                             CONSOLIDATED PRODUCTS, INC.
                     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 December 17, 1997, the consolidated 
statements of earnings for the twelve weeks ended December 17, 1997 and 
December 18, 1996 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 
twelve weeks ended December 17, 1997 and December 18, 1996 have been included.
  
          The consolidated statements of earnings for the twelve weeks ended 
December 17, 1997 and December 18, 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 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 twelve weeks ended December 
17, 1997 and December 18, 1996 amounted to $777,000 and $1,020,000, 
respectively. Cash payments for income taxes during the twelve weeks ended 
December 17, 1997 and December 18, 1996 amounted to $1,046,000 and $372,000, 
respectively.
  
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

          The number of shares issued as of December 17, 1997 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 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.

                                      6
<PAGE>

     Net earnings per common and common equivalent share and weighted average 
shares and equivalents for the twelve weeks ended December 18, 1996 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.

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

COMPARISON OF TWELVE WEEKS ENDED DECEMBER 17, 1997 TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED
DECEMBER 18, 1996

REVENUES

     Net sales increased $9,071,000 to $63,416,000, or 16.7%, due to an increase
in Steak n Shake's net sales. The increase of $9,075,000, or 18.1%, in net sales
of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of 29 new units within the last year
pursuant to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores), partially offset by
a 1.8% decrease in same store sales. The decrease in same store sales was
attributable to a decrease of 4.2% in customer counts partially offset by a 2.4%
increase in check average. Steak n Shake instituted price increases of 1.0% and
1.1% in March 1997 and October 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 decreased 0.5% from the prior year
quarter.  At December 17, 1997, 259 Steak n Shake restaurants, including 58
franchised, were being operated.

     Franchise fees increased $155,000 to $810,000, as a result of an increase
in franchise royalties of $140,000 due to the opening of 9 Steak n Shake
franchised units since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and an
increase in initial and renewal franchise fees of $15,000.  Three franchised
units opened during the first quarter of 1998.

     Other revenues increased $344,000 to $944,000, primarily as a result of a
$228,000 gain on the disposal of property in the first quarter of 1998 and
higher rent income generated from the leasing of properties to franchisees.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Cost of sales increased $1,944,000, or 13.4%, as a result of sales 
increases.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 25.9% 
from 26.7%, primarily as a result of the higher mix of Company-operated 
restaurant cost of sales as compared to cost of sales for products sold to 
franchisees. Menu price increases and decreased pressures on food cost, in 
particular, dairy and beef costs, also contributed to the decrease in cost of 
sales.

     Restaurant operating costs increased $4,937,000, or 20.3%, principally 
due to higher labor costs and other operating costs resulting from the 
increased sales volume.  Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of net 
sales, increased to 46.1% from 44.7%.  The higher labor costs were the result 
of (i) an increase in the average rate per hour, due in part to increases in 
the minimum wage on September 1, 1997, (ii) decreased labor efficiency and 
(iii) higher costs associated with recruiting and training unit level 
restaurant management arising from management turnover.

     General and administrative expenses increased $632,000 or 14.6%.  As a 
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased 
slightly to 7.6% from 7.8%.  The increase in expenses was attributable to 
personnel related costs, which included costs for additional management 
support personnel in connection with the development of new restaurants.
     
     The $491,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was 
attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of 
fiscal 1997.

     Rent expense increased $307,000, or 17.1%, as a result of sale and 
leaseback transactions since the beginning of fiscal 1997 involving twelve 
Company-owned properties and a net increase in the number of other leased 
properties.

     Marketing expense increased $338,000, or 20.3%.  As a percentage of 
revenues, marketing expense increased slightly to 3.1% from 3.0%.

     The $69,000 increase in the amortization of pre-opening costs was 
attributable to the increase in the number of new Company-operated units 
opened during fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996.

     Interest expense decreased $158,000 due to decreased borrowings under 
the Company's revolving line of credit as a result of the proceeds from the 
equity offering in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, lower average costs of 
borrowing and the reduction in capital lease obligations, partially offset by 
a reduction in capitalized interest.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 36.5% from 37.5% 
for the quarter ended December 18, 1996 and 36.9% for the year ended 
September 24, 1997.  The decrease from the prior period 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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Ten Steak n Shake restaurants, including three franchised units, were 
opened during the quarter ended December 17, 1997.  Subsequent to the end of 
the first quarter, two Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants were 
opened.  Six additional units, including two franchised units, are currently 
under construction.  For the quarter ended December 17, 1997, capital 
expenditures totaled $7,608,000 as compared to $15,268,000 for the comparable 
prior year period.
   
     On December 22, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of eight 
franchised Steak n Shake restaurants in southern Georgia and northwest 
Florida. With the recapture of these markets for Company-operated 
restaurants, the Company will pursue a more aggressive growth plan in the 
southeast, particularly in the Alabama, Georgia and Florida corridor.
     
     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 twelve weeks ended December 17, 1997, cash provided by 
operations totaled $4,973,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback 
transactions and other disposals of property totaled $1,367,000. During the 
twelve weeks ended December 18, 1996, cash provided by operations totaled 
$3,201,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback transactions and other 
disposals of property totaled $2,331,000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve weeks ended 
December 17, 1997, totaled $1,071,000.  Net borrowings under the Company's 
$30,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") 
totaled $2,000,000 during the twelve weeks ended December 17, 1997.  The 
proceeds from the borrowings were used, together with cash provided by 
operations, to fund the Company's current expansion plan.  During the twelve 
weeks ended December 17, 1997, 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.

          As of December 17, 1997, the Company had borrowed $30,000,000 under 
the Senior Note Agreement.  As of December 17, 1997, outstanding borrowings 
under the Senior Note Agreement bear interest at an average fixed rate of 
7.6%. The Revolving Credit Agreement extends to December 1998, with interest 
rates based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points or the prime rate, at the election 
of the Company.  The amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement 
was $2,000,000 as of December 17, 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.

                         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 twelve weeks ended December 18, 1996 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 basic 
and diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share:
