                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       AUGUST 10, 1998 AND AUGUST 11, 1997


NOTE (A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -------------------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of CKE Restaurants, Inc. and its consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries
(the "Company" or "CKE") and have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements presented in the Company's 1998 Annual Report
to Stockholders. 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 or for any
other future periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal
1998 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 1999
presentation. Share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the ten percent stock dividend paid in February 1998.


NOTE (B) ACQUISITIONS
- ---------------------

     On April 1, 1998, the Company acquired Flagstar Enterprises, Inc. ("FEI"),
the largest franchisee in the Hardee's system, previously operating 557 Hardee's
restaurants located primarily in the Southeastern United States. In connection
with the acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of FEI from
Advantica Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Advantica") for cash consideration of $380.6
million (which includes miscellaneous expenses paid to Advantica) and the
assumption of approximately $45.6 million in capital lease obligations.

     On March 13, 1998, the Company completed a $197.2 million private placement
of convertible subordinated notes (see Note (D)), and on April 1, 1998, the
Company amended its existing credit facility, incurring an additional $213.2
million in indebtedness (see Note (C)). The net proceeds from the convertible
subordinated notes and borrowings under the Company's credit facility were used
primarily to finance the acquisition of FEI.

     On July 15, 1997, the Company acquired Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.
("Hardee's"), the operator and franchisor of the Hardee's(R) quick-service
hamburger restaurant concept. In connection with the acquisition, which was
accounted for as a purchase, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Hardee's for cash consideration of $327.0 million. The
purchase price remains subject to adjustment to an amount to be agreed upon by
the Company and Imasco Holdings, Inc., which represents the net asset value of
Hardee's as of July 15, 1997. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of
9,171,250 shares of the Company's common stock to the public for net proceeds of
$222.3 million in conjunction with borrowings of $133.9 million under the
Company's credit facility to finance the acquisition.

NOTE (C) LONG TERM DEBT
- -----------------------

     On April 1, 1998, the Company amended its existing credit facility (the
"Senior Credit Facility") to increase the aggregate principal amounts of the
lenders' commitments under the term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") to
$250.0 million and under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility") to $250.0 million, which includes a $65.0 million letter of credit
subfacility, and to extend the final maturity date from July 2002 to April 2003.
The Company incurred borrowings of $213.2 million thereunder to finance a
portion of the purchase price of the FEI acquisition (see Note (B)). Principal
repayments under the Term Loan Facility are due in quarterly installments,
commencing in July 1998 and continuing thereafter until the final maturity of
the Senior Credit Facility in April 2003, resulting in annual reductions of
$20.0 million in the first year of the Term Loan Facility and annual reductions
thereafter ranging from $40.0 million to $70.0 million. Additional borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other
general corporate purposes, including permitted investments and acquisitions,
and any outstanding amounts thereunder will become due in April 2003. The
Company will be required to repay borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility
with the proceeds from (i) certain asset sales (unless the net proceeds of such
sales are reinvested in the Company's business), (ii) the issuance of certain
equity securities or (iii) the issuance of additional indebtedness. Of the
various options the Company has regarding interest rates, it has selected LIBOR
plus a margin, with future margin adjustments dependent on certain financial
ratios from time to time.

     Borrowings and other obligations of the Company under the Senior Credit
Facility are general unsubordinated obligations of the Company and are secured
by a pledge of the capital stock of certain of the Company's present and future
subsidiaries, which subsidiaries guarantee such borrowings and other
obligations, and are secured by certain franchise rights, accounts receivable,
contract rights, general intangibles (including trademarks) and other assets of
the Company and such subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Facility contains a number
of significant covenants that, among other things, (i) restrict the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and incur
liens on their assets, in each case subject to specified exceptions, (ii) impose
specified financial tests as a precondition to the Company's and its
subsidiaries' acquisition of other businesses, and (iii) limit the Company and
its subsidiaries from making capital expenditures and certain restricted
payments (including dividends and repurchases of stock), subject in certain
circumstances to specified financial tests. In addition, the Company is required
to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum EBITDA
requirements, minimum interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios,
minimum consolidated tangible net worth requirements and maximum leverage
ratios. As of August 10, 1998, the Company is in compliance with all of its debt
covenants.


NOTE (D) CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
- ---------------------------------------

     On March 13, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $197.2
million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes (the
"Notes"), in which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $192.3
million, of which $24.1 million was used to repay indebtedness under the Term
Loan Facility. The Notes, which represent unsecured general obligations of the
Company subordinate in right of payment to certain other obligations, including
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, are due in 2004, are convertible
into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $48.204 and
carry a 4.25% coupon rate. The remaining net proceeds from the Notes, together
with borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, were used to fund the
acquisition of FEI on April 1, 1998 (see Note (B)).

                                                                               7

NOTE (E) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- --------------------------

     On September 1, 1998, the Company completed two transactions which resulted
in the disposition of the entire JB's Restaurant system and Galaxy Diner
restaurants. First, the Company sold 14 company-operated JB's Restaurants and
two Galaxy Diner restaurants to Timber Lodge Steakhouse, Inc. for 687,890 shares
of Timber Lodge common stock, in connection with the merger of Timber Lodge and
Santa Barbara Restaurant Group, Inc. ("SBRG"), formerly GB Foods Corporation.
Second, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, JB's Family Restaurants,
Inc., which consists of the remaining 48 company-operated JB's Restaurants and
the JB's franchise system together with four Galaxy Diner restaurants, to SBRG
for one million shares of SBRG common stock. Together, these transactions give
the Company approximately 13% ownership in SBRG.

     On September 11, 1998, Star Buffet, Inc. announced the repurchase from the
Company of two million shares of Star Buffet common stock held by the Company
for a purchase price of $5.0 million in cash and a $7.5 million, 90-day
promissory note secured by treasury stock of Star Buffet.


NOTE (F) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------------

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS 130
requires all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards
as components of comprehensive income to be reported in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS
130 does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires
that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for
the period covered by that financial statement. SFAS 130 requires an enterprise
to (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS 130 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company did
not have any additional items that were required to be disclosed under SFAS 130.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for public business enterprises to
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. This statement supersedes FASB Statement
No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," but retains
the requirement to report information about major customers. It amends FASB
Statement No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries," to remove
the special disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries.
SFAS 131 requires, among other items, that a public business enterprise report a
measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items,
and segment assets, information about the revenues derived from the enterprise's
products or services, and major customers. SFAS 131 also requires that the
enterprise report descriptive information about the way that the operating
segments were determined and the products and services provided by the operating
segments. SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative
information for earlier years is to be restated. SFAS 131 need not be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application. Management has not determined whether the adoption of SFAS 131
will have a material impact on the Company's segment reporting.


                                                                               8

                      AUGUST 10, 1998 AND AUGUST 11, 1997


     In December 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
approved for issuance the Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities. SOP 98-5 requires that costs incurred during a
start-up activity (including organization costs) be expensed as incurred. SOP
98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The
Company currently amortizes pre-opening costs over one year from the time they
are incurred. The impact of the adoption of SOP 98-5 on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations will not be material.

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

OVERVIEW
- --------

     Consolidated net income for the 12-week period ended August 10, 1998
increased 114.4% to $22.6 million, or $0.46 per share on a diluted basis as
compared with $10.5 million, or $0.25 per share on a diluted basis for the prior
year quarter. Net income for the 28-week period ended August 10, 1998, increased
114.5% to $45.3 million or $0.93 per share on a diluted basis as compared with
net income of $21.1 million, or $0.53 per share on a diluted basis. These
improved results were primarily due to the additional operations of Hardee's
Food Systems, Inc. ("Hardee's"), which was acquired on July 15, 1997 and
Flagstar Enterprises, Inc. ("FEI"), a former franchisee of Hardee's with 557
Hardee's restaurants, which was acquired from Advantica Restaurant Group, Inc.
("Advantica") on April 1, 1998. Also contributing to the increase in net income
was improved operating performance of the Company's Carl's Jr. and Taco Bueno
chains due to continued sales growth resulting from the Company's dual-branding
and image-enhancement programs at its Carl's Jr. restaurants and increased
advertising and continued improvements in operating efficiencies in its Carl's
Jr. and Taco Bueno restaurants. Operating results for the 28 weeks ended August
10, 1998 include 28 weeks of operations for Hardee's and 19 weeks of operations
for the Hardee's restaurants acquired from Advantica. The corresponding period
of the prior fiscal year includes four weeks of operations for Hardee's and does
not include the results of operations of any of the Hardee's restaurants
acquired from Advantica.

     The Company is continuing with the conversion of certain of its existing
Carl's Jr. restaurants into Carl's Jr./Green Burrito dual-brand restaurants,
pursuant to an amended agreement with Santa Barbara Restaurant Group, Inc.,
formerly GB Foods Corporation. During the second quarter, the Company opened an
additional five dual-brand Company-operated restaurants and two dual-brand
franchise restaurants for a total of 125 Company-operated and 19 franchised
restaurants operating as of August 10, 1998.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company made a significant
step toward balancing the number of Hardee's franchise and Company-operated
stores with the acquisition of FEI from Advantica for the purchase price of
$380.6 million plus the assumption of $45.6 million in capital lease
obligations. (See Note (B) of Notes to the Company's consolidated financial
statements as of and for the period ended August 10, 1998). As of August 10,
1998, the Company operates approximately 50% of the Hardee's system. The
acquisition was financed in part by $192.3 million in net proceeds the Company
raised from a private placement of convertible subordinated notes, which was
completed on March 13, 1998, and in part by the Company's increased credit
facility.

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements,
which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among others, the following: general economic and business conditions; the
impact of competitive products and pricing; success of operating initiatives;
advertising and promotional efforts; adverse publicity; changes in business
strategy or development plans; quality of management; availability, terms and
deployment of capital; changes in prevailing interest rates and the availability
of financing; food, labor, and employee benefit costs; changes in, or the
failure to comply with, government regulations; weather conditions; construction
schedules; demands placed on management and capital resources by the substantial
increase in the size of the Company resulting from the acquisition of Hardee's
and FEI, changes in the Company's integration plans for Hardee's and its
expansion plans; risks that sales growth resulting from the Company's current
and future remodeling and dual-branding of restaurants and other operating
strategies can be sustained at the current levels experienced; and other risks
detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     Revenues from Company-operated restaurants increased $222.0 million, or
102.4%, to $438.9 million and $489.7 million, or 114.5%, to $917.5 million for
the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998, respectively. Carl's Jr.,
Hardee's and Taco Bueno Company-operated revenues contributed $12.7 million, 


                                                                              10

$222.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to the increase in revenues in
the 12-week period and $29.8 million, $490.6 million and $3.7 million,
respectively, to the increase in revenues in the 28-week period. Offsetting
these increases was the decrease in revenues from the Company's HomeTown Buffet
and Casa Bonita Restaurants which were sold to Star Buffet in connection with
its initial public offering in September 1997. On a same-store sales basis
(calculated using only restaurants that were in operations for the full periods
being compared), revenues from Company-operated Carl's Jr. restaurants increased
5.1% in the 12-week period ended August 10, 1998, on top of a 4% same-store
sales increase in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, marking the 13th
consecutive quarter of same-store sales increases. Same-store sales for Taco
Bueno increased 5.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared with a 5%
increase in the second quarter last year, also the 13th consecutive quarter of
same-store sales increases. Company-operated Hardee's same-store sales decreased
9.7% for the second quarter, a modest improvement from the 10.8% decline
experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     The increase in revenues for the Company's Carl's Jr. restaurants are
primarily attributable to the continued focus on promoting great-tasting new and
existing food products through increased advertising, the conversion of existing
Carl's Jr. locations to Carl's Jr./Green Burrito dual-brand restaurants, the
image enhancement of its restaurants, which was completed in December 1997 and
the increase in the number of Company-operated Carl's Jr. restaurants operating
in fiscal 1999 as compared with fiscal 1998. The increase in revenues for the
Taco Bueno chain is due in part to a new advertising campaign, which began in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Additionally, the Company has been focusing
on more prime real estate than previously targeted for its new restaurants. The
three Taco Bueno restaurants that have opened since October 1997 have generated
average unit volumes substantially higher than the rest of the Taco Bueno
system. Much of the decrease in same-store sales at Hardee's can be attributed
to menu deletions made since the acquisition as well as the discontinuation of
promotional discounting and monthly new product introductions. Average unit
volumes at the Company's Carl's Jr. and Taco Bueno restaurants concepts
continued to increase and reached $1,185,800 and $714,900 on a rolling 13-period
basis, respectively, at the end of the second quarter. Average unit volumes for
the Company's Hardee's restaurants ended the quarter at $823,400.

     Revenues from franchised and licensed restaurants for the 12- and 28-week
periods ended August 10, 1998 increased 42.4% to $35.9 million and 72.2% to
$85.5 million, respectively, over the same prior year periods. These revenue
increases were mainly due to royalties from the Hardee's franchise system,
increased royalties from, and food purchases by, Carl's Jr. franchisees as a
result of higher sales volume at Carl's Jr. franchised restaurants and the
increase in the number of Carl's Jr. franchised restaurants operating in fiscal
1999 as compared with fiscal 1998.

     The Company's consolidated restaurant-level margins of its Company-operated
restaurants increased in the 12-week period ended August 10, 1998 by 0.9% as
compared with the same period of the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact
of the disposition of the Company's buffet-style restaurants, which have higher
operating costs, and the improvement in operating margins at the Company's
Hardee's quick-service restaurants. Although Hardee's restaurant-level margins
are substantially lower that the rest of the Company's quick-service hamburger
concepts, the Company successfully increased these margins in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999 to 18.0% of Company-operated revenues as compared to 16.3% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 12.8% at fiscal 1998 year-end. The Company has
accomplished this increase in Hardee's margins through many of the successful
cost-saving measures it executed at its Carl's Jr. restaurants over the past
several years, including the introduction of the Carl's Jr. labor matrix to
improve labor usage, a focus on safety and accident prevention as a method of
lowering workers' compensations costs, a reduction of food waste and theft
tolerance levels, and a decrease in food and paper costs through the realization
of certain purchasing synergies.

     Restaurant-level margins for the Company's Carl's Jr. restaurants reached
25.8% for both the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998, an increase of
1.3% and 1.5%, respectively, over the prior year periods. The improved results
in operating margins reflect the Company's continued commitment to improving the
cost structure at its Carl's Jr. restaurants, principally in the areas of
increased purchasing 


                                                                              11

savings in food and paper, improving labor productivity and decreasing worker's
compensation costs. As a percentage of revenues from Carl's Jr. Company-operated
restaurants, food and packaging costs have decreased 1.3% and .9% to 28.7% and
28.9%, respectively, for the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998, as
compared with the same periods a year ago despite increased pressure from
commodity prices and a change in the product mix as a result of the promotion of
larger, more expensive sandwiches. As a percentage of revenues from
Company-operated restaurants, Carl's Jr. payroll and other employee benefits
have increased 1.0% to 26.3%, and 0.3% to 26.0%, respectively, for the 12- and
28-week periods ended August 10, 1998 as compared with the comparable periods in
the prior year. The recent federal and California minimum wage increases
contributed to the rise in payroll and employee benefit costs. Occupancy and
other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues from Carl's Jr.
Company-operated restaurants have decreased 1.0% to 19.3%, and 0.9% to 19.3%,
respectively, for the 12- and 28-week periods as compared with the same periods
of the prior year. These costs are generally fixed in nature and, as such,
decrease as a percentage of revenues from Company-operated restaurants as sales
increase.

     Taco Bueno's restaurant-level margins for the 12- and 28-week periods ended
August 10, 1998 decreased 0.8% to 25.2% and increased 1.5% to 26.3%,
respectively, as compared with the prior year periods. Second quarter
restaurant-level margins at the Taco Bueno chain were negatively impacted by
increased commodity costs for cheese and tomatoes and increased lease expense
and labor costs as a result of additional training for the new point-of-sale
equipment installed in all of the Taco Bueno restaurants.

     The Company's hourly employees are paid rates related to the federal and
state minimum wage laws. Legislation increasing the federal minimum wage in
October 1996 and September 1997 has resulted in higher labor costs to the
Company and its franchisees. Moreover, the California state minimum wage was
increased effective March 1998 to rates above the federal minimum wage. The
Company anticipates that any future increases in minimum wage levels may be
offset through pricing and other cost control efforts; however, there can be no
assurance that the Company or its franchisees will be able to pass such
additional costs on to customers in whole or in part.

     Franchised and licensed restaurant costs have increased 28.1% and 37.0% for
the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998 over the same periods of the
prior year. The increase is primarily due to increased food and other products
from the Company by Carl's Jr. franchisees, as well as the costs associated with
the Hardee's franchise system. As a percentage of revenues from franchised and
licensed restaurants, these costs have decreased 7.6% and 17.4%, respectively,
in the 12- and 28-week periods as compared with the prior year. While Carl's Jr.
earns its income from both royalties paid and food purchases by franchisees,
Hardee's earns the majority of its income from royalties paid by its
franchisees, who purchase food, supplies and other products from independent
vendors and distributors. Accordingly, the cost structure associated with the
Hardee's royalty stream of income is substantially lower than that associated
with the Carl's Jr. franchise and license operations.

     Advertising expenses increased $12.4 million and $27.4 million,
respectively, from the 12- and 28-weeks periods ended August 11, 1997, mainly
due to the additional advertising support at Hardee's. Advertising has become
increasingly important in the current competitive environment, and, as a result,
advertising expenses have increased in terms of dollars spent in fiscal 1999 as
compared with fiscal 1998, while remaining relatively consistent as a percentage
of revenues from Company-operated restaurants. The Company has seen same-store
sales growth in its Carl's Jr. restaurants in each quarter since the Company
began its current advertising campaign in May 1995. During the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998, the creators of the successful Carl's Jr. commercials launched a
new, humorous advertising campaign for Taco Bueno, which has contributed in
driving the same-store sales increases in the first and second quarters of
fiscal 1999. In addition, the Company also hired a new advertising firm for its
Hardee's chain. New television commercials began airing in April 1998, which
focus on Hardee's rich, satisfying food.

     General and administrative expenses increased $9.3 million and $31.3
million to $25.4 million and $62.8 million for the 12- and 28-week periods ended
August 10, 1998 over the same periods of the prior year. As a percentage of
revenues, these expenses have decreased 1.3% and 0.3% in the 12- and 28-week
periods of fiscal 1999 as compared with the same periods of fiscal 1998. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues
reflects the economies of scale the Company is realizing by absorbing certain
costs from the 557 Hardee's franchised restaurants acquired from Advantica into
the Company's existing infrastructure.

     Interest expense for the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998
increased $7.9 million and $14.3 million, respectively, as compared with the
prior year periods, principally as a result of higher levels of borrowings
outstanding and the assumption of capital leases as a result of the acquisition
of Hardee's in July 1997 and the acquisition of FEI in April 1998.

     Other income, net, is mainly comprised of interest income, lease income,
dividend income, gains and losses on sales of restaurants, income and loss on
long-term investments, property management expenses and other non-recurring
income and expenses. Other income, net, decreased $2.1 million and $2.9 million,
respectively, for the 12- and 28-week periods ended August 10, 1998, over the
comparable prior year periods. The decrease generally resulted from increased
expenses from the Company's property management activities, decreases in lease
and interest income and losses recorded from the Company's long-term investment
in Rally's Hamburgers, Inc., offset in part by interest earned on the Company's
notes receivable from franchisees.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

     For the 28 weeks ended August 10, 1998, the Company generated cash flows
from operating activities of $113.4 million, compared with $38.8 million for the
same period of the prior year. This increase was mainly due to the added
operations of the Company's Hardee's restaurants and increased revenues and
improved operating margins at the Company's Carl's Jr. and Taco Bueno
restaurants. Cash and cash equivalents in the current quarter increased $7.7
million as the Company generated $4.3 million (net of cash surrendered) from the
sale of 12 JB's Restaurants to Star Buffet, Inc., $4.5 million from collections
on notes receivable, related party receivables and leases receivable, and $6.2
million from the exercise of stock options in addition to the increase in cash
flow from operations. The Company used excess cash flow from operations to fund
capital additions of approximately $45.2 million, to repay capital lease
obligations of $4.0 million, to repay long-term borrowings of $77.6 million, to
pay $10.2 million of deferred financing costs associated with the FEI
acquisition and to pay dividends to its stockholders of $1.9 million. A portion
of the $197.2 million convertible subordinated notes, combined with the majority
of the increase in long-term borrowings of $221.2 million, was used to purchase
FEI for $380.6 million. Total cash and cash equivalents available to the Company
as of August 10, 1998 was $38.1 million.

     On April 1, 1998, the Company amended its existing credit facility (the
"Senior Credit Facility") to increase the aggregate principal amounts of the
lenders' commitments under the term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") to
$250.0 million and under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility") to $250.0 million, which includes a $65.0 million letter of credit
subfacility, and to extend the final maturity date from July 2002 to April 2003.
The Company incurred borrowings of $213.2 million thereunder to finance a
portion of the purchase price of the FEI acquisition (see Note (B) of Notes to
the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended
August 10, 1998). Principal repayments under the Term Loan Facility are due in
quarterly installments, commencing in June 1998 and continuing thereafter until
the final maturity of the Senior Credit Facility in April 2003, resulting in
annual reductions of $20.0 million in the first year of the Term Loan Facility
and annual reductions thereafter ranging from $40.0 million to $70.0 million.
Additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including permitted
investments and acquisitions, and any outstanding amounts thereunder will become
due in April 2003. The Company will be


                                                                              13

required to repay borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility with the proceeds
from (i) certain asset sales (unless the net proceeds of such sales are
reinvested in the Company's business), (ii) the issuance of certain equity
securities or (iii) the issuance of additional indebtedness. Of the various
options the Company has regarding interest rates, it has selected LIBOR plus a
margin, with future margin adjustments dependent on certain financial ratios
from time to time.

     Borrowings and other obligations of the Company under the Senior Credit
Facility are general unsubordinated obligations of the Company and are secured
by a pledge of the capital stock of certain of the Company's present and future
subsidiaries, which subsidiaries guarantee such borrowings and other
obligations, and are secured by certain franchise rights, accounts receivable,
contract rights, general intangibles (including trademarks) and other assets of
the Company and such subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Facility contains a number
of significant covenants that, among other things, (i) restrict the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and incur
liens on their assets, in each case subject to specified exceptions, (ii) impose
specified financial tests as a precondition to the Company's and its
subsidiaries' acquisition of other businesses, and (iii) limit the Company and
its subsidiaries from making capital expenditures and certain restricted
payments (including dividends and repurchases of stock), subject in certain
circumstances to specified financial tests. In addition, the Company is required
to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum EBITDA
requirements, minimum interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios,
minimum consolidated tangible net worth requirements and maximum leverage
ratios. As of August 10, 1998, the Company is in compliance with all of its debt
covenants.

     On March 13, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $197.2
million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes (the
"Notes"), in which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $192.3
million, of which $24.1 million was used to prepay indebtedness under the Term
Loan Facility. The Notes, which represent unsecured general obligations of the
Company subordinate in right of payment to certain other obligations, including
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, are due in 2004, are convertible
into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $48.204 and
carry a 4.25% coupon rate. The remaining net proceeds from the Notes, together
with borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, were used to fund the
acquisition of FEI on April 1, 1998.

     The Company's primary source of liquidity is its revenues from
Company-operated restaurants, which are generated in cash. Future capital needs
will arise primarily for the construction of new restaurants, the remodeling of
existing Taco Bueno and Hardee's restaurants, the repurchase of certain Hardee's
restaurants from franchisees, the conversion of certain restaurants to the
Carl's Jr./Green Burrito dual-brand concepts and capital expenditures to be
incurred in connection with the Company's integration of Hardee's and FEI. The
Company opened 12 Company-operated Carl's Jr. restaurants in the first half of
fiscal 1999 and plans to open up to 40 new Company-operated Carl's Jr.
restaurants and up to seven new Taco Bueno restaurants in fiscal 1999. In
addition, the Company and Imasco Holdings continue to discuss certain
post-closing purchase price adjustments arising from the Hardee's acquisition.
The Company believes that any payments required or to be received as a result of
such purchase price adjustments would not materially affect the Company's
financial condition.

     In light of the success of the Carl's Jr. and Taco Bueno chains and the
turnaround in progress at Hardee's, the Company has established new goals with
respect to future development. Plans are to open 75-100 Company-operated Carl's
Jr. restaurants in fiscal 2000, 125-150 in fiscal 2001 and 200 restaurants in
fiscal 2002. At Taco Bueno, we anticipate opening up to 15, 25 and 35 new
Company-operated restaurants in fiscal 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. In
addition, we have slated to open 25, 50 and 100 new Company-operated Hardee's
restaurants over the next three fiscal years.

     The quick-service restaurant business generally receives simultaneous
payment for sales. The Company presently reinvests the majority of the cash
received in long-term assets, primarily for the remodeling and construction of
restaurants, while normal operating expenses for inventories and current
liabilities normally carry longer payment terms (usually 15 to 30 days). As
such, the Company typically maintains current liabilities in excess of current
assets.


                                                                              14

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


     The Company believes that cash generated from its various restaurant
concept operations, along with cash and cash equivalents on hand as of August
10, 1998 and amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility, will provide
the Company with the funds necessary to meet all of its capital spending and
working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. If those sources of
capital are insufficient to satisfy the Company's capital spending and working
capital requirements, or if the Company determines to make any significant
acquisitions of or investments in other businesses, the Company may be required
to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit
facilities. In addition, substantially all of the real properties owned by the
Company and used for its restaurant operations are unencumbered and could be
used by the Company as collateral for additional debt financing or could be sold
and subsequently leased back to the Company; however, there can be no assurance
that real estate financing or other financing could be obtained on terms
acceptable to the Company. Sales, if any, of additional equity or debt
securities could result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

     The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the
Year 2000 on the processing of data-sensitive information by the Company's
computerized information systems. The Year 2000 problem is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits (rather than four) to define
the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the 1900 rather than the year 2000,
which could result in miscalculations or system failures.

     The Company has investigated the impact of the Year 2000 problem on its
business, including the Company's operational, information and financial
systems. Based on this investigation, the Company does not expect the Year 2000
problem, including the cost of making the Company's computerized information
systems Year 2000 compliant, to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations in future periods. However, the
inability of the Company to resolve all potential Year 2000 problems in a timely
manner could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

     The Company has also initiated communications with significant suppliers
and vendors on which the Company relies in an effort to determine the extent to
which the Company's business is vulnerable to the failure by these third
parties' to remediate their Year 2000 problems. While the Company has not been
informed of any material risks associated with the Year 2000 problem on these
entities, there can be no assurance that the computerized information systems of
these third parties will be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. The inability
of these third parties to remediate their Year 2000 problems could have a
material adverse impact on the Company.

     The Company has completed a review of its information systems and is
involved in a comprehensive program to upgrade computer systems and applications
in connection with its effort to fully integrate its recent restaurant
acquisitions. In conjunction with this computer upgrade process, the Company
believes it will have addressed any potential Year 2000 issues. Total
expenditures related to the upgrade of the information systems are expected to
range from $18.0 million to $20.0 million. As of August 10, 1998, the Company
has incurred approximately $11.0 million of expenditures consisting of internal
staff costs as well as outside consulting and other expenditures related to this
upgrade process. These costs are being funded through operating cash flows.

     To the extent possible, the Company will be developing and executing
contingency plans designed to allow continued operation in the event of failure
of the Company's or third parties' computer information systems.


                                                                              15
