   Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                      August 7, 1994
                       (Unaudited)

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 1994 presentation.

Operating results for the twelve and forty week periods ended
August 7, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for all or any balance of the fiscal year ending
October 30, 1994.

NOTE 2 - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" through a cumulative effect
adjustment that resulted in an increase to net income of
approximately $4.5 million or $.10 per share.  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 4).

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.


                              -6-

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

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.  Fully diluted
earnings per share also includes the assumed conversion of the zero
coupon subordinated convertible debentures.  In calculating
earnings per share for 1993, the 2,694,444 shares held in escrow at
October 25, 1992 were considered to be retired effective with the
provisional court approval of a consent decree settling certain
litigation on November 3, 1992 (See Note 7).

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for the twelve and forty week periods ended August 7,
1994 and August 1, 1993 were provided based on the Company's
estimate of its effective tax rates (37.5% and 38.0%,
respectively,) for the entire respective fiscal years.  The
Company's estimate of its effective tax rate for the 1994 fiscal
year decreased from 1993 due primarily to the reinstatement of the
Targeted Jobs Tax Credit in August 1993 and the effects of the new
tax credit on FICA tips.  The statutory federal income tax rate was
35% and 34.8% for the twelve and forty week periods ended August 7,
1994 and August 1, 1993, respectively. 

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 2).  As permitted under the new rules,
prior years' financial statements have not been 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 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 November 1, 1993 are as follows:

</TABLE>

No valuation allowance is considered necessary, as management
believes that the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized.

NOTE 5 - SENIOR DEBT

Debt and capital lease obligations due within one year includes
$110 million of senior debt-recapitalization which is due in two
installments ($50 million in October 1994 and $60 million in April
1995) and is collateralized by certain land and buildings.  As of
August 7, 1994, this indebtedness had a fixed rate of interest
(9.78%) to maturity in April 1995.  The Company has interest rate
swap agreements, which expire at varying dates to April 1995, which
effectively convert the interest rate on this indebtedness to 6.0%.

In July 1993, the Company entered into a $125 million reducing
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial
institutions.  All material assets of the Company not otherwise
pledged (including all common shares of a wholly-owned real estate
company which owns 107 of the Company's restaurant properties) have
been pledged as collateral for the facility.  The facility had a
four year, three month term expiring October 22, 1997, with
reductions in the aggregate credit facility beginning in 1995.  
The interest rate for this facility was based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%  

During the third quarter, 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 will remain 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 7, 1994,  the interest rate on this facility was
6.6% and the Company had borrowed $195 million under the facility. 

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 6 - 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.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received a
favorable private letter ruling indicating that payments to
claimants under this settlement are not subject to federal payroll


                              -8-

<PAGE>
taxes.  Accordingly, accrued federal payroll taxes of approximately
$1.7 million included in the reserve will be reversed during  the
fourth quarter of 1994.

NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

On February 26, 1993, the Company received a capital contribution
of 2,694,444 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company had
recorded the net effect of the shares, which were held in escrow
pending final court approval of the litigation settlement (see Note
6), at October 25, 1992 in shareholders' equity. The Company
recorded the effect (net of estimated income taxes) of the
contribution and subsequent retirement of these shares in
shareholders' equity during the first quarter of 1993.

The Company is a party to 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 MOTEL JOINT VENTURES

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 2).  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 and second
quarters and adjusted to their fair value.  The resulting gains of
approximately $1 million in the first quarter and $580,000 in the
second quarter were reflected in 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
results of operations.  The value of the ShoLodge warrants and
ShoLodge common stock held by the Company declined by approximately
$448,000 in the second quarter and increased by $250,000 in the
third quarter.  The market value of the ShoLodge common stock and
the ShoLodge warrants classified as trading securities was $2.3
million at August 7, 1994.

NOTE 10 - EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE ON EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

On July 2, 1994, the Company redeemed, at par, the $145.7 million
of 12% subordinated debentures due in the year 2000 that were
issued as part of the Company's 1988 recapitalization.  Debt issue
costs associated with these debentures were included in other
assets and were being amortized using the effective interest method
over the life of the debentures.  As a result of the redemption,
the unamortized portion of original issue discount and debt issue
costs of $1,660,808 were charged to expense during the third
quarter.  This charge is reflected in the Statement of Operations
as an extraordinary charge of $1,037,808, net of income tax
benefits of $623,000.


NOTE 10 - RESTATEMENT - CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE

The Company's first quarter net income has been restated to reflect
a correction of the cumulative effect of adopting FASB Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In the first quarter the
Company had estimated the cumulative effect of adopting Statement
No. 109 to be an increase to income of $5.4 million or $.12 per
share (fully diluted), resulting in originally reported net income
for the quarter of $19.6 million or $.45 per share (fully diluted). 
During the fourth quarter, the Company reassessed the cumulative
effect and found that it had been overstated by approximately $.9
million or $.02 per share (fully diluted).  Accordingly, the first
quarter results have been restated to reflect the revised
cumulative effect from the change in accounting for income taxes of
$4.5 million or $.10 per share (fully diluted), resulting in net
income for the first quarter, as restated, of $18.7 million or $.43
per share (fully diluted).

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 1994 and 1993 covered periods of twelve and forty
weeks, respectively.

REVENUES

     Revenues increased $7.7 million or 3% to $281.9 million during
the third quarter of fiscal 1994 as compared with the third quarter
of fiscal 1993.  For the first three quarters of fiscal 1994,
revenues increased $44.1 million to $898.6 million, 5% higher than
the same period of fiscal 1993.  An analysis of the increase in
revenues is shown below.

</TABLE>


     The Company opened 18 restaurants during the first three
quarters of 1994, including eleven Shoney's, two Lee's, three
Pargo's and one each for Captain D's and BarbWire's.  During the
first quarter, the Company sold ten Captain D's units to a
franchisee and has closed five other units  through the first three
quarters.  Franchisees opened 52 units during the first three
quarters of fiscal 1994 (including the ten Captain D's purchased
from the Company) and closed 53 units.  Comparable store sales of
Company-owned restaurants decreased .8% for the third quarter,
which included a 1.7% menu price increase.  For the first three
quarters of fiscal 1994, comparable store sales of Company-owned
restaurants increased .9%, which included a 1.8% menu price
increase.

     Other income increased $6.1 million in the first three
quarters of fiscal 1994 as compared with the first three quarters
of fiscal 1993 as the result of several factors.  During the first
quarter of 1994, the Company sold its minority ownership interests
in four Shoney's Inns to ShoLodge, Inc. ("ShoLodge"), the majority
owner.  The sale resulted in a $1.7 million gain, which is included
in other income.  In conjunction with the sale, the Company also
received future registration rights for shares of ShoLodge stock
that may be acquired upon the exercise


                              -11-

<PAGE>
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 approximately $1 million in the first quarter of 1994 and $580,000
in the second quarter, which were included in other income.
(See Note 9--Sale of Motel Joint Ventures).  As required by FASB
Statement No. 115, these warrants are adjusted to their fair value
each quarter.  During the second and third quarters of 1994, the
Company recorded a decline in value of $448,000 and an increase in
value of $250,000, respectively, for the warrants and other ShoLodge
common stock held by the Company.  In addition, during the first
quarter of 1994, the Company received $.9 million from the settlement
of certain class action securities litigation and during the third
quarter recorded gains of approximately $1.6 million on certain real
estate transactions.

     Manufacturing and commissary sales increased .3% and 4.2%,
respectively, for the third quarter and first three quarters of
fiscal 1994, when compared with the corresponding periods of 1993. 
When compared to restaurant sales, these sales have a higher
percentage of food costs while operating expenses are lower.  There
is no restaurant labor associated with these sales.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 increased
$7.1 million over the same quarter in fiscal 1993 and equalled
82.0% and 81.7% of revenues in the third quarters of 1994 and 1993,
respectively.   Food and supplies decreased as a percentage of
revenues principally due to the increase in other income.  During
the third quarter, operating expenses increased as a percentage of
revenues from 19.2% in the third quarter of 1993 to 19.4% in the
same period this year.  This increase was primarily due to the
decline in comparable store sales and the slower growth of
manufacturing and commissary sales in 1994 compared to 1993. 
Restaurant labor increased to 21.1% of revenues in the third
quarter compared to 20.8% in 1993.  The increase primarily was due
to the decline in comparable store sales.  

     Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the first three
quarters of fiscal 1994 decreased to 82.4% from 82.5% in 1993. 
Food and supplies as a percentage of revenues increased principally
due to higher restaurant food costs during the first half of 1994. 
This increase in costs resulted from the introduction of a new menu
in the Shoney's division early in the first quarter and an
increased cost of whitefish and other food products in the Captain
D's division.  For the first three quarters of 1994, operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to the
settlement of a lawsuit against a former insurance carrier for the
Company, which reduced insurance expense.

     General and administrative expenses for the third quarter and
first three quarters were unchanged as a percentage of revenues at
4.8% and 5.3 %, respectively, primarily due to the increase in
other income.

     Interest expense declined in the third quarter of 1994 when
compared to the prior year principally due to the Company's July 2,
1994 refinancing of $145.7 million of subordinated


                              -12-

<PAGE>
debentures issued during the Company's recapitalization in 1988.
This refinancing resulted in an extraordinary charge of
approximately $1 million (net of income tax benefits of $.6 million)
for unamortized original issue discount and unamortized debt issue
costs.  At current interest rates, the Company expects this
refinancing to reduce the annual effective interest rate on this
indebtedness by 5%.  Interest expense was relatively unchanged for
the first three quarters of 1994 since there had been no material
changes in the Company's debt structure or interest rates prior to
the July 2, 1994 refinancing.

     The effective income tax rates for both the third quarter and
first three quarters of 1994 and 1993 were 37.5% and 38.0%,
respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal
1994 is primarily due to the reinstatement of the Targeted Jobs Tax
Credit in August 1993 and the effects of the new tax credit on FICA
tips.  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 2--Changes in Accounting Policies).  As
permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial statements
have not been restated.  The cumulative effect of adoption of the
new Statement during the first quarter was to increase deferred tax
assets and net income by $4.5 million or $.10 per common share.

     The Company's reserve for litigation settlement (See Note 6 --
Reserve For Litigation Settlement) includes an accrual for estimated
payroll taxes on the payments to be made to claimants under the
terms of the Consent Decree which settled a class action race
discrimination lawsuit.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter,
the Company received a favorable private letter ruling indicating
that such payments to the claimants are not subject to federal
payroll taxes.  Accordingly, accrued federal payroll taxes of
approximately $1.7 million included in the reserve for litigation
settlement will be reversed during the fourth quarter of 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash provided from operations increased $24.8 million to
$103.5 million for the first three quarters of 1994 compared to
$78.7 million for the first three quarters of 1993.   This improved
cash flow was primarily due to a reduction in cash required for
operating assets and liabilities, principally a reduction in
inventory during 1994 compared with an increase in inventory in
1993.  Cash used by investing activities during the first three
quarters of 1994 increased by approximately $13.9 million when
compared to the same period in 1993 as the Company continued to
construct new units and expanded its store remodeling program in
1994.  In addition, the Company used $3.4 million of restricted
cash in 1993 to purchase certain restaurants which reduced cash
used by investing activities in the first half of 1993 when
compared to the first half of 1994.

     Cash used by financing activities increased approximately
$15.4 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 1994 as
compared to 1993.  Significant financing activities in the first
three quarters of 1994 included a $50 million increase in borrowing
under the Company's reducing revolving credit facility used to fund
a $50 million payment on senior debt and an increase in


                              -13-

<PAGE>
borrowing of approximately $145.7 million during the third quarter
of 1994 to redeem the 12% subordinated debentures issued in the
Company's 1988 recapitalization.  In the first three quarters of
1993, long-term borrowings totaling $35 million were used to
partially fund long- term debt payments of $47 million.  Additional
1994 financing activities included the repayment of short-term
borrowings of $6.5 million.  Cash provided from the exercise of
employee stock options decreased $9.5 million in the first three
quarters of 1994 as compared to the first three quarters of 1993,
principally due to the exercise during the first three quarters of
1993 of a significant number of options granted during the Company's
1988 recapitalization.  These options had an expiration date of July
1993.

     At August 7, 1994, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of approximately $5.9 million.  The Company has unsecured lines of
credit totalling $30 million under which the Company had borrowings
of $1.7 million outstanding at August 7, 1994.  Additionally, the
Company has a $270 million reducing revolving credit facility under
which it had borrowed $195 million at August 7, 1994.

     Capital expenditures for fiscal 1994 are expected to be
approximately $114 million.  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 general corporate purposes through
cash generated by the Company's operations and from the Company's
reducing revolving credit facility (See Note 5--Senior Debt).
