FAST FOOD OPERATORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of June 30, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 25, 1995,
respectively.
2. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-
month periods ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
3. On October 9, 1995, the sale of eight New York City restaurants to
Wendnew, L.L.C. was closed in escrow and Wendnew took provisional operational
and financial control of the restaurants pending approval by the Company's
shareholders. The Company realized neither gain nor loss on such transaction
as the carrying value of the property, equipment and intangibles sold less the
book value of liabilities and deferred credits assumed by the purchaser had
been reduced to equal the consideration for the sale.
On December 20, 1995, the Company, Wendnew and the lessor of the Fulton
Street, Brooklyn (Wendton) restaurant agreed to terms for a ten-year extension
of such restaurant's lease. The Company was required to surrender its security
deposit of $10,000 and the accrued interest thereon in the amount of $11,760.
The Company was also required to pay $9,000 for a retroactive rent increase of
which $2,710 was charged to Wendnew for the period they were operating the
restaurant. The aggregate $28,050 cost to the Company of obtaining the lease
extension has been charged as a loss on the sale of the restaurants to
Wendnew. However, securing the lease extension removes a contingency loss to
the Company of approximately $430,913 representing the estimated forgiveness
of debt that would have been required if the lease were not extended for at
least three years beyond its scheduled April 30, 1997 expiration.
Approval of the sale by the Company's shareholders was obtained on
January 26, 1996. On such date the Company received the escrowed proceeds and
three installment payments on the $150,000 mortgage note. The Company agreed
to defer principal payments on the $750,000 term note until March 1, 1996.
The Company did receive payment of accrued interest on such note of
approximately $18,000. The Company also offered Wendnew a 5% (or $17,500)
discount on a $350,000 prepayment subject to Wendnew's obtaining financing
therefor. (See Notes 9 and 10).
4. On November 10, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of its Wendbridge
(New Jersey) restaurant. The Company received proceeds of $562,500 plus
certain closing adjustments. The Company realized neither gain nor loss on
such sale as the restaurant's Intangible Franchise Affiliation Value (IFAV)
had been written down to equate the carrying value of the property, equipment
and intangibles with the consideration therefor. From the sale proceeds the
Company paid a $.20 per share return of capital distribution aggregating
$442,880 on November 28, 1995.
5. On December 22, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of the Sayreville
restaurant, agreed to on December 12, 1995. The Company received gross
proceeds of $100,000 less certain minor closing adjustments and recorded a
gain of $73,524.

6. In January 1996, The Company obtained a lease termination agreement for
its Wendchester restaurant in the Bronx. Such termination agreement provided
for the Company to surrender possession of the premises no later than June 30,
1996, subject to acceleration of such date upon five days written notice from
the landlord. In addition, the monthly rent effective January 1, 1996 was
reduced from $7,833 to $6,000. The Company must also forfeit its $21,250
security deposit. The Company had previously written down this store's
property and equipment to $50,000. (See Note 8).
7. On January 26, 1996, the Company declared a $.30 per share return of
capital distribution aggregating $664,320 payable from the Wendnew proceeds to
shareholders of record as of February 12, 1996. The distribution was paid on
February 16, 1996.
8. On March 18, 1996, the Company closed the consistently unprofitable
Wendchester restaurant, its last owned operating location. The Company
sustained a loss of $85,825 thereon, consisting of the write-off of the
undepreciated improvements and non-salvageable equipment thereat in the amount
of $50,225, less salvage proceeds of $3,650; the forfeited security deposit
therefor of $21,250 and a newly agreed termination penalty of $18,000.
9. On February 21, 1996, Wendnew prepaid $350,000 of the note receivable
due the Company, less a $17,500 offered discount (See Notes 3 and 10).
10. Notes receivable including their current maturities as of June 30, 1996
consist of the following:

February 21, 1996.
(2) The Company also offered the purchaser a 5% discount on the prepayment
of the mortgage note. On April 8, 1996, Wendnew prepaid the balance of the
mortgage note, less the 5% prepayment discount, which amounted to $7,408. The
proceeds were $141,657, including interest of $905.

Item 2
- - ------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On January 26, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the sale to Wendnew,
L.L.C. of eight New York City restaurants. (See Note 3 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. Provisional operational and financial
control of such restaurants had been transferred on October 9, 1995 when the
sale was closed in escrow pending the stockholder vote.
On November 10 and December 22, 1995, the Company sold its Wendbridge and
Sayreville, New Jersey restaurants. (See Notes 4 and 5 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The above transactions left the Company with one operating restaurant, the
Wendchester location in the Bronx. In January 1996, the Company signed a
lease termination agreement, which provided for the surrender of the premises
on the earlier of June 30, 1996 or five days after written notice from the
landlord requesting such earlier surrender is received. The Company also
agreed to forfeit its $21,250 security deposit. On March 15, 1996, the
termination agreement was modified. Pursuant thereto on March 18, 1996, the
Company paid the landlord an additional $18,000, terminated the lease and
vacated the premises. (See Notes 6 and 8 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
The Company had also agreed to defer principal payments on the $750,000 note
due from Wendnew until March 1, 1996. The Company had also offered Wendnew a
5% discount on the prepayment of $350,000 of such note principal. Wendnew
sought and obtained financing to fund such prepayment and on February 21,
1996, paid the Company $332,500 of principal, net of the $17,500 discount.
The outstanding amount of such note principal is no longer subject to partial
forgiveness as the Company, Wendnew and the landlord of the Wendton restaurant
sold to Wendnew have agreed to a lease extension. (See Notes 3, 9 and 10 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company's remaining operations now consist of (i) managing Fast Food
Operators, Inc. ("FFO") in which it has a 33.65% equity interest; (ii)
overseeing the operations of Wendtwo Limited Partnership ("Wendtwo") in which
it has a 1% equity interest and (iii) collecting on its outstanding notes
receivable. The Company is not presently operating any restaurants for its
own account and has no plans to do so in the future.
As amended effective January 26, 1996, the management agreement with FFO
provides for an annual fee of $12,000 per managed restaurant subject to an
annual minimum of $108,000. As FFO presently owns and operates six
restaurants, the Company's future management fee income therefrom is expected
to remain constant at $27,000 per quarter. For the three and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1996, the Company's share of FFO's results of
operations was quarterly income of $20,945 and a year-to-date loss of $25,114.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, FFO paid a return of capital
distribution of $.025 per share; the Company accordingly received $75,000 of
such distribution, which was recorded as a reduction of the Company's equity
investment therein.
<PAGE>
11
The Company has subcontracted the day-to-day management of Wendtwo. Such
arrangement effectively reduces the Company's management fee therefrom to 1%
of Wendtwo's sales.
The Company no longer receives consulting income assigned by its President.
Such agreement terminated November 1, 1995.
The Company earned interest income of $37,635 for the 1996 quarter and
$146,276 for the 1996 nine months, principally on the notes receivable arising
from the sales of the restaurants. (See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements).
The Company incurred no income tax expense for any of the periods reported
herein.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital improved by $734,445 from a deficit of $518,030
at September 24, 1995 to a surplus of $216,415 at June 30, 1996 due
principally to the sale of ten restaurants for cash and receivables less the
payments on November 28, 1995 and February 16, 1996 of return of capital
distributions in the respective amounts of $442,880 and $664,320. The latter
distribution was facilitated by the receipt of escrowed receivables and
related monies of approximately $954,000 on January 26, 1996. The February
1996 distribution brought the total of such distributions paid during the
previous nine months to $1.00 per share or $2,214,400.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash balance
decreased by $94,947 from $150,945 to $55,998. Operating activities required
$1,208,486 of which $319,008 was attributable to restaurant and related
operations and $889,478 to net reductions in current payables. At June 30,
1996, current payables totaled $24,790.
Investing activities produced $2,220,739 principally from $2,190,146 of cash
proceeds from the restaurant sales and the collections of notes and escrow
receivables related thereto. Included in such collections was a $332,500
prepayment received on the Wendnew note, net of a $17,500 discount. On April
8, 1996, the Wendnew mortgage note was also prepaid, again net of a 5%
discount. From the latter prepayment, the Company received proceeds of
$141,657 including interest of $905. From such proceeds, the Company retired
its current payable to Wendtwo. Distributions from managed entities provided
$76,403 including $75,000 received from FFO. Investing outflows included
$18,000 to terminate the Wendchester lease and $27,810 for other individually
insignificant items.
Financing activities consisted of the two return of capital distributions
aggregating $1,107,200 as described in the third preceding paragraph.
