           FAST FOOD OPERATORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)


1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
     adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position at
     September 27, 1998, and the results of operations and cash
     flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September
     27, 1998 and September 28, 1997.

2.   The condensed consolidated results of operations for the
     three and nine-month periods ended September 27, 1998 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the full year.

3.   On April 16, 1998, the Company received a verbal offer to
     purchase four of its restaurants (excluding only the managed
     Empire Boulevard restaurant) for $900,000.  The offer was
     made by Gary Monie, formerly the Company's Vice President of
     Operations.  Since resigning this position in the Fall of
     1995, Mr. Monie has continued to provide restaurant
     operation supervisory services for the Company, as a
     consultant.  The purchase offer was made on behalf of
     Popyork, LLC, a limited liability company that was
     subsequently formed. The parties signed an Asset Purchase
     Agreement dated as of July 10, 1998 for the sale of these
     four restaurants, which in the aggregate constitute
     substantially all of the Company's assets.  Such sale
     requires the approval of the Company's franchisor as well as
     the shareholders of the Company.  In connection therewith,
     the Company filed both a preliminary and definitive proxy
     statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The definitive proxy statement was mailed on September 25,
     1998 to holders of record on September 23, 1998. The
     Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders was held October
     26, 1998 at the Company's offices at No. 1 Commercial Drive,
     Area E., Florida, New York.  At such meeting, the Company's
     stockholders voted in favor of management's combined
     proposal to sell the four restaurants to Popyork, LLC  for
     $900,000 plus closing adjustments and to dissolve and
     liquidate the Company.  The sale is expected to receive
     franchisor approval by November 30, 1998 and to close on
     that date. The Company will then retire its outstanding
     liabilities and distribute its cash to its stockholders in
     liquidating distributions. As indicated in the Company's
     definitive proxy statement, such distributions are expected
     to aggregate $.11 per share.(See Part II, Item 4).

     The Company also reached an agreement to sell its last
     restaurant to that restaurant's manager.  (See Note 4).

                          (Unaudited)


4.   The Company's Empire Boulevard Restaurant in Brooklyn was
     managed by an unrelated party pursuant to a management
     agreement.  The agreement provided for the manager to
     receive the restaurant's net cash flow and for the Company
     to receive a monthly fee equal to the greater of $200 per
     month or five percent of such cash flow.  If monthly cash
     flow was negative, the manager was required to pay the
     Company the amount of negative cash flow in addition to the
     monthly minimum fee.  Negative cash flow for the nine-month
     periods ended September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997 was
     $13,221 and $14,177, respectively.  The net fee for such
     periods was accordingly $15,021 in 1998 and $15,977 in 1997.

     On July 8, 1998, the Company and the manager entered into an
     asset purchase agreement for the sale of this restaurant. 
     Pursuant thereto, on October 29, 1998 the restaurant was
     sold for $70,000 in cash, plus the usual closing adjustments
     for the cash bank, inventory and prepaid/accrued items,
     which totaled $10,833 for an aggregate sales price of
     $80,833.  The sale resulted in a de-minimus gain to the
     Company as the restaurant had previously been written down
     to its net realizable value.

5.   Due to available net operating tax loss carry-forwards, only
     a minor provision for income taxes has been provided for the
     three and nine-month periods ended September 27, 1998 and
     September 28, 1997.

6.   Earnings per share is based upon the earnings for the period
     divided by the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding during the period.  The Company has no
     potentially dilutive securities outstanding.  Accordingly,
     the Company's per share data has not been affected by
     adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     128, "Earnings Per Share," issued in February 1997 and
     effective for annual and interim periods ending after
     December 15, 1997.

7.   For the three and nine-month periods ended September 27,
     1998 and September 28,1997, the Company had no components of
     comprehensive income other than net income.  Accordingly,
     comprehensive income equaled net income for such periods.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Net sales for the quarter ended September 27, 1998 increased by
$102,505, or 7.6%, to $1,451,701 from $1,349,196 for the quarter
ended September 28, 1997. The Company operated five stores
throughout both quarters.  All stores reported increased sales
for the quarter, ranging from 10.4% for the Manhattan restaurant,
the Company's largest, to 3.7% for the sub-leased Brooklyn
location.  The three Brooklyn stores had an aggregate sales
increase of 6.2%.  The Queens location reported a sales increase
of 6.5%.  All of the increases resulted principally from a 7.0%
increase in menu-item sales prices, effected in the first quarter
of 1998.  Viewed in this context, except for the sub-leased
location, the Company maintained substantially all of its
customer counts while actually increasing its customer counts by
approximately 3.4% at the Manhattan location, a remarkable result
given the intense competition in the Times Square area.
 
Net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 1998 increased
by $36,942, or 0.9% to $4,036,875 from $3,999,933 for the nine
months ended September 28, 1997.  The Hillside Avenue, Queens
restaurant was sold on April 15, 1997.  For the five restaurants
operated throughout both nine-month periods, sales increased by
5.4% in the aggregate, with all stores except the sub-leased
location recording gains. The sales gains are principally
attributable to the 7% menu-price increase.

Cost of sales increased by $31,110, or 7.2%,  to $464,044 for the
quarter, while decreasing by $61,744, or 4.7%, to $1,240,650 for
the nine months. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales
decreased by 0.1% to 32.0% for the quarter and by 1.9% to 30.7%
for the year-to-date period, the latter reflecting the 7% sales
price increase in menu items.

Store labor expenses increased by $18,419, or 5.3%, to $368,220
for the quarter while decreasing by $43,918, or 4.0%, to
$1,044,335 for the nine months.  As a percentage of sales, labor
expenses decreased by 0.5% to 25.4% for the quarter and by 1.3%
to 25.9% for the nine months, reflecting principally the 7.0%
increase in menu prices as well as reductions in group health and
workers' compensation expenses attributable to recent marked
decreases in claims.

Store operating and occupancy expenses increased by $26,007, or
8.6%, to $329,735 for the quarter while decreasing by $13,942, or
1.5% to $934,289 for the nine months.  As a percentage of sales,
these expenses increased by 0.2% to 22.7% for the quarter but
decreased by 0.6% to 23.1% for the nine months.

Advertising and royalty expenses were constant at 8.0% of sales
for all periods, reflecting the Company's contractual obligations
as franchisee under the franchise agreements.

Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------

General and administrative expenses, including management fees,
increased by $39,985, or 56.6%, to $110,675 for the quarter and
by $72,598, or 32.0%, to $299,277 for the nine months,
principally  as a result of significantly greater legal and
professional fees incurred in connection with the preparation of
sale agreements for the Company's restaurants and the related
proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Management fees to IFS were constant at $8,000 for
the quarter but decreased by $1,000 to $72,000 for the nine
months in accordance with the contractual agreement therefor.

As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses
increased by 2.4% to 7.6% for the quarter and by 1.7% to 7.4% for
the nine months. Virtually all of the increase as a percentage of
sales for the nine-month period is attributable to the increased
professional fees.  

The Company had no interest expense for the quarter ended
September 27, 1998 having prepaid its bank loan in January of
1998.

Rental income was unchanged at $2,700 for the quarter and $8,100
for the nine months in both years.  The Company's one sub-lease,
yielding $900 per month, was sold together with the Empire
Boulevard Brooklyn location.

For the quarter ended September 28, 1998, the Company realized
$1,961 of income and related expense reimbursement arising from
the Empire Boulevard management sub-contract.  For the
year-to-date periods such income and expense reimbursement
amounts totaled $15,021 and $15,977 for 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  This restaurant was sold to the manager for
$70,000 plus $10,833 in closing adjustments on October 29, 1998.

Pre-tax income decreased by $17,747, or 20.9%, to $66,977 for the
quarter but increased by $70,419, or 47.8%, to $217,853 for the
nine months.   Due to available net operating loss carry-
forwards, only minor income tax provisions were required, $3,000
and $8,000 in the 1998 periods, and $2,000 and $5,000 in the 1997
periods.

Earnings per share were $.01 in each quarter and $.02 for each
year-to-date period.

Comprehensive income equaled net income for each quarterly and
year-to-date period presented.

and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

During the first nine months of 1998, the Company's working
capital increased by $161,143 to $169,511.  The improvement arose
from operations, which provided $259,089, less capital
expenditures of $65,630, retirement of long-term debt of $26,042
and reduction in security deposits payable of $6,274.

The Company's inter-company balance with IFS decreased by $3,660
from $13,222 to $16,882.  Significant fluctuations in this
balance are not expected in the future.

The Company's cash balance increased by $137,793 from $276,956 to
$414,749.  Operating activities provided $298,239, inclusive of
changes in current assets and liabilities which provided $39,150.

Investing activities required $71,904 of which $65,630 was used
for fixed asset purchases.

Financing activities required $88,542, all of which was for the
retirement, at par, of the Company's bank debt.

The Company's stockholders have voted their approval of
management's plan to sell all of the operating assets of the
Company, followed by its liquidation and dissolution.  The Empire
Boulevard Brooklyn store was sold on October 29, 1998. The sale
of the other four restaurants to Popyork, LLC  is awaiting
approval by the franchisor and is expected to close on November
30, 1998. The Company will then retire its remaining liabilities
and distribute its cash to its stockholders.  Such liquidating
distributions are expected to aggregate $.11 per share.  (See
Notes 3 and 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and Part II, Item 4).

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On October 26, 1998, a Special Meeting of the Company's
stockholders was held at the Company's offices at No. 1
Commercial Drive, Area E., Florida, New York.  A quorum being
present, in person or by proxy, the Company's stockholders voted
in favor of management's combined proposal to sell the four
restaurants to Popyork, LLC for $900,000 plus closing adjustments
and to dissolve and liquidate the Company.  The sale is expected
to receive franchisor approval by November 30, 1998 and to close
on that date. The Company will then retire its outstanding
liabilities and distribute its cash to its stockholders in
liquidating distributions. As indicated in the Company's
definitive proxy statement, such distributions are expected to
aggregate $.11 per share.               

Approval by two-thirds of all outstanding shares was required for
passage.  The results of the voting were as follows:
