                      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 April 10, 1996, the consolidated statements of earnings
for the sixteen and twenty-eight weeks ended April 10, 1996 and April 12, 1995
and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-eight weeks ended
April 10, 1996 and April 12, 1995 have been included.  Certain 1995 items have
been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

    The consolidated statements of earnings for the sixteen and twenty-
eight weeks ended April 10, 1996 and April 12, 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 sixteen weeks ended April 10, 1996
and April 12, 1995 amounted to $1,301,000 and $1,432,000, respectively.  Cash
payments for income taxes during the sixteen weeks ended April 10, 1996 and
April 12, 1995 amounted to $2,764,000 and $1,586,000, respectively.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The number of shares issued as of April 10, 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 Fiscal 1996 are not comparable to Fiscal 1995 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 sixteen and twenty-eight weeks ended April 12,
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 SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 10, 1996 TO SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL
12, 1995

REVENUES
    Revenues increased $10,855,000, or 19.5%, due primarily to an increase in
Steak n Shake's net sales of $10,363,000. The increase in net sales of Steak n
Shake was due to the opening of 44 new, company-operated restaurants since the
first quarter of fiscal 1994 (which represents non-same store sales of new
units) partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in same store sales and the closure
of six low-volume units.  Many of the new restaurants are located in the
Company's core markets in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and central Florida,
resulting in increased market share.  The decrease in same store sales was
attributable to a decrease of 4.5% in customer counts partially offset by a 4.1%
increase in check average.  After consideration of the cannibalization effect of
new restaurants on existing restaurants, Steak n Shake's same store sales
increased 1.8%.  The decrease in net sales of $56,000 in the specialty
restaurants resulted from a 13.4% decrease in same store sales partially offset
by the opening of a new specialty restaurant in the first quarter of fiscal
1996.  The decrease in same store sales was attributable to a 15.5% decrease in
customer counts partially offset by a 2.4% increase in check average.

    Franchise fees increased $239,000 due to the opening of 18 Steak n Shake
franchised units since the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

    Other revenues increased $309,000 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 $2,797,000, or 19.1%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales decreased to 26.2% from
26.3%, primarily as a result of a menu price increase and lower beef costs.


    Restaurant operating costs increased $3,910,000, or 15.1%, due to higher
labor costs and other operating costs resulting from the increased sales volume.
Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 44.8% from
46.4%, primarily as a result of the increase in sales and improved labor
utilization.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,786,000 or 28.4%.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 12.1% from 11.3%.  Marketing expense, as a percentage of revenues,
increased to 3.2% from 2.6% and accounted for $664,000 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 $494,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.

    The $363,000 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 $409,000, or 22.9%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the first quarter of fiscal 1995 involving eight
company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other leased
properties.

    Interest expense decreased $337,000 as a result of the conversion of the
10% Subordinated Convertible Debentures ("the Debentures") 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 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 38.8% from 38.5% for
the quarter ended April 12, 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 the expectation of future taxable income from the following
sources: (a) future tax deductions that reverse in a carryback period during
which the Company was a taxpaying entity; (b) existing taxable temporary
differences reversing in future periods; and (c) future taxable income.  The
Company has a strong earnings history and anticipates future earnings to be at a
level that will be more than adequate to realize any remaining deferred tax
assets.  Uncertainties relating to future taxable income could include a decline
in sales and reduction in taxable income; however, in management's opinion, it
is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets reflected on the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position will be realized.

NET EARNINGS
    Net earnings increased $869,000, or 44.4%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  Primary earnings per share for
the sixteen weeks ended April 10, 1996 and April 12, 1995 are not comparable
because of the increase in the number of shares outstanding arising from the
conversion of the Debentures into the Company's common stock effective April 3,
1995.

ENDED APRIL 12, 1995

REVENUES
    Revenues increased $18,634,000, or 19.4%, due primarily to an increase in
Steak n Shake's net sales of $17,928,000. The increase in net sales of Steak n
Shake was due to the opening of 47 new units since the beginning of fiscal 1994
(which represents non-same store sales of new units) partially offset by a
decrease in same store sales of 1.3% and the closure of six low-volume units.
The decrease in same store sales was attributable to a decrease of 4.1% in
customer counts partially offset by a 2.9% increase in check average.  After
consideration of the cannibalization effect of new restaurants on existing
restaurants, same store sales increased 1.1%.  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.  The decrease in net sales of $244,000 in the
specialty restaurants resulted from a 14.0% decrease in same store sales and the
closure of a specialty restaurant in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, partially
offset by the opening of a new specialty restaurant in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.  The decrease in same store sales was attributable to a 16.3%
decrease in customer counts partially offset by a 2.8% increase in check
average.

    Franchise fees increased $454,000 due to the opening of 20 Steak n Shake
franchised units since the beginning of fiscal 1995.

INCOME TAXES
    The Company's effective income tax rate increased slightly to 38.3% from
38.2% for the twenty-eight weeks ended April 12, 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

is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets reflected on the

NET EARNINGS
    Net earnings increased $1,544,000, or 38.2%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  The decrease in primary
earnings per share results from an increase in the number of shares outstanding
arising from the conversion of the Debentures into the Company's common stock
effective April 3, 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Twelve Steak n Shake restaurants, including five franchised units, were
opened during the quarter ended April 10, 1996 and 11 additional units,
including two franchised units, are currently under construction. For the
twenty-eight weeks ended April 10, 1996, capital expenditures totaled
$26,166,000 as compared to $21,064,000 for the comparable prior year period.

    In February 1996, the Company announced an expansion of its Steak n Shake
growth strategy to an annual growth rate of twenty percent for company-operated
restaurants.  This accelerated expansion target calls for 240 new company-
operated restaurants to be opened during the five year period 1997-2001,
bringing the total number of restaurants to more than 600 by year end 2001.

    For the twenty-eight weeks ended April 10, 1996, the Company's capital
expenditures and the principal repayment on its senior note were funded by the
Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations,
proceeds from three sale and leaseback transactions and debt borrowings.

    The Company expects to fund capital expenditures, including the development
of the 240 Company-operated units contemplated by the expansion plan, and the
interest and principal payments with respect to its indebtedness 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.

    The Company's debt agreements contain restrictions which, among other
things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.
