NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-Q.  As a result, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.

The Company, in management's opinion, has included all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations.  Certain reclassifications
have been made in the consolidated condensed financial statements to
conform to the 1995 presentation.

Operating results for the twelve and forty week periods ended August 6,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for all or any balance of the fiscal year ending October 29, 1995.


NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND RESTRUCTURING

On January 16, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors announced a
reorganization designed to improve the performance and growth of the
Shoney's Restaurant concept.  The reorganization included the
divestiture of certain non-core lines of business including Lee's Famous
Recipe, Pargo's and Fifth Quarter restaurants, as well as Mike Rose
Foods, Inc., a private label manufacturer of food products.

On July 28, 1995, the Company announced a change in its divestiture
plans which calls for the Company to retain its Fifth Quarter and
Pargo's restaurants.  These two restaurant concepts will be combined
with BarbWire's Steakhouses to form a thirty-two unit casual dining
group with shared management and administrative support services to
achieve improved operating and supervisory efficiencies.

On July 10, 1995, the Company and RTM Restaurant Group announced they
had entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement whereby RTM will
purchase the assets of Lee's Famous Recipe.  On August 3, 1995, the
Company and Levmark Capital Corporation announced they had entered into
a definitive purchase agreement for Levmark to acquire Mike Rose Foods,
Inc.  The Company expects the Lee's Famous Recipe and Mike Rose Foods,
Inc.  sales to be completed by the end of fiscal 1995.  Both the Lee's
and Mike Rose Foods agreements are subject to usual and customary
conditions for such sales.  

For the quarter ended August 6, 1995, the discontinued businesses
represented 6.7% of consolidated net property, plant and equipment, 7.9%
of consolidated revenues, and 14.4% of consolidated earnings before
interest and taxes.  The Company expects that these discontinued lines
of business will be disposed of for amounts in excess of their carrying
values.  Certain one-time charges associated with the reorganization
will be accrued as they are incurred. However, the Company expects the
net result of the divestitures and the restructuring will be a gain once
the sales are consummated.


                                 -6-
<PAGE>
Severance pay of $1.5 million was included in restructuring expenses for
the forty weeks ended August 6, 1995.  There were no comparable expenses
in the first three quarters of 1994.

For financial reporting purposes, the results of operations of the lines
of business to be  divested have been treated as discontinued operations
in the accompanying financial statements and are presented net of any
related income tax expense.  Prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to this method of presentation.  Pargo's and
Fifth Quarter restaurants were included in the results of discontinued
operations in the first and second quarters of 1995, but have been
reclassified to continuing operations following the Company's decision
to retain these businesses during the third quarter.  Accordingly, the
results of continuing and discontinued operations for the third quarter
and for the forty weeks ended August 6, 1995 are not comparable to
previously reported operating results for the first and second quarter
of 1995.


NOTE 3 - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" through a cumulative effect adjustment
resulting in an increase to net income of approximately $4.5 million or
$.10 per share (fully diluted).  Statement No. 109 changes the Company's
method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the
liability method.  The liability method requires the recognition of
deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases and
financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (see Note 5).

Effective November 1, 1993, the Company also adopted FASB Statement No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". 
This Statement requires that debt and equity securities be carried at
fair value unless the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold debt securities to maturity. Debt and equity securities must be
classified into one of three categories:  1) held-to maturity, 2)
available-for-sale or 3) trading securities.  Each category has
different accounting treatment for the change in fair values.  There was
no cumulative effect from the adoption of Statement No. 115, since at
the time of adoption, the Company held no investments in debt or equity
securities.


NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during each period presented.  Common stock equivalents
include all dilutive outstanding stock options.  For the third quarter
and first three quarters of 1994, fully diluted earnings per share also
includes the assumed conversion of the zero coupon subordinated
convertible debentures. This calculation adjusts earnings for interest
that would not be paid if the debentures were converted.  The primary
and fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and first
three quarters of 1995 were computed using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period.  No consideration was given to the convertible
debentures for either the third quarter or the first three quarters of
1995 since they were not considered dilutive.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for the twelve and forty week periods ended August 6, 1995
and August 7, 1994 were provided based on the Company's estimate of its
effective tax rates (38.0% and 37.5%, respectively) for the entire
respective fiscal years.  The Company's estimate of its effective tax
rate for the 1995 fiscal year increased from 1994 due primarily to the
expiration of the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit in December 1994. The
statutory federal income tax rate was 35% for both periods presented. 

Effective November 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method as
required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (see
Note 3).  As permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial
statements were not restated.  The cumulative effect of adoption of the
Statement increased deferred tax assets and net income by $4.5 million
or $.10 per common share. This amount was reflected in the first quarter
of fiscal 1994 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for
income taxes.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes.  Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets
and liabilities as of October 30, 1994 were as follows: 

<TABLE>

     <S>                                        <C>
     Deferred tax assets:
         Reserve for lawsuit settlement         $  31,420,209

     Deferred tax liability                        42,813,179
                                                   ----------

                                                   ==========

</TABLE>

No valuation allowance is considered necessary, as management believes
that the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized.  Management's
conclusion is based, in part, on future taxable income that will result
from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences.
Additionally, management expects to have future taxable income from
operations, excluding the reversal of temporary differences.


NOTE 6 - SENIOR DEBT

In July 1993, the Company entered into a $125 million reducing revolving
credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions.  The facility 
had a four year, three month term expiring October 22, 1997, with reductions 
in the aggregate credit facility beginning in 1995.  With the exception of 
approximately $104 million of property available to collateralize future 
financing activities of the Company, all material assets of the Company not
otherwise pledged (including all common shares of a wholly-owned real estate 


                                 -8-
<PAGE>
company which owns 183 of the Company's restaurant properties) have been
pledged as collateral for the facility.  The interest rate for this
facility was at floating rates (the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 2%).

During the third quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company and the financial
institutions amended this credit facility to allow the Company to redeem
its 12% subordinated debentures issued in the Company's 1988
recapitalization.  The credit facility was increased to a maximum of
$270 million, the interest rate remained at LIBOR plus 2% and the
maturity was extended to October 1999.  The Company redeemed the $145.7
million of 12% subordinated debentures at par on July 2, 1994.  At
August 6, 1995, the Company had borrowed $245 million under this
facility and the interest rate was 8.0%.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received a
modification of its lending agreements which permits the divestiture of
Mike Rose Foods, Inc. and Lee's Famous Recipe.  The modification
requires that 35% of the net proceeds received from the divestiture of
these businesses be used to permanently reduce the credit facility.  In
addition, approximately $51 million of properties that previously served
as collateral for the Company's Tranche C debt were substituted for
collateral to be released upon the sale of Mike Rose Foods, Inc. and
Lee's Famous Recipe.  The lenders also agreed to release a negative
pledge they held on approximately $104 million of collateral previously
used to secure the Company's Tranche C debt to permit alternative uses
by the Company.  

The Company's senior debt requires satisfaction of certain financial
ratios and tests; imposes limitations on capital expenditures; limits
the ability to incur additional debt, leasehold obligations and
contingent liabilities; prohibits dividends and distributions on common
stock; prohibits mergers, consolidations or similar transactions; and
includes other affirmative and negative covenants.


NOTE 7 - RESERVE FOR LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

On January 25, 1993, the Company received final court approval of a
settlement of a three and one-half year old class action race
discrimination lawsuit against the Company and its former senior
chairman.  Under the terms of the settlement, the Company has agreed to
pay $105 million in claims.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay
$25.5 million in plaintiffs' attorneys fees and an estimated $4 million
in applicable payroll taxes and administrative costs.  Under the terms
of the consent decree, payments are made quarterly and substantially all
payments will be completed by March 1, 1998.

During 1994, the Company obtained an IRS private letter ruling which
clarified that certain portions of the settlement payments were not
subject to federal payroll taxes that had been previously accrued by the
Company.  The reserve for litigation settlement was reduced by $1.7
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 to adjust for this change
in estimate for accrued payroll taxes due on the settlement.


NOTE 8 - LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in a federal court suit filed on December 19,
1994 by one of its Captain D's franchisees who claims that the Company
imposes a "tying" arrangement by requiring franchisees to purchase food
products from the Company's commissary.  The complaint seeks damages for
an alleged class of similarly situated plaintiffs in an amount not to exceed
$500 million and treble damages.  The same plaintiff has also filed a state
court suit making essentially the same claims; however, in that suit, 


                                 -9-
<PAGE>
the plaintiff did not make a class action claim.  On December 16, 1994
counsel for the plaintiff advised the Company that the federal court
case described above would be filed unless the Company settled the
pending state court case by purchasing the plaintiff's franchised
Captain D's restaurant for $1.65 million, plus assumption of certain
equipment leases.  The Company rejected the demand and the federal court
lawsuit was filed.  The federal complaint has been amended to add one
additional plaintiff, a former franchisee, and to add an additional
consumer protection act claim.  

The Company also is a defendant in a federal court suit filed on
December 30, 1994 by two plaintiffs who are franchisees of six Shoney's
Restaurants.  The complaint alleges that the Company imposes a "tying"
arrangement by requiring Shoney's Restaurant franchisees to purchase
their food products from the Company's commissary by not providing
product specifications in order to select alternative vendors.  They
further allege that the Company has engaged in fraud, breach of
contract, and violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act
regarding the establishment and operation of the Shoney's Restaurant
cooperative advertising program.  One of the plaintiffs also
individually asserts a breach of contract claim regarding a franchise
territory transfer.  The complaint does not specify the amount of
damages sought; however, the plaintiffs seek treble damages for both
their anti-trust claims and Tennessee Consumer Protection Act claims. 
They also seek punitive damages on their fraud claim.

The plaintiffs in each of these federal court suits purport to act on
behalf of similarly situated classes of plaintiffs.  In the first case
mentioned, the plaintiffs now have filed a motion to certify the case as
a class action.  There has been no motion filed to certify the second
case as a class action.  Neither of the cases has yet been certified as
a class action.  

Management believes it has substantial defenses to the claims made in
each of these cases and intends to vigorously defend both cases.  In the
opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to either
case will not materially affect the operating results or the financial
position of the Company.

The Company is a party to other legal proceedings incidental to its
business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with
respect to these actions will not materially affect the operating
results or the financial position of the Company.


NOTE 9 - SALE OF SHONEY'S LODGING, INC. AND RELATED INVESTMENTS

Effective February 16, 1994, the Company sold its minority ownership
interests in four Shoney's Inns to ShoLodge, Inc. ("ShoLodge") in
exchange for 90,909 common shares of ShoLodge.  The shares received were
recorded at their fair value on the date of the transaction of
approximately $2.4 million resulting in a gain of $1.7 million in the
quarter ended February 20, 1994.  The ShoLodge common shares were
classified as trading securities under FASB Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (see
Note 3).  The change in fair value of the ShoLodge common shares
subsequent to the transaction is reflected in the results of operations.

The Company also owns certain warrants to acquire ShoLodge common stock 
which were obtained in the 1992 sale of the Company's lodging division to 
ShoLodge.  In connection with the sale of the Company's minority motel 
interests described in the preceding paragraph, the Company received future 
registration rights with respect to the shares that may be acquired upon 
exercise of the warrants.  Under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 115, 
certain of these warrants were classified as trading securities during the 
first two quarters of both 1994 and 1995 and adjusted to their fair value. 
The resulting gains 


                                 -10-
<PAGE>
of approximately $1.1 million and $.6 million in the first and second 
quarters of 1994, respectively, and gains of approximately $.9 million 
and $.2 million in the first and second quarters of 1995, respectively, 
are reflected in the results of operations.

Once classified as a trading security, the warrants are carried at fair
value with increases and decreases in fair value reflected in the
results of operations.  The fair value of the ShoLodge warrants and the
ShoLodge common stock held by the Company declined by approximately
$81,000 during the first quarter and by approximately $2.5 million
during the second quarter of 1995.  In the third quarter of 1995, the
fair value of the ShoLodge warrants and the ShoLodge common stock held
by the Company increased by approximately $100,000.  The fair value of
the ShoLodge common stock and the ShoLodge warrants classified as
trading securities was $3.4  million at August 6, 1995.


NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 5, 1995, the Company and TPI Enterprises, Inc. announced
the signing of a letter of intent to merge TPI Enterprises, Inc. with a
subsidiary of Shoney's, Inc.  TPI Enterprises is the Company's largest
franchisee and operates 188 Shoney's and 69 Captain D's Seafood
restaurants.  The letter of intent indicates that the Company will merge
with TPI through an exchange of .28 shares of its stock for each
outstanding share of TPI and one Shoney's warrant for each 3.125 shares
of TPI.  The Shoney's warrant will be exercisable within five years and
will permit the holder to acquire one share of Shoney's common stock at
$21.50 per share.  In addition, TPI shareholders will have the right to
receive contingent shares of Shoney's common stock that will permit TPI
shareholders to receive, on a pro rata basis, any net cash proceeds
resulting from the ultimate settlement of TPI's ongoing litigation,
through its Maxcell Telecom Plus, Inc. subsidiary, against McCaw
Cellular Communications, Inc.  The contingent shares are limited to a
maximum of the aggregate shares issued pursuant to the .28 exchange
ratio for TPI's outstanding shares.  In addition, Shoney's will assume
approximately $95 million of net debt from TPI.  

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
the execution of a definitive merger agreement, approval by the
shareholders and lenders of both companies, and clearance by
governmental regulatory authorities.

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

        The following discussion and analysis provides information
which management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of the Company's consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.  The discussion should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated condensed financial statements and notes
thereto.  The third quarter and first three quarters of both fiscal
1995 and 1994 covered periods of twelve and forty weeks, respectively.

        On January 16, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors announced 
a reorganization designed to improve the performance and growth of the 
Shoney's Restaurant concept.  The reorganization included the planned 
divestitures of certain non-core lines of business including Lee's 
Famous Recipe, Pargo's and Fifth Quarter restaurants, as well as Mike 
Rose Foods, Inc., a private label manufacturer of food products.  On 
July 28, 1995, the Company announced it had decided to retain its Pargo's
and Fifth Quarter restaurants and combine them with the Company's 
BarbWire's Steakhouse restaurants to form a thirty-two unit casual dining 
group.  The Company plans to combine the corporate management and 
administrative support functions for the three casual dining concepts to 
achieve greater operational efficiencies.  The Company signed definitive
agreements for the sales of Mike Rose Foods, Inc. and the Lee's Famous
Recipe division during the third quarter of 1995 and both sales are
expected to close before the end of the fiscal year.

        For financial reporting purposes, the results of operations of the 
lines of business to be divested have been treated as discontinued 
operations in the accompanying financial statements and are presented net 
of related income tax expense.  Prior year financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to this method of presentation.  During the first 
and second quarters, Pargo's and Fifth Quarter operating results had been 
included in discontinued operations.  However, for the third quarter, 
their results have been reclassified to continuing operations following 
the July 1995 decision to retain these two restaurant concepts.  
Accordingly, results of continuing and discontinued operations for the 
first two quarters of fiscal 1995 are not comparable with the third quarter
and first three quarters of 1995. 

        For the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the discontinued lines of 
business represented 6.7% of consolidated net property, plant and equipment,
7.9% of consolidated revenues and 14.4% of consolidated earnings before 
interest and taxes if the Company had not adopted the discontinued 
operations accounting treatment.  The Company expects that these 
discontinued lines of business will be disposed of for amounts in excess 
of their carrying values.  Certain one-time charges associated with the 
reorganization will be accrued as they are incurred.  However, the Company 
expects the net result of the divestitures and the restructuring will be a 
gain once the sales of these lines of business are consummated.

        In connection with the reorganization, the Company has obtained 
modifications to certain of its credit agreements that permit the Company 
to utilize a significant portion of the divestiture proceeds to fund the 
planned improvements and growth of the Shoney's Restaurant concept.  The 
modifications require the Company to apply 35% of the net divestiture 
proceeds to permanently reduce the commitment available under the $270 
million revolving credit facility. 

        Following the reorganization announcement, the Company has focused on
development and implementation of the performance improvement plan for the 
Shoney's Restaurant concept.  The performance improvement plan is directed 
at all aspects of restaurant operations and restaurant support functions 
including distribution, purchasing, restaurant development and general 
corporate services.  The 


                                  -12-
<PAGE>
Shoney's Restaurants experienced declines in comparable store sales which 
resulted in lower operating margins in both the third quarter and first 
three quarters of fiscal 1995 when compared to the same periods of fiscal 
1994.  The Company anticipates Shoney's Restaurants operating margins will 
be less than the prior year for the remainder of fiscal 1995, or until the 
benefits of the performance improvement plan begin to have a positive effect
on overall comparable store sales and operating margins.

        Revenues from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 
1995 decreased 2.2% ($5.6 million) to $253.9 million as compared to the 
third quarter of fiscal 1994.  For the first three quarters of fiscal 1995, 
revenues from continuing operations decreased 1.1% ($9.1 million) to $817.5 
million as compared to the same period of fiscal 1994.  An analysis of the 
decrease in revenues is shown below.

</TABLE>

        The Company's continuing operations opened 23 restaurants during 
the first three quarters of fiscal 1995, including 17 Shoney's (with 
eleven units purchased from franchisees), four Pargo's and two Barbwire's, 
and closed three Shoney's units.  Franchisees for the Company's continuing 
operations opened 15 units during the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 
and closed 53 units (including the eleven units purchased by the Company).
Sixteen of the franchise closures were in the Chicago-area where the 
Shoney's Restaurant franchisee filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Comparable 
store sales of Company-owned restaurants in the Company's continuing 
operations decreased 3.3% for the third quarter, including a menu price 
increase of .3%.  For the first three quarters of fiscal 1995, comparable 
store sales of Company-owned restaurants in the Company's continuing 
operations declined 1.9%, including a menu price increase of .4%.

        Commissary sales decreased 14.9% ($6.6 million) and 12.4%
($18.2 million), respectively, during the third quarter and first
three quarters of 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods of
1994.  When compared to restaurant sales, these sales have a higher
percentage of food costs and a lower percentage of operating expenses. 
 There is no restaurant labor associated with these commissary sales. 
Franchise fees relating to the Company's continuing operations also
declined $.5 million (7.9%) and $1.5 million (7.2%) in the third
quarter and first three quarters of 1995 when compared to the prior
year.  The decreases in both commissary sales and franchise fees are
primarily the result of a net decrease in the number of franchised
restaurants and a decline in comparable store sales at franchised
Shoney's Restaurants which more than offset comparable store sales
gains at franchised Captain D's units.

        Other income decreased $7.0 million in the first three quarters 
of 1995 when compared with the first three quarters of 1994 as the 
result of several specific items.  During the first quarter of 1994, 
the Company received $.9 million from the settlement of certain class 
action securities litigation against RJR Nabisco, Inc. and others.  In 
addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company sold its 
minority ownership interests in four Shoney's Inns to ShoLodge, Inc. 
("ShoLodge") and the resulting gain 

                               -13-
<PAGE>
of $1.7 million was included in other income.   In conjunction with this 
sale, the Company also received future registration rights for shares of 
ShoLodge stock that may be acquired by the Company upon the exercise of 
certain warrants that it owns.  Under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 
115, certain of these warrants were classified as trading securities and 
adjusted to fair value resulting in gains of $1.1 million and $ .1 
million for the first and second quarters of fiscal 1994, respectively, 
which were included in other income (see Note 9--Sale of Shoney's Lodging,
Inc. and Related Investments).  During 1995, the value of the ShoLodge 
shares and warrants increased $.8 million during the first quarter, 
declined $2.3 million in the second quarter and increased by $ .1 million 
in the third quarter, resulting in a decrease in other income in 1995 
relating to valuation of ShoLodge shares and warrants of approximately 
$2.6 million as compared to the first three periods of 1994.  The third 
quarter of 1994 also included approximately $1.6 million of other income
from gains on certain real estate transactions.

        Cost of sales for continuing operations for the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995 increased $3.3 million over the same quarter in fiscal 1994 
and, as a percentage of revenues, were 85.5% in 1995 as compared to 82.4% 
in the third quarter of 1994.  Cost of sales for continuing operations 
for the first three quarters of 1995 increased $14.4 million over the 
same period in 1994 and, as a percentage of revenues, were 85.8% in 1995 as
compared to 83.1% for the same period of 1994.  Food and supplies decreased
as a percentage of revenues principally due to the decline in commissary 
sales.  Restaurant food costs, as a percentage of revenues, were 
principally unchanged for both the third quarter and first three quarters 
of 1995 compared to the same periods of 1994.  Restaurant labor increased 
as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter and for the first three 
quarters because of higher labor cost at the restaurant level and the 
decline in commissary sales (which have no restaurant labor in cost of
sales).  The higher restaurant labor cost is due to increases in payroll 
costs stemming from competitive labor markets as well as higher levels of 
staffing to implement the Shoney's Restaurant improvement plan.  During 
the third quarter and for the first three quarters of fiscal 1995, 
operating expenses increased as a percentage of revenues when compared to 
the same periods of 1994.  The increased costs were primarily due to higher
depreciation expense and property taxes as well as various costs related 
to the implementation of the Shoney's improvement plan in fiscal 1995.  
In addition, during the second quarter of 1994, the settlement of a 
lawsuit against a former insurance carrier for the Company reduced 
insurance expense by $1.5 million and there was no comparable item in 1995.

        General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of 
revenues from 4.7% in the third quarter of 1994 to 5.5% in the third 
quarter of 1995.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of 
revenues for the first three quarters of 1995 were 5.8%, as compared to 
5.2% in the first three quarters of 1994.  For the first three quarters 
of fiscal 1995, this increase was primarily due to expenses for 
consulting services related to assisting management with the development 
of the Shoney's Restaurant performance improvement program (for which 
there was no comparable item in the same period of the prior year) and
compensation expenses related to the performance improvement plan. 

        Restructuring charges of $1.8 million in the first three quarters 
of 1995 were principally related to severance pay incurred as part of the 
Company's overall restructuring plan.  Other restructuring charges will 
be accrued as they are incurred or when they can be reasonably estimated. 

        Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995, as compared to 
the same period last year, declined approximately $.1 million.  This 
decline was the net effect of higher effective interest rates ($.1 
million) offset by a reduction in interest expense from a decline in 
the average debt outstanding ($.2 million).  For the first three 
quarters of 1995, interest expense declined approximately $2.0 million 
principally due to lower interest rates ($.9 million) and a decline in 
the average outstanding debt ($1.0 million).

        The effective income tax rates for the third quarter and first 
three quarters of 1995 and 1994 were 38% and 37.5%, respectively.  The 
increase in the effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is primarily due to 
the expiration of the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit in December 1994.  Effective
November 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by FASB 
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (see Note 3-- Changes 
in Accounting Policies).  As permitted under the new rules, prior years' 
financial statements were not restated.  The cumulative effect of adoption 
of the Statement in the first quarter of 1994 was to increase deferred 
tax assets and net income by $4.5 million or $.10 per common share.

        Revenues of the discontinued operations for the first three
quarters of 1995 declined 3.2% principally due to a 6.5% decline in 
comparable store sales in the Lee's Famous Recipe division.  Net income 
from discontinued operations for the first three quarters of 1995 declined 
19% principally due to lower operating margins for Lee's Famous Recipe 
and Mike Rose Foods, Inc. 

        Cash provided from continuing operations decreased $12.0 million to
$79.1 million for the first three quarters of 1995 compared to $91.1 
million for the first three quarters of 1994.  This decrease was due 
primarily to a reduction in net income, after adjustments for differences 
in non-cash gains and losses.  Cash used by investing activities in 1995 
was $19.5 million less than 1994 as cash expenditures for property, plant 
and equipment were reduced beginning in the second quarter of 1995 as the
Company focused greater attention on implementation of the Shoney's 
Restaurant improvement plan.  The fiscal 1995 remodels have been 
significantly less costly than remodels in fiscal 1994 and new unit 
construction for 1995 has been curtailed to focus on the performance 
improvement program.  Cash provided by discontinued operations was $3.1 
million lower in the first three quarters of 1995 ($9.3 million as 
compared to $12.4 million in 1994) due primarily to a reduction in net 
income and an increase in working capital for the discontinued operations.

        Significant financing activities during fiscal 1995 included
completion of a $28 million mortgage financing during the first quarter, 
the payment of the final installment of $60 million on the senior fixed 
rate debt in the second quarter, a $4.9 million net increase in short-term 
borrowings under the Company's unsecured lines of credit, and payments of 
$17.5 million under the terms of the Company's litigation settlement (see 
Note 7--Reserve for Litigation Settlement).  During the first three 
quarters of fiscal 1995, the Company had net borrowings of $5.0 million on 
the Company's $270 million Reducing Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolver") 
and had outstanding borrowings of $245.0 million under the Revolver as of 
August 6, 1995. 

        At August 6, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of 
approximately $5.6 million and unsecured lines of credit totaling $30 
million under which the Company had borrowings of $8.7 million outstanding.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 are expected to be approximately $68 
million including expenditures committed for restaurant properties included
in net assets of discontinued operations.  

        As part of the overall Shoney's Restaurant improvement plan the 
Company has obtained various modifications to its credit agreements.  
These modifications include amendments to various financial and other 
loan covenants to reflect elements of the Company's strategic plan and 
the planned divestiture of the two non-core businesses.  Management 
expects the implementation of the Shoney's Restaurants improvement plan 
will result in a continuation of the trend of lower margins in the Shoney's
Restaurants until overall improvements in comparable store sales and
operating margins are achieved.  Management 


                                  -15-
<PAGE>
and its lenders have considered these trends in the modifications of 
its debt covenants.  The Company expects to meet its needs for debt 
service, capital expenditures (excluding those for land and
buildings which are expected to be met through mortgage financing 
arrangements), the payments required by the settlement of the class 
action litigation and other general corporate purposes through cash 
generated by the Company's operations and from the Company's Revolver 
(see Note 6--Senior Debt).

shall be given to each shareholder, either personally or by mail to

(10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.
Notice of any special meeting of shareholders shall state the

or persons calling the meeting. Notice of any annual or special
meeting of shareholders may be waived by the person or persons
entitled thereto by signing a written waiver of notice at any time

of stock standing in their name and may vote either in person or by

     Section 5. Quorum. At all meetings of shareholders, a majority
of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote, represented in

represented shall determine the action taken on any matter that may

Corporation. If, however, such majority shall not be present or
represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders, the
presiding officer or stockholders present in person or represented
by proxy shall have the power to adjourn from time to time without
notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite
number of shares shall be represented when any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
provided in the original notice.

     Section 6. Action by Consent. Whenever the shareholders of the
Corporation are required or permitted to take any action by vote,
such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent,

entities entitled to vote thereon.

     Section 7. Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals. At any
annual or special meeting of shareholders, proposals by
shareholders and persons nominated for election as Directors by
shareholders shall be considered only if advance notice thereof has
been timely given as provided herein and such proposals or
nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable
law and the Charter and By-Laws of the Corporation. Notice of any
proposal to be presented by any shareholder or of the name of any
person to be nominated by any shareholder for election as a
Director of the Corporation at any meeting of shareholders shall be
delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal
executive office not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to
the date of the meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the
meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed (in a public
filing or otherwise) less than 70 days prior to the date of the
meeting, such notice shall be given not more than ten days after
such date is first so announced or disclosed. Public notice shall
be deemed to have been given more than 70 days in advance of the
annual meeting if the Corporation shall have previously disclosed,
in these ByLaws or otherwise, that the annual meeting in each year
is to be held on a determinable date, unless and until the Board
determines to hold the meeting on a different date. Any shareholder
who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith the
text of the proposal to be presented and a brief written statement


                               -2

<PAGE>
of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal and setting
forth such shareholder's name and address, the number and class of
all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially
owned by such shareholder and any material interest of such
shareholder in the proposal (other than as a shareholder). Any
shareholder desiring to nominate any person for election as a
Director of the Corporation shall deliver with such notice a
statement in writing setting forth the name of the person to be
nominated, the number and class of all shares of each class of
stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such person, the
information regarding such person required by paragraphs (a), (e)
and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any
regulation subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable to the Corporation), such person's signed
consent to serve as a Director of the Corporation if elected, such
shareholder's name and address and the number and class of all
shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned
by such shareholder. As used herein, shares "beneficially owned"
shall mean all shares as to which such person, together with such
person's affiliates and associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), may be deemed to beneficially
own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as well as all shares as to which such person,
together with such person's affiliates and associates, has the
right to become the beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement
or understanding, or upon the exercise of warrants, options or
rights to convert or exchange (whether such rights are exercisable
immediately or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of
conditions). The person presiding at the meeting, in addition to
making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the
conduct of the meeting, shall determine whether such notice has
been duly given and shall direct that proposals and nominees not be
considered if such notice has not been given.

notice sent by any usual means of communication. Notice of any such
meeting may be waived by the person or persons entitled thereto by

shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and
thereafter until his successor has been elected and qualified.

     Section 8. Removal and Resignation. Any or all of the
Directors may be removed with or without cause, at any time, by

participate in a meeting of the Board or of such committee by means
