EXHIBIT 99.2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Summit Family Restaurants Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit
Family Restaurants Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 26, 1994 and September
25, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
September 25, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of Summit's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Summit
Family Restaurants Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 26, 1994 and September
25, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended September 25, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements,
Summit changed its method of accounting for investments to adopt the provisions
of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED
MARCH 11, 1996 AND MARCH 13, 1995 IS UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summit Family
Restaurants Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
FISCAL YEAR
Summit utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year which ends on the last Monday in
September. Fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 contain 52 weeks.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of food, beverages and restaurant supplies and are
valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in first-out method, or
market.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Summit adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. As discussed in Note
6, Summit's investment in HomeTown Buffet, Inc. common stock is treated as an
available-for-sale security and is reported at fair market value in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains are shown as
a separate component of stockholders equity, net of tax.
Short term investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
(consisting primarily of certificates of deposits, with original maturities of
greater than three months) represent held-to-maturity securities, and
accordingly, have been stated at their cost.
PROPERTY, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
Property, buildings and equipment and real property under capitalized
leases are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over
the following useful lives: buildings and leaseholds -- lesser of lease life or
20 years; equipment -- 5 to 8 years; capitalized leases -- lesser of lease life
or 20 years.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Lease acquisition costs are amortized using the straight-line method over
the remaining terms of the leases, which range from 3 1/2 to 25 years. Other
intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated period of value, which ranges from 1 to 40 years.
At September 25, 1995 and September 26, 1994, accumulated amortization
totaled $1,913,000 and $1,901,000, respectively. At March 11, 1996 and March 13,
1995, accumulated amortization totaled $2,010,000 and $1,807,000, respectively.
PRE-OPENING COSTS
Pre-opening costs, which represent expenses incurred for hiring and
training personnel relating to new restaurants and expenses for promotion of new
store openings, are capitalized and amortized over the restaurant's first year
of operation.

(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED
MARCH 11, 1996 AND MARCH 13, 1995 IS UNAUDITED)
FRANCHISING REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Summit is a franchisor of JB's Restaurants and a franchisee of HomeTown
Buffet restaurants. Gains or losses on Company operated JB's Restaurants sold to
franchisees are recognized as a gain or loss in the period the transaction is
completed provided the down payment received from the franchisee represents 20%
or more of the total purchase price. Otherwise, the gain or loss is deferred and
recognized over the period of the franchise agreement. Initial franchise fees
received are recognized as revenue in the period the franchised restaurant
opens. Franchise royalty revenues and all franchising costs are recognized on
the accrual basis.
Initial franchise fee payments related to HomeTown Buffet restaurants are
amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the franchise
agreement. Royalty costs and all other franchise costs are recognized as expense
on the accrual basis.
PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS
Assets which have been identified for closure and held for sale are written
down to management's best estimate of realizable value, including related costs
of disposition.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of short-term liquid assets with original
maturities of 3 months or less.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or
expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A reserve is recorded
for net deferred tax assets that may not be realized in the future.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding during each period.
PRESENTATION
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

In August 1994, Summit accepted $2.5 million as full repayment of the note
receivable related to the sale of a combined restaurant and motel, resulting in
a loss of $1,564,000. The note had a principal and accrued interest balance of
$4.1 million and was due in October 1994. Summit had received no payments on the
note since January 1994 and elected to accept the lesser payment to eliminate
the risks of collection of the full amount and to generate cash for use in
restaurant operations.
Summit has 14 notes relating to the sales of restaurants to franchisees
which are unsecured or secured by receivables, inventory and equipment. Eleven
of the notes bear interest at 10.0%. Two notes bear interest at prime plus 3.0%
and another bears interest at prime plus 0.5%. Payments are made using a 15-year
amortization with 13 of the notes having a 5-year balloon payment and the other
note having a 10-year balloon payment.
During 1991, Summit entered into a lease with a franchisee on the land and
building for a new JB's Restaurant. Summit's net investment in the direct
financing lease is as follows (in thousands):

In November 1991, Summit invested $3.8 million with Americana Entertainment
Group, Inc., the predecessor of HomeTown Buffet, Inc. ("HTBB"), in exchange for
1,266,667 shares of convertible preferred stock. In July 1993, Summit sold
250,000 shares of its preferred stock investment in HTBB for $2.5 million,
resulting in a pre-tax gain of $1.7 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal
1993, HTBB concluded an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock and
commenced trading on NASDAQ under the symbol HTBB. At the completion of the IPO
the outstanding preferred stock automatically was converted to common stock.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1994, Summit exercised its option to
purchase 60,000 shares of HTBB common stock and HTBB announced a three for two
stock split increasing Summit's ownership of HTBB common stock to 1,585,000
shares. In the third quarter of fiscal 1994, Summit sold 1,056,780 shares of
HTBB common stock as a selling shareholder in HTBB's secondary public offering
for $16.8 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of $14.7 million. Summit's
remaining 528,220 shares of HTBB common stock at September 25, 1995, is pledged
as security on certain notes payable (see Notes 7 and 15).

During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, Summit elected early adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with SFAS No.
115, Summit's investment in the common stock of HTBB meets the definition of
available-for-sale securities and, as such, is reported at fair value. On
September 25, 1995 and November 3, 1995, the estimated fair value of Summit's
528,220 shares of HTBB common stock was $13.25 and $12.88 per share or $7.0
million and $6.8 million respectively. The unrealized gain of $3.6 million (net
of tax) at the fiscal 1995 year-end is recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
In addition, Summit has a franchise and exclusive area development
agreement with HomeTown Buffet, Inc., under which, as amended, Summit has the
exclusive rights to develop and operate HomeTown Buffet restaurants, as a
franchisee, in eight western states. Under the terms of the agreement, Summit is

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Summit has an employee stock ownership plan to which Summit contributes
funds as authorized by the Board of Directors. The plan has the authority to
purchase shares of Summit's common stock. All employees of Summit who have one
year of service and are over age 21 participate in the plan. Participant vesting
begins with the third year of participation in the plan at the rate of 20
percent per year. Funds contributed to the plan are used to retire debt
previously incurred, to pay participants who are entitled to benefits under the
plan and to purchase shares of Summit's common stock. Allocated shares within
the plan were 92,737 and 114,857 at September 25, 1995, and September 26, 1994,
respectively. Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan totaled $0,
$85,000 and $90,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, and $0
in the twenty-four week periods ended March 11, 1996 and March 13, 1995.
401(K) PLAN
Summit has a 401(k) plan covering all employees who have attained age 21
and completed one year of service. The plan allows participants to allocate up
to 10% of their annual compensation before taxes for investment in several
investment alternatives. From January 1, 1995, until September 25, 1995, and in
calendar 1994 and 1993, Summit made annual matching contributions of Summit's
stock to the employees' investment portfolio of up to 25% of the first 3% of
annual compensation contributed by the employee. An employee must be employed on
December 31 to receive a matching contribution. Summit provided contributions of
$26,000 and $27,000 in fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively, and Summit made
no contribution in fiscal 1993. On September 26, 1995, Summit suspended annual
matching contributions.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Summit has a deferred compensation plan covering the Chairman and certain
former executives, which requires payment upon retirement or disability. Under
the plan, participants receive benefits based upon a multiple of compensation
prior to retirement and years of service (not to exceed 50 percent of average
annual compensation for the highest five-year period) reduced for benefits
payable from Summit's profit sharing and employee stock ownership plans. Summit
expects that participation in the plan will be limited to those individuals with
previously approved deferred compensation agreements. Accruals for this plan
were $133,000,

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
On April 2, 1996, a Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") was executed between the Company and
CKE Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CKE"), pursuant to which the
Company will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKE with the Company being
the surviving entity. Consideration for the merger to be paid to the Company's
shareholders for each share of common stock will consist of $2.63 in cash and
.165 shares of CKE common stock, provided that the average CKE common stock
price is between $15.00 per share and $17.00 per share at the closing. If the
average CKE common stock price is higher than $17.00 or lower than $15.00 at the
closing, the exchange ratio will be adjusted accordingly. If the average CKE
common stock price is below $13.25, the exchange ratio may be adjusted at the
option of CKE. If CKE elects to not adjust the exchange ratio, Summit has the
right to terminate the agreement. In addition, the consideration may be
increased if CKE enters into agreements to sell certain assets and the total
consideration to be received by CKE exceeds a specified level. Any such increase
would be allocated one-half to the cash portion of the consideration and
one-half to the common stock portion of the consideration. The transaction is
conditioned upon the Company's shareholders approving the transaction and the
usual and customary conditions to closing, including, without limitation,
accuracy of the parties' representations and warranties, performance of the
parties' covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement and obtaining
proper consents of third parties as necessary.
CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS
The Company has change of control agreements with the President and seven
Senior Vice Presidents under which the Company may be obligated to pay benefits
in the event of a significant change in ownership of the Company.
Pursuant to these change of control agreements, the Company paid $1,236,000
to the President and four senior vice presidents upon their termination in April
1996. The Merger Agreement described above triggered a provision in the change
of control agreements that requires the Company to place in escrow accounts an
additional $450,000 for three additional senior vice presidents. Payment of
benefits is made upon involuntary termination of any or all of the three senior
vice presidents between the signing of the Merger Agreement and one year after
consummation of the merger or upon the voluntary termination of employment
during the second 90 days following consummation of the merger. The Company has
not yet funded these escrow accounts.
PREFERRED STOCK
On April 4, 1996, CKE purchased 946,714 shares of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") of the Company from ABS MB (JB) Limited
Partnership ("ABS") for $5.27 per share. The shares purchased by CKE represent
100% of the Company's issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, and approximately
16.5% of the Company's total issued and outstanding voting securities. On April
2, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors specifically approved the acquisition
of the Preferred Stock by CKE as part of the Second Amendment and also approved
a waiver of the Company's right of first refusal to purchase the Preferred
Stock. CKE also acquired ABS' rights under the Registration Rights Agreement
dated October 27, 1993 between the Company and ABS.
The holder of the Preferred Stock has the right to appoint two members to
the Company's Board of Directors. The two directors appointed by ABS, William L.
Paternotte and Frederick L. Bryant, have resigned

it is CKE's intention to fill the two vacancies on the Company's Board upon
consummation of the Merger Agreement, as amended.
LEASE COMMITMENT
In August 1994, the Company entered into a master lease agreement (the
"Agreement") to finance equipment for new HomeTown Buffet restaurants. The
agreement, among other things, required the Company to maintain minimum tangible
net worth of at least $40 million. On January 5, 1996, the master lease
agreement was amended to require a minimum tangible net worth of $33 million. In
exchange for this reduced covenant, the Company has deposited $365,000 with the
leasing company. This deposit is to be applied against payments due for the
final year of the lease subject to earlier release if certain financial
performance objectives are achieved.
