FLAGSTAR COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)


Note 1.  Introduction.

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

Note 2.  Interim Period Presentation.

         The Statements of Consolidated  Operations of FCI and its  subsidiaries
for the  three  months  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 and  1994,
respectively,  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.

         During  the  second  quarter  of 1994,  the  Company  sold its food and
vending  subsidiary  for  approximately  $450.0  million  and  adopted a plan to
dispose of the remaining  concession and recreation  services  businesses of its
subsidiary,  Canteen Holdings, Inc. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets
and Statements of Consolidated Operations and Cash Flows reflect such businesses
as discontinued operations. During July, 1995, the Company announced that it had
entered into an agreement to sell TW Recreational Services,  Inc. ("TWRS") which
operates  its  recreation  services  business,  for $110.0  million,  subject to
certain  adjustments.  Such  transaction  is subject to  National  Park  Service
approval and is expected to be completed  during the fourth quarter of 1995. The
Company  also is  continuing  in its  efforts  to  sell  Volume  Services,  Inc.
("Volume"),  which operates its concession services business. Although the major
league baseball strike ended during April 1995, continuing uncertainty regarding
labor  issues  in  baseball  has  delayed  the sale of  Volume  beyond  the time
originally anticipated.

         The  Company  has  allocated  to the  discontinued  segment a
pro-rata portion of its interest expense. Such pro-rata portion was of
$4.5 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively,  and $13.6 million and $29.2  million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Note 4.  Divestitures

         During September 1995, the Company sold its distribution
subsidiary, Proficient Food Company, for approximately $130.0 million
including receipt of cash of approximately $122.5 million. This
transaction resulted in a deferred gain of approximately $70.0 million
which will be recognized as income over the term of certain distribution
agreements entered into with the buyer.

         During the third quarter of 1995, the Company entered into discussions
with the management of Quincy's regarding the potential sale of such concept.

Note 5.  Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

         The Company uses the modified  treasury stock method in its computation
of earnings (loss) per common share.

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 September 30, 1995 and the results of operations for
the three  months and nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 as compared to the
corresponding 1994 periods.

         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,  1994 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.  1994 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1994

         Operating revenues from continuing  operations for the third
quarter of 1995 decreased by  approximately  $23.7 million (3.4%) as
compared with the same period in 1994.  Denny's  revenues  (including
revenues for its processing and distribution operations) decreased by
$8.8 million (2.1%).  Such  decrease resulted from a 42-unit  net
decrease  in the  number  of  Company-operated restaurants  as of
September 30, 1995 as compared to September 30, 1994, largely due to the
sale of Company-owned  restaurants to franchisees,  and the sale of
Denny's distribution subsidiary  during  September  1995.  Such
decreases  were  mitigated by a 2.0% increase  in  comparable  store
sales  during  the 1995  quarter  over the 1994 quarter.  Denny's
increase in average check of 4.8% was  partially  offset by a 2.7%
decrease in traffic. During the 1995 quarter, Denny's completed remodels
on 50  Company-owned  restaurants.  Hardee's  revenues  decreased by
$16.0  million (8.7%) during the 1995 quarter as compared with the same
period in 1994 due to a 10.6% decrease in comparable sales,  reflecting
continued aggressive discounting and promotions by quick-service
competitors.  Such decreases more than offset a 9-unit net increase in
the number of  restaurants  over the prior year  quarter. Hardee's
experienced a 12.2% decrease in traffic which was partially offset by a
1.9% increase in average check.  During the 1995 quarter,  the Company
completed remodels on 3 of its Hardee's units. Quincy's revenues
increased by $3.5 million (4.8%)  during the 1995  quarter  as  compared
with the third  quarter of 1994, despite an 8-unit net decrease in the
number of  restaurants  at  September  30, 1995 as compared with
September 30, 1994.  Comparable store sales increased 6.4% as a result
of  increases in average  check of 4.7% and traffic of 1.6%.  During the
1995 quarter,  the Company  completed  remodels on 16 of its Quincy's
units. Revenues decreased at El Pollo Loco to $32.4 million during the
third quarter of 1995 from $34.8 million during the third quarter of
1994 as a result of a net decrease of 26 Company-owned  restaurants at
September  30, 1995 as compared with  September  30, 1994.  Such
decrease in the number of units was due primarily to the sale of
Company-owned  restaurants  to franchisees. El Pollo Loco's comparable
store sales increased by 0.8% during the 1995  quarter as  compared to
the 1994 period and reflect an increase in average check of 0.9%  which
was  partially  offset by a  decrease  in  traffic of 0.1%. During the
1995 quarter,  El Pollo Loco  completed  remodels on 6  Company-owned
restaurants.

         Operating  expenses  from  continuing  operations  decreased
by  $17.9 million (2.8%) in the third quarter of 1995 as compared with
the same period of 1994.  Such  decrease  reflects a $16.6 million
decrease in operating  expenses attributable to Denny's. Denny's
operating expenses were reduced by gains on the sale of  restaurants to
franchisees of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 1995.
Additional decreases in operating expenses at Denny's are comprised
primarily of decreases  of $5.8  million in  product  cost and $5.4
million  in payroll  and benefits expense.  These decreases  resulted
primarily from the decrease in the number of Company-owned  restaurants
and were partially offset by incremental increases in other expense 
items, including an increase in advertising
expense of $3.4 million.  At Hardee's, operating expenses decreased by
$3.3 million  during the third  quarter of 1995 over the  corresponding
1994 period principally due to a decrease in product cost of $4.7
million as a result of  decreased  sales  during  the  1995 quarter.
Quincy's  operating  expenses increased by $2.5 million during the 1995
quarter over the corresponding  period of 1994  primarily due to
increases in product costs of $1.8 million and payroll and  benefits
expenses  of $1.0 million.  Operating  expenses at El Pollo Loco
decreased by $3.3 million primarily due to a 26-unit  decrease in the
number of Company-owned  restaurants at September 30, 1995 as compared
with September 30, 1994 as a result of the sale of  restaurants  to
franchisees.  El Pollo  Loco's operating  expenses included gains on the
sale of restaurants to franchisees of $1.4  million  and $0.4  million
during  the third  quarters  of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Corporate
and  other  expenses  increased  by $2.9  million  due primarily to
increased  expenses of $1.0 million recorded at the corporate level
related to the Denny's  consent decree with the U. S.  Department of
Justice and charges of $2.3 million related to various management
recruiting, training, and information services initiatives.

         Total  interest  and debt  expense  from  continuing  and
discontinued operations  decreased by $0.6  million in the third quarter
of 1995 as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1994.

         The Company's concession and recreation services  businesses,
which are accounted for as discontinued operations, recorded operating
revenues of $130.7 million during the third  quarter of 1995,  an
increase of $0.6 million over the same period of 1994.  Revenues related
to the operation of major league  baseball and National Football  League
stadium  concessions  were up $1.7  million  during  the third quarter
of 1995 over the same period of 1994 due to an increase in the number of
events.  Operating income and  depreciation and amortization  expense
related to the Company's discontinued operations were $20.9 million  and
$3.5  million,  respectively,  for the  third  quarter  of 1995 as
compared with $22.1  million  and  $3.5  million,  respectively, during
the comparable period of 1994.

         For the third quarter of 1995, the Company  recognized an
extraordinary gain totaling $0.5 million,  net of income taxes, which
represents a gain on the repurchase of $24,975,000 principal amount of
certain senior indebtedness, net of the charge-off of the related
unamortized deferred financing costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1994

         Operating revenues from continuing operations for the first
nine months of 1995  decreased by  approximately  $11.6 million  (0.6%)
as compared with the same period in 1994.  Denny's  revenues  increased
by $5.9 million (0.5%) during the first nine months of 1995 as compared
with the same 1994 period.  Comparable store sales at Denny's increased
by 2.8% during the first nine months of 1995 as compared with the same
period of 1994,  reflecting increases in average check of 2.0% and
traffic  of 0.8%, while the number of  Company-owned  units  declined.
During  the  first  nine  months  of 1995,  Denny's  completed  remodels
of 136 Company-owned restaurants. Hardee's revenues decreased by 4.8% to
$500.5 million from $526.0 million during the corresponding period of
1994 despite a 9-unit net increase in the number of restaurants operated
at September 30, 1995 as compared to September 30, 1994.  Hardee's
comparable store sales decreased by 8.1% during the first nine months of
1995 as  compared  with the 1994  period  reflecting  a decrease in
traffic of 9.3% which was  mitigated by an increase in average check of
1.3%.  Hardee's traffic continues to be significantly  affected by
aggressive discounting and promotions by quick-service  competitors.
During the first nine months of 1995,  the  Company  had  remodeled  60
of its  Hardee's  restaurants. Despite an 8-unit decrease in the number
of  restaurants  at September  30, 1995 as compared to September  30,
1994, Quincy's revenues increased by $12.2 million (5.8%) during the
first nine months of 1995 as compared with the first nine months of
1994,  primarily due to a 7.1% increase in comparable  store sales. The
increase in comparable  store sales  resulted from  increases of 5.8% in
traffic and 1.2% in average check. During the first nine months of 1995,
the Company completed remodels on 35 of its  Quincy's  units.  Revenues
at El Pollo Loco decreased by $4.2 million  (4.2%) to $96.6 million
during the first nine months of 1995 from $100.8  million  during  the
corresponding   1994  period. Such  decrease  is attributable primarily
to  a  26-unit   net   decrease in  the  number  of Company-operated
restaurants  following  the  sale  of units  to  franchisees. Comparable
store sales at Company-operated El Pollo Loco units increased by 2.1%
reflecting an increase in average check of 2.3% which was partially
offset by a 0.2%  decrease in traffic.  During the first nine months of
1995,  El Pollo Loco completed remodels on 45 of its Company-owned
units.

         The Company's operating expenses from continuing  operations
decreased by $9.1  million  (0.5%) in the first nine months of 1995 as
compared  with the same period of 1994.  Operating  expenses  at Denny's
decreased  $22.3  million principally  due to decreases in payroll and
benefits of $14.2 million and occupancy expense of $2.1 million.
Denny's operating  expenses were also reduced by gains on the sale of
restaurants to franchisees of $18.9 million during the first nine months
of 1995 as  compared  with $3.9  million  during  the 1994  period.
Such decreases were offset, in part, by increases in advertising expense
of $4.8 million and overhead expense of $4.8 million.  At Hardee's,  an
increase in operating expenses of $2.6 million is mainly  attributable
to increased expenses for payroll and benefits of $3.2 million, overhead
expense of $3.9 million in 1995 related to the restructuring of field
management during 1994, other  expenses  of $2.7  million,  and an
increase of $1.3 million in workers'  compensation  charges. Such
increases were offset, in part, by a $9.2 million decrease in product
costs  associated with decreased  revenues in the 1995  period.  An
increase  in  operating  expenses  of $12.2  million at Quincy's is
principally  attributable  to  increases  in payroll  and  benefits
expense  of $4.6  million,  product  costs of $4.4  million  associated
with an increase in revenues during the first nine months of 1995,
advertising  expense of $1.7 million, and repairs and maintenance
expense of $0.6 million.  Operating expense at El Pollo Loco  decreased
by $7.5 million during the first nine months of 1995 due  primarily to a
26-unit  decrease in the number of  Company-operated restaurants  at
September 30, 1995 as compared with September 30, 1994 following the
sale of

                                                                      FORM 10-Q


restaurants to franchisees.  El Pollo Loco's operating expenses during
the first nine months of 1995 included gains on the sale of restaurants
of $3.1 million as compared with $0.5 million during the  corresponding
period of 1994.  Corporate and other  expenses  increased by $5.9
million  during the first nine months of 1995 as compared with 1994 due
primarily to increased  expenses of $3.2 million recorded at the
corporate  level related to the Denny's  consent decree with the U. S.
Department of Justice and charges of $3.1 million related to various
management recruiting, training, and information services initiatives.

         Total  interest  and debt  expense  from  continuing  and
discontinued operations  decreased  by $13.4  million  in the  first
nine  months of 1995 as compared to the same period of 1994  principally
as a result of a reduction  in interest expense  following the payment
during June 1994 of the principal amount ($170.2 million)  outstanding
under the term facility of the Company's  Restated Credit  Agreement and
certain  other  indebtedness  following  the sale of the Company's  food
and vending  subsidiary,  and an  increase  in interest  income,
partially offset by an increase in expense related to interest rate
exchange agreements.

         The Company's concession and recreation services  businesses,
which are accounted for as discontinued operations, recorded operating
revenues of $248.0 million during the first nine  months of 1995,  a
decrease  of $13.1  million  from the $260.2 million  recorded  during
the same  period  of 1994.  Revenues  related  to the operation of major
league baseball  stadium  concessions were down $12.9 million during the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to the corresponding  period of
1994  due to the  average  attendance  at such  games  during  1995
being  down approximately 31% from 1994.  Operating income and
depreciation and amortization expense were $14.9 million and $10.8
million,  respectively,  for the first nine months of 1995 as compared
with $22.5 million and $10.6  million,  respectively, during the
comparable period of 1994.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company
recognized an extraordinary gain totaling $0.5 million,  net of income
taxes, which represents a gain on the  repurchase  of  $24,975,000
principal  amount of certain  senior indebtedness, net of the charge off
of the related unamortized deferred financing costs.  For the  first
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1994,  the  Company recognized an
extraordinary  loss  totaling  $10.8  million,  net of income tax
benefits of $1.1 million.  The  extraordinary  loss represents the
charge-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the
prepayment in June 1994 of senior bank debt.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

         At September  30, 1995 and  December 31, 1994,  the Company had
working capital  deficits  of $100.5  million  and  $128.3  million,
respectively.  The decrease in the deficit  between  December  31, 1994
and  September  30, 1995 is attributable primarily to an increase in
cash and cash equivalents following the sale of the Company's  food
distribution  subsidiary,  Proficient  Food Company ("PFC"),  during
September  1995.  The sale  price of $130.0  million  included receipt
of $122.5 million in cash by the Company. 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 investment 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.

         The Company is currently evaluating its options regarding the
proceeds from the pending sale of its recreation services  subsidiary,
TW Recreational  Services,  Inc. Such options include the repayment of
long-term debt and financing the Company's  restaurant  remodeling and
capital expenditures.  The Company is also in discussion with the
management of Quincy's regarding the potential sale of such concept.
