1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the
opinion of management contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of June 30, 1997, the results of operations for the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 and cash flows for
the six-months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997. These results have been
determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and
practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of
the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain 1996 amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. Operating
results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year. It is suggested that the accompanying consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
GIANT's investment in Rally's of $2,797 and $2,926 at June 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, represents approximately 15%
of Rally's outstanding common stock. At June 30, 1997, the Company
owned 3,137,000 shares of Rally's, the market value of which was
$8,235.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased
$2,224 face value of Rally's Senior Notes in the open market, which are
included in marketable securities.
On June 16, 1997, Checkers and Rally's announced that they had
ended talks for a proposed merger which was previously announced on
March 25, 1997.
Summarized financial information for Rally's is as follows:

3. YACHT REFINANCE
On May 16, 1997, the Company signed an agreement to
refinance one of its luxury yachts available for sale under the
Co-Ownership Program. The term of the mortgage is twenty-six months
from the date of advancement of funds, which occurred on May 30, and is
subject to prepayment upon the transfer of an interest in the yacht,
which is collateral for this loan. The interest rate is prime plus one
half of one percent (0.50%). Interest is payable monthly in arrears. In
July, the loan was paid in full.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In January and February 1994, two putative class action
lawsuits were filed, purportedly on behalf of the shareholders of
Rally's in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Kentucky, against Rally's, GIANT, Burt Sugarman, certain Rally's
present and former officers and directors and its auditors. The
complaints allege defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, among other claims, by issuing inaccurate public
statements about Rally's in order to arbitrarily inflate the price of
Rally's common stock, and seek unspecified damages, including punitive
damages. On April 15, 1994, Rally's filed a motion to dismiss and a
motion to strike. On April 5, 1995, the Court struck certain provisions
of the complaint but otherwise denied Rally's motion to dismiss. In
addition, the Court denied plaintiffs' motion for class certification;
the plaintiffs' renewed this motion, and, on April 16, 1996, the Court
certified the class. Two settlement conferences have been conducted but
have been unsuccessful. Discovery is now set to be completed in
September 1997. No trial date has been scheduled yet. Management is
unable to predict the outcome of this matter at the present time or
whether or not certain available insurance coverages will apply.
Rally's and the Company deny all wrong-doing and intend to defend
themselves vigorously in this matter.
In February 1996, Harbor commenced a derivative action,
purportedly on behalf of Rally's, against GIANT, Burt Sugarman, David
Gotterer, and certain of Rally's other officers and directors before
the Delaware Chancery Court. Harbor named Rally's as a nominal
defendant. Harbor claims that the directors and officers of both
Rally's and GIANT, along with GIANT, breached their fiduciary duties to
the public shareholders of Rally's by causing Rally's to repurchase
certain Rally's Senior Notes at an inflated price. Harbor seeks
"millions of dollars" in damages, along with rescission of the
repurchase transaction. In the fall of 1996, all defendants moved to
dismiss this action. On April 3, 1997, the Chancery Court denied
defendants' motion. GIANT denies all wrongdoing and intends to
vigorously defend itself in this action. It is not possible to predict
the outcome of this action at this time.
In February 1996, Michael Shores on behalf of himself and
purportedly all other stockholders of the Company commenced a putative
class action against the Company, and certain of the Company's current
and former directors, Burt Sugarman, David Gotterer, Terry Christensen
and Robert Wynn. The complaint, filed before the Los Angeles County
Superior Court, alleges that these directors breached their fiduciary
duties by adopting a stockholder rights plan, by causing GIANT to sell
certain Rally's Senior Notes back to Rally's, by causing GIANT to
repurchase certain amounts of its own Common Stock pursuant to its
stock repurchase program and by agreeing to the Exchange Offer. The
complaint claims that these actions were undertaken to entrench
management rather than for the benefit of the Company and its
stockholders. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, injunctive
relief and a recovery of attorneys' fees and costs. In February 1997,
defendants filed a motion to dismiss for failure to make a
pre-litigation demand on the Board of Directors to investigate the
plaintiffs' claim. The motion asks the court, in the alternative, to
stay the litigation to permit the Company to address plaintiffs' claims
internally. Argument on this motion is now set for September 3, 1997.
The Company denies all wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend
itself in this action. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the
action at this time.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont'd)
In October 1996, KCC filed a complaint, in the Los Angeles
County Superior Court, against Joseph Pike, NeoGen Investors, L.P.,
N.D. Management, Inc., NeoGen Holdings, L.P., Danco Laboratories, Inc.
and NeoGen Pharmaceutical, Inc. that states causes of action for fraud,
breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent concealment, breach of contract,
unfair business practices and permanent and preliminary injunctive
relief and against the licensors of Mifepristone, Population Council
Inc. and Advances in Health Technology, Inc., on a declaratory relief
claim. The complaint seeks damages for the breach by Mr. Joseph Pike
and related entities of a July 24, 1996 agreement by which KCC agreed
to contribute $6,000, in return for a 26% equity interest in the entity
producing the abortion inducing drug, Mifepristone, in the United
States and other parts of the world ("NeoGen Agreement"). The licensors
of Mifepristone claim that their prior approval was necessary for the
July 24, 1996 NeoGen Agreement between KCC and Joseph Pike and the
other defendants. On February 19, 1997, the Pike defendants filed an
answer to the complaint, denying its material allegations and raising
affirmative defenses. On that date, certain defendants filed a
cross-complaint against KCC, GIANT, Burt Sugarman, and two of GIANT's
directors, Terry Christensen and David Malcolm alleging causes of
action for fraud, breach of contract, intentional interference with
prospective economic advantage, negligent interference with prospective
economic advantage and unfair business practices. Discovery is
on-going. Trial has been set for February 23, 1998.
In November 1996, Joseph Pike filed a complaint for defamation
against GIANT, KCC, Burt Sugarman, Terry Christensen, David Malcolm and
Does 1 through 50, in the San Diego County Superior Court. The
complaint seeks an unspecified amount of general, special and exemplary
damages. All defendants have answered the complaint, denying its
material allegations and raising several affirmative defenses. Trial
has been set for November 7, 1997. KCC, GIANT and the other defendants
deny all wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the action. It is
not possible to predict the outcome of the action at this time.
Since management does not believe that the previously
mentioned lawsuits, in which the Company is a defendant, contain
meritorious claims, management believes that the ultimate resolution of
the lawsuits will not materially and adversely affect the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" (SFAS 128) and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about
Capital Structure" (SFAS 129). SFAS 128 revises and simplifies the
computation for earnings per share and requires certain additional
disclosures. SFAS 129 requires additional disclosures regarding the
Company's capital structure. This additional disclosure will be adopted
as prescribed by SFAS 128 and 129. Management does not expect the
adoption of these standards to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or the results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE
AMOUNTS)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS
THE COMPARABLE 1996 PERIOD
Total revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997
decreased by $1,908 to $704 and by $2,615 to $1,449, respectively. The decrease
in revenue resulted from lower gains on the sale of the Company's investments in
marketable securities, recorded in the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 1997 of $1,904 and $2,394, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, The Ocean Group incurred
expenses of $1,014, including amortization of start-up costs of $124, in
operating The Co-Ownership Program, which was launched in February 1997.
Expenses consisted primarily of advertising of $285, crew and related expenses
of $245, repairs and maintenance of $148, management and professional fees of
$76 and provisions of $62. Currently, no Co-Ownership interests have been sold.
In 1997, general and administrative expenses for the three and
six-months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 increased by $167 to $1,224 and by $370
to $2,358, respectively. For the current quarter, this increase is primarily due
to higher rent and office expenses of $91, both related to the Company's move
into its new office space and higher travel of $62. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997, the increase is primarily due to higher travel of $167, higher
rent and office expenses of $103, and higher salaries and benefits of $72.
Interest expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 increased by $76 to $77 and by $46 to $78, respectively, primarily
due to the financing of one of the luxury yachts in the second quarter. Interest
expense for the prior six month period included $30 related to the Company's
9.25% Term Note, which was paid in February, 1996.
GIANT's investment in Rally's at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
represents approximately 15% of Rally's outstanding common stock. Rally's
reported a net income of $92 and a net loss $860 for the three and six-months
ended June 29, 1997 and a net income of $111 and $949 for the three and
six-months ended June 30, 1996. GIANT's non-cash equity in Rally's for the three
and six-months ended June 30, 1997 was income of $14 and a loss of $129 compared
to a loss of $168 and income of $229 for the comparable 1996 period. Rally's
current year to date operating results improved as a result of substantial
reductions in food, paper and labor costs as a percentage of sales, as compared
to last year. However, the positive effect of cost savings in the second quarter
was reduced as a result of higher advertising expenses and costs incurred
related to the proposed merger between Rally's and Checkers, which was
terminated in June 1997. Prior year to date net income included an extraordinary
income item of $4,522, net of tax, related to the early extinguishment of debt.
In addition, Giant's 1996 non-cash equity in Rally's earnings has been adjusted
to reflect the decrease in the Company's ownership percentage in Rally's due to
sale of Rally's common stock to CKE and Fidelity in May 1996.
The Company's consolidated financial statements reflect valuation
allowances of $4,848 and $4,796, at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively, as it is not likely, as defined in SFAS No. 109 that these tax
benefits will be realized in the near future.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and income tax and
other receivables totaled $25,952 at June 30, 1997 compared with $37,980 at
December 31, 1996. At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had
working capital of $38,504 and $45,419, respectively, and current ratios of
approximately 4 to 1. In addition, as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
the Company owned 3,137,000 shares of Rally's common stock, having a market
value of $8,235.
At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company's consolidated
balance sheets included a liability of approximately $3,200 related to a
proposed assessment by the State of California made as a result of their audit
of the tax years 1989 through 1991. GIANT has vigorously disputed this
assessment and is awaiting the resolution.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (CONT.) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER
SHARE AMOUNTS)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONT.)
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-months ended June
30, 1997 was $7,313 compared to cash used by operating activities of $1,697 for
the comparable period in 1996. This increase in cash provided by operating
activities was attributable to income tax refunds of $10,813 received related to
the realization of capital losses on the 1996 sales of Rally's common stock and
net operating loss carryback claim, lowered by cash used for the funding of the
Company's operations.
Net cash used by investing activities for the six-months ended June 30,
1997 was $13,029 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $33,375
for the comparable period in 1996. During the first three months of 1997, the
Company paid the remaining balance of $10,500 on the short-term note which
financed assets purchased in 1996 for The Co-Ownership Program. On May 16, 1997,
the Company signed an agreement to borrow $10,000. This loan is secured by one
of its luxury yachts. The term of the mortgage is twenty-six months from the
date of advancement of funds, which occurred on May 30, and is subject to
prepayment in the event of a transfer of an interest in this yacht. In July, the
loan was paid in full. The Company received principal payments of $1,843 on its
investment in Checkers 13% subordinated debt, including payment in full of the
1996 short-term advance. Finally, during the current year, the Company paid $871
for furniture and equipment and for leasehold improvements for its new office
space.
Net cash used by financing activities for the six-months ended June 30,
1997 was $3,638 compared to $12,948 for the comparable period in 1996. In 1997,
the Company, with the approval of the Board of Directors, purchased 459,000
shares of its own Common Stock at a cost of $3,638 compared to 1,465,000 shares
at a cost of $13,348 in 1996.
The Company's current liquidity is provided by cash and cash
equivalents, liquidation of marketable securities, cash received from note
receivables and investment income. Management believes that this liquidity, plus
the Company's capital resources and its ability to obtain financing at favorable
rates are sufficient for the Company to properly capitalize its current and
future business operations, as well as fund its on-going operating expenses.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
