                            DAKA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            Six months ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of DAKA International, Inc. and its
majority-controlled subsidiaries ("DAKA" or the "Company"). 
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Business

The Company's principal subsidiaries, Daka, Inc. ("Daka"),
Fuddruckers, Inc. ("Fuddruckers") and Americana Dining Corp.
("ADC"), operate in the contract foodservice and restaurant
industries.  Daka provides restaurant style contract foodservice
management at a variety of schools and colleges as well as other
facilities.  Fuddruckers owns, operates and franchises
Fuddruckers restaurants throughout the United States and in
Canada, Australia and the Middle East.  ADC, a majority
controlled subsidiary, owns and operates two restaurants in the
Minneapolis area under the name "Champps Americana" pursuant to
a license agreement from Champps Entertainment, Inc. ("CEI"),
licensor and franchisor of Champps Americana restaurants.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair
presentation of financial position and results of operations. 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the fiscal year ended July 1, 1995.  The consolidated
results of operations for the quarter and six months ended
December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of results that could be expected for a full year.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to June
30th.  For purposes of these notes to the consolidated financial
statements the three and six months ended December 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 are referred to as 1995 and 1994,
respectively. 

<PAGE>
Earnings Per Share

Primary earnings per share are computed using the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares (dilutive
options and warrants) outstanding.  In addition to the inclusion
of common and common equivalent shares, the calculation of fully
diluted earnings per share includes the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock which amounted to 264,700 and
2,222,222 shares in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and the shares
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes
("Notes") which amounted to 1,003,750 and 2,094,418 shares in
1995 and 1994, respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share
assumes that the Preferred Stock and Notes were converted into
Common Stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year and reflect
the elimination of interest expense related to the Notes, net of
the related income tax effect, and the elimination of dividends
related to the Preferred Stock.

The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of
earnings per share for 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

2.   Pending Merger

On October 10, 1995, CEI Acquisition Corp., a newly formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Champps
Entertainment, Inc. ("Champps") entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby the Company
would issue .40 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock
for each share of Champps common stock outstanding or issuable
upon exercise of Champps stock options or warrants, subject to
adjustment as defined in the Merger Agreement (the "Merger"). 
The Exchange Ratio will increase to .43 in the event that the
average closing price of the Company's common stock during the
20 trading days preceding the second trading day prior to the
closing date of the Merger is less than $30 per share or
decrease to .37 in the event that the average closing price of
the Company's common stock during the 20 trading days preceding
the second trading day prior to the closing date of the Merger
is greater than $35 per share.  Consummation of the Merger is
conditioned upon the transaction qualifying for treatment as a
pooling of interests for accounting and financial reporting
purposes.  Upon consummation of the Merger, under the pooling of
interests method of accounting, the Company will restate its
historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the
inclusion of Champps' assets, liabilities, shareholders'
investment and operating results to reflect the Merger as if the Company
and Champps had been combined for all periods presented. In addition,
transaction costs associated with the Merger will
be charged to expense in the period that the Merger is
consummated.

The Merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of both
the Company and Champps at shareholder meetings to be held on
February 21, 1996.  The current President of Champps has entered
into a five year employment agreement with the Company whereby,
subsequent to the Merger, he will serve as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Champps .

3.  Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In certain circumstances, where management and legal counsel
believe that a loss has been incurred, the Company has recorded
an estimate of such loss.  The Company is also engaged in
various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business which, in the judgment of management, based upon
consultation with legal counsel, the Company has adequate legal
defenses or insurance coverage with respect to these actions or
believes that the ultimate outcome will not have a material
adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

Letters of Credit

At December 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $8 million
of outstanding letters of credit. In February 1996,
approximately $4.1 million of outstanding letters of credit were
released,  resulting in an increase in the Company's borrowing capacity
under its line-of-credit agreement.

Leases

In December 1995, CEI obtained a commitment for a $40,000
development and sale-leaseback financing facility from AEI Fund
Management, Inc. ("AEI").  Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, CEI will sell and lease back from AEI Champps
restaurants to be constructed, in which CEI has an ownership
interest in the real estate and will pay a commitment fee of 1%
of the sale price of each property sold to AEI. The purchase
price shall be equal to the total project cost of the property,
as defined in the agreement, not to exceed its appraised value
(the "Purchase Price"). The unused commitment, if any, expires
on December 6, 1997. The leases, to be guaranteed by DAKA, 
provide for a fixed minimum rent based on a percentage of the respective
property's Purchase Price, subject to subsequent CPI-based increases.
The leases also provide for an initial term of 20 years with two 5-year
renewal options exercisable at the option of  CEI. The terms and
conditions of the sale-leaseback are such that they do not meet
the criteria for treatment as capital leases under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13 "Accounting  for
Leases."  AEI's commitment is contingent upon consummation of
the Merger discussed in Note 2.

In December 1995, the Company obtained a $3,500 capital lease
facility from Chase Equipment Leasing, Inc. ("Chase"). The lease
provides for fifty-one consecutive monthly rental payments,
based on the total of all progress payments made by Chase,
commencing on or before July 1, 1996.  Interest accrues at the
LIBOR rate plus 1%.

In October 1995, Fuddruckers obtained a commitment for a $25,000
sale-leaseback financing facility from Franchise Finance
Corporation of America ("FFCA").  Pursuant to the terms of the
facility, Fuddruckers will sell and lease back from FFCA up to
20 Fuddruckers restaurants to be constructed, in which
Fuddruckers has an ownership interest in the real estate and
will pay a commitment fee of 1.5% of the sale price of each
property sold to FFCA.  The sale price is limited to the lesser
of 80% of the fair market value of the property or $1,250.  The
unused commitment, if any, expires on October 31, 1996.  The
leases provide for a fixed minimum rent plus additional rent
based on a percentage of sales and provide for an initial lease
term of 20 years with two 5-year renewal options exercisable at
the option of Fuddruckers.  The terms and conditions of the
sale-leaseback are such that they do not meet the criteria for
treatment as capital leases under SFAS No. 13.

<PAGE>
4.  Debt

In December 1995, the Company amended its revolving
line-of-credit agreement, increasing the Company's borrowing
capacity from $75,000 to $100,000, extending the maturity date
to November 30, 1998 and amending certain loan covenants.  At
December 30, 1995, borrowings under the line-of-credit
aggregated $71,200.

During the quarter and six months ended December 30, 1995,
$3,455 and $8,439, respectively, of Notes were converted into
common stock. In connection with the conversion, the Company
increased Stockholders' Equity by $3,338 and $8,197,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 30,
1995.  As of December 30, 1995, $12,045 of Notes remained
outstanding.  The conversion had no effect upon fully diluted
earnings per share since the shares issuable upon conversion of
the Notes were included in the calculation of fully diluted
earnings per share.

5.	Preferred Stock

During 1995, in two separate transactions, Holders of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") converted
88,088 shares of Preferred Stock into 1,957,521 shares of common
stock.  The conversion had no effect upon fully diluted earnings
per share since the shares issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock were already included in the calculation of
fully diluted earnings per share.  As of December 30, 1995,
11,912 shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding which may be
converted into 264,700 shares common stock at any time at the
Holders option.

6.	Subsequent Event

In January 1996, DAKA acquired for approximately $5 million, a
16.7% equity interest in the form of convertible redeemable
preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") in La Salsa Holding Co.
("La Salsa"), a franchisor and operator of La Salsa Mexican
restaurants.  Each share of Preferred Stock may be converted
into La Salsa's Class D Common Stock at $1.50 per share and is
redeemable at face value in installments beginning on March 3,
2000. In addition, DAKA received warrants to acquire, within 18
months, shares of convertible redeemable preferred stock
representing an additional 13.3% equity interest for
approximately $7.1 million.  La Salsa currently has 30
franchised and 27 owned stores in California and throughout the
southwestern part of the United States.  The transaction is
currently treated as an investment using the cost method of
accounting.

Daka conducts its operations on the basis of two types of
foodservice contracts with its clients.  The first type is a
management fee contract pursuant to which a client pays Daka a
negotiated fee for overseeing and administering its foodservice
operations and reimburses Daka for all costs incurred in
providing such service.  Management fee contracts are prevalent
where companies subsidize food services as part of the benefits
provided to employees and in elementary and secondary schools. 
The second type of contract is a profit and loss contract
whereby Daka assumes the risk of profit or loss from the
foodservice operations.  While Daka manages the total sales
volume attributable to both contract types, generally accepted
accounting principles require that Daka recognize sales and
expenses from profit and loss contracts, but only the management
fee amount derived from management fee contracts.  Consequently,
Daka does not recognize sales and expenses with respect to
management fee contracts.  As a result, Daka's managed volume,
which represents both sales made pursuant to profit and loss
contracts and sales to guests of foodservice clients pursuant to
management fee contracts, is considerably greater than the
revenues it recognizes.

Managed volume in the Company's foodservice business increased
$15.9 million or 21% to $92.0 million during the quarter ended
December 30, 1995 as compared to $76.1 million in the comparable
quarter of 1994. During the six months ended December 30, 1995,
managed volume increased $30.3 million or 23% to $162.2 million
compared to $132.0 million in 1994. The increase in managed
volume was primarily due to $21.7 million and $39.4 million in
the quarter and six month period, respectively, of managed
volume generated by the educational and corporate foodservice
contracts acquired from ServiceMaster Management Services L.P.
("SMMSLP") on February 8, 1995 by Daka Restaurants, L.P.
("DRLP"), an 80.01% owned consolidated subsidiary of Daka,
increased comparable sales of 2.6% and 2.5% in the quarter and
six month periods, respectively, and new contracts added during
1995, offset by managed volume associated with certain lost or
terminated contracts. 

During fiscal 1995, a number of marginally profitable or
unprofitable contracts expired and, accordingly, became subject
to a competitive bidding process.  Throughout this process, Daka
rebid unprofitable or marginally profitable contracts on terms
that should provide it with an acceptable profit.  Certain of
these contracts were retained, and, as anticipated, certain
other contracts were not retained.  Despite the loss of these
contracts, operating margins as well as income from foodservice
operations in Daka's base business, excluding the educational
and corporate foodservice contracts acquired in 1995 from
SMMSLP, improved during the quarter and six month periods ended
December 30, 1995 compared to the same periods last year.

Income from foodservice operations increased 31% to $10.6
million during the quarter ended December 30, 1995 as compared
to $8.1 million in the comparable quarter of 1994.  Income from
profit and loss contracts as a percentage of sales from profit
and loss contracts increased during the quarter and six months
ended December 30, 1995 as compared to the comparable quarter of
1994 despite the lower operating margins associated with the
educational foodservice contracts acquired from SMMSLP in 1995. 
The lower operating margins associated with the educational
foodservice contracts acquired is typical of the educational
foodservice industry and consistent with the operating margins
in Daka's existing educational foodservice business.

</TABLE>

Sales in Fuddruckers-owned restaurants increased $5.6 million or
21.9% during the quarter ended December 30, 1995 compared to the
quarter ended December 31, 1994.  This increase results from
$1.1 million of sales at 5 restaurants acquired from franchisees
during fiscal 1995, $7.1 million of sales at 30 new restaurants
opened after the first quarter of last year offset, in part, by
a $0.9 million decrease in sales resulting from the closing of
two restaurants and the sale of three restaurants to
franchisees. In addition, comparable sales decreased by 2.3% in
the second quarter ended December  30, 1995 compared to the
second quarter of last year principally due to inclement weather
in many of  Fuddruckers' major markets during December. 

Sales in Fuddruckers-owned restaurants increased $12.8 million
or 24.7% during the six months ended December 30, 1995 compared
to the comparable period last year.  This increase results from
$2.3 million of sales at 5 restaurants acquired from franchisees
during fiscal 1995, $14.7 million of sales at 30 new
restaurants, offset, in part, by a $1.8 million decrease in
sales resulting from the closing of two restaurants and the sale
of three restaurants to franchisees.  Additionally, comparable
restaurant sales for the six months ended December 30, 1995
decreased by 1.9% compared to last year.

Income from restaurant and franchise operations increased to
$5.4 million and $11.6 million for the quarter and six months
ended December 30, 1995 as compared to $3.9 million and $8.4
million during the comparable quarter and six month period of
last year.  Income from restaurant operations as a percentage of
sales from Fuddruckers-owned restaurants decreased during the
quarter and six month periods ended December 30, 1995 due to the
effect of lower comparable sales and increased discounting
related to the "Kids Eat Free" program available for the first
time on Sundays in the second quarter in many of  Fuddruckers'
markets.  The decrease in comparable restaurant sales and
operating margins during the quarter and six months ended
December 30, 1995 was offset by income from new restaurants and
increased franchising income principally due to increased
franchising in international markets.

</TABLE>

Sales increased in both the quarter and the six months ended
December 30, 1995 as a result of $245 of sales from one new
restaurant opened in Ohio in December and increased comparable
sales of 3.9% and 3.7%, in the quarter and six month periods,
respectively. Higher operating expenses reflect higher initial
costs at the newly opened restaurant.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1
million to $9.0 million for the quarter ended December 30, 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.7
million to $17.8 million for the six months ended December 30,
1995 compared to $14.1 million in the comparable period of last
year. The increase primarily relates to closing costs incurred
with two Fuddruckers restaurants, upgrading of management
information systems and hiring additional personnel to support 
the overall growth in  revenues.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of managed volume, which
includes managed volume in the foodservice business as well as
sales at Company-owned Fuddruckers and Champps restaurants,
increased to 7.2% and 7.7% during the three and six months ended
December 30, 1995 as compared to 6.7% and 7.5% in the comparable
periods of last year.  

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $1.2 million during
the quarter and increased $0.7 million to $2.5 million during the
six months ended December 30, 1995 compared to comparable
periods of last year.  The increase is a result of an overall
higher level of borrowings under the Company's line-of-credit
which were used to fund capital expenditures in both the
foodservice and Fuddruckers businesses, offset, in part, by a
decrease in interest expense as a result of the conversion of
$16.7 million of the Convertible Subordinated  Notes since 
December 1994.

<PAGE>
Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate increased to 38% for the
quarter and six months ended December 30, 1995 as compared to
37% for the comparable periods of last year.  The increase was
primarily due to higher pretax income and the elimination of the
targeted job tax credit in December 1994.

Earnings Per Share

Primary earnings per share decreased 8.6% and 7.1% for the
quarter and six months ended December 30, 1995 while fully
diluted earnings per share increased 27.8% and 25.9% for the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
last year.  The decrease in primary earnings per share was
primarily due to 83% and 65% increases in the primary weighted
average number of shares outstanding at the end of the quarter
and six months ended December 30, 1995, respectively, and the
effect of the Preferred Stock dividend paid in 1994, offset, in
part, by a 41% increase in net income.   The 1,957,521 shares of
common stock issued upon conversion of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock and the conversion of a portion of the Company's
Convertible Subordinated Notes into shares of common stock were
the principal reasons for the increase in primary weighted
average shares.  The shares issued pursuant to the conversion of
the Preferred Stock and Convertible Subordinated Notes had no
effect on fully diluted earnings per share since such shares
were previously included in the calculation of fully diluted
earnings per share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital amounted to $29.1 million at December 30, 1995,
an increase of $18.9 million compared to working capital of
$10.2 million at July 1, 1995.  The increase in working capital
is principally due to the use of borrowings under the Company's
line-of-credit agreement, classified as long-term debt, to fund
operating activities as a result of the seasonal increase in
accounts receivable due to the commencement of foodservice
operations at schools and colleges served by the Company.  At
December 30, 1995 the Company had approximately $20.8 million of
available borrowing capacity remaining on its line-of-credit.

Capital expenditures in the six months ended December 30, 1995
aggregated approximately $28.4 million, and consisted of $19.3
million for new Fuddruckers restaurants and upgrades at existing
restaurants, $3.5 million for new Champps restaurants under
construction, $1.2 million for updating the Company's
information systems and $4.4 million for improvements at
facilities of foodservice clients.  Capital expenditures were
funded through a combination of borrowings under the Company's
line-of-credit agreement and approximately $8.2 million of
proceeds from its sale-leaseback facility.

The Company plans to open additional new Fuddruckers-owned
restaurants, continue to reorient facilities of foodservice
clients to a more retail restaurant environment and open one
additional Champps Americana restaurant during fiscal 1996. 
Management believes that cash flow from operations, existing
cash, available borrowings under its line-of-credit as well as
its sale-lease back facilities will provide sufficient liquidity
to pay all liabilities in the normal course of business, fund
capital expenditures and service debt requirements for the
foreseeable future.
