FLAGSTAR COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1994
(Unaudited)


Note 1.  Introduction.

     Flagstar Companies, Inc. ("FCI" or, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is the holding company parent of Flagstar Corporation ("Flagstar"). 
Flagstar, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Denny's Holdings, Inc., Spartan
Holdings, Inc. and Canteen Holdings, Inc. (and their respective subsidiaries),
operates four restaurant chains and a contract food and vending and recreation
services business.


Note 2.  Interim Period Presentation.

     The Statements of Consolidated Operations of FCI and its subsidiaries for
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 include all adjustments
management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for such interim periods.   All such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.


Note 3.  Divestiture of Canteen Holdings, Inc.

     On April 27, 1994, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
agreement to sell its food and vending subsidiary for $450.0 million. 
Concurrently, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of the remaining concession
and recreation services businesses of its subsidiary, Canteen Holdings, Inc. 
The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Consolidation Operations and
Cash Flows for 1993 have been reclassified to reflect such businesses as
discontinued operations.

     The anticipated sale of the food and vending subsidiary is expected to
result in a gain in the Company's second quarter.  The dispositions of the
concession and recreation services businesses are expected to occur within 12
months and are expected to result in gains in the period of disposal.

     The Company has allocated to the discontinued segment a pro-rata portion
of its interest expense of $12.3 million and $11.1 million for the quarters
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results
        of Operations



     The following discussion is intended to highlight significant changes in
financial position as of March 31, 1994 and the results of operations for the
first quarter of 1994 as compared to the corresponding 1993 period.

     The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the related Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both
of which are contained in the Flagstar Companies, Inc. 1993 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.


Liquidity And Capital Resources


     At March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had working capital
deficits of $206.3 million and $169.8 million, respectively.  The increase is
attributable primarily to increases in accrued interest and dividends related
to the timing of interest payments and a reduction in the carrying value of the
Company's net assets held for sale due to a net loss and an excess of receipts
over advances from Canteen Holdings, Inc. during the first quarter of 1994. 
The Company also reduced its accrued liability for restructuring by $4.3
million at March 31, 1994 in comparison to December 31, 1993 primarily as a
result of severance and relocation payments made in the first quarter of 1994. 
The Company is able to operate with a substantial working capital deficiency
because (i) restaurant operations and most other food service operations are
conducted primarily on a cash (and cash equivalent) basis with a low level of
accounts receivable, (ii) rapid turnover allows a limited investment in
inventories and (iii) accounts payable for food, beverages and supplies usually
become due after the receipt of cash from the related sales.

     On April 27, 1994, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
agreement to sell its food and vending subsidiary, which is owned by Canteen
Holdings, Inc., for total consideration of $450.0 million.  After payment of
expenses and income taxes applicable to the transaction, the Company intends to
use a portion of the remaining proceeds to reduce the borrowings outstanding
under its Restated Credit Agreement.  In addition, the Company intends to sell
its food and recreation services subsidiaries which are also owned by Canteen
Holdings, Inc. Such transactions are expected to be consummated within twelve
months.  The net cash proceeds from these transactions are expected to be used
to reinvest in its present businesses by improving or expanding its restaurant
facilities and to reduce debt.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1993


     Operating revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter
increased by approximately $33.5 million (5.6%) as compared with the same
period in 1993.  Denny's revenues increased by $17.9 million (5.1%).  This
increase at Denny's was primarily attributable to increased revenues from
distribution operations resulting from Denny's sales of $12.1 million to
Canteen, a discontinued segment.  Average unit sales for Denny's were unchanged
in the first quarter of 1994 in comparison to the same quarter of 1993
reflecting an increase in average check of 7.2% which was offset by a decrease
in traffic of 6.7%.  The decline in traffic was due to reduced discounting in
the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1993, a
comparative 1993 period which included breakfast promotions, and severe winter
weather during the first quarter of 1994.  The reduction in discounting and
trade-ups to higher priced menu items in the first quarter of 1994 resulted in
the increase in average check.  The number of Company-owned Denny's decreased
by 8 units at March 31, 1994 as compared with March 31, 1993 primarily as a
result of the sale of 13 Company-operated restaurants to a franchisee on March
30, 1994.  Hardee's revenues increased by $9.9 million to $161.1 million during
the first quarter of 1994 as compared with the same period of 1993, primarily
as a result of the net addition of 38 new restaurants.  Hardee's increase in
average check of 2.4% during the first quarter of 1994 in comparison to the
first quarter of 1993 was more than offset by a 3.0% decrease in traffic
resulting in a decrease in average unit sales of 0.6%.  The first quarter of
1994 at Hardee's included heavy discounting by competitors in the market
segment.  Quincy's revenues of $67.5 million in the first quarter of 1994 were
flat as compared to the first quarter of 1993.  Average unit sales at Quincy's
increased 2.1% during the 1994 quarter and are the result of an increase in
average check of 5.7% which was mitigated, in part, by a decrease in traffic of
3.4%.  Revenues of El Pollo Loco, which account for only 5.0% of total
restaurant operating revenues, increased by $5.8 million during the first
quarter of 1994 over the same period of 1993 as a result of a 21-unit increase
in Company-owned restaurants offset by a 25-unit decrease in franchised and
international units.  Average unit sales for El Pollo Loco increased 7.2%
during the first quarter of 1994 over the same period of 1993 and include
increases in traffic of 6.9% and in average check of 0.3%.  The majority of the
21-unit increase in Company- operated restaurants was due to the acquisition of
high-volume franchise units during the fourth quarter of 1993.

                                                                      FORM 10-Q


     The Company's operating expenses increased by $21.8 million (3.9%) in the
first quarter of 1994 as compared with the same period of 1993.  A significant
portion of this increase is attributable to an increase in operating expenses
at Denny's ($13.2 million) and at Hardee's ($7.5 million).  Operating expenses
at Quincy's decreased by $3.4 million.  The increase in operating expenses at
Denny's is due primarily to increased revenues and is comprised principally of
an increase in product costs of $16.9 million and an increase in payroll and
benefits expense of $5.9 million and also reflects reduced depreciation and
amortization charges of $5.7 million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of
assets.  Denny's operating expenses during the first quarter of 1994 also
reflect a gain of approximately $3.4 million related to the sale of 13
Company-owned restaurants to a franchisee on March 30, 1994.  The increase in
operating expenses at Hardee's is also due primarily to increased revenues and
consists principally of an increase in payroll and benefits expense of $3.8
million, an increase in product costs of $3.7 million and an increase in
occupancy expenses of $1.0 million, and also reflects reduced depreciation and
amortization charges of $1.8 million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of
assets.   Conversely, the $3.4 million decrease in operating expenses at
Quincy's is attributable to the decrease in revenues and consists principally
of a decrease in product costs of $0.6 million and a decrease in payroll and
benefits expenses of $0.3 million, together with reduced depreciation and
amortization charges of $2.2 million related to the year-end 1993 write-off of
assets.  Corporate and other expenses increased by $0.9 million due primarily
to an increase in payroll and benefits expense of $0.3 million and an increase
in occupancy expenses of $0.3 million, and also reflects reduced depreciation
and amortization charges of $0.5 million related to the year-end 1993 write-off
of assets.

     Interest and debt expense increased by $1.5 million in the first quarter
of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993, primarily due to an increase in
cash interest of $1.9 million.  This increase is attributable to the higher
fixed interest rates which accrued during the 1994 quarter on the $400.0
million of senior notes and senior subordinated debentures which were issued
during the third quarter of 1993 to refinance a portion of the Company's bank
facility which accrued interest at lower variable rates.  Such increases were
offset, in part, by lower interest rates charged on the Company's remaining
variable rate indebtedness during the 1994 quarter in comparison to the prior
year quarter.  The increase in cash interest was offset, in part, by a
reduction in non-cash interest expense of $0.4 million resulting primarily from
reduced amortization of deferred financing costs.  This reduction relates to
the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the
prepayment of a portion of the Company's indebtedness under its bank facility
in September 1993.

     The Company's contract food and vending and recreation services businesses
which are accounted for as discontinued operations included operating revenues
of $314.0 million during the first quarter of 1994, an increase of $27.8 million
(9.7%) over the same period of 1993.  The increase in revenues includes a $23.4
million (9.6%) increase in the food and vending segment of Canteen primarily due
to revenues from acquisitions consummated during 1993.  The revenues from the
concession and recreation services operations increased by $4.4 million (10.1%)
to $47.6 million during the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same period
of 1993.  Operating expenses for Canteen's contract food and vending and
recreation services businesses increased by $26.6 million primarily due to
increases in product cost of $11.5 million and payroll and benefits expense of
$10.9 million, respectively.
