                   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 5, 2000, the consolidated statements of earnings
for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 5, 2000 and July 7, 1999 and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000 and
July 7, 1999 have been included.

     The consolidated statements of earnings for the twelve and forty weeks
ended July 5, 2000 and July 7, 1999 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 29, 1999.

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 5, 2000 and
July 7, 1999 amounted to $1,718,000 and $1,708,000, respectively. Cash payments
for income taxes during the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000 and July 7, 1999
amounted to $5,761,000 and $5,730,000, respectively.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING

     During 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-up Activities" retroactive to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
new accounting standard requires the Company to expense all pre-opening costs as
they are incurred. The Company previously deferred such costs and amortized them
over the one-year period following the opening of each restaurant. The
cumulative effect of this change in accounting, net of income tax benefit, of
$1,750,000 ($0.06 per diluted share) was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
1999.

STOCK DIVIDEND

     The number of shares issued as of July 5, 2000 include 2,659,929 shares
which were distributed on January 12, 2000 pursuant to a 10% stock dividend
declared on December 15, 1999 to shareholders of record on December 29, 1999.
Net earnings per common and common equivalent share and weighted average shares
and equivalents for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 7, 1999 have been
restated to give effect to the 10% stock dividend.

NET EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

     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.

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

COMPARISON OF TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 5, 2000 TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JULY 7, 1999

REVENUES

     Net sales increased $12,943,000 to $100,032,000, or 14.9%, due to an
increase in Steak n Shake's net sales. The $12,947,000 increase, or 15.5%, in
net sales of Steak n Shake was due to the opening of new units within the last
year pursuant to the Company's expansion plan (non-same stores) and a 1.9%
increase in same store sales. Same store sales have trended up for 10
consecutive quarters. The number of Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants
increased 16% to 302 at July 5, 2000 as compared to 260 at July 7, 1999. The
increase in same store sales was attributable to a 4.5% increase in check
average, partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in customer counts. Steak n Shake
instituted menu price increases of approximately 3.0% in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999, 1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 2.4% late in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
     Cost of sales increased $2,681,000, or 12.2%, primarily as a result of
sales increases. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 24.6%
from 25.2%, primarily as a result of the menu price increases.


                                       8

<PAGE>

     Restaurant operating costs increased $7,286,000, or 17.8%, due to an
increase in labor costs and other operating costs resulting primarily from the
increased sales volume. Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage of net
sales, increased to 48.2% from 47.0%. An increase in restaurant management
staffing levels and a 2.6% increase in wage rates arising from tight labor
markets also contributed to higher labor costs. The increased manager staffing
levels and manager recruiting and training costs reflect the progress made
towards the Company's goal to increase management quality and staffing levels to
develop the bench strength to support the Company's growth program and
anticipate management staffing needs arising from turnover.

     General and administrative expenses increased $1,459,000, or 25.3%. The
increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs, which included
costs for additional recruiting, training and management support personnel in
connection with the development of new restaurants and the Company's intensified
management programs, and other costs resulting from the increased number of
restaurants. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
increase to 7.1% from 6.5%.

     The $549,000, or 17.0%, increase in depreciation and amortization expense
was attributable to the net depreciable capital additions over the past year.

     Rent expense increased $768,000, or 22.9%, primarily as a result of the
completion of the sale and leaseback of twenty-four Company-owned properties
since the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Marketing expense increased $568,000, or 25.5%, due to increased costs of
television advertising in existing markets and outdoor media costs. As a
percentage of revenues, marketing expense increased to 2.8% from 2.5%.

     Pre-opening costs decreased $1,169,000, or 54.6%, due to fewer store
openings in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999 and
lower per unit pre-opening costs in fiscal 2000.

INCOME TAXES
     The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 35.4% from 35.5% for
the quarter ended July 5, 2000.

NET EARNINGS
     Net earnings were $6,006,000 ($.21 per diluted share) up 9.5% compared to
prior year.

COMPARISON OF FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 5, 2000 TO FORTY WEEKS ENDED JULY 7, 1999

REVENUES
     Net sales increased $45,589,000 to $312,931,000, or 17.1%, due to an
increase in Steak n Shake's net sales. The increase of $45,425,000, or 17.8% 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) and a 3.0% increase in same store
sales. The number of Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants increased 16% to
302 at July 5, 2000 as compared to 260 at July 7, 1999. The increase in same
store sales was attributable to a 4.6% increase in check average, partially
offset by a 1.6% decrease in customer counts. Steak n Shake instituted menu
price increases of approximately 1.0% and 3.0% in the second and fourth
quarters, respectively, of fiscal 1999 and 1% in the second quarter of fiscal
2000. A 2.4% menu price increase was also instituted late in the third quarter
of fiscal 2000.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
     Cost of sales increased $8,931,000, or 13.1%, primarily as a result of
sales increases. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 24.6%
from 25.5%, primarily as a result of menu price increases.

     Restaurant operating costs increased $26,555,000, or 21.2%, due to an
increase in labor costs and other operating costs resulting primarily from the
increased sales volume and manager staffing levels and manager recruiting and
training costs over the prior year. Restaurant operating costs, as a percentage
of net sales, increased to 48.5% from 46.9%. As discussed previously, the
increased manager staffing levels and manager recruiting and training costs
reflect the significant progress made towards the Company's goal to increase
management quality and staffing levels to develop the bench strength to support
the Company's growth program and anticipate management staffing needs arising
from turnover. A 4.4% increase in wage rates arising from tight labor markets
also contributed to higher labor costs.

<PAGE>

     General and administrative expenses increased $4,143,000, or 21.2%. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 7.4%
from 7.2%. The increase in expenses was attributable to personnel related costs,
which included costs for additional recruiting, training and management support
personnel in connection with the development of new restaurants and the
Company's intensified management programs, and other costs resulting from the
increased number of restaurants.

     The $1,912,000, or 18.4%, increase in depreciation and amortization expense
was attributable to the net depreciable capital additions since the beginning of
fiscal 1999.

     Rent expense increased $2,403,000, or 22.9%, as a result of the completion
of the sale and leaseback of thirty-five Company-owned properties since the
beginning of fiscal 1999.

     Marketing expense increased $1,197,000, or 14.9%, due to increased costs of
television advertising in existing markets and outdoor media costs. As a
percentage of revenues, marketing expense decreased to 2.9% from 3.0%.

     The $1,385,000 decrease in the pre-opening costs is primarily attributable
to lower per unit pre-opening costs in fiscal 2000.

     Interest expense decreased $131,000 due to higher capitalized interest
resulting from increased capital expenditures.

     The Company recorded a one-time, nonrecurring charge of $1,600,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 related to the settlement of a lawsuit with Pepsi
-Cola Company.

INCOME TAXES
     The Company's effective income tax rate remained constant at 35.9% for the
forty weeks ended July 5, 2000.

CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR PRE-OPENING COSTS
     During 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-up Activities" retroactive to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
new accounting standard requires the Company to expense all pre-opening costs as
they are incurred. The Company previously deferred such costs and amortized them
over the one-year period following the opening of each restaurant. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting for pre-opening costs, net of
income tax benefit, of $1,750,000 ($0.06 per diluted share) was recorded in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999.

NET EARNINGS
     Net earnings were $16,417,000, ($.56 per share), up 35.1% compared to the
prior year. Excluding the effect of the settlement of the Pepsi litigation and
the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for pre-opening costs, net
earnings increased 10%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Twenty-six Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants and two franchised
Steak n Shake restaurants were opened during the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000.
Two old, underperforming Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants were closed
during the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000. Subsequent to the end of the third
quarter, five Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurants, including one
franchised were opened. Thirteen Steak n Shake restaurants, including two
franchised units, are currently under construction. For the forty weeks ended
July 5, 2000, capital expenditures totaled $53,974,000 as compared to
$47,849,000 for the comparable prior year period.

     The Company expects to open 38 Steak n Shake restaurants in fiscal year
2000. The Company's five-year controlled growth objective contemplates opening
300 additional Steak n Shake restaurants. The average cost of a new
Company-operated Steak n Shake restaurant, including land, site improvements,
building and equipment, was $1,480,000 during fiscal 1999. The Company intends
to fund capital expenditures and meet working capital needs using existing
resources and anticipated cash flows from operations, together with


                                       10

<PAGE>

additional capital generated by sale and leaseback transactions involving newly
acquired properties and bank borrowings.

     During the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000, cash provided by operations
totaled $28,852,000, while cash generated by sale and leaseback transactions and
other disposals of property totaled $17,960,000. During the forty weeks ended
July 5, 1999, cash provided by operations totaled $23,761,000, while cash
generated by sale and leaseback transactions and other disposals of property
totaled $13,608,000. The proceeds from sale and leaseback transactions and other
property disposals reflect the Company's continued use of sale and leaseback
financing.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the forty weeks ended July 5,
2000, totaled $7,266,000 compared to net cash provided of $767,000 in the
comparable prior period.

     As of July 5, 2000, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $27,216,000
under its $75,000,000 Senior Note Agreement and Private Shelf Facility the
"Senior Note Agreement"). Consequently, the Company has borrowings of
$47,784,000 available under the Senior Note Agreement over the period ending
April 21, 2002 at interest rates based upon market rates at the time of
borrowing. Borrowings under the Senior Note bear interest at an average fixed
rate of 7.5%.

     During the forty weeks ended July 5, 2000 the company had net borrowings of
$10,700,000 under its $30,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving
Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement totaled
$10,700,000 at July 5, 2000. The Company's Revolving Credit Agreement matures on
January 31, 2002 and bears interest based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points, or the
prime rate, at the election of the Company. 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 has a stock repurchase program which allows the purchase of up
to 2,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. During the forty weeks
ended July 5, 2000, the Company repurchased a total of 456,800 shares at a cost
of $4,542,000. The repurchased shares will be used in part to fund the Company's
Stock Option Plan, Capital Appreciation Plan and Employees' Stock Purchase Plan.

EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND INFLATION

     Since most of the Company's employees are paid hourly rates related to
federal and state minimum wage laws, increases in the legal minimum wage
directly increase the Company's operating costs. Inflation in food, labor and
other operating costs directly affects the Company's operations.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 1999,
the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133," which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133
until the Company's first quarter financial statements of fiscal 2001. The
Company currently believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Those statements include, but may not be limited to, the discussions of the
Company's expansion strategy, expectations concerning its future profitability,
capital sources and needs, marketing plans and franchising program. Investors in
the common stock are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statement
involves risks and uncertainties, and that although the Company believes that
the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a
result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be
incorrect. The uncertainties in this regard include, but are not limited to,
those identified above. In light of these and other


                                       11

<PAGE>

uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be
regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company's plans and
objectives will be achieved.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial
instruments is to changes in interest rates. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior
Note Agreement, the Company may from time to time issue notes in increments of
at least $5,000,000. The interest rate on the notes is based upon market rates
at the time of the borrowing. Once the interest rate is established at the time
of the initial borrowing, the interest rate remains fixed over the term of the
underlying note. The Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate based
upon LIBOR plus 75 basis points or the prime rate, at the election of the
Company. Historically, the Company has not used derivative financial instruments
to manage exposure to interest rate changes. At July 5, 2000, a hypothetical 100
basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have an immaterial
impact on the Company's earnings.

     The Company enters into commitments to purchase defined quantities of
certain food commodities at fixed prices based upon prevailing market prices at
that time. Purchase arrangements for items such as french fries, chili beans and
coffee contain contractual features that limit the price paid by establishing
certain price floors or caps and provides adequate supply for the Company's
forecasted needs. Since commodity price aberrations are generally short-term in
nature, the Company does not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices
because these purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid.
