                  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 8, 1998, the consolidated statements of
earnings for the sixteen and twenty-eight weeks ended April 8, 1998 and April
9, 1997 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-eight
weeks ended April 8, 1998 and April 9, 1997 have been included.

   The consolidated statements of earnings for the sixteen and twenty-eight
weeks ended April 8, 1998 and April 9, 1997 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 24, 1997.

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 8, 1998
and April 9, 1997 amounted to $946,000 and $1,646,000, respectively.  Cash
payments for income taxes during the sixteen weeks ended April 8, 1998 and
April 9, 1997 amounted to $4,660,000 and $4,018,000, respectively.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

   The number of shares issued as of April 8, 1998 on the consolidated
statement of financial position includes 4,150,088 shares which were
distributed on December 26, 1997 pursuant to a five for four stock split
declared on December 3, 1997 to shareholders of record on December 15, 1997.

NET EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.  Under the new
requirements for computing basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options is excluded. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously reported primary earnings per share.  All earnings per share
amounts have been presented, and where necessary, have been restated to
conform to the requirements of Statement 128.

   Diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share is computed by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of  outstanding 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 9,
1997 have been restated to give effect to the five for four stock split
declared on December 3, 1997 and distributed on December 26, 1997 to
shareholders of record on December 15, 1997.

COMPARISON OF SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 8, 1998 TO SIXTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL
9, 1997

REVENUES
   Net sales increased $12,610,000 to $89,696,000, or 16.4%, due to an
increase in Steak n Shake's net sales. The $12,671,000 increase, or 17.7%, in
net sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of 34 new units within the
last year pursuant to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores) and a
1.0% increase in same store sales. The increase in same store sales was
attributable to a 3.1% increase in check average partially offset by a  2.1%
decrease in customer counts. Steak n Shake instituted price increases of
1.0%, 1.1%, and 1.0% in March 1997, October 1997, and March 1998,
respectively.

   Franchise fees increased $50,000 to $906,000, due to higher franchised
unit sales volumes.  Nine Steak n Shake franchised units were opened since
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and one franchised unit was
closed during the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  On December 22, 1997, the
Company completed the purchase of eight franchised Steak n Shake restaurants
in southern Georgia and northwest Florida.

   Other revenues increased $244,000 to $538,000 primarily due to the
inclusion of lease termination costs of approximately $487,000 in the prior
year associated with the disposition of two leased properties.

<PAGE>

COSTS AND EXPENSES
   Cost of sales increased $2,540,000, or 12.5%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 25.4%
from 26.3%, primarily as a result of the higher level of Company-operated
restaurant sales in relation to product sales to franchisees, which have a
much higher cost of sales than restaurant sales, and menu price increases.
These factors more than offset increases in food costs.

   Restaurant operating costs increased $6,979,000, or 20.1%, due to
increased labor costs and other operating costs resulting primarily from the
increased sales volume. Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of net
sales, increased to 46.4% from 45.0%.  The higher labor costs were the result
of an increase in the average hourly employee rate per hour, due in part to
increases in the minimum wage on September 1, 1997, and higher costs
associated with recruiting and training unit level restaurant management
arising from new restaurant development and management turnover.  The higher
other operating costs were the result of an increase in repair and
maintenance costs and supply costs.

   General and administrative expenses increased $813,000 or 12.1%. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.3%
from 8.6%.  The increase in expenses was largely attributable to personnel
costs related to additional staffing in connection with the development of
new restaurants.

   The $568,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1997.

   Rent expense increased $505,000, or 20.2%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the second quarter of fiscal 1997 involving
eleven Company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other
leased properties, including the eight franchised Steak n Shake restaurants
purchased in fiscal 1998.

   Marketing expense increased $447,000, or 18.9%.  As a percentage of
revenues, marketing expense increased to 3.1% from 3.0%.

   The $40,000 decrease in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the timing of the number of new Company-operated units opened
during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997.

   Interest expense decreased $345,000 due to decreased borrowings under the
Company's revolving line of credit as a result of the paydown of this credit
facility with the proceeds from an equity offering in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997, partially offset by a reduction in capitalized interest.

INCOME TAXES
   The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 36.5% from 39.1% for
the quarter ended April 9, 1997 and from 36.9% for the year ended September
24, 1997. The decrease from the prior year and from fiscal 1997 resulted 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 $1,071,000, or 28.2%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings and lower interest expense and
income taxes.  Diluted earnings per share increased from $.19 to $.23.

COMPARISON OF TWENTY-EIGHT WEEKS ENDED APRIL 8, 1998 TO TWENTY-EIGHT WEEKS ENDED
APRIL 9, 1997

REVENUES
   Net sales increased $21,682,000 to $153,112,000, or 16.5%, due to an
increase in Steak n Shake's net sales. The increase of $21,746,000, or 17.8%
in net sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of 34 new units pursuant
to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores), partially offset by a 0.2%
decrease in same store sales.  The decrease in same store sales was
attributable to a decrease of 3.2% in customer counts partially offset by a
3.0% increase in check average. Steak n Shake instituted price increases of
1.0%, 1.1%, and 1.0% in March 1997, October 1997, and March 1998,
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 0.9% versus the prior year.  At April 8, 1998, 263 Steak n
Shake restaurants, including 49 franchised units, were being operated.

   Franchise fees increased $205,000 to $1,716,000, as a result of higher
franchised unit sales volumes and an increase in initial and  renewal
franchise fees of $15,000.  Nine  Steak n Shake franchised units were opened
since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997, including three in the
first half of 1998, and one franchised unit was closed during the second
quarter of fiscal 1998.  On December 22, 1997, the Company completed the
purchase of eight franchised Steak n Shake restaurants.

   Other revenues increased $297,000 primarily as a result of a $228,000 gain
on the disposal of property in the first quarter of 1998 and the inclusion of
lease termination costs of approximately $487,000 in the prior year
associated with the disposition of two leased properties.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
   Cost of sales increased $4,485,000, or 12.9%, as a result of sales
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 25.6%
from 26.4% primarily as a result of the higher level of Company-operated
restaurant sales in relation to the cost of product sales to franchisees and
menu price increases.

   Restaurant operating costs increased $11,916,000, or 20.2%, due to
increased labor costs and other operating costs resulting primarily from the
higher sales volume.  Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of net
sales, increased to 46.3% from 44.8%.  The higher labor costs were the result
of an increase in the average hourly employee rate per hour, due in part to
increases in the minimum wage on September 1, 1997, and higher costs
associated with recruiting and training unit level restaurant management
arising from new restaurant development and management turnover.  The higher
other operating costs were the result of an increase in repair and
maintenance costs and supply costs.

   General and administrative expenses increased $1,307,000, or 11.8%. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.9%
from 8.3%.  The increase in expenses was largely attributable to personnel
costs related to additional staffing in connection with the development of
new restaurants.

   The $1,053,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1997.

   Rent expense increased $667,000, or 15.5%, as a result of sale and
leaseback transactions since the beginning of fiscal 1997 involving thirteen
Company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other leased
properties, including the eight franchised Steak n Shake units purchased
during fiscal 1998.

   Marketing expense increased $785,000, or 19.5%.  As a percentage of
revenues, marketing expense increased slightly to 3.1% from 3.0%.

   The $29,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was
attributable to the timing of the number of new Company-operated units opened
during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997.

   Interest expense decreased $503,000 due to decreased borrowings under the
Company's revolving line of credit as a result of the paydown of this credit
facility with the proceeds from an equity offering in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997, partially offset by a reduction in capitalized interest.

INCOME TAXES
   The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 36.5% from 38.4% for
the twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997 and from 36.9% for the year ended
September 24, 1997. The decrease from the prior year and from fiscal 1997
resulted 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 $1,766,000, or 25.1%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Steak n Shake's operating earnings and lower interest expense and
income taxes.  Diluted earnings per share increased from $.36 to $.42.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Twelve Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants and three franchised
Steak n Shake restaurants were opened during the twenty-eight weeks ended
April 8, 1998. In addition, the Company completed the purchase of eight
franchised Steak n Shake restaurants in southern Georgia and northwest
Florida on December 22, 1997. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter,
two franchised Steak n Shake restaurants were opened.  Ten Company-operated
units are currently under construction.  For the twenty-eight weeks ended
April 8, 1998, capital expenditures totaled $21,201,000 as compared to
$30,475,000 for the comparable prior year period.

   The Company's five year growth program for 1998 through 2002 calls for an
annual increase of 20% in the number of Company-operated Steak n Shake
restaurants.  In addition to the 290 Company-operated units contemplated by
this program, the Company will also expand its franchise system.  The result
would be nearly 600 systemwide Steak n Shake restaurants by the end of fiscal
2002, of which approximately 500 would be Company-operated.  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 twenty-eight weeks ended April 8, 1998, cash provided by
operations totaled $12,887,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback
transactions and other disposals of property totaled $4,140,000. During the
twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997, cash provided by operations totaled
$11,128,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback transactions and
other disposals of property totaled $7,086,000.

   Net cash provided by financing activities for the twenty-eight weeks ended
April 8, 1998, totaled $3,817,000.  Net borrowings under the Company's
$30,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement")
totaled $4,000,000 during the twenty-eight weeks ended April 8, 1998.  The
proceeds from these borrowings were used, together with cash provided by
operations, to fund the Company's current expansion plan.  During the
twenty-eight weeks ended April 8, 1998, the Company borrowed $5,000,000 under
its $50,000,000 ten-year Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility
(the "Senior Note Agreement"), the proceeds of which were utilized to
refinance a like amount under the prior senior note agreement.

   Net cash provided by financing activities for the twenty-eight weeks ended
April 9, 1997 totaled $12,420,000.  Net borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement totaled $12,000,000 during the twenty-eight weeks ended April 9,
1997.  The proceeds from these borrowings were used together with cash
provided by operations, to fund the Company's expansion program.  During the
twenty-eight weeks ended April 9, 1997, the Company borrowed $5,000,000 under
the Senior Note Agreement, the proceeds of which were utilized to refinance a
like amount under the prior senior note agreement.

   As of April 8, 1998 the Company had outstanding $29,261,000 under the 
Senior Note Agreement.  As of April 8, 1998 outstanding borrowings under the 
Senior Note Agreement bear interest at an average fixed

                                      11
<PAGE>

rate of 7.6%.  The Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest based on LIBOR
plus 75 basis points or the prime rate, at the election of the Company.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company amended the Revolving
Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date to December 1999.  The amount
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement was $4,000,000 as of April
8, 1998.  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.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

   In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities."  SOP 98-5 broadly defines start-up activities as those one-time
activities that relate to, among other activities, the opening of a new
facility.  The Company's current policy is to capitalize pre-opening costs,
which represent costs incurred before a new restaurant opens, and then
amortize those costs from the opening date over a one-year period.  At April
8, 1998, unamortized pre-opening costs were $1,491,000. Under the new
requirements for reporting costs of start-up activities, companies will be
required to expense start-up costs as incurred.  The provisions of SOP 98-5
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.  Upon
adoption, the Company will be required to write-off the unamortized
pre-opening cost balance as a cumulative change in accounting principle.

                          CONSOLIDATED PRODUCTS, INC.

                       COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE



NET EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.  Under the new
requirements for computing basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options is excluded. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share
amounts have been presented, and where necessary, have been restated to
conform to the requirements of Statement 128.

   Diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share is computed by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of  outstanding 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 9,
1997 have been restated to give effect to the five for four stock split
declared on December 3, 1997, distributed on December 26, 1997 to
shareholders of record on December 15, 1997.

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