75.0  million of which was provided  pursuant to an equity  investment  by the
Registrant  and the  remaining  $50.0  million  pursuant to bank term loans from
Bankers Trust company,  Chemical Bank, and Citicorp USA, Inc.),  the issuance of
$150.0  million  in senior  notes to the seller  and the  assumption  of certain
capital  lease  obligations  of  approximately  $31.0  million and is subject to
adjustment.  The total  consideration  for the acquired assets was determined by
arm's length negotiations.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

      (a)  Financial statements of businesses acquired.

      The Registrant  hereby  incorporates in this Form 8-K the audited combined
      financial statements of FRI-M for the fiscal years ended December 25, 1994
      and  December  31,  1995 (see  Exhibit  99.2) and the  unaudited  combined
      financial  statements  of FRI-M for the quarters  ended March 26, 1995 and

                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
("Pro  Forma  Statements")  are  required  by the  rules of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are provided for information  purposes only. The
Pro Forma  Statements  should not be  considered  indicative of the results that
would have been or will be attained  since they are based on  historical  rather
than prospective information and include certain assumptions and estimates which
are subject to change.

The Pro Forma Statements  illustrate the effects of the transaction  between the
Registrant  and FRI,  whereby  the  Registrant  acquired  the Coco's and Carrows
restaurant chains from FRI, and are based on the historical financial statements
of the Registrant and of FRI-M, the subsidiary of FRI which owned the Coco's and
Carrows  chains,  as of and for the year ended  December  31, 1995 and the three
months  ended  March  31,  1996.  The  Pro  Forma  Statements  reflect  how  the
Registrant's  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet might have appeared if the
acquisition  had occurred on March 31, 1996 and how the  condensed  consolidated
statements  of  operations  for the year ended  December  31, 1995 and the three
months ended March 31, 1996 might have appeared if the  transaction had occurred
on January 1, 1995.

The Pro Forma  Statements are unaudited and should be read in  conjunction  with
the accompanying notes thereto and with the historical  financial statements and
related notes of the  Registrant and FRI-M.  The pro forma purchase  adjustments
are based on  assumptions  and estimates  made  specifically  for the purpose of
preparing these Pro Forma  Statements and are not necessarily  indicative of the
results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition  been  consummated
on the dates  indicated  or the  results  that may occur or be  obtained  in the
future.

The Registrant  will account for the  Acquisition  using the purchase  method of
accounting.  Accordingly,  the  Registrant's  cost  to  acquire  FRI-M  will  be
allocated to the assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  according to their
respective fair values.  The final  allocation of the purchase price,  including
the fair value of the senior notes,  is dependent  upon certain  valuations  and
other  studies  that have not  progressed  to a stage where there is  sufficient
information to make such an allocation in the accompanying Pro Forma Statements.
Accordingly,  the purchase  allocation  adjustments  made in connection with the
preparation  of the Pro  Forma  Statements  are  preliminary  and have been made
solely for the purpose of preparing  such Pro Forma  Statements.  The Registrant
anticipates  finalizing the preliminary  allocation by the end of 1996, and does
not anticipate the impact of the reallocation to be significant to the financial
statements.

                            Flagstar Companies, Inc.
       Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations


      (a) To reflect for the year ended December 31, 1995 and three months ended
      March  31,  1996  the  reversal  of   amortization   expense   related  to
      reorganization costs of FRI-M of $5,280,000 and $1,320,000,  respectively,
      and to reflect the  amortization  of the excess of the purchase price paid
      by  the  Registrant  over  the  net  assets  acquired  of  $5,449,000  and
      $1,363,000,  respectively.  The previous  reorganization  costs were being
      amortized over a 30 year period and the  acquisition  related  goodwill is
      being amortized over a 40 year period.  To also reflect for the year ended
      December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 the  reduction
      in corporate overhead charges previously  incurred by FRI-M of $10,111,000
      and $3,589,000,  respectively as well as the elimination of the management
      fee charged by FRI to FRI-M of $2,634,000 and $157,000, respectively. This
      reduction is somewhat offset by an estimated  increase in the Registrant's
      overhead expense of approximately .5% of FRI-M operating revenues. The net
      decrease in general and administrative  expenses reflects anticipated cost
      savings and  efficiencies  from combining the operations of the Registrant
      and FRI-M.

      (b) To reflect the  elimination of interest of $13,117,000  and $3,167,000
      for the year ended  December  31,  1995 and three  months  ended March 31,
      1996,   respectively,   on  FRI-M's  loan  payable  to  banks,   including
      amortization of deferred  financing  costs and to reflect  interest on (i)
      the  $150,000,000  of notes payable to FRI plus the  estimated  additional
      notes to be issued of $5,687,000 at an annual interest rate of 12.5%, (ii)
      the $56,000,000 term loan (including the current portion of $4,000,000) at
      an  annualized   interest  rate  of  8.5%,  (iii)  assumed  borrowings  of
      $5,000,000 on the revolving  portion of the Credit  Facility at an assumed
      annual  interest  rate of 8.5%  and  (iv)  use of the  $23,100,000  of the
      revolving  portion of the Credit  Facility to support letters of credit at
      an annual  interest rate of 3.0% and a commitment  fee of 0.5% annually on
      the  unused  portion  of the  revolving  portion  of the  Credit  Facility
      ($6,900,000).  The adjustment  also includes  amortization of the deferred
      financing   costs  incurred  in  connection  with  the  financing  of  the
      Acquisition and the accretion of interest on the discounted self insurance
      reserves.  The deferred  financing  costs of $3,900,000 in connection with
      the Credit Facility and $600,000 on the Notes are amortized over 39 months
      and 8 years, respectively.  Interest expense on self insurance reserves is
      $1,200,000  and  $300,000  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 and three
      months ended March 31, 1996 and is based on a "risk free" discount rate of
      approximately 6.5%.

      (c) The pro forma  adjustment  reflects the fact that the Registrant's net
      operating   losses  will  offset  FRI-M's   separate  tax  provision  when
      calculated on a consolidated  basis,  except for current foreign and state
      income taxes.
