                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)


  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

    In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position as of July 3, 1996, the consolidated statements of earnings
for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and July 5, 1995 and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and
July 5, 1995 have been included.  Certain 1995 items have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.


    The consolidated statements of earnings for the twelve and forty weeks
ended July 3, 1996 and July 5, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
consolidated statements of earnings for the entire year.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 27, 1995.

  SEASONALITY

    Historically, the influence of the seasonality factor on sales has not been
significant.  However, profitability may be influenced by fluctuations in sales
volume because of the nature of the Company's fixed costs.

  INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES PAID

    Cash payments for interest during the forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and
July 5, 1995 amounted to $2,981,000 and $3,332,000, respectively.  Cash payments
for income taxes during the forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and July 5, 1995
amounted to $3,804,000 and $2,606,000, respectively.

  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The number of shares issued as of July 3, 1996 on the consolidated
statement of financial position includes 1,246,670 shares which were distributed
on January 15, 1996 pursuant to a 10% stock dividend declared on December 12,
1995 to shareholders of record on December 22, 1995.

  STOCK OPTIONS

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  The Company is required to adopt the provisions of this
Statement for its fiscal year beginning September 26, 1996.  The Company will
continue to measure compensation cost in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and provide the
necessary footnote disclosure in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123.

NET EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

    Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares and common
equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent shares include shares subject
to purchase under stock options and stock warrants.  Primary earnings per share
in the forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and July 5, 1995 are not comparable
because of the increase in the number of shares outstanding arising from the
conversion of the Company's 10% Subordinated Convertible Debentures ("the
Debentures") into the Company's Common Stock effective April 3, 1995.

    Fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share assumes, in
addition to the above, that the  Debentures  were converted at the date of
issuance, and that net earnings are increased by the actual amount of interest
expense, net of income taxes, related to the Debentures.

    Net earnings per common and common equivalent share and weighted average
shares and equivalents  for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 5, 1995 have
been restated to give effect to the 10% stock dividend declared on December 12,
1995.

    The following table presents information necessary to calculate net
earnings per common and common equivalent share:

COMPARISON OF TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1996 TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 5, 1995

REVENUES
    Revenues increased $10,313,000 to $56,437,000, or 22.4%, due primarily to
an increase in Steak n Shake's net sales of $9,749,000. The increase in net
sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of 43 new, company-operated
restaurants since the beginning of fiscal 1995  partially offset by the closure
of five low-volume units.  Same store sales were flat as a 1.7% increase in
check average was offset by a decrease of 1.5% in customer counts.  Steak n
Shake instituted a price increase of 1.4% in January 1996.    After excluding
existing units in close proximity (generally three miles) to the new units
opened during the periods, Steak n Shake's same store sales increased 2.1%.

    Franchise fees, which includes both initial franchise fees and royalties on
franchise sales, increased $285,000 to $687,000 due primarily to the opening of
16 Steak n Shake franchised units since the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

    Other revenues increased $216,000 to $547,000 due primarily to the increase
in the number of properties leased to franchisees by the Company's franchise
financing subsidiary.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Cost of sales increased $2,915,000, or 24.9%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased to 25.9% from
25.4%, primarily as a result of the mix of Company-operated cost of sales and
the cost of sales on product sales to franchisees.

    Restaurant operating costs increased $4,202,000, or 20.7%, due to higher
sales volume.  Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of revenues,
decreased to 43.5% from 44.0%, primarily as a result of the increase in sales
and improved labor utilization.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $842,000 or 16.4%.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 10.6% from 11.1%.  Marketing expense, as a percentage of revenues,
remained unchanged at 3.0% and accounted for $315,000 of the increase, primarily
as a result of increased television advertising. Additionally, the increase in
expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which included costs for
additional staffing in connection with the development of new restaurants.

    The $418,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.

    The $271,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the increase in the number of new company-operated units opened.

    Rent expense increased $248,000, or 17.0%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the second quarter of fiscal 1995 involving eight
Company-operated properties and a net increase in the number of other leased
properties.

    Interest expense decreased $6,000 as a result of the Company's adoption of
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, "Capitalization of
Interest" during fiscal 1995 partially offset by interest expense related to the
additional borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit and senior
note agreements.

INCOME TAXES
    The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 38.5% from 38.2% for
the quarter ended July 5, 1995 and from 37.8% for the year ended September 27,
1995.  The increase from the prior year and from the fiscal year ended September
27, 1995 resulted from a decrease in federal tax credits as a percentage of
earnings before income taxes.  A valuation allowance against gross deferred tax
assets has not been provided based upon expectation of future taxable income.

NET EARNINGS
     Net earnings increased $858,000 to $3,706,000, or 30.1%, 
primarily as a result of the increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings. 
Fully diluted earnings per share increased from $.21 to $.26.

COMPARISON OF FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1996 TO FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 5, 1995

REVENUES

    Revenues increased $28,947,000 to $171,105,000, or 20.4%, due primarily to
an increase in Steak n Shake's net sales of $27,677,000. The increase in net
sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of 49 new units since the
beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 1994 partially offset by a decrease in
same store sales of 1.0% and the closure of six low-volume units.  The decrease
in same store sales was attributable to a decrease of 3.4% in customer counts
partially offset by a 2.5% increase in check average.  Steak n Shake instituted
price increases of 1.7% and 1.4% in February 1995 and January 1996,
respectively. After excluding existing units in close proximity (generally three
miles) to the new units opened during the periods, Steak n Shake's same store
sales increased 1.2%.  Management believes that the soft retail environment and
inclement weather late in the quarter ended December 20, 1995 had a negative
impact on Steak n Shake's sales.

    Franchise fees, which includes both initial franchise fees and royalties on
franchisee sales, increased $739,000 to $2,070,000 due primarily to the opening
of 22 Steak n Shake franchised units since the beginning of fiscal 1995.

    Other revenues increased $713,000 to $1,807,000 due to the increase in the
number of properties leased to franchisees by the Company's franchise financing
subsidiary.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Cost of sales increased $7,602,000, or 20.7%, as a result of net sales
increases.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased slightly to
26.0% from 25.9%.

    Restaurant operating costs increased $11,248,000, or 17.5%, due to higher
sales volume.  Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of revenues,
decreased to 44.2% from 45.2%, primarily as a result of the increase in Steak n
Shake sales and improved labor utilization.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,572,000, or
22.7%.  As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 11.3% from 11.1%.  Marketing expense, as a percentage of
revenues, increased to 3.1% from 2.8% and accounted for $1,302,000 of the
increase, primarily as a result of increased television advertising.
Additionally, the increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related
costs, which included costs for additional staffing in connection with the
development of new restaurants.

    The $1,283,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1995.

    The $909,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the increase in the number of new company-operated units opened.

    Rent expense increased $1,051,000, or 23.4%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the beginning of fiscal 1995 involving ten
Company-operated properties and a net increase in the number of other leased
properties.

    Interest expense decreased $644,000 as a result of the conversion of the
Debentures into Common Stock on April 3, 1995 and the Company's adoption of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, "Capitalization of
Interest", during fiscal 1995, partially offset by borrowings under the
Company's  revolving line of credit and senior note agreements.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company's effective income tax rate increased slightly to 38.4% from
38.2% for the forty weeks ended July 5, 1995 and from 37.8% for fiscal 1995.
The increase from the prior period and from fiscal year 1995 resulted from a
decrease in federal tax credits as a percentage of earnings before income taxes.
A valuation allowance against gross deferred tax assets has not been provided
based upon the expectation of future taxable income.

NET EARNINGS

    Net earnings increased $2,401,000 to $9,286,000, or 34.9%,
primarily as a result of the increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.
Fully diluted earnings per share increased from $.52 to $.66.  Primary earnings
per share are not comparable because of the increase in the number of shares
outstanding arising from the conversion of the Debentures into Common Stock on
April 3, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company primarily needs capital for the development of new Steak n
Shake restaurants.  During fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Company opened 11 and 21
new Company-operated Steak n Shake units, respectively, and incurred capital
expenditures of $20,567,000 and $42,899,000, respectively.  During the 40 weeks
ended July 3, 1996, 22 additional Company-operated units were opened, and
capital expenditures totaled $35,098,000 as compared to $29,540,000 for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The primary sources of funds for
the Company's expansion program have been cash flow from operations, borrowings
and capital generated by sale and leaseback transactions.

   The Company has borrowings of $10,000,000 available under its $25,000,000
Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility (the "Senior Note Agreement")
over the period ending September 27, 1998, at interest rates based upon market
rates at the time of borrowing.  As of August 1, 1996, outstanding borrowings
under the Senior Note Agreement had an average interest rate of 7.6%.  The
Company's $30,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement matures in December 1997 and
bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR plus 0.875% or the prime rate, at the
election of the Company.  The amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Agreement was $10,000,000 as of August 1, 1996.  The Company expects to be able
to secure a new revolving credit facility upon expiration of the current
agreement.  The Company's debt agreements contain restrictions which, among
other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.

    The Company's current expansion plan calls for 240 new Company-operated
restaurants to be opened during the five-year period from fiscal 1997 to fiscal
2001.  The average cost of a new restaurant including land, site improvements,
building and equipment for fiscal 1996 is expected to be approximately
$1,425,000. The Company expects to fund the expansion plan and meet working
capital needs using existing resources and anticipated cash flow from
operations, together with additional capital generated by sale and leaseback
transactions involving newly acquired properties, bank borrowings, and the
issuance of equity and/or debt securities.
