                            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 9, 1997, the consolidated 
statements of earnings for the sixteen and twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 
1997 and April 10, 1996 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 
twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997 and April 10, 1996 have been included. 
Certain 1996 items have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 
presentation.

      The consolidated statements of earnings for the sixteen and 
twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997 and April 10, 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 sixteen weeks ended April 9, 1997 
and April 10, 1996 amounted to $1,646,000 and $1,301,000, respectively.  Cash 
payments for income taxes during the sixteen weeks ended April 9, 1997 and 
April 10, 1996 amounted to $4,018,000 and $2,764,000, 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 April 9, 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.

   (1)  Cost of sales and restaurant operating costs are expressed as a

COMPARISON OF SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 9, 1997 TO SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED 
 APRIL 10, 1996

REVENUES
   Net sales increased $12,068,000 to $77,085,000, or 18.6%, due primarily to 
an increase in Steak n Shake's net sales of $12,293,000.   The increase in net 
sales of Steak n Shake of 20.7% was due to the opening of new units pursuant 
to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores) partially offset by a 0.1% 
decrease in same store sales and the closure of two low-volume units.  The 
decrease in same store sales was attributable to a decrease of 1.5% 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 3.6%.

   Franchise fees increased $39,000 to $856,000, as a result of an increase 
in franchise royalties of $129,000 due to the opening of 11 Steak n Shake 
franchised units since the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 1996 
partially offset by a decrease in initial franchise fees of $90,000.

   Other revenues decreased $427,000 primarily due to lease buyout costs of 
approximately $487,000 associated with the disposition of two leased 
properties.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Cost of sales increased $2,826,000, or 16.2%, as a result of sales 
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 26.3% 
from 26.8%, primarily as a result of menu price increases, tight management 
controls over food costs and the higher mix of Company-operated restaurant 
sales as compared to product sales to franchisees partially offset by 
inflationary pressures on food cost, in particular, beef costs.

   Restaurant operating costs increased $4,896,000, or 16.4%, 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 45.0% from 45.8%, 
primarily as a result of improved labor utilization and a decrease in fringe 
benefit costs.

   The Company's operating margins improved despite the effect of the minimum 
wage increase and inflationary pressures on food cost due primarily to tight 
management control over food and labor costs.

   General and administrative expenses increased $808,000 or 13.6%. The 
increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which 
included costs for additional staffing in connection with the development of 
new restaurants.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative 
expenses decreased to 8.6% from 8.9%.

   The $653,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was 
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of 
fiscal 1996.

   Marketing expense increased $228,000, or 10.7%.  As a percentage of 
revenues, marketing expense decreased to 3.0% from 3.2% due to the Company's 
market intensification strategy.

   Rent expense increased $305,000, or 13.9%, as a result of sale and 
leaseback transactions since the second quarter of fiscal 1996 involving nine 
company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other leased 
properties.

   The $113,000 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 first quarter of 1996.

   Interest expense increased $223,000 as a result of the increased 
borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit and senior note 
agreements, offset by lower average costs of borrowing and the reduction in 
capital lease obligations.

INCOME TAXES
   The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 39.1% 
from 38.8% for the quarter ended April 10, 1996 and from 37.8% for the year 
ended September 25, 1996.  While the anticipated amount of federal tax 
credits increased over the quarter ended April 10, 1996, federal tax credits 
as a percentage of earnings before income taxes declined resulting in the 
increase in the effective income tax rate.  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 $978,000, or 34.6%, primarily 
as a result of the increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  Fully

COMPARISON OF TWENTY-EIGHT WEEKS ENDED APRIL 9, 1997 TO TWENTY-EIGHT WEEKS 
ENDED APRIL 10, 1996

REVENUES
   Net sales increased $19,404,000 to $131,430,000, or 17.3%, due primarily 
to an increase in Steak n Shake's net sales of $19,742,000. The increase in 
net sales of Steak n Shake of 19.3% was due to the opening of new units 
pursuant to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores), partially offset 
by a 0.2% decrease in same store sales and the closure of three low-volume 
units.  The decrease in same store sales was attributable to a decrease of 
1.5% in customer counts partially offset by a 1.3% 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 3.0%.  

   Franchise fees increased $128,000 to $1,511,000, as a result of an 
increase in franchise royalties of $288,000 due to the opening of 15 Steak n 
Shake franchised units since the beginning of fiscal 1996 partially offset by 
a decrease in initial franchise fees of $160,000.

   Other revenues decreased $365,000 due to lease buyout costs of 
approximately $487,000 associated with the disposition of two leased 
properties, partially offset by 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 $4,989,000, or 16.8%, as a result of sales 
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 26.4% 
from 26.6%. 

   Restaurant operating costs increased $7,919,000, or 15.5%, 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 44.9% from 45.6%, 
primarily as a result of improved labor utilization and a decrease in fringe 
benefit costs.

   General and administrative expenses increased $1,330,000 or 13.6%.  The 
increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which 
included costs for additional staffing in connection with the development of 
new restaurants.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative 
expenses decreased to 8.3% from 8.5%.

   The $1,071,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was 
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of 
fiscal 1996.

   Marketing expense increased $422,000, or 11.7%.  As a percentage of 
revenues, marketing expense decreased to 3.0% from 3.2% due to the Company's 
market intensification strategy.
   
   Rent expense increased $466,000, or 12.2%, as a result of sale and leaseback 
transactions since the beginning of fiscal 1996 involving twelve Company-owned
properties and a net increase in the number of other leased properties.

      The $248,000 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 $350,000 as a result of the increased borrowings 
under the Company's revolving line of credit and senior note agreements, offset
by lower average costs of borrowing and the reduction in capital lease 
obligations.

INCOME TAXES
   The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 38.4% from 38.3% for 
the twenty-eight weeks ended April 10, 1996 and 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 $1,453,000, or 26.0%, primarily as a result of 
the increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings.  Fully diluted earnings per 
share increased from $.36 to $.45.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Eight Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants were opened during the 
sixteen weeks ended April 9, 1997.  A total of nineteen Company-operated 
Steak n Shake restaurants and two franchised Steak n Shake restaurants were 
opened during the twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997.  Subsequent to the 
end of the second quarter, two Company-operated and three franchised Steak n 
Shake restaurants were opened.  Twelve additional units, including one 
franchised unit, are currently under construction. For the twenty-eight weeks 
ended April 9, 1997, capital expenditures totaled $30,475,000 as compared to 
$26,166,000 for the comparable prior year period.

   As of April 9, 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 
April 9, 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.

   The Company's current expansion plan calls for 242 new Company-operated 
restaurants to be opened during the five-year period from fiscal 1997 to 
fiscal 2001.  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.

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 an increase in primary (basic) 
earnings per share for both the sixteen weeks ended April 9, 1997 and 
April 10, 1996 of $.01 per share, and for both the twenty-eight weeks ended 
April 9, 1997 and April 10, 1996 of $.01 per share.  The adoption of SFAS 
No. 128 will have no effect on diluted earnings per share for the same periods.

                                (Revolving Loan)


                                           Indianapolis, Indiana
$30,000,000.00                             Dated as of January 31, 1997
                                           Final Maturity:  December 31, 1998


     On or before December 31, 1998 ("Final Maturity"), CONSOLIDATED 
PRODUCTS, INC. (the "Maker") promises to pay to the order of BANK ONE, 
INDIANAPOLIS, National Association (the "Bank") at the principal office of 
the Bank at Indianapolis, Indiana, the principal sum of Thirty Million and 
00/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) or so much of the principal amount of the 
Loan represented by this Note as may be disbursed by the Bank under the terms 
of the Credit Agreement described below, and to pay interest on the unpaid 
principal balance outstanding from time to time as provided in this Note.

     This Note evidences indebtedness (the "Loan") incurred or to be incurred 
by the Maker under a revolving line of credit extended to the Maker by the 
Bank under an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 30, 1994, 
as amended (the "Credit Agreement").  All references in this Note to the 
Credit Agreement shall be construed as referenced to that Agreement as it 
further may be amended from time to time.  The Loan is referred to in the 
Credit Agreement as the "Revolving Loan."  Subject to the terms and 
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the proceeds of the Loan may be advanced 
and repaid and re-advanced until Final Maturity.  The principal amount of the 
Loan outstanding from time to time shall be determined by reference to the 
books and records of the Bank on which all Advances under the Loan and all 
payments by the Maker on account of the Loan shall be recorded.  Such books 
and records shall be deemed PRIMA FACIE to be correct as to such matters.

     The terms "Advance" and "Banking Day" are used in this Note as defined 
in the Credit Agreement.

     Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding from 
time to time prior to and after maturity will accrue at the rate or rates 
provided in the Credit Agreement.  Prior to maturity, accrued interest shall 
be due and payable on the last Banking Day of each March, June, September and 
December commencing on the last Banking Day of March 1997.  After maturity, 
interest shall be due and payable as accrued and without demand.  Interest 
will be calculated on the basis that an entire year's interest is earned in 
360 days.

     The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and 
payable, together with accrued interest, at Final Maturity.  Principal may be 
prepaid, but only as provided in the Credit Agreement.

     If any installment of interest due under the terms of this Note is not 
paid when due, then the Bank or any subsequent holder of this Note may, 
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, at


                               Page 1 of 2 pages

<PAGE>


its option and without notice, declare the entire principal amount of the 
Note and all accrued interest immediately due and payable.  Reference is made 
to the Credit Agreement which provides for acceleration of the maturity of 
this Note upon the happening of other "Events of Default" as defined therein.

     If any installment of interest due under the terms of this Note prior to 
maturity is not paid in full when due, then the Bank at its option and 
without prior notice to the Maker, may assess a late payment fee in an amount 
equal to the greater of $50.00 or five percent (5%) of the amount past due.  
Each late payment fee assessed shall be due and payable on the earlier of the 
next regularly scheduled interest payment date or the maturity of this Note.  
Waiver by the Bank of any late payment fee assessed, or the failure of the 
Bank in any instance to assess a late payment fee shall not be construed as a 
waiver by the Bank of its right to assess late payment fees thereafter.

     All payments on account of this Note shall be applied first to expenses 
of collection, next to any late payment fees which are due and payable, next 
to interest which is due and payable, and only after satisfaction of all such 
expenses, fees and interest, to principal.

     The Maker and any endorsers severally waive demand, presentment for 
payment and notice of nonpayment of this Note, and each of them consents to 
any renewals or extensions of the time of payment of this Note without notice.

     All amounts payable under the terms of this Note shall be payable with 
expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees, and without relief from 
valuation and appraisement laws.

     This Note is given in renewal and replacement of that certain Promissory 
Note (Revolving Loan) of the Maker dated as of September 27, 1995, in the 
principal amount of $30,000,000.00 and bearing a maturity date of December 
31, 1997.

     This Note is made under and will be governed in all cases by the 
substantive laws of the State of Indiana, notwithstanding the fact that 
Indiana conflicts of law rules might otherwise require the substantive rules 
of law of another jurisdiction to apply.

payment under this Note in inverse order of maturity.

     Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding from 
time to time prior to and after maturity will accrue at the rate or rates 
provided in the Credit Agreement.  Prior to maturity, accrued interest shall

last Banking Day of the month in which this Note is executed in addition to 
the installments of principal due on those dates.  After maturity, interest

calculated on the basis that an entire year's interest is earned in 360 days.

     If any installment of principal or interest due under the terms of this 
Note is not paid when due, then the Bank or any subsequent holder of this 
Note may, at its option and without notice, declare the entire principal 
amount of this Note and all accrued interest immediately due and payable.

<PAGE>
     If any installment of principal or interest due under the terms of this 
Note prior to maturity is not paid in full when due, then the Bank at its 
option and without prior notice to the Maker, may assess a late payment fee 
in an amount equal to the greater of $50.00 or five percent (5%) of the past 
due amount.  Each late payment fee assessed shall be due and payable on the 
earlier of the due date of the next regularly scheduled payment of principal 
or interest, or the maturity of this Note.  Waiver by the Bank of any late 
payment fee assessed, or the failure of the Bank in any instance to assess a 
late payment fee shall not be construed as a waiver by the Bank of its right 
to assess late payment fees thereafter.

     All payments on account of this Note shall be applied first to expenses 
of collection, next to any late payment fees which are due and payable, next 
to interest which is due and payable, and only after satisfaction of all such 
expenses, fees and interest, to principal.

     The Maker and any endorsers severally waive demand, presentment for 
payment and notice of nonpayment of this Note, and each of them consents to 
any renewals or extensions of the time of payment of this Note without notice.

     All amounts payable under the terms of this Note shall be payable with 
expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees, and without relief from 
valuation and appraisement laws.

     This Note is made under and will be governed in all cases by the 
substantive laws of the State of Indiana, notwithstanding the fact that 
Indiana conflicts of law rules might otherwise require the substantive rules 
of law of another jurisdiction to apply.

                       COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE



NET EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Primary and fully diluted 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.  Common equivalent shares include 
shares subject to purchase under stock options. 

Net earnings per common and common equivalent share and weighted 
average shares and equivalents  for the sixteen and twenty-eight weeks ended 
April 10, 1996 have been restated to give effect to the 10% stock dividend 
declared on December 18, 1996.

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