INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Administrative Committee Flagstar 401(k) Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Flagstar 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the foregoing Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1996 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following description of the Flagstar 401(k) Plan ("the Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan provisions. a. General - The Plan, formerly the Flagstar Thrift Plan and, prior to that, the Thrift Plan for Noncontract Employees of TW Services, Inc., is a qualified deferred compensation plan, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Any nonhighly compensated salaried employee of Flagstar Corporation (Flagstar, the "Company" and the Plan's Administrator) and Flagstar Systems, Inc. (Spartan) who has attained age 21 and has completed twelve months of service with the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan. Prior to May 6, 1994, any salaried employee of Canteen Corporation and, prior to November 30, 1994, any salaried employee of TW Recreational Services, Inc. (TWRS) could participate in the Plan in accordance with the same eligibility requirements. The Flagstar 401(k) Plan Committee and the plan administrator control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. NationsBank served as the Trustee of the Plan prior to July 1, 1996, when American Express Trust Company replaced NationsBank as trustee. Effective June 17, 1994 (the "Transition Date"), IM Vending Inc., Canteen Corporation and the subsidiaries of Canteen Corporation, (collectively, the "Canteen Group") were sold to an entity outside of the Flagstar Corporation controlled group. Effective May 6, 1994, employees classified as Canteen Group employees were no longer eligible to become participants in the Plan. Effective as of the Transition Date and thereafter, the Canteen Group is not a Plan Sponsor or participating employer under the Plan and active employees of the Canteen Group as of the Transition Date were not permitted to make pre-tax deferral contributions under the Plan and were not eligible to receive employer contributions under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan provisions, Canteen Group employees were given the right to elect to receive a lump sum distribution of their entire Pre-Tax Account as of the Transition Date, receive distribution of the Pre-Tax Account when they separate from service with the Canteen Group, or postpone distribution of the account if their account balance did not exceed $3,500 as of the Transition Date. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, Canteen Group employee participant account balances included in the net assets available for benefits of the Plan were $435,255 and $9,260,544, respectively. Effective December 12, 1995 and December 31, 1995 ("Transition Dates"), TW Recreational Services, Inc. (TWRS) and Volume Services, Inc. (VS) were sold to entities outside of the Flagstar Corporation controlled group. Effective December 31, 1995, employees classified as VS employees were no longer eligible to become participants in the Plan. Effective as of the respective Transition Dates and thereafter, TWRS and VS are not Plan Sponsors or participating employers under the Plan and active employees of TWRS and VS as of the -4- Transition Dates were not permitted to make pre-tax deferral contributions under the Plan and were not eligible to receive employer contributions under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan provisions, TWRS and VS employees were given the right to elect to receive a lump sum distribution of their entire Pre-Tax Account as of the Transition Dates or receive distribution of their Pre-Tax Accounts when they separate from service with TWRS or VS. b. Contributions - Each year, participants' pre-tax contributions were limited to 10% of eligible compensation, or $9,500 in 1996, $9,240 in 1995, and $9,240 in 1994, whichever is less. After-tax contributions were limited to 10% of each employee's eligible compensation, however, no after-tax contribution could be made by an employee in any month in which the employee made a pre-tax contribution. As of July 1, 1996, participants may contribute up to 15% of eligible compensation or the amount denoted above, whichever is less. Also as of July 1, 1996, participants may not make after-tax contributions to the plan. The Company at its discretion, may contribute an amount equal to 25% of each participating employee's after-tax contributions, and 25% of employee pre-tax contributions up to 6% of such employee's compensation, plus 75% for the first $500 per year of employee pre-tax contributions. These Company contributions are made to the Plan monthly and are invested to mirror the employee election. In 1996, the Company elected not to make contributions to the Plan. c. Participant Accounts - A separate account is maintained for each participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. d. Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, employer contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. e. Investment Options - Prior to July 1, 1996, contributions to the Plan could be invested in 25% increments in any combination of five funds chosen by the participants: Employee Interest Fund, Employee Government Bond Fund, Employee Dreyfus Equity Fund, Employee Explorer Equity Fund, and Flagstar Companies Employee Stock Fund. Contributions were temporarily invested in short-term money market deposits and/or commercial paper until employee elections were executed. The Employee Interest Fund consisted of insurance contracts that provided fixed interest rates on the Fund investments. The Dreyfus Equity Fund and Explorer Equity Fund were mutual equity funds that provided dividends and gains/losses as the market fluctuated. The Flagstar Companies Employee Stock Fund was invested in Flagstar Companies, Inc. common stock which also generated gains/losses as the market fluctuated, but in no event could more than 25% of the participating employees' contributions for any pay period be invested in the Company's common stock. Participants could change or transfer their investment options quarterly. A participating employee, however, could not -5- transfer amounts to the Company stock fund to exceed 25% of his or her total investment in the Plan. As of July 1, 1996, participants may direct employee contributions in one percent increments in any of eight investment options. (a) The Flagstar Stable Value Fund is a pooled fund which invests primarily in bank, insurance and stable value investment contracts. The guaranteed investment contracts held by the Plan at the time of the change in trustee were transferred to this fund. (b) The American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II is a collective trust fund which invests primarily in common stock. (c) The Conservative Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds and mutual funds. (d) The Moderate Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in The Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds, and mutual funds. (e) The Aggressive Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds, and mutual funds. (f) The Small Company Equity Fund is a pooled fund which invests in mutual funds. (g) The Templeton Foreign Fund is a mutual fund which invests in companies outside of the United States. (h) The Flagstar Stock Fund is a pooled fund which invests in American Express money market funds and Flagstar Companies, Inc. common stock. The Flagstar stock held by the Plan at the time of the change in trustee was transferred to this fund. Participants may change their investment options daily. f. Participant Loans - Participants may borrow up to the lesser of 50% of the vested portion of their account balance, or the amount of $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance during the prior 12 month period. The minimum loan amount is $1,000, and each employee can have only one loan outstanding at any time. The Plan documents indicate that a reasonable borrowing rate will be assessed, typically evidenced by the prime rate charged by the Plan's trustee. The participant also bears any loan administration costs incurred. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions in equal installments with the loan terms ranging from 6 to 54 months. Loan repayments cannot exceed 30% of the participant's salary. If an employee who has a loan outstanding terminates employment, no benefits will be paid from the Plan to the participant until the outstanding loan balance and accrued interest is paid in full. Loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 have a range of interest rates from 5.75% to 9%. g. Payment of Benefits - On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a ten year period. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump sum distribution. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. -6- b. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered mutual funds are valued at the quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Shares of collective trust funds are valued at market prices determined in good faith by the fund manager. Investments in the pooled accounts are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values are determined by dividing the fund's net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at each valuation date. The guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts which were held by the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and transferred to the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, are fully benefit-responsive and are valued at contract value. Contract value represents the aggregate amount of accumulated contributions and investment income, less amounts used to make benefit payments and administrative expenses. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. c. Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and allocated to participant accounts. d. Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. e. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Plan considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents typically represent money market funds. f. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. PLAN UNIT VALUATION Effective July 1, 1996, the Plan became a participant in a pooled investment trust agreement with American Express Trust Company together with the Denny's 401(k) Plan. The assets of the following investment options are held in the pooled investment trust: Flagstar Stable Value Fund, Conservative Blend Fund, Moderate Blend Fund, Small Company Equity Fund, Flagstar Stock Fund and the Aggressive Blend Fund. Individual participant accounts are maintained on a unit value basis. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the trustee maintains separate units of participation in the Plan and related net asset value per unit for each investment fund covered by -7- the Plan. The number of units and related net asset value per unit as of December 31, 1996 for each investment fund are as follows: Flagstar Conservative Moderate Small Flagstar Aggressive Stable Value Blend Blend Company Stock Blend Fund Fund Fund Equity Fund Fund Fund -------------- ---------- ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- American Express Trust Money Market Fund I $ 2,731,564 $ --- $ --- $ --- $ 62,988 $ --- American Express Trust Income Fund I 11,539,479 --- --- --- --- --- American Express Emerging Growth Fund II --- 16,798 1,468,237 4,863,402 --- 357,115 American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II --- 136,652 2,849,476 --- --- 277,226 IDS New Dimensions Fund --- --- 956,376 --- --- 279,139 Lazard Small Capital Fund --- 17,656 1,469,171 4,866,335 --- 357,340 Neuberger & Berman Focus Trust Fund --- --- 965,745 --- --- 281,873 Templeton Foreign Fund --- 105,996 3,920,033 --- --- 715,087 Flagstar Stable Value Fund --- 421,246 7,767,590 --- --- 566,785 Guaranteed Investment Contracts 71,131,343 --- --- --- --- --- Flagstar Stock Fund --- --- --- --- 1,026,547 --- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Market Value $ 85,402,386 $ 698,348 $ 19,396,628 $ 9,729,737 $ 1,089,535 $ 2,834,565 ============ ============ ============ ============ =========== =========== Units Outstanding, December 31, 1996 2,597,953 41,653 862,785 375,432 104,741 76,005 Net Asset Value Per Unit at: December 31, 1996 $10.2 $10.5 $10.6 $10.7 $3.1 $10.8 September 30, 1996 10.1 10.1 10.2 10.4 6.4 10.3 July 1, 1996 (Initial Investment) 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain Plan investments held during the plan year and at plan year end are shares of collective trust funds managed by American Express Trust Company ("American Express") or NationsBank. American Express and NationsBank each served as trustee during the plan year as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Fees paid to American Express and NationsBank by the Plan amounted to approximately $16,000 and $105,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996. Fees paid to NationsBank amounted to approximately $190,000 and $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 5. TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of any termination of the Plan, each participant automatically becomes fully vested to the extent of the balance in the participant's separate account after reflection of the fund's activity to the date of such termination. -8- 6. NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS The net appreciation (depreciation) including investments bought, sold, and held, by type of investment, during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 is summarized as follows: 1996 1995 1994 -------------- ---------------- ----------------- Flagstar Companies, Inc.

TAX STATUS The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on September 20, 1995, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. -9- 8.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS FCI FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING (UNAUDITED) -- On March 17, 1997, Flagstar Companies, Inc. ("FCI"), reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a financial restructuring plan with an ad hoc committee representing holders of both its 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003 and 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2004. In conjunction with such plan, FCI has decided to pursue a restructuring of its debt and preferred stock through "prepackaged" bankruptcy filings to be made under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by FCI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagstar (the Plan sponsor). FCI's operating subsidiaries would not be a party to any such filings under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, on March 6, 1997, FCI's Credit Agreement was amended to provide for less restrictive financial covenants for measurement periods ending on April 2, 1997 and July 2, 1997, as well as to provide FCI flexibility to forego scheduled interest payments due in March, May and June 1997 under the 10 3/4% Senior Notes, the 10 7/8% Senior Notes, the 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures, the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures, and the 10% Junior Subordinated Debentures without triggering a default under the agreement, unless any such debt is declared to be due and payable as a result of the failure to pay any such interest. On March 17, 1997, Flagstar elected not to make the $7.1 million interest payment due and payable as of that date to holders of its 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures. In addition, on May 1, 1997, Flagstar elected not to make the $40.6 million and $5.0 million interest payments due and payable as of that date to holders of its 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures and its 10% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures, respectively. As a result of these nonpayments, and as a result of a continuation of such nonpayments for 30 days following their respective due dates, Flagstar is in default under the indentures governing such debentures, and the holders of 25% of such debentures or the trustees therefor may declare such debt to be due and payable. If such debt is declared to be due and payable this will create an event of default relative to the 10 3/4 % Senior Notes due 2001 and the 10 7/8% Senior Notes due 2002, entitling 30% of the holders of such indebtedness or the trustee therefor to declare such indebtedness also to be due and payable. FLAGSTAR STOCK FUND -- On March 17, 1997, the Flagstar Retirement Committee directed the Flagstar Retirement and Savings Department to immediately discontinue investments in the Flagstar Stock Fund. They additionally directed that when sufficient time had passed to allow the public to understand the restructuring plan, the Flagstar stock should be liquidated. In March and April of 1997, all Flagstar stock held by the Plan was liquidated. Participants could elect to keep their proceeds in the Flagstar Stock Fund which now invests in money market funds or transfer the money into another investment option. -13- FLAGSTAR 401(k) PLAN IRS FORM 5500, ITEM 27a - SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares, Units Current Description or Par Value Cost Value - --------------------------------- ------------- ----------- ------------- Pooled Funds: Flagstar Stable Value Fund 2,597,953 $25,982,535 $26,532,891 Aggressive Blend Fund 76,005 776,947 821,610 Moderate Blend Fund 862,785 8,635,104 9,156,739 Conservative Blend Fund 41,653 431,462 438,277 Small Company Equity Blend Fund 375,432 3,760,018 4,022,755 *Flagstar Stock Fund 104,741 979,903 326,268 ------------- ------------- Total 40,565,969 41,298,540 ------------- ------------- Collective Trust Funds: *American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II 22,923 412,959 447,117 -------------- ------------- Mutual Funds: Templeton Foreign Fund 19,422 193,505 201,207 -------------- -------------- *Loans to Participants 1,136,374 1,136,374 ------------- ------------- TOTAL INVESTMENTS $42,308,807 $43,083,238 =========== =========== * Denotes party-in-interest -14- FLAGSTAR 401(K) PLAN IRS FORM 5500 ITEM 27D-SCHEDULE OF REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 5% REPORT BY ASSET-AGGREGATE 1/1/96 THROUGH 12/31/96 b) Description of Asset h) Current Value (include Interest Rate of Asset on and Maturity in Case c) Purchase d) Selling g) Cost of Transaction i) Net Gain of Loan) Price Price Asset Date or (Loss) .................................... ........... .......... .......... .............. ..............

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Administrative Committee Denny's 401(k) Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Denny's 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the foregoing Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1996 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Denny's 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan provisions. a. General - The Plan, formerly the Denny's, Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, is a qualified deferred compensation plan, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Any United States employee of Denny's, Inc. (the "Company") and its domestic subsidiaries who has attained age 21 and who has completed twelve months of service with the Company, is eligible to participate in the Plan. The Denny's 401(k) Plan Committee and the plan administrator control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. NationsBank served as the trustee of the Plan prior to July 1, 1996, when American Express Trust replaced NationsBank as trustee. Effective September 26, 1996, (the "PTF Transition Date"), Portion-Trol Foods, Inc. ("PTF") was sold to an entity outside of Denny's, Inc. Effective September 26, 1996, employees classified as PTF employees were no longer eligible to become participants in the Plan. Effective as of the PTF Transition Date and thereafter, PTF is not a Plan Sponsor or participating employer under the Plan and active employees of PTF as of the PTF Transition Date were not permitted to make pre-tax deferral contributions under the Plan and were not eligible to receive employer contributions under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan provisions, PTF employees were given the right to elect to receive a lump sum distribution of their entire Pre-Tax Account as of the PTF Transition Date, receive distribution of the Pre-Tax Account when they separate from service with PTF, or postpone distribution of the account. Distributions related to PTF employees for the plan year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $2,272,465. Effective July 26, 1996, (the "MBP Transition Date"), Mother Butler Pies ("MBP") was sold to an entity outside of Denny's, Inc. Effective July 26, 1996, employees classified as MBP employees were no longer eligible to become participants in the Plan. Effective as of the MBP Transition Date and thereafter, MBP is not a Plan Sponsor or participating employer under the Plan and active employees of MBP as of the MBP Transition Date were not permitted to make pre-tax deferral contributions under the Plan and were not eligible to receive employer contributions under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan provisions, MBP employees were given the right to elect to receive a lump sum distribution of their entire Pre-Tax Account as of the MBP Transition Date, receive distribution of the Pre-Tax Account when they separate from service with MBP, or postpone distribution of the account. Distributions related to MBP employees for the plan year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $248,941. -4- Effective September 1, 1995 (the "PFC Transition Date"), Proficient Food Company and its subsidiary, DFC Trucking Company, (collectively, the "PFC Group") were sold to an entity outside of Denny's, Inc. Effective September 1, 1995, employees classified as PFC Group employees were no longer eligible to become participants in the Plan. Effective as of the PFC Transition Date and thereafter, the PFC Group is not a Plan Sponsor or participating employer under the Plan and active employees of the PFC Group as of the PFC Transition Date were not permitted to make pre-tax deferral contributions under the Plan and were not eligible to receive employer contributions under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan provisions, PFC Group employees were given the right to elect to receive a lump sum distribution of their entire Pre-Tax Account as of the PFC Transition Date, receive distribution of the Pre-Tax Account when they separate from service with the PFC Group, or postpone distribution of the account. Distributions related to PFC employees for the plan year ended December 31, 1995 totaled $5,924,921. b. Contributions - Each year, participants' pre-tax contributions are limited to 15% of eligible compensation, or $9,500 in 1996, $9,240 in 1995, and $9,240 in 1994, whichever is less. The Company, at its discretion, may match employee contributions up to the first 3% of each employee's salary at the rate of $1.00 for each employee dollar contributed (net of forfeitures). These Company contributions are made to the Plan monthly and are invested to mirror the employees' elections. In 1996 the Company elected not to make contributions to the Plan. c. Participant Accounts - A separate account is maintained for each participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. d. Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after five years of credited service. e. Investment Options - Prior to July 1, 1996, contributions to the Plan could be invested in any combination of four funds chosen by the participants: Employee Income Fund, Employee Dreyfus Equity Fund, Employee Explorer Equity Fund, and Flagstar Companies Employee Stock Fund. Contributions were temporarily invested in short-term money market deposits and/or commercial paper until employee elections were executed. The Employee Income Fund consisted of insurance contracts that provided fixed interest rates on the Fund investments. The Dreyfus Equity Fund and Explorer Equity Fund are mutual equity funds that provided dividends and gains/losses as the market fluctuated. The Flagstar Companies Employee Stock Fund was invested in Flagstar Companies, Inc. common stock which also -5- generated gains/losses as the market fluctuated, but in no event could more than 25% of the participating employees' contributions for any pay period be invested in the Company's common stock. Participants could change or transfer their investment options quarterly. A participating employee, however, could not transfer amounts to the Company stock fund to exceed 25% of his or her total investment in the Plan. As of July 1, 1996, participants may direct employee contributions in one percent increments in any of eight investment options. (a) The Flagstar Stable Value Fund is a pooled fund which invests primarily in bank, insurance and stable value investment contracts. The guaranteed investment contracts held by the Plan at the time of the change in trustee were transferred to this fund. (b) The American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II is a collective trust fund which invests primarily in common stock. (c) The Conservative Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds, and mutual funds. (d) The Moderate Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds, and mutual funds. (e) The Aggressive Blend Fund is a pooled fund which invests in the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, American Express collective trust funds, and mutual funds. (f) The Small Company Equity Fund is a pooled fund which invests in mutual funds. (g) The Templeton Foreign Fund is a mutual fund which invests in companies outside of the United States. (h) The Flagstar Stock Fund is a pooled fund which invests in American Express money market funds and Flagstar Company common stock. The Flagstar stock held by the Plan at the time of the change in trustee was transferred to this fund. Participants may change their investment options daily. f. Payment of Benefits - On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a ten year period. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump sum distribution. g. Forfeited Accounts - At December 31, 1996, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $302,575. These accounts will be used to reduce future Company contributions. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. b. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered mutual funds are valued at the quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Shares of collective trust funds are valued at market prices determined in good faith by the fund manager. Investments in the pooled accounts are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values are determined by dividing the fund's net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at each valuation date. The guaranteed investment -6- contracts and synthetic investment contracts which were held by the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and transferred to the Flagstar Stable Value Fund, are fully benefit-responsive and are valued at contract value. Contract value represents the aggregate amount of accumulated contributions and investment income, less amounts used to make benefit payments and administrative expenses. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. c. Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and allocated to participant accounts. d. Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. e. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Plan considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents typically represent money market funds. f. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. PLAN UNIT VALUATION Effective July 1, 1996, the Plan became a participant in a pooled investment trust agreement with American Express Trust Company together with the Flagstar 401(k) Plan. The assets of the following investment options are held in the pooled investment trust: Flagstar Stable Value Fund, Conservative Blend Fund, Moderate Blend Fund, Small Company Equity Fund, Flagstar Stock Fund and the Aggressive Blend Fund. Individual participant accounts are maintained on a unit value basis. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the trustee maintains separate units of participation in the Plan and related net asset value per unit for each investment fund covered by the Plan. The number of units and related net asset value per unit as of December 31, 1996 for -7- each investment fund are as follows: Flagstar Conservative Moderate Small Flagstar Aggressive Stable Value Blend Blend Company Stock Blend Fund Fund Fund Equity Fund Fund Fund -------------- ------------- ----------- ------------ ----------- ------------- American Express Trust Money Market Fund I $ 2,731,564 $ --- $ --- $ --- $ 62,988 $ --- American Express Trust Income Fund I 11,539,479 --- --- --- --- --- American Express Emerging Growth Fund II --- 16,798 1,468,237 4,863,402 --- 357,115 American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II --- 136,652 2,849,476 --- --- 277,226 IDS New Dimensions Fund --- --- 956,376 --- --- 279,139 Lazard Small Capital Fund --- 17,656 1,469,171 4,866,335 --- 357,340 Neuberger & Berman Focus Trust Fund --- --- 965,745 --- --- 281,873 Templeton Foreign Fund --- 105,996 3,920,033 --- --- 715,087 Flagstar Stable Value Fund --- 421,246 7,767,590 --- --- 566,785 Guaranteed Investment Contracts 71,131,343 --- --- --- --- --- Flagstar Stock Fund --- --- --- --- 1,026,547 --- -------------- ------------ ----------- ------------ ----------- ------------- Total Market Value $ 85,402,386 $ 698,348 $ 19,396,628 $ 9,729,737 $ 1,089,535 $ 2,834,565 ============== ============ =========== ============ =========== ============ Units Outstanding, December 31, 1996 4,903,908 24,717 971,445 532,491 243,574 187,912 Net Asset Value Per Unit at: December 31, 1996 $10.2 $10.5 $10.6 $10.7 $3.1 $10.8 September 30, 1996 10.1 10.1 10.2 10.4 6.4 10.3 July 1, 1996 (Initial Investment) 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain plan investments held during the plan year and at plan year end are shares of collective trust funds managed by American Express Trust Company ("American Express") or NationsBank. American Express and NationsBank each served as trustee during the plan year as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Fees paid to American Express and NationsBank by the Plan amounted to approximately $38,000 and $128,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996. Fees paid to NationsBank amounted to approximately $111,000 and $55,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 5. TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of any termination of the Plan, each participant automatically becomes fully vested to the extent of the balance in the participant's separate account after reflection of the fund's activity to the date of such termination. -8- 6.

TAX STATUS The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on December 21, 1995, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. -9- 8.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT FCI FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING (UNAUDITED) -- On March 17, 1997, Flagstar Companies, Inc. ("FCI"), parent company of the plan sponsor, reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a financial restructuring plan with an ad hoc committee representing holders of both its 11.375% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003 and 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2004. In conjunction with such plan, FCI has decided to pursue a restructuring of its debt and preferred stock through "prepackaged" bankruptcy filings to be made under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by FCI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagstar Corporation ("Flagstar"), FCI's operating subsidiaries would not be a party to any such filings under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, on March 6, 1997, FCI's Credit Agreement was amended to provide for less restrictive financial covenants for measurement periods ending on April 2, 1997 and July 2, 1997, as well as to provide FCI flexibility to forego scheduled interest payments due in March, May and June 1997 under the 10 3/4% Senior Notes, the 10 7/8% Senior Notes, the 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures, the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures, and the 10% Junior Subordinated Debentures without triggering a default under the agreement, unless any such debt is declared to be due and payable as a result of the failure to pay any such interest. On March 17, 1997, Flagstar elected not to make the $7.1 million interest payment due and payable as of that date to holders of its 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures. In addition, on May 1, 1997, Flagstar elected not to make the $40.6 million and $5.0 million interest payments due and payable as of that date to holders of its 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures and its 10% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures, respectively. As a result of these nonpayments, and as a result of a continuation of such nonpayments for 30 days following their respective due dates, Flagstar is in default under the indentures governing such debentures, and the holders of 25% of such debentures or the trustees therefor may declare such debt to be due and payable. If such debt is declared to be due and payable this will create an event of default relative to the 10 3/4 % Senior Notes due 2001 and the 10 7/8% Senior Notes due 2002, entitling 30% of the holders of such indebtedness or the trustee therefor to declare such indebtedness also to be due and payable. FLAGSTAR STOCK FUND -- On March 18, 1997, the Flagstar Retirement Committee directed the Flagstar Retirement and Savings Department to immediately discontinue investments in The Flagstar Stock Fund. They additionally directed that when sufficient time had passed to allow the public to understand the restructuring plan, the Flagstar stock should be liquidated. In March and April of 1997, all Flagstar stock held by the Plan was liquidated. Participants could elect to keep their proceeds in the Flagstar Stock Fund which now invests in money market funds or transfer the proceeds into another investment option. -13- DENNY'S 401(K) PLAN IRS FORM 5500, ITEM 27a - SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 Shares, Units Current Description or Par Value Cost Value Pooled Funds: Flagstar Stable Value Fund 4,903,908 $ 49,043,199 $ 49,952,140 Aggressive Blend Fund 187,912 1,922,209 2,031,332 Moderate Blend Fund 971,446 9,747,494 10,309,956 Conservative Blend Fund 24,717 251,217 260,069 Small Company Equity Blend Fund 532,584 5,338,953 5,705,700 *Flagstar Stock Fund 243,574 2,128,363 758,734 ------------- -------------- Total 68,431,435 69,017,931 ------------- -------------- Collective Trust Funds: *American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II 38,048 690,400 742,129 ------------- -------------- Mutual Funds: Templeton Foreign Fund 25,338 253,633 262,507 ------------- -------------- TOTAL INVESTMENTS $ 69,375,468 $ 70,022,567 ============= ============== * Denotes party-in-interest -14- DENNY'S 401(k) PLAN IRS FORM 5500 ITEM 27D - SCHEDULE OF REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 5% REPORT BY ASSET-AGGREGATE 1/1/96 THROUGH 12/31/96 b) Description of Asset h) Current Value (include Interest Rate of Asset on and Maturity in Case c) Purchase d) Selling g) Cost of Transaction i) Net Gain of Loan) Price Price Asset Date or (Loss) ....................................... ........... ........... .......... .............. ............
