CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 1. BUSINESS PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of I.C.H. Corporation (the "Company") and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. BUSINESS AND PRESENTATION The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, principally Sybra, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain information discussed below may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Among those risks, trends and uncertainties are the general economic climate, costs of food and labor, consumer demand, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and other risks associated with the acquisition, development and operation of new and existing restaurants. Unless otherwise indicated all amounts are in thousands, except share amounts. GENERAL The Company conducts its restaurant operations principally through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sybra, Inc. and Lyon's of California, Inc. Restaurant costs and expenses include all direct costs, including direct labor, occupancy costs, advertising expenses, royalty payments, expenditures for repairs and maintenance, and workers' compensation, casualty and general liability insurance costs. Advertising fees paid by the Company's Sybra subsidiary to the AFA Service Corporation, a non-profit association of Arby's restaurant operators, to develop and prepare advertising materials and to undertake marketing research, are equal 9 to 0.7% of restaurant sales. In addition, the Company operates its restaurants pursuant to licenses which require the Company to pay Arby's, Inc. a royalty based upon percentages of its restaurant sales (presently an aggregate of approximately 3.3% of the Company's restaurant sales). The royalty rate for new restaurants (currently 4.0%) will result in an increase in the Company's aggregate royalty rate as new Arby's restaurants are opened. General and administrative expenses consist of corporate and regional office expenses, including executive and administrative compensation, office expenses, travel and professional fees. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, with respect to the Company and for the periods indicated, the percentage of total revenues represented by certain expense and income items.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999. Revenues-Consolidated revenues were $64.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $61.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $3.3 million or 5.3%. This sales increase is due primarily to additional sales from Sybra new store openings and acquisitions, offset by the sale of 9 Sybra Arby's location during the fourth quarter of 1999, a Sybra same store sales decrease of 2.8%, one closed Lyon's restaurant in the fourth quarter of 1999, the temporary closing of one Lyon's restaurant for remodeling during the quarter, one Lyon's restaurant closed due to fire in July, 2000 and a Lyon's same store sales decrease of 4.8%. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Consolidated restaurant costs and expenses were $56.2 million, or 87.1% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $52.3 million or 85.3% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $4.0 million. The increase in total restaurant costs and expenses is due to costs associated with the new Sybra restaurants discussed above. As a percentage of sales, costs increased primarily as a result of reduced restaurant level efficiencies related to the decrease in same store sales and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other restaurant operating costs. General and Administrative-General and administrative costs and expenses were $3.9 million, or 6.1% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $3.5 million, or 5.7% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. General and administrative costs for the three months 10 ended September 30, 2000 include a non-recurring, pre-opening charge amounting to $131,000 related to Lyon's remodels. Depreciation and Amortization-Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense was $2.0 million, or 3.1% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $1.4 million, or 2.3% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $599,000. This increase is due to added depreciation expense associated with the new Sybra restaurants discussed above, depreciation associated with a new point of sale system at Lyon's, depreciation associated with the capital expenditures for the three remodeled Lyon's restaurants and depreciation related to normal capital expenditures at both Sybra and Lyon's. Interest Expense-Consolidated interest expense was $2.7 million, or 4.1% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $2.1 million or 3.4% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to interest expense related to Sybra's new store openings and acquisitions as well as interest related to the financing of new point of sale equipment at Lyon's. COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999. Revenues-Consolidated revenues were $187.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $182.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $5.3 million, or 2.9%. This increase is due primarily to additional sales from Sybra new store openings and acquisitions offset by the sale of 9 Sybra Arby's locations during the fourth quarter of 1999, a Sybra same store sales decrease of 1.6%, one closed Lyon's restaurant in the fourth quarter of 1999, the temporary closing of three Lyon's restaurants for remodeling during the period, one Lyon's restaurant closed due to fire in July, 2000 and a Lyon's same store sales decrease of 6.3%. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Consolidated restaurant costs and expenses were $161.6 million, or 86.2% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $155.3 million, or 85.2% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $6.3 million. The increase in total restaurant costs and expenses is due to costs associated with the new Sybra restaurants discussed above. As a percentage of sales, costs increased primarily as a result of reduced restaurant level efficiencies related to the decrease in same store sales and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other restaurant operating costs. General and Administrative-General and administrative costs and expenses were $11.9 million, or 6.3% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $10.9 million, or 6.0% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 include a non-recurring, pre-opening charge amounting to $153,000 related to the remodeling of three Lyon's restaurants. Depreciation and Amortization-Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense was $5.4 million, or 2.9% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $4.1 million, or 2.3% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $1.3 million. This increase is due to added depreciation expense associated with the new Sybra restaurants discussed above, depreciation associated with a new point of sale system at Lyon's, depreciation associated with the capital expenditures for the three remodeled Lyon's restaurants and depreciation related to normal capital expenditures at both Sybra and Lyon's. Non-recurring and Restructuring Charges-In the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $4.9 million primarily related to payments associated with the departure of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 11 Interest Expense-Consolidated interest expense was $7.5 million, or 4.0% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $6.1 million, or 3.3% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to interest expense related to Sybra's new store openings and acquisitions and to the purchase of new point of sale equipment for the Company's Lyon's restaurants. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company operates entirely in the food service industry with substantially all revenues resulting from the sale of menu products at the restaurants operated by its wholly-owned subsidiaries. At September 30, 2000, Sybra owned and operated 208 Arby's restaurants and Lyon's owned and operated 72 Lyon's restaurants. The Company considers each subsidiary a reportable segment. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999-SYBRA, INC. Sales-Sybra's sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 were $41.0 million, as compared to $36.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $4.8 million, or 13.3% over the prior year comparable period. This increase is due to sales from new store openings and store acquisitions, offset by a same store sales decrease of 2.8% and the disposition of 9 Arby's units in the fourth quarter of 1999. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Sybra's restaurant costs and expenses were $34.2 million, or 83.5% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $29.7 million, or 82.1% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $4.5 million due to the sales increase explained above. As a percentage of sales, costs increased primarily as a result of lower same store sales volumes and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other restaurant operating costs. Depreciation and Amortization-Sybra's depreciation and amortization expense was $1.5 million, or 3.7% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $1.1 million, or 3.1% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to additional depreciation related to Sybra's new store openings and store acquisitions. 12 COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999-SYBRA, INC. Sales-Sybra's sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $117.5 million, as compared to $106.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $11.0 million, or 10.3%, over the prior year comparable period. This increase is due to sales from new store openings and store acquisitions, offset by a same store sales decrease of 1.6% and the disposition of 9 Arby's units in the fourth quarter of 1999. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Sybra's restaurant costs and expenses were $96.5 million, or 82.1% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $87.0 million, or 81.8% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $9.5 million due to the sales increase explained above. As a percentage of sales, restaurant operating costs increased slightly as a result of the lower same store sales volumes and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other restaurant operating costs. Depreciation and Amortization-Sybra's depreciation and amortization expense was $4.2 million, or 3.6% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $3.4 million, or 3.2% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to additional depreciation related to Sybra's new store openings and store acquisitions. New stores typically experience higher depreciation as a percentage of sales and as a result depreciation will increase as a blended percentage of sales as new Arby's units are opened. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES-SYBRA, INC. Sybra's capital expenditures were $14.6 million and $7.0 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. These amounts include new store development, as well as store maintenance, store remodel and store renovation capital expenditures.

This decrease is due to the closing of one Lyon's restaurant in the fourth quarter of 1999, the temporary closing of one restaurant for remodeling during this quarter, one store closed due to fire in July, 2000 and a same store sales decrease of 4.8%. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Lyon's restaurant costs and expenses were $22.0 million, or 95.2% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $22.5 million, or 90.4% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $551,000 due to the sales decline explained above. As a percentage of sales, costs increased primarily as a result of reduced restaurant level efficiencies related to the decrease in same store sales and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other 13 restaurant operating costs. Additionally, Lyon's financial performance during the quarter was adversely impacted by the earlier conversion to an unregulated utility provider which was subsequently reversed. Depreciation and Amortization-Lyon's depreciation and amortization expense was $480,000, or 2.1% of sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $256,000, or 1.0% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The increase both in dollars and as a percentage of sales is primarily due to additional depreciation associated with the installation of new point of sale equipment in 67 of the Lyon's locations, depreciation associated with three restaurant remodels and depreciation associated with ongoing capital expenditures. COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999-LYON'S Sales-Lyon's sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $69.3 million as compared to $75.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 8.1%, from the prior year comparable period. This decrease is due to the closing of one Lyon's restaurant in the fourth quarter of 1999, the temporary closing of three Lyon's restaurants for remodeling during the period, one Lyon's restaurant closed due to fire in July, 2000 and a Lyon's same store sales decrease of 6.3%. Restaurant Costs & Expenses-Lyon's restaurant costs and expenses were $65.1 million, or 93.9% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $68.3 million, or 90.5% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $3.2 million due to the sales decline explained above. As a percentage of sales, costs increased primarily as a result of reduced restaurant level efficiencies related to the decrease in sales and moderate inflation in the cost of food, labor and other restaurant operating costs. Depreciation and Amortization-Lyon's depreciation and amortization expense was $1.3 million or 1.8% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $761,000, or 1.0% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase both in dollars and as a percentage of sales is primarily due to additional depreciation associated with the installation of new point of sale equipment in 67 of the Lyon's locations, depreciation associated with three restaurant remodels and depreciation associated with ongoing capital expenditures. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES-LYON'S Lyon's capital expenditures were $5.7 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Capital expenditures for the period ended September 30, 2000 include approximately $3.1 million related to the purchase of new point of sale equipment. The balance of these costs are related to restaurant remodels and maintenance. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Sybra acquisition, the Lyon's acquisition, operating lease requirements and the funding of capital expenditures primarily for new store openings. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had total long-term debt of $92.5 million, which included $26.4 million under a term facility with Atherton Capital Incorporated (the "Atherton Loan"), $15.4 million under a term facility with USRP (Finance) LLC (the "USRP Loan"), $15.5 million under three term loans with FINOVA Capital Corporation (the "FINOVA Loans") and certain other indebtedness totaling $35.2 million. The Atherton Loan has a weighted-average maturity of 12.5 years (of which approximately 9.1 years remain), bears interest at 10.63%, requires monthly payments of principal and interest, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets owned by Sybra at the time it was acquired by the Company and imposes certain financial restrictions and covenants. The USRP Loan has a weighted average maturity 14 of 12 years (of which approximately 10.3 years remain) a weighted average interest rate of 12.75%, requires monthly payments of principal and interest, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets owned by Lyon's and imposes certain financial restrictions and covenants. The FINOVA loans have original maturities of 10 to 15 years, interest rates ranging from 10.10% to 10.88%, require monthly payments of principal and interest and are collateralized by certain restaurant assets as defined in the agreements. The Company's primary source of liquidity during the quarter was the operation of the restaurants owned by its principal operating subsidiaries, Sybra and Lyon's, debt and lease financing, and a $7.0 million revolving credit facility with FINOVA Capital which may be used for the development and acquisition of Arby's restaurants and for the refinancing of other existing Sybra indebtedness. In the future, the Company's liquidity and capital resources will primarily depend on the operations of Sybra and Lyon's which, under the provisions of the Company's loan agreements, would permit, under certain conditions, distributions and dividends to the Company. Sybra and Lyon's, like most restaurant businesses, are able to operate with nominal or deficit working capital because all sales are for cash and inventory turnover is rapid. Renovation and/or remodeling of existing restaurants is either funded directly from available cash or, in some instances, is financed through outside lenders. Construction or acquisition of new restaurants is generally, although not always, financed by outside lenders. The Company believes that it will continue to be able to secure adequate financing on acceptable terms for new restaurant construction and acquisitions and that cash generated from operations will be adequate to meet its needs for the foreseeable future, although no assurances can be given. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION On July 24, 2000 the Company's Sybra subsidiary completed the acquisition of eight Arby's restaurants located in the state of Connecticut. The purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $6,75 million, of which approximately $2.25 million was financed through sale-leaseback transactions, and approximately $4.45 million was financed through leasehold mortgages. 15 ITEM 6.
