    The Company is engaged in operating 162 Steak n Shake-Registered  Trademark-
restaurants,  including  30  franchised  units,  primarily  in  the  Midwest and
Southeast, serving  the  mid-scale,  casual dining  segment  of  the  restaurant

Company are  located at  500  Century Building,  36 South  Pennsylvania  Street,

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    The  exercise price of the Warrant is  $2.7321 per share, or an aggregate of
$200,000. The proceeds to the Company from  the exercise of the Warrant will  be
applied  to general  corporate purposes.  The Company  will receive  none of the
proceeds from the  subsequent sales  by the  Selling Shareholder  of the  Shares
offered  hereby. All net proceeds  from those sales will  be paid to the Selling
Shareholder.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDER

    The Selling Shareholder, a New York-based investment banking firm, served as
a financial advisor to the Company under a three-year consulting agreement dated
May 15,  1991. Pursuant  to the  consulting agreement,  the Selling  Shareholder
received an annual fee of $24,000 for advice to the Company concerning financial
and   business  strategies.  The  agreement   further  granted  to  the  Selling
Shareholder a Warrant to  purchase up to 50,000  shares of the Company's  Common
Stock  at a  price per  share of $4.00,  expiring on  May 15,  1996. Pursuant to
certain anti-dilution provisions in the  Warrant, the original shares and  price
per  share  were adjusted  to 73,205  shares at  a price  per share  of $2.7321,
reflecting the 10% stock dividends issued by the Company to its shareholders  on
January  21, 1992; January 18, 1993; January 28, 1994; and January 20, 1995. The
Warrant provides that the Company is to effect registration of the Shares  under
the  Securities Act of 1933 upon demand  by the Selling Shareholder. That demand
was made on August 8, 1995.

    The Selling Shareholder holds no other shares of the Company's Common  Stock
as  of the  date hereof.  The Shares,  when issued,  will represent  less than 1
percent of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    The Shares will be sold by the Selling Shareholder from time to time in  one
or  more  transactions  (which may  involve  block transactions)  on  the Nasdaq
National Market System or  any other exchange or  automated quotation system  on
which the Common Stock may then be listed, in privately negotiated transactions,
in  the over-the-counter market,  or a combination  of such methods  of sale, at
market prices  prevailing  at  the time  of  sale,  at prices  related  to  such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

    Certain  legal  matters relating  to the  issuance of  the Shares  have been
passed on for the Company by Ice Miller Donadio & Ryan, Indianapolis, Indiana.
