NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 7, 1994 AND NOVEMBER 1, 1993
NOTE (A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In June 1994, a plan of reorganization and agreement of merger were
approved by the shareholders of Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises")
whereby Enterprises and Boston Pacific, Inc. ("Boston Pacific") became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CKE Restaurants, Inc. ("Restaurants" and
collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and the shareholders of
Enterprises became stockholders of the Company. Restaurants is a Delaware
corporation formed to provide overall strategic direction and finance, legal
and administrative support to Enterprises, operator and franchisor of
approximately 650 Carl's Jr. restaurants, and Boston Pacific, an area developer
of Boston Chicken, Inc. that will develop and operate up to 300 Boston Chicken
stores.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do
not include all information and footnotes which would be presented were such
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements presented in Enterprises' 1994 Annual
Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented
have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Since Boston Pacific began its start-up operations in February 1994
and Restaurants did not commence its operations until June 1994, most of the
financial performance for the current fiscal year and all of the financial
performance for the prior fiscal year discussed and analyzed in this Form 10-Q
are comprised of the operations of Enterprises, unless otherwise indicated.
NOTE (B) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," as of February 1, 1994, the adoption of which did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. SFAS 115
requires the inclusion in income or stockholders' equity of unrealized gains
and losses resulting from the fair value accounting of investments in debt and
equity securities, except for debt securities classified as "held to maturity."
Net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 1994 has been
restated from that previously reported to reflect a charge of $768,000, which
represented the cumulative effect related to a change in the method used to
discount the Company's workers' compensation reserve.
NOTE (C) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various
claims, lawsuits and other disputes with third parties incidental to its
operations. While certain of these matters involve claims for substantial
amounts, the Company intends to defend these actions vigorously and it is the
opinion of the Company's management that their ultimate resolution will not
have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE (D) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1995 presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
In June 1994, a plan of reorganization and agreement of merger were
approved by the shareholders of Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises")
whereby Enterprises and Boston Pacific, Inc. ("Boston Pacific") became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CKE Restaurants, Inc. ("Restaurants" and
collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and the shareholders of
Enterprises became stockholders of the Company. Restaurants is a Delaware
corporation formed to provide overall strategic direction and finance, legal
and administrative support to Enterprises, operator and franchisor of
approximately 650 Carl's Jr. restaurants, and Boston Pacific, an area developer
of Boston Chicken, Inc. that will develop and operate up to 300 Boston Chicken
stores in the next several years.
In October 1994, the Company's president and chief executive officer,
Donald E. Doyle, resigned and Chairman William P. Foley II was named the
Company's chief executive officer. Additionally, long-time Carl's Jr.
franchisee C. Thomas Thompson was appointed president and chief operating
officer of Enterprises. The management team was further strengthened with the
appointment of board member Daniel D. (Ron) Lane, who has an extensive
background in developing real estate, as chief executive officer of Boston
Pacific. The focus of this new management team will be to improve the
operating performance of the Company's Carl's Jr. restaurants and aggressively
develop the Boston Chicken concept in the Company's designated California
markets.
An image enhancement program aimed at revitalizing the Company's Carl's
Jr. restaurants will be among the first objectives of this new management team.
Plans are underway to test several designs that would upgrade the appearance of
the Company's restaurants during the coming months. The Company hopes to
finalize these tests, identifying those changes that will help increase guest
traffic, and begin an aggressive implementation program for remodeling its
restaurants during the second quarter of next year.
The marketing strategy for Enterprises will also be a key area scrutinized
by the new management team. An executive search for a new vice president of
marketing will be conducted following the less than desired results of the
quality/value repositioning program introduced in April 1994. Designed to
improve customers' price/value perceptions and increase the frequency of their
visits, this repositioning program resulted in lower prices and a more
streamlined menu in most Carl's Jr. restaurants. A new advertising campaign
was introduced late in the first quarter of this year to support this program
and consumer research was conducted to aid in evaluating the success of this
program. While early results were positive, portions of this program will
more than likely be modified in the coming months because the desired
long-term increases in retail sales have not been achieved.
As part of the repositioning program, new menu boards that prominently
display photographs of a variety of products were installed, making the menu
easier to read, and allowing for more effective promotion of "combo meal"
sales. New drive-thru timers were also installed to help the operators improve
their speed of service. Finally, to ensure that any increases in sales and
transactions resulting from this program did not negatively affect the
Company's high standards for guest service, staffing levels were higher than
usual during the introductory weeks of this program.
In an effort to increase further its retail sales, the Company is also
aggressively exploring and testing a variety of new products, concepts and
other opportunities for its Carl's Jr. restaurants. Ongoing resources have been
devoted to a new product development program which should result in the
introduction of several new products each year. Another such opportunity,
currently being tested in one Company-operated restaurant and two franchised
restaurants, is the offering of other branded products, such as those of Green
Burrito(R), from within Carl's Jr. restaurants. Initial customer response has
been favorable, and the Company is continuing to evaluate the feasibility of
this opportunity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Since February 1994, the Company has successfully opened seven Boston
Chicken stores, four of which opened during the third quarter of this year.
Six of these stores were formerly Carl's Jr. restaurants and one additional
Carl's Jr. restaurant will be converted to a Boston Chicken store this year.
This final conversion site is scheduled to open, along with at least 12 new
sites, in the coming quarter.
Preliminary sales generated by the Company's first Boston Chicken stores
are encouraging. On an annualized basis, retail sales for these stores range
from approximately $1.1 million to $1.8 million per store. These levels are
particularly noteworthy because media advertising in the Company's markets has
not yet begun (and is not scheduled to begin until 1995) and many of the stores
that have opened thus far were Carl's Jr. conversions that allowed for rapid
expansion but may not be the most favorable sites for Boston Chicken stores.
The Company estimates that the initial costs associated with the opening
of each new Boston Chicken store will be approximately $600,000 to $800,000 per
store. This estimate includes, among other things, leasehold improvements,
equipment, opening inventory and supplies, and initial working capital. This
estimate does not include any land or additional costs which may be necessary,
depending on the location and the nature of each individual site. The costs of
converting existing Carl's Jr. restaurants to Boston Chicken stores are
estimated to be approximately $600,000 per conversion.
The Company believes that the cash generated from its operations, along
with the $10.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable
securities on hand as of November 7, 1994, the $65.0 million revolving credit
line with its bank and additional borrowings from banks or other financial
institutions will provide the Company the funds necessary to meet all of its
obligations, including the payment of maturing indebtedness and the development
of Carl's Jr. restaurants and Boston Chicken stores.
The Company believes that it has a significant growth opportunity in the
development of its Boston Chicken operations. As such, a special committee of
the Board of Directors was formed in December 1994 to explore options to create
or enhance shareholder value as it relates to this opportunity, as well as
alternative ways to raise the capital necessary to develop the Company's Boston
Chicken operations.
Since Boston Pacific began its start-up operations in February 1994 and
Restaurants did not commence its operations until June 1994, most of the
financial performance for the current fiscal year and all of the financial
performance for the prior fiscal year discussed and analyzed below are
comprised of the operations of Enterprises, unless otherwise indicated.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The development of, and other start-up costs associated with, the
Company's Boston Chicken operations required the substantial use of cash during
the 40 weeks ended November 7, 1994. New menu boards and drive- thru timers
installed at the Company's Carl's Jr. restaurants also required the use of
cash. Additionally, a nonrecurring $3.0 million cash payment was made related
to an arbitration settlement for which an accrual had been recognized at the
end of the prior fiscal year. Thus, cash and cash equivalents decreased a total
of $10.3 million since the end of fiscal 1994. Total cash, cash invested in
money market funds (a cash equivalent) and short-term marketable securities,
which are invested in a diversified, highly-liquid investment portfolio
containing minimal interest rate risk, amounted to $10.6 million as of the end
of the third quarter.
Other current assets decreased during the current fiscal year largely as a
result of the reclassification of $6.8 million of investment securities to
marketable securities. These funds, which had been held in trust by the State
of California in connection with the Company's self-insured workers'
compensation program, were returned to the Company in April 1994. The State
requires the Company to secure its potential workers' compensation claims each
year by providing a prescribed amount through any combination of standby
letters of credit, cash or investment securities. The requirement for the
period beginning May 1, 1994 is $12.1 million and the Company negotiated with
its bank in October 1994 to provide a single standby letter of credit to
satisfy this requirement.
In October 1994, the Company's revolving credit line with its bank was
increased to $65.0 million, of which $16.0 million is committed to two standby
letters of credit, one related to the Company's workers' compensation program
and the other related to the Company's loan on its distribution facility in
Northern California. The Company's borrowings under this line totaled $7.8
million at November 7, 1994 and were included in current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet although this line of credit does not
expire until January 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
As of November 7, 1994, the Company was not in compliance with two of the
covenants governing its credit agreement, which includes the revolving credit
line, a $583,000 term loan which was paid in full in December 1994, and the
two letters of credit discussed above. The Company is currently negotiating
with its bank for a waiver of the requirements of these covenants and more
favorable covenants going forward that will apply to measurement periods
after that date. In the event the Company is unable to obtain this waiver,
the Company believes that it can obtain alternative sources of financing.
In addition, although the revolving line of credit would become due on demand
in the event this waiver is not obtained, classification of the Company's
consolidated balance sheet would not change because this debt is already
classified as a current liability.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company reacquired several
Carl's Jr. restaurants from a former franchisee which resulted in the reversal
of $2.7 million of lease subsidy reserves that had previously been established.
In May 1994, the Board of Directors adopted a new stock incentive plan
under which various incentives including stock or stock options may be awarded
to eligible employees and non-employee directors to purchase up to 1,750,000
shares of the Company's common stock. This plan, approved by the shareholders
at the Company's 1994 annual meeting, provides for certain automatic grants of
stock options each year to non- employee directors, priced at an amount equal
to or greater than the fair market value on the grant date. A total of 50,000
options have been granted under this new plan.
In July 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
two million shares of the Company's common stock. A total of 243,600 shares of
stock were repurchased during the second and third quarters of this year, which
included the purchase of 62,500 shares from the Chairman Emeritus at a price of
$9.13 per share. The balance of these shares were purchased in a series of
open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 million. All
of the shares purchased are being held as treasury stock.
In September 1994, the Board of Directors adopted a new employee stock
purchase plan under which eligible employees may voluntarily purchase up to
500,000 shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions. Such
purchases will be matched by Company contributions of one-third to one-half of
the total stock purchased. Purchases of shares under this plan are scheduled to
begin in the coming months.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Retail sales, comprised mainly of Carl's Jr. restaurant sales, decreased
2.5% and 3.6% in the 12- and 40-week periods ended November 7, 1994 to $87.1
million and $285.6 million, respectively, primarily due to lower per store
volumes but also because the number of Carl's Jr. restaurants operating in both
current year periods decreased slightly. On a same-store basis, these
restaurant sales, which are calculated using only restaurants open for the full
periods being compared, declined approximately 3% in the third quarter of this
year, following approximately 4% and 1% declines in the first and second
quarters of this year, respectively. The declines in the current year are a
marked improvement as compared with the decline in the prior fiscal year, which
averaged approximately 8% throughout the first three quarters of that year.
Although the negative sales trends have not been completely reversed by the
Company's repositioning program, the Company believes its Carl's Jr. restaurant
sales were positively affected by improving customer price/value perceptions as
a result of this program.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Revenues from franchised restaurants, including sales of food service
products by the Company's distribution centers, rental income, royalties and
initial franchise fees accounted for nearly 95% of total revenues from
franchised and licensed restaurants for all periods presented. Despite an
approximate 3% year to date increase in the weighted-average number of
franchised restaurants, sales of food service products by the Company decreased
3.7% as compared with the comparable year ago periods because of declines in
the franchisees' retail sales. Also contributing to the decrease in food
service sales was a reduction in prices charged by the Company as a result of
lower commodity costs and successful contract renegotiations with certain of
its vendors. Royalties rose in connection with scheduled increases in royalty
rates, particularly in the current 40-week period, and an increase in the
franchised restaurant base. These increases were more than offset year to date
by the decrease in other fees related to the sales of and repairs and
maintenance on certain franchise equipment. These sales and services were
discontinued near the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
The Company has continued to focus on improving the cost structure of its
Carl's Jr. restaurants during fiscal 1995. For the 40 weeks ended November 7,
1994, Company-operated restaurant margins improved to 17.1% from 16.7% a year
ago despite slight declines in the Company-operated restaurant base and a 2.7%
decline in same-store sales during the current year.
Nearly 80% of all operating costs associated with franchised and licensed
restaurants in both current year periods were related to the sales of food
service products to franchisees. Gross margins for franchised and licensed
restaurants decreased slightly due to the Company's decision to share decreases
in commodity costs and other savings with its franchisees.
Advertising expenses decreased nearly 11% for the 12-week period ended
November 7, 1994, but were unchanged for the current 40-week period. Although
sales by Company-operated restaurants decreased in both current year periods,
year to date advertising expenses remained relatively constant compared to the
prior year, due primarily to accelerated spending in the current first and
second quarters in association with the repositioning program.
General and administrative expenses were slightly lower in the 12-week
quarter as compared with the same period a year ago. In the current year,
these expenses included the start-up costs related to the Company's Boston
Chicken operations and costs associated with enhancing several key areas of the
Company, including marketing, strategic planning and information systems.
Additional expenses were incurred in this quarter in connection with the design
and implementation of dual concept tests and certain severance costs. General
and administrative expenses for the current year 40-week period were similarly
affected by these costs as well as the write-off of the former menu boards,
which totaled $957,000. These costs were offset by a reversal of certain
previously established lease subsidy reserves totaling $2.7 million in
connection with the reacquisition of several Carl's Jr. franchised restaurants
during the first quarter of this year. The prior year twelve-week quarter
included a $1.7 million charge for the grant of retirement benefits to the
Chairman Emeritus.
Overall, operating earnings, particularly in the most recent 12-week
quarter, were significantly affected by the start-up costs associated with the
Company's Boston Chicken operations. Had the Company not incurred any such
start-up costs, operating earnings for the current year would have been near
year ago levels, on 5% fewer retail sales as compared with the prior year. The
Company believes that these start-up costs will continue to impact the
operations of the Company in the upcoming quarter, but believes that as the
Boston Chicken operations mature the impact will be minimized.
The Company's total debt continued to steadily decline in fiscal 1995 and
as such, interest expense decreased nearly 12% in both current year periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Other income, net, in both fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 was comprised of
investment income, gains or losses on sales of restaurants, interest on notes
and leases receivable and other miscellaneous interest income. As of February
1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As a
result of adopting this new standard, net unrealized gains (losses) on the
Company's marketable securities portfolio are included in stockholders' equity
while such gains (losses) a year ago were included in other income, net. For
the 12- and 40-week current year periods, total investment income was $167,000
and $1.2 million lower than last year, respectively, due principally to the
liquidation of the investment portfolio initiated in the prior year. Fewer
sales of restaurants in the current year as compared with the first three
quarters of fiscal 1994 and a first quarter loss of $450,000 related to the
termination of a restaurant lease in the current year resulted in decreased
gains on sales of restaurants, particularly in the 40-week period. Interest
income from notes and leases receivable decreased in both current year periods
due largely to lower average franchisee balances outstanding.
Lower income before income taxes in the first three quarters of fiscal
1995 resulted in lower tax expense as compared with the same fiscal 1994
period.
Net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 1994 has been restated
from that previously reported to reflect a charge of $768,000, which
represented the cumulative effect related to a change in the method used to
discount the Company's workers' compensation reserve.
