RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  During the third quarter the Company executed purchase agreements pursuant to
which it may acquire up to 30 Burger King restaurants in the Charlotte, North
Carolina area (the "Charlotte Acquisition") and up to two Burger King
restaurants in the Chicago, Illinois area (the "Illinois Acquisition")
(collectively the "Acquisitions") from two franchisees for an aggregate
purchase price of $27.5 million and $565,000 respectively. The Acquisitions
will be funded through the use of the available credit under the Third Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. The Charlotte Acquisition and the
Illinois Acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The Acquisitions are conditioned on, among other things, both of
the Company and the Sellers' obtaining the consent of Burger King Corporation
("BKC") as well as other closing conditions. It is anticipated that the key
operating personnel of the restaurants acquired in the Charlotte Acquisition
will be retained. Pursuant to the terms of BKC's standard franchise agreements,
acquisitions of Burger King restaurants, including those to be acquired in the
Acquisitions, are subject to BKC's consent and right of first refusal.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting of
normal and recurring accruals) to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 1997 and December 30, 1996, the results of operations
for the three and six periods ended June 30, 1997 and July 1, 1997 and cash
flows for six periods ended June 30, 1997 and July 1, 1996. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on
Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1996 filed on March 28, 1997.
 
  The results of operations for the three and six periods ended June 30, 1997
and July 1, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full fiscal year.
 
  On June 16, 1997, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of 26
restaurants in the Fayetteville and Raleigh Durham areas (the "North Carolina
Acquisition") from a franchisee for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $26.6 million including acquisition related real estate.
 
  Inventories--Inventories consist primarily of restaurant food and supplies
and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
 
  Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share--Net income per share was computed by
deducting from the Company's net income dividends payable to the holders of
Class A1, Class A2 and Class B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred
Stock") and 13% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock due 2008, (the "Senior
Preferred Stock"), and amortization of the issuance costs on the Senior
Preferred Stock and using the weighted average number of common stock of the
Company (the "Common Stock"), and common stock equivalent shares outstanding on
a post-split basis.
 
  Pro Forma Operating Results (Unaudited)--The following are the pro forma
operating results for three and six periods ended June 30, 1997 and July 1,
1996 as if the North Carolina acquisition by the Company had occurred on
January 2, 1996. The pro forma results give effect to changes in depreciation
and amortization resulting from valuing property and franchise agreements at
their estimated fair value and recording the excess of purchase price over the
net assets acquired (000's omitted):

actual operating results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been
consummated at the beginning of the respective periods.
 
2. LONG-TERM DEBT
 
  On June 16, 1997, the Company amended and restated its Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the "Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement") to provide for an increased commitment under its revolving credit
facility (the "Revolver"). Under the Third Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit Agreement, FNBB and the other lenders thereto committed to increase the
borrowing capacity of the Revolver from $15 million to $50 million. Pursuant to
the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, the
interest rate, amortization schedule and maturity of the Revolver were revised.
Interest is calculated as the lesser of the base rate or the Eurodollar rate
and is payable, at a minimum, quarterly. The Third Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement calls for no principal amortization and matures in
June 2002. On June 16, 1997, $21.3 million was borrowed against the Revolver to
finance the North Carolina Acquisition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company operates Burger King restaurants through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, each of which is a party to a BKC franchise agreement. BKC
franchise agreements require a one-time franchise fee (currently $40,000), a
monthly royalty fee of 3.5% of each restaurant's gross sales and a monthly
advertising contribution of 4.0% of gross sales. Most franchise agreements
provide for a term of 20 years, and, at the option of the franchise and BKC, a
renewal franchise agreement may be granted by BKC upon payment of the then
current franchise fee provided that the restaurant meets BKC's operating
standards applicable at that time and the franchisee is not in default under
the relevant franchise agreement. In addition, the Company has reached a
separate agreement with BKC in which the Company has committed to spend 1% of
gross sales on local advertising to supplement BKC's national advertising
activities.
 
  As the Company acquires additional Burger King restaurants, it capitalizes
the value of franchise agreements based on the number of years remaining on
the terms of the agreement and the franchise fee in effect at the time of
acquisition (currently, $40,000 over a 20 year term or $2,000 per year) and it
capitalizes excess cost over fair value of the other net assets acquired and
amortizes goodwill expense for financial statement purposes over a 35-year
period. The Company generally purchases assets and is able to deduct goodwill
amortization expense for tax purposes over a 15-year period.
 
  Restaurant sales include food sales and merchandise sales. Merchandise sales
include convenience store sales at the Company's dual-use facilities (of which
the Company currently has ten), as well as sales of promotional products at
the Company's restaurants. Historically, merchandise sales have contributed
less than 3.0% to restaurant sales. Promotional products, which account for
the majority of merchandise sales, are generally sold at or near the Company's
costs.
 
  EBITDA represents operating income plus depreciation and amortization
(including losses on disposal of fixed assets, losses on disposition of
equipment less gain on sale of restaurants) and management and director's
fees. While EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for operating
income or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flow from operating
activities, which are determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, EBITDA is included to provide additional information
with respect to the ability of the Company to meet its future debt service,
capital expenditure and working capital requirements. In addition, management
believes that certain investors find EBITDA to be a useful tool for measuring
the ability of the Company to service its debt. EBITDA is not necessarily a
measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. See the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows of the Company and the related notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
 
  The Company includes in the comparable restaurant sales analysis discussed
below only those restaurants that have been in operation for a minimum of
thirteen months. For a restaurant not operating for the entire prior annual
period, the sales for the interim period in the prior year are compared to
that for the comparable interim period in the indicated year.
 
THREE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 1996
 
  Restaurant Sales. Total sales increased $0.9 million or 1.6% during the
three periods ended June 30, 1997, to $54.4 million from $53.5 million during
the three periods ended July 1, 1996, due primarily to the inclusion of the 26
restaurants purchased on June 16, 1997. In addition, the Company developed 5
restaurants, sold 10 restaurants, and closed 2 restaurants in 1997. Newly
acquired restaurants accounted for $1.3 million of the total increase in
restaurant sales, while new restaurant development accounted for $2.9 million
of the increase in sales. Sales at the comparable restaurants owned by the
Company for the three periods ended June 30, 1997 decreased $0.6 million or
(1.2%). Total sales were reduced by $2.4 million due the 10 restaurants sold
and $0.3 million due to the restaurants closed during the three periods.

1997, and increased 0.5% as a percentage of sales to 32.8% during the three
periods ended June 30, 1997 from 32.3% during the three periods ended July 1,
1996. The percentage increase in cost of sales was due to a 1.4% increase in
the cost of non-food sales offset by a 1.0% decrease on the cost of food sales,
primarily as a result of a lower level of discounting and improved cost
controls.
 
  Restaurant labor and related expenses increased $0.1 million during the three
periods ended June 30, 1997, and decreased 0.1% as a percentage of restaurant
sales to 24.6% during the three periods ended July 1, 1996 from 24.7% during
the three periods ended July 1, 1996. The increase in restaurant labor was due
to an increase in the federal minimum wage offset by a $0.2 million decrease in
accrued payroll taxes.

ended June 30, 1997, to $2.1 million during the three periods ended June 30,
1997 from $1.9 million during the three periods ended July 1, 1996. As a
percentage of sales, depreciation and amortization expense increased 0.3% to
3.8% during the three periods ended June 30, 1997 from 3.5% during the three
periods ended July 1, 1996. The increase was due primarily to the increase in
goodwill amortization resulting from the purchase method of accounting for the
newly acquired restaurants.
 
  Occupancy and other expenses increased $1.2 million during the three periods
ended June 30, 1997, and increased 1.9% as a percentage of sales to 28.7%

June 30, 1997 from 10.4% during the three periods ended July 1, 1996. Other
operating expenses increased $1.0 million during the three periods ended June
1, 1997, and increased 1.7% as a percentage of sales to 18.1% during the three
periods ended June 30, 1997 from 16.4% during the three periods ended July 1,
1996. This decrease is a primarily a result of the provision for disposition of
equipment of $0.7 million and an increase in local advertising pursuant to the
BKC Agreement.
 
  EBITDA. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
decreased $0.6 million or 8.5% to $6.2 million for the three periods ended June
30, 1997 from $6.8 million for the three periods ended July 1, 1996. As a

1996.

during the three periods ended June 30, 1997 from $4.6 million during the three
periods ended July 1, 1996. As a percentage of sales, operating income
increased 1.2%, to 9.9% during the three periods ended June 30, 1997 from 8.7%
during the three periods ended July 1, 1996. This increase is a primarily a
result of the gain of $1.9 million realized upon the sale of the 10
restaurants.
 
SIX PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 1996
 
  Restaurant Sales. Total sales increased $7.1 million or 7.4% during the six
periods ended June 30, 1997, to $103.8 million from $96.7 million during the
six periods ended July 1, 1996, due primarily to the inclusion of the 26
restaurants purchased on June 16, 1997. In addition, the Company developed 5
restaurants, sold 10 restaurants, and closed 2 restaurants in 1997. Newly
acquired restaurants accounted for $4.8 million of the total increase in

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company's primary cash requirements following its concurrent offerings
(together, the "Offerings") of $100.0 million of 10 3/4% Senior Notes due 2006
(the "Senior Notes") and $30.0 million of units (the "Units") consisting of
1.2 million shares of Senior Preferred Stock and 30,000 shares of Common Stock
will be used to finance additional acquisitions, capital expenditures in
connection with the development of new restaurants, upgrades of acquired and
existing restaurants and general working capital needs. The Company has
budgeted approximately $355,000 for the development of each of its new
restaurants. The Company anticipates it will spend approximately an additional
$3.0 to $5.0 million annually for other capital expenditures. In
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
connection with certain of its previous acquisitions of Burger King
restaurants, the Company committed to expend up to $2.3 million by September 1,
1997 to upgrade the initial 68 Burger King restaurants it acquired. The Company
has met this commitment. In addition, the Company has committed to BKC that it
will make capital expenditures at its AmeriKing Tennessee Corporation I
restaurants of approximately $1.5 million on or before September 7, 1997, of
which approximately ninety percent had been made as of June 30, 1997. The
Company has further committed to BKC that for the foreseeable future (i) it
will make capital expenditures on its existing restaurants equal to 1% of its
gross sales and (ii) it will spend an amount equal to 1% of its gross sales on
local advertising. The Company has also committed to BKC that it will develop
17 restaurants in fiscal 1997. In the event the Company fails to develop at
least 14 restaurants in fiscal 1997, the Company will pay BKC $150,000. In
addition to the extent the Company develops 13 or fewer restaurants in fiscal
1997, the Company will be obligated to pay BKC $75,000 for each restaurant less
than 14 it fails to develop. The actual amount of the Company's cash
requirements for capital expenditures depends on, among other things, the
number of new restaurants opened or acquired and the costs associated with such
restaurants and the number of franchises subject to renewal and the costs
associated with bringing the related restaurants up to BKC's then current
design specifications in connection with these franchise renewals.
 
  The Company is structured as a holding company with no independent
operations, as the Company's operations are conducted exclusively through its
wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company's only significant assets are the
capital stock of its subsidiaries. As a holding company, the Company's cash
flow, its ability to meet its debt service requirements and its ability to pay
cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock are dependent upon the earnings of
its subsidiaries and their ability to declare dividends or make other
intercompany transfers to the Company. Under the terms of the indenture
pursuant to which the Senior Notes were offered (the "Indenture"), the
Company's subsidiaries may incur certain indebtedness pursuant to agreements
that may restrict the ability of such subsidiaries to make such dividends or
other intercompany transfers necessary to service the Company's obligations,
including its obligations under the Senior Notes, the Senior Preferred Stock
and any 13% Subordinated Exchange Debentures due 2008 (the "Exchange
Debentures") the Company may exchange pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture
restricts, among other things, the Company's and its Restricted Subsidiaries'
(as defined in the Indenture) ability to pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, including the payment of cash dividends on or the
redemption of the Senior Preferred Stock, to incur additional indebtedness, to
encumber or sell assets, to enter into transactions with affiliates, to enter
into certain guarantees of indebtedness, to make restricted investments, to
merge or consolidate with any other entity and to transfer or lease all or
substantially all of their assets. In addition, (I) the Company's Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (as defined) with the First National Bank of Boston
and other lenders thereto contains other and more restrictive covenants and
prohibits the Company's subsidiaries from declaring dividends or making other
intercompany transfers to the Company in certain circumstances and (ii)
agreements reached with BKC contain restrictions with respect to dividend
payments and intercompany loans.
 
  The Company believes that the proceeds from its Offerings, together with its
available credit of $28.7 million under its Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and the Company's cash on hand, will be sufficient to cover its
working capital, capital expenditures, planned development and debt service
requirements for fiscal 1997. The Company expects that additional financing
will be required in connection with any significant acquisitions in the future.
