                   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 2, 1997, the consolidated statements of earnings
for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 and July 3, 1996 and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 and
July 3, 1996 have been included.  Certain 1996 items have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.

  The consolidated statements of earnings for the twelve and forty weeks ended
July 2, 1997 and July 3, 1996 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 25, 1996.

SEASONAL ASPECTS

  The Company has substantial fixed costs which do not decline as a result of a
decline in sales.  The Company's second fiscal quarter, which falls during the
winter months, usually reflects lower average weekly unit volumes, and sales can
be adversely affected by severe winter weather.

INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES PAID

  Cash payments for interest during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 and July
3, 1996 amounted to $3,200,000 and $2,981,000, respectively.  Cash payments for
income taxes during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 and July 3, 1996 amounted
to $5,265,000 and $3,804,000, respectively.

DEBT
  On April 28, 1997, the Company amended its Senior Note Agreement and Private
Shelf Facility increasing the borrowing capacity to $50,000,000.  During the
second quarter of 1997, the Company amended its $30,000,000 Revolving Credit
Facility to extend the maturity date to December 1998.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  The number of shares issued as of July 2, 1997 as reported in the consolidated
statement of financial position includes 1,402,298 shares which were distributed
on January 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on January 6, 1997 pursuant to a
10% stock dividend declared on December 18, 1996.

  On May 21, 1997, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
a registration statement for 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to be offered
for sale, subject to market conditions, through Company-directed transactions.
Subsequent to July 2, 1997, the Company sold the 1,000,000 shares of common
stock pursuant to this offering generating proceeds, net of agent fees, of
approximately $16,900,000.  The proceeds were utilized to repay indebtedness.

          percentage of net sales.

COMPARISON OF TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1997 TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1996

REVENUES

     Net sales increased $8,971,000 to $64,174,000, or 16.3%, due to an increase
in Steak n Shake's net sales of $9,254,000.  The 18.1% increase in net sales of
Steak n Shake was due to the opening of new units pursuant to the Company's
expansion plan (non-same stores) partially offset by a 3.3% decrease in same
store sales.  The number of Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants increased
20% to 187 at July 2, 1997 as compared to 156 at July 3, 1996.  The decrease in
same store sales was attributable to a decrease of 5.0% in customer counts
partially offset by a 1.7% increase in check average. Steak n Shake instituted
price increases of 1.3% and 1.0% in October 1996 and March 1997, respectively.
After excluding units in close proximity (generally three miles) to the new
units opened during the periods, Steak n Shake same store sales were flat with
the prior year quarter.

     Franchise fees increased $156,000 to $843,000, as a result of an increase
in franchise royalties of $76,000 due to the opening of 8 Steak n Shake
franchised units since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and an
increase in initial and renewal franchise fees of $80,000.  Four franchised
units opened during the third quarter of 1997 compared to two franchised units
in the third quarter 1996.

     Other revenues increased $161,000 primarily due to a $151,000 loss on the

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Cost of sales increased $2,098,000, or 14.3%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 26.1% from
26.5%, primarily as a result of the higher mix of Company-operated restaurant
sales as compared to product sales to franchisees, menu price increases and
tight management controls over food costs partially offset by inflationary
pressures on food cost, in particular, beef costs.

     Restaurant operating costs increased $4,091,000, or 16.7%, due to increased
labor costs and other operating costs resulting from the higher sales volume and
the effect of the minimum wage increase partially offset by a decrease in fringe
benefit costs.  Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of net sales,
increased to 44.6% from 44.4%.

     General and administrative expenses increased $685,000 or 16.0%. The
increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which included
costs for additional management and training personnel in connection with the
development of new restaurants.  As a percentage of revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 7.5% from 7.6%.

     The $445,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1996.

     Marketing expense increased $301,000, or 17.6%.  As a percentage of
revenues, marketing expense increased slightly to 3.1% from 3.0% due to
increased outdoor and television advertising.

     Rent expense increased $319,000, or 18.7%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 1996
involving 12 company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other
leased properties.

     The $51,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the increase in the number of new company-operated units opened
since the end of the second quarter of 1996.

     Interest expense increased $93,000 as a result of the increased borrowings
under the Company's revolving line of credit and senior note agreements to fund
the Company's expansion plan, offset by lower average costs of borrowing and the
reduction in capital lease obligations.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 37.0% from 38.5% for
the quarter ended July 3, 1996 and from 37.8% for the year ended September 25,
1996.  The decrease in the Company's effective income tax rate resulted
principally from lower state 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 $849,000, or 22.9%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  Fully diluted earnings per
share increased from $.24 to $.29.

COMPARISON OF FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1997 TO FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 3, 1996

REVENUES

     Net sales increased $28,376,000 to $195,604,000, or 17.0%, due to an
increase in Steak n Shake's net sales of $28,996,000. The 18.9% increase in net
sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of new units pursuant to the
Company's expansion plan (non-same stores), partially offset by a 0.8% decrease
in same store sales and the closure of three low-volume units.  The number of
Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants increased 20% to 187 at July 2, 1997
as compared to 156 at July 3, 1996.  The decrease in same store sales was
attributable to a decrease of 2.2% in customer counts partially offset by a 1.4%
increase in check average.  Steak n Shake instituted price increases of 1.4%,
1.3%, and 1.0% in January 1996, October 1996, and March 1997, respectively.
After excluding units in close proximity (generally three miles) to the new
units opened during the periods, Steak n Shake same store sales increased 2.3%.


     Franchise fees increased $283,000 to $2,353,000, as a result of an increase
in franchise royalties of $363,000 due to the opening of 8 Steak n Shake
franchised units since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996 partially
offset by a decrease in initial and renewal franchise fees of $80,000.  Six
franchised units opened during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 compared to
eleven franchised units in the prior year period.

     Other revenues decreased $204,000 due to lease buyout costs of
approximately $487,000 during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 associated with
the disposition of two leased properties, partially offset by losses of
approximately $217,000 on the disposal of property during the prior year and
revenue generated by an increase in the number of properties leased to
franchisees by the Company's franchise financing subsidiary.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Cost of sales increased $7,086,000, or 16.0%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 26.3% from
26.5%.

     Restaurant operating costs increased $12,010,000, or 15.9%, due to
increased labor costs and other operating costs resulting from the higher sales
volume and the effect of the minimum wage increase. Restaurant operating costs,
as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 44.8% from 45.2%, primarily as a
result of a decrease in fringe benefit costs.

     General and administrative expenses increased $2,015,000 or 14.4%.  The
increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which included
costs for additional management and training personnel in connection with the
development of new restaurants.  As a percentage of revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 8.0% from 8.2%.

     The $1,516,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1996.


     Marketing expense increased $722,000, or 13.6%.  As a percentage of
revenues, marketing expense decreased to 3.0% from 3.1% due to the Company's
market intensification strategy.

     Rent expense increased $785,000, or 14.2%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the beginning of fiscal 1996 involving 15 Company-
owned properties and a net increase in the number of other leased properties.

          The $299,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the increase in the number of new Company-operated units opened
since the beginning of fiscal 1996.

     Interest expense increased $444,000 as a result of the increased borrowings
under the Company's revolving line of credit and senior note agreements to fund
the Company's expansion plan, offset by lower average costs of borrowing and the
reduction in capital lease obligations.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 37.9% from 38.4% for
the forty weeks ended July 3, 1996 and increased from 37.8% for the year ended
September 25, 1996.  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 $2,302,000, or 24.8%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  Fully diluted earnings per
share increased from $.60 to $.74.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Seven Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants were opened during the
twelve weeks ended July 2, 1997.  A total of twenty-six Company-operated Steak n
Shake restaurants and six franchised Steak n Shake restaurants were opened
during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997.  Subsequent to the end of the third
quarter, five Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants were opened.  Eleven
additional units, including four franchised units, are currently under
construction.  For the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997, capital expenditures
totaled $42,522,000 as compared to $35,098,000 for the comparable prior year
period.

     The Company's five-year expansion plan has an ongoing objective of an
annual increase of at least 20% in the number of Company-operated Steak n Shake
restaurants.  The Company intends to fund capital expenditures and meet working
capital needs using existing resources and anticipated cash flows 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.

     During the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997, cash provided by operations
totaled $20,798,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback transactions and
other disposals of property totaled $10,245,000. During the forty weeks ended
July 3, 1996, cash provided by operations totaled $19,925,000, while cash
generated by sale and leaseback transactions and other disposals of property
totaled $5,562,000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the forty weeks ended July 2,
1997 totaled $12,189,000.  Net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement
and the Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility totaled $12,000,000 and
$5,000,000, respectively, during the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997.  The
proceeds from the borrowings were used to fund the Company's current expansion
plan and refinance borrowings under the prior senior note agreement.

     As of July 2, 1997, the Company had borrowed $25,000,000 under its ten-year
Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility.  Borrowings under this
facility bear interest at an average fixed rate of 7.7%. On April 28, 1997, the
Company amended the Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility increasing
borrowing capacity to $50,000,000.  The Company's $30,000,000 Revolving Credit
Agreement bears interest based on LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points or the prime
rate, at the election of the Company.  During the second quarter of 1997, the
Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date to
December 1998.  The amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement was
$16,000,000 as of July 2, 1997.  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.

     On May 21, 1997, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement for 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to
be offered for sale, subject to market conditions, through Company-directed
transactions.  Subsequent to July 2, 1997, the Company sold the 1,000,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to this offering generating proceeds, net of agent
fees, of approximately $16,900,000.  The proceeds were utilized to repay
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  For
its fiscal year beginning September 25, 1997, the Company will be required to
change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating basic earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The change is
expected to result in no effect to the primary (basic) earnings per share for
both the twelve weeks ended July 2, 1997 and July 3, 1996, and an increase of
$.01 per share for both the forty weeks ended July 2, 1997 and July 3, 1996.
The adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have no effect on diluted earnings per share
for the same periods.

average shares and equivalents  for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3,
1996 have been restated to give effect to the 10% stock dividend declared on
December 18, 1996.
