NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 17, 1994
1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any
other interim period or for the full year. The Company reports results
quarterly with the first quarter having 16 weeks and each remaining quarter
having 12 weeks. Certain financial statement reclassifications have been
made in the prior year to conform to the current year presentation.
Additionally, the prior year financial statements have been restated to
reflect the Company's adoption as of September 28, 1992 of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes". These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the 1993 financial statements.
2. The income tax benefit for 1994 was 32% of the pretax loss. Income taxes in
1993 were 33% of pretax earnings before the cumulative effect of changes in
accounting principles, and reflect the restatement for the annualized effect
of adopting SFAS No. 109.
3. On January 27, 1994, Foodmaker, Apollo Advisors, L.P. ("Apollo") and Green
Equity Investors, L.P. ("GEI"), whose general partner is Leonard Green &
Partners, (collectively, the "Investors"), acquired Restaurant Enterprises
Group, Inc. ("REGI"), a company that owns, operates and franchises various
restaurant chains including El Torito, Carrows and Coco's.
Contemporaneously, REGI changed its name to Family Restaurants, Inc.
("FRI"). Concurrently, Foodmaker contributed its entire Chi-Chi's Mexican
restaurant chain to FRI in exchange for an approximate 40% equity interest
in FRI, valued at $62 million, a five-year warrant to acquire 111,111
additional shares at $240 per share, which would increase its equity
interest to 46%, and approximately $173 million in cash ($208 million less
the face amount of Chi-Chi's debt assumed, aggregating approximately $35
million). Apollo and GEI, respectively, contributed $62 million and $29
million in cash and hold approximate 40% and 18.4% equity positions in FRI.
Management of FRI invested $2.5 million in cash and notes and holds an
approximate 1.6% equity position. A portion of the net cash received was
used by Foodmaker to repay all of the debt outstanding under its then
existing bank credit facility, which has been terminated. It is expected
that the balance of proceeds will be used to reduce other existing debt, to
the extent permitted by the Company's financing agreements, and to provide
funds for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Company
does not anticipate receiving dividends on its FRI common stock in the
foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is restricted by FRI's public
debt instruments.
Summarized FRI financial information for the two months from the date of the
acquisition through March 27, 1994, the end of its first quarter, follows

4. In early January 1994, the Company entered into financing lease arrangements
with two limited partnerships, (the "Partnerships"), in which estates for
years relating to 42 existing and approximately 34 to-be-constructed
restaurants were sold. The acquisition of the properties, including costs
and expenses, was funded through the issuance by a special purpose
corporation acting as agent for the Partnerships of $70 million senior
secured notes, having interest payable semi-annually and due in two equal
annual installments of principal beginning November 1, 2002. The Company is
required semi-annually through year nine to make payments to a trustee of
approximately $3.4 million and special payments of approximately $.7
million, which effectively cover interest and sinking fund requirements,
respectively, on the notes. At the end of years nine and ten, the Company
must make rejectable offers to reacquire 50% of the properties at each date
at a price which is sufficient, in conjunction with previous sinking fund
deposits, to retire the notes. If the Partnerships reject the offers, the
Company may purchase the properties at less than fair market value or cause
the Partnerships to fund the remaining principal payments on the notes and,
at the Company's option, cause the Partnerships to acquire the Company's
residual interest in the properties. If the Partnerships are allowed to
retain the estates for years, the Company has available options to extend
the leases for total terms of up to 35 years, at which time the ownership
of the property will revert to the Company. The transactions are reflected
as financings with the properties remaining in the Company's financial
statements. As a result of the foregoing transaction, at April 17, 1994,
the Company had approximately $28 million in construction funds available
for new restaurants, which was classified in the financial statements in
other assets.
5. Long-term debt has changed as a result of the aforementioned transactions as

6. Contingent Liabilities
Various claims and legal proceedings are pending against the Company in
various state and Federal courts; many of those proceedings are in the
states of Washington, Nevada and Idaho and in Federal Court, Western
District of Washington at Seattle seeking monetary damages and other relief
relating to the outbreak of food-borne illness (the "Outbreak") attributed
to hamburgers served at Jack In The Box restaurants. The Company, in
consultation with its insurance carriers and attorneys, does not anticipate
that the total liability on all such lawsuits and claims will exceed the
coverage available under its applicable insurance policies.

(Continued)
Actions were filed on July 2, 1993, in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Diego, by certain of the Company's franchisees against the
Company, The Vons Companies, Inc., ("Vons") and other suppliers (Syed Ahmad,
et al, versus Foodmaker, Inc., et al), claiming damages from reduced sales
and profits due to the Outbreak. After extensive negotiations, settlements
were reached with all but one of the franchisees. During 1993, the Company
provided approximately $44.5 million to cover the settlements and associated
costs, including a then anticipated settlement with the remaining
franchisee.
On January 14, 1994, the non-settling Franchisee filed two substantially
identical suits against the Company and The Vons Companies in Superior Court
of California, County of San Diego and in Federal Court, Southern District
of California (Ira Fischbein, et al versus Foodmaker, Inc., et al) claiming
damages from reduced sales, lost profits and reduced value of the franchise
due to the Outbreak. The Company has engaged legal counsel and is
vigorously defending the actions.
The Company on July 19, 1993, filed a cross-complaint against Vons and other
suppliers seeking reimbursement for all damages, costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the Outbreak. On or about January 18, 1994, Vons filed
a cross complaint against Foodmaker and others in this action alleging
certain contractual and tort liabilities and seeking damages in unspecified
amounts and a declaration of the rights and obligations of the parties.
In April 1993, a class action, In re Foodmaker, Inc./Jack In The Box
Securities Litigation, was filed in Federal Court, Western District of
Washington at Seattle against the Company, its Chairman, and the President
of the Jack In The Box Division on behalf of all persons who acquired the
Company's common stock between March 4, 1992 and January 22, 1993 seeking
damages in an unspecified amount as well as punitive damages. In general
terms, the complaint alleges that there were false and misleading statements
in the Company's March 4, 1992 prospectus and in certain public statements
and filings in 1992 and 1993, including claims that the defendants
disseminated false information regarding the Company's food quality
standards and internal quality control procedures. The Company has engaged
legal counsel and is vigorously defending the action.
The amount of liability from the claims and actions described above cannot
be determined with certainty, but in the opinion of management, based in
part upon advice from legal counsel, the ultimate liability from all pending
legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims
which are probable of assertion will not materially affect the consolidated
financial position or operations of the Company.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") had proposed adjustments to tax
liabilities of $17 million (exclusive of interest) for the Company's federal
income tax returns for fiscal years 1986 through 1988. A final report has
not been issued but agreement has been reached to satisfy these proposed
adjustments at approximately $1.3 million (exclusive of $.8 million
interest). The IRS examinations of the Company's federal income tax returns
for fiscal years 1989 and 1990 resulted in the issuance of proposed
adjustments to tax liabilities aggregating $2.2 million (exclusive of $.7
million interest). The Company has filed a protest with the Regional Office
of Appeals of the IRS contesting the proposed assessments. Management
believes that adequate provision for income taxes has been made.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All comparisons under this heading between 1994 and 1993, unless otherwise
indicated, refer to the 12-week and 28-week periods ended April 17, 1994 and
April 11, 1993, respectively. On January 27, 1994, the Company contributed its
entire Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain ("Chi-Chi's") to Family Restaurants,
Inc. ("FRI") in exchange for an approximate 40% interest in FRI and other
consideration including cash and debt assumption as described in Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated statements of operations,
therefore, include Chi-Chi's results of operations only for the 16 weeks (first
fiscal quarter) ended in January 1994, and for both the 12-week and 28-week
periods ended in 1993.
Sales by Jack In The Box Company-operated restaurants increased $38.2
million and $16.0 million, respectively, to $165.0 million and $376.1 million
in 1994 from $126.8 million and $360.1 million in 1993. The sales
improvement is primarily due to an increase in the average number of
Company-operated restaurants to 740 in 1994 from 715 in 1993 and due in part
to increases in per store average sales for comparable restaurants ("PSA") of
approximately 23% and 2%, respectively, in 1994 as compared to 1993. The PSA
increase results primarily from a recovery of sales in 1994 in comparison to
the depressed levels subsequent to January 1993 when Jack In The Box was
linked to an outbreak of food-borne illness in the Pacific Northwest ("the
Outbreak"). Chi-Chi's restaurant sales were $123.3 million in the first
quarter of 1994 and $90.5 million and $208.9 million, respectively, in the
12-week and 28-week periods of 1993.
Distribution sales of food and supplies increased approximately $25 million
in both periods to $45.1 million and $80.0 million, respectively, in 1994 from
$20.3 million and $55.1 million in 1993. The increases are primarily due to
sales of $21.3 million to Chi-Chi's (FRI) restaurants, which were previously
eliminated as intercompany sales, and in part due to a $3.5 million increase in
sales to Jack In The Box franchisees and others.
Jack In The Box franchise rents and royalties increased to $7.5 million and
$18.4 million, respectively, in 1994 from $5.7 million and $17.8 million in 1993
principally due to PSA increases at franchisee-operated operated Jack In The Box
restaurants, which were also affected negatively by the Outbreak in 1993.
Franchise rents and royalties for Chi-Chi's were $.1 million in the first
quarter of 1994 and $.2 million and $.7 million, respectively, in the 12-week
and 28-week periods of 1993.
Other revenues for Jack In The Box increased $.4 million to $1.0 million
from $.6 million for the 12-week period primarily due to interest income earned
on cash proceeds from the sale of Chi-Chi's, and declined $1.6 million to $1.8
million from $3.4 million for the 28-week period due to the decline in the
number of conversions of Company-operated restaurants to franchised restaurants
to 4 in 1994 from 9 in 1993, resulting in reduced gains and fees. Chi-Chi's
other revenues were $.6 million in the first quarter of 1994 and $.8 million and
$2.2 million, respectively, in the 12-week and 28-week periods of 1993.
Jack In The Box costs of sales increased to $48.7 million and $112.0
million, respectively, in 1994 from $37.5 million and $104.3 million in 1993
principally due to the variable costs associated with higher sales. Costs of
sales also increased as a percent of sales in 1994 as compared to 1993 due to
the impact of higher ingredient costs not offset by price increases and the
higher proportional food cost of certain discount promotions which have
increased average customer checks to a level higher than any other quarter
since the Outbreak. Chi-Chi's costs of sales were $32.7 million in 1994 and
$23.8 million and $54.6 million, respectively, in the 12-week and 28-week
periods of 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Restaurant operating costs for Jack In The Box increased $13.7 million and
$12.4 million, respectively, to $96.5 million and $217.3 million in 1994 from
$82.8 million and $204.9 million in 1993 primarily due to the variable costs
associated with increased sales, and in part due to higher occupancy and other
operating costs. The higher occupancy costs are the result of increases in the
number of new leased properties and the sale and leaseback of existing
properties. As a result of the increase in average sales in 1994, restaurant
operating costs represent a lower percent of sales for the 12-week period in
1994 in comparison to the similar period of 1993. Chi-Chi's restaurant
operating costs were $80.7 million in the first quarter of 1994 and $57.6
million and $130.2 million, respectively, in the 12-week and 28-week periods of
1993.
Costs of distribution sales increased approximately $24 million in both
periods to $43.8 million and $77.1 million in 1994 from $19.6 million and $53.0
million in 1993, consistent with the increase in distribution sales.
Jack In The Box franchise restaurant costs, which consist primarily of rents
and depreciation on properties leased to franchisees, decreased to $5.1 million
and $12.2 million, respectively, in 1994 from $10.0 million and $16.8 million
in 1993 primarily due to the elimination of assistance provided to franchisees
in 1993. Chi-Chi's franchise restaurant costs were $.2 million in the first
quarter of 1994 and $.1 million and $.3 million, respectively, in the 12-week
and 28-week periods of 1993.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for Jack In The Box decreased
to $23.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, in 1994 from $25.4 million and
$51.9 million in 1993, principally due to (1) a $5.7 million gain recognized
from the sale of Chi-Chi's, (2) a decrease in write-offs associated with normal
asset disposals, offset by (3) $2.0 million in severance expenses and associated
costs resulting from the elimination of approximately 80 administrative
positions, and (4) a charge of $3.5 million principally for the write-down of
assets to net realizable values and providing for costs of closing seven older,
under-performing restaurants with short remaining lease terms. Chi-Chi's
incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.1 million in the
first quarter of 1994 and $8.4 million and $18.2 million, respectively, in the
12-week and 28-week periods of 1993.
Interest expense for the 12-week period decreased $.5 million to $12.4
million from $12.9 million due to the repayment of $79 million of bank debt
offset partially by the addition of an approximate $70 million finance lease
obligation, and increased $.7 million for the 28-week period to $30.8 million
in 1994 from $30.1 million in 1993 due to interest related to prior year tax
audits.
Income tax benefit was 24% and 32%, respectively, of pretax loss in 1994,
and 33% of pretax loss for both periods in 1993. The U.S. Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") had proposed adjustments to tax liabilities of $17 million
(exclusive of interest) for the Company's federal income tax returns for
fiscal years 1986 through 1988. A final report has not been issued but
agreement has been reached to satisfy these proposed adjustments at
approximately $1.3 million (exclusive of $.8 million interest). The IRS
examinations of the Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years
1989 and 1990 resulted in the issuance of proposed adjustments to tax
liabilities aggregating $2.2 million (exclusive of $.7 million interest).
The Company has filed a protest with the Regional Office of Appeals of the
IRS contesting the proposed assessments. Management believes that adequate
provision for income taxes has been made.
Effective September 28, 1992, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits",
and No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". As a result, the Company reported
in 1993 a $54.0 million cumulative effect to September 27, 1992 of these changes
in accounting principles, $10.2 million relating to SFAS 106 and $43.8 million
relating to SFAS 109.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations,
funds available from the finance lease transaction described below and the sale
and leaseback of restaurant properties. An additional potential source of
liquidity is the conversion of Company-operated Jack In The Box restaurants to
franchised restaurants. The Company requires capital principally to construct
new restaurants, to maintain, improve and refurbish existing restaurants, and
for general corporate purposes.
At April 17, 1994, the Company's working capital had increased $110.1
million to $.3 million from a working capital deficit of $109.8 million at
October 3, 1993, due primarily to net cash proceeds received from the sale of
Chi-Chi's, after the repayment of bank debt. The Company's working capital
position was also improved by the recognition of tax benefits and partial
payment of franchisee settlements and associated costs. The restaurant
business does not require the maintenance of significant receivables or
inventories, and it is common to receive trade credit from vendors for
purchases such as supplies. In addition, the Company, and generally the
industry, continually invests it its business through the addition of new
units and refurbishment of existing units, which are reflected as long-term
assets and not as part of working capital.
At April 17, 1994, the Company's total debt outstanding was $476.5 million.
In early January 1994, the Company completed financing arrangements (see Note
3 to the consolidated financial statements), which added an approximate $70
million finance lease obligation to the Company's debt, enabling the Company to
repay approximately $28 million in bank borrowings, fund existing capital
expenditures and establish a construction fund of approximately $28 million for
new restaurants. With the sale of Chi-Chi's on January 27, 1994, the Company
reduced its outstanding debt, including full repayment of all bank borrowings
and termination of the bank credit facility, and had approximately $80 million
in cash on hand at April 17, 1994. Substantially all of the Company's real
estate and machinery and equipment is, and is expected to continue to be,
pledged to its lenders.
Based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, the Company
expects that sufficient cash flow will be generated from operations so that,
combined with other financing alternatives available to it, including the
utilization of cash on hand, cash in the construction fund referred to above and
the sale and leaseback of restaurants, the Company will be able to meet all of
its debt service requirements, as well as its capital expenditures and working
capital requirements, for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company is
seeking a new bank credit facility to provide an additional source of funds for
the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
There is no information required to be reported for any items under Part II,
except as follows:
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Various claims and legal proceedings are pending against the Company in
various state and Federal courts; many of those proceedings are in the states
of Washington, Nevada and Idaho and in Federal Court, Western District of
Washington at Seattle seeking monetary damages and other relief relating to
the Outbreak attributed to hamburgers served at Jack In The Box restaurants.
The Company, in consultation with its insurance carriers and attorneys, does
not anticipate that the total liability on all such lawsuits and claims will
exceed the coverage available under its applicable insurance policies.
Actions were filed on July 2, 1993, in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Diego, by certain of the Company's franchisees against the
Company, The Vons Companies, Inc., ("Vons") and other suppliers (Syed Ahmad, et
al, versus Foodmaker, Inc., et al), claiming damages from reduced sales and
profits due to the Outbreak. After extensive negotiations, settlements were
reached with all but one of the franchisees. During 1993, the Company provided
approximately $44.5 million to cover the settlements and associated costs,
including a then anticipated settlement with the remaining franchisee. On
January 14, 1994, the non-settling Franchisee filed two substantially identical
suits against the Company and The Vons Companies in Superior Court of
California, County of San Diego and in Federal Court, Southern District of
California (Ira Fischbein, et al versus Foodmaker, Inc., et al) claiming damages
from reduced sales, lost profits and reduced value of the franchise due to the
Outbreak. The Company has engaged legal counsel and is vigorously defending the
actions.
The Company on July 19, 1993, filed a cross-complaint against Vons and other
suppliers seeking reimbursement for all damages, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Outbreak. On or about January 18, 1994, Vons filed a cross
complaint against Foodmaker and others in this action alleging certain
contractual and tort liabilities and seeking damages in unspecified amounts and
a declaration of the rights and obligations of the parties.
In April 1993, a class action, In re Foodmaker, Inc./Jack In The Box
Securities Litigation, was filed in Federal Court, Western District of
Washington at Seattle against the Company, its Chairman, and the President of
the Jack In The Box Division on behalf of all persons who acquired the Company's
common stock between March 4, 1992 and January 22, 1993 seeking damages in an
unspecified amount as well as punitive damages. In general terms, the complaint
alleges that there were false and misleading statements in the Company's
March 4, 1992 prospectus and in certain public statements and filings in 1992
and 1993, including claims that the defendants disseminated false information
regarding the Company's food quality standards and internal quality control
procedures. The Company has engaged legal counsel and is vigorously defending
the action.
The amount of liability from the claims and actions described above cannot
be determined with certainty, but in the opinion of management, based in part
upon advice from legal counsel, the ultimate liability from all pending legal
proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are
probable of assertion will not materially affect the consolidated financial
position or operations of the Company.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") had proposed adjustments to tax
liabilities of $17 million (exclusive of interest) for the Company's federal
income tax returns for fiscal years 1986 through 1988. A final report has not
been issued but agreement has been reached to satisfy these proposed adjustments
at approximately $1.3 million (exclusive of $.8 million interest). The IRS
examinations of the Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1989
and 1990 resulted in the issuance of proposed adjustments to tax liabilities
aggregating $2.2 million (exclusive of $.7 million interest). The Company has
filed a protest with the Regional Office of Appeals of the IRS contesting the
proposed assessments. Management believes that adequate provision for income
taxes has been made.
