                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                               ------------------


(1)  MORTGAGE LOAN SECURITIZATION:
     -----------------------------

         Certain mortgage loans originated by FFCA and its predecessors totaling
$178.8  million  were  securitized  and  Secured   Franchise  Loan  Pass-Through
Certificates (the  "Certificates")  were sold to investors on June 27, 1996. The
servicing  rights on these mortgage loans have been retained by FFCA. Upon sale,
the mortgage loans  receivable were removed from the balance sheet and a gain on
the sale was recognized for the  difference  between the carrying  amount of the
mortgage loans and the adjusted sales price.  FFCA retained certain interests in
approximately 12.5% of the aggregate mortgage loan principal balance through the
purchase of subordinated investment securities of the securitization trust, and,
in  addition,   purchased  the  interest-only   certificate.   These  investment
securities,  totaling  $30.1  million at September  30, 1996,  were  recorded by
allocating the previous carrying amount of the mortgages between the assets sold
and the retained  interests,  based on their relative fair values,  as adjusted.
The adjustment is based on the present value estimate of future cash flows to be
received over the terms of the mortgage loans based on estimates of prepayments,
defaults,  normal servicing fees, servicing expenses and other factors. The gain
on the sale of the  mortgage  loans was  reduced by  establishing  a reserve for
estimated   probable   losses  under  the   subordination   provisions   of  the
securitization.  These  securities  are classified as available for sale with an
aggregate fair value approximating their carrying amount.

(2)  OTHER UNSECURED NOTES:
     ----------------------

         In February 1996, FFCA issued unsecured notes consisting of $30 million
of 6.78% notes due February 20, 2002 and $30 million of 7.02% notes due February
20, 2003. Interest on the notes is payable  semi-annually in arrears on each May
30 and November 30 with principal due at maturity. The proceeds of the unsecured
notes were used to pay down FFCA's  revolving  acquisition  line of credit.  The
notes may not be redeemed prior to their respective maturities.

(3)  MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE:
     -----------------------------

         At  September  30,  1996,  FFCA's  portfolio  included  mortgage  loans
originated  during  1996 which are held for sale.  These loans  represent  first
mortgages on the land and/or  buildings  and/or  equipment of  approximately  80
restaurants.  The estimated fair value of FFCA's mortgage loans held for sale at
September  30, 1996  approximates  carrying  value based on the current rates at
which similar  individual  loans would be made to borrowers  with similar credit
and for the same remaining maturities.

(4)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION:
     --------------------------

         During 1996, FFCA created a wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary FFCA
Mortgage Corporation  ("Mortgage  Corporation") to originate fixed rate mortgage
loans  for the  purpose  of future  securitization  transactions.  Effective  on
September 1, 1996,  FFCA entered into an agreement to exchange all of its voting
common stock of Mortgage  Corporation for 100 shares of newly-issued  non-voting
preferred stock of Mortgage Corporation,  which represents all of the issued and
outstanding stock of such class; and Mortgage Corporation became a non-qualified
REIT  subsidiary  of  FFCA.  The  preferred  stock  entitles  FFCA to 95% of any
dividends  declared by Mortgage  Corporation.  In addition,  the Chief Executive
Officer and  Chairman of the Board of FFCA agreed to purchase  all of the common
stock  of  Mortgage  Corporation  for  $500,000.   The  accompanying   financial
statements  include  the assets and  liabilities  of  Mortgage  Corporation  and
related results of operations.  All intercompany  transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          ---------------------------------------
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations
          ---------------------------------------------

General
- -------

Franchise  Finance  Corporation  of  America  (FFCA) is a fully  integrated  and
self-administered  real estate  investment  trust (REIT) which  invests in chain
restaurant real estate throughout the United States.  FFCA provides financing to
chain restaurant operators with experienced management in established restaurant
chains principally  through sale and leaseback  transactions and mortgage loans.
FFCA's portfolio of properties is diversified by tenant,  restaurant concept and
geographic  location.  At September 30, 1996,  FFCA's  portfolio  included 1,418
restaurant  properties  represented  by  investments in real estate and mortgage
loans  receivable,  and 243  restaurant  properties  represented  by securitized
mortgage loans in which FFCA holds a residual  interest.  These  restaurants are
operated  by  approximately  400  restaurant  operators  in over 35 chains in 46
states.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Rental and  mortgage  loan  interest  revenue  generated  by this  portfolio  of
properties  has,  and  will  continue  to,  comprise  the  majority  of the cash
generated from  operations.  Net cash provided by operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was $65.3 million as compared to $56.2 million in 1995,
with the increase  resulting from the growth of the real estate portfolio.  Cash
generated from  operations is held in temporary  investment  securities  pending
distribution to the shareholders in the form of quarterly  dividends.  This cash
also may be used to fund investments in portfolio properties.

During the quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  FFCA  acquired or financed 106
restaurant  properties  totaling  approximately  $105 million.  These  portfolio
properties  were initially  funded by cash generated from  operations,  proceeds
from  the  securitization  transaction  in June  1996  and  proceeds  from  bank
borrowings.  Also  during  the  quarter,  FFCA sold 15  properties  and  related
equipment,  seven of which  represented the lessees'  exercise of their purchase
option on the  properties.  An  additional  six  purchase  options  exercised by
lessees were financed by FFCA as mortgage loans. Cash proceeds from these sales,
the collection of mortgage loan  principal  payments and the receipt of mortgage
loan payoffs,  approximating  $10 million in total,  were used to partially fund
new portfolio investments during the quarter.

FFCA's primary source of funding for new investments is a $250 million unsecured
acquisition  loan facility  obtained from  NationsBank  in December  1995.  This
two-year  revolving credit facility bears annual interest  (payable  monthly) at
LIBOR (London  Interbank  Offered Rate) plus 1.5%, as compared to the prior loan
facility's  original rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% during 1995.  The interest rate in
effect at September 30, 1996 was 7.125%.  This variable  rate  acquisition  loan
facility is periodically paid down through the issuance of fixed rate debt, such
as the unsecured notes recently issued by FFCA.

On November  12, 1996,  FFCA issued $40 million in  unsecured  notes at 7.1% due
November 30, 2026, which are repayable at par, at the option of the note holder,
on  November  30,   2004.   Interest  on  these  fixed  rate  notes  is  payable
semi-annually in arrears on each May 30 and November 30, commencing November 30,
1996,  with principal due at maturity.  The proceeds of the unsecured notes were
used to pay down the revolving  credit  facility and fund  additional  portfolio
properties and mortgage loans.

At September 30, 1996, FFCA had cash and cash equivalents totaling $15.2 million
and $186.5 million  available on its revolving  credit  facility.  On October 4,
1996, FFCA used $13 million of this cash on hand to fund twenty-one  Burger King
restaurant  properties  under a sale and leaseback  arrangement.  In addition to
this October  transaction,  FFCA's anticipated  investments  include commitments
made to several restaurant
<PAGE>
operators  of  Arby's,   Fuddruckers,   Applebee's,   Burger  King  and  Wendy's
restaurants to acquire or finance (subject to FFCA's customary  underwriting and
real estate due diligence  procedures)  approximately 360 restaurant  properties
over the next  twelve  months.  These  commitments  totaled  approximately  $275
million as of September  30,  1996.  FFCA  anticipates  funding  these  specific
commitments,  and other  investments in restaurant  properties,  through amounts
available on its revolving  credit  facility,  issuance of additional  unsecured
debt or issuance of additional equity securities of FFCA.

Securitization  transactions,  such as the  transaction  completed in June 1996,
will provide FFCA with another  means of raising  capital to continue its growth
through chain restaurant investments.  In 1996, FFCA created a subsidiary,  FFCA
Mortgage Corporation,  to originate fixed rate mortgage loans for the purpose of
future securitization  transactions.  Under this structure,  mortgage loans that
are  originated  are held until a  sufficiently  large and  diversified  pool of
mortgage  loans has been  accumulated.  Once these  loans are  securitized,  the
resulting  investment  grade  securities  are  sold  (at a  relatively  low rate
compared to the average  rate on the  mortgage  loans sold) and FFCA retains the
higher-yielding   non-investment   grade  and  interest-only   securities.   The
non-investment  grade securities are the last of the securities to be repaid, so
that if any of the underlying mortgage loans default,  these securities take the
first loss. In effect,  FFCA would incur some of the risks of increased leverage
(even though it would not incur  additional  debt on its balance  sheet) because
any future credit losses in the  securitized  loan pool would be concentrated in
the  non-investment  grade  securities  retained by FFCA.  FFCA  originates  and
services  mortgage  loans  and has the  infrastructure  in  place  to deal  with
potential  defaults on the  securitized  portfolio  as it does with the mortgage
loans it holds for investment.

FFCA declared a third quarter  dividend of $.45 per share, or $1.80 per share on
an annualized  basis,  payable on November 20, 1996 to shareholders of record on
November  8,  1996.  Management  of  FFCA  believes  that  cash  generated  from
operations  will be sufficient to meet  operating  requirements  and provide the
level of shareholder dividends required to maintain its status as a REIT.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Total  revenues for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 rose to $29.1 million
from $26.5 million for the  comparable  quarter of 1995.  Portfolio  investments
were the primary  source of revenue  increases,  despite the sale of  fifty-nine
properties in the past twelve months. Portfolio investments in the third quarter
of 1996,  totaling $105 million ($193 million year to date),  are represented by
$38 million in mortgage  loans,  $54  million in property  subject to  operating
leases and $13 million in notes  receivable.  Since these  investments  occurred
throughout the quarter,  their weighted  average balance in the third quarter is
equivalent to  approximately  $62 million of investments and the impact of these
1996  investments  on rental  revenue and mortgage  interest  income will not be
fully  reflected  until the fourth  quarter  of 1996.  Lease and fixed loan base
rates on new  investments  during the quarter ranged from  approximately  10% to
11%, with a weighted  average rate of 10.75%.  FFCA also provided $23 million in
variable rate mortgage financing during the quarter.

The mortgages sold in the  securitization  transaction would have generated $4.8
million in mortgage loan interest  income during the quarter ended September 30,
1996. As a result, FFCA's mortgage interest income for the third quarter of 1996
was lower than the second  quarter of 1996.  This decrease in mortgage  interest
income was mostly  offset by an increase in  investment  income  represented  by
interest  income  on the  residual  interests  held in these  mortgages  of $1.4
million and mortgage  servicing  income of $110,000,  and a decrease in interest
expense  of $2.6  million  due to the  paydown  of debt with  proceeds  from the
securitization. Also offsetting the decrease in mortgage loan interest income is
approximately  $356,000 received by FFCA during the quarter which is recorded as
a principal  reduction in the investment  securities  retained by FFCA. Interest
income on notes  receivable  increased  approximately  $535,000  this quarter as
compared to the same quarter in 1995 due to the addition of $17.3 million in new
notes in 1996 funded in conjunction with investments in restaurant properties.
<PAGE>
The restaurant leases generally provide that lessees make monthly payments equal
to the  greater of a fixed base rate or a  percentage  of the gross sales of the
restaurants  (percentage rentals).  Mortgage loans held for investment generally
have  similar  participations;   however,  a  majority  of  the  mortgage  loans
originated  in 1996 and held for sale do not  provide  for such  participations.
Percentage  rentals  approximated  $1.3 million for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $858,000  for the third  quarter of 1995. A majority of the increase
relates  to one  lessee,  Foodmaker,  Inc.,  whose  increased  Jack  in the  Box
restaurant sales resulted in higher percentage rentals of approximately $315,000
over 1995 amounts.  The remaining  increase reflected in 1996 relates to lessees
whose sales  levels  have,  for the first time,  exceeded  the  threshold  where
percentage  rent is due and to increases in  individual  restaurant-level  sales
volumes  related to lessees who have  previously  exceeded the  percentage  rent
threshold.

Rental  revenues  include both rental  payments  received  from lessees and rent
guaranty  insurance  payments.  Rental revenue collected under the rent guaranty
insurance  policies for the third  quarter of 1996  decreased  to $422,000  from
$812,000 in the third quarter of 1995 due to expiring rent  insurance  policies.
Rent guaranty  insurance  policies  covering FFCA's  properties will continue to
expire at various  dates  through  1998;  therefore,  rental  revenue  from rent
guaranty  insurance  for the  remainder  of 1996 is expected to be lower than in
1995.

The  increase  in interest  expense  from $4.7  million  for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1995 to $6.0 million for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 is
due to the use of  borrowings  in the  last  twelve  months  for  investment  in
restaurant  properties.  FFCA's cost of  borrowings  was 7.1% for the quarter as
compared to 7.7% for the third quarter of 1995 and is expected to continue to be
lower in 1996 than in 1995.  Property  operating costs  decreased  approximately
$600,000  during the period from the same quarter in 1995 due to a higher number
of underperforming  properties in 1995. At September 30, 1996, vacant properties
held for sale represent less than .5% of FFCA's real estate investments.

Income  before gain on the sale of property  rose to $14.9  million in 1996 from
$13.1  million in 1995  primarily  due to the growth of FFCA's  portfolio in the
preceding  twelve months.  Gains on the sale of fourteen  restaurant  properties
during the quarter totaling $2 million were offset by impairment  losses of $1.1
million  recognized  during the quarter on six  properties.  FFCA  reported  net
income of $15.8 million,  or $.39 per share for the quarter ended  September 30,
1996 as  compared  to $13.7  million,  or $.34 per share for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1995.

Tenant Concentration
- --------------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, one lessee, Foodmaker,
Inc.  ("Foodmaker"),  accounted for approximately 11% and 13%, respectively,  of
total rental and mortgage loan interest revenues of FFCA. Foodmaker operates and
franchises Jack In The Box restaurants.  The relative decrease in the percentage
of FFCA's revenue from  Foodmaker  between 1995 and 1996 is due to the fact that
FFCA's portfolio has grown and Foodmaker has become a relatively smaller portion
of the entire  portfolio.  This decrease is expected to continue;  however,  the
rate of decrease is dependent upon FFCA's overall  acquisition  rate and revenue
growth.  The following table  represents  selected  financial data of Foodmaker,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as reported by Foodmaker in its July 7, 1996 Form 10-Q.

</TABLE>

The following  discussion is based on information  reported by Foodmaker for the
forty-week  period ended July 7, 1996 as compared to the forty-week period ended
July 9, 1995.

Foodmaker revenues  increased $56.4 million,  or 7.3%, to $823.8 million in 1996
from $767.4 million in 1995 principally due to an increase in restaurant  sales,
offset in part by a decline in distribution sales.

Sales by Foodmaker-operated  Jack In The Box restaurants increased $74.9 million
reflecting  increases in both per store average sales and in the average  number
of  restaurants.  Per store  average  sales  for  comparable  restaurants  which
increased 8.2% continued to improve under  Foodmaker's  marketing  program which
features a new advertising  campaign,  new product  introductions and aggressive
value-priced  product  alternatives.  The average  number of  Foodmaker-operated
restaurants  increased to 867 in 1996 from 832 in 1995,  reflecting the addition
of  new  restaurants  and  the  acquisition  of  restaurants  from  franchisees.
Distribution  sales of food and supplies  declined  approximately  $21.1 million
primarily due to a decline in sales to franchisees of $9.8 million.  Jack In The
Box franchisees have formed a purchasing cooperative and contracted with another
supplier for distribution  services.  Foodmaker indicates that the loss of these
low  profit  margin  sales is not  expected  to have a  material  effect  on its
profits.  Distribution sales to Family  Restaurants,  Inc. (FRI) and others also
declined $11.3 million in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Foodmaker  recorded  a loss in  1995  relating  to its  equity  in FRI of  $57.2
million,  resulting from the complete write-down of its investment in FRI due to
the  write-off  by FRI of the goodwill  attributable  to its  Chi-Chi's  Mexican
restaurant  chain.  Restaurant  costs of sales increased $17.7 million to $187.5
million  principally  due to the costs  related to increased  restaurant  sales.
Restaurant operating costs for Jack In The Box increased $25.4 million primarily
due to the  increase in average  number of  Foodmaker-operated  restaurants  and
variable  costs  associated  with  increased  sales.  These costs  declined as a
percentage of sales in 1996 in  comparison to the similar  period in 1995 due to
lower percentages of restaurant labor, operations administrative costs and fixed
expenses.  Costs of distribution sales declined $20.5 million to $115.2 million,
consistent  with  the  decline  in  distribution  sales.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses for Jack In The Box increased $2.4 million.  Advertising
and promotion  costs increased $12.3 million in comparison to the similar period
in 1995 due to costs of aggressive  promotions and increased advertising related
to higher sales in 1996.

Foodmaker  indicates that it expects that sufficient cash flow will be generated
from operations so that, combined with other financing alternatives available to
it, Foodmaker will be able to meet all of its debt service requirements, as well
as its capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
